He added that no one can dispute
the needs of real security, but that
there seems to have been a tendency
in some quarters to make security

The Dies Committee turned
over to the Justice Department
today evidence it said showed
that the Peace Now" move
ment has engaged in "acts
whose nature is clearly seditious
and which tend toward the en-
couragement OF treason"
Chairman Dies said he would rec

he believed his groups formal report
on Peace Now. made public last
night, spells the end of that organ

mittee will continue to keep a
watchful eye on those connected
with the movement"
One Of the main items Mr.. Dies
said he would hand over to Attorney
General Biddle Is a letter which
committee investigators obtained
from the organizations files and
which, the committee said, was sent
to 81 prominent religious leaders
last October.
Treason Called Preferable.
The letter, the committee report
said. invited the religious leaders
publicly to request all the follow
ers Of Christ under your banner at
once to lay down their arms and
cease supporting this war"
In its judgment. the committee
reported, "the mailing of each and
every one Of these letters from
the office of the Peace Now move
ment was seditious act deliberatel,
designed to lead toward wholesale
treason on the part of the armed
forces OF the United States" and
involved "a plan for mass treason
which was truly colossal in its con-
ception"
A follow-up letter, the committee
reported, expressed the belief il
would be preferable for Christian.

Mr.. ShaW's statement was worth a

Geary said. His wife must have

She probably put that in her will

thing is not to be taken seriously"
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut demanded: Where does
she propose to educate them? Does
she want to make them like the
English? After lifetime with
Shaw, she probably thought she had
good basis for her request"

Mr.. Shaw made that clear when
1t was disclosed yesterday that the
greater part of Mrs. Shaws 5000, 900
estate had been earmarked as an
educational fund for the people OF
her native land.
AL I can say about it is this:
That will doesn't come into opera
ton until I'm dead" Mr.. Shaw
told neWsmen.
When one reporter referred to
the ill-mannered Irish" Mr.. Shaw
snapped: They are not the only
ones. What about the English and
the Welsh?" Then he added:
AT the time my wife made that
will was seriously considering do
ing the same thing for the English
and would now, only I haven't
enough money left"
Mrs Shaw died last September.
Mr.. Shaw said that perhaps the
idea to help the poor came from
his own "Pygmalion story of
how an English professor took an
illiterate flower girl and made her
a society belle.
