Chairman Dies, announcing an inquiry into reports of Communism and Naziism in the motion pi ture industry, said today that the House Committee on Un-American Am*- ganda designed to involve the United Disclosing the results of a two- day private discussion of the future course of public and private hear- ings, Mr. Dies said: “The committee took under con- sideration the question of foreign propaganda designed to involve us in the present European war, and it will announce at a later date its decision with respect to the scope of any inquiry along this line ” Mr. Dies announced that the com- mittee had voted to: 1. Begin public hearings soon on Nazi and Communist activities on Do | the West Coast, including the mo- tion picture industry. 2. Begin public hearings socn on reports of Communist activities in consumer organizations and bring officers of those groups before the committee for questioning. 3. Investigate statements that Communist and Nazi agents from Mexico are carrying on subversive activilles in the United States. 4. Continue its inquiry into the Christian Front and Christian Mobllizers. The Mexican situation will be under the supervision of Repre- sentative Dempsey, Democrat, of New Mexico, who disclosed that George Hurley, a committee investi- gator, already had assembled infor- to study. Mr. Dempsey said that he prob- ably would go to the Mexican border | to make a first-hand survey. The committee also quelled objec- tions of some Democratic members to committee procedure. By votes of four to three, it refused to restrict activities of J. B. Matthews, chief investigator, and to adopt procedure rules advocated by Representative Voorhis, Democrat, of California. Mr. Voorhis wanted to prevent members from making public speeches or writing articles about current inquiries and from issuing press statements without approval of | the full committee. Sub Believed Sunk In Steamer Collision By the Associated Press. BERGEN, Norway, Feb. 28.—A dramatic story of a collision with a submarine, in which the submersi- ble’s periscope was torn off and the war vessel apparently sunk in the North Sea, was told yesterday by suryivors of the Norwegian steamer | Arnfinn. The sailors landed in lifeboats after leaving the damaged Arnfinn. The ship still was floating north- | ward when they last saw her. | While the Arnfinn was en route | from England to Norway, the sail- ors said, she collided with the sub- marine, which got under the Arm- finn'’s keel. The Arnfinn developed a heavy leak after the submarine appar- ently sank, but with the help of pumps she managed to reach the coast, where the crew abandoned her. | Lloyd's register of shipping does | not list the Arnfinn, but does list a Norwegian ship named Arnfinn Jarl.

In a statement placed in the Con- gressional Record he added: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1940. Committee May Probe| Brass Bands and Finnish Skis Checked Reds, Witness Says Arctic Front Saw Invaders Bogged Down With Instruments and Stalled Machinery By WILLIAM L. WHITE. HELSINKI.—“Listen,” said the cameraman who has come down from the war above the Arctic circle, “I was up there before any one. I was there while it all happened. I know. “The Russians didn’t freeze. Any- more than anybody else froze. Their clothes aren’t bad. We went into some of their dugouts after the battle and they were good ones— as well made as the Finns. Anything else you’ hear is the bunk. “But what really did it was two things, and the first one was the bands. No kidding, bands. I made pictures of them after the battle. Big piles of trombones and cornets and bass drums and bass horns, all covered with snow. “You see, the Russians really be- lieved their own stuff at first— thought they were marching in to liberate the people, so they came in playing these damn bands and waving red flags, only the people they expected to liberate were all squatting behind trees putting nice little holes throngh those brass horns. “The second thing that did it was skis. You've got to be born on them like these Lapps and Finns are, to be any good. They get around on them like fish with their fins. Reds Had Books About It. “No kidding, I saw among the stuff they captured, books in Russian, on how to ski. Must have sent for them out of the Moscow library after the Finns cut up that first division. “The snow up there is two and three feet deep. The Russians come in on the road with all heavy mechanized stuff—tanks and trucks —but off the road theyre blind without ski. That snow is waist deep and they can’t send their patrols out more than two or three kilometers on either side—beyond this, they don't know what they're running into, or what's waiting for them on the flank, or what may be coming up behind—they're like a| blind catapillar, with the Finns sliding in and out the forest on all | sides of them, watching them crawl. “The Finns let them get pretty well in with all that heavy stuff clogging up the road. Then they send a patrol out behind them and blow up a bridge so they can't get| back. Then a man goes up to the head of the column. slings a dyna- mite grenade under the tread of the leading big tank, and it's done! A whole division stuck in the road. It's been the same way every time. But the Finns never close in at once. Indian Tactics in the Arctic. “Just keep a line around them, shooting into them day and night so they can’t ever light fires to get warm, or to get any food, orence students from Paul Junior sleep to speak of. Pecking them off with rifies while they try to hide behind their heavy mechanized stuff. “Usually the Russians try to dig in—I've seen the places—big round pits with parapets where a dozen men can fight while a few sleep. But the Finns usually manage to toss in a grenade to keep them awake, “And it’s the bunk about the Russians not being good soldiers. At least their company and battalion and regimental officers are as good as you ever find. There is trouble, of course, at the top, or they would never have sent them in with brass bands in December against a people born on skis. Maybe near the top they knew better, but were afraid to say no to Stalin for fear of being tried and shot. Fatigue Tells the Tale. “But never mind that—no matter how good your company and regi- mental officers are, after the men have been five days without food and sleep things happen fast. Before they finally close in and the fighting begins the Finns like to get them all bunched up like cattle, and then go round and round them on their skis. shooting into the herd. “And after it's all over, all you got to do is look at what's left to see what happened— a road with tanks and trucks jammed for miles bumper to bumper—I saw hundreds of| brand-new Ford trucks—dandies— they make ’em in Russia under| license — some without a paint scratch or a bullet hole—a road full of these for miles, and maybe one or two shallow trenches dug just at each side, and all around for miles and miles the forest laced with ski tracks. “And T got a wonderful shot of a | big brass bass horn with its mouth filled with snow, That's the kind | of stuff I like to get.” Ship That Fired 'In World War to Sail Again By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb. 28—A batbered old liner which fired the first Amer- | ican shot in the World War—a blast | that sent a German U-boat to the | bottom—is returning to the seas after sleeping quietly for five years at dingy docks around New York.
