Dies Probe Seems Like Fan
tasy To News Reporters
As Evidence Is Entered
With Or Without Proof.
By Preston Grow
WASHINGTON. A notable thing
about Russian propaganda trials ia
the way the witnesses talk and talk
about their own mixleeds.
A notable thing about the Plee
Investigation Into the activities of
such "un-American" element as
nazls and reds Is the way some at
the witnesses talk and talk about
their own carryings on.
Of course in the case of the Amer
ican hearings, no one is going to
shoot anybody at sunrise or send
anybody off to Siberia. But they
are fascinating. Just the same.
The most recent witness we have
heard la Clyde Morrow of Detroit
who told the committee he bad
been a communist organizer and
strike leader but wasn't any more.
To prove his case he showed his
communist passbook, with the
stamps showing the several years
he had paid dues since Joining In
1933. Uts communist name was C.
Main. Communists, he said, take
special names from gravestones or
telephone books.
He Gave 'Em Names
Morrow named over all the com
munists he knew. In connection with
Detroit labor troubles, and added
a lot of names of Individuals, In
cluding a dozen or no Detroit teach
ers, who he said had walked along
the street with communists, or had
attended lectures by prominent com
munist speakers, or in other ways
had caused him to think they might
be communists. .
Previous red-and-nnzl henrings In
the house have been much like the
present one. Witnesses are invited
to pour out their testimony without
cross examination.
At one point Mr. Morrow began
to read a long typewritten state
ment purporting to be a summary
of strike activities in Detroit writ
ton by another communist.
"Row do you know that Is an au
thentic statement?" asked Represen
tative Dies of Texas, chairman of
the committee.
"I know it is," Morrow said.
"Proceed." said Mr. Dies.

C4)th-As-Cath-Can
To reporters trained to the ways
of courts., the hearing sometime
seems a fantasy, congressmen i-u
be punched for libel for statements
on the floor, nor can wltnewes be
fore congressional committees, so
almost anything goes, proof or no
proof.
One entertaining bit of evidence
Mr. Morrow supplied the committee
was how to start a strike. He told
how he and a group he called com
munists started a strike in the
Brlgg (auto bodies) plant in De
troit. Took Over Works
Two hundred communists were
rounded up from Toledo, Pittsburgh.
Pontiac and Flint. Supplied with
faked Identification badges they fil
tered into the plant through many
entrances, turned off power swltchea
in key places and then rushed out
to the assembly lines to tell the
startled workers that "Wo are on
strike."
From then on they kept the men
"at fever pitch" by stories that the
company was bringing truck loads of
strike breakers and militia from dis
tant points and that the men bet
ter prepare to defend their Jobs.
Only 500 men were thus put on
strike. Morrow sold, but added that
the picket line was swelled by 6,000
unemployed rounded up by the com
munists. The committee hohrlngs, once a
great show in Washington, are not
a sell-out here any more. One cas
ual spectator appeared to hear Mr.
Morrow.
