Voss, is charged with implication
in an espionage plot so brash
that it envisaged the forging OF
President Roosevelt's signature to
requests for information on plans
for U. s. Navy aircraft carriers.

Rumrich, an Army deserter who
has pleaded guilty to the spy in
dictment and is now cast in the
role of star Government witness,
testified today that CHASER wrote
letters to soldiers Of German
American extraction. and sup
piled him with two names-"zim-
norman" in the Panama Canal
zone, and Gus Schmidt" on the
