Show UINTAII BASIN RECORD Brurkart'K Washington Wriest PfflowandCha. Dedicate Memorial to Beloved Hunioiist Dies Committee Bares Activities Of Radical, Communist Groups THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. By WILLIAM BRUCKART WASHINGTON. "Unless something ig done to curb radicalism in ny section, there is going to be an awful clash and a lot of people are going to get hurt. So spoke Fred W. Frahm, superintendent of police of the city of Detroit, Mich. And his statement was under oath, for he was giving testimony before a committee of the house of representatives, a committee charged with exposing to view the activities of certain groups in this country. It was the statement of a man who is serving a city in an official capacity and who has gone through 240 strikes which he asserted were the direct result of agitation by the radicals to which he referred. He looks for more in the near future and added, by way of emphasis, that these communists and radicals do not want to seek adjustment of differences between labor and man-- . agement; they want to make trouble all of the time." Through a number of weeks, the house committee before which Mr Frahm testified, has been taking testimony, gathering evidence, digging here and there m its effort to uncover the activities of subversive groups and expose them to public n view. t It has been the contention of the chairman, Eeprescntative Dies of Texas and some other members of the committee, that most of us are not aware of the unseen and malignant growths that are being bred into our national life. They are out to destroy our government, to bring to us the type of thing that has made Russia famous. Mr, Dies is a sincere and honest legislator, and he is trying to do the job assigned him, even when several of his committee members have sought to balk his efforts. But there Is much more to be done in the direction of exposing radicalism and the chiseling, cheating, cowardly efforts the agitators put forth. Charge Communists Active In Government Offices What I am wondering is why Mr. Dies has not sent his investigators into the very offices of the federal government, itself. Or, if he has done that, as it is gossiped about, then why shield anybody? Why not turn the spotlight of publicity on the individuals who want to destroy the American system, the American form of government, American tradition, the American profit system of doing business? There has been much talk in the last several years about the operations of communists within the very walls of the government, men and women who are boring from within as termites destroy lumber, and we ought to know the truth. If they are within the government, they ought to be exposed and chased out of the western hemisphere; if they are not operating as is gossiped around, then their names ought to be cleared In any event, I hope the Dies committee goes on and shows the cancerous nature of groups that do not believe In our system, whether they be Russians, or Germans, or Italians, or British or w hat have you. It has been the favorite device of the radicals and their henchmen to characterize any official who attacks them as being a subject for the insane hospitals. Their game has been to laugh people out of court whenever an effort was made to tell of some of the things the agitators were doing. Many w ill recall an investigation by a house committee several years ago where the witnesses were laughed down and a couiageous superintendent of schools from Gary, Ind., was made to look foolish because of the charges he made. Well, if my opinion be worth anything, the folks who wore the suikcrs in that play were the supposedly intelligent numbers of congress who made up the committee. It was they who fell for a trick of propngmda Either that was the cae, or the members of tint committee wete just plain dunib. Lewis Cannot Break Grip Of Communists on C. I. O.

C U astern fie sp tpe r Union, 4 z, V The Dies committee record is full of testimony about methods employed by the communists in their devious borings and destructive tactics. The record tells, too, of how many innocent appearing organizations, created for an allegedly useful purpose, are captured by communists and used by them to obtain money contributions for which no accounting ever is made And tragic, also, are the stories of how the real leaders laughed at the suckers who gave haid earned money, laughed m the secret recesses of their hideouts about the soft and easy minds of Americans. But another session of congress is coming. The Dies committee will make a report and probably will ask an appropriation to enable it to go on. We will see who opposes that appiopiiation. There prolably will be opposition from two or thiee members of the committee Itself, and we will see who they are.

His fame as a playwright began with The Road to Rome, which he wrote in 1927, just to lift a couple of mortgages, as he put It. In 1922, he married Miss Mary Brandon, the actress. He has an apartment in Sutton place, New York, and a modest estate in Surrey, England, where he has been helping Alexander Korda produce films. is There will be much more labor trouble. You can count on that. The Communist party representatives will never allow the slightest chance for creating trouble to escape them. They are determined to convince labor that it cannot trust the managements, they are encouraging the breaking of agreements between labor and management to the end that employers will have no faith m the leaders of labor, and they aie using the national labor relations board wherever that can be done to give official voice to labor troubles. That fact is chiefly responsible for the position which the C. I. O. group has taken m opposition to proposals for revision of the labor relations act. William Green and the American Federation of Labor are urging revision of the law, but C. I. O , having its tentacles in the labor board, obviously does not want its grip broken. It has been known for a long time that the C. I. O, was bemg used as a tool for destructive purposes, but the agitators and emissaries were sly and careful. They covered their tracks. Such information as leaked out was promptly discredited by the very reds who had done the job and they discredited any Individual who repeated the story by laughing at his gullibility. However, there is one instance which cannot be denied. The clerks In the rural electrification administration organized a union and affiliated with C. I. O, It was to have social as well as fraternal aspects. There was a dance scheduled. Negro workers attended and insisted on inter-raciparticipation in everything that was done. They said they were told to do so by representatives of C. I O. After the EX----. dance was concluded, so participants have repoited, a phonograph record was procured and the bellowing notes of "The Internationale, communistic anthem, blared forth. Dies Committee Exposes Methods Used by Radicals YORK. XJEW There is, of course, the danger that a lot of people will make foolish and unsupported statements about red activities, thus throwing doubt on the really serious phases. That always seems to happen. Unwittingly, that type of person which shouts and shouts and has no proof creates the impression that all cries of wolf, wolf," are meaningless. But when a congressional committee has the courage rather, when Its chairman over objections of some of its members has the courage to bring the stuff out for public examination, there must, indeed, be a basis for it. The tragedy of the thing is that the labor movement as a whole will suffer a severe setback. The fact that the radicals have grabbed con trol of the automobile workers union means that they have cells in other groups also, and that these cells slowly but surely will be spreading poison and trouble. The agitators seize upon the unthinking, the foreign-borwho are not steeped in our customs or love of country, or upon elements that have been badly treated, and they will use these innocent victims to carry out their destructive plans.
