SixGo on Trial Today
On Treason Charges
In Chicago Court
Defense Expected to Plead
Help to Nozi Soboteur
Was Given InnocentIy
3y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Six somber
men and women enter Federal
Court today to defend themselves
against charge OF treason.
They are the parents, relatives
and friends Of Herbert Hans Haupt.
youngest of the six Nazi saboteurs
executed in Washington August 8.
The Government accuses them of
helping the German Reich by con-
cealing young Haupt, although they
knew of his mission of death and
destruction: by safeguarding large
amounts of money he brought with
him from Germany and otherwise
aiding his purpose.
Their trial before Judge William
j. Campbell will be the first case
OF treason ever heard in Illinois.
prosecution and defense attorneys
indicated the trial might last six
weeks.
Called Important Contacts"
The defendants, all of whom have
pleaded innocent, were Hans Max
and Erna Emma Haupt, the dead
saboteur's parents; Walter and Lu-
cille Froehling, his uncle and aunt,
and two friends of the family, Otto
Richard Wergin and his wife, Kate.
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, has
described the Froehlings as i'm
portant contacts" for the German
agents, who were landed on the East
Coast from submarines last June
with large supplies of money and
explosives.
One of the two saboteurs who
escaped death, Ernest Peter Burger.
was expected to be the Governments
most important witness. United
States Attorney ]. Albert Woll said
Burger, once mechanic in Detroit
and Milwaukee, would be brought
here secretly from his place of de-
centlon. There were indications that
ne might disclose by his testimony
many angles of the sabotage plot
which up to now have been state
secrets
Death Penalty Possible.
Mr.. Woll said he expected to call
about 140 other witnesses, including
Mrs. Gerda Melind, "a, young
Haupt's fiancee.
Paul A. Warnholtz, a defense at
torney. said the defense case would
be built around proof that none of
the defendants knew of Haupt's
mission and that anything they
might have done to help him was in
the innocent relationship of parents,
relatives or friends.
Persons convinced of treason are
liable to penalties ranging from
$4,000 fine and five years imprison-
ment to death.

Low Analysis
Fertilizers Are
Costly To Farmers

One outstanding contribution Tar
mers can make for national defense
is to shift from the use of low
analysis fertilizers to higher-anai
ysis fertilizers. At the anne time by
using higher = analysis fertilizers
they can get more plant food TO,
their fertilizer dollar and save about
$4,000, 900 on their annual fertilizer
bill. Z
1t is estimated that about " mil
lion tons of sand or other filler with
no plant food value is used in low
analysis fertilizers. By using high
er-analysis fertilizers farmers can
help the Nations war effort by re-
ducing the burden this extra bulk
places in the transportation system
by reducing the amount OF labor
required to handle commercial fer
~tilizers, and by reducing the number
of bags required so as to help offset
the shortage in bagging.

Politics vs. National Security

This is highly controversial topic. It is easy to get hot argument on any of it's several sides. But those on the inside, with no personal or political axes to grind,
 say that the sooner we institute nation
 wide gasoline rationing, the quicker we
 can win this war The story is that all the best informed administrators, up to
 and including President Roosevelt, real ize we are wasting irreplaceable rubber
 every hour we permit automobiles to oper- ate for non-essential purposes.
 They know that a tire burned out in : the midwest, southwest or far west . where gasoline is plentiful - has heen : diverted from war use just as definitely and finally as a tire worn out on the east . ern seaboard They are convinced that : it is silly even to think about getting . enough synthetic rubber for two or three years to relieve the situation.
 : Through general surveys, as well as Z from isolated emergency situations, they . have obtained evidence that crisis is on . the way in the transportation of work men to war industry plants. The tire StOckpile is utterly inadequate to do . more than defer production stoppages based upon this cause. We have neither , the LlIHe, Cne IndnpOWer, the materials nor the money with which to construct sufficient housing within walking dis tance of war plants, and move there the workers who now depend on automobiles . to get to work. Perhaps the reason the , President has not already ordered nation wide rationing of gasoline, in order to pre- vent general use of tires, is that this is an election year. MT. Roosevelt is not run ming for reelection, of course. But all members of the House and third of the senators must face their constituents in
 November They may have convinced
 the President that for their sakes he
 must delay such presumably unpopular
 moves as nationwide gasoline rationing until the votes have been cast.
 We, on the outside, can only accept
 the facts obtainable from the insiders, so
 long as they stand up against every avail
 able crosScheck. The menace of the rub
 Der shortage meets such tests On that
 basis, with the utmost of sympathy for
 the oil industry and the nations motor
 ists, we do not see how MT. Roosevelt can weigh the fortunes of individuals, who like being members of Congress, against
 the nations security. If the rubber sit uation is as critical as Washington says, and as we believe, we do not see how nationwide rationing of gasoline, purely as measure of rubber conservation, can be longer delayed.
