In Plot Against u. s.

Indictments Bused on
Communists Activities,
Attorney Charges
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April GA picture
of law-abiding men planning to
block a Communist front" as op-
posed to Federal charge that they
plotted to overthrow the United
States Government emerged today
from Introductory statements in the
trial of II men accused of seditious
conspiracy
Leo Healy, counsel for II of the
II, outlined his defense yesterday
by telling a Federal Court jury:
"It is the Communist front which
has conspired to overthrow good
government. If there was any con-
spiracy at all, there was a con-
spiracy on the part of these II de-
PENDANTS to overthrow the Com
munist front-the very foundation
of which is to overthrow the United
States Government and everything
that's good"
PrOvOcateurs Blamed.
Mr.. Healy charged the indictment
was based on the activities of two
provocateurs planted" by the Com
munist government of Russia, the
Communist party of New York State
and certain officials holding high
Government positions in Washing
ton with a view to discrediting the
Christian front.
In his opening address United
States Attorney Harold M. Kennedy
made it clear "that the Christian
front is not on trial here, nor is any
race, creed or religion on trial"
The sole issue, he said, was
whether the defendants actually
plotted against the Government,
and stole firearms from armories.
AS court adjourned for the week
end, Dennis A. Healy, a Brooklyn
National Guardsman and civil en-
gineer, still was on the stand as a
Government witness.
He testified he posed as a member
OF the accused group. after consul
tation with agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
Participated in Meetings.
Mr.. Healy said he had participated
in numerous meetings of the alleged
plotters, reporting developments to
the F. B I.
Refreshing his memory fire.
quently from a brown notebook, Mr..
Healy declared that Claus Ernecke,
one Of the defendants, urged him to
join an organization to which
Ernecke belonged "as a machine
gunner and machine gun instructor"
Refreshing his memory fire.
that the organization had a men,
bership of more than 100000, with
members from high in city, State
and Federal Governments.
"The Jews would be incited to
revolution" Ernecke told me, land
we would step in and take over. He
told me that Hitler also started with
a small group and that if we got in
on the ground floor we could be the

Johnny's other name is "Gentoo,"
which means a Hindu. He would
be just as intriguing by any other

Johnny is one of four kinds to be
found in large numbers in the
Falklands. Capt. Edmund Tanning
discovered vast numbers of them at
this location in October, 1897.
No one ever confuses Johnny with
any other bird. The white hllet is
one of the most characteristic
marks, and his strange ambling
walk is another. Besides being the
largest penguin, he is the only one
to have white markings on his head.
His new plumage is almost black,
and when old and worn it is a
shabby brown. He has orange
colored feet, black claws, and a red
or orange bill. This general ensemble
is further embellished with white.
Altogether, Johnny is a handsome
fellow.
But what is far more important,
Gentoo is a perfect gentleman. AS
husband and father, he is above
reproach. AS neighbor, he is more
than average, with the exception of
the time when nursery construction
and caring for the babies occupy his
entire thought. Then self interest
flares and the golden rule is thrown
to the winds.
The luxuriant environment, to-
gether with the milder climate of
the Falklands, provides a home
flowing with endless wealth for
Johnny and his bride. No followed
out nursery, with stones for mat

There are twigs and stalks in
abundance; even bark can be peeled

Expert RifIeman
Halls Prow|er With
Two Quick Shots
Navy Man on Leave
Shoots Youth Attempting
To Enter Friends Home

Thanks to q bit Of homework
last night by a Navy Yard expert
rifleman on weekend leave, resi-
dents Of 124 Q street NV, were
confident today they would not be
annoyed by one prowler for a while.
Two shots, one at a running tar
get, by John Burchett, 32-year-old
machinist's mate visiting friends,
brought down colored youth
householders said had made re-
peated attempts to break in the
house.
Mr.. Burchett and Miss Margaret
Weaver were playing cards with
Miss Weaver's sister and brother
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert STAN
ton, in the living room of the
Stanton's first-f1oor apartment. It
was shortly after II pm. They had
discussed the probability Of the re-
turn of the prowler who had tried
to enter the apartment on several
nights recently. Three nights earlier
police had been called, but the
prowler eluded them. Later that
same night, Mr.. Burchett said, he
saw some one fleeing across the
back yard.
Last night, Mr.. Burchett related,
they first heard noises in the base
ment. The intruder tried the door
leading into the anartment from
the basement, then a door con-
Meeting the living room and out
side hallway and, finally, the back
porch screen door. At that point
Rif1eman Burchett went into action.
II snatched up a .38-caliber deer
rifle that Mr.. Stanton had bor-
rowed," he said. Through the glass
in the back door could see a figure
at the screen door across the back
porch. He was reaching in his
pocket, for all knew, for a pistol.
So took quick aim and shot
through the glass.
II could see I'd hit him, but he
ran. 1 yelled. Don't run or I'll
shoot!' but he kept going. I opened
the door, ran to the back yard and
fired again as he started down the
alley. That second shot stopped
him"
The youth, with wounds in the
abdomen and thigh, was reported
IN good condition at Freedmen's
Hospital today.
