Page Two Frankly Speaking BY PAT FRANK ’T'he Dies Committee has wound up its important hearings and is currently preparing its report to be submitted to the next regular session of congress. This report will cite the evidence uncovered In the second year of the House probe of un-American activities as justification for two moves—en actment of a legislative program designed to curtail the freedam with which subversive influences work and the continuation of the committee for an indefinite period with greatly increased appropria tions. A vigorous behind-the-scenes battle will undoubtedly be waged in the House on both issues. The fight will be waged by New Deal representatives in the House. The sole reason for the contest, to put it bluntly, is that Mr. Roosevelt and his intimate advisors do not trust Rep. Martin Dies. A legislative program drafted on the basis of the committee’s findings and under the influence of its report will be only dis- PHOTOGRAPHS FOR IDEAL GIFTS DISHINGER-WOODWARD STUDIO 33 W.

A continuation of the committee, it is claimed, will place Dies and his conservative colleagues in a position to continue their sniping at the New Deal in an efford to aid conservatives in their fight for party control at the 1940 conven tion. On his part Dies says any polit ical aspect of his investigation has only been purely incidental and constitutes proof that he has been interested only in un-American ac tivities. He is equally distrustful of the Federal Government’s drive against subversive elements as New Dealers are of his. The Texan has frequently voiced the allegation that the Government has failed to cooperate with the House probe and that it leans over backward to protect Communists and other extreme left wingers from any application of existing laws. Dies has taken cognizance of the basis of the attack which will be launched against any legisla tive program he will seek to have enacted by congress and in recent statements has stressed his avow ed belief that such legislation should be enacted with scrupulous regard for fundamental liberties. The whole fight will be strictly an inside affair deisgned to keep the House from considering any part of Dies’ future program. If the proposal to continue the com mittee gets before the House, the battle will be lost for the New Dealers because few congressmen will vote against it in view of the widespread popularity the probe group has attained. The fight over the legislative program will center in House and Senate committees considering va rious legislative phases of it where a strong effort to substitute an Administrative program for that outlined by Dies will be made.
