Dies Committee Agent
Seizes Bookshop's
Membership LIST
Box Token After ScuffIe
With Woman Official Of
Cooperative League

After a scuffle with Mrs. Charles
w. Putnam, president of the District
of Columbia Cooperative League,
a Dies Committee investigator last
night gained possession of list of
1,200 members of the Bookshop, a
cooperative store at 916 Seven
teenth street NV.
Shortly afterward, Representative
Dies of Texas, committee chairman,
issued a statement saying the list
would show "a number of Govern
ment officials and employees" were
active in local Communist front or
CARNATIONS.
The seizure, according to Robert
E. STRIPPING, committee secretary,
was the opening gun for public hear
ings beginning at 10 am. Wednes-
day, when he said the Bookshop
the local unit of the American
Peace Mobilization and three other
Washington organizations will be
shown to adhere to the Communist
party line.
Grapples With Agent.
Mrs. Putnam, feet in height,
grappled with the Dies agent, Rob-
ert Barker, shortly after pm. yes
terday on the steps of the leagues
office She declared that she was
escaping with the records with Mr..
Barker in pursuit, and that he
twice as big as I am"-forcibly
took them.
The Committee on Un-American
Activities had different story.
Secretary STRIPPING declared that
Investigator Barker went to league
headquarters after having previous
ly established that David Mccall
mont, general counsel, had possess
sion of the Bookshop list. He bore
with him a subpoena for Mr.. Nc
Calmont to appear with the list, he
stated, but the attorney said he had
a dinner appointment and asked the
investigator to take the list with
him at once. Mr.. Barker was leav-
ing with the cardboard box contain
ing the names when Mrs Putnam ar
rived on the scene and attempted
to take them away, Mr.. STRIPPING
said.
List of Speakers Cited.
A denial that the Bookshop has
followed any party line came today
from Jules Hanover, executive sec
retary of the shop, offering as evi-
dence a list of speakers sponsored as
the organizations cultural" contri-
button during its two and a half
years of existence.
Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt headed
his list, with others including Sher-
wood Anderson, Erskine Caldwell,
Langston Hughes, w. H. Auden and
Rockwell Kent.
AS evidence that the Bookshop's
literary interest is centered
elsewhere than on Communism, Mr..
Yanover pointed out that its last
public event was a performance of
"boogie- -woogie" music in the Jewish
Community Center.
He expressed doubt that the Dies

AS for Mr.. Roosevelts comment

questions about the German procla-
nation that Nazi activity might be

today's informants said: "Compari-

Correspondents were warned. at the

Revised Yardstick
Urged 10 Free Parity
From Dead Past
1o3l-l940 Base Period
And Consideration of City
Peoples Wages Favored
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
CHICAGO, Nov 1-Charging
that the farmers standard of living
Charles w. Holman. chairman Of
the National Parity Committee. to-
day suggested a revised yardstick
for determining parity prices.
Mr.. Holman advocated, first, that
wages of city people should be con-
sidered rs vital factor in preparing
the parity index of prices. also, Sec
ond, that prices paid during the last
10 years should be used as base
figures instead of the 19l0-l9
prices now used.
The Holman proposal was the re-
suit of a study started more than
a month ago by the committee.
which Wes authorized to take the
multitude of new proposals for COM
putting parity which had sWamped
the Senate Committee on Agrlcul-
ture and work them into an accept
able plan.
The Parity Committee is civilian
group formed at meeting of State
officials end farm leaders and spon-
sored by Senator Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, chairman of Sub
committee of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture.
The present method permits the
farmer to sell his bushel of wheat
and buy with the proceeds the same
amount of goods that he could buy
with a bushel of wheat 80 years
ago. but no more.
On the other hand the average
city man can work an hour today
and with the proceeds can buy the
same amount Of goods that he could
in l9l0-l9l4 and have enough left
over to buy additional quantities of
luXuries and conveniences. ."
Another fault of present parity
computation methods, Mr.. Holman
cOntended was that they freeze price
relationships between commodities
at the 1904 level.
For this reason, Mr.. Holman
urged undermining of the base pc
riod, suggesting l93l-40 primarily
because they constituted the latest
10year period.
Mr.. Holman gave the following
comparisons OF parity prices, as of
October /, between the present
method of computation and the
recommended method:
