Reading Of Documents
Fills Today's Session
OF Saboteur Trial
FBI Droenet Is Spread
For More Aides After
Arrest Of Ia
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The military commission try
ing the eight Nazi saboteurs re-
vealed today in an official COM
munique that it had spent two
and a half hours this morning
reading documents"
This was the only information on
the trial revealed to the public in the
official statement, the eighth issued
since the start of the trial last
Wednesday.
The text of the communique read
'The president of the Military
Commission announced today the
commission convened at 10 am
Most of the morning was taken ur
with the reading Of documents.
"The commission adjourned al
1890 pm. 1t will convene at 1:3(
pm. and sit without regard t.
hours" Shortly before issuance o.
the latest communique rumors cir.
culated that the IA contacts of the
saboteurs, who have been rounded
up by the FBI, might be called as
witnesses before the trial commits
sion. Justice Department officials
refused either to deny or confirm
the reports.
No Witnesses at Hearing.
Since the commission revealed for
the first time that no witnesses had
appeared before 1t, there was specu-
lation that the prosecution had
rested its case. However, the de-
fense, as far as is known, has not
placed any witnesses on the stand.
The communique contained less
information than any of its seven
predecessors. Newspapermen had
been led to believe that subsequent
statements issued by the trial COM
mission would contain more details.
The dragnet spread by the, FBI
for German sympathizers in the
United States who are believed to
have aided the saboteurs is expected
to turn up at least a half dozen
more victims, it was indicated earlier
at the Justice Department.
Charges of treason are expected to
be brought against some of the IA
alreday in custody.
The IA include Maria Kerling,
wife of Edward John Kerling leader
of one group of four well equipped
and heavily financed Nazi agents
who landed from a German sub
marine south of Jacksonville, June
II. Also held are the parents and
uncle of Herbert Hans Haupt, a
member of Kerling's squad. They
are Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Max Haupt
and Walter Wilhelm Froehling.
Only One Born in U. S.
Only one native American, Miss
Hedwig Engemann. born in Brook
lyn, was among the IA. The others
were German-born, but nine had
become American citizens by natu-
ralization
No formal charges have yet been
placed against them. And while
no Justice Department official
would allow himself to be quoted,
some expressed the opinion that a
variety of charges would be filed to
fit the part of the IA arrested.
Bearing out the report that others
are to be apprehended, the Justice
Department announcement of the
arrest of the original IA, said:
investigation of their activities,
and OF other possible contacts, is
still under way"
Meanwhile, the trial of the eight
enemy agents gave indications of
slowing up. The prosecution was
expected to close it's case late yes

Precautions Taken

Asks New Front
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July IA. German
occupation authorities were re-
ported today to have put the
Netherlands on an invasion"
footing and enforced new de-
fense precautions in Belgium and
Northern France as the British
press clamored with growing in
sistence for a second front to
help Russia.
A Dutch government spokesman
said information had been received
that many important German mill
tory Offices at The Hague had been
moved inland to Hilversum and
other points closer to the German
border following a tour of Holland
by Field Marshal Karl Rudolf Gerd
Won Rundstedt.
Many Hostages Seized.
A Netherlander who has just
reached London from Holland said
many Nazi families and high Ger
man government officials have
moved from coastal provinces to
Drente and Oerijsul provinces
along the German frontier.
The escaped Netherlander said
a large number of hostages had
been seized in Belgium and North
ern France on Marshal Won Rund-
stedt's orders. The German con-
trolled Dutch radio announced yes
terday that many more hostages
had been seized in the Netherlands.
Earlier this spring 81 Netherland-
ers were executed by the Germans
on charges of plotting to aid an
Allied invasion, 1000 former Neither
lands officers were interned and 460
prominent Netherlanders seized as
hostages.
Equipment Moved.
The Belgian government-in- exile
said it had received word that the
Germans had halted all construc-
ton work in Belgium except widen
ing of paved roads over which
motorized divisions could be rushed
to the coast.
Equipment from dismounted Bel
gian defenses in the north has been
moved to coastal areas and three
Nazi defense lines now extend about
9 miles deep from the Channel, a
Belgian government source said.
Despite the stern new Nazi meas
ures, the Belgian spokesman said
a steel mill had been blown up at
Charleroi and that 1000 tons OF
fax intended for German para
chutes had been burned in Central
Belgium.

Higher Taxes
(Bremerton News-searchlight)


All realize that higher taxes are an unavoidable
necessity But no existing tax should be increased,
and no new tax should be imposed, without the most
careful analysis of it's justice and its effect upon
the producers and workers of the country, AT this
time there is considerable agitation for heavy in
creases in social security taxes means of help
ing finance defense. In the opinion of many an
economist and public official that would be extreme
ly dangerous, AS Senator Vandenburg said, 1.-THE
proposal to raid social security payroll taxes for
the benefit of the general Treasury is unsound UNI
wise and potential breach of trust 1t would be
an unethical departure from sound practice. When
we leave sound fiscal ground in this emergency, we
are off into the 'no-inans land of disaster.
The wise course would be the imposition of
straight war and defense taxes which involve no
subterfuge and no deception. The social security
taxes were never designed to produce revenue for
all purposes They are instead special taxes, levied
against employer and employee, to give measure
of unemployment aid and old-age security to work
ers In other words they are form of insurance.
The American people are fully aware Of the need
for higher taxes. But they don't want camouflaged
leves Congress duty now is two-fod-first, the
maximum possible reduction in on-defense spending
in all fields, no matter whose toes are stepped on;
second war tax bill which will raise directly and
without deception the additional revenue the Treas
ury must have. A sound fiscal policy is as much a
part of war great armies and navies.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOmpeW
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2s

Il +. EDIbof1LkA 80
Benefic aspects balance adverse
influences today The week should
end with encouraging war news for
the Allies. The stars inspire de-
cisions that require courage.
HEART AND HOME: Women are
subject to unfavorable planetary
sway. They may be depressed and
inclined to lack interest in. their
usual weekend programs. The seers
emphasize the Importance of keep
ing a positive attitude of mind
which rejects fears and apprehen-
sions. Tests to courage are pre-
saged for many residents on the At
lantic and Pacific Coasts, but
American families are to prove
their splendid qualities. The Pearl
Harbor disaster demonstrated the
fortitude OF women and more hero
ines are now in the making.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: AS spring
advances the development of many
natural resources will reach amaz-
ing success. Through the summer
mining will supply rare minerals
and oil supplies will be more than
adequate for war. needs. The re-
serve powers of the business world
will be demonstrated as aid con-
tinues to flow generously to Europe
and Asia, An. epidemic. may affect
staffs of clerks and employees.
Public health measures, however,
will reduce the hazards in the ma
ton which is we'll fed. Abroad there
will be much illness to which mall
nutrition contributes.
| NATIONAL ISSUES: Foreign as
trologers read in the foundation
map of the United States warn
ing of danger through craze for
speculation and pleasure. Rack
eteering in efforts to profit through
war necessities is foreseen. Strikes
and Industrial troubles may be ex-
pected although they will dimin-
ish in number. The stars seem tC
indicate that employers as well as
employees are to blame for SER
ious delays in production for wal
needs. However. the great army OF
American workers is staunch in its
part of the battle for freedom.
| INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
The conjunction of Jupiter anc
Mercury on the foundation sun. OF
Canada last July was read as pre-
saying the growth of the domin-
ions power in world affairs. The
year should be fortunate for OUT
neighbor. The death of national
leader is indicated and there may
be a minor political crisis, but Can
ada is subject to the most prom
ising development for the future
when relations with the United
States will be closer than in the
past.
| Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of fail
gain and more than average hap
piness despite war anxieties.
! Children born on this day will
be talented and ambitious. They
may be too generous for their own
good but they will probably have
plenty Of money.
