Parmelee's Name on Lid.
Prominent on the list us the
name Of Maurice Parmelet who,
several months ago, while h EN-
ploye OF the BEW, figured promi-
nently In the news after to Dies
Committee gave publicity toa book
bearing Mr.. Parmelee's mare and
entitled 'Nudism In Moderi Life, !.
Mr.. Dies told the House tint al
though Mr.. Parmelee had ben dis
missed BY the BEW. he hi since
been employed by the Railrud Re-
ttrement Board.
Almost year ago." Mr.. hes re-
called, Il addressed q letter 10 the
Vice President calling his attntion
to the record OF Parmelee Vi vas
at that time employed in the Board
OF Economic warfare at = salry 81
$500.
Il cited the fact" Mr.. Die, con-
tinued, that Parmelee had witten
numerous volumes-all Of then rev.
dictionary In character-andI that
one OF them entitled "Nudisa In
Modern Life" advocated the vac
tice Of universal nudism in 1nce
and factory. I called the Vice Pesi-
dents attention to the fact hat
Parmeke's book contained IS plsto,d
graphs. al of which were obscene!
and that tn volume was an atatk
upon the mCfal structure OF oui 90
ciety and uDton the church and re-
ligion.
almost Immediately after ~ ex-
posture Of Parmelee's activities
which included several years spent
IN European nudist camps-h was
dismissed from the Board Of Eco
nomic Warfare. The great bureau
cratic fraternity was, however not
70 leave Parmelee jobless for long.
He Is now employed as an ecorirnist

Repetitions CHARGED.
AT this point Mr.. Dies charsed.
Time and time again, Z xnilar
thing has occurred: A bureA,,crat
exposed In one agency and filed As
. result OF that exposure has been
picked up by another agency Il the
Government. The contempt which
these bureaucrats have for the Con-
gress which appropriates their SAL
aries is unbounded."
At one point, moving away from
Government employees, Mr.. Dies
asked. What was the reason Mar.
shall Field (owner OF the New York
newspaper PM and the CHICAGO
Sum would contribute large sums OF
money to known Communist .oreani-
Eations?"
Here is man who by his great
wealth he said, lis financing pub.
locations and organizations tina,
attack not one member, not five
members, but the majority of the
members of this House as secret
sympathizers and agents of on,
enemies"
Also coming In for . large share
Of criticism from Mr.. Dies was the
New Republic magazine, which Ne
charged had played with the
coalition Of anti-parliamentarians -
1T will be recalled" Mr.. Dies said
that the vicious document known
Is "A Congress to Win the War was
published as . supplement to the
New Republic on May 10, 1915. The
Union for Democratic Action and
the New Republic claimed Joint re-
sponsibility for this document"
Foreign Ownership Claimed.
After discussing the various edi-
tors of the New Republic, M. Dies
went on to say that the masthead
Of the magazine gave the p0blish-
er's name As Editorial Publications,
which, he said, had all its capital
stock owned by 4 foreign. cor
poration."
The capital stock OF Editorial
Publications is listed with the Sec
rotary OF State OF New York rs
N,750,000. but not one cent of
that stock Is held in the United
States" he added.
While Mr.. Dies was attacking the
New Republic, he brought in the
name of Rexford Guy Tugwell. who,
he said. had been a contributing
editor OF the publication for many
years.
The outstanding feature Of Tug
wells administration Governor Of
Puerto Rico has been a complete
and undisguised contempt for the
legislative branch of the Puerto
Rican Government" Mr.. Dies said.
While holding his important post
IN our overseas island possession,
Tugweu has maintained his of1lcial
connection with the New Republic,
ana his name appears on the mast
head OF the very issue In which the
vicious assault upon members Of this
House was made last May"
