Leading members of the America Ameri-ca First committee are Alice Longfworth, Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler, Wheel-er, Hanford McNider (Coolidee's assistant secretary of war), William Wil-liam R. Castle (Hoover's undersecretary under-secretary of state), Mrs. Bennett Clark, General Huh Johnson, Ir-vin Ir-vin S. Cobb, and General Robert E. Wood, who is head of the organization or-ganization and also of Sears-Roebuck and Company. However, they appear willing to remain in thf background. In fact, that is one of the main features of the lobbying- methods of the America First committee it does not reveal all of its far-flung: far-flung: activities to the public. Thus Lee Williams, a member of the committee's staff, sent out to radio station managers various .transcription of speeches by Senator Sena-tor Nye, Senator Wheeler, ex-Governor ex-Governor Alf Landon, and other isolationists. But in sending the records for re-broadcast, Williama cautioned: "These recordings do not mention the name of the America , First Committee. , They are simple messages from the speakers to the people. peo-ple. The sole function of the committee is to co-operate with these sneakers in the distribution of the recordings." record-ings." No mention is made as to where the funds are raisM to pay for these radio recordings, but it is clear that the senators are not paying for them themselves. . I MESSAGE TO PKEACIIEKS ! Thi.? same desire to keep the America First committee in the background was apparent in an inner office memorandum of February Feb-ruary 3. signed "R.D.S.Jr." (presumably (pre-sumably R. Douglas Stuart, Jr., director of the committee) and sent to members of the staff. It read : "With reference to the memo written by Mr. Bliss on Jan. 29 regarding subsidizing .some of the better anti-war grours, I want you to understand under-stand this information is strictly confidential. This information in-formation should go no further fur-ther than this office.'' Other correspondence revealed an indirect move to propagandize some of the ministers of the country coun-try who might oppose the lend-lease lend-lease bill. For on January 29 General Wood sent a letter to r.eorge W. Robnett, secretary of the Church League of America, r- I r, ' i Following up the historic success at Taranto, torpedo-carrying planes of the British fleet are plaguing the enemy throughout the Mediterranean.

I am delighted de-lighted that you have the same view of Bill No. 1776 that our America First committee com-mittee has, and I think .... the idea that the statement enclosed should be placed in the hands of every minister is a sound one. Enclosed herewith is my personal check as a small contribution toward this work." On the same day, General Wood also, sent an office memo to R. Dongas Stewart, Jr., in which he said: "Dear Bobby: I am enclosing enclos-ing a letter addressed to me bv the Church League of America. I wish you would p-et in touch with this Mr. Robnett right awav. I think we ought to urge them to get this statement out to their ministers as quicklv as possible, possi-ble, even if we have to help them." Three days later, on February 1, Mr. Stuart, whose father is an executive of the Quaker Oats company, com-pany, wrote as follows to Mr. Robnett: "I am pleased to enclose a check for $150 to be used toward to-ward completing your mailing to the ministers throughout the United States. This mailing mail-ing Is to be the one calling attention to the dangers involved in-volved in HR 1776.

"T" The America First committee also has maintained close contacts with various national figures who might aid in its propaganda drive. On February 4, Lee Williams addressed ad-dressed a letter to ex-Governor Alf Lundon of Kansas in which he said: "Here are the details of the request I made over the telephone this morning. Will you arrange to go to the radio station in Topeka and make for us recordings of two 1 speeches, the first timed for 13 minutes, and the record for 4 minutes. . . . Ship them to Mr. Charles Gains, WBS, 711 Fifth Ave., New York. All charges should be billed to the America First committee. commit-tee. "For these recordings, we will make a master record and 700 pressings which will be distributed to 600 radio stations throughout the United States. . . The records of these talks contain no announcement an-nouncement or any other reference to the America First committee. We merely assure all costs and arrange for proper distribution. . . . "The only suggestion I make is that you place all possible emphasis on the importance im-portance of your listeners expressing their opposition to the war bill in writing, and tell them to address both senators and their representatives representa-tives in the house. A flood of mail demanding defeat of the bill will definitely turn the tide during the next three weeks " SENATOR GEORGE SOFTENING? Chesterfields are made with one aim in view. . . fo give you )) .&. ' . tv,, . j Yr ? i The America First committee also has maintained a confidential observer in Washington who has written some rather interesting memos regarding the views of various senators. In one memo marked "Confidential (from Observer, Ob-server, Washington)" and signed "P. T. O." it is reported: "Senator George, previously, deemed impartial, seems to hav '.lifted his stand. This shift aDpeared yesterday after Lord Halifax paid him a surprise sur-prise visit to talk about how. fast action may be expected from the senate on the bill. Senator George, after the conference con-ference with Halifax, announced an-nounced that speed on the , bill would continue and that the committee would sit 'Ions-- ' er hours' next week. . . . All In all. it is considered that George Is being 'softened up' bv the administration, probably prob-ably bv his old friend Secretary Secre-tary Hull. "Incidentally, the visit of Halifax to the Hill reveals an important change in the attitude atti-tude of press and public. A year aeo any such action bv n foreign ambassador, including includ-ing the ambassador of Great Britain, would have elicited strong expressions of resentment. resent-ment. No such expressions are visible in today's press." Another confidential memo by the America First Observer and dated January 30 reported "sharp disagreement between Senator Taft on the one side and ex-President ex-President Hoover and Senator Mc-Nary Mc-Nary on the other. McNary and Hoover prefer that the fight be carried on by means of a series of amendments, rather than by one amendment as Senator Tafe has proposed. McNary and Hoover Hoo-ver say that for technical parliamentary parlia-mentary reasons a number of amendments would be the better method."
