Berlin radio propaganda fumed today over the United States State Department White Paper demon strating the war guilt of the Axis and revealed that enough of 1t had already reached the German people to force a concentration of domestic propaganda upon refuta- ton.

D|ES' REPORT
 ATTACKS F.B,I,
Only 6Ol of LIZA Cases of
 Subversive Activities In- vestigated Is Charge

Washington, Jan. 4.-CUP)- Chairman Martin Dies, D., Texas, of the House Committee on un-Ameri- can Activities was accused today by one of his own committee mem bers of issuing a one-man final" report that neglected the oppor- tunity to strike a blow at pro-Axis propaganda.
 The Dies report sharply cri- ticized the Justice Department. It asserted that the committee had sent the department 1,124 indi- vidual cases of alleged subversive affiliations of federal workers, but that only 601 cases had been inves- tigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 Denunciation of Dies methods came from Rep. Jerry Voorhis, D., Calif., who said that Dies had pre- pared much of the paper and had presented 1t to other members on a "take 1t or leave it" basis.
 q feel very profoundly that the main excuse for this committeei existence at the present time is that it may contribute to the maximum, possible exent to the stiffening oi the resistance of the American people to open or covert pro-AXi' propaganda and to the building oi vigorous and unified Democratic sentiment in the United States, Voorhis said. Its annual repor afforded an opportunity to strik' blow in that direction. That op portunity has been neglected.
 "In particular, sections charging J government officials and worker with alleged Communist affihatior were not the result of committe' i action but only individual actiol taken by the chairman.
 There has been no opportunit. for discussion or amendment of thu report or for members to do an. work on 1t. No meeting has beer held for its consideration.
 The report accused the Justice Department of failing to "carry out the mandate of Congress" in elim- mating elements in the federal serv- ice,

 RUSSIAN WAR PART
 OF THE SCHEDULE
 The first weeks of the Russian war were received with no little en- thusiasm by the German people, for their visions were bathed in the light of the schedule. The pros- pect of an undefeated Britain, strengthened constantly by increas- ing production and export of Amer ican arms, blockading a military superior but continentally ham, strung Germany to slow death had been plaguing Germany since the failure of Goering's blitz terrorr against England. Now. the pros- pect was better, much better. A few hard, swift blows at Russia, who it was common knowledge, was tottering with revolution already, would induce civil disorders in towns behind the Russian lines. If this did not result in the overthrow of the government, at least the dis orders would hamstring Russian de- fense and the Whrmacht would march through the steppes as cas- fly as they had marched down Un- ter den Linden, This was the dominant conception; heard 1t ex- pressed this way dozens of times One of the most intelligent and weil-lnformed Germans know made Q bet with me at the begin- ming Of the campaign that Ger man troops would occupy Moscow within two weeksl
