Nuzi Princess HohenIohe
Vonishes After Expulsion
u. S. Also Orders
German Student
To Leave
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Princess Hohenlohe of Hungary,
once described in the British House
of Commons as notorious member
of Hitler's spy organization" had
orders from the Justice Department
today to leave the United States by
Saturday or face deportation pro-
ceedings.
Princess Hohenlohe is believed to be
in San Francisco. Efforts to learn her
plans failed when she dropped from
sight upon being advised of the Gov
ernment's action. She vanished last
night a few hours after Government
agents notified her in San Francisco
in the presence of Capt Fritz Wiede-
mann, German Consul General, of
the expulsion order. Efforts to find
her later failed, and attempts to
learn of her plans through Capt.
Wiedemann also were unsuccessful
when Wiedemann himself sought a
retreat where he could not be
reached.
Without formally disclosing the
ground for it's action, the department
rejected the Princess application for
an extension of her visitors permit.
Privately, however. it was made
clear by officials that her known
close association with Nazis rendered
her presence here ''inimical" to the
Nations best interests.
Student Also Ordered Out.
At the same time that the de-
partment's decision regarding the
Hungarian noblewoman was made
public late yesterday, Attorney Gen.
eral Jackson backed up the Immi-
grafton Service in ordering visiting
German student at Denver Uni
versity to leave the United States by
December 26.
The immigration Service said that
the student, 18-year-old Karl Scheu-
ring, acknowledged himself "a good
Nazi." While no evidence of subver-
sive activity existed, the service said
that good Nazis do what they are
told" and added that "a good Nazi
in the event of crisis will not hesl-
tate to betray the hospitality or a
country in which he is guest"
BY Saturday Princess Hohenlohe
will have spent exactly year in the
United States. She arrived at New
York December %, 1899, from Eng
land. 1t was at that time that a
Laborite member or Parliament
called her a Hitler spy and asked
why she was permitted to leave for
the United States Ito do that sort
of work over there"
During trial of a breach of con-
tract suit she brought in 1899 against
Lord Rothermere, English publisher,
a letter was read crediting her with
laying "the groundwork which made
the Munich agreement possible"
Rothermere Paid Her S250,00O.
The letter purportedly was writ
ten by Capt. Wiedemann. He was
quoted in San Francisco as saying
that as far as 1 can remember at
this time the letter is correct"
Lord Rothermere testified that he
paid the princess about $2500O0 for
less than six years service and de-
MED that he had promised con-
tractually to pay her 5000 pounds a
year for life.

Nazis, do what they are told.

Boosted Of Nazi Loyalty.
Karl Scheuring, by his own state
ment, is a good Nazi. Replying to
questions by an immigrant inspector,
he was frank. He said that he be-
lieved in the aphorism that might
makes right When asked if he was
in sympathy with the present Nazi
government. Scheuring answered,
yes He also boasted, I am sub
ject of Nazi Germany and proud
of it,
These statements are conclusive
as to the proper disposition of the
present application"
In Denver, when young Scheuring
was told he must leave the country
he told neWsmen II would like to
complete my studies here, but l have
no hesitancy over returning to Ger
many-if I can get there"
He did not dispute the "avoWed
Nazi" Characterization pinned on
him by the Government, but he as
serted he had not entered and did
not plan to join in any subversive
activities against the United States.
The stocky, bespectacled student,
son of Munich professor and a
Colorado-born mother, said he be-
lieved Hitler would be victorious in
the present war.
He insisted that the only purpose
of his United States visit was to
study at the university from which
his mother was graduated % years
ago. His mother, the former Lily
Schlumpf, was born at Russell Gulch
in gold-rush days. Scheuring has
lived in Denver with his grand
mother, Mrs. Lily Schlumpf.

house and not recognized by the
family.
A son, Prince Francis, was born
in Vienna the following December
and in December, 1920, her marriage
terminated in Budapest divorce.
Discussing the Scheuring case, the
immigration Service said that "in
times OF danger the hospitality of q
country ought not to be extended to
those who are committed in prin-
ciple to its abuse This opinion
merely makes explicit the views upon
which the service has been acting in
similar cases for some time"

The opinion recited that young
Scheuring came to this country July
20, 1899. with his mother, a native
of the United States who lost her
citizenship by marrying a German
and who has since returned to Ger

The youth presented the Nazi
viewpoint in a number of speeches
around Denver which aroused some
local excitement, both pro and CON-

The refusal to renew his permit
brough protests from "a substantial

Rome last night until the press and

acterization: British propaganda. :"
The Italians were lifted from the

600 Britons were captured and hun
dreds of tanks and other equipment
seized in smashing counteroffen-
Sive.
The authoritative II Giornale

Buick and Studebake|
Plants May Produce
WarpIane Engines
Negotiations Reported
Proceeding, With Great
Hope Of Success

Contract negotiations which con.
template the manufacture of vitally
needed warplane engines by the
Buick and Studebaker automobile
plants are proceeding with great
hope of success" National Defense
Commission source said today.
Contracts have not yet been
awarded. but it is expected by War
Department officials that they will
soon be concluded. The Defense
Commission source declared it was
contemplated that Studebaker would
manufacture air-cooled engines un-
der a licensing arrangement with
the Wright Aeronautical Corp, and
that Buick would be licensed by
Pratt & Whitney.
Boards Power broadened.
To help speed production of de.
fense material, including airplane
engines, President Roosevelt was
disclosed today to have broadened by
executive order the power of the new
Priorities Board to assure speedy de-
lveries by subcontractors as we'll as
primary contractors.
Since about 80 per cent of the air.
cooled engines are being made by
subcontractors and large part o1
other defense orders are similarly
being produced, the new order viii
empower the Army and Navy con.
tractor to obtain speedy deliveries
from his subcontractor.
The order requires that aside
from holders of Army and Navy
contracts, "all other Naval and
Army contracts and orders shall
take priority over all deliveries for
private account or for export"
The President acted under
authority granted by Congress to
set up the board, which was created
last month. Defense Commission
officials said the board had a policy
of depending on voluntary COM
pliance for the time being.
Questions of financing the new
warplane engine plants and OF
obtaining the necessary machine
tools for manufacturing the deli
cate machinery still are in the
negotiations stage. William S.
Knudsen, defense production chief
and former president of General
Motors Corp, of which Buick is a
division, was said by the Defense
Commission official to be participate
ing in the negotiations.
May Become Major Producer.
If the companies accept contracts,
the automobile industry may even
tually become the major producer
of warplane engines. Ford recently
obtained contract for $122, 900
to manufacture high horsepower
engines under license from Pratt
and Whitney. The Allison Engine
Co., a division of General Motors.
has been turning out liquid-cooled
engines for fast pursuit planes, while
Packard has obtained a contract to
manufacture British Rolls-Royce
engines, also for pursuit and inter-
ceptor craft.

attempted recently to boost produc-
ton, but a serious shortage in high
