‘DIES GROUP FOR ITS NAME LIST

‘Sordid Procedure,” He Says As U. S.. Presses Drive Against Sabotage.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt today characterized as “sordid procedure” Dies Committee publication of Government employees who are members or on the mailing list of the Amerjean League for Peace and Democracy Mr. Roosevelt authorized direct quotation of the term “sorbid procedure.” The President was asked .if he had any comment on the Committee’s action. In making the names public the Committee’ explained that it was not charging that the Government workers were members of the Communist Party. Mr. Roosevelt said that he has not read enough details of the “sordid procedure” to comment.

Strike at Sabotage

A reporter asked him exactly to what he referred and Mr. Roosevelt replied he felt that the point of his reference was quite obvious. Mr. Roosevelt made this comment while several agencies of the Government pressed a campaign against sabotage and alleged un-American activities on several fronts. These developments stood out: 1. Attorney General Frank Murphyq revealed that the FBI has instituted a plan of protective supervision over important industrial plants to guard against sabotage. 2. Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.) of the House Committee Investigating Un-American Activities, asked Mr. Murphy to proceed against the American League for Peace and Democracy, for “flagrant violation” of the Federal statute requiring registration of agents of foreign principals with the State Department.

Kennedy Asks Law With Teeth

3. Rep. J. Martin Kennedy (D. N. Y.) proposed that Congress “put some teeth in law to care for these filthy Communists” and then turn war veterans’ organizations “loose with the best wishes of this Congress” to help the FBI drive “these Communist rascals to cover.” 4. Mr. Murphy praised the Dies Committee . for its “excellent work in the educational field” but said the Justice Department would engage in no “Red hunts or brass band raids” and would limit its investigations to violations of Federal laws, not “political idologies.” He confirmed reports that FBI agents are investigating activities of Fritz Kuhn, German-American Bune leader. 5. Rep. Noah Mason (R. IIL) declared that all Government employees who are members of the American League for Peace and Democracy should either resign or be fired from their Federal posts.
