Traitor Stephan Put
Under 24-hour Guard
In Michigan Prison
Tovernkeeper to Hang
In 68 Days Unless
Sentence Is Appealed
p the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Aug. Squat Max
Stephan began today in closely
guarded confinement the So days Of
life that remain to him before he
must go to the gallows for treach-
cry to America in time Of war.
Guards Of the Federal Prison at
Milan, from which Stephan was
brought yesterday to hear his death
sentence, resumed their 24-hour
watch over the man for whom time
is running out because a court Of
his adopted government found him
faithless-guilty Of treason.
Boasts He Won't Hang.
That was the only word from the
prison. True to q custom Of years
standing during which little has
ever been said of inmates at Milan,
officials Of the institution gave out
no advices about Stephan.
A deputy Federal marshal. how
ever, said that Stephan still boasted
that he would not hang.
"Ill bet all the tea in China I
won't hang" Deputy John w. In
gram quoted the prisoner as saying
on his way back to Milan.
Thus the 50-year-old German
born tavernkeeper, a naturalized
American, returned to the cell-life
which has been his since he broke
into headlines last April for having
aided a fleeing Nazi prisoner OF
war. For this he was sentenced to
hang on Friday, November 13.
Appeal Permissible.
Judge Tuttle, In pronouncing the
historic sentence, declared that
Stephan's entire interest was to
aid Germany's cause" when he pro-
vided food, drink. lodging and
transportation to 1t. Hans Peter
Krug. Krug had fed from a Ca
madam concentration camp. He was
recaptured in Texas.
An appeal from the death sem
tence is permissible. Verne c. Am
berson. Stephan's attorney, said he
had made no decision on an appeal,
adding: Remember, attorneys sell
their services, not themselves"

Three Swedish Ships
To Sail Today With
Food for Greece
Vessels Leave Montreal
Under BeI|ieerents'
Sdfe-Conduct Guarantee

Three Swedish ships loaded with
wheat to help feed the starving
POPULATION OF Greece are scheduled
to sail from Montreal today under
safe conduct guarantees Of all the
belligerents, the State Department
announced today.
The shipment is the beginning Of
a program for sending $1,000 tons
Of wheat or flour from North Amer
lea to Greece each month, subject
to an agreement that a neutral
commission will supervise distribu-
ton Of the supplies to make sure
they do not benefit the Axis.
Commission Set Up.
A Swedish Swiss commission, the
department said, has been set up
to handle the actual distribution
Of the relief supplies under the
general supervision of the Interna-
tional Red Gross Committee In
Greece.
!. Reports reaching the depart
ment from Greece" the announce
ment said" have portrayed condi-
tions Of suffering from inanition
and death from starvation appalling
almost beyond belief"
American oficials recently return
ing from Europe have confirmed
that small quantities of foodstuffs
which have been sent to Greece
during the last year with the CO.
operation of the Turkish government
have been distributed effectively by
the International Red Cross Com
mittee, and consumed by the Greek
people only" the department added.
Many Saved From Death.
Although the supplies already
sent have "unquestionably saved
many persons from DEATH" they
have been inadequate to prevent
starvation conditions generally, the
department emphasized.
Negotiations leading to the new
program were undertaken 1T the
initiative Of the Swedish Red Cross
The Swedish government agreed
that Swedish vessels be used In the
relief work, and the program was
decided on after the German and
Italian governments agreed to the
conditions laid down by the United
States, Great Britain and Canada
for distribution Of the supplies.

spiracy charges, identified the

Kaupp replied.
Q. why didn't you talk about it?"
A. II didn't know Kessemeier

Mr.. Kaupp, one Of = series Of

Aroff, on Stand, Insists
He Took Mariin's S Car
To Sell Il for Singer
Naval Officer to Foee
Cross Exuminotion on
Transaction Today
b, the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. LIT.
Comdr Maurice N. Aroff's personal
defense against Navy charges he
accepted Tony Martins $3.50 car as
a gift rested today on a contention
he has made repeatedly--that he
took the automobile only so he could
sell It for the singer-actor.
The 36-year -old ofIicer. testifying
In his own behalf before stx.1udge
naval court, quoted in support OF
his case from conversations he said
he had had with Martin.
Offered Use u Car.
The singer, arriving here in haste
from Chicago last January to be
sworn into the Navy, offered him the
use Of the automobile, Aroff related,
because he had been unable to pick
up one for Aron in the East. as the
commander had asked him to do.
IT you don't want to use IT., the
defendant quoted Martin, use 1t for
trade-in as personal favor to
me- You don't have to pay for it
rgiht away. I'll call my agent and
tell him"
The agent. Nat Goldstone, was
called, Aroff said. and later con-
firmed the conversation by letter.
1t. G. Ray Robinson, attorney for
Aroff, then demanded that the judge
advocate, 1t. Irving Klein, produce
"the personal files OF the accused"
intimating that the letter was there
in and had been seized by naval
intelligence officers investigating the
case.
Copy Of Letter Read.
The letter was not forthcoming.
however. In its absence, 1t. Robin
son read what he said was q copy
of q copy Of the letter taken from
agent Goldstone's files.
The prosecution version Of the
automobile transaction, keystone of
its charges of scandalous behavior
and falsehood against Aroif, is that
the car was an outright gift from
Martin to Arod, accepted by the
latter as compensation for his efforts
in helping the singer obtain q naval
chief specialists rating.
Arof1 was to be cross-examined
today.

ploys $4,000 women. A large per-
centage Of these are married. But
I was informed by an executive
that there has not been an ex-

Shortage Of Women Workers.
There is, however, a tremendous
shortage Of feminine labor reported
~ the big employment agencies.
According to q job-finder at one Of
the biggest, the Provident Employ
ment Service:
There are more jobs for women
than women available. We believe
the chief reason Is not so much that
married women have resigned, but
that better jobs are open for them In
defense work. The Government In
Washington is offering Junior STEM
ographers $120 q month for a speed
OF 80 words minute. Private EN-.
ployers find 1t hard to compete with
that. AL defense offices offer girls
from five to ten dollars more q week.
That is the reason for the wholesale
designations from civilian jobs"
According to figures at the Ma
tional Employment Exchange, not
only are old married women stick
ing to their jobs, but many young
brides are applying for secretarial
work because their husbands have
been drafted and they are forced to
be self-supporting.
The case now rests with the jury
