8 Dies Quiz to Delve Into Latin-America The special House committee investigating un-american activities will report to the next Congress on the growth of nazism, fascism and communism in Latin-America as well as in the United States, it was learned today. Chairman Martin Dies (D., Tex.) said in an exclusive interview that the investigation will begin about Aug. 1 in Los Angeles, Calif. After visiting other cities on the West Coast the group will move to Chicago, Detroit and New York. 'We intend to pay special, attention to any situations which our studies may reveal exist in Latin- America which might have serious effects on the United States. However, we do not intend to meddle other nations' affairs," said Dies. He indicated he may seek secret information from the Justice Depart- nient which recently conducted an extensive investigation of activities of an alleged Nazi spy ring in the East.

Shields, Johnstown's vigorous chief executive who waged a spectacular fight against the Committee for Industrial Organization, today appears before a magistrate to answer charges of bribery, extortion and malfeasance.

10 Ickes Note Protects Adams From Purge' Political observers believed today that a letter of commendation written by Interior Secretary Ickes would protect Sen. Alva B. Adams (D., Col.) front any Administration "purge".in the --Colorado primary in September. j Adams opposed President Roosevelt's court reorganization bill but has supported virtually every other New Deal issue. He is in almost the same political position as was Sen. Guy M. Gillette (D., Ia.) during his recent campaign for renomination against Rep. Otha D. Wearin (D., Ia.). But Adams has in his files a letter from Ickes giving him "highest commendation" and praising his "unfailing energy, intelligence, and statesinanship." This, it was believed, would make it unlikely that any other New Dealer would support Adams' opponent, kjudge Benjamin C. Hilliard, who announced.for the Democratic senatorial i nomination after a White House visit ' and to whom, therefore, was attributed the President's support. STOCKS the find: char& InOT I I I I f
