extending the life Of the committee
Representative McMurray. Demo-
crat, OF Wisconsin charged that MIR.
Dies had been grossly unfair to Paul
r. Porter. chairman of the WPB
Shipbuilding Wage Sterilization
Committee. Mr.. Dies had listed Mr.
Porter as one of the Government
officials whom he deemed unfit be-
cause Of Socialist or Communist af
f1liations.
Quotes Nelson Recommendation.
When Mr.. Dies investigator
sought information about Mr.. Por-
ter from the WPB," Representative
McMurray said, "he asked only one
question-the size of his salary. 1
made inquiry about his character
and the value of his work. I asked
his boss, Donald Nelson. Mr.. Mel
son authorizes me to quote him as
follows:
"I consider Paul Porter to be an
outstanding public servant. I have
observed his work closely and in
timately. He is doing a first-rate
job in one of the most difficult DO
sitions Of the whole war effort"
The 302-to-94 roll-call vote bv
which the committee was continued
represented the largest recorded
protest against tie committee since
its creation. The largest number of
opposition votes cast previously was
46 last year, when the committee
won one-year continuance.
Opposition centered around a con-
tention that the committee has
given too much attention to it's
fight against Communism and Rus
sla and too little attention to Nazi
and Fascist elements in this country.
The Appropriation Subcommittee
meanwhile made preliminary prepa-
ratlons to sift the charges of Mr..
Dies that there are "crackpot bu-
reaucrats' in the Government serv-
Ice with Communistic sympathies.
Eight of the 80 listed by Mr.. Dies
are to be given the opportunity to
testify before the subcommittee
within the next week. Invitations
will be extended to the others later.
First OF the 80 to be asked to tes-
tlfy will be William Pickens, colored
official Of the Treasury Department.
whose salary the House removed
from the Treasury-Post Office ap-
preparation bill and later restored
after creation of the special in
Vestigating subcommittee.
Representative Kerr, Democrat.
OF North Carolina, who was selected
as chairman OF the subcommittee
issued a statement after the meet

trial to those accused by Mr.. Dies

long as we treat all countries alike"
The Minnesotan declared trade
reciprocity is lone of the fundanen-
tai principles of the Republican
Party" but he urged that it follow
the lines laid down by President
Mckinley, who advocated it's use to
open up new markets for American
products by concessions to the prod
ucts of other lands that this country
needs and cannot produce.
Other Proposed Amendments.
In addition to giving Congress a
veto power over the treaties, other
proposed amendments would pro-
vide.
That duties be not reduced on
competitive foreign products that
would bring them into the domestic
market at prices below the cost Of
production of similar products in
the United States.
That duties be not reduced on
competitive agricultural products
when the domestic price is below
parity.
That the concessions granted
should be extended only to such
non-treaty countries as do not dis
criminate against American i'm
ports.
That American producers be given
the right to litigate matters arising
out OF trade treaties.
That nothing in the trade agree
ment act be construed to authorize
modification of any law or regula-
ton for the protection of human,
animal or plant health and life.
Committee Rejects Changes.
A Democrat. Representative West
Of Texas, joined in supporting the
limitations on the law in commit
tee, but the amendments failed. On
the floor Of the House, however, the
result might easily be different, be-
cause of the close party division.
With one seat vacant there are 221
Democrats, 209 Republicans, two
Progressives, one Farm-Laborite
and one American Labor member.
If the Republican line holds fairly
solid it does not take many Demo-
cratic defections to change the re-
suit.
The reciprocal trade program was
enacted in 1884 and extended twice
in 1887 and 1910. 1t would expire
on June IL unless the pending bill
passes.
The minority argues in it's report
that the first extension was urged
in 1887 as means of contributing
to world peace, and that in 1910,
after the present yar had started,
further extension was advocated as
part Of the foundation of any
stable and durable peace"

Big Test Confronts
Trade Agreements
In House This Week
Mccormack Says COP
Faces Possible LubeI of
Postwar IsoIutionists
BY ]. A. OLEARY.

The two major parties prepared
last night for another important
test of strength in the House this
week over extension of the admin
stration's Reciprocal Trade Agree
ment Act.
On the eve of the battle, ajority
Leader Mccormack charged that If
most of the Republicans follow the
program of their members on the
Ways and Means Committee to place
limitations on the trade negotia-
tions, it will put postwar isolation
ism stamp on the COP.
Representative Knutson of Minne-
sofa, who filed the minority report
for the 10 Republican committee
members, promptly called this argu-
ment "untenable and asinine," de-
claring 1T will have no appeal to
intelligent people" ~
The fight is expected to center
around proposed amendment to
give Congress 90-day period in
which to pass on a trade treaty.
COP Position Assailed.
"The country might just as we'll
now, as later, realize and appreciate
the significance and meaning of the
minority report of the Republican
members of the Ways and Means
Committee" Mr. Mccormack said.
IF their position should prevail the
reciprocal trade agreement legisla-
tion is scrapped. The 10 Republican
members are unanimous in their
position.
1T is a position of political isola-
tionism and economic nationalism
If the majority of the Republican
members of the House follow their
leadership on this bill. the people
will know what the postwar policies
of the Republican Party Will be. The
minority report holds no hope for
the future other than the isola ton
ism of the past, with constant fear
of war hanging over the heads of
all OF us, and particularly the youth
of the next generation"
Mr.. Knutson asserted that the

sions to meet the threat there.
Undoubtedly the Nazi commander
regretted that decision today.
While the 1st and 9th Army tank
units, closely supported by infantry,
pushed their way through meager
opnosition to Tunis and then charged
O. W cut the German avenues of
Ii sat to Cap Bon, most of the Axis
t nks were battling another British
armored force we'll south of the
British path of advance in the
vicinity of Bir Meherga..
There appeared little doubt also
that the speed of the attack seri-
ously disrupted German plans for
an orderly withdrawal toward Cap
Bon and the beaches from which a
"Dunkirk' might be attempted.
For the first time in recent weeks
Allied air forces found plenty of
good targets on roads in the rapidly
dwindling Axis foothold in Africa.
Transports speeding eastward were
attacked throughout the day and
mission after mission landed to re-
port the destruction of vehicles.
In the words of staff officer, the
air support was terrific, indeed
more than we could have asked"
Increasing hundreds of prisoners
were being rounded up and herded
back to the rear as the British pur-
sued the fleeing foe.
From some of them came reports
that picked German reinforcements
had been flown to Tunisia from
Sicily as late as three days ago
ample evidence, in the view of OBJ
servers here, that the German COM
mand had slight warning of the
tremendous assault.

Nazi Tank Strength

Before Big Drive
Bulk of Germun Force
Had Been Shifted to
Defend Pont du Fuhs

WITH BRITISH FORCES ON
THE TUNISIAN FRONT, May g.
Taking advantage Of deception
which pulled the bulk of German
tanks in North Africa we'll out of
their path, British armored forces
slashed swiftly through Tunis and
today were chasing the retreating
enemy to his last refuge on the
African continent-Cap Bon Penin-
sula.
The deception succeeded better
than Allied commanders had dared
to hope.
Tunls was captured with astonish-
ing sWiftness and ease thanks to the
stratagem which left virtually all
that remained of two crack Nazi
armored divisions still concentrated
far south of the main point of the
British attack, awaiting what they
had obviously believed would be an
onslaught from another direction.
Took Logical Road.
The 1st Army, bolstered by sew
eral armored and infantry units
from Gen. Sir Bernard I. Mont
gonery's 9th Army, took the obvious
and logical road to Tunis-straight
down the broad, open valley from
Medjez-El-Bab.
For two weeks before starting the
march to the sea, powerful British
tank columns were working their
way forward from Bou Arada east
ward against Pont du Fahs. This
feint succeeded. The German COM
mander concentrated what remained
