j. !. Line Chief Cook
Shifts Plea 10 Guilty
In Espionage Trial
Acts After Introduction
Of Letter Telling Of His
Efforts for Reich
NJ fhs ASSociated preSS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Richard H.
Kleiss, former chief cock aboard
flagships of the United States Lines,
suddenly pleaded guilty in Federal
Court today to charges of espionage
conspiracy for which he and IA
other persons were being tried.
The trial has been under way
since September 8.
KleiSs withdrew his plea OF lnno-
cence shortly after court opened fol-
lowing the introduction into evl-
dence of letter written by Kleiss to
Hamburg, Germany, customs au-
thorities in 1896.
Government attorneys said that
in the letter KleisS told German
officials he had become an Amerl-
can citizen only in order to work
on American ships, that he had felt
it his duty to pay Germany taxes on
his American income, that ne had
hired Germans almost exclusively
during his 10 years in American ship
kitchens. and that he had purchased
ship supplies in Hamburg. although
thev could have been bought more
cheaply elsewhere.
Nineteenth Guilty Plea.
Kleiss pleaded guilty to the sec
ond count of the two-count lndict-
ment-a charge that he had con-
spired to deliver vital American de-
fense secrets to Germany. He thus
became liable to a maximum SEN
tence of 20 years in prison.
The first count, which was dis
missed in his case and carried a
maximum sentence of only two years
on conviction. charged that he failed
10 register with the State Depart
ment as foreign agent.
His plea was the nineteenth of its
kind since the original 33 Defend
ants were rounded up last June.
Fourteen men remain on trial.
Admits Writing Letter.
A copy Of the Kleiss letter was
first produced by the Government
during cross examination yesterday.
Kleiss admitted that he had written
it to the Hamburg officials after he
and his wife had been searched for
smuggled foreign money by German
customs agents and ''insultingly" in
terrogated
In the letter KleiSS pointed out
that he had been an officer in the
German Navy during the World War
and demanded that he and his
family be saved from further ques-
tioning at the hands of the German
authorities.
Otherwise, he wrote, he would take
the matter UP with the American
diplomatic Offices.

White House Is None
OnProposedMon Changes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-R-The
White House was non-commital to.
day toward the federal reserv sys-
TENS program for changes in none
tary and banking laws, while On
Capitol Hill a fight appeared to be
in the making.
Stephen Early, presidential secre'
tary, said the reserve systems re-
port was submitted to congress with
the Presidents full knowledge, but
that Mr.. Roosevelt had not approved
it, because it still vas under study
both at the White House and treas
ury.
A number of members of congress
approved, and some sharply disap'
proved, the program which, among
other things, would let the Presi
dents power to devalue the dollar
lapse, repeal "greenback" legislation,
and place tighter restrictions on
bank lending.
Senator Townsend (R-Del said on
the senate floor that the proposals
would take a long step in the direc-
ton in which we ought to move with
out further delay"
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-01-03

"The prompt adoption of the plan
by congress-" he said, should go a
long way to allaying public fears
Of currency and credit initiation"
He urged that congress go one
step further" and stop purchases OF
gold and silver "at least from coun
tries against which we are in other
ways spending millions and millions
to bring economic pressure"
Rep. Rankin (D-Miss) told the
house that changes suggested by the
reserve officials would set up a "fi
nancial fascist" in the United
States.
Joining the Mississippian in cri
itching the program was Rep. Pat
man (D-Tex), who contended thai
the board had ION a number of &C
casions abused its power and thai
instead of giving them more power
1 think we should abolish the
board"
Secretary of Commerce Jones (who
also is federal loan administrator
told reporters at st. Louis that he
saw no danger Of initiation. He de
clined to discuss the recommenda-
lions directly.

Little Opposition Seen To I'm
portant Changes Promised
By Brought0n

RALEIGH, Jan. 2.-R-Political
sources here are predicting that
the 1911 session of the general as
sembly. which will convene at high
noon on Wednesday, will be"short
and sweet" with fewer c%ontroven
sizes and fewer legislative d avs
than the unusually harmonious 90
day session in 1889.
Reason for the prediction, ap-
parently, is that little opposition
has appeared to date to any Of the
important changes in state govern
ment which have been promised
by Governor-elect Broughton, who
will be inaugurated one week from
today.
The principle Of reapportioning
the assembly, which has touched
off major controversies in former
years, apparently will not be con-
tested seriously this year. But
fights may develop over specific
details of a reapportionment bill
details which will reduce the num-
Der of representatives in s m e
counties and increase them in 9TH
ers.
Likewise, little criticism has been
expressed to the principle OF
Broughton-endorsed proposals to
remove the sales tax from certain
additional specified foods, and to
provide a retirement system for
public school teachers and all 9TH
err state employees.
But here, again, fireworks may
be touched off when the legisla-
ture reaches the point of determin-
ing just which foods should be ex-
empted, and just how much money
the state should contribute annu-
ally to the retirement fund.
There also is a possibility that
fights may develop over whether:
The state should scrap its county
option liquor control system and
return to complete prohibition; a
state wage-hour law similar to the
federal statute should be enacted
to cover intrastate industries,
which are exempt from the fed
eral measure; bonds should be IS
sued to modernize highways; the
state highway and public works
commission should be reorganized;
school teachers should receive
raises in pay; additional fun d s
Should be appropriated for voca'
tional education, so that the state
could match all available federal
funds for that purpose.
First action on the legislative
front will come Tuesday night
when house and senate member.
will meet in caucuses to name g
speaker and a president protein
respectively.
Principal candidates for thu
speakership are George Uzzen o:
Salisbury and Odus M. Null Q.
Shelby, two of the three deans
of the house. The third dean" i.
Victor S. Bryant of Durham. WHIT
probably will preside over thu
house CAUCUS, ]

that Norton broke a prison regu-
lation this morning, and was rep

On the way to the cell, he broke
awav from a guard and dashed up
five flights of stairs to the top OF
the tier.
When prison officials urged him
to come down, he shouted, "LeaV
me alone, or I'Il jump
Meanwhile, Wilson called the IRE
denartment, which arrived at tne
prison with a life net. After the
firemen took their places, two
Guards were sent up to seize Nor
ton from behind.
But as they approached, the
youthful convict looked over the
railing, saw the net, darted down
the corridor, and took a running
leap into space.
The firemen on the ground tioor
