Congressmen thought that the rormaticn o",- such a committee might 0,7- ludice tgeir 'chances in the forthcoming elections, the proposal was

not acted upon. In 1936 DOBOS and Roger BALDWIN founded the MedicalBureau of American Friends of Spanish Democracy, with DOBOS as sect- •retary of the' organization. -Some prominent members were Dr CANNON of

15. 1938 marked a change in DOBOS' political orientapon. rtAtil-1936,-he had gladly follo-ed . Comintern •policy because he believed.

.. in the ideal o f Communist revolution. HoWever_t_in . view o" the fact .that the Comintern became primarily an instrunt of Russian national-Ism, he . found.himself more and more in disagreement with the Comin-tern's viewpoint. Many of his old friends were eliminated in thePoscow purges of 1936 and 1937, ihich_alienated him even further:

_However, it was only when his guide snd rentor Willi MENZENBERG was. expelled trom Ithe Party in 1938 that DOBCS resigned,' protesting inAlis*

letter of resignation-against UUERZEMERG's expulsion. DOBO6 does notfear Communist reprisals but asked that his name never be given as a.

•source of information about the activitirt of the party. . -16. In 1938. 11111 MUENZENBERG founded atjeatunt.t a newspaper

dedicated to bringing about a united democratic front with the ex-clusion of the Communists. DOBOS contributed about three articles a•week ..rhich were published under his pen-name "JEFPERSONIAN". Although.he was considered a specialist on Central European affa4s1'..haalsowrote articles about Latin America, the Lima Conference, the New Deal,and Roosevelt's 'foreign policy. During the same time, he also handled-. German news for Parts Eoir. DOBOS received news 40%happeninga in . •- Germany through former•members of t ,-e . Gerian Railway Workers' Union.'(Gelferkschaft Deutsche? 'Eisenbahner). Dais information was brow* 4 'into the Basel (Switzerland) railroad station by train engineers•who,unlike the passengers o" the trains were never controlled by , the

..Geatapo. Once inside the Basel station, a Swiss railway trade tinionist.rho was'servicing the engine would take the letter or package .from.the German engineer and take it home with him. There it would be picked

up by Robert LORETTE, the,Ewiss . representative of brie 'o or his .courier. LORETTB in turn rould send the news on to Paris. the informs..tion thus. received was not only uied in the Paristotr but alioappeared in 'Ganes Heft, the organ of.the German Social Democrat Partyih exile. .
