Mr. Speaker. the fol-. lowing quotations are from my remarks found on pages 3843 and 3845 of the bound volumes of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Seventyninth Congress. second session. during the debate leading to our vote to cite for contempt the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. which masks its underhand Communist work under that seductive and deceptive title: The New York World Telegram as long ago as 1941 published a series of articles accusing Dr. Barsky. executive director of the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. and many of his present associates of communistic activities. Among the directors we are today asking you to cite for contempt are several selfadmitted Communists and at least one who has been a candidate for public office in this country on the Communist ticket. Mr. Speaker. I urge Members of the House to read the printed hearings which report the testimony of these directors of the socalled Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee when we had them before our committee on April 4 of this year. They were completely noncooperative. They were consistently insolent. arrogant. and secretive.
