D. Kirgan, chief of detectives, said
today he was investigating the pos
sibility a man held here might be
an accomplice of the band of Ger
man saboteurs recently landed by
submarines along the east coast.
The man. arrested yesterday on a
drunkenness charge, was quoted by
Chief Kirgan as saying he deserted
the United States Army a month
ago at Fort Slocum, N. Y. He had
$542 in cash when seized by police,
bank book from WEIGH. w. Va,
bank showing deposits of more than
$500. During questioning he at
tempted to mutilate it.
Hes no dummy" commented
Chief Kirgan. adding the suspect
was evasive in answering questions,
particularly about the money which
the officers commented was too
much for soldier to be carrying
around"
Chief Kirgan said Cancelled checks
in amounts varying from $40 and
$40 to $3.50 were found in his posses
sion, and these which the suspect
explained by saying they were loans
to buddies in the Army
Three uniforms found in the
mans room at a cheap downtown
hotel were too small for him.
He speaks with slight German
accent said Chief Kirgan. and we
believe there's some connection be-
tween him and the saboteurs now
on trial in Washington. He may
have been supplying uniforms to
other enemy agents throughout the

Nazis Push Ship Program
To Ease Wars Pinch
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
LONDON, July 24.-Germany,
pinched for shipping space after
almost three years of war, has
started a campaign to salvage
vessels sunk along the European
coast and is pushing a program
for construction of standardized
merchantmen similar to the
American Liberty ships" Brit
ish sources declared today.
The situation facing the Reich is
reflected In Official British reports
that, of the 100000 tons Of mer-
chant shipping with which Germany
and Italy started the war, 5.250000
tons had been sent to the bottom
prior to last December.
How much tonnage the Axis has
lost since then is largely a matter
of speculation, but Allied communi-
ques indicate that it is considerable.
While British and United States
Navies have virtually throttled
Germany's overseas commerce, she
is struggling tremendously to MAIN
tain vital supply lines in European
waters-particularly In the Baltic
and the Mediterranean.
In the Baltic, German freighters
are moving iron ore from Lulea,
Sweden, to North German ports
and supplying Nazi troops in Russia
and their Finnish allies.
With Soviet submarines on the
loose in the Baltic this is becoming
a hazardous job, and the Germans
are reported to have resorted re-
Gently to conveying.
In the Mediterranean, Germany
is largely dependent on Italian ship
ping space to keep her armies in
North Africa supplied, to maintain
service to Spain and Unoccupied
France and bring oil in tankers
from Rumania. British warships
and RAF patrols have been taking
heavy toll of shipping on these
routes.
In addition, German ships con-
stantly are shutting along the Nor
wegian and Netherlands North Sea
coasts and across the Bay of Bis
cay, where they are moving ore from
Northern Spain to Bayonne and
Bordeaux.
These ship movements are subject
to constant air attacks and the
problem of unloading vessels once
they have safely arrived in German
ports is complicated by periodic
bombings OF dock facilities at such
important centers at Stettin. Lue-

Finland Feels Out U.S..
On Saving Her From
Role as Nazi Ally
Some Sort of Postwar
Guarantee to Country
Appears to Be Price
By the Associated Press.

By TIE Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24.-Finland
gave worldwide currency today to
suggestion that the United States
might help extricate her from her
position as an ally of Germany and
as a possible sacrifice to Soviet
Russia In the event of a United
Nations victory.
Some sort OF postwar guarantee
from the United States appeared to
be the price-and much was made
OF the point that, for six months,
Finnish forces have sought only to
maintain their lines against the Red
Army. without making any aggres-
sive moves.
AS is the way with such feelers. the
manner of publication was compli-
Gated. First, the idea appeared in an
editorial in the Stockholm news
paper, Dagens Nyheter. Then it was
given wide front-page republication
in the Finnish press. Lastly, the es-
sentials of the editorial were broad
cast to the world by the official Fin
nish radio. with comments and ex-
planatory remarks of its own.
News Of War Aims Sought.
That editorial, as broadcast from
Helsinki. said it was urgently i'm
portant that the United States give
more exact information than hith-
erto about her aims for the protec-
tion of small democracies such a.
Finland from Bolshevik- dictated
peace If the trend OF the war should
lead to such an end.
If the United States could give
Finland more exact information on
Allied political aims after the war,
the Firms would gain greater con-
f1dence, 1t continued.
There was no specific suggestion
that in such a case. Finland would
drop her role as Germany's confed-
crate in the fight against Russia.
The editorial added significantly,
however, that during the past half :
year the Finnish-Russian front has
been relatively f1xed-"not a matter
of a truce, but of standing guard. )"
Stationary Guard.
The Finnish broadcast took some
issue with this, saying that actually
the Russians had made assaults on
Finnish defenses on the Aunus 18th
mus, north of Lake Omega. and in
some sections OF the far north dur
ing last April and May.
The Helsinki broadcast said. how
ever. that Finnish newspapers had
pointed out that the Films had CON
solidated their defenses and assumed
a stationary guard against the
enemy"
Dagens Nyheter was quoted a,
saying this stationary condition or
the front was the best evidence
that "the Finnish government anc
army are trying to avoid worse com.
phcations in the political sphere"

More Witnesses Take
Stand for Defense
In 5aboteur Trial
3. New Action Is Hinted
As Cose Here Enters
Its l4th Day

More witnesses trying to save the
lives OF the eight Nazi saboteurs
were placed on the stand today by
the Army officers appointed to de-
fend them, it was revealed In a
midday communique issued by the
Military Commission.
The official statement said these
defense witnesses, whose names
were not revealed, will be further
questioned at the afternoon session
of the trial commission.
The communicate issued shortly
after the commission recessed for
lunch at 1890 pm. said.
THE commission reconvened this
morning at $50. The morning ses-
sion was devoted to the examination
and cross-examination of certain
defense witnesses. The noon recess
was taken at 1890 and the after
noon session will begin at 80 pm.
TT is expected that the afternoon
session will be spent in further ex-
animation of the defense witnesses.
Young Man Enters Courtroom.

identify the new defense witnesses,
a member of the defense staff was
observed escorting . young man
about u years old into the closely
guarded courtroom about II O'Clock.
He was not seen leaving the trial.

There was no clue as to the identity
of the other witnesses.
Although the trial opening this
morning was scheduled at $50 am.

the principal members Of the prose-
cution staff, did not enter the trial
chamber until 9:45 am.
When the Attorney General did

not accompanied by some other
members of the prosecution staff

that the trial might be coming to an
end--was created when one promi-
nent participant told newspaper

Wickard Offers Plan
Designed 10 Relieve
Shortage Of Meat
OPA Is Considering
PIoeine Price Ceiling
On Live Hogs
Ry the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
A plan designed to relieve the
widespread shortage Of meat was
announced yesterday by Secretary
Of Agriculture Wickard
The program was aimed at in
creasing the processing of pork by
small packing plants which. cur
tailed operations when pinched be-
tween the rising uncontrolled prices
of the animals they buy and the
fixed ceiling prices Of the meat they
sell to retail butchers.
The department decided to lower
the price it pays for lease lend
meat approximately 81 a hundred
pounds in the Midwest next week
and about IS cents in the East in
the belief such action would drop
live hog prices and thus give pro-
cessors wider margin between
their buying and selling prices.
The Government agency also de-
vised subsidy system for small
packers in financial distress Under
1t, the department would make con-
tracts with packers to furnish lease
lend pork, buy the hogs and pay
for the slaughtering. Then it would
sell back to the packers about 25
per cent of the meat for distribution
in United States markets under
price arrangements that would en-
able the packers to make a profit.
Live Hog Ceiling Considered.
Earlier Price Administrator Hen
derson advised housewives that the
meat deficiency probably would con-
tinue for another month or six
weeks-until heavy run of live
stock reached the markets in the
fall. He also urged packers to
spread their supplies without favor
ing cities with higher retail ceilings.
An OPA spokesman revealed that
the agency was considering the
feasibility of establishing price CELL
ings on live hogs, despite compli-
Gated administrative problems in
volved.
Until recently the spokesman said,
OPA has been opposed to such a
ceiling because of the manifold difIi-
culties in attempting to fix margins
at which meat packers may operate.
Last January, when OPA was dis
cussing temporary price ceilings on
pork, the Agriculture Department
was reported to have urged OPA to
fix minimums also on live hogs, but
OPA rejected the proposal.
Positions Are Reversed.
Now the positions of the two agerl-
cies are understood to have been
reversed. with the Agriculture De-
partment opposed to the price CELL
ing because of the administrative
difficulties and the effect on farm
ers and OPA apparently convinced
that the live hog ceiling is necessary.
Under the Price Control Ace, OPA
can not fix such a ceiling without
the approval of the Secretary of
Agriculture.
Meanwhile. Wilbur La Roe. jr..
counsel for the Emergency Confer
ence Of Meat Packers. said many in
dependent meat processing plants
were faced with closing because OF
meat price squeeze. @'ssa,sss-e4. =
Mr.. La Roe said In st3tement
that small packers were forced to
curtail operations because OF the
narrow margin between uncon-
trolled prices Of hogs and cattle and
the ceiling prices on meat products.
