Fued with Dies

WASHINGTON, Jan. up
Chairman Martin Dies, Democrat,
Texas, of the house committee on
American activities was accused
today by one of his own commit
tee members of issuing a one-man
final" report that neglected the
opportunity to strike a blow at pro-
Axis propaganda.
The Dies report sharply criti-
cized the Justice Department. 1t
asserted that the committee had
sent the department 1924 individual
cases of alleged subyersive affilia-
tionS of federal workers, but that
only Col cases had been investi-
gated by the Federal Bureau of In
veStigation.
Denunciation of Dies methods
came from Representative Jerry
Voorhis. Democrat. California, who
said that Dies had prepared much
of the paper and had presented it
to other members CT 9 take it or
leave it" basis.
VOORHIS VIET.
ASSi NCly iloiouiibiy uiioV biiN
main excuse for this committee S
existence at the present time is
that it may contribute to the max
imum possible extent to the stiff
fleming of the resistance of the
American people to open or covert
pro-AXis propaganda and to the
building of a vigorous and unified
democratic sentiment in the Unit
ed States" Voorhis said. Its an
nual report afforded an opportunity
to strike a blow in that direction.
That opportunity has been neg
lected.
In particular, sections chare-
ing government officials and work
ers with alleged Communist affilia-
ton. we're not the result of COM
mittee action but only individual
action taken by the chairman.
There has been no opportunity
for discussion or amendment of
the report or for members to do
any work on it. No meeting has
been held for its consideration"
REPORTS CHARGES
The report accused the Justice
Department of failing to carry
out the mandate of Congress" in
subversive elements in
the federal service.
Voorhis said the report was in
accurate in stating that member

groups had been obtained by sub
pena and identified by officials of
organizations involved. In one. in
stance the list was nothing more
nor less than a mailing list he
said.
Reviewing the committees inves-
tigation of anti-American activities
among Japanese residents of the
west coast, the report said that "a
direct result of the committees re-
port on japanese srbversive &C
tivities in this country was the re-
moval of the Japanese population
from vital west coast areas
That statement was characterized
as "extravagant" by Voorhis. THE
committee report could accurately
have been described as one among
many factors which brought about
Japanese relocation, he said,

CONTROL SPREADS

CONTROL SPREADS
Since October, it was SAID rent
control has been spread to 1856
areas with a population in excess
of 100000
Principal points made by Por-
ter's report included:
Registration of rental properties
required of landlords has been
highly successful Only 80 per
cent of all property registered have
maximum rent other than the
freeze date rent. This is accounted
for generally by Improvements in
rental Units.
During the typical" month OF
October. 60,403 petitions for rent
adjustments were filed by land
lords. OF these. 10000 were grant
ed in whole or in part. and the re-
meining 48.403 were denied.
The average dollar amount OF the
adjustments requested by landlords
was a 1924 increase in monthly
rents. The average amount grant,
ed by area rent offices was S5.l5.
In most urban and industrial
areas the pressure of wartime de-
mand for housing has pushed &C.
cupancy to levels unprecedented III

Summer Hint
Offered for
Householder

CHICAGO, Jan. g. R If
you have any of those large
beach umbrellas, outdoor loung-
ing chairs or other pieces of
summer furniture, you better
hang onto them as long as you
possibly can.
This was the advice given to-
day by spokesman at the Nation
al Furniture and Home Furnish
ings Market who said prospect
i've buyers Of new summer furni-
ture would be disappointed
when they seek new articles.
The reason is because outdoor
furniture manufactures who de-
pend largely upon metal, are
working on material for the
armed forces. Metal for furni-
ture is not available because OF
war demands.
Exhibitors of outdoor furni-
ture are maintaining spaces at
the market but for the most part
they are empty. In place Of ex-
hibits there are such signs as
this one:
Nothing to sell-just come in
and relax"

Women Urged
TO Train Well
for Heirbbs

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. g.
P)-Women rushing into war
jobs were advised last night by
E. d. Brown. employment man.
ager of the Ford Willow Run
Bomber plant, ito prepare well
for your jobs now, because af-
ter the war only the fittest wom-
en- will survive in their posi-
tons"
A second speaker at Univer-
sity of Michigan's employment
conference, Mrs. Florence V.
Weeman of the Michigan Bell
Telephone Co, repeated Browns
warning about the change to
come after the war, and advised
continue your careers in col
lege as long as possible, young
women. because this background
is going to be extremely import
ant when this war ends"
Brown said the bomber plant
officials had found it necessary
to combat a female "timidness
toward tools" and that because
of this trait lit takes longer to
train a girl than man"
Brown said that approximate
ly 80 percent of total employ
ment at the plant today is COM
posed of women and that by
July lit will be closer TO SO per-
cent"
When the plant was built 1t
was planned for Is percent
women employment, with some
departments in which there
would be no women. Today
there are some women in every
department and he female
population is far over our esti-
mates"
Certain departments, Brown
said, are composed exclusively
of women-department clerks,
general clerical workers, time
checkers, ledger clerks, stock
clerks, file clerks and others.
