FBI Agents Testify
On Finding Sabotage
Material in Florida
Burger Becomes Angry
When Asked if u. S.
Promised Immunity
BY TIE Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The intended
plan of destruction of United States
war plants by eight German sabo-
teurs was related by one of the
surviving members of the gang and
three agents of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation to a Federal court
jury yesterday.
The Nazi saboteur, Ernest Peter
Burger, in two days of testimony
in the trial OF three Chicago couples
on charges of treason, accounted for
the gangs, activities. The FBI
agents told Of uncovering the huge
amount of explosives and sabotage
material hidden by the German
agents in the sands along the
Florida coast after they landed from
two German submarines last June.
Earl J. Connelley, assistant direc-
tor of the FBI, testified that one
of the four Nazi saboters who had
landed near Pointe Vedra, Fla, di-
rected him to place where they
had hidden four boxes which con-
tanned so large blocks of TINT, a
dozen coal type bombs, incendiaries
and detonators. He also testified
that two shovels and four uniform
caps of the German naval infantry
were dug up a week later.
The FBI agent linked Herbert
Hans Haupt, %, one of the six
Nazis executed in Washington, to
the saboteurs' landing by stating it
was Haupt who disclosed the loca-
ton OF the second cache.
Haupt's parents, his uncle and
aunt and Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Rich
ard Wergin, friends of the family,
are the six on trial, charged by the
Government of being guilty of trea-
sonous acts by aiding the former
Chicago optical worker.
Earlier Burger had testified how
he and his seven companions had
been given training in a school of

sabotage and were sent to this
country to cripple the Nations war
industries by wrecking factories,
railroads and utilities.
Burger displayed anger over the
question of whether he had saved
his skin by turning against his
confederates.
Defense Attorney Paul Warnholtz
asked: Were you promised i'm
munity if you testified against other
members at the Military Commits
sion trial in Washington?'

NEW IMPROVED WONDER BREAD
PROVES DOIJRIY COOD n....,. ,,

part Of the movement inaugurated by your
government, the makers of the new Wonder
Bread put Vitamin Bi back into the bread
itsef-where it belongs. And, for good
measure, added iron for red blood.
The result is a new and improved
Wonder Bread. A bread superior in nutri-
tional efficiency than old-style white bread.
Yet it has the same fine whiteness; the
same fine flavor; the same fine texture-as
delicate and lacy as treasured bridal veil.
But see for yourself how delicious and
good it really is. Women everywhere are
quitting old kinds for it at the rate of
5000 = week now.
It's Doubly Fresh
Then, too, this new Wonder Bread is
doubly fresh-fresh when you buy it and
fresh when you eat it. Because slo-baked
for lasting freshness baked 1879
longer than many ordinary kinds.
See how much longer doubly fresh
Wonder Bread stays fresh on the -
table and in the lunch box.
Remember-this new doubly
fresh Wonder Bread contains Vita

day. You'll be glad you did!

transform bread-or any other food-into
the energy you need to get your work done.
It's Up To You
Washington experts estimate that 90, 0,000,-
600 man-days' work will be lost this year
due to nutritional illnesses alone.
A New York State Committee estimates
industrial production could be increased
25so by better food. The problem will be
solved when wives and mothers put better
food on the table and in the lunch box.
A New Kind Of Bread
One place to start is your daily bread.
Remember-bread accounts for 35eo of
the daily energy millions need.
Now, wise Mother Nature put Vitamin
B1 as well as other vitamins and minerals
into wheat. But unwise man took it out
trying to make bread whittier. Then, as .
