ated on Miss ingalls, in New York
last March. While she was In the
hospital. he noticed she was wearing
a swastika pendant and remarked
upon it. In the ensuing converse =
tion, the surgeon testified. she ex-
pressed the opinion that Hitler was
a marvellous man"
He said she spoke to him in Ger
man. which language he had studied
in school. and that she informed him
that she was preparing for the day
when Hitler would bring his new
order to the United States. Mr..
Steele testified to q conversation
along the same lines, which he said
had so impressed him that he made
notes on Miss ingalls, remarks for
possible future use. ar, -
Miss ingalls, attorney, conceded in
his opening statement to the jury
that Miss ingalls, had conspired with
high German diplomats, but insisted
that she was carrying out-on her
own initiative - counterespionage
work.
I'VE will show that Miss ingalls,
is woman Of daring initiative, am
bition and q tremendous amount of
egotism." Mr.. Reilly told the jury in
his opening statement at the trial
this afternoon.
Acted to Help Country.
He conceded the truth of charges
made by Special Assistant to the At
torney General M. Neil Andrews
that Miss ingalls, had received
money from the Germans and that
she had expressed sympathy for the
Nazi cause, but held that she was
making misguided attempt to in
gratiate" herself with the Germans
in order to get information which
would be useful to her own country.
With counterespionage in mind,
Miss ingalls, got In touch with Nazi
diplomats in Washington, the jury
was told.
She offered to act as an agent to
obtain information for them, but
was advised by Baron Ulrich Won
Gienanth, second secretary Of the
embassy, that:
The best thing you can do for
our cause is to continue to promote
America First"
With this In mind, Miss ingalls,
continued her activities in America
First and pressed the Nazis for more
important assignments, her lawyer
said.
Mr.. Reilly said that Miss ingalls,
had, on three occasions, made ap-
plication with the F. B. I. to secure
a position as a counter-espionage
agent. When the F. B. 1. turned
her down, he said, she decided to
undertake counterspy work on her
own.
The defense counsel denied
charges which had been made by
Mr.. Andrews. who opened the trial
with an outline of the prosecution S
case. that Miss ingalls, was a mis-
sionary" for the Nazis and that she
was preparing this country for the
new order Of Adolf Hitler"
With both sides conceding the ac-
curacy of most of the evidence show
ing that Miss ingalls, had financial
dealings with the Nazi Embassy
here, the jury OF 10 men and two
women was faced with the problem
Of deciding what the aviatrix's mo-
tives had been In this intrigue.

Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, Of Virginia also took the floor
to minimize the Leland Ford amend
ment which seeks to prohibit the
use Of fan dancers, movie actors
and others In the promotion of any
shows In the o. C. D. The amend
ment. he said. had no practical
effect, since there was nothing in the
bill which permitted the payment Of
q dollar Of the appropriation to pay
the salaries OF Mr.. Douglas or any
OF the other employees complained OF.
However, If I were in charge Of
the bill. would not ask for a vote
to strike this amendment out
would let 1t stay in the measure" p"
he said.
He described the amendment as a
rather gratuitous fling at one Of
the officials of the o. c. D. (mean-
ing Mrs. Roosevelt.
Mr.. WOodrum said that "It looks
like there was a lot in the once
OF Civilian Defense that was friv-
olous.' He added, however, that
there was an orderly way to deal
with the situation. 1t could be done
when in a few weeks the o. c. D.
comes before the Appropriations
Committee to ask for the money
for payment Of administration.
Meanwhile. Senator Downey
Democrat, of California, told the
Senate that Mr.. Douglas would have
preferred to have served the Once
Of Civilian Defense without pay but
was advised by his superiors that
public policy would be better served
by placing him on the payroll at
the rate Of 5000 a year for the
time spent on the job,
Senator Downey said he was
amazed and disheartened to OBJ
serve the emotional energy being
wasted" over Douglas appoint
ment.
80 far" Senator Downey de-
clared. the detractors of Mr.. Doug
las have relied more on clamor than
clarity. more on accusation than on
accuracy. They have not under
stood Mr.. Douglas position because
they were not interested in under
standing-but only in condemnation
They have characterized him a
Communist, when it has been OBJ
vious to any California newspaper
reader that he has fought the Reds
and their policies for many years
past. They have called him a prof.
teer-a profiteer. mind you-when
his ofncial duties will force him to
sacrifice a fabulous income.
They have implied that he OBJ
tanned his post because he was one
Of Mrs. Roosevelt's proteges! As
II he were some waif in need of a
job and a salary. as If he were not
ideally suited to the work to which
he has been called"
Discussing the move to prohibit
use of o. c. D. funds for morale
building activities. Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio said that if the
House failed to circumscribe the
of1ce's activities a strong effort
would be made in the Senate to
do So"

civilian plane near the Western
Cartridge Co. plant at Alton, ILL.,,
yesterday as "regrettable" incident
but said the plane committed an act
strictly In violation Of a restricted
area"
Such incidents are to be expected
II civilians don't pay heed to such

civilians don't watch their step In
such areas acciderts like this will
happen again.
This country is at war and the
public must realize it. Civilians
must pay attention to the orders
Of . sentry. The sentries have
orders to shoot and in this case the
guards were merely carrying out
their orders.
Seven Shots Hit Plane.
Notice of restricted areas is pub
hshed in the daily press. 1t is the
duty of every one to familiarize
himself with these restrictions"
Delbert Richardson. Granite City
flying instructor who was plotting
the Dlane, gave this account of the
incident:
Delbert Henson and 15-year- old
Beverly Ann Keith. taking their
frst plape ride ASKED him tn f1V
over the girls home at Alton. He
refused because he feared it was
too close to the restricted area.
He then turned the plane at an
altitude of 1.100 feet at a point he
believed was 8 or 10 miles from the
restricted zone
As he banked, the first Of seven
shots hit the ship. One pierced
Mr.. Henson's hip and stomach. An
other penetrated the gasoline tank.
forcing Mr.. Richardson to switch
to an emergency supply.
Flies Back to Airport.
Mr.. Henson slumped again Miss
Keith groaning. Mr.. Richardson.
fearing another salvo, decided
against an emergency landing de-
spite his passengers injuries and
few his crippled ship back to the
airport.
Seven Of the bullets struck the
planes under carriage, wings and
fuselage One Of them pierced the
pilots chair, only an inch from Mr..

FASTENED to do what they thought was the
Kings bidding.
Henry had no wish TO see the Archbishop
of Canterbury assassnated, but his knights
rushed into the cathedral one day while ne
at prayer at the shrine and stabbed him
as he knelt.
The steps stand to this day in spite OF
the recent attempt to destroy them from the
air. and several people state that they have
seen the shadowy figure OF the murdered
archbishop kneeling at prayer, the light OF
stained glass window above the shrine, shin
ing down on him.
1t may be that the illusion OF a faint
ghostly figure is caused by the play OF light
falling through the window at a certain time
OF the day Our representative was not able
to ascertain at what times the figure Is seen.
Ghost hunting is not OF course a wartime
occupation. There is not the time to track
them or wait their tickle appearance.
Yet during the three years Of war the
ghosts of haunted Britain have not been az
feCted by the CHASTITY vandalism of the Huns.
Indeed some of them seem 20 prefer the
sombre shades Of the blackout TO the brighter

1t is an amusing commentary. that IL the
Nazis, with all their claims of brave new
world according to their own distorted
thinkng), cannot dispel the dead Of Britain,
they certainly viii never conquer the living.
