Dodd to name the near “bil- Honaire” whom the envoy to Germany described as ready to back an Amer- ican dictatorship. The North Dakotan was supported in his demand for the name by Sena-| part: tor Borah (Rep.-Idaho) and Rep. Fish (Rep.-N. Y.) Regardless of the outcome of his resolution, Nye sald, he would ask a senate inquiry into “all glien sub- versive influences whose scope most emphatically would include this dic- tatorship warning.” This investigation, he explained, would be an outgrowth of charges which he made in the senate Mon- day that a Spanish Fascist “spy ring” was operating in the United States. He sought an initial $25,000 appro- Priation to finance the inquiry. Commenting on Dodd's letter, Nye contended that “if the ambassador has knowledge of any such movement toward a dictatorship he owes it to the country to make it public.” CAR OWNERS MUST GET LICENSES SOON Prosecution and Penalty Face Drivers Not Having New Tags After May 15 North Dakota automobile owners must obtain their 1937 license tags by Saturday to avoid penalty, C.
