Dies Group Asks Recall Of Perkins
Committee Warns Government Against Red Penetration
WASHINGTON. Jan 3— (UP.)— The House ft>mmlttee on un-Ame-rican activities today warned against Communistic penetration of the United States government ln a final report coinciding with announcement by one of the members that within a week he will Institute impeachment proceedings against Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.
The committee, which had been censured by President Roosevelt for permitting critical testimony against the new U S. Attorney General Frank Murphy, retaliated with criticism of other cabinet members for seeking to "hamstring" the group's investigation. The report also asked $150,000 to continue the committee's work for two years and said it could make no legislative recommendations until there had been further inquiry.
PARNELL DISCLOSES MOVE
The move against Madam Perkins, first woman cabinet member in history, was disclosed by Representative J. Parnell. R, N. J.. who said he planned to Introduce a resolution asking for her impeachment for failure to enforce deportation laws.
Parnell specifically referred to the secretarvs refusal to deport Harry Bridges. Australian-born maritime leader on the West Coast and ranking official of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, who has been charged with communism.
TO CITE OTHER CASES
Parnell added that his resolution would cite other cases in which Madam Perkins purportedly failed to deport aliens advocating overthrow of government by force.
The committee's report, which also warned against Nazi and Fascist inroads, dealt at some length with the Bridges’ case and the Labor department's position, criticising Miss Perkins and asserting that the labor leader should be deported. Bridges, on many occasions, has denied that he is a communist.
