BERLIN, Dec. / Q.N.S).-The
German Department of Justice in
a surprise move today decided to
deport Miss Isable Lillian Steele,
young Californian imprisoned here
for more than three months, after
deciding she ''is not a professional
spy"
Miss Steele, a Hollywood girl
whose case had brought informal
representations by the American
State Department, will be deport'
ed in about 10 days.
Miss Steele's deportation was
decided upon after German au
thorities had become convinced
she was the tool of someone else
in espionage activities against the
State, and that she herself was
innocent.
Announcement of the move was
made by Under Secretary F'resler
of the German Department OF Jus
tice, who said:
eve have decided to release
Miss Steele because she is not
q professional syp. We have
proof that she tried to buy mill
tary secrets, but it is obvious
she is q mere amateur, and that
she will no longer be in danger
to Germany once she has left
the country"
Miss Steele simply is an ir-
responsible young American
girl who has just been used as
the tool of others
American Consul General Jen-
kins upon being informed Of the
German governments decision,
expressed satisfaction that his be-
lief Miss Steele was innocent OF
serious espionage charges had
been borne out.

dend at this time, and. further.
more, it was explained by
Treasury officials, it.would require
more than a month to make Q
disbursement Of this amount.
Neither win there be another
dividend ct the District National
Bank for some time, Treasury
officials said. This bank, likewise,
has d large sum Of money "on tap"
for the depositors, but the pay

counts there the full amount OF

Coast Guardsman Dies in Fight
To Bring Crew of Lake
Freighter Ashore

MUSHROOM, Mich, Dec. l
Q.N.SO SO.-Anothe chapter in the
heroic history of the Coast Guard
was written here today when 26
drenched, wave-battered and ex-
hausted sailors were rescued from
the wreck of the lake freighter
Henry Cort.
And another name-that Of
22-year-old Surfman John Dipert
was added to the Coast Guards
long honor roll of those who gave
their lives in line Of duty.
The Cort, a 315-foot whale

breakwater last night in a furi.

the rescue of the sinking ship, was
swamped by heavy seas. His Il
ancee. Miss Grace Burdick, 81
daughter of the MuskeGon Light
house keeper, watched him 90
forth to his death. He was the
son of Capt. william Dipert, ya'-
eran commander of the frankie
Coast Guard base.
All night the Cort lay at tha
mercy of the a 60-mile gale an1,
huge waves. All efforts to reach
her failed and the fate of he
crew was unknown until d. wn
With the first light of mornine a

q group of survivors huddled on
the aft section which was almost
submerged about so feet from the
end of the three-quarter mile
breakwater.
The boat was unable to reach
the wreck, which was breaking up
rapidly.

.0USTED AGENTS
STAY ON JOB
By international News Service

Ninety-five per cent of the alco-
hol tax agents east of the MiSsis-
sippi who were to have been dis.
missed today have elected to re-
main on the job without pay and
"take a chance" that legislation
will be passed at the next session
of Congress compensating them,
the Treasury announced today.
About 1000 agents had been
given notice of their dismissal.
Attorney General Cummings ruled
that, while there was no authority
to pay them under the Mcclellan
amendment to the appropriations
bill, they might remain on duty
status pending possible action a.
the next session of Congress.
Secretary Morgenthau will rec
ommend legislation to pay them
in full.
Dismissal of these men virtually
would wreck the Treasury'S liquor
tax collecting organization.
