Unity 10 Defeat
Hitler Urged
Civil Defense Chief
introduced at RuIIy
By Mrs. Roosevelt

Mayor La Guardia, as director Of
civilian defense, last night called on
representatives of more than so
women's organizations for unity in
combating threat of totalita-
r1aniSm.
Addressing defense rally spon-
sored by the United Women's Or
ganizations in the Interdepartmental
Auditorium, the New York Mayor
declared that if America can in
crease the production of war mate
rails and not shrink from insisting
that deliveries be made where they
will do some good, the situation is
not hopeless.
Dressed in dark informal suit,
and introduced by Mrs. Roosevelt,
he said that if every factory turns
out just little more and if deliver
les are made on the dock in Great
Britain, Hitler cannot survive a
second winter and the war will be
concluded within the next year.
This may not be accomplished, he
warned, if action is prolonged and
if we engage in filibustsrs Even the
impression of divided opinion may
defeat the goal of victorious peace,
he added.
Urges Firm Stand.
stand firm and speak the only
language Hitler can understand
the language of force. That will
keep us out of trouble he told the
1,400 women present.
Discussing what he termed the
protective activities of the civilian
defense program, Mayor La Guardia
said that for Washington he would
urge strongly the training of special
air raid spoilers, auxiliary fire fight
ers and general rescue squads.
Should an enemy plane reach Bal
timore, ne pointed out, there would
be an extreme temptation for the
ship to come over Washington in an
attempt to do maximum damage.
In addition, Mayor La Guardia
suggested there was a great deal to
be done here in the way of recrea-
tional activities because of the large
!
military assignments.
The civilian defense director ex-
pressed the hope that this city and
its civilian defense office will be a
model for reference.

". T.-U. Director
Saws Sale Of Beer
Degraded Symphony
Brew at Pops Condemned
By Miss Elizabeth Snort
At District Convention

Sale of beer at the Riverside Sta
dium Pop" concert last week de
graded" the National Symphony
Orchestra to "the level of beer-gar-
den musicians" according to Miss
Elizabeth A. Smart, national legis-
lative director of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union.
Miss Smart expressed concern to
the 67th annual convention of the
District w. c. T. U. at the First
Congregational Church today that
music should be accompanied by
such a custom in the Nations Cap
ital.
Urging members to work toward
passage of the Shepherd bill now
pending before the Senate, she
asked that they write letters to
members of Congress and national
magazines protesting the sale of
beer in Army service clubs. The
bill also would prohibit sale of
liquor and establishment of places
of amusement within certain dis
tances of Army camps.
Furnishing arguments to refute
beer advertisements which claim the
beverage is non-intoxicating and
mountaineering. Miss Smart said a
single glass of beer had been dis
covered to affect certain persons as
quickly as stronger drinks. A subtle
attack is being conducted by brew
ers on American homes. Miss
Smart concluded, by advertisements
containing yelled threats that if beer
and other liquor is not served at
home, children will get it in unde-
sirable places elsewhere.
Meetings of the union will close
late this afternoon with a farewell
address by Mrs. Earle Whitley, presi-
dent. Mrs. Belle T. Pickett, vice
president, will preside over the days
sessions.

Court Will Sentence
Buroh on Friday
As German Agent
Government Valves
imprisonment; Akron
Lowyer to Pay Fine

Confessedly guilty of failure to
register with the State Department
as an agent of the German govern
ment, Frank B. Burch. prominent
Akron, Ohio. lawyer, will be SEN
fenced in District Court Friday
afternoon. Justice James w. Morris,
in Criminal Division 2, accepted the
guilty plea of the 67-year-old Ohioan
yesterday afternoon, and it was in
dicated that the penalty would be a
fine. The maximum sentence is
81 900 and two years in jail, but Will
liam P. Maloney. special assistant
to the Attorney General, who is di-
recting the prosecution, said the
Government was satisfied to waive
the jail sentence.
Burch is accused of having sent
isolationist propaganda throughout
the country at the instance OF DR..
Karl Kapp. German Consul at
Cleveland. He sought to plead guilty
Monday, but with the reservation
that he had not known he was re-
ceiving German money for the
propaganda activities, and on the
ground that his age made it i'm
possible for him to stand trial.
Justice Morris, however, insisted on
an unqualified admission of guilt.
Sent Flanders Hall Books.
Mr.. Maloney told the court that
Burch first came to the attention OF
the Justice Department through a
shipment of books of "a highly in
f1ammatory nature" from the pub
fishing house of Flanders Hall, Inc,
of Scotch Plains, N. j., which the
prosecutor said was financed by
George Sylvester Viereck, indicted
by the District grand jury few
days ago as Nazi agent. This ship
ment was traced to Burch, said Mr..
Maloney, and he was then brought
in to explain to the department why
he had purchased thousands of
these books.
According to Mr.. Maloney, Burch
declared that he had discussed the
foreign policy of the United States
with Dr. Kapp, believing the ad-
ministration's foreign policy to be
absolutely wrong" DR.. Kapp then
gave Burch several thousand dollars
in cash for pamphlets opposing the
lease-lend bill, related the prose-
cutor, and the defendant prepared
a mailing list of some 10000 names.
Burch, said Mr.. Maloney, received
additional sums from DR.. Kapp, and
again the defendant, at the direc-
ton OF the German consul, mailed
pamphlets throughout the country.
Transitions of German works were
among those distributed.
Did Not Know Viereck.
The defense interjected that
Burch had never heard of Mr..
Viereck, but dealt directly with
Flanders Hall. Mr.. Maloney made it
clear that the Government has no
desire to hinder Americans in ex-
pressing their views freely.
The defense told Justice Morris
that Burch had no knowledge of the
statute under which he was indicted.
Justice Morris said that he felt
the case was a serious one and in
the absence of mitigating circum-
stances would not dispense with the
Jail sentence until Mr.. Maloney told
the court that he felt the ENDS of
justice would be served if a maxi
mum fine is imposed and the i'm
position of sentence is suspended" Z"
He said that this should serve as a
warning to Americans not to become
entangled with German agencies.
