The Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League announced today that Prof. James H. Sheldon of Boston would appear before the Senate sub-committee scheduled to start hearings tomorrow on a resolution empowering an investigation of propaganda movies. Prof. Sheldon will offer evidence of Nazi propaganda activity in the United States through films, some of which are imported via South America.
The sub-committee, which includes Senator Wheeler among its members, has been accused of instigating the film investigation with the intent of showing “Jewish domination” of Hollywood.
