Brown Denies
ParIeys
With JAW

Merger With Either
JAW or UNIV

WASHINGTON (FP)-Reports
current here that President Harvey
Brown Of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists (AFL) was
holding parleys on possible ANAL
gamation with each of two big
unions, the United Auto Workers
(CIO) and the United Mine Work
ers (unaffiliated) were secuted by
Brown on his return April 8.
A ballot on proposed withdrawal
from the AFL is being held among
the lam members this month.
Brown, who has been in San Fran
cisco on National War Labor
Board case, denied that he had
talked with ce-President Richard
Frankensteen of the UAW while
there.
Statements Are Conflicting
Frankensteen, who also returned
to Washington from San Francisco,
could not be reached. From
source reputedly close to him, how
ever, came the conflicting state
ment that Frankensteen had con-
ferred with Brown.
Asked if he seen or contemplated
seeing President John L. Lewis of
the UNIV, Brown told FP, That's
another falsehood and l haven't
been back long enough even to
hear that rumor."
Brown declared such reports
were malicious lies spread to con-
fuse and create prejudice in the
minds of the members" while the
ballot was being cast. If the lam
withdraws from the AFL, he said,
it only will be to remain indepen-
dent.

THE Dies Committee has been
given another extension and
one true, but unacknowledged
reason why the House did this
was that most OF the members
realize that Martin Dies, clumsy
though he certainly is, and nom
judicial and a collector Of some
spiteful gossip and irrelevant
stuff along with his authentic
information, has had to submit
TO a brutal program of abuse for
more than four years from some
of the most obnoxious personali-
ties of the time. most of whom
themselves delight to employ
the smear as a political weapon.
The real Communist, the fur
tive fellow-travelers and the
pinks, the union racketeers and
all that element who were known
early in the New Deal as archi-
tects of the future, and the writ
ers who serve the left-wing
publications, have been on this
man without letup almost from
the day he set TO work to turn
up enemies of the American
form of government, in both
enemy columns, the Nazi-
Fascist and Communist.
EOR a brief time at the be-
l. ginning. he had their sup
port for he first investigated
the Nazis of the Bund and the
few self-important Italian politi-
cal padrones in this country
who had accepted cheap and
silly little badges from the
Duce and were throwing their
weight about the Italian settle
ments OF New York, Providence
and Philadelphia.
But. already. our government
had set its face against the
Nazi FascistS in instructive
preparation for the inevitable
war and the department Of
justice was on the job and the

tice and the smear was the
very method OF the first New
Deal campaign against Herbert
Hoover.
Moreover, only a few weeks
ago President Roosevelt, himself,
took shocking advantage of his
position TO present an Iron Cross
to a thoroughly loyal American
newspaper writer at a time when
the journalist was about to go
to trial with libel action
against a New Deal paper which
had questioned his Americanism.
THE hatred OF Dies and the
Il long campaign against him
are the defense of the COM
munists and the pro-Commun-
lists In and out of the govern
ment who know, as Congress
does that, although he may have
been wrong in some individual
cases, he has been right most OF
the time.
This Is not a Communist or a
pro- Communist Congress.
It has less tolerance for COM
munism and American COM
munists and those who synpa-
thize and cooperate with them
than any other Congress since
the New Deal began and IL is
far to the right of the admins
tration.
The other congressman know
what Dies has been through and
the vote to continue his COM
mittee, which is practically a
one-man show now, is both
vote of sympathy for him and
an expression of dissent from
the administrations tolerance of
anti-American sentiment rang
ing in degree from the fierce
hostility of the avowed party
member to the poisonous despair
of those who think the American
way Is outmoded and never was
much good.

all this talent engaged and
