Al Memphis Conference
Ry the Associated Press,

Ey the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Dec. 8.-Representa-
tives of farm war boards in IA States,
meeting with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard and other department
officials, today studied the 1913 farm
goals and problems farmers would
face in fulfilling them.
A special period was set aside for
discussion of section of the l943
AAA program, providing that a
farmer must plant at least 80 per
cent Of his crop allotment in order
to obtain AAA payments for it. An
exception to the order set forth that
certain war crops" to be designated
could be substituted in case farmer
preferred not to plant the full 80
per cent.
Mr.. Wickard, who yesterday
pledged himself to keep the public
better informed concerning the cur
rent food situation" prepared to ad-
dress the group late today.
MIR. Wickard said he had full con-
fldence in the peoples cooperation
in a planned food program pro
vided they are fully informed of
what they should do and why" He
emphasized the housewives role in
the program "in making the best
of the foods they will have"

Nazi Plan 10 Blow Up
Allied Ships in Harbor
Al Buenos Aires Barred
German Navel Attuche
Involved in Spy Ring.
Confessions Indicate
0y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. "a Ger
man plan to have deep sea diver
attach time bombs to hulls of Allied
ships In Buenos Aires harbor was
disclosed yesterday in published
testimony of six confessed spies,
testimony that also involved the
German Embassy naval attache,
Capt. Dietrich Niebuhr, in an Axis
spy ring in Argentina.
The Argentine Supreme Court,
which must decide whether there
are grounds to prosecute Niebuhr,
was understood to be planning a
broad investigation of the whole
embassy staff, and the court immed-
lately asked for information con-
corning staff members.
Informed quarters said facts dis
closed thus far only scratched the
surface Of Axis spy operations in
Argentina, and that evidence in
three United States memoranda
which touched off the investigation
promised further sensational dis
closures.
Six Of 80 Confess.
Six Of SO persons detained by the
Federal prosecutor were said to have
confessed to charges of espionage,
and one, Juan Jacobo Napp, named
Niebuhr as the person to whom he
delivered information dealing prin-
cipally with movements of Allied
shipping.
Another who confessed was Wal
ter Friewald, 37-year- old Para
guayan. whose father was German
and his mother British. FrieWald
was described by one source as the
most dangerous" of the group, and
a deep-sea diver who had volun-
teer to attach time bombs to hulls
OF Allied ships. So far as known,
this plan never was carried out, but
after 1t was reported special precau-
tons were taken, including sending
divers to inspect hulls of ships be-
fore they sailed.
Diplomatic quarters said Niebuhr's
position was so seriously compro-
missed that he was almost certain to
be Withdrawn by Germany.
Full Information Asked of Spies,
Documentary evidence disclosed
along with the testimony included
Geographic instructions from Ger
many asking spies to furnish infor-
nation mot only regarding English
ships, but also all maritime traffic
except coastal. We need flag, name.
destination, date of arrival and de-
parture, cargo, armament, camou-
flage"
Another who confessed was Otto
mar Muller, whom persons close to
the investigation decided on as the
man originally designated by the
German high command to head the
espionage group. He was removed
more than year ago because Ger
man spy chiefs mistakenly believed
his activities had been discovered.
This error, they said, played a part
in Muller's undoing, for Napp was
his successor, and 'Napp was dis
covered to be a spy.
