ingalls, Case Given
To Jury, Warnedon
Suspicious Evidence
Judge Says Statement
Flyer Cove to F. B. |.
Was 'SeIf-Servine'
Earlier Story on Page A-2.)


The case of Laura ingalls,,
aviatrix charged with serving as
an unregistered German agent,
was submitted to District Court
jury at 4:30 o'clock this after
noon.
In his charge to the jury of two
women and ten men Justice James
w. Morris warned that a statement
which Miss ingalls, dictated at the
Federal Bureau of Investigation at
the time of her arrest contained
some 'relf-revealing declarations. "
which, under the law, could not be
given the same weight as evidence
contrary to her interests.
The court also pointed out. in re-
ferring to the testimony of Miss
Julia KrauSs, the admitted inter
mediary between Miss ingalls, and
the German Embassy, that the testi-
mony of an accomplice should be
viewed with suspicion, although that
did not mean the jury must disre-
gard it. He added it could be given
full weight if believed.
In the closing argument for the
Government this afternoon M. Neil
Andrews. special assistant to the At
torney General asked the jury Ito
interrupt the career of Mata Hari
for a little while"
On the witness stand, Miss ingalls,
had described herself as "a Mata
Hari, an international spy" in ex-
planning that she had intended to
serve this Government while posing
as a German agent.

'0vergrown'
BorkIey Will Ask
Repeal Of Pensions
For Congressman
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

In the most heated senate de-
bate over non-defense spending
and congressional pensions since
the United States went to war.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland today called the Gov
ernment IAN overgrown mon
strosity from top to bottom"
then shouted:
Thank God the men on Bataan
Peninsula this afternoon don't know
all that is going on here, or their
discouragement would be great in
deed"
The debate had been touched of
shortly after noon when Majority
Leader Barkley told the Senate he
would ask speedy repeal of the re-
Gently approved legislation provid-
ing pensions for members of Con-
gress.
Calling the passage of the bill
"unwise, untimely and unfortunate,
Senator Barkley announced that if
the repeal proposal is not brought
before the Senate soon, he will offer
an amendment to some other pend
ing legislation to accomplish the
same purpose.
Would Have Voted Against.
Senator Barkley explained he was
not present the day the Senate
adopted the provision making all
elected Federal officials eligible to
join the civil service retirement
fund, declaring he would have voted
against it If he had been present.
Declaring in the course Of the de-
bate he was arising to speak for the
soldiers in Gen. MacArthur's front
line, Senator Tydings asserted,
while they are dying out there, we
are destroying here what they are
fighting to preserve"
Senator Tydings deplored what he
called the lack of leadership In high
places to prevent new strikes in
defense plants, and also criticized
some of the selections made by the
administration for key Government
posts
Senator Tydings asserted I'VE are
not fighting a New Deal war or an
Old Deal war" and added, and Il
think men like Wendell Willkie
should have a place in this Govern
ment at this time I am a Demo-
crat, and l did not support him. but

real interest in winning this war"
Praising Senator Byrd, Democrat,
of Virginia as one Of the most able

Senator Tydings said the Virginian
had the vision long ago to foresee
the need for curtailment of nom
essential spending in Government
land the disclosures already brought
out by the Byrd committee are

Kramer Junior Hiqh
Turned Over
For Defense Work
D. c. Heads Agree
To Use in Order to
Hasten Completion
Earlier Story on Page B-1S.)

With completion of the build
ing a first aim. the District Com
missioners today signed an
agreement to permit the use dur
ing the emergency of the Kramer
Junior High School building in
Anacostia as office space for de-
fense workers.
However, the War Production
Board has yet to decide whether to
grant priorities for completion Of the
building for Government office space
or for school purposes, or whether it
can afford to grant priorities for its
completion for any purpose.
The Commissioners voiced hopes
the building could be used for school
purposes, but signed an agreement
with w. E. Reynolds Of the Public
Buildings Administration to turn the
structure over for Government office
use on the grounds that if the build
ing were needed for defense pur-
poses they should not handicap the
defense effort. ..
The agreement provides that If
this is done the building will be re-
turned to the District after the emer-
gency period is over, that no struc-
tural changes will be made without
District approval. 1t also states
that any extra expense for changes
of partitions or otherwise will be
borne by the United States. that
later the United States will restore
the building to its original plan, and
that the cost of maintenance and
operation during the emergency will
be borne by the United States.
The Board of Education has petit
toned the War Production Board for
priorities to finish the building as a
school This movement has the sup
port of civic and school groups. If
the building is completed as Gov
ernment Office space, school and Dis
trict authorities will have to work
out some kind of substitute plans for
housing pupils of the Anacostia area.

1t is understood that British posi-

success.
Shops Remain Open.
An unusual atmosphere prevailed
this morning Almost everyone
seemed buoyant and full of hope
that the ordeal through which the
city is now passing would soon end
successfully for the defending forces
Coffee shops and food stalls opened
early and did brisk business. Many
large commercial hourses remained
open as usual.
No panic was caused by the jap
anese shelling and by japanese
planes roaring overhead.
Heavy punishment which British
guns are inf1icting on the enemy
evoked great demonstrations of en-

Inhabitants Disperse by Day.
The Singapore Free Press-the

today on its single sheet:

far as possible into open spaces near
the city, where they can conceal
themselves from observation from
the air, and to return home at dusk
All public roads, gardens and pri-
vate houses have been thrown open
for this purpose. The public is ad-
vised for its own safety to move by
side roads and lanes rather than
by main roads.
