WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (UP)-
Acting Secretary of the Navy

it's blimp program to keep alive
experiments with lighter-than-air

Kuhn Conviction
Blow to NoziSm

NEW YORK, Nov. 80. (UP)-Fritz
Kuhn, the Nazi fuehrer for the
United States, was locked in
Tombs prison cell today and enemies
of his movement saw in his convic-
ton of larceny a body blow to Am
erican Nazism.
Anti-Nazis expressed themselves
privately. They gathered around
Prosecutor Herman j. Mccarthy,
assistant district attorney, when the
verdict was returned last night,
to congratulate him.
The jury had found him guilty
of grand larceny and forgery in his
handling of the funds of the Ger
man-American bund.
He received the verdict with a
poker face and marched off Stoical-
ly to Jail to await his sentence,
which Judge James G. Wallace
announced would be imposed Tues
day. He is liable to 80 years i'm
prisonment.
The IL businessmen of the Jury
deliberated eight and a half hours
Imperial Valley press., 1939-11-30

before deciding that he had stolen
$1,2l7 from the bund. The original
indictment had accused him of
thefts totaling more than $4,000,
but two of the IL counts were sever
ed before the trial began and Judge
Wallace threw out five others for
lack of evidence.
Kuhn was convicted of the five
remaining counts. Under the first
two he was guilty of first and Sec
ond degree grand larceny in taking
SIT from the bund treasury to pay
for moving the furniture of his
Golden Angel" Mrs. Florence
Camp, across the country. She tes-
titled that she repaid 5000 which
the state contended he had pocket
ed.
He was guilty of second degree
larceny in embezzling a $500 legal
fee which he had pretended to pay
to Attorney James D. G. Murray
and two counts of forgery in con-
cealing this theft with false entries
in the bund's accounts.

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Nov. 80.
UP)-Police were confronted with
several puzzling circumstances to-
day in their investigation of the
shooting of Walter Bud" Lyons,
star Colorado State college fullback,
by his fiancee, Lois Jeanne Van
norsdel, 10, a coed.
Lyons himself had suggested one
motive as he lay fully conscious
but in a critical condition at City
hospital. He said his love for her
had grown cold, that he had told
her SO and asked for his class ring
which dated the beginning of their
romance eight months ago.
She got a small pistol and shot
him then, he said, twice just above
the heart. When he reached the
hospital he had lost so much blood
surgeons feared to operate. Blood
of several volunteers was typed and
a first TRANSMISSION was to be given
early today.

A colored man sat for more than
an hour today on the edge Of the
roof Of a downtown Office building,
trying to decide-while hundreds
watched in horror from the street
below-between life and death. A
young lawyer, after pleading and
arguing with the man, succeeded in
Turing him to safety.
Scene of the drama was the roof
Of the eight-story Victor Building,
at Ninth street and G place NV.
An employe of the building, David
Dickerson, 20, saw the man mount
ledge that runs around the roof
of the structure and police were
summoned.
Charles Houck, superintendent of
the building, approached the man
first, cautiously asking him what he
was doing The man motioned Mr.
Houck away, indicating that he
would jump if the superintendent
came closer.
Policemen Question Him.
Mr.. Houck retreated at a signal
from police, who were watching him
from adjoining windows. Police
men A. R. Helwig and White Alex
ander tried to question the man
from distance of about 20 feet.

say to them.
At this point, Herbert B. Hulse, 26,
of 1871 Hobart street NV, came
onto the roof He is employed by
the Victor j. Evans Co., which has
offices in the building. Mr.. Hulse
approached the man quietly.
Where are you FROM" he asked.
North Carolina" the man replied.
$50 am T. said Mr.. Hulse.
He offered him cigarette and the
man accepted. Then he began to
plead with the colored man. Mr..
Hulse asked him why he wanted to
jump and the man said that he was
sick and jobless. Mr. Hulse promised
him help.
Talks With Two Women.
The colored man said he thought
he would like to talk to some woman.
Veronica Devlin, a police woman, and
Edith Lancaster, clerk who works
in the building, were summoned.
They stood behind Mr.. Hulse and
talked to the man.
1t was about Ills when he was
first noticed and at 1920 Mr.. Hulse
was able to get to his side. During
the entire conversation, Mr.. Hulse
had been edging closer. Suddenly,
he seized the colored man, who
tumbled off the ledge and back

Al actor in War,
Norris Asserts
Barbour Undecided
On Repeal; Frozier
Would Keep Ban

Senator Norris, Independent, Of
Nebraska declared today that fail
ure of Congress to amend the Neu-
trality Act last session was "one
of the influences that started the
present European war"
I'm not saying the war would
not have started anyway, but I
believe the arms embargo was q
factor" Senator Norris said, ex-
planning the world knew it would
prevent France and England from
using their superior sea power to
obtain supplies in this country
The Nebraska veteran, only pres
ent member of the Senate who
cast his Senate vote against the
United States entry into the World
War, said he had mo sympathy
with Hitler, Mussolini or Japan"
but that he opposed "our country
being drawn into the anticipated
world conf1agration."
He expressed his support for the
administrations proposal to strike
the arms embargo from the law
in order to sell supplies to belliger-
ents on cash-and-carry basis.
Others Express Views.
Other Senators expressed their
views on the issue today as they
arrived for the special session Of
Congress.
Senator Barbour, Republican. of
New Jersey, said If it were shown
that we can 90 on cash-and-carry
basis without getting into the war
ourselves" he would work and vote
that way
But" he added, "if I feel that
such action will draw us into war,
shall work and vote the other way
for. above all, the safety. protection
and security Of the United States is.
In the final analysis, our essential
and only responsibility.
II have no commitments or reser-
vations for or against revision of the
Neutrality Act. or with respect to
any other legislation that might be
considered at this special session."
Neely Favdfs Repeal.
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of West
Virginia said he was going to vote
to end the embargo, while Senator
Frazier, Republican. of North Da-
kota declared he felt repeal of the
embargo would be a step right into
the war"
The sentiment of the people, Z"
Senator Frazier declared, sis practi-
cally unanimous against going into
a foreign war. Judging from the
protests coming in regarding the
Presidents proposal for repeal, it
seems the President will have a
mighty hard time putting it across. :"
Senator Hughes. Democrat, of
Delaware. declaring he favored re-
peal OF the embargo provision, said:
II the nations Of Europe want
to come here and buy arms and
ammunition, pay for it and take
1t away in their own boats, they
should be allowed to do so. I feel
the special session should not last
very long. hope not. The less we
talk, the better"
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, generally a supporter of
the administration, went on record
against lifting the embargo. He
said he would be willing to re-estab-
llsh the cash-and-carry principle
which expired last May, but con-
fined to commodities other than
munitions of war.
Senator Smathers, Democrat, of
New Jersey reiterated his belief that
the best insurance for American
neutrality would be the immediate
repeal of the embargo
