Rogers Assoi|s Dies Speech;

Representative Will Rogers. Dem
ocrat, OF California. expressing a
! disagreement with Representative
Dies, Democrat, of Texas, told the
House today he objected to use of
this great forum as a means of what
We in Hollywood would call personal
| publicity"
/ Mr.. Rogers made his first con-
gressional speech just after Mr..
Dies had finished 4 two-hour ad-
dress IN which he proposed that
Congress force Communists" and
"crackpots" out of Government Jobs
b. refusing appropriations to vari-
ous agencies until they rid them
selves OF these people"
Mr. Dies brought heavy applause
at several points. As he concluded.
Mr.. Rogers, son Of the famous
humorist, arose and said:
Il should like it to be known that
I disagree with the sentiments ex-
pressed, the f1amboyant manner OF
expression used and the use OF this
great forum as a means OF what We
In Hollywood would call personal
publicity
Mr. Dies, who for several years
headed the House Committee on
Un-American Activities, charged in
his speech that "weI-organized
conspiracy" with devotees among
well-paid Government employees OF
un-American views, was seeking to
smear Congress and discredit its
members

gallery. causing Speaker Rayburn
TO warn Of clearing the spectators

women left the gallery.

Guild mentioning his name.
At one point Mr. Dies asserted
Maurice Parmelee, whom he identi-
fed as the author OF "Nudism in
Modern Life" was dismissed by the
Board Of Economic Warfare. but
had been re-employed by the Rail-
road Retirement Board
Almost year ago. I addressed
a letter to the Vice President calling
his attention to the record Of Par
melee, who was at that time en-
ployed In the Board Of Economic
Warfare At 4 salary Of $500" Mr..
Dies said. Il cited the fact that
Parmelee had written numerous vol
umes-all Of them revolutionary In
chAracter-and that one Of them
entitled 'Nudism in Modern Life
advocated the practice Of universal
nudism In ONCE and factory. I
called the Vice Presidents attention
to the fact that Parmelees book
contained IS photographs all OF
which are obscene. and that the
volume was an attack upon the
moral structure Of our society and
upon the church and religion.
Almost Immediately after nv ex-
posure Of Parmelees activities-
which included several years spent
IN European nudist camps-he was
dismissed from the Board OF Eco
nomic Warfare. The great bureau
cratic fraternity was. however, not
to leave Parmelee iobleas for long.
He is now employed as an economist
by the Railroad Retirement Board at
a salary Of $4,000.
Time and again a similar thing
has occurred. The contempt which
these bureaucrats have for the Con-
gress which appropriates their sala-
ries Is unbounded."

ST. Louis Converts
Laundry Trucks Into
Disaster AmbuIanceS
Operation Facilities
As Well as Stretchers
Provided for Emergencies
b rhe Associated Press

b The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS.-Guy Mullen went
to see his laundryman-about an
ambulance.
As result ST Louis Committee
for Civilian Defense now has feet
OF laundry trucks equipped for con-
version into emergency ambulances
capable Of carrying stretchers sus-
pended from crossbars inside the
vehicles
And while the laundry people
were busy on their end of the
scheme Mr. Mullen, who is no slouch
himself with carpenters tools, came
up with something probably more
ngenlous-riders' benches for the
trucks that can be converted quickly
into operating tables or embalm-
Ing slabs.
These could be useful in case OF
call for an emergency operation
IN a basement or A dugout where
regular operating tables could not
be used.
Ambulance Shortage Found.
Both developments are described
In the Military Surgeon, oficial
publication OF the Association OF
Military Surgeons of the United
States.
When ST Louis Defense Com
mlttee was organized survey
showed only small number of
regular ambulances available. Sta
t1on wagons first were considered
AA possible substitutes, but it WAS
found they were too short to admit
the 90-inch stretchers now In use
and their carrying capacity was
limited to cases placed on the floor.
Mr.. Mullen. director of the am
bulance service. saw possibilities In
closed, light trucks, such as ones
used by laundry and cleaning COM
panies.
Under his direction, crossbars OF
iron pipe were arranged inside the
trucks IN such way that four
stretchers-two on each side OF the
'nterior-could be suspended from
the crossbars by means Of straps.
Two more stretchers can be placed
on the floor. When not in use, the
stretchers would be rolled and car
rled in one OF Mr.. Mullen's multi
purpose bench gadgets, which can be
made for 81 apiece.
Table Made In Jiffy.
Consisting Of a cypress board sup
ported by two wooden uprishts II
inches in height, each bench will
.eat seven f1rst-aid workers in COM
fort. Each bench is long enough
10 Accommodate two 90-inch stretch
.rs rolled up and fastened beneath
the seat. Each bench also has two
Jockey boxes for flrst-aid equipment
Ind instruments.
The upright pieces have hinged .
extension foot, so the bench can be 7
heightened to table height by open /
ing the extensions. Two Of the
benches may be placed side by side
and hooked together, making table
In 4 jif1y.
Mr.. Mullen also has risged wooden
poles that can be placed in slots at
zach OF the four corners Of such a
table TO form a frame for a tent
ike covering. This would be used
to prevent contamination from above
during an emergency dressing In
IAe field.
