WASHINGTON—The Dies In
vestigating Commit!.e now has
documentary evidence of Nazi
flft ■■ umn i per: tic ns in the U.
S. so explos.vi t sat its pubhca
t;.
rupture of dip! matic relations
with Germany.
Because of this likelihood of in
trrnal complications the commit
tee has b. n : t v isly sitting on
tin load of dyn nitc, uncertain
what to do. It has consulted the
State Departme: which is just
'"as :: i itself.
In fact, even more so. The
Department forest t s the inevi
table necessity f demanding the
recall of a amber of German
diplomatic r presentatives, with
certain retaliation by Berlin by
the ousting f U. S. officials. In
the present delicate state of the
U. S.-Ax s relations, the Depart
ment doesn’t want to run that
risk.
So on its urgent advice, the
Committee is silting tight and
continuing its secret probe of the
subversive activities. The docu
mentary evidence in the posses
sion of th committee is stagger
ing It definitely establishes:
1. That the Nazi government
is directly superv ising and financ
ing a nationwide fifth column
campaign 1C, o7. and obstruct
the defense program, the U. S.
( ' :
aid to Great Britain.
2. That this aehvity is being
c rricji m through German Con
s .hues and German-controiled
p- ners. plus propaganda agencies
g: various kinds.
3. That Nazi Consuls get de
tailed instructions from Berlin

Ti ms-Oeetn ree - i.s seized by

received a number of bank drafts
'among them on: for $30,000 di
rectly from the Bank of Berlin,
and also considerable sums from
the Bank of Mexico, which have
been traced to German sources.
Copies of i. ,'ers written and re

the salut.i;.. n "Hsil Hitler.”
Similar evidence involves the
G rman Railroads Information
Office, a pi h >ed tourist agency

HOT CONSULS
Two of the Consuls implicated
in the evidence the committee
l has turn-d over to the State De
partment are Captain Fritz
Wiedemann, at Sun Francisco,
and Herbert Scholz at Boston.
Letters show both Nazis up to
their armpits in fifth column en
terprises.
Wiedemann, Hitler’s World
War capta is recognized in dip
lomatic circles as his p rsonal
representative in this country.
Situated on the West Coast, his
role now is especially important
as a result of the Axis-Jap alli
ance. Scholz is credited with be
ing the gu ling hand b hind the
American Fellowship Forum.
He has been closely associated
with Freidrich Ernst Auhaugen,
Nazi lecturer and president of
the Forum, who was seized in
Los Angel s recently as ho was
attempting to be; rd a ship for
Japan. TV committee is holding
Auhaugen as a key witness.
Other evidence in its posses
sion discloses the existence of a
s cret Fascist army in the U. S.
runningnto the thousands. Chief
organizers of this force have
beer, the German - American
Bund, the Ku Klux Klan. Italian
American clubs and German vet
eran societies.
Linked up with ail these op
erations is the German Library
of information, official Nazi pro
p e inda agency in New York. A

j o u r n a 1 i s m
The other morning a short
round man with a heavy coat
an. 1 b uek sc3rf shuffled across
the Cushman Street bridge in
Fairbanks to St. Jos- ph’s Hospit
al.
A little later his thin grey
tl; . h d head bared he clamber
ed 1 stairs of the Federal Build
ing to the offle s of law, order
a stice in Fourth Div
ision.
Then, just like any other day
f hi \ ’ he w back in his
own chair banging away at his
own typewriter.
Y su’d never know unless you
discovered by accident that Dav
id B. Tewkesbury, Sr., was typ
ing away into his fiftysecond
y>.ar of turning out what the
world wants to read —news of
the day.
Pro-Ti rious Seraphcok
lt d take a prodigious scrap
book to hold all the clippings
“Tewks” lias knocked out of typo
writers in newsrooms from the
Statue of Liberty to the Gold
en Gate and north to the B ring
Strait.
You probably couldn’t name 10
impor'npt newspapers, east coast
or west, without running across
at least a half-dozen in which
the v - er b’e author of the News
Miner’s Saturday Dragline has
n’t at on time or another came
scran tiling ;n with his hat half
cocked and his p ekets wadded
'
hunting.
When ver you mention the
name of one of the nation’s lead
ing jour-y-lists, editorial writers,
cr publicfs your odds are good
on a bet that Tewks once work
ed shoulder to should with him,
probably showing him the ropes.
Adopted Home
And Tewks knows his adopted
home of Alaska as well as he
knows the smell of ink on a fresh '
ly pulled proof.
Over copy desk and editor’s!
spindle he has watched the pa
rade of progress in the north
land—and joined it himself be
hind the runners of a Yukon sled
at the turn of the century.
It s a long tim since he was
ju-t a squirt of a kid in his
hon e town of Forsyth, Missouri
down near the Arkansas line. It’s
a long time since he first sue-!
cumbcd to the lure of smoky |
new rooms and drafty sessions of
nigh; court when he was a soph
rore at the University of Mich
igan in 1888.
Don’t let his shuffl- fool you.
He’s another year older as of yes;
terdav—but don’t let the shuffle
throw you off. His 20-year-old
kid, Bill, walks the same way
down the boul vards of Chicago,
where he’s studying art. And his
o’d-'st son. David Jr., is no speed'
ster either, between classes at
W -ilia High School, where he’s
one of the faculty.
Tewkesbury Ituse
It’s just a Tewkesbury ruse,
that shuffle. It gives a fellow!
time to think things over while1,
he’s ge'ting around. It's taken
Tewks through Europe and all
over North America. It’ll take
him across the Cushman street
bridge tomorrow—and the next
day.
Candles For Tewks
Birthday cardies blossomed on
■i big aog 1-fcod cake in the
News-Miner office in honor of
David Ballinger Tewkesbury, vet
ran writer of the staff. Tele
gr; ms and greetings from friends
a ided to the cheer of the vet-1
eran who has worked on nearly j
every paper in the North and nil
meruis metropolitan papers of
the continent sine? he launched
on the career of a cany maker.1
Tewks has made enough copy to
patch a trail to last star and is
still, going strong with promises;
of many happy returns of the
dny.
