House support for the Dickstein resolution calling for a broad Congressional investigation of Nazi propaganda activities in the United States was assured today with the announcement that the House Democratic steering committee has sanctioned the proposal. As a result of a secret meeting of the steering committee, composed of House leaders, it was learned that an agreement had been reached by the group not to sidetrack the Dickstein resolution. The committee is an unofficial one, but wields great power in directing the course of legislation.
The fact that the committee will not stand in the way of immediate action on the resolution practically assures a favorable report to the House by the Rules Committee. This report is expected in the next few days. It is likely that the resolution will come up for debate and for a vote in the House a day or two after the report is made.
