DIES AND DOUGH Representative Martin Dies may make good on his boast that there will be less opposition this year to continuing his un-American inves- tigation than there was last year. But getting that million dollars he wants is going to be a different story. The ebuillient Texan doesn’t know it, but Accounts Committee, which holds the purse strings on House investigating committees, privately has decided to limit his appropria- tion to between $100,000 and $150,- 000.
