C., he imported presses on which Fascist Pelley used to turn out his defunct Silvershirt organ, Liberation. He denied that Pelley had any connection with Fellowship Press, later admitted that he would publish Pelley's treatise on "metaphysics and esoterics...

Newsman Edward Throm of the Indianapolis Star discovered that the old box factory had been deeded not to Losey but to Agnes M. Henderson, named by the Dies Committee as Pelley's secretary...
