Walter Ashe, Sylva; Edward Bryson, Speedwell; Thad Cowan, Green's Creek, and Blaine Nicholson, Cowarts. The duties of the committee are to assist the State Department of I Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in keeping down F subversive activities, and to act as liason officers between those agencies and the' people. It is especially desired that subversive activities be suppressed, and fu at the same time innoeent peo- en pie be protected in their rights pe from persecution, or from injury H< by idle gossip. In other words, lei the Legion proposes that true Americanism be propagated and th protected, that the civil rights of Ri all the people be protected, in sa this time of stress, and when pc hysteria may strike in almost be any locality, and at the same ta time, that the un-American elements and un-American activ- th ities be entirely suppressed. The bi people are invited to communi- W cate to any member of this ul committee, any activities that m appear to be suspicious. But, it at is clearly understood that no tv communication will be given the slightest consideration unless the m writer signs his name to it. This dt rule is made for the protection ea the people and the Legion tfc from anonymuos attack-However bi a11 communications sent to the w committee will be treated in the ti< .strictest confidence. Nobody will je know anything about it except frie-eommittee, and, if necessary gl tfre city, county, State or Fed- w eral authorities. cl The committee was appointed fc after the Legion convention in in HiSh Point, last week, accepted ai the task, at the request of Gov- b< einor Hoey and the Federal Bu- pi rcau of Investigation. ai Another, and perhaps the cc m?st important task of the com- lil nhttee, and the Legion in generah is the propagation of true w American and patriotic spirit A. among the people, to build up b< ?Ur morale, so that we may be rc able to meet any emergency fa '-hat may arise out of the preset world upheaval. . 0"* MMBVtTW,* .

[ Wilkie, a new comer in the political field, is president of Commonwealth and Southern ?"-"Hnn o utilities holding V^UIpuiauiu**, M company. He is a native of Indiana, a lawyer by profession, and at present a resident of New York. His nomination came on the sixth ballot in the convention ,after Thomas E. Dewey, New York District Attorney, the leader in the first ballot, began losing votes on every subsequent ballot, and the contest developed into one between Wilkie and Senator Robert Taft of Ohio. | i Wilkie came into the political picture a few weeks ago, when articles about him began appearing in the magazines and the syndicated columns of the newspapers. He is a colorful personality, and immediately took hold of the imagination of the young er element in tne country especially. He was formerly a democrat, and was an ardent supporter of Roosevelt in 1932. He broke with the Roosevelt Administration over the Tennessee Valley Authority and some other New Deal moves. While not in agreement with much that the New Deal has done, he is considered a liberal in his views, and is admittedly far from being a conservative.
