Ape Brigade Is Religious Issue in China

Magazine Editor Testifies Silver Shirt Legion Sought Girdler Meeting
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6 — (U.RI — The house committee investigating un-American activities heard testimony today purporting to show that members of the Silver Shirts, previously described as a "Fascist" organization, once sought a private conference with Chairman Tom Girdier of Republic Steel corporation.
Editor Arnold Gingrich of Ken magazine submitted a letter assertedly written at Ashville, N.C., on July 15, 1937, by Spencer J. Warwick, Identified as Silver Shirt leader in Ohio, to Miss Susan Sterling of Lakewood, Ohio, saying “we hope that when we come you will be able j to ascertain whether Mr. Girdler j and Mr. Wysor will be in Cleveland | so that we can have a private con-J ference with them.”
LETTER EXPLAINED
Gingrich said that Warwick meant Tom Gordler and R. J. Wysor, Republic president. However, there was nothing in the letter to indicate thc proposed meeting ever took place.

what they declared was "proof
that there were monkeys fighting GINGRICH SUBPOENAED
Gingrich, who said he appeared in answer to a committee subpoena
ln the Chinese army They said the monkeys
were
trained by Buddhist monks in remote 8zechuan province, where they had been taught to collect the pea crops.
"Only sacred monkeys are permitted to join the army," one correspondent explained, and he said anybody who doubted their existence was as good « taking a crack at Buddhism.”
The story originally came by way of Japan, where a Japanese newspaper correspondent mistranslated the word “miao," the name of a tribe of fierce Chinese warriors who recently joined the Nationalist army to fight the Japanese.
Miao, in Chinese, means ‘‘wild men," and the Japanese used their own character for "Wild men,” which happens to be the word they use for orang-utans, or Borneo apes.
The story drifted back to Shanghai. where Chinese newspapermen dusted it off and added details of their own. When this was doubted they produced dispatches from Szechuan, which told of the “monkey brigade” being loaned out to the Chinese army by the Buddhist monks.
growing out of two recent Ken articles — “Prelude to American Fascism” and "Exposing Native U.S Plotters,” — introduced a second letter from Warwick to Miss Sterling. in which he allegedly wrote that "important changes to be made in the work of the liberation” would be announced shortly ln the Silver Bhirt publication.
The letter was written at Sharon. Pa., November 30, 1936, and said that the organization was to go “under cover.” It added, however, that ‘‘there will be a few handpick-ed legion (Silver Shirt) heavyweights at work underneath the surface who will be keeping the legion fires going.”
In the letter Warwick said that he would communicate with "Doctor Doron," whom Gingrich identified as Dr. C. L. Doron, Cleveland osteopath. "alleged to have been the head of the Silver Shirts ln Cleveland."
