Indecent Exposure Law
Tightening Is Asked

A law to increase the power OF
the Police Court in dealing with in
decent exposure cases was requested
OF Congress this afternoon by the
Commissioners as a means of check
ing sex crimes in the District.
The proposed bill would enable
Police Court. judges to. send prison
ers charged with indecent exposure
and assault to Gallinger Hospital
for mental observation. The Com
missioners advised Congress that
under existing law Police Court is
without specific authority to order
pyschiatric examination IN crirtfi-
nal cases even If there is prima facie
evidence of unsound mind.
The purpose of the new measure
they said, is to prevent "the subse-
quent commission of more serious
sex crimes by such defendants"
If the bill passes, the Police Court
could commit defendants in GRIM
n1al cases to Gallinger for 80 days
If the court believes there Is prima
tacie evidence Of unsound mind.

basis for brick or frame construc-

Kunze Denies HAVING
knowledge Of Jap
Plans for Attack
EbeII Says He Never Saw
The Rev. Mr.. MoIzohn
Before Triol Opened
Earlier Story on Page Az

e, the Associated Press.
HARTFORD. Conn. Aug. IT,
Gerhard wilhelm Kunze. former
"Fuehrer" of the German American
Bund. denied today charge by a
Government attorney that he knew
from secret sources that the Jap
anese were going to attack the
United States months in advance
of the December 7 raid on Pearl
Harbor.
Kunze, under cross-examination
as defense witness at the espionage
conspiracy trial OF the Rev. Kurt
E. B. Molzahn. appeared amused
at the accusation made by Prosecu-
tor Thomas j. Dodd. jr., and as
serted that while he knew of no
attack" he had reason to fear"
that there would be war between
America and the Axis.
DR.. Wolfgang Ebell, 43-year-old
Ell Paso. Tex. physician, like Kunze
confessed member of spy ring
that the Philadelphia Lutheran
pastor is accused of aiding, fol-
lowed the Bund leader on the stand,
and denied that he ever knew or
had seen Mr.. Molzahn before the
trial.
Wrote at Priests Request.
KunZe asserted last week that to
his knowledge Mr.. Molzahn had
nothing to do with the spy plot.
While under cross ss-examination to-
day he testified that he worked with
the Rev. Aleksi Pelypenko, Ukrain-
ian Roman Catholic priest employed
by the FBI as a counterespionage
agent, because he believed him to be
IAN anti-bolshevist patriot"
He said that that was the reason
he wrote a letter to Mr.. Mozahn
which the defendant has denied
ever receiving, introducing the
priest to him. The letter was writ
ten at Father Pelypenko's request,
Kunze testified.
How did you know Mr.. Molzahn
was an anti-Bolshevist if you never
knew him?" asked Mr.. Dodd.
"All true ministers of the gospel
were anti-Bolshevists," replied
Kunze
Was "No Love Making"
by the way said Dodd, where
were you anti-Bolshevist patriots
when Hitler was making love to
Russia just before he attacked
them?"
There was no love making so
far as I know" Kunze retorted
The former Bund leader reiterated
his testimony OF last Friday that
the suggestion that Father Pely-
penko obtain papers" for him SO
that he could travel abroad came
from the priest.
Kunze resumed the stand for
cross after a vestry-
man of Old lions Church in Phila
delphia denied that a priest had
left photographs of the Bund leader
with him last summer with instruc-
tions to forward them to Pastor
Molzahn.

Assemble an Armada
Of S Native Boats

There was considerable petro-
leum and about 81 tins of kero-
Isene. Also we got an American
flag. Jap flag-which was later
to save our liVes-and a roll of
Manila hemp Now our proble3s
was TO get it transported to a
point where we could sell it. Again
our guns came in handy.
! BY some Well-eXecuted gestures
which adequately explained their
fate if cooperation was not forth
coming, we were able to assemble
an armada of five native boats
and a veritable construction gang
of Filipino natives TO aid in NOV
ing the bulky stores from light
house 10 boat.
We forced our captives to sail
our boat TO our rendezvous point
and then to unload ii for us. There
wasn't time for arguing with them
.either--we were in territory very
much occupied by the Japs.
Loaded TO the gunwales with
our supplies, we set out with our
armada TO horse trade" our petro-
leum and kerosene for a boat. 1t
was a harder job than we had
anticipated. No Filipino wanted
to be directly connected with the
sale or purchase of anything by
Americans. We couldn't blame
them; the Japs were entirely too
close to them for comfort.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-14

back as we entered the rough
channel when our motor-which
we had nick-named little Swede'
began a wracking cough which
suggested momentary breakdown.
Little Swede' couldn't be
trusted to get us anywhere. We
returned to the quiet lagoon, an
chored our boat in a protecting
cove and Lloyd and / re-entered
the village to requisition material
for sails.
We found in one of the native
shops a collection of old -four
sacks. There was nothing else
available and the sacks would have
to do. For hours we sat on the
beach cutting up the -four sacks
and .resewing them into sails.
Those -four sacks were one inn
portant reason we reached Aus
tralia; they carried US safely from
the Philippines to Anzacland.
When our sails were IN place
we discovered that our vessel,
which we had named the Ruth
Lee, had a bottom not unlike
sieve. Nearly a foot of water had
been shipped during our attempt
TO crack the passage. After We
had finished working on the sails
Lloyd and l worked nearly all
night. using pieces of driftwood &c
plug what seemed TO be hundreds
of holes, and bailing out the ship
Then, with dawn still few
hours away, we returned TO our
village. We 'requisitioned" a can
of paint. mixed it literally with
sand and dirt and did a splotchy
but effective job of camoufaglng
the Ruth Lee.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-14

In the days that followed we
learned, from the natives, of a
certain merchant on a certain
island who had a boat for sale.
1t was Lloyd who planned our
master strategy to get the neces-
sary funds.
Through friends, both of us had
again been equipped with army
revolvers and we determined to
put them to good use. Borrowing
a native banca one night we sailed
to an island where we knew the
Japs had a lighthouse. They had
our islands and our
supplies. All right, we would take
theirs!
We got the drop on the five
Filipinos who were conscripted by
the Japs TO guard the lighthouse.
and Lloyd watched them while l
checked over the japanese booty
we had lust CaDtured.
