Niemoeller was examined further today regarding details of his past. Then the roll call of witnesses was held. The Ger man public as a whole did not even know that the trial was being. held. as newspapers ignored it. But Nie- moeller's own parishioners took deep interest in the trial and in some Evangelical circles services were held daily, attended mostly by women.

Hollywood, Feb. 8. (UP)-Gustav Wally, the continental musical comedy star, rubbed his eyes in amazement today over the fact that the movies had made him rich man in one year, without letting him do lick of work. During the first six months he was here, he earned $500 week for doing noth- ing whatsoever. Then he got a 50 per cent raise. What for, l don't know" he said. Every Saturday night during his last six months as an actor who never got to act, the cashier handed him check for $750. His salary for his year of idle ness thus totaled more than three times that of an United States senator.
 Hollywood gave Wally $32,500, most of which he saved-and plans to take back to Europe, where he's certain none of his friends will be- lieve him when he tells of his ex- periences in never-never land. T don't even believe the story myself" {" he said. Here I've got all this money-It will be a fortune back in Denmark-and I haven't done a thing to earn it. haven't met any of the executives here at the studio. They didn't seem to be interested I hardly know anybody besides the cashier and old Jim, the gateman. "The money, though, is real. I've got it. The rest, well, it's in credible"

 First Reason Given
 The explosion. which was heard for many blocks and whose vibra- tion was felt throughout the neigh borhood. is believed to have been caused by fumes from leaking drum containing anti-freeze with an alcohol base, coming in contact with the flame of an oil stove used to heat the interior of the station. The interior of the station was virtually demolished, and the outside badly damaged by the explosion and the fire which followed.
 The four men were chatting when suddenly the explosion came. Biondi was blown through the door of the station into the yard outside. The other three were trapped inside, and
