Congress Investigating
'American Action Drive
NEW YORK (JPS)—The Senate and House Campaign investi-
gating committees have begun a probe of "American Action Inc.,"
new right-wing political group formed from the remnants of the
pre-war America First Committee and the defunct Liberty League.
The new group, believed to have raised a fund of from $750,000
to $1.000.000 to defeat 187 liberal candidates for Congress whom
it terms "subversive," was organized almost a year ago and now
campaigns in a dozen states.
James Reston, New York Times correspondent and head of
its Washington staff, in an article on American Action Inc.. listed
some of the associates of the new group but failed to mention
that Franco propagandist Merwin K. Hart, Queens Coughlinite
leader. Robert M. Harriss and Upton Close, radio commentator
and writer frequently quoted in the native fascist press, are among
its sponsors. Mr. Reston describes American Action Inc. as a "loose,
somewhat vague organization" which "does not seem at this time
to be very influential." He quotes the organization's head. Edward
A. Hayes of Chicago. to the effect that it has collected only $50,000
so far and will be formed to reduce its activities. Later, in the
same story, Mr. Reston quotes Gen. Robert E. Wood; former head
of the America First Committee, a "contributor" to the new organ-
i7ation. who estimated its finances at about $110,000. According to
General Wood, American Action Inc. has nothing whatever to do
with the foreign policy of the United Slates. with which the original
America First Committee was primarily concerne,d, but Was organ-
ized to counter the political tactics of the CIO Political Actions
Committee.

ODER4 schoolroom
lighting is
carefully planned to provide the
best possible aid to study. Every effort
is made to keep that lighting at top
efficiency, because educators know that
good marks and good eyesight depend
on it.
But lighting at home is not always so
easy on young eyes. A light may glare
because the bulb is too large ot because
it's improperly shaded. Your child may
not complain, because he's grown ac-
customed to it—but that deceptive glare
can tire his eyes and brain, give him
B's where he should get A's. It may even
cause headaches or . harmful eyestrain.
There's no difference between the elec-
tricity in your son's school and that in
his home. No difference in the quantity
used. As far as the quality of lighting
goes—well, that's up to you. And the
safest way to really know that your
youngster's homework is easy on the
eyes is to arrange for an Edison Home
Service Advisor to call on you and
check your lamps and fixtures. She can
do this in a very few minutes . . . if
necessary, show how you can bring
your lighting up to schoolroom stand-
ards. There's no charge for her visit—
no obligation to you. And it's a rival
"ounce of protection" for your family's
eyesight!
FOUR WAYS TO GET THE MOST FROM
YOUR UGHTS

bulbs. shades and re.
ilector bowls clean.
