During the past week a new organization made its appearance on the. nation-
al scene, the "National Copperhead Association". U.S. Nazfe» bothonative and

The nation-wide publicity, resulting from the Roosevelt-Lindbergh contro-
versy, hag given new hope to Nazi sympathizers who are looking for a leader in
order to unify all subversive groups.
NRS herewith presents a factual report on happenings taking place at pres-

country.
The Research Supplement accompanying this release gives background informa.
tion and documentary evidence throwing into bold relief the parallelisms bee
tween présent movements and attempts made in years gone by to produce a "Man

On March 16, last, at the Los Angeles Embassy Auditorium, Verne Marshall,
of the now defunct "No Foreign War Committee", addressed the "Save Anerica ©
First" group, headed by T. W. Mughes, well known to NRS readers. Marshall's .
audience was largely composed of Nazi Bundits who were discouraged by vain ef-
forts in the past and who felt that they were too small for the huge task they
had set for themselves. Inherently, they knew that a large movement, embrace
ing all groups of a similar nature, was needede |
The "No Foreign War" leader's speech, one of many presented in the heat of
the campaign to prevent passage of the Lend-Lease Bill, differed littIe from
other Marshall addresses delivered during the course of his crossecountry tour.
But there was one exception which aroused his audience of Nazi listeners from
lethargy. There was one remark, in fact a pronunciamento, which rekirdled the
dying flame of hope in the hearts of those who heard him say, in part:
We must continue our work. We must not be disheartened by apparent set-
backs, We must stick together, for a leader will arise at the oppor tung
time, wo wil unite all people o tink aS you and I i Qo Sha n=
pose the will of the people upon the Washington administrations
