cations, are Communists them

Using names. MI. Dies in his
Monday speech in the House
listed SO important executives In
different departments Of the
Government, asserting that they
all had had connection with
Communist organizations. Some
of these ofilcials, he said, had
been eased out of other Govern
ment omces after attention had
been called to their activities by
the committee, only to find their
way to other positions of trust
in other Federal agencies. He
charged that David j. Saposs,
for example, was ousted from q
position with the National Labor
Relations Board because the
committee had exposed his COM
munistic afliliations, and that
now he has been given position
at $1,000 a year as assistant to
the chief of the labor division Of
the War Production Board.
Among others whom Mr.. Dies
charged with Communist afIilia-
tions and sympathies are Freder-

analyst of the Federal Commune

son, chief broadcast analyst for
the same commission; Paul r.
Porter. chief Of the shipbuilding

What will come out Of these
latest charges made by Chairman
Dies remains to be seen. He bere
down on what he called the bu-
reaucratic fraternity In WASH

reaucrats had usurped lawmak-
Ing powers, through personal ad-
ministration and regulations

Mr.. Dies tried to make 1t clear
that while he did attack men
with Communist a1Yiliations or
leanings In the service Of the
American Government, he was
making no attack upon the Com
munist government of Russia, or
upon Russia as 4 military ally
Of this country in the war on
Axis nations today. What the
Communists do in Russia Is one

Is another, he insisted. They do

The Dies Committee never dies.
The group whose of1icial title is
the House Committee to 1nvesti-
gate Un-American Activities has
been shot at by some Of the high
est ofncials of the administra-
ton. It has been attacked by
ardent New Deal members of the
House. It has been the subject
Of attack by so-called liberal or
ganizations, by labor unions, by
Fascist. Nazi and Communist
groups. It has, however, con-
tinued to survive since 1t was first
created and began its investiga-
tions In 1898.
Always it has been supported
by overwhelming votes Of the
House whenever 1t has come be-
fore that body for a continuing
resolution or for funds. It Is
beginning the sixth year of its
activity. The House Committee
on Rules has just reported out a
special rule and resolution to ex-
tend the life of the committee
during the present Congress. It
Is a foregone conclusion the res
olution will be adopted by the
House.
Representative Martin Dies of
Texas, Democrat, is chairman Of
the committee and 1t has taken
its name from Mr.. Dies. While
he has had strong assistance
from other members Of the COM
mittee. he has been the driving
force. Many Of the attacks upon
the committee. therefore, have
been directed at Mr.. Dies person.

attack has been that Mr.. Dies Is
merely . publicity hound.
Some ChArges Unjust.
Mr.. Dies and the committee
have, It Is true, made sensational
charges, which have been widely
published-and some Of them
have been unjust. But many Of
them have been substantiated by
evidence which the committee In
vestigators have turned up, show
ing the persons guilty Of un-
American activities.
In . speech In the House on
Monday Chairman Dies said:

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.

Dy SAMUEL ONAE xONs
Sidney Kingsley does not hold
any public ONCE, unless sergeancy
in the Army may be described as
such. I suppose most Of our Con-
gressmen have never heard of him,
though imagine they have heard
of the Dead End kids, whom he in
vented and whom some Congress-
men sometimes seem inclined to
initiate.
Yet by writing 1.-THE Patriots"
which has Just opened on Broad
way, Mr. Kingsley has become Z
political figure of some consequence.
You may ask what, precisely, has
he done to make him 50? I an
swer that he has written an accur-
ate and moving play about Thomas
Jefferson. You may then say, what
OF it: there is nothing new about
Thomas Jefferson, we know about
Thomas Jefferson, he wrote the
Declaration OF independence and
invented the dumbwaiter.
That IS not the point. The point
IS that we have needed Thomas
Jefferson's help in discussing our
problems, and Thomas was sleeping
in the library. Mr.. Kingsley has
made pass over him, and revived
him, and brought him to life, 80
that from now on, eight times 4
week, on Broadway, Thomas Jef1er-
son will be debating the future Of
America, to the CONSERVATION Of
such men as Mr.. Hoffman Of Mich
igan and Mr.. Cox Of Georgia, who
have believed smugly that they
would have the discussion al to
themselves.
Inspired Dirty Trick"
It Is dirty trick on the Hof1-
mans and Coxes to bring Thomas
Jefferson back. They thought they
had only Harry Hopkins to contend
with. And this dirty trick Is the
beautiful and inspired dirty trick
which artists have always played on
politicians.
Mr.. Kingsley's play already has
driven some Of his critics into acute
melancholia. They do not see Why
on earth Thomas Jefferson has to
come along, at time like this, and
raise the questions Of whether one
loves the people very much and
what one proposes to do for their
futures. They resent this, as an
mwaTanted interruption Of Ger
tain grubby little discussions that
had been going On, concerning how
many civil servants can stand on

warned that the japanese would
not rest until they had made
amends for the loss Of face ut

This point of view appears to
have been fully shared by Ad-
miral Halsey, who has been on
the alert ever since the last battle
In Guadalcanal waters. The
minor engagements between
American light forces and Jap
destroyers conveying sampans
and other small craft to supply
the troops at Guadalcanal were
mere skirmishes.

They were considered by Ad-
miral Halsey as . prelude to an

According to measer available
reports regarding the new battle
for 0uadalcanal, the American
and Japanese forces have been
engaged 80 far in skirmishes in
which heavy ships have not par
ticipated.
The course Of the battle ap-
pears to depend on whether the
Japanese can hope to keep or
forces at bay and effect q new
landing in force on Guadalcanal
with the object Of obtaining q
force suf1iciently superior to the
American force holding . portion
Of the island.
In that event, . major battle
involving al kinds Of heavy and
light units and planes from both
sides might develop. II, on the
other hand, the Japanese fear q
repetition Of the developments
Of November 1915 they will
hreak OF in time and withdraw
to their safe bases 1t Rabaul and
Truk.
Until Tuesday only small
units. such IS PIT boats, destroy
sers and possibly light cruisers,
were engaged on both sides.
Whether the Japanese, carriers
which were damaged in previous
battles and are believed repaired
have participated In the new
fight Is dimcult to ascertain. But
air forces either from land bases
or carriers are participating In
the preliminary engagements.

While the extent Of the forces

Of the Japs which has been ex.
