The House committee on un-American activities will investigate reports that German-American Bund agents are conducting a national campaign to recruit skilled American workers for employment in German munitions plants, it was announced today.
Representative John J. Dempsey (Dem.,N.Mex.) ordered the investigation in the absence of Chairman Martin Dies (Dem.,Tex.). Mr. Dempsey said he had been informed that Americans were being promised passage to Germany, good wages and a home if they stayed two years. The Army was stated to be also aware of the Nazi attempts.
