Roosevelt is on duty as WASHINGTON—The real inside | regarding the indictment of George; Hill, secretary to Congressman Ham | Fish, makes the grand jury's action much more important than appears on the surface. It may turn out to be the springboard for cleaning up a sitution inside Congress whereby a small group has prostituted the use of the Congressional franking priv- ilege and played into the hands of the Nazis—perhaps without know- ing it Worst of all, this group has be- | smirched the name of Congress and | lessened public confidence in one of our great institutions at a time when we need to preserve one of the few legislative bodies left in the world. George Hill, Ham Fish's secretary, | was indicted for perjury. This, in itself, was significant, because wit- ness after witness has appeared be- fore the grand jury (which is in- vestigating Nazi propaganda) and lied. The grand jury finally decided on action. Ham Fish’s secretary admitted re- ceiving $12,000 during the last five months, in addition to his govern- ment salary of $2,000. But he would not tell where the $12,000 came from.

It happened that these speeches all tended to help the Nazi and isolationist causes. They were mailed all over the country—at the taxpayers’ expense. . he spent it.
