PAGE TOTTR PLATTSMCUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOTTENAL Dies Report Exposes Anti American Acts Shows Efforts Already in Operation for Economic Penetration of the United States. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (UP) The Dies committee followed its dis closure of a German plan for the ec onomic penetration of the United States today by seeking the records of nazi, fascist, communist and Jap anese organizations in eight cities. The committee's "white paper" charged that nazi agents arc seeking to gear American economy to that Df the reich after a German war vic tory. It also charged far-flung nazi propaganda efforts in this country and Latin America, some of which em anated from the German embassy here and German consulates in other cities. Chairman Martin Dies telephoned his agents in Washington to begin seizing the records of organizations in Baltimore, Buffalo, Boston, Phila delphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Mil waukee, and Denver. Committee at taches declined to name the organiza tions involved. Interviewed at St. Louis, Dies said he believed the "White Paper" would " effectively smash" the plans of nazi organizations in the United States. He said he had a list of persons he believed to be the American agents of the American gestapo. He planned to "move in upon them, place them under oath and take their testimony." The white paper may be only the first cf a series. Others now contemp lated would deal with fascist, com munist and Japanese activities. The documents, most of them in German, reproduced in the 500-page book centered chiefly around two men. They were: 1 Dr. Ferdinand A. Kertess, an American citizen, head of the Chemic al Marketing company, New York, an American firm. The committee said his activities, and those of numerous German individuals and organizations, Indicated that Germany's efforts in this country "were not devoted solely toward propaganda and so-called mil itary espionage, but also reflected the fact that the German government over a period of years has been engaged in the far-sighted policy of penetrat ing into the economic structure of this country and those of Central and South America." 2 Dr. Manfred Zapp, director of transocean news service, a German agency. The justice department is seeking a federal grand jury indict ment of Zapp for failing lo register with the state department as the agent of a foreign government. The Dies committee reproduced corres pondence between Zapp and Hans Thomsen, charge d'affairs of the Ger man embassy, some of which ran back to 1033 when Thomsen was consulor of the embassy. The committee com mented: "The German embassy and various German consulates through out the country took lively interest in spreading the work of the Trans ccean News Service." The committee reported that in the records of the Chemical Marketing company, it found a plan entitled "The organization of German Indus try in America after the war;; "Also records of conferences Kertess had with certain individuals in New York The plan envisioned an organization "constructed upon three columns," with Kertess proposed as a director cf each. They were outlined as fol lows: 1 The Board of Trade for German American Commerce, Inc., to be pre sided over by the New York com mercial attache, with headquarters in New York and branches in other cities. 2 The American Group for Trade with Germany, Inc., to be a vehicle for cultivating "personal connections between American manufacturers and analagous organizations in Germany. 3 The German University League, Inc., to foster exchange of cultural and social relations between Germany and America. The plans for each organization had been worked out in great detail and in connection with them it was sug gested American German banks be organized into a banking institute to underwrite the financing cf German industry and trade activities. "The proposed organization," said the committee, "is typically character istic of the thoroughness of the Ger man mind and its ability to forsee in great detail future developments. "In the proposed industry or trade organization plan, there is the obvious intent to draw upon ail industrial activities in America that are in any way allied with German industry. American-German relations, under the plan, would arise out of the extensive use cf patent agreements cr cross- licensing in patents. The plan fur ther contemplates bringing Into the organization representatives from such leading industrial activities as cotton, cellulose, machine tools, the automo tive industry, and so forth "The plan sets forth a very definite link with the industrial life in Ger many by providing that all of these activities industry, trade, commerce and academic shall be directed from a bureau to be established in the Ger man industry in Berlin. Control would not dissipated or come under American influence." The committee said it was "quite evident that Dr. Kertess and the Chemical Marketing company were very anxious to conceal the manner in which they were carrying on their business activities," and reproduced a letter from Kertess to "Siebert G. M. B. II., Hanau, Germany" in which he said: "Will you please, first of all, re member for the 'nth' time that it is most highly undesirable to use West ern Union. Every single telegram of this cable company goes through the British censor." One letter to Kertess from Berlin, referring to a visit by Heinrlch Stiege, described as manager of the foreign department of Kertess' associates in Germany, spoke cf "the license agree ment between Du Pont and ourselves" and added: "We are willing to comply with all the wishes of Du Pont in this respect. Should, however, any point need fur ther explanation, Mr. Stiege will, of course, be disposed to discuss these matters with Du Tont. "These are, of course, only first hints to give you an idea of the scope and aims of Mr. Stiege's visit to the U. S. A. It is self evident that Mr. Stiege will call on our numerous friends in the U. S. A. among others American Cyanamid company, Handy & Harman, Bailey Larson, and so on." Another letter was written by Ker tess to Alexander Iehnert in Berlin on Aug. 13. It said: ". . . . I should write you volumes about the prevailing story of the man ner in which step by step this country is being driven inexorably into the war, regardless of whether it be Roosevelt or Willkie, assuming of course that the war shall not have ended before this spring." "The White Paper" pictured Zapp as one who not only was given co operation by German diplomatic of- lcials, but who was watched by Ger man officials and whose actions were reported to Germany. The committee charged that Trans Ocean News Service was one of the chief nazi propaganda mediums in Latin America. On Oct. 17, 1939, Zapp wrote to Guenther Altenburg of the Berlin foreign office that he had organized the news report to Latin America, but that his offer of the ser vice to the American press met only "the stiffest resistance everywhere." "Better than any other press in the world the American press is informed of foreign political affairs in Europe through its own regular correspond ents as well as through the well-known large news agencies .... Americans hold the peculiar subjective notion that only they are objective and con sequently they will not read news that does not sail under their own flag. . " In a letter, attributed to Thomsen on Aug. 30, 1938 Thomsen discussed Zapp's pending arrival in the United States: "I shall be most entirely at your disposal in order to facilitate your getting acquainted with your work ... it is of paramount importance that a crossing of wires with the work of the DNB (official German news agency) New York and Washington, be absolutely avoided." . The committee interpreted this to mean that Thomsen recognized that Zapp's work in the United States was "not easy," but that "he, Thomsen, was quite willing to facilitate the ap pointed tasks of Manfred Zapp." A cable from Zapp to Berlin was re produced to reveal his comments on American international relations. In it he said: "The only and at th? aame time the strongest guarantee for American neutrality appears to be ruffled U. S A.-Japanese relationship which for an indefinite period to come will r.ot per mit a European involvement of the U. S A." Other documents showed that Zapp engineered the publication in the United States of what was known as the "first Gcimi-.n White Paper," con sisting of American diplomatic rec ; ords the nazis claimed to have seized in the fall of Warsaw Zapp contacted the New York Publishing firm of Howell, Soskin & company four days after that firm had sought an English translation from the German embassy, which replied "in the negative." The committee said that apparently the state department considered cir culation of the book as "distribution of propaganda on behalf of a foreign government" because it asked the pub lishing firm to register in accordance with law. Howell, Soskin & Company, however, informed the state depart ment it was not responsible for the distribution and the "matter was dis missed." The committee document also re produced numerous records of the German library of information, New York, American fellowship forum, headed by Dr. Frederick Auhagen, and the German Railroads informa tion ,office and Herbert Moore, cf Trans-radio Press Service, 342 Madi son Ave., N. Y., as "conclusive in establishing the fact that Berlin looked to Zapp for proper broadcasting of material to the South American coun tries." A letter of Dec. 29, 1938 from Zapp's secretary to Moore relaying the text of a cable from Berlin, was commented upon by the committee. "It appears reasonable to assume from the letter that the South Ameri can countries to which Trans-Ocean news was directed from New York, by means of short-wave broadcasting, reported them success or failure of this transmission directly to Berlin. In the event that the South American reception was faulty, Berlin immedi ately advised Zapp in New York. Thereupon, Zapp took this matter up with Trans-radio Press Service, which service appears to be not only the re ceiving agency for Trans-Ocean but also the transmitting agency. "This fact is further substantiated from an examination of the Trans- ocean financial records in which it is disclosed that for the period from Jan. 1, 1939, to August, 1940, Trans- ocean News Service paid Trans-radio Press Service the sum of $44,387.91. "The certificate of incorporation of the Trans-radio Press Service, Inc., filed with the state of New York, bears the name of Arthur M. Quisen- berry as a member of the board of directors of the said corporation. The list of employees of Trans-ocean News Service, as contained in the files of this organization, indicates that an employee, Arthur Quisenberry, was entered on the rolls as of April 12, 1939." ANSWERS KISSING QUERY NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (UP) The Getter Vision Institute claimed today it had the answer to "why most women close their eyes when kissed." 'The- dropping of the eyelids in a woman about to be kissed is an emo tional reaction," the institute said. "However, women consciously aid their eyes to close. By closing her eyes, a woman shuts out her visual contact with everyday objects, relaxes and slips into the world of make-believe." NEWSPAPER "GRADS" TO MEET MEXICO, Mo.
