how to put them into operation.

and usually years. In the per
Torrance of this function the De-
partment is advised by a national
committee composed of leaders of
labor, management, and public edu-

with State Apprenticeship Coun-
ellis.
The Department does not train

those who want to be trained as

Through its apprenticeship field
staff, with offices in every state
and in all of the larger cities and
towns, the Department works with
local and state employers and or
ganiZed labor groups in setting up
apprenticeship programs. Wher-
ever State Apprenticeship Coun-
Gil has been established, this work
is done in cooperation with the
State Director of Apprenticeship.
At the national level the Bureau
works with employer associations
and labor unions in the develop

the local level, state and Federal
apprenticeship representatives work
directly with employers and union
locals in setting up the standards
of employment and training under
which apprentices are employed,
and which will meet the registra-
ton requirements of the State
Council or, lacking a State Coun-
CT, the United States Department
of Labor.
Registration is voluntary: but it
means that the program of ap-
premiership has met minimum re-
quirements of employment condi-

approved by public body equally

DR.. Dent emphasized that the
5-year grant to billiard in the total
sum of 100000 will enable the
University's Division of Nursing

Probably the biggest single con-
tribution to recreation was the
completion of new 26mile long

scenic Gulf Coast. This highly

Persons who say they support
a congressional investigating
committees aims but dislike its
methods are viewed with suspi-
cion by Representative Dies,
Texas Democrat who was the
first head of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties.
Mr.. Dies and J. B. Matthews,
former research director of that
committee and controversial fig
ure as a staff official of the Sem
ate Investigations subcommittee
last year, told Senate Rules
subcommittee yesterday that
there is room for improving
methods.
The Texas Democrat declared,
however, that "there is a we'll
organized campaign in this
country to do away with con-
gressional investigating COM
mittees." He charged that it
is spearheaded and inspired by
Communists, left-Wingers and
their dupes."
Recalls Early Probes.
He recalled that he and his
committee were heroes in the
193os as long as they investi-
gated only Nazis and Fascists.
There was no appreciate protest
against committee methods IN
those days, he said.
The Rules subcommittee
headed by Senator Jenner. OF
Indiana, is holding hearings on
numerous proposals for a code
of fair procedure for congress
sional committees. 1t was in re-
cess today and planned to hear
former Senator Brewster, Re
publican, of Maine, tomorrow.
Senator Brewster is a former
chairman of the old Truman
committee in the Senate and
also served on the Pearl Harbor
investigation committee.
Mr.. Matthews, now with a
private research firm in New
York. was asked yesterday II ne
cared to comment on his abrupt
departure a year ago this month
as staff director for the Senate
Investigations subcommittee, OF
which Senator Mccarthy is
chairman.
He described himself as the
biggest story in Washington at
that time" because of an article
in which he had previously
written that "the largest single
group supporting the Communist
apparatus in the United States
today is composed of the Prot
estant clergy"

Dies and Matthews See Room
For Improving Probe Methods

81 have not pressed for any
sort of vindication," he said
yesterday. 1.-THE facts speak for
themselves. The Rev. Daniel
Polling, one of the most eminent
clergymen, in a magazine article
that had far greater circulation
than my article, rather scolded
me for understanding the case.
The House Committee on I'm
American Activities. by a mar
gin of one vote, is disinclined
to hear my story, for reasons /
do not question"
Mr.. Dies devoted much of his
testimony to recital of what
he described as smear attacks
on him and the House commit
tee when it set out to investigate
Communists. He said those tao
tics included forged letters to
indicate he was tied in with
enemies of this country, and also
a false statement that he and
the committee had accused the
then child movie actress, Shirley
Temple. of being a Communist.
Mentions Roosevelt.
He said he frequently men
toned the Communist danger to
the late President Roosevelt but
that "he and simply could not
see eye to eye" He added that
he did not question the sincerity
of the late President but sup
posed Mr.. Roosevelt thought it
was better not to expose Com
munist activities and antagonize
Soviet Russia"
AS for revising procedures for
investigating committees Mr..
Dies declared I'VE should lean
over backwards to protect inno-
cent people" He nevertheless
urged safeguards against wit
nesses who he said try to thwart
committees or use them as a
sounding board and generally
are the first to complain that
the methods are unfair.
For Is years the argument
has been that they're not OPP
posed to the purpose of the
committee but to its methods"
he said. Zone big trouble today
with any attempt to investigate
Communist activities is that
some 10 million gullible people
were taken in by Communist
fronts years ago. Those people,
many claiming to be intellec-
tuals, bitterly resented exposures
and would not admit they were
taken for a ride by the Com
munists. People who went into
Communist front organizations
repeatedly, even if unwittingly,
should not expect to escape some
punishment"
