; AMERICAN INQUIRY. Activities Of Movement ! Revealed. i i YOUNG GIRL'.S EVIDENCE. United Press Association.—Copyright. ; (Keceived 12 noon.) -• WASHINGTON, August 18. J Fritz Kuhn, leader of the Bund, the [ German movement in America, comL pleted his testimony before the Dies Committee, which is investigating the question of un-American activities. He then stated to the Press that Mr. Martin Dies, the chairman, and other members of the committee, had as good as destroyed their political careers by attacking the Bund. The committee thereupon called to give evidence, Helen Vooros, 17 years old, a member of the Bund Youth Movement, who recited in detail the alleged immorality existing in various camps and aboard vessels en route to Germany when the \outli Movement members | visited Herr Hitler. Witness then explained the general purpose of the movement in the United States, saying that "the Bund was to open camps, buy property and form German settlements, then, when Germany offers aid to us we can say that here we have a German majority and we want to be part of Germany. "Blind leaders always found fault with the United States Government. They said it was controlled by a minority, namely, Jews, and was not taking care of other races." She said that the Youth Movement leaders preached that a girl should not be ashamed of having an illegitimate child if the father was a German. The Nazis also taught that "President Roosevelt had a streak of Jewish blood in him." , While in Germany American Bund youths were given a demonstration by a physician, on charts, of how sterilisation was performed because "the day might come in the United States when that information would be useful."
