Truman Group Probes
Cause Of Plane Crashes
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, April 27-Two mem
bers of the Senates Truman Com
mittee, here for conference on Boe-
ing aircraft production, said yester-
day the visit was part of a Nation
wide investigation into the possible
mechanical causes of military air
plane crashes.
Senators Wallgren, Democrat, of
Washington, and Kilgore, Democrat,
OF West Virginia. both refused in an
interview to elaborate on their
study of aircraft mechanics, but
they expressed the belief that the
Truman Committees report to the
Senate would contain some startling
disclosures.
Senator Wallgren declared the
committees sole interest in the War
Labor Boards wage directive for the
West Coast aircraft industry was
relative to its effect on production.
The Senator's visit conceded with
an assertion by Harold j. Gibson,
Aeronautical Mechanics Union
(AFL) president, in an interview,
that production in the Boeing
plants here had fallen off since the
Labor Board granted only a Az
cent hourly pay increase to new
Boeing workers last month. The

ing that removal Of the men would

efficiency and quality OF the es-
sential war activity carried on by

service"
The House committee approved a
subcommittee report charging that
the men criticized the capitalistic
and profit system and advocated its
overthrow, and held "a philosophy
Of government directly opposed to
our ideals and system Of govern
ment."
The subcommittee said it also had
investigated DR.. Frederick L. Schu-
man, another FEC employe, but had
not found Sufficient evidence to
support a recommendation of un-
fitness"
The FEC said that Commissioners
Case, Craven and Payne dissented
from the majority report.
The commission report said the
agency, under the law, may not
employ or continue in employment
any person who has a membership
in any political party or organiza-
ton which advocates the overthrow
OF our constitutional form of gov
eminent"
No Reason Seen for Dismissal.
1t asserted that nowhere does
the subcommittee report charge that
these employees have membership in
any political party or organization F"
advocating overthrow of the Gov
eminent nor does it "set forth any
other reason in law, in fairness, or
arising out Of the exigencies of the
present war for the dismissal Of
these employees at this time"
The House subcommittee said DR..
Watson, in magazine articles, had
made "unfavorable comparisons be-
tween other governments and our
Government, and, in other articles,
he criticized our capitalistic and
profit system and advocated its
overthrow" OF DR.. Dodd, it said,
His own direct testimony of be-
longing to front organizations to-
gether with other facts testified to
by him convince the commit
tee that his philosophy of govern
ment is directly opposed to our
ideals and system of government"
The FEC report said that "all
three, by reason of their close con-
tact and exhaustive study of world
affairs, perceived earlier than many
OF their countrymen the rising men,
ace of the Nazis, Fascists and jap
anese. Spurred on by this insight,
they sought by speech, by writing
and by cooperation with others
working toward similar ends, to
awaken their countrymen to the
peril which became manifest to all
Americans at Pearl Harbor. We do
not, of course, indorse every word
these men may have uttered or
every action they have taken, but
we believe that the right of free
dom of speech which the Constitu-
ton guarantees to every person
embraces even those with whom we
disagree"

that the presiding bishop of the
church be relieved of his diocesan
Jurisdiction, that his headquar-

Political Throot-Cuttinq
And Disporoeement Of
Leadership AssoiIed
By GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia yesterday called for a ces-
sation of political name-calling,
throat-cutting and "disparage-
ment of the President" The
American people, he said, should
bend every energy to get on with
a victorious war.
The Virginian, who has been a
leading figure in the Democratic
party for years. urged all the peo-
pie to back the Commander in
Chief of Americas armed forces.
Three years ago Senator Glass
placed former Postmaster General
Farley in nomination for the presi-
dency at the Democratic National
Convention in opposition to third
term nomination for President
Roosevelt.
I'm America" Senator Glass said,
"the discussion of politics is under
stood, but it is not in the rest of
the world. Name calling, attempted
political throat cutting and dis
paragement of the President of the
United States is deplorable.
Wants Prestige Preserved.
The prestige of the American
people, so vital in its dealings with
other nations IN this critical hour,
should not be cheapened by petty
partisan politics"
Presumably Senator Glass was
addressing himself to anti-New Deal
Democrats as we'll as to Republicans.
He has fought the New Deal
himself on numerous occasions
when he felt its policies were
wrong.
The conventions are year

The election itself is Is months

ing three letters in invisible ink
transmitting information to the

said. The alleged acts occurred
prior to our entrance into the war
and while Lanas was a resident Of
New York City.
Lanas roomed at a home in the
3l00 block of Porter street NV. and
has been in Washington for about
year and a half.
The South American frequently
had received large sums of money
from sources in Lisbon, Portugal,
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover said.

cessfully to recruit an attractive
New York model as an agent for
Nazi Germany at salary of $3.50
month.
Plan Falls Through.
He had even given her demon
strations in the use of secret inks
and in the development of invisible
writing the department announce

her to deliver letters and dis
