 Everywhere smoke was rising and everywhere hits of bomb craters were visible,' the DNB said in running account of what appeared to be the biggest aerial battle in the history of warfare.

Action on a recommendation that
conspiracy c charges be brought
against Fritz Wiedemann, German
consul-general at San Francisco,
today was left up to U. S. Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson
u. S. Commissioner David B Head
yesterday advised Federal District
William F. Palmer to issue COM
plants against Wiedcmann and
Herman Loeper, chancellor of the
San Francisco consulate.
He made the recommendation at
a hearing of Herbert HOehne, 20
year-old German pharmacist. who
was sent back to jail in S25 900 bond
and ordered held for grand jury
action. Hoehne was arrested two
weeks ago on charges of violating
the federal law that requires agents
of foreign governments to register
with the secretary of state whine
they enter this country.
Head said the facts show
that Hoehne was personally deliv-
ering consulate mail to several con-
Sulates. Wiedemann must have
known that he had not registered as
an agent of the Geramn govern
ment and it is my opinion that he
and Loeper committed an overt act
when they conferred with Hoehne
without reporting his presence
