Ek|und Jury Recessed
As Attorneys. Argue
On Word 'Dictograph'
Detective Barrett Tells
Of Finding Cartridges
In Nearby Virginia Field

Shortly after noon today, Justice
James w. Morris of District Court
sent the jury in the first-degree
murder trial of John Eugene Eklund
from the room as defense and Gov
eminent attorneys argued about the
use of the word "dictograph."
This referred to the charge, made
several years ago, that police listened
in on dictograph while Eklund
talked to his attorney.
On the stand all morning, Capt.
Robert J. Barrett, assistant chief of
detectives, told of the search behind
a restaurant in nearby Virginia,
where gun-Wiper and tin can
were found. He also testified that in
the field was found box with 10
cartridges, which had been placed
on top of an upright brick, both of
which were covered with tin can.
Bullets Taken From Tree.
Capt. Barrett said several bullets
were taken from tree in the area
and turned over to Capt. John
Fowler, firearms expert of the de-
partment.
Under croSS-examination of De-
fense Attorney Harry Whelan, Capt.
Barrett said that neither the box,
the gun-wiper nor the tin can were
examined for fingerprints. The de-
tective, who was assigned to the
case of the shooting of Hylan Nc
elaine, colored, in 1910, for which
Eklund is charged, was also ques-
toned concerning the circumstances
of the identification of Eklund by
Mildred Washington Simms, Nc

the shooting.

vichy Plays Big Role
In Supplying Romme|
Soviet Agency Says
French Sea Routes
Reported Used to Send
Nozi Troops to Africa
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July 2.-Tass, ofncial
Soviet news agency, said yesterday
that the Vichy French government
has played and is playing an impor-
tant part in supplying war materials
and transporting troops via French
Tunisia for Nazi Marshal Erwin
Rommel in Egypt.
The Tass account, dated Geneva,
Switzerland, follows:
"On the strength of information
received from French colonial cir
cles, well-informed persons declare
that the Vichy government played
an important part in supplying Gen.
Rommels troops with war materials
and war provisions.
French sea routes were used for
secret concentration of German
forces in North Africa which pre-
ceded Rommels offensive
Transportation of troops and war
materials was carried out under the
guise of regular trade traffic between
French and North African ports.
According to the information
available, German troops crossed
on French ships, mainly to Bonne
and Bizerte, from where they con-
tinued to Sfax and Gabes by rail-
way. Further, they used the regu-
lar automobile line along the Tripod
itanian coast
According to arrivals from Tunis
early in June, large numbers Of
German soldiers and equipment for
two motorized brigades, including
light and medium tanks, were
brought to Sfax by way Of Bizerte.
The Gulf of Gabes coast has
served since the last year as very
important rear base for Rommels
army, but so heavy a concentration
of people and materials was OBJ
served for the first time this spring.
About 10 per cent Of the Ameri-
can food products that arrive at
ports Of French Morocco also are
brought there.
"The food products are carried by
French coastal ships along the
North African coast under control
of German naval representatives in
Oran, Aleiers, Bougie, Philippeville
and other ports.
"Accol ding to latest reports. Ger
man troops, armament and pro-
visions which are to be transported
to Cirenaica by water are being
concentrated at Sfax.
For this operation a large num-
ber of French merchant ships and
much smaller number of italian
vessels have been gathered in Sfax.
1T is supposed that the Germans
will use French ships for transpor-
tation OF reinforcements to Tobruk
and other ports in the vicinity of
the area of Rommel's operations,
since transportation by air cannot
secure the needed amount of sup
plies"

to do with the general question of
an emergency pay raise for all Gov
ernment employees during the war.
Two bills on that subject are still
pending in committee, one to grant
a general wartime bonus and the
other to pay for overtime work in
Government departments.
The original proposal to read
lust the higher grades in the pro-
fessional and scientific group,
which the House turned down, was
not intended SO much to raise sal
aries as to eliminate the wide range
between the entrance rates OF $5,-
600 for Grade 6, $500 for Grade 7
and $4,000 FOR Grade 8.
The committee had recommend
ed that this salary range be split
into four instead of three grades
with new entrance rates as follows:
s5,4O0, $4,000, $1,000 and $4,000.
There was also to be a new grade
added with base rate OF $4,000,
but no stepups except as directed
by Congress- All OF this went out
on the House floor.
Mr.. Ramspeck contended that be-
cause of the wide gap in these
grades under present law, if the
Government wanted to employ an
expert who would not be attract
ed by the $500 rate, department
would have to take him on at
$4,000 --- the next grade even
though he might be willing to &C
cept $1,000.

Yesterday, Capt. Barrett told the
jury of five women and seven men
about certain newspaper clippings
found in Eklund's Baltimore room,
containing accounts of the series of
"sniper" slayings here.
Capt. Barrett said he arrested
Eklund in lunchroom in the 17OO
block OF Pennsylvania avenue NV.
on November Is, 1940 Eklund was
in company with Herbert Ray, a
companion. Later, Eklund denied
knowing Ray, Capt. Barrett testi-
fed, adding that the defendant also
denied ever shooting at some trees
in the rear Of restaurant in near
by Virginia. The Government will
offer in evidence pieces from these
trees in attempting to show that
the bullet which killed McClaine
came from the same gun that was
used in shooting at the trees.
Several youthful acquaintance of
Eklund also took the stand to tell
of visiting Roosevelt Island in boat
with him and of engaging in target
practice there. One of them, Arthur
L. Weatherford of the 1400 block
OF Columbia road NV said the
revolver used by them was about
9 or 10 inches long. He further
testified that he saw the gun several
weeks later at the Virginia restau-
rant where he was employed.
Eklund was convicted at his first
trial but won a new trial.

Advertisine!s Called
Key to Free u. S. Press
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July O.
Newspaper advertising must be con-
tinued if America is to keep its
free press in wartime, j. Howard
Pew, president of the Sun Oil Co.,
declared today.
In a letter to the Pennsylvania
Newspaper Publishers Association,
Mr.. Pew said America has the most
competent press in the world be-
cause of its advertising revenue
which, rejecting the activities of
our system of free competitive en-
terprise, gives to our press SO bread
basis of economic support that it
can afford and can dare to be inde-
pendent"
without such a broad founda-
ton of economic support our press
would be dependent on the favors
of politics and the subsidies of Gov
ernment, like practically all the
press of continental Europe" he
said.

Northern Ireland, at the Euro
pean end of the Allies bridge of

It's existence was announced pub
licly for the first time today, al
though 1t was commissioned last
February S and, according to Com
modore Ross Stewart, commander Of
the adjoining British base, already
has lifted a great burden of the
convoy problem"
Where hundreds of United States
Marines and bluejackets operate
machine shops, supply bases, dry
docks and other naval shore estab-
lishments in a plant spreading over
hundreds of acres, only year ago
5000 Irish and American workers
were starting construction.
Lease-Lend Funds Used.
1t was built with lease-1end funds
and Capt. William Larson of Chi
cago said Everything in the base
down to the last pork chop or nut
and bolt has been brought from the
United States" -
Details of it's intricate mech
anism, Of course, still are a war Sc
cret, but it could repair or rebuild
the biggest United States destroyer.
It has millions of dollars worth OF
precision machinery ready. If neces-
sary, to operate around the clock
in blacked -out buildings.
1t is designed to keep fit destroy
ers and other light craft on Atlantic
convoy duty for the United States
and Canadian navies. It is sep
arate unit, but, on occasion, works
Jointly with the nearby British yard.
Men Housed in Huts.
It's men are housed in de luxe
"Quonset huts" prefabricated at
home and put together here, and
its sick and injured are tended in
200-bed Quonset hospital which
has its own x-ray apparatus, phar-
macy, operating rooms and staff OF
specialists. British as well as Amer
ican sailors are its patients.
From secret chart rooms in the
base, an operations force under
Capt. Lee Hewlett Thebaud Of New
York directs scores of American
convoy craft operating on the North
Atlantic.
The minesweeper U. S. S. Albat-
ross, an old, converted Gloucester
fisherman, struggled in, barely able
to keep afloat, as the first customer
last January II. She had been bat
tered by one of the worst Atlantic
gales of the winter, but she has been
repaired and is back on the job.

IS Aliens Arrested, Radio
Sets Seized in Bund Raids

NEW YORK, July R.-In a
series of swift raids in Yorkville, the
Brooklyn Navy Yard area and New
Jersey, the FBI yesterday seized "a
enemy aliens in the metropolitan
region and confiscated short-wave
radio sending sets, rifles, shotguns
and ammunition.
p. E. Foxworth, assistant director
Of the FBI, indicated there was a
connection between the raids and
the recent arrests of eight sub
marine-borne saboteurs landed on
Long Island and in Florida last
months.
The raids, Mr.. Foxworth said, were
an intensification of efforts by the
FBI to round up alien members of
the German American Bund. The
eight saboteurs were former men,
bers Of the bund.
"The FBI is definitely more inter-
ested in the bund this week than it
was last week." Mr.. Foxworth said.
Three of the IL men taken into
custody in New York City were re-
ported to have volunteered for Ger
man Army service through the Ger
man consulate before the consulate
office was closed, and one of the
three was said to have entered the
United States illegally.
The IL persons arrested in New
Jersey were taken in raids on the
homes of 36 New Jersey Germans,
and property seized included two
short-wave radio sending sets, 1000
rounds of ammunition, rifles and
shotguns.
E. E. Conroy, FBI agent in charge
of the Newark and New York Offices,
listed the contraband and said raids
were made in a score of New Jersey
towns.
A short t-Wave sending set and a
quantity of subversive literature
were conflscated in the New York
City raids, Mr.. FoXworth said.

contraband articles last night in
"spot searches" at the homes of 225

destroy the Pennsylvania line along
Horseshoe Curve, among other OBJ
jectives.
On Horseshoe Curve, 7 miles west
OF here, the railroad winds along
the rugged Allegheny Mountains.
J. F.. Sears, special agent in charge

said the four hour spot searches
were made for such contraband
articles as short-wave radios,

at their homes, while others were
taken to the downtown Federal
Building for questioning before
United States Commissioner Joseph
Brennan from Scranton.
Mr.. Sears said no arrests were
made, but that the aliens were
warned against further violations of
the presidential proclamation con-
corning enemy nationals in this
country.
