FBI' Clean Bill
For Red Suspects

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4 tINS).
Determined to have a showdown
with subversive groups, Rep. Mar
tin Dies Cd of Texas. chairman
of the House committee investi-
eating un-American activities. to-
day directed committee agents TO
prepare a hist for submission to
Congress containing the names OF
approximately 80 government
officials" who are or have been
members of so-called front" or
CARNATIONS.
His decision followed dispatch
of a letter to Speaker OF the
House Rayburn In which Dies
urged Congress to reject q report
filed earlier this week by Biddle
in which the attorney general as
serted that out of 1,12l cases
turned over to the justice depart
ment by the Dies committee.
subsequent inquiry by the FBI
had resulted in only two govern
) ment employees being dismissed.
CALLS PROBE FAILURE
In his letter to Rayburn. Dies
charged that Biddle had failed
utterly 10 fill the mandate given
the department of justice" by
Congress when IL passed law
directing the attorney general to
act.
The Texan pointed out that the
justice department had opposed
an act Of law and added that in
view of this opposition. 1t Is not
strange that nothing but an at
tempt to smear our committee has
resulted from the departments
expenditure of 100000. which the
attorney generals investigation
cost"
Contending that actually the
FBI had made no recommendation,
but had left any punitive action
up to the various departmental
heads In which the accused en-
ployes worked, Dies charged that
gigantic ruse" had been en-
ployed 10 force" guilty persons
TO resign voluntarily,
FAILURE TO ACT
The Texan also argued that ac-
cording to Biddle's report depart
mental heads had failed to act on
sol cases, and Dies. In his letter
10 Rayburn, asserted:
81 am prepared TO charge and
prove beyond any doubt that In
substantially all Of the Sol cases
the employees were affiliated
with subversivc organizations"
Associates of Dies asserted that
the first step that will be taken
will be the submission of a list to
Congress completely identifying
so of the more prominent officials
in the government who have had
indisputable affiliations with
known front organizations for SUBJ
versive groups

Dear Editor:
The fuel situation IL more SER

Coordinator Is doing his best to
make US understand It. The pipe
line Is the only solution.
In IS much as 1t affects nearly
everyone along the Atlantic sea-
board in general and the New

wouldn't 1t be q good idea to ask
every man, woman and child to
contribute some good scrap steel

that the government would not
have to divert any Of its present
stock needed for the war effort.
know there isn't a house any,
where that can't produce a piece
OF the precious metal, from q

man woman or child would be
happy to give 1t, appreciate the
fact that 1t would help to keep
them warm next winter, not to
mention the possibility that 1t
may increase their allotment of
gasoline at least for a short ride
in the family joloppy once In a

I believe It can be done.
If the press, the radio and other
mediums gave the idea sufficient
prominence this serious problem
could be solved within q week,
and the undying gratitude Of the
public and sincere appreciation
Of the government would be their
compensation, plus the Satisfac-

Why not start the ball rolling

RUSSIA IN CONN.
SOviets Are Getting RUB
Der From Them to Help
Out Their Shortage

New Haven, Conn.,, May 22-(Up)
Russian dandelions, from which
the Soviets obtain rubber to help
overcome curtailed supplies from
the customary markets, are being
grown In Connecticut and other
northern states as an experiment,
it was announced today by DR.. D.
F. Jones Of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural experiment station.
DR.. Jones, head Of the plant
breeding department, said that 100
pounds of the seed had been dis
patched to this country from Rus
STA by plane, and distributed to 20
experiment stations. A half-pound
of seed was assigned to this state,
and has been planted at Mt. Car
mel, Windsor and other locations
The rubber, he said, was obtained
from the top root after 1t was dug
in the fall, dried and ground to
q powder. The dandelion natures
in a single season, and Russia was
said to have more than 10000
acres under cultivation.
DR.. Jones said a Photographic
record would be kept Of the seed
growth in this country and when
the crop was harvested, the roots
would be sent to the bureau Of plant
industry at Washington for chem
ical tests of their rubber content
The yield in this country was not
expected to be high, but Or. Jones
said that should the experiment
succeed, the dandelion may fur
nish q worthwhile emergency source

tailment Of the East Indies supply

Red Cross Discourages
Gifts To Instructors

To eliminate any misunder-
standing the public may have re-
garding the status OF Red Cross
first aid instructors the local Red
Cross Chapters office today issued
q regulation asking first aid stu
dents not to take up collections for
instructors. Numerous classes con-
Quoted throughout the city have
presented gifts or purses to in
structors at the close Of the courses,
and 1t has been revealed that num-
erouS false rulnorS and accusations
have resulted as a result Of that
practice. A statement was issued
by the local Red Cross Chapter
today defining the status Of in
structors and outlining the new
regulation. It reads as follows:
mo First Aid Instructor work
ing under the Waterbury Chapter,
American Red Cross, is or has ever
received pay for such services. They
have entirely volunteered their serv-
ices and at no time have they had
any thought of seeking remunera-
ton for the same. While 1t is
known classes have presented in
structors with gifts as token of
appreciation, such gesture while
innoncent in every way, Is against
Red Cross policy and should be dis
couraged in every instance.
Therefore as a precaution against
any further misunderstanding
classes are asked to refrain from
collections for the instructors
Glasses Of instruction In many Rec
Gross services are open to any who
wish to avail themselves Of the
opportunity offered and in no way
should students feel obligated fol-
the knowledge received"

New York and New Jersey
Affected; Connecticut

composed Of those with minor or

In making known the change Of
policy, Col. Arthur v. McDermott,
Selective Service director for New
York, said:
"A man who has only one eye,
or two or three fingers missing, or
a slight limp can pull a trigger on
a gun as well as anyone else"
In Waterbury the Selective Ser
vice boards have sent up for

classified as lib, but only after the
men had been rec1assified into la
The Reconsideration process, which
also affects men in ga, the CLASH
fication Of those with dependents,
Is still going on.
Induction Of lib men will be
conducted first on an experimental
basis. If the men prove satisfactory
to army authorities, 1t will be
steadily extended until the proper
ton Of 1-B men to LA is relatively
large.
Though Col. McDer1nott believes
that the lib inductees will be as
signed to combat units, other
authorities hold that they will be
assigned to non-combat duty in
stead. These authorities contend
that men with minor defects can be
used to replace able-bodied soldiers
now on desk or kitchen duty and
that the latter can be freed for
combat duty. .
From today on, New York will
allow lib men to volunteer for
service the number Of volun-
teers is expected to be large enough
to fill the June quota. The first
LIB men are slated for induction
June 8.
summoning OF 1-B men for in
duction would affect hundreds OF
