Dies. What made Walter Krivitsky a valuable witness for Chairman Dies is that he fitted together for the first time the vast mass of unsavory evidence that the Dies Committee has gropingly assembled, gave it an intelligible pattern.

...usual dining hall solicitation, propaganda, and lapel buttons--students have been asking just what they are expected to join. They want to know whether a policy is to be formulated, and if so, how and what. They feel that the vague program of discussion, publicity, and opposition to "mass fatalism" is negative and incomplete.
