Espionage Contact Man In
Germany Told Him What
to Find Out
HOW MANY SOLDIERS
ALONG EAST SEABOARD
How Many Troops Were
Stationed in Area Of
New York City

New York, October 10. -
(UP) - Guenther Gustave
Rumrich, confessed Nazi spy,
testified In federal court to-
day that an espionage con-
tact man In Germany had
given him a specific assign
inent TO find out how many
soldiers the United States
kept along the eastern sea-
board and particularly how
many troops were stationed
In the New York City area.
His contact man, he said, was one
Sanders, with whom he had been
placed In communication after he
had sent letter to Colonel w. Nlco-
lai. author Of German spy text
book, through Adolf Hitler's news
paper, the voelkischer Beobachter
In Berlin.
Ruinrich, whose confession
touched off the spy inquiry and re-
suited In the indictment OF 10 per-
sons including himself and the three
defendants In the present trial. came
into court today chewing gum. He
draped his lank body casually In
the witness chair, rested his face
on one hand and spoke IN Q slow
but confident voice.
AcCuDed Spies watch Him
Watching him intently were Pri-
vate Erich CHASER OF the u. 8. Army,
who Is accused Of stealing an ayia-
ton code, Miss Johanna Hofnantl,
alleged messenger for the spy ring,
and Otto Herman Voss. who Is
charged with stealing and trans
hitting the plans for an army pur-
suit plane.
Ruimrich brought the German
war ministry into the picture--the
government contends this ofncial
Nazl bureau had direct charge OF es-
pionago activities-in discussing an
exchange with Sanders concerning
financial remuneration.
Under the questioning OF Assistant
u. 8. Attorney Lester q. DUNCAN,
he testified he had been asked 10
get from the government printing
once two copies OF q catalogue OF
army and navy publications. Later,
he said. Sanders wrote him IN "very
abrupt" fashion, chidin CHIN for his
lack Of promptness.
Heard Nothing fer Menths
There was O period Of Ave or six
months, he testified, during which
he heard nothing from Germany.
Then he received q letter, mailed In
New York, IN which Sanders de-
