&. Former Cong. Martin L. Sweeney
was spotlighted by Pearson and Al
len and this department many times
He sued Pearson in 10 States
and lost in them all He fin
ally dropped the case without a
penny in settlement Sweeney
vigorously denied having any link
with professional haterS Then,
a few days ago, he popped up again
to make a speech with familiar
rabble-rouSerS, who are notorious
for supporting many now awaiting
trial on government charges . ..
Sweeney addressed meeting in
Detroit led by a former Silver Shirt
chief, whose present outfit (before
which Sweeney Spoke) villified the
President, our allies and our mill
tary strategy.
Detroit is the heart of Americas
arsenal. 1t is also the center for
the plots of many dangerous per-
sons Human Swastikas crawl
through the city, melting all kinds
of trouble-mankey wrenches in the
war effort They have melted
riots and started strikes . . They
are remnants of the Black Legion
and other Axis armies One
of the outfits, named often in the
public prints and by authorities, is
the National Workers League L.
Its leaders finally drew indictments
). But many of the members still
spread their poison by grouping I'M
der different names. The three lead
ers of the National Workers League
were indicted over a year ago E.
Why is their trial delayed? -. +.
Why doesn't Mr.. Dies demand &C
ton on that one, too?
Have a slice of irony: Reviewing
the book, Passport TO Treason Gan
expose of enemies on the home
'front.', the Chicago Trib applauds:
"One of the most sensational de-
tectiye stories of our day. You II
learn many things about how close
some of Hitler's satanic plots have
come to success and some chilling
possibilities for sabotage that still
exist" That is the same gazette
which has tossed grenades at this
desk for reporting the same things.
The book confirms many OF our
firsts!
An avalanche of anti-labor propa-
ganda is rolling through Florida
and Tennessee. This propaganda
Is supported by various hate-spread-
ing organizations. But the outfit
behind the drive is the Constitu-
tional League This group has
been frequently exposed by this re-
porter :. The head of it is Joseph
P. Ramp, a professional rabble-
rouser, whose organization was
named by the Dept of Justice as
being mouthpiece for many indict-
ed seditionists-some of whom have
been convicted In spite OF
Ramps long association with them,
nothing has ever been done to stop
him e. Why?
1t was revealed that Senator R. r.
Reynolds of North Carolina praised
sheet supported by pro-Nazi Ger
aid Winrod, one of the "a waiting
trial on Government charges . +.
The praise by the Senator didn't
surprise us. He has always lauded
such people. Reynolds also in
serted into the Cong. Record the
propaganda of Domenico Trombetta,
now behind bars, charged with
being a dangerous alien enemy {.
When Trombetta was arrested Rey-
nolds was asked to delete his stuff
from the Record But he re-
fused.
A few days ago Rep. Howard J.
McMurray of Wisconsin inserted a
letter in the Cong. Record from
voter in Rep. LambertSon's Congress
sional District. The letter reveals
that, when Lambertson was asked
why he gave the Axis more support
and comfort than any other Kan
san, he confessed that he didn't
like our allies :. The letter further
states: mo, Mr.. Lambertson hasn't
any use for the Roosevelt boys, the
Russian boys, the English boys or
anyone else that's fighting the
Axis. BY the way, someone might
ask Mr.. Lambertson why his own
boy had time to take SIPS a week
working at Fort Riley last year, but
Is nowsticking close to the farm,
safe from the draft"
