Over 26 Years Of AGE
By the Associated Press


BALTIMORE, July l8.-Marylano
men over Is who cannot qualify fol
occupational deferment are being
called up gradually. but indications
are that draft quotas generally will
not increase and might even drop
slightly.
This was the substance of a re-
port yesterday from Col. Henry C
Stanwood State selective service
director. who based his prediction
OF possibly lowered quotas on the
Nays statement it was nearing its
peak of 100000 men expected at
the end of this year and already
had passed its September l goal OF
3,400,OOO.
The drafting of men over rs was
started after selective service had
reached the bottom of the barrel
of the 1926 age group, Col. STAN
wood said.
1T has not been a sudden thing ~
he said, Recently some of the
boards have not been able to supply

|Bund Drive 10 Block
U.S.. Arming Outlined
AT Sedition Trial
TronsIoted Photostats
Of Newspaper Articles
introduced in Cuse
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.


How the newspaper published by
the German-American Bund carried
on a campaign to discourage the
rearmanent Of America in 1910 was
described in translated photostats
placed before the District Court
jury today at the mass sedition trial.
In one such article read to the
jury by Special Prosecutor Joseph
w. Burns, the Bunds Wechruf und
Boebachter, also known as the Free
America, described the ordering Of
100000 identification tags for
soldiers. These tags, the writer de-
clared. would serve to identity the
soldiers when they were killed on
the battlef1elds Of Europe, and the
Army already had ordered boxes for
them to be buried in. The 26 defen.
dants are charged with conspirins
to undermine the morale of the
armed forces.
Defense Attorney Objects.
William j. Powers, a defense at.
torney. objected to the article on
tags as serving no purpose except to
preJuolce the jury.
Since then 10000 900 tags prob
ably have been ordered" he said,
Soldiers always have had identifi-
cation tags. That does not mean
they'll all be killed"
Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
overruled the objection.
Other articles charged that Presi.
dent Roosevelt has brought us to
the brink of an undeclared war,
thanks to spineless Congress" The
President, another anonymous writ.
er for the bund said. was an Anglo.
phile and Germanophobe.
The newspapers and other docu-
ments relating to the bund, hum
dreds OF them, had been identified
by William Luedtke, former national
secretary of the organization, and
this Government witness continued
his direct testimony today.
Drive Against Draft Described.
Luedtke told how the defendant
Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze. then ma
tional leader OF the bund, directed
a drive against enactment of selec.
tive service Officers of bund units
were directed to write or wire MEM
bers of Congress protesting against
the bill.
When the act became law, Luedtke
testified, Kunze told a group of
Bund onicials that he had done
everything he coud to stop the law,
and now that it had passed. the
plan would be: mo rights. no duties. =
Then followed the Bund command
advising members to do everything
possible to avoid military service.
Still another repercussion of the
ousting of James J. Laughlin by
Justice Eicher as a defense attorney
in the case came when Ernest F.
Elmhurst, defendant, filed in the
Court of Appeals a petition for a
writ of prohibition halting the trial
until the question could be heard
and asking that the trial Judge be
compelled to reinstate Mr.. Laugh
lin. Elmhurst wants to be defended

whose death in Normandy was re-
ported recently. was killed when a
line Of German tanks came down a

his battlaion was hiding. according
to a dispatch from Louis Azrael OF
the Baltimore News-Post.
Col. Warf1eld died ON the night OF
D-day plus 4, according to Mr.
Azfael's story. The officers had had
no sleep since landing: the men OF
the battalion had had only a few
hours. The dispatch continued:
They came about 2 am. to a field
near the village of lie Carrouter
Col. Warfield wanted to give his
men a rest before attacking and
wanted to reconnoiter their objec-
tive. Col. Warfield ordered his men
into roadside field"
Two officers tell the story after
this. One, Maj. Maurice Gift
Cambridge. Md. said:
Most of the battalion went In
and started to set up machine guns
and take positions for defense. Some
smaller units were still on the road
preparing to 60 into the next field
Two jeeps came up with rations.
Il was in the road giving some
instructions when l heard a noise
A column of German infantry and
German tanks was just coming
around bend in the road in our
direction.
Il yelled to the men to take cover
behind hedgerows and the Germans
stopped and backed out Of sight. A
minute later they came again. They
had not only one tank, but a line
OF tanks. They sprayed the. sides
OF the roads, then stopped abreast
OF the field where the battalion lay.
Hell broke loose. All tanks started
firing. German machine guns and
rifles started popping. Also a few
mobile 88s."
Second 1t. Anthony De Simone

Il was with Col Warfield and the
radio operator when the firing
started. The operator was hit at
the start. Col. Warf1eld told me to
hand, him tommy gun. He picked
up the radio and started forward
Some Germans shouted in the dark:
Warfleld, surrender
I don't know where they got his
name. Maybe from a prisoner cap-
tured earlier in the day. Maybe
they heard one Of us shout his
name. The colonel shouted back:
surrender, hell!'
AT this he told me he was going
to get a bazooka gun. Just then he
was hit. All he said was to call
my name twice. I think he wanted
TO give me instructions"

peared today before Prince Georges

Maryland Parents,
Teachers Discuss
Postwar Education
Economy Of Constont
Improvement in Schools
Stressed at M. u.

The heavy responsibility OF both
parents and educators in shaping
the postwar world was emphasized
at State Parent-Teachers Confer
ence at the University of Maryland
today by representatives of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers and by DR.. H. c. Byrd,
president Of the University.
To delegates from all over the
State, Miss Agnes Samuelson,
chairman Of education for the Ma
tional Congress emphasized the
economy Of constantly improving
grade school education rather than
waiting until wartime to educate
thousands Of prospective fighting
men to read and write. This short
sightedness discovered when 1,00O,-
600 men were rejected for military
service because of illiteracy, should
be avoided in the future by parents
and educators pleading with their
State government to build more
schools, Miss Samuelson declared.
To illustrate her point, Miss
Samuelson said illiterates had been
taught to read and write by the Army
at cost of s120 per man. Average
costs of educating children in public
schools is $76 per child per year, she
said.
DR.. Byrd urged that parents and
teachers face their problems to-
gether. cooperating on the chal-
lenging duty Of preparing American
citizens.
Understanding the Psychological
Adjustment Problems Of Men and
Women Returning from War Serv-
ice" will be the topic of DR.. Alfred
K. Baur. medical oficer of st. Eliza
beths Hospital, at the evening ses-
sion.

sional appropriation of 50,00O, 900
for a national school lunch pro-
gram on the State system of school
luncheons will be discussed tomor-
row. The afternoon session will in
clude forums on health, character
education, recreation and parent
education. Thursday. many dele

self too i'll to cope with the sight of
a soldier on crutches, the Govern
ment has embarked on an ambitious
program to enable disabled soldiers
to resume their place in society
without inspiring either revulsion
or pity.
The story Of the landlady who
asked soldiers wife to leave her
home rather than allow the soldier
who lost his leg at Salerno to visit
her was told by The Star Sunday
and brought immediate offers of
rooms for the soldier and his wife.
That is for the present, but there
are many who wonder what the fu-
ture holds for this young couple.
Army doctors are now working
toward the day when this soldier
and others like him will walk out
of Walter Reed Hospital without
even a noticeable limp
No Apple Selling This Time.
No one is more anxious than the
Government to see he won't be like
that legless veteran of the last war
you saw selling apples on a street
corner The Government wants to
see him trained for a job OF his
own choosing at Government ex-
pense. given a pension to add to his
earnings, given more education il
he wants 1t. given the guarantee OF
a loan to buy a home or start a
business Of his own.
He's been in Walter Reed for five
months now. It's been a long pull
one hospital after another for II
months. ever since that hand
grenade exploded
Psychologically he's now going
through the most difficult time, but
he's already been measured for his
artificial leg. This is the only Army
in the world that sees that its SOL
diers walk again before they're dis
charged. (Walter Reed measures
such patients for artificial limbs as
soon as they arrive. 1t makes the
men start looking forward. Surgery
may delay the day the artificial
leg goes on but some men may be
ready to wear one in as little as
six weeks
Kept Busy in Glasses.
He's not given much time to brood
to think about the past or worry
about the future. Glasses in q
variety of vocations from book
keeping to blue-printing are manda-
tory. That's to make him realize
how many jobs he can do, what
the future can hold for him. It's
another part of the looking forward
process.
Once his leg is fitted, he'll think
he can just walk of. It's not quite
so simple. He'll have to learn how
to balance. At first, it's like walk
ing on stills. He goes to school to
learn how to walk again.
One day. he will appear before
a board. He'll show he can walk
on level ground without a crutch
or cane. The appliance will be
checked again and his future will
begin.
Before he leaves the hospital the
Army seeks to have all the clinical
records ready for him to file his
claim for disability pension with
the Veterans Administration. A
representative of the Veterans Ad-
ministration at Walter Reed is as
signed to help him with the claim.
Claims Get Quick Action.
1t used to take months for the
claim to be adjudicated, but now a
battle casualty can get his first pen
sion check in as little as 10 days

tering-out pay and back Army pay
are expected to tide him over.
