WASHINGTON — There were
n ftrew -ks in that closely
I suerded conference between the
President and Representative
Martin Dies. The two men talk
ed things ov r smiab y. though
neither pulled his punches.
Roosevelt criticized Dies' pub
licity antics and the Texan com
plained that the FBI had refus
ed to “cooperate.” Most of the
discussion was on this point.
Roosev It bluntly declared that
Dies had hampered the FBI by
releasing premature publicity on
subversive agents, whose ooera-!
tions were fully known, but who
were secn tly being kept under
surveillance in order to ascertain
their tie-ups and higher-ups. He
cited three specific instances giv
en him by the FBI.
“I didn’t call you hers to cen
sure you, Martin,” the President
said in effect “but to consult with
you on how to get better results
in what you are doing. You say
you want better cooperation be
tween your committee and the
FBI. Fine, but you can’t get it by
sniping at the FBI. That will
have to stop—and stop right now.
Another point Roosevelt stress
ed was the Dies shotgun press
method had unjustly cast suspic
ion on innocent persons. The
! President mentioned particular
j ly the case of the League for
Peace and Democracy, whose
mailing list was published by
Dies last year with a big fanfare
of publicity.
DIES’ SIDE
Dies vigorously defended this
i and tossed sev-ral “I-told-you
! so’s” back at Roosevelt.
"It wasn't our fault if anyone
| got singed by the publciation of
• those names,’ Dies argued. “The
| committee exposed the league as
| a Commdnist from long before
| and those fellows had plenty of
• timet-o have their names-taken
■’off the rolls.-If they didn’t it was
: their fault.
“Also I rhight add that we
! were chiefly responsible for driv
J ing th.? L£alguc to dovdr. You
i never hear of it any more and no
;one doubts any longer that it
was controlled by the Reds.
“And, incidentally. we made
j the same charge against the CIO.
! I told you in our conference
! two y ars ago that John L. Lew
, is was working with the Com
munists. Now it’s an established
fact that at least ten CIO unions
with whom Lewis lias been cheek
by-jowl are Communist-controll
ed.”
The President admitted that
Dies had him there, also that th
investigating committee has done
ome “excellent work." But at
*h:■ same time. Roosevelt insist
ed Dies has be n an obstructive
•fi cnee by interfering with the
FBI through “giving ton much
uublici'.y to y ur activities."
“Well, the FBI has never gone
jt of its way to ccoper? with
is. • rebutu-d D’ s. "W- al
ways turned over our files to
lem, but every time we ask to
e an FBI file, they refuse
In the end, D s agreed to ex
eici-c more ctrre and to confer
with Attorney General Bob Jack
<in on a plan to avoid future con
fl:ets. "In the future” he said “if
conflict arises and the FBI i?
watching a spy or saboteur. I can
promise you that we won t int r
fere.”
NOTE — Dies has one White
House supporter. Toward the
and of the conference.. General
"Pa” Watson, the Presid nt’s
hefty appointment secretary,
strolled in and several times in
terjected, “He’s right Mr. Presi
dent, he’s right.” Right or wrong
Roosevelt took no chanc s on sub
sequent controversy as to what
w?is said. A stenographer took
notes of the entire discussion, a
very unusual procedure.
diplomatic chaff
G. Henry Haye, new French
Amb?issador, will leav-. Washing
ton soon for “consultations with
Vichy. It is not likely that he
will come back. As former Mayoi
of Versailles, Haye was poplai
with Americans in Paris but nev
er with Americans in the Unit
ed States.
Irony of diplomatic fate is tha 1
when Mussolini marched into Al
bania the U. S. Stat? Department
actually condoned it. Instead ol
registering a protest as in the
case of other occupied countries
