With the Nazi internecine war due to come to a head in Supreme Court here before Justice Louis A. Valente this morning, Representative Samuel Dickstein revealed yesterday that he intends to go before the State Legislature in Albany early next month to urge that body to adopt a program for investigation of subversive activities in New York, framed along lines similar to those laid down by the Congressional Committee of which he is vice-chairman.
Congressman Dickstein also plans to ask President Roosevelt to request the recall of Dr. Hans Luther, German Ambassador to the United States, on the ground that the envoy purportedly has been too active in encouraging the spread of Hitlerism in this country, he said.
TO ASK PROBE OF CONSULS
He expects further to ask the State Department to “investigate certain consuls, who have been actively engaged in aiding the Friends of New Germany.”
Dickstein will leave this morning for a short vacation in Bermuda. He hopes to obtain a thirty-day extension for the House committee, to give it time to prepare a complete report.
In Supreme Court today injunction proceedings brought by Henry Woisin, national treasurer of the League of Friends of New Germany and a lieutenant of Dr. Hubert Schnuch, the Nazi organization’s national president, against Anton Haegele, leader of the separatist Nazi putsch, will be heard.
