Although not brought out specifically
in the formal hearing. 1t was the opin-
ion of the postal inspectors that a ma
tive of Austria who left that country
to escape military duty. and managed
to get out of that strictly guarded
country on such a limited passport as
ne carried. should be held on large bail.
The letters which Neuwirth advertised
he would sent to Austria were purely
personal. it was brought out. Testi-
mdhy showed that he charged s1.06 to
send the letters. Postal inspectors
testified that if the letters could have
been sent legitimately at this time they
could have been sent for vastly small
er sum than that.
The Red Cross this week discontinued.
at the request of the State Department
its work of sending personal letters to
persons in Germany and Austria.
Neuwirth came to Washington about
July 1, and shortly thereafter started
his advertisements in Polish. Transla-
tons were read at the hearing. He had
no Office other than his bedroom. When

Claimed Agent in Holland.

Harvey Given. assistant district at

prisoner was operating under the name
of the Universal Polish Aid Corpora
ton and that he claimed to have a
man in Holland who would forward the
letters received from Poles throughout
this country into Polish Austria.
Witnesses testified to the effect that
the defendant had received more than
200 letters. which he said he hoped to
send to Austria. but none of Which had
been sent. Post Office inspectors testi-
fed that there is today no legitimate
means for getting letters to Austria or
Germany.
1t was brought out by testimony that
Neuwirth had left Vienna, Austria, on
passport allowing him to travel in
Italy, Germany, Austria and Holland.
The defendant had admitted to the
postal inspectors, it was testified, that
he had left Austria because he wished
to escape military duty in that coun-
try.
