taken to Chicago to testify
against six of the alleged con-
facts of one OF the Nazi agents
who paid the death penalty
Herbert Hans Haupt.
Trial of the six contacts of Haupt
among them his parents, relatives
and friends-is scheduled to start
in a Federal court in Chicago next
Monday. All of them were indicted
there September S on charges Of
giving aid and comfort to the
enemy by harboring Haupt after
he returned to this country on a
U-boat in July to aid his seven
associates carry out q program
mapped out by the German high
command for destruction Of vital
American war industry.
The two enemy agents, who es-
capped the electric chair and were
given long prison sentences instead
as a reward for information they
were said to have given the FBI,
are George John Dasch, leader of
four Nazi agents who landed from
a German submarine on the Long
Island coast, and Ernest Peter
Burger.
Under Close Guard.
Since execution of six Of their
associates, they have been kept
under close surveillance in the Dis
trict Jail awaiting the trial Of
Haupt's contacts instead of being
transferred to a Federal prison.
Those scheduled to go on trial
Monday are Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Max
Haupt, parents of Richard Haupt;

Mrs. Otto Richard Wergen, friends
of the Haupt family
The prosecution will be directed
by Albert Vol. United States dis
trict attorney in. Chicago. and his
chief assistant, Earl Hurley. Mr..
Vol is understood to have been in
Washington last week, arranging
final details for the trial with Of
f1cials of the Criminal Division of
the Department of Justice.
Some of the heretofore closely
guarded evidence against the eight
saboteurs developed at their trial
in Washington in July before a spe-
cial military commission appointed
by President, is expected to be made
public during the trial in Chicago.
Was Youngest Put to Death.
Haupt was the youngest of the six
saboteurs who died in the electric
chair. He was one of the four who
landed from a U-boat on the Florida
coast just south of Jacksonville.
Information revealed by the FBI
showed that he went Immediately to
Chicago and there contacted his
family and friends. The TBI said
that his parents and friends not
only concealed his return, TO this
country on mission of sabotage,
but also aided him In hiding large
sum of money German officials had
given him with which to aidsin car

ton.

needed for military service, it seems
to me it is not asking too much that
they be given the protection this
amendment would afford" Senator
Lee said.
"A training camp is q school
teaching the most serious business
In the world. Liquor is not allowed
to be sold in or near the schools
these boys would be attending If
they were not needed In the war
effort.
II shall press for adoption of this
amendment with every power at my
command"
The Military Affairs Committee
previously rejected the proposal.
Although a number of Senators
believe that issue should be debated
separately, leaders predicted it
would pass If put to a roll call.
Liquor Ban Idea Explained.
1t would prohibit the sale, pos
session, use or gift of all alcoholic
beverages, including beer, in Army
and Navy posts and within surround
ing areas to be designated by the
Secretary of War. The Secretary of
War would act in the case of naval
stations as we'll as Army camps.
Such a step has been urged by
the Womens Christian Temperance
Union and other organizations. Both
Senators and Representatives have
been inserting in the Congressional
Record in recent weeks petitions
from constituents asking restrictions
on the use of liquor by soldiers and
sailors.
a In the background for later Sen
ate consideration were, two other
pressing issues-manpower legisla-
ton and House-approved bill abol-
ishing State poll taxes. The Senate
Military Affairs Committee will be-
gin hearings on four manpower bills
Wednesday, but informed legislators
said the poll tax measure was not
likely to come to a vote in the Sen
ate until after the November 3 elec-
tionS.
