Reich-Born Engineer
Indicted Here for
Improper Registration
Stoten Island m. " Man
Held Agent Of Nozi
Propaganda Office

Carl Guenther Bosnian Orgell, 43,
a German-born engineer now living
in Staten Island, N. Y, was in
dicted today by the Federal grand
jury here on charges of violating the
Foreign Agents Registration Act by
failing TO disclose in his registration
statement that he was an agent of
the German government.
Orgell came to this country in
1923 and was naturalized in 1881.
He is now employed by New York
industrial construction company.
The indictment charges that Or
CELL, in registering with the State
Department as foreign agent in
October, 1898, and in subsequent
registrations in 1899, 1910 and 194l,
failed to set forth that among the
principals for whom he was acting
in the United States were the Ger
man Foreign Office and the foreign
organization of the Nazi party. 1t
also charged that he misrepresented
the nature of the business in which
his designated principal was en-
gagged.
According to the indictment, Or
gell in his registration statement
named as his principal the Volks-
bund Fuer das DeutSchtum in Aus
land. describing it as "a private
membership society whose activities
were non-political and not of a
propaganda nature" adding that it
was engaged in strictly private cul-
tural activities"
The indictment pointed out that
this organization referred to is an
agency Of the German Reich and
the Nazi party, and that it has
operated as propaganda agency
for the German government. Ac-
cordlng to the findings of Federal
investigators, one of Orgell's activi-
ties was the recruiting of members
of this organization who were then
sent publications and other propa-
ganda material issued by German
government agencies.
If convicted, Orgell faces the pen

D. c. Payments Reported
Far Below Lost Yeor's

ing period iE 1912
Fear that they may lose their "a
gas ration cards probably has de-
tered thousands of motorists from
purchasing the IS stamps earlier, it
was said ct Mr.. Burke'S Office. If
car owner plans to continue driv-
ing his or her car, the tax must be
paid an GfflCial said.
Warning also was issued by Guy
T. Helvering, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, that motorists at
tempting 20 drive without paying
the use tax would be subjected to
severe penalties"
A suggestion by Senator Mead,
Democrat, OF New York that the
automobile use tax be withheld un-
til Congress can decide whether it
should be repealed was rejected yes
terday by the Treasury. No au-
thority for such action can be
taken, officials pointed out. as long
as the act remains on the statute
books
Senator Mead had branded the
tax "pay-as-you- don t-go plan. ="
Treasury officials pointed out that
owners who have put their cars in
dead storage need not pay the tax
until they resume driving
Today is also the final date for
holders of B" gasoline ration books
