Would Welcome Investigation

Hillman pointed out that his
committee would welcome an in
vestigation of its activities by
U. S. Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle
and had already opened its books
to the FBI. He said that the at
torney general and the FBI are
cloaked with appropriate powers
and the CIO committee would
welcome investigation by con-
greSsional committee similarly
empowered.
Rep. Martin Dies, Hillman de-
clared, has the right under the
resolution creating his commit
tee to investigate subverSive and
un-American activities, but has
no power or authority to ex-
anime the work of the political
action committee, which is di-
rected to registration of voters
and political program includ-
ing full employment and COOP
Grafton among the United Ma
lions during the postwar period"
Hillman rejected as imperti-
nent any expressed charge that
urging Americans to register and
vote and to participate in the
public life of the nation is sub
verSiVe and un-American."
