U.S. NeZfte» bethcnative and Reproduotion of anyryearetc MA button dtstri- COPPER buted in South=- foreign born, have tried for mt © find a basis upon which all subversive groups in this country could be brought together. Realizing that such a movement demands an outstanding personality at its head, these elements conducted a continuous search for one who could emerge as the "Man on Horseback". 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 groupse . ern California site by well known Naat agitators. NRS herewith presents a factual report on happenings taking place at pres- ent in Los Angelese Developments which are unfolding hourly in this locale are strikingly similar to incidents in other cities, according to reports re- ceived from several sourcese An expose of activities in Los Angeles, there- fore, will serve as a blueprint of related operations in other parts of the country The Research Supplement accompanying this release gives background informa tion and documentary evidence throwing into bold relief the parallelisms be= tween présent movements and attempts made in years gone by to produce a "Man on Horseback". On March 16, last, at the Los Angeles Embassy Auditorium, Verne Marshall, of the now defunct "No Foreign War Committee", addressed the "Save Arerica ~ First" group, headed by T. W. Hughes, 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, embrac- ing all groups of a similar nature, was needede j 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 little from other Marshall addresses delivered during the course of his cross-country tour. But there was one exception which aroused his audience of Nazi listeners from lethargy. There was one remark, in fact a pronunciamento, which rekindled 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 opportune time, wio will unite all people who tink a3 you and I do; who shall tm- pose the will of the people upon the Washington adninistration.
