GEORGE VIERECK
TRIAL IS OPENED
Difficulty Experienced In
Securing Jury To Try
German Agent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.- R -
George Sylvester Viereck, alleged
master-mind of pro-German prop
aganda in the United States, went
on trial today on charge of VIC
lating the agents registrtion act
but great difficulty was expert
enced in selecting a jury.
More than a score of prospective
jurymen were excused when they
said they could not approach the
case without bias, and when court
adjourned for the day only II
jurors-ten men and a woman
were in the box.
Registered as an agent of Ger.
man interests. Viereck is accused
Of withholding important informa.
ton in filing registration state.
ments with the State department
The prosecution has charged that
the Munich-born poet, author and
pamphleteer, who is naturalized
American citizen, received as
much as $4,000 in one year to
carry on propaganda.
The stocky, 57-year-old Viereck
was clad in a gray tweed suit as
he watched the long preliminaries
to the trial.
Defense counsel, in the examin.
alton of prospective jurors. asked
among other things if they had
any relatives in foreign countries
whether they believed anyone who
acted as a paid agent for the Ger
man government before the decla.
ration of war had engaged in un.
Americn or unpatriotic ACTIVITY
and whether they held a prejudice
against persons who had been iso.
lationists or non-interventionists.
More than score were excused
after they said they had opinions
which would prejudice them.
One man who served on the
jury which last week convicted
Laura ingalls,, the flier, of vio1at.
ing the registration act, was ex.
cused after he said he could M,
give Viereck fair trial. Two 9th.
ers who served on the ingalls, i,1rv
however, said they could serve
impartially. !
