German Spy
IS Executed
Wondsworth Prison
Scene of Retribution

LONDON, Jan. 90 (P) -
Franciscus Johannes Winter, a
40-year-old German spy who
came to Britain in the guise of
a refugee, was executed today in
Wandsworth prison, the home
office announced.
Winter, who was born in Ant
werp, Belgium, was stated to
have been sent to Britain by the
German secret service to obtain
employment on ship and then
report the movement of any
seagoing convoy in which he
sailed.
He arrived last July 81 at
British port as passenger on a
British ship and told immigra-
ton authorities he escaped from
Belgium and made his way
across France to Spain.
The home office said British
authorities questioned his story,
in which he persisted for a long
time, and he finally admitted it
was "a pack of lies"
Then, it was said, he asserted
the journey was arranged by
the German secret service to get
reports on convoy movements.
The Germans taught him how to
use invisible ink and he was
given an address in a neutral
country to which letters with
his convoy reports were to be
sent.
Winter was tried in secret and
was convicted and sentenced to
death Dec. 4. He appealed but
the appeal was dismissed
Jan. IL.
He was the 18th spy to die in
Britain since the start of the
war, equallying the number
executed in World War /. In the
preceding conflict, however, 10
in all were sentenced to death
but some sentences were not
carried out and one spy commit
ted suicide.

MethOdists
to Destroy
Mortgage

Members of First Methodist
church will celebrate the freeing
Of their church of debt following
a $50 o'clock dinner Friday
night at which mortgage
burning ceremony by the Board
Of Trustees will highlight the
program.
A musical program featuring
vocal solos, the KiWanis singers
and instrumental selections will
follow the dinner in the church
gymnasium.
Members also will be cele-
brating the 123rd year of
Methodism in the city and the
18th year of worship in the pres
ent beautiful gothic structure.
The dream of years came true
last month when the last dollar
of Indebtedness was paid. The
building originally cost 100000
in addition to pipe organ val
ued at $4,000.
Up to 1886, the Methodist So
ciety had not owned its places of
worship. In this year, a Board of
Trustees was elected. consisting
of j. f. Hall, j. F. Seaman, j.
Truxbury, d. t. Bishop, and II.
Pratt, who proceeded to erect
building at the corner of New
and Pine streets on a lot pre-
sumably donated by Christian
Clemens, which place was used
until 1849. From 1849 to 1925,
the Methodists owned the prop
erty where the Monitor-Leader
building now stands, and the
old frame structure that stood
there was erected in 1882.
The late DR.. Dwight Ramsdell
was the pastor who led the con-
gregation in disposing of the old
property and erecting the new
edifice at Cass and North. Then
came in succession the fine
leadership of four outstanding
pastors: DR.. S. D. Eva, DR.. E. H.
Wilcox, DR.. w. c. Donald, DR..
Dunning Idle, who, with the sac
rifice of the 600 members,
brought the church through the
depression years with its full
program. The present pastor.
Rev. A. p. Landon, arrived its
full program. The present pas
tor, Rev. A. P. Landon, arrived
in time to witness the burning
of the mortgage.

Speaker Hits

BY JOSEPH ID. BARBER

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. IS
- (P) - Woolgrowers of the
nation were warned today to
guard against the encroach-
ments of bureaucrats lest, in

of congress, they end by making

In speech prepared for de-
livery at the opening session of
the National Woolgrowers AS
ISOLATION convention, c. B.
Wardlaw of Del Rio. Tex, as
ISOLATION president, told the dele
gates there is a strong and

While offering "full cooper

Regarding the wool situation,
Wardlaw asserted that as a re-
suit of heavy imports. mills
which previously used only do
mestic wool are using Australian
wool almost exclusively for
their civilian business.

Orderly Draft

LANSING, Jan. 90 (RD -
Col. lie Roy Pearson, adjutant
general of Michigan and state
selective service director, told
essential industries today they
may plan for the orderly draft
ing of employees who are subject
to military service.
Such plans, embodied in re-
placement schedules, he said,
will be a guide to local draft
boards in granting individual
deferments, but Pearson's SUBJ
ordinates said that if local
boards ignored the schedules
the state headquarters could file
appeals for an employer to keep
faith" with the employees.
"All war industries will be
given an opportunity" Pearson
said, Ito prepare replacement
schedules as a means of advis-
ing selective service agencies
when men may be withdrawn
from their industries without
seriously impeding the war pro-
duction for approval, but that
the plan was intended generally
Nor those industries engaged in
at least IS per cent in war pro-
duction, or contributing essen
TALLY to the success of the war.
Replacement schedules should
be submitted to the state direc-
tor for his approval, the an
nouncement said. Once ap-
proved, such schedules will
cover a period of six months,
subject to renewal. Details of the
plan will be broadcast through
local chambers of commerce and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-(P)
With sentiment increasing for
adoption of the Ruml pay-as-
you-go tax plan, or a modified
version of it, the House ways
and means committee will meet
Thursday to begin the job of
raising new revenue to help Off
set a national debt approaching
$21O, 100000.
In announcing the meeting,
Chairman d 0 u G h ton (D-NC)
said he hoped to clear through
the committee by the end of the
week legislation to boost the
debt limit from SIPS, 900, 900, 900
to $21O,O0O,O0O, 900. Only per-

complicated field of financing
the war.
First attention will be given
to the pay-as-you-go plan of col
lection, Doughton said, on the
theory that the methods Of rails
ing the revenue can be consid-
cred better after the form Of
collection is settled.
While generally agreed that
taxes must be collected on cur
rent basis by deducting them
regularly from pay checks,
committee members are far
from agreed on the best pro-
cedure.
Principal objections to the
plan advocated by Beardsley
Ruml of New York have been
that it would result in the loss
of one years taxes to the Treas
ury, since some committee men,
bers content taxpayers hardly
could be asked to pay in 1943
the tax normally due from 1912
income and at the same time
pay currently their 1943 levies.
Advocates, however, said they
had gained strength for their
cause through an argument by
Ruml that the treasury stood to
gain, rather than lose, revenue
over the long haul.
In a letter to Representative
Carlson (R-Kas), a committee
member, Ruml said he shared
the opinion of many that mot
only would there be no loss, but
that the gain might be substan-
tial.
ANY gross loss" he said,
go - is so small as compared
