Casualties Incredibly Few.
Elsewhere on the ship there were
other wounded. But the Texas ira
ditional luck was still with her.
Despite the virtual perfection of the
German shooting, there were no
more direct hits. Despite that
miracle hit at the base of the
bridge, the damage, though extern
sive, was superficial, the casualties
incredibly few, compared with what
they might have been.
The Texas was still fighting,
blasting away now with terrific
eight-gun salvos. I watched the
remainder of the battle from the
coming tower, whence. before I
arrived, I saw two corpsmen sup
porting the gunnery officer, 1t.

weight only grazed him. His con-
dition, the doctors say, is good.

Other ships were hit. Admiral Deyo
decided to double the dose"-the
bombardment lasted three hours in
stead of the originally planned 90
minutes, until the Army called it
off at 3 o'clock.
We headed for our port in Britain,
battered and shaken, but full of a
thankful spirit.

Eicher Probes
FbI Seizureof
bund Letters
Whether Presidential
Warrant Justified
Action Is Issue
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
began an inquiry at the sedition
trial today into the legality of the
Governments seizure of letters,
pamphlets and other documents at
German-American Bund headquar-
ters in Los Angeles the day after
the Pearl Harbor attack.
The main testimony was deferred
until this issue could be settled.
Chief Prosecutor o. John Rogge
admitted the FBI had seized the
papers without a search warranA
but said the agents were armed with
presidential warrant for the ar
rest Of Hans Diebel and Herman
Max SchWinn as enemy aliens. The
chief issue was whether a presiden-
tlal warrant authorized such a
seizure. Diebel and Schwinn are
among the 26 defendants on trial.
Jury Excused for Day.
Justice Eicher decided to go into
the question in the absence of the
jury. He excused the jury for the
day after announcing that juror
number II. Frederick Raulin, of l
Sherman Circle NV, will i'll. The
judge said he had been advised by
a physician that Mr.. Raulin prob
ably would be able to return to
court tomorrow.
William A. Gallagher and Claude
A. Thompson, counsel for Diebel and
Schwinn, moved at the outset Of the
trial to suppress the evidence seized
at the Deuetcheshaus, as Los Angeles
Bund headquarters was known. The
court denied the motion at that
time, but without prejudice, agree
ing to consider it later. The attor-
neys contended the place was
searched and the papers taken il
legally and in violation of the de-
fendant's constitutional rights.
Presidential Warrant Is Issue.
The Government had planned to
offer many of the documents in
evidence later in the week. Diebel
was proprietor of the Aryan Book
Store in Los Angeles, and Schwinn
has been identified as a West Coast
bund leader.
Cross-examination of Miss Alma
McGroarty of Alexandria. Va, a
Government witness, was postponed
until tomorrow.
