Dies Says New F. c. c. Analyst
Is Communist Propugundist

Charges that Dr.. Goodwin Wat
son. recently appointed chief broad
cast analyst of the Federal Com
nunications Commission at $500
year, has been "a propagandist for
Communism and the Soviet Union
for many. years were made to-
day by Chairman Dies of the House
Committee OH Un-American Actlv-
tiles.
The charges were contained in a
letter which Representative Dies
wrote to Chairman James L. Fly,
chairman of the commission, and
read on the House floor today. Mr.
Dies said:
Il am deeply concerned over this
appointment. as it clearly bears out
an observation which l have had
occasion to make to the President in
recent weeks. namely. that there
Is new influx of Communists and
fellow travellers into official Wash
ington'
Representative Dies pointed out
Mr.. Watson has publicly associated
himself with 13 alleged Communist
front organizations, which he said
makes it impossible to account for
these connections on the ground "of
his having been a dupe of the Com
munist party
Representative Dies further de-
clared that Mr. Watsons duties
would include analyzing broadcasts
from foreign countries to determine
the probable trend of the war, the
internal morale and conditions of
foreign nations, their objectives and
their probable political, economic
and military action.
We are not concerned solely with
the case Of Watson as an individ-

Soldiers armed with rifles and

The problem of ridding official
Washington of the hundreds of
Communists and fellow travellers
who now occupy Government posts

the root of the matter, namely, this
prevailing influence which continues
to bring such men as Watson to

scientific expedition, headed by a
woman explorer, to the Arctic.
Miss Louise A. Boyd, veteran of
several trips to the east coast of
Greenland, is leading the expedi-

battle-ground of the North Atlantic.
The schooner, bearing a crew of
about a dozen, was scheduled to

Miss Boyd is a consulting expert,

protest with the State Department
yesterday for transmission to Italy
against what it called the bombing
of open cities by Italian warplanes.
A formal note was delivered by
the Egyptian Minister, Mahmoud
Hassan Bey, to Undersecretary OF
State Sumner Welles.
The United States represents
Egypt's interests in Italy because
Egypt and italy do not maintain
diplomatic relations.
The note was reported to have
special reference to Axis bombing
of Alexandria, important British
naval base in the Mediterranean.
1t was understood that Egypt
probably would protest also to Ger
