Two Hoosiers Among 90 * Who Fight Inquiry’s Continuation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P). ~The house has given the Dies committee on un-American activities a new lease on life, continuing it for two more years after acrimonious floor debate. The vote was 302 to 94. | Exchanges frequently were 80 heated and personal that on several occasions the remarks of congressmen were ordered stricken from the record. Two Hoosier congressmen, Rep. Ray Madden (D.) and Rep. Charles LaFollette (R.) voted against continuance of the committee. The

other nine Indiana representatives]

voted in favor of the new appropriation. Fish Winds “Up Debate

The vote marked the fifth renewal of the committee headed by Rep. Martin Dies (D. Tex). The group was created in 1938.

Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y) wound up the debate with a plea for adoption of the resolution for continuance. “The president has fecognized the work of the Dies committee by appointing an inter-departmental committee to investigate charges against government employees,” he said. “There is more reason for the committee than ever before. Termites on the government payroll are seeking to undermine the fundamentals of democracy.” Rep. B. E. Cox (D. Ga.) assailed two chief critics of the extension— Rep. Adolph Sabath (D. Ill), chairman of the house rules committee, and Rep. Vito Marcantonio (A. L. P.N.Y). “The America I love would not be safe under the leadership of Sabath and Marcantonio,” he sald.

Voorhis Leads Opposition

In the forefront of the opposition was Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D. Cal), a member of the Dies group since its establishment. He has been a frequent critic of its methods, however. “I voted three times to continue the committee,” he said. “I can’t do it this time.” In the event it is approved, he added, “I naturally do not expect to be named a member again.” He was applauded. Rep. Will Rogers Jr. (D, Cal),

son of the late"humorist, was in the|

opposition camp. “If my father stood for anything,” he said. “It was tolerance. I ask you to vote for tolerance.”

Condemns Committee’s Methods

Rep. Frances P. Bolton (R. 0.) backed the resolution, but protest.

led the committee’s methods. She gave -her- support, she said, “only}-

because I regretfully believe the country does have need of some means of protest against the policy of the present administration to appoint and keep in position in varying degrees of authority men and women whose purposes are to destroy our representative form of government.” : Of the methods used she said, “They have given rise to doubts as to the stability of justice and of the great ‘American principle of faip play.” Rep. Voorhis said he had “fried to do the best I could” to improve committee procedure, but that in recent weeks the group had “mud-

died the waters” by attacking per-}-

sons of radical political views who nevertheless retained fundamental loyalty to constitutional government. The committee thus has embarked on a “political mission,” he said, rather than an impartial investigation. In appealing for extension, Rep. Dies promised that the committee would perform its duty, “this ad‘ministration notwithstanding and organized labor notwithstanding.”

HAVE NAZIS REACHED

AIR POWER LIMIT?

LONDON, Feb. 11 (U. P)—Alr authorities for the first time openly expressed the belief last night that Germany had reached the limit of her air power. On that basis, any increase in the allied air offensive against the Nazis may have “tremendous” possibilities with regard to a’ speedy ending of the war, a spokesman said. Repeated big scale attacks on the German air force by the British and Americans might over-extend Nazi aviation completely, opening the way for day bombing of Germany on a scale which experience has shown produces swift and terrible results against relatively few casualities, a royal air force commentator said.

Marines Get Fill of Corn

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P.)~The navy told yesterday how a group of marines on Guadalcanal were forced to eat corn for five successive days because a mess sergeant lacked X-ray vision,

It was up to the mess sergeant to do the guessing when a shipment of canned foods fell into the surf during landing operations and the paper labels were washed from the cans. He guessed wrong five times. But it won't happen again, the

and I don't mean to say that it borders on that,” Taber said, “it is clearly over the line.” He charged that Victory “is placing the government in the publishing business where they are soliciting advertising at the rate of $3000 a page from companies having war contracts and which have no other way to pay for the advertising except to charge it back to the government in the cost of the products which they sell to the government.” “It's Mr. Taxpayer who is footing the hill,” Taber declared. “All this, however, is probably not as harmful to our war effort as the waste of shipping space ‘which is entailed by sending this unneces-
