We were fighting for the richest and
most powerful Nation in the world

On Nazi Sabofeurs

Are Not Yet Decided
b. the Associated Press.

B, tho Associated Press.
The Government will deal swiftly
and thoroughly" with the eight Nazi
saboteurs who landed on American
shores from U-boats, Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle promised yesterday.
While he did not say what specific
charges might be brought, other
sources pointed out that the death
penalty could be asked.
The question of prosecution has
not yet been settled" Mr.. Biddie
said. There are a number of COM
plicating legal factors involved.
However. you may be sure that the
Justice Department will proceed with
this case swiftly and thoroughly"
Because the dynamiters came
ashore in German military uniforms
and then changed to civilian clothes.
they could be classed as spies and
shot. Under the Espionage Act, they
might be imprisoned up to 80 years.
Two Were U. S. Citizens.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton reported that two Of the agents
were American citizens. This might
make the two subject to the laws
of treason-and a possible death
penalty.
The fact that the Germans, who
have boasted of their efficiency in
subversive activities. resorted to the
expedient of smuggling in saboteurs
showed that Nazi attempts to build
up a sabotage system in pre-war
days had been crushed. officials said.
Both Mr. Biddle and j. Edgar
Hoover, FBI director, have as
serted in the past that efforts to es-
tablish an internal system Of sabo-
tage in the United States had failed.
Just before the entrance of the
United States into the war, and
since. there has been a series Of pro-
secutions and convictions under laws
relating to subversive activities.
At New York, Mr.. Hoover said
that all OF the eight men arrested
had been members Of either the
German American Bund or the
Friends of New Germany before they
went to Germany some time between
1899 and 1941.
Black Tom Blast Recalled.
While the United States suffered
from some sabotage in the World
War, notably the Black Tom explo-
sion, those activities were carried
out by agents in the country before
the declaration Of war with Ger
many.
The Black Tom explosion-of huge
quantities of munitions in the
Kingsland, N. j., area-destroyed
millions of dollars worth of property.
Whether or not it was caused by sa-
boteurs was point of controversy
for many years. A German-Ameri-
can Mixed Claims Commission final
ly decided that it was.
That decision was rendered after
the German member had withdrawn
in protest against some of the evi-
dence admitted
Although there were reports dur
ing the World War that some agents
had been smuggled in on sabotage
missions, Justice Department Off
cials said they were unable to find
any authentic record Of such
incidents.

Court Holds Union
Check.0ff Implies
Power 10 Bargain
Appellate Body Sustoins
Labor Bourd in Case
Involving Steel Firm

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today held that check-off
cards, signed by employees. consti-
tute evidence of authority for a
union to bargain collectively.
The opinion was handed down
in the case of the Lebanon Steel
Foundry, Lebanon, Pa, VS.. the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. The
steel firm had appealed from a
board order which had directed it
to recognize check-off cards as evi-
dence that the Steel Workers Or
ganizing Committee had the right
to represent the company's employees
as their bargaining agent.
Associate Justice Wiley Rutledge
wrote the majority opinion, in which
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
concurred. Associate Justice Har-
old Stephens dissented
A total of 358 Lebanon employees
had signed checkoff cards authoriz-
ing the steel company to deduct
union dues from their salaries and
send the money to the unions sec
retary-treaSurer. Since a ma Iority
of the workers had signed the cards,
the union claimed that the cards
conferred upon it the right to bar
gain collectively for the men.
The company, in refusing late in
1910 to recognize this authority,
claimed that the language of the
cards contained nothing to indicate
intention on the part of the men
to authorize collective bargaining
On this the majority opinion
stated: Lawyers formulae. for
malities and words are not needed
The agreements or authorizations
are 1aborers', not scriveners'. ex-
pressions of intention. They are
expected to be made in the work
ingman's manner, not in that of
management as it conducts corpo-
rate affairs, with a lawyer at its side.
Labor has its own uSages, Gus
toms and practices. Other persons
are not always familiar with them.
Unions are no longer in the
smorphous stage in which they have
no traditions or motives for doing
things They now have vocabu-
larry or language of their own. in
some instances as unintelligle to
outsiders as Gaelic to a Greek
During the period of the dispute,
the steel firm continued to recog-
nize an independent group of en-
ployes as the bargaining group.
Associate Justice Stephens, in his
dissenting opinion, said: L think
it clear that the checkoff cards say
nothing expressly on the subject of
authority for collective bargaining,
and I am unable to conclude that
they imply anything on that sub
ject."
In regard to the majority opinion,
which says that lawyers formulae
are not requisite. Justice Stephens
said: This argument I think but
sets up a straw man to knock
down. There is no contention by
the appellant (steel firm that a
collective bargaining choice has to
be evidenced by technically worded
document, and no such contingent
can, I think, be fairly attributed to
the insistence that there must be
substantial evidence of authority to
bargain"

CHICAGO, June 29.-The flancee
Of one Of eight Nazi saboteurs who
landed on the East Coast from Ger
man submarines said last night that
she was ashamed and through with
him" and that she had a hunch
something was wrong"
The woman, Mrs. Gerda Melind,
"a, a widow of four years and beauty
operator in a Loop hotel, said in an
interview that she was to have been
married this week to Herbert Hans
Haupt, %, one of two saboteurs ar
rested here yesterday.
She said she met Haupt, a former
ROTC cadet, about three and half
years ago, and had discussed mar
riage. About year ago, she added,
Haupt suddenly announced he was
going to visit California" and with
the exception of a single postcard
from st. Louis, soon thereafter, she
hadn't heard from him or learned
his whereabouts until this week.
Terribly Nervous"
She said Haupt's mother, Erma,
telephoned her last Tuesday, saying:
''Herbert's back, but he doesn't say
anything. L don't know where he's
been. All I know is that he's ter
ribly nervous"
Mrs. Melind said she saw him at
dinner at his parents home that
night and "he was nervous, all
right"
Il thought maybe it was because
he hadn't registered for the draft,
but he told me he had gone down
that day and they had been awfully
nice to him. I asked him where
he'd been and he said only that he'd
gone through a lot I asked him
how he came back and he didn't
say anything.
He called me Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, but I wouldn't see
him. I had hunch there was
something wrong. and I said Id
see him Saturday, figuring that if
there was something wrong, they'd
have him by then. He had men
toned marriage Tuesday. and we
agreed to be married this week.
After this I'll follow my lunches"
Liked Hitler's Policies.
She said she was shocked to learn
about his arrest. I never suspected
him of any activity of that kind
He always appeared to be gentle
man, interested in reading and mu-
sic. He played the piano and was
especially fond of the music OF
Schubert.
II knew that he liked Hitler's
policies, but that was a couple OF
years ago and we weren't in the war
Now I am ashamed of him and don't
want anything more to do with
him."
