Martin Dies : ~_To Address Winnetka Sunday Evening Club United â€" States Representative Martin Dies, who will speak in the New Trier high school gymnasium Sunday, Jan. 5, under sponsorship of the North Shore Sunday Eveâ€" ning club, with coâ€"operation of the American Legion, has won a naâ€" tionâ€"wide reputation for dogged deâ€" termination in his efforts to bring to light subversive unâ€"American acâ€" tivities. se R The 39â€"yearâ€"old militant repreâ€" sentative from the second district, Orange, Tex., was little known outâ€" side the state of Texasâ€"three years ago. His investigations and disclo= sures first brought him to public atâ€" tention. . The national defense proâ€" gram has brought Congressman Dies more into the limelight and there is scarcely a day that he does not make a headline in the daily press. Because he was so little known a brief time ago there are naturally many who are now quesâ€" tioning the sincerity of his activiâ€" ties and are anxious to see and hear him in person. ; w4 In 1938 his committee was finally created by congress and the modest sum of $25,000 appropriated, even in view of the $5,000â€"aâ€"day cost of any thoroughâ€"going investigation. Inexperience, lack of funds, absence of sound investigators and probably an urge to make headlines, resulted in seme blurders by the committee and Dies. & â€"â€"His congressional â€"investigating committee came into being after the period in 1937 and 19388 when an insistent demand spread through the country for more public inforâ€" mation regarding unâ€"American and antiâ€"American activities in Amerâ€" ica. (The American Legion was especially active in this move and Dies became a leader, for he had been the sponsor of a series of unâ€" successful proposals to restrict imâ€" migration and to deport undesirable aliens. > Tickets may be obtained in Highâ€" land Park from the following: J. B. Garnett and company; Earl Gsell Drug company, and Highland Park pharmacy. Former Resident s Dies In California Mrs. James W.

New Order Became Effective At Midnight Tuesday A new record system has been inâ€" stalled by Chief Rex Andrews, which became effective at midâ€"night Tuesday in the Highland Park Poâ€" lice department. j The system includes a complaint sheet for every complaint, which will be filled out by the officer reâ€" ceiving said complaint. Full data concerning the cemplaint will be made in a written report by the ofâ€" ficer who gets the complaint, includâ€" ing the investigation and the results pertaining to it. These records will be filed. The advantage of these new sysâ€" tems is to keep a little closer check on the service rendered by the Poâ€" lice department, and to assist in compiling a more complete monthly report. $ P Many residents are not aware of the diverse services rendered the citizens of this city by the local force, and through this medium the Chief believes his department will be more able to show what the tax payers are really getting for their money.
