busy G-men and persons far away
who enter on the scene only by
name, like Sebold's Nazi mentor,
Nikolas Ritter, alias DR.. Rankin,
indicted as a co-conspirator, who is
safe in Germany.
1t was this man, Mr. Sebold said,
who told him in Hamburg that the
Germans already possessed the vital
particulars of the Norden bomb
sight. this country's most closely
guarded defense weapon.
Instructed to Build Station.
Likewise, it was from DR.. Rankin
that Mr. Sebold said he got instruc-
| tionS to build the secret radio sta
| ton when he visited Germany in
l939-he was given $1,000 and a set
! of micro photographed instructions
which he inserted in the back of a
| watch.
Mr.. Sebold communicated all these
things to the F. B. l., who built the
station and carried on for l6
months, sending 200 to 300 messages
to Germany. A total of S13.825 was
turned over to Mr.. Sebold by the
German military intelligence.
The NazlS were interested in
weather conditions and placed so
much emphasis on these reports that
the American agents suspected they
were making weather map during

the summer and fall of 1910 in ex-
pectation of an attempted invasion
of England.
They showed, too. an Unsuitable
curiosity about American production
of planes and tanks and ships and
wished to know how many were
going to Britain. Labor strikes in
terested them with their effect on
production.
Espionage and counterespionage
are essentially clandestine, and so it
is that many little details are miss
ing from the picture as the work of
the G-men is related. On the other
hand. certain incidents are described
which emphasize the secrecy of the
work as the Government alleges the
defendants carried it out.
Woman Testifies.
A plump woman comes to the
witness stand: Mrs. Else Weusten-
field. a former secretary for a law
firm which had Offices at II Battery
place, the building which housed
the German consulate. Mrs
Weustenfeld speaks calmly and
points to Duquesne. saying he was
the man to whom she gave $500 and
a microphotograph which had been
handed to her in a midtown hotel
by Lily Barbara Carol Stein, con-
fessed secret Nazi agent.
Mr. Kennedy reads into the record
the instructions on the micro
Photographic film, no larger than a
postage stamp. but so detailed that
they require Is minutes to read in
enlarged form. A big assignment
for Duquesne, it turns out, for he
was ordered to report on II separate
items of defense in which his
Superiors were interested.
Among them are these:
An International Telephone &
Telegraph device by which one ray
directs bombers to objectives while
a second ray releases bombs over
the targets.
Textiles for Army uniforms which
neutralize mustard gas.
Trench crushers believed able to
destroy trenches by overriding them
Names of manufacturers, the size of
deliveries and for whom made we're
asked.
Latest developments in gun-turret
design for Sunderland flying boats.
Other Items Tested.
Anti-fog devices, automatic range
finders, American-tested methods Of
meteorological warfare, electric eye
anti-aircraft shells, a coaxial cable,
gas masks and receiving and sending
radio manuels published by the
Radio Corp. of America and General
Electric.
And besides these things, Du-
quesne was to keep an eye on all
aircraft plants and forward informa- =
tion on shipments of war materials
and troop movements.
A secret meeting in a And street
office building between Mr.. Sebold
and Duquesne is described and then
motion picture of the meeting is
shown a mute corroboration of
testimony that Duquesne told Mr..
Sebold he had stolen American de-
fense secrets for Germany and ex-
planned easy ways of sabotage, in
cluding setting fires on piers used
for war materials shipments.
The film shows Duquesne exhibit
ing drawings of gun and a baby
tank for transportation in an air.
plane, and large tank with reflector
plates, and the agent who testifies
declares that Duquesne described
various other things he saw at Army
maneuvers in Tennessee.

| planes. Pvt. Thorell at that time
owned an aerial photography service
in Bridgeport, Conn.
Heine paid him s5, he said, and
directed the prints be sent to New
York hotel. Heine is pictured as a
man who had professed to be
ignorant of aviation in order to
avert suspicion when he asked
questions.
Sometimes the accused persons
appear to have been strangely naive
about getting information, but the
spectator is reminded that naivete
sometimes brings good results and
that in any case the agents had to
make a showing back in Germany
and that any news was better than
no news.
Thus the secret radio on Long
Island frequently transmitted HARM
less data available to anybody.
Some of the defendants appar-
emily did not know the others until
they were all rounded up. They
have had chance to get acquainted
since the trial opened three weeks
ago and will have opportunities to
improve the acquaintance as the
trial goes on, for it is expected to
last at least another month.

BY JOHN FERRIS.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The late
summer day was oppressively hot
and the man at the radio was
thinking that nothing would come
through at this hour when he heard,
family at first, yet sharply enough
to make him start, the familiar call
letters.
The man gently manipulated the
dials, wondering what it would be
this time, then picked up a pencil
as the sounds came in more clearly.
He began writing, letter by letter.
The sharp sounds cut through the
air, repeating the message. The
man waited few minutes, but that
was all. He opened a novel at his
elbow and began thumbing through
the pages, taking word here, an
other there, writing each as he came
to it:
"Airplane carrier Saratoga said to
have delivered large number OF
planes to Halifax. Tell all friends
to get details about this and make
all efforts to obtain more data re-

Gigantic Hoax on Nazis.
The date was July 80, 1910; place,
Centerport, Long Island; the man,
a Federal Bureau of Investigation
agent engaged in counterespionage
against a group of Nazi operatives.
The message to which the American
agent had listened had come, the
Government declares, from Ger
man station set up somewhere near
Hamburg.
On the following night a message
was sent to Germany: The U. S. S.
Saratoga was on the West Coast.
In this fashion. the Government
contends, the F. B. 1. perpetrated
gigantic hoax on the vaunted Nazi
military intelligence and at the same
time collected the evidence on which
33 persons were arrested last sum-

Policy on Banning
Hot Goods Shipments
Explained by Fleming
Business Told to Make
Honest Effort to Buy
STANDARD Materials

Provided they make an "honest
effort to avoid purchase of materials
made in violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, businessmen need
have no fear that their products will
be barred from interstate commerce
as hot goods" Brig. Gen. Philip B
Fleming, administrator OF the wage
and hour division, declared yes
terday.
To protect themselves from pos
sible Federal action, manufacturers
should do two things, he declared.
First, see to it that the prices paid
for materials are high enough to
make possible their production at
wages not lower than the minimum
set by law. Second, keep a check
through supply contracts and ordi-
nary trade contracts on the labor
practices under which materials
they purchase are produced.
If wage underpayment is due to
the low prices paid to suppliers of
the goods, the wage and hour divi-
sion will continue its policy of bar
ring hot goods from interstate
commerce, he warned.
Law Bars Shipments.
This division, of course, recog-
niZeS that if the manufacturer
neither knew nor had reason to
think that the goods he purchased
were produced in violation of the
act. he should not be accused of
wilfully violating the law" Gen.
Fleming explained in a statement
issued yesterday. But the problem
does not end there, because even if
there has been no knowledge, the
statute makes it unlawful to ship
any hot goods in interstate COM
merCe, and the division has no choice
but 70 stop the movement of the
goods in interstate commerce.
The division realizes. however,
that the manufacturer desiring to
comply fully with the provisions of
the act should have some means of
protection available to him so that
he will not find himself with hot
goods on hand which he cannot
ship across State lines and which,
because of that, may become worth
less to him"
Since the problem has most fire.
quently arisen in connection with
lumber companies, Gen. Fleming
cited the divisions procedure with
that industry to illustrate its gen.
eral policy toward the interstate
shipment Of hot goods"
Facilities at Hand.
Where the manufacturer has paid
prices which are not sufficient to
enable the contractor to comply with
the act, the division regards the
manufacturer rather than the con-
tractor "as the source of the evil"
and will proceed accordingly, he
added.
Though the division does not ex-
peCt manufacturers to police" their
contractors, they have facilities at
hand to find out whether or not
the latter are selling them hot
products, Gen. Fleming explained.
Among these facilities are the con-
tracts made with the suppliers of
materials and their normal con-
facts"
Contracts should include provi-
sions that the suppliers must meet
the minimum wage and overtime
compensation requirements of the
Fair Labor Standards Act, Gen.
Fleming said, with a stipulation
that failure to comply with the law
will result in immediate termina-
ton of the contracts.
This is simple, obviously reason
able and entails no additional bur-
den on the manufacturer, he de-
clared.
