German Propaganda
Chart, Found on Nazi
Agent in u. s., Barred
Attorney General Reveals
Document Giving Details
Of Hitler's Setup

A chart giving in detail the rami-
ganda, which was found in the pos
session of a German agent in this
country, was made public late yes
terday by Attorney General Biddle.
The material, the Attorney Cen
eral said illustrated the desirability
of co-ordinating efforts in the
United States for uncovering for
eign-sponsored operations in line
with pending legislation that would
transfer administration of the For
eign Agents Registration Act from
the State Department to the Justice
Department where it could be con-
solidated with enforcement of the
Voorhis Act requiring registration
Of organizations advocating over
throw of this or other governments.
Spying Data Given.
The so-called foreign organiza-
ton" of the Nazi government, out
lined in the chart, the Attorney
General said, in addition to its ordi-
nary propaganda operations, fur
nished some instructions with re-
spect to espionage, but did not deal
in sabotage. This Government. he
added, was aware of its existence
before seizure of the chart, whose
exact origin he declined to reveal.
There are no known agents of the
organization in this country now,
according to Mr.. Biddle.
The chart was taken from the
Organization Manual of the Ma
tional Socialist Workers Party"
published in Munich. The ma
Chinery is headed by Hitler deputy
and is shown to have four European
divisions and others in North Amer
ica. Latin America. Africa, Australia
and the Far East. In these there
are subdivisions dealing with differ
ent phases of propaganda work.
Control Is Centralized.
One paragraph of the manual dis
closes the centralized control over
the organization,
All communications between
party Offices and the organiza tions
of the National-Soclalist German
Workers Party abroad and in navi-
cation must without exception be
conducted under the direction of the
foreign organization it says The
organizations affiliated with the
party, which seek to include Ger
mans abroad in their activities. may
do this only within the framework
of the foreign organization"
Mr.. Biddle said there are 900
groups affiliated with the central
organization.
