Silver Shirts Organizer Testifies Before Dies Committee
Henry D. Allen of Los Angeles testified that the Silver Shirts were barred from Los Angeles auditoriums from 1933 to 1935 due to alleged attacks on Jewish Communism. Representative Voorhis challenged the claim, saying venues were barred for attacking Jews, not communism. Allen described the group’s aim to rid government of Jews and communists, citing Jewish control of many halls and the need to use false names. The Dies committee noted efforts to secure appearances from former German officials as the hearing continued.
