Dies (D, Tex.), declaring to day that citizens cannot "feel se cure" with "crackpots" la high governmental positions,, suggested that Secretaries Harold Ickes and Frances Perkins and WPA Admin istrator Harry L. Hopkins resign. They should takewith them, he added, "their army of satellites" and thus restore "confidence in government" and harmony to the democratic party. " "It is a consummation devout ly desired by the overwhelming majority of democrats," he said in a statement. This was the latest development in a feud between Ickes and Dies growing out of testimony before the house committee on un-American activities that the secretary was a member of the American Civil Liberties union. The union was described in previous testi mony as a red organization. Yesterday Ickes called Dies the world's outstanding "cany," and characterized testimony before the committee as "garbage." Dies, chairman of the commit tee, countered today with a dec laration that the secretary's "most recent 'fit of uncontrollable rage only emphasizes his unfitness for the high position he holds." "Reeks With Venom" "The secretary literally reeks with the venom of hatred," the Texan went on. "It flows from him as naturally and freely as water from a spring." "Because a witness, under oath, testified that the secretary is a member of the American Civil Liberties union, an organization which John L. Lewis and the united mine workers branded as communistic in 1924, the secre tary strikes viciously and savage ly at the chairman of the com mittee although the secretary ad mits his membership in the Amer ican Civil Liberties union." The truth, Dies said, is that Ickes, like Miss Perkins and Hop kins, brought "his many radical associates" to Washingtn when he was appointed secretary. These "satellites" range in "political in sanity" from socialist to commu nist, the chairman declared, with the "common garden variety of crackpots preponderating." He said they are consistent in only one thing "the promotion of class hatred." ary Salem, Mrs. Ray Landon of Port land, Mrs. C. W.

In a pastoral letter made public here, Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, archbishop of Philadelphia, and the archbishops and bishops who attended an annual meeting here in October said they were "seri ously alarmed by the spread of subversive teachine and br the ah dacity of subversive action in our country. We are witnesses today," they added, "of proclamations and pro grams which, if translated Into action, would destroy all that is just and ennobling in liberty-lov ing America." Textbooks Planned Announcing that Catholic uni versity would compile more com prehensive texts to present ,the principles of democracy and cit izenship to the Catholic school children of Ameriea, the pastoral letter declared: "Our people. . . must be held to the conviction that love of coun try is a virtue and that disloyalty is a sin." In a statement accompanying publication of the letter, the most Rev. Edward Money, archbishop of Detroit, said that although the program was of Catholic origin he hoped it would not be considered an exclusively Catholic undertak ing. "Such studies are needed all through America today to arm and armor the minds of youth and nullify the current influences which tend to undermine democ racy in this country," he said. The Rt. Rev. Monslgnor Joseph M. Corrigan, rector of Catholic un iversity, viewed the project as ed ucation in "the fundamentals of freedom." Pope's Warning Cited The pastoral letter signed by Cardinal Dougherty related that Pope Pius had warned the church recently of revolutionary forces at work in the world, and of "pri vate immorality and public sub version" having "raised the ban ner of revolt against the cross of Christ." The pope called specifically for development of a "constructive program of social action ant said Catholic university must give peciai attention to the sciences of civics, sociology and econom ics." Cardinal Dougherty concluded: "Democracy is on trial In the World tOdar. Ita nr4nfn1a V littled. They are attacked and en dangered even la this country."
