Attorney General Biddle said to-
day that the trial OF the eight Nazi
saboteurs had demonstrated the in
adequacy of laws for dealing with
persons aiding such enemies and
that he had directed preparation of
legislation to close the loop holes.
Mr.. Biddle said the legislation
would aim at severe penalties for
conspiracy to commit sabotage and
for harboring or assisting saboteurs.
In addition. he said, it might seek
to establish legal machinery for
speeding prosecution of such cases,
with provision that convictions
could be appealed only on direction
Of the Supreme Court.
There now is no special provision
OF law covering conspiracy to COM
nit sabotage. the Attorney General
said, and while wartime sabotage
can be punished by 80 years In
prison and = 10000 fine. conspiracy
to commit sabotage must be tried
under . general statue carrying .
penalty Of two yarrs In prison and

Such of1enses, Mr.. Biddle said.

By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

BY CAkTEK BkOOAE JONES.
The secrecy that masked the
trial Of the Nazi saboteurs was
maintained as they went to
death.
After the noon hour as the six
were ushered into the execution
chamber, one by one. an ominous
quiet hung over the brick building.
No word came from military or Jail
oficials who had shown unusual ac-
tivlty since early morning. There
was no announcement from the Jail
ana newspapermen and ph0tog-
raphers waiting at an entrance,
many Of them ending 4 vigil Of "A

sentences had been carried out until
word suddenly was spread that the
White House had disclosed it.
Coroner Arrives.
Shortly before noon DR.. A. Ma

entered the Jail. presumably to act
as oficial physician. But he would
not discuss his mission.
Brig. Gen. Albert l.. Cox, District
provost marshal and his aides, the
military group who have had the
prisoners in custody since they were
brought to Washington, were seen
frequently in the downstairs cor
ridcrs during the morning. But all
of them disappeared shortly before
noon.
At the same time all the lights in
the outer downstairs corridors on
the wing of the jail where the ex-
ecution chamber is located were
turned out except for a dim light
over the switchboard. An operator
sat at the switchboard, and jail
guard roamed the outer corridors.
Otherwise they were desterted Some
attache had told the waiting news
papermen that the first execution
would be signalled by the nimming
of the lights. With all extinguished,
the reporters could not even get
this intimation of exactly when the
lethal current was turned on.
No Crowd at Scene.
Outside the Jail there was no
crowd, and no excitement. The
saboteurs' lives were ending in
drab, setting of pouring rain and
grim efficiency. Only the reporters
and photographers were waiting in
the rain. For two hours before the
execution was announced at the
White House no one was allowed to
enter or leave this wing of the Jail.
Two newspapermen who happened
to be inside barred corridor just
inside the door could not leave. But
they saw no more than did the other
newspapermen who were peering in
the barred and screened outer door.
The only person to appear who
did not have business connected
with the execution or with reporting
the event was matronly woman
who. lives nearby. She walked
through the rain and climbed the
steps to the jail entrance and waited
beside the newspapermen for more
than an hour. She refused to give
her name, but explained she had

which was based on reports re-
ceived up to l pm, EWT, fol-
lows:
North and South Pacific Areas:
Il. United States naval and other
forces have attacked enemy in
stallations In the southeast part OF
the Solomon Islands in force and
the attacks are continuing.
~. simultaneously, United States
naval forces bombarded enemy
ships and shore establishments at
Kiska.
IS. No additional information is
available at present"
The communique. No. 10l, was
issued with such suddenness that
several high officers in the Bureau
OF Public Relations did not know 1t
was coming. Newspaper cores
pondents were notified shortly after
pm. that the announcement was
expected. and 1t came shortly after
Z pm.
Observers believed that since
particular point was made of men
tioning that the attacks are 'in
force" and are continuing, they are
OF considerable magnitude.
Solomons Are Large Group
Naval officials said they could not
tell which of the islands in the
Solomon group received the attack.
The Solomon Islands, between
the New Hebrides and the Bismarck
Archipelago, extend over an area
500 miles long In northwest and
southeast direction, and up to 100
miles wide. They consist of double
row OF large mountainous islands
attaining heights OF 5000 to 10000
feet. In addition they include
great number of smaller islands
and small coral islets.
The Navy noted in the communi-
que, which detailed the battle of
the Coral Sea, that during April
: Army reconnaissance planes reported
that Japanese were concentrating
carriers and shore bases. in the
general direction of the Solomon
= and Louisiade Islands.
The Japanese went into the Aleu-
tians early in June, and despite per-
sistent attacks by our forces, have
