Had Name Withdrawn
"A. My name appeared for time
as sponsor of the National Coun-
Gil of Americans Soviet Friendship.
However in a letter dated Nov. IL,
1916, I withdrew the permission for
the use of my name in that con-
nection. My action was taken
more than year prior to the des-
ignation of this organization as a
Communist front by the attorney
general on November "a, 1947."
He added that "the names of
many loyal Americans" also had
been listed among the sponsors.
Delegate E. L. Bartlett, who rep
resents Alaska in Congress, also
had asked to testify. Il have
nothing to hide Bartlett wrote of
charges Schoeppel had levelled
against him.
Senator O'Mahoney D-Wyo) /,
who heads the committee, told
Schoeppel in public letter your
charges on the Senate floor are
of SO serious nature, involving as
they do the patriotism, integrity
and good faith of Cabinet officer,
that an immediate hearing and
investigation clearly is required
OMahoney said his group will
hear later from others mentioned
in Schoeppels blast at the Interior
Department and certain leaders of
the fight for Alaskan statehood.

skilled in the use of the big lie,'"
Chapman added.
Senator Schoeppel sat in the
committee room today as Chapman
made his prepared statement of
reply
Chapman accused the senator of
clumsily weaving together names,
dates and incidents to make it
appear that Chapman had some
thing to do with the Alaska state
hood committee hiring Randolph
Feltus as a lobbyist Feltus was
described by Schoeppel as a former
agent for Communist Poland.
Statehood Involved
He quoted Senoeppel as having
said: Il have been advised that
the deal (hiring Feltus) was ar
ranged between oscar Chapman
and Governor Gruening (of Alas
ka). I have this fact on hearsay
evidence"
There was no DEAL the Sec
rotary declared flatly He said Fell
tus was hired by the Alaskan COM
mittee and he had nothing to do
with it.
Schoeppel had produced in the
Senate Photographic copy of
Chapuan's oath of office as IN
6ersecretary of the Interior in 1916,
from which loyalty affidavit had
been stricken. The senator had
demanded an explanation.
Loyalty Affidavit
Chapman said he was sworn in
at a formal ceremony, at which It
is customary to administer only
the oath, leaving Z it to the en-
ployee to sign the affidavit later.
He said he did so, and produced
a Photographic copy of such an
affidavit bearing his signature.
He said he had previously signed
loyalty oath in 194l, the terms
of which were definitely binding.
Chapman also submitted photo
graphic copies OF documents which
he said refuted Schoeppels accu-
sation that he refrained in 1916
from signing an affidavit of loyalty
to the American form of govern
ment.
He said. he had signed such affi-
davits in 194l, 1916, 1947 and 1949.
complying with various laws enact
ed by Congress.
General Denials

pel's references to my alleged con-
nection with certain organizations
Chapman continued: fl,
a. I was never member of the
American League Against War and
Fascism.
80. I have no recollection of
sponsoring, and can find no record
of having agreed to sponsor, a
meeting in 1910 under the auspices

been forced to strike to win
these gains for the benefit of

WHEREAS: The a bility to
strike, and to finance that strike,
is the most effective weapon in
carving out new gains for the
members, and,
WHEREAS: The existence of
weak units within a strong local

WHEREAS: The program of
assessments to help striking
units is inefficient, inadequate,

WHEREAS: The financial bur-

everyone gaining at the expense
of the genuinely union-minded,

WHEREAS: The Simply, eff

he file as a candidate in the

spring. His reasons for choosing
to be an independent instead of
a Democrat are subjects for con-
sideration by h is own con-
science.
perhaps he no longer agrees
with the Democratic program of
liberal, social legislation spon-
sored because it would benefit
the majority of the people -

he received last May when 81.
470 Democrats cast their votes
for him in the primary. This was
86% of the total Democratic bal.

as quite a majority.
"The voters have selected
Tom Burke to remain in Con.

pletely that Democratic pro.
gram. He voted for it 1907 il
his first term in Congress. Wha'
more proof of representation o.
