Not at this time. We. the undersigned. are the members of the executive board of the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. Then in this $2.640 ad they say this about your committee of Congress: As American citizens we can have nothing but contempt for the unAmerican activities of the WoodRankin committee. These persons not only were contemptuous in the committee room but they publicly went into the press and said how contemptuous they were of a committee of Congress. I want to tell you this: If you will read the printed hearings on every one of these persons who came before us and whom we are attempting to cite for contempt today. you will find they not only refused to show us the books. but they declined emphatically and insolently to answer most questions put to them.
