Oman Fired for
Signing to Write
Of Spy Inquiry

WASHINGTON, July 1 (UP) =
The justice department said today
that Leon G.. Turrou had been
dismissed with prejudice" from
the federal bureau of investigation
when it was learned that he hadn't
contracted to write series of
newspaper articles on Nazi spy
ring activities in New York.
Turrou was one of the G-men
whose investigation resulted in the
Indictment of 18 men and women
on charges of espionage in New
York last week.
Turrou said he was not aware of
the nature of a statement he sign
ed forbidding him to write of his
activities as a federal agent.
Turrou said that if Director j.
Edgar Hoover "noW proposes to
hold me firmly to statement
signed casually. while he continues
to secure a huge income from his
own writings in addition to his
salary from the government, shall
take steps at once to see that these
rules about writing are applied
equally to all members of the FBI,
from the lowliest agent to the di-
rector himself.

Hitler Adopts
Role of Messiah
In Latest Book

LONDON, July |. CUP) - The
Daily Herald today published dis
patch from an anonymous special
correspondent" which stated that
Adolf Hitler is putting the finish
ing touches to a book in which he
describes a new form of religion
embracing all people of pure Nordic
stock.
Hitler himself will be the spiritual
founder of the new religion, the
dispatch said The volume will
amplify "Mein Kampf.'
The correspondent said that the
political implications of the book
are tremendous since it contains a
broad hint regarding the division
of spheres of influence in Europe
between italy and Germany and
implies that all other European
countries will have to subordinate
themselves to those two leader
nationS"-Latins and Nordics.
The correspondent said that the
book "stigmatizes" Soviet Russia
as an Asiatic power which must be
kept out of Europe.
The appearance of the book, he
said, probably will mark a new
turn in Germany's foreign policy
and that therefore the date OF pub
lication probably will be carefully
chosen in relation to international
affairs.

Must Make Reports

Mclaughlin emphasized strongly
the need for reporting acreages,
whether or not the farmers intend
to grow wheat in 1899.
There is definite advantage in
dollars and cents" Mclaughlin said,
"in reporting, if a farmer ever in
tends to grow wheat again. Besides
losing out on 1893 benefits, he will
lose out on a chance to obtain 1899
benefitsl'
Individual wheat allotments for
both 1888 and 1889 will be issued
soon after Aug. l, Mclaughlin pre-
dicted. The 1888 quotas are late, he
explained, because of the lateness
of congressional action. However
even though the 1888 crop has al
ready been harvested, this years
acreage figures are important in
figuring the 1899 quota and subse-
quent benefit payments fro the gov

For Farmers Benefit
Roland Ballou, chairman of the
county agricultural committee, add
ed emphasis to McLaughlins state
ment by pointing out that coopera-

Attorney James D. c. Murray explained today that he intends to exhaust all of Mayor Hayes avail able eight challenges today. Four had been utilized at the start of court.
 It is understood that this plan is necessary to the formation of a basis for appeal if that be neces- sary. Unless @ defendants eight peremptory challenges have been exhausted, there is no basis for an appeal to the supreme court on the grounds that the trial judge refused to disqualify 8 venireman on motion of counsel.
 From the beginning of the trial, the challenges have been rotated, that is each of the defendants has taken a turn in exercising chal- lenge. In that way no defendant would exhaust all his eight chal- lenges far in advance of any other.
 Present plans call for each de- fendant to exercise eight consecu- tive challenges.
