Put on the Dies Committee payroll as an investigator, he testified before it two months ago that the Bund, on the surface a minuscule singing, beer-bibbing and marching society, was in reality a hateful Nazi network with some 500,000 U.S. sympathizers. Last week Chairman Dies made a timely move by recalling Witness Metcalfe to repeat and amplify his previous testimony, having him dress in his Bund uniform for photographers...
