 From our 19aO cOlyum titled "The Winchcell C0lyum VI The Fifth Column: "A few weeks ago . man arrived from Germany very uulet- ly. When reporters discovered him in New YOrk--he said he was here only to buy material for Germany did not concern propagandist ace tivities. But reporters did not mention that his name Is pr. Wes- trick. He is the law partner of Dr. Heinrich Albert, who was once chief German pr0pagandist. Last week Dr. Westrick conferred secretly with Fritz Wiedemann, German Consul General of San Francisco, who gives orders to the German Embassy at Washington"
 From the wv cOlyum several weeks later: 'rrhe other evening in New YOrk at the Hotel Carlyle, lO- cal Nazis celebrated the Fall of Paris. Among the guests were Ger
 man Consul BOrchers, Dr. Carl Eg- gers of the Len0x Hill Hospital formerly the German Hospital) Curtis Dahl and MT. Rieber of Tex acO Oil. The principal speaker was introduced as Dr. Webster His right name Is Dr. WeStrick!"

 From 1940 wv colyum: Cong. Sabath accused Cong. Thorkelson of carrying out the policy of the Nazi regime in the U. S."
 From the same cOlyum in 1942: We called the attention of the American people to the shameful fact that Congressman wal using his position to spread Maxi hatred and swastika propaganda by insert ing the stuff in the Congressional Record and then distributing 1t un- der his frank. That Congressman went on the air to deny our charg- es and called us all kinds of names in Congress He is Cong. Jake ThorkelSOn."
 From the ROgge report: "Viereck and Bennett built up mailing list of more than l40, 900 names all over the country Most of the names came from the members of Con- greSs From ex-CongreSSman Ham, ilton Fish's secretary Viereck got 100000 names"
 From this cOIyum: "The Dies Committee planned to investigate the activities of George Sylvester Viereck, but it was blocked via the influence of Cong. Fish, That item appeared here in 1898!
 From the ROgge report: Follow ing the dictum in his auto-biogra- phy that a lobbyist who secured the confidence of 8 member of the Senate had his game half won, Viereck got himself a Senator-the late Ernest Lundeen. Lundeen be- came his front man."
 From a Winchcell c0Iyum in 194O: "At dinner given by the German American Board of Trade at the Waldorf Astoria on March 2Oth, 194O, the audience gave the Maxi salute when the orchestra strIsk up the Horst Vessel song. The featured speaker at this affair was Sen. Lundeen. According to the April 4th, 194O issue of the official Bund rag, "Lundeen pledged him. self to act as friend of the Ger man people and as an opponent of the new-fangIed internati0nalism as long as he was . member of the Senate"
 Incidentally (after Lundeen died), his wife used our microphone and denied the evidence we made pub- lie about his pro-Nazi activities. She shrieked that we had smeared Lun- | deen. This fiend Winchell," she screamed, reached into the grave | of my poor husband, who couldn't | reply!"
