PRICE AVERAGE DROPS
ON TREASURY BILLS
BY the Associated Press,

Ey tl!t AsSUcIdted PfebS.
The average accepted price for e1-
day Treasury bills dropped this week
to $4,000, compared with 99994
week ago.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau attributed the lower price to the
fact that the Treasury sold 100000
900 worth of the securities this week
and only s50,000.000 last week.
Last weeks price. which was equiva-
lent to borrowing money at 025 per
cent, was the best ever obtained in
the history of the Treasury. This
weeks price was equivalent to .o40

est when Voss talked of the gaso-
line storage in this model plane.
Jaenichen made him show exactly
how this was DONE
In this type plane the gasoline
was stored in compartments, rather
than separate tank. The COM
partments are located in the center
of the wings, close to the fuselage.
Still Hungry for Details.
The next time Jaenichen was still
hungry for details concerning this
ship. Spy headquarters wanted to
know exactly how the gasoline COM
partments were constructed and how
they were armored.
He drew a sketch for Jaenichen
to show exactly where the bomb
racks were under each wing and
drew another sketch to show the
exact location of the gun sight.
He explained to Jaenichen that
each plane was equipped with two
machine gunS-one on each side
mounted on the motor and under
the hood. He told Jaenichen that
.3O-caliber guns were standard for
these planes, but that a few carried
.5O-caliber machine guns. He showed
the spy messenger how the bullets
were fed into the guns and where
the bullet electors and ammunition
containers were set.

Aims found on Wilhelm Lonkowski
The films were then at Ga head

them. Perhaps Voss could throw
some additional light on them. Per-

American Consul, to verify the no.

quire deeply, not wishing to show
too much interest, hoping he would
be on board next time.
But later I discovered that Jaeni-

the time.

flashed to the ship in code, and the
crew manifest had been deliberately
faxed to prevent the United States

And suddenly, even to my mex
pert eye on aviation matters, the
answer became apparent. Put to-
gether, they formed blueprints OF
sections of an airplane.
But what plane?
I called Voss in and confronted
him with them. He was interested
as a crack airplane mechanic, but
he made not the slightest sign of
recognition or anything to indicate
that he had a guilty conscience re-
garding those blueprint photographs

kowski would come and photograph
them. He also gave Lonkowski q
lot Of verbal information and drew
sketches for him.
He denied giving secrets to any
one else. He admitted Lonkowski
promised he would be paid for his
services by Nazi spy headquarters.
But Gutenberg denied to me he got
any money. I don't know If he did.
His home and style Of living were
in keeping with his income and he
had less than $700 In the bank when
we nabbed him.
Gutenberg was called before the
Federal grand jury. Then we held
conference as to whether he should
be put in jail or placed under high
bail.
My superiors decided that it was
safe to let him loose until wanted.

Immediately and went down to get
him.

He was nice, clean-cut chap with
an open, honest face.
I talked to him in an upstairs
bedroom Of his house from l pm. to
7 pm. He broke easily and while
he told some preposterous lies, they
seemed desperate effort to save
himself and his family.
Here is his story:
He was born in Hamburg, Ger
many.
In May, 1917, he was drafted into
military service.
He arrived here in 1928 and with
in two months had a job as a me-
chanic at the Ireland Aircraft Corp.
He was delighted to find working
there two men from Germany, of
about his age, who had come over
at almost he same time he did. The
men were Voss and Lonkowski. Voss
he had known in Germany and he
was delighted to find a familiar face.
Talks Of Duty.
He lost track of Lonkowski, he
says, but kept corresponding with
Voss. He heard nothing of Lon
kowski, he claims. when suddenly

Lonkowski sort Of worked him into
the plot before Gutenberg quite
realized what was happening.
Over few beers Lonkowski hint
ed he was Nazi spy. Then he let
slip that Otto Voss, their old friend,
was giving him a lot of information.
He told Gutenberg how safe it was
because he, Lonkowski, personally
took the information to the Ger
man ships docking at New York and
turned it over to trusted agents.
Then he talked of the fatherland,
and every Germans duty to it.

Another of those old-fashioned
melodramas will be the attrac-

the two weeks beginning tonight.
'"The Miners Daughter" or THE
Fatal Confession" lacks none of
those robust qualities that have
made "mellers" so popular with
barn theater audiences.
This one has a New England
setting and it is concerned with
a dastardly villains efforts to
make beautiful and innocent
young girl his bride. Her foster
father unwittingly played right
into the blackguard'S hands by
carelessly leaving an incriminat-
ing document on the table! And
it is from this unhappy incident
that the thrilling conflicts of
the play develop.

trip next Monday, August l, as
the entire house has been
bought out for that perform
ance by the Young Republicans

Arrangements have been made
to secure a larger bus or an addi-
tional one for tonight, so there
will be sufficient seats to accom-
modate all who would normally
come the second Monday, in ad-
dition to the "first-nighters."

Light Brigade
At Little

Enrol Flynn and Olivia De
Havilland, romantic stars of
Robin Hood" and Captain
Blood" are being seen this week
on the Little Theater screen in
a revival of THE Charge of the
Light Brigade" This film, sug-
gested by Alfred Lord Tenny-
sons poem of the same name,
is one of the more lively pictures
of the spectacle" type to come
out of Hollywood. The direction
of Michael Curtiz in the
Charge" scenes is a superb ef-
fort.
The blundering assault in the
Crimean war is a historical
fact. 1t is entertaining, how
ever, with the romantic tale in
volving two brothers and a
woman, beginning at a British
outpost in India, and being eli
NAKED with the spectacular cav
airy movement.
The Little is offering another
interesting item on its program
this week. 1t is "Bolero," at
tractive perturbation of the
Ravel composition. Faithful re-
cording of the music and color
full scenes have been combined
to make this short subject of
definite importance.
