Newspaper Charges
Hoffman Aims Shafts
AT Freedom Of Speech

A House speech by Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan,
has drawn from the New York
newspaper PM charge that Mr..
Hoffman was seeking to destroy
freedom of speech by a back-doo
attack on the sponsors of radio
commentators he does not like"
In the speech, delivered yesterday,
Mr.. Hoffman propounded a series of
questions, asking whether Andrew
Jergens, Cincinnati toilet article
manufacturer and the radio sponsor
of Walter Winchell ever had in
his employ persons accused or con-
victed of "disloyalty" He suggested
that Mr.. Winchell, Mr.. Jergens or
PM answer.
Mentions Execution of Saboteurs.
He asked if it were mot true that
at least one of Jergens' confidential
employees did either give aid to or
conspire with some or all of the
eight saboteurs who were executed?"
(Only six were executed)
In reply, John Lewis, managing
editor of PM, declared:
Il presume Congressman Hoffman
addressed his question at PM be-
cause we have been fighting in sup
port of Walter Winchell's right to
exercise freedom of speech on the
radio.
Il don't know anything about any
OF the employees of Mr.. Jergens ex-
cept that Winchell told on his radio
program year or SO ago how
housekeeper employed by Mr.. Jer-
gems had been arrested by the FBI."
Mr.. Winchell, visiting in Washing
ton yesterday, also told of that in
|cldent in reply to Mr.. Hoffman's
questions, saying it was "the only
thing" he could think of that the
Michigan Representative might have
meant. He asked to be called before
congressional committee.
THE people ought to know a lot
OF things, and maybe that's the place
to tell en-" he said.
Asked Jergens to Announce 1t.
"She (the housekeeper) was de-
tanned by the FBI as an enemy
alien, and we were the first to an
nounec it on the RADIO" said the
commentator. II heard about the
matter when I came back from
Brazil in January a year ago and
called Jergens about it and told him
that we had been announcing these
things about others and I thought
it proper that we should be the first
to announce this. He told me: Go
right ahead And I went right
ahead. The FBI can tell all about
1t. Hoffman seems to be about IA
months late
Mr.. Lewis, declaring that Repre-
sentative Hoffman's interest is not
in prosecuting enemy aliens, but in
destroying the freedom of speech
by driving Winchell off the air."
said:
Hoffman failed in an attempt to
silence the press, including PM, in
its attacks on native Fascism and
himself two years ago. He tried un-
successfully to create a Dies COM
mittee to investigate the press. Now
he is seeking to destroy freedom of
speech by back-door attack on the
sponsors of radio commentators he
does not like"
Mr.. Lewis termed Mr. Hoffman s
speeches "a wholesale item of propa-
ganda" and said they had been dis
tributed by many of the 80 mem
bers of the Fascist conspiracy now
awaiting trial on Government
charges"
