4ACt tA4aU AA4S 2 OA SASAA ASSAeSs subversive activities.
 Submitted by Senator Guy oil. lette of Iowa, author of the bill for 6 probe Of these operations, the evidence reveals that while Special Envoy Kurusu has been talking araity, agents of his gov. ernment have been organizing . secret pro-Axis army In the United States and Hawai-.
 According to Gillette, three organizations gre active In these undercoVee operations - Che Japanese Military SeFvlcomeTl's League, the National Citizens League and the Japanese xms peFiag COmradeship Society.
 Gillette claims to have proof that two of these organizations have a group of 7,20o adherents, chiefly In California and Hawaii. They are pledged to "dle for Japan. Also he has evidence that all three organizations are carTy- ing on activities hostile to our national defense and have raised considerable sums for the Jap- anese army and navy.
 A recent FBN raid on tho headquarters of two other Jap. anese examinations in Los Ans geIeS produced records showing that large amounts of money had been sent Co Tokyo for the military forces.
 Gillette also has evidence that Japanese Americans who refuse to join the fifth column units are told that bodily harm will be done to their relatives in Japan. One method used to get recruits for the secret army is to register" men of military age. Recently the Japanese consul General in Honos lulu sent Q notice to men of Jap. anese descent ordering them to register "fOr defeFnsent" under the Japanese draft law.
 The order warned that anyone failing to register would be pune lshed as 0 "violatoF of the (Ims peFial) conscriptiOn law"

 JOHN l.. LEWIS
 AND THE DEVIL N
 One of John L. Lewis greatest passions is dramatics. He loves to quote Shakespeare, Milton, and other famous masters.
 Declaimlng before the United Mine Workers Policy Committee during the captive mine negotia- tons, Lewis interlarded a blast at Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel with this excerpt from Mil- tons immortal Paradise Lost
 tWhence and what art thou, execrable shape, that darest, though grim and terrible, ad- vance thy niscreatcd front athwart my way to wonder gates? Through them ! mean Co pass, that be assured, with. 0ut leave askt of thee.".
 The quotation is from Book 2. line 68i, and thereafter. What Lewis didn't tell his listeners was that the shape" is Death; the "gates'' are those of Hell; and the speaker so enthusiastically quoted by John L. is-Satan. DEFENSE HITS CONGRESS
