BULLETIN.

Chief Justice Edward G.
Eicher admitted in evidence
today at the sedition trial in
District Court documents
which the defense had sought
to suppress on the ground
they were seized illegally by
Federal agents at national
headquarters OF the German
American Bund.

The Melting Pot idea has never

which the Government sought to
introduce in evidence today at the
sedition trial in District Court.
The confederation was headed by
George e. Deatherage, one Of the rs
defendants, who also was command
er Of the Knights OF the White Ca
melia.
The pamphlet was ono Of 70 ex-
hibits on the admissibility OF which
Justice Edward c. Eicher was ex-
pected to rule today. The defense
challenged the documents, alleging
they were seized Illegally when
Federal agents raided national
headquarters of the German-Ameri-
can Bund after the Pearl Harbor
attack.
Confederation's Platform.
The platform Of Deatherages
confederation said it seeks to in
clude in its membership all Chris
tian Americans who are opposed
to international Jewry, popularly
called the New Deal" and Ito
build up a government, under the
constitution, which shall give each
deserving citizen equal opportunities
for wealth and happiness" The
paper added:
THE liberation Of America can
only be accomplished by unified
and military minded leadership,
who, realizing that economic and
social policy are no longer isolated
processes, will carry this Nation
through this world upheaval"
The party declared that "the
melting pot idea has never worked,
except in the minds of impractical
individuals, and that tolerance has
been practiced by our people to the
point that it has undermined the
very existence Of our Nation"
Charles E. Morganston, attorney
for August Klapprott, offered to
prove that this defendant, as acting
national feuhrer of the bund In
December. 194l, had personal pos
session OF the files at headquarters
and they were seized without a
search warrant or other legal au-
thority.
Burns Upholds Legality.
Special Prosecutor Joseph w.
Burns. admitting there was no
search warrant, contended the seiz-
lue was none the less legal. The
Government maintains that the
Treasury agents VINO raided the
bund off1ces in New York had ample
authority under the Trading With
the Enemy Act. While opposing
special hearing to take testimony
on the issue, the prosecution was
prepared to meet evidence preferred

indicated.
Justice Eicher studied the legal
question involved over the week
end, taking it under advisement
when the trial was adjourned
Thursday. The exhibits affected

Of an armored infantry regiment
which was committed to capture of
Mount Porchia during the drive on
Casino, Italy.
Capt. Fishers company had sus-
tanned heavy casualties after two
days of hard fighting. and on Janu-
airy the attack was begged down
in a stream bed about 200 yards
below the main enemy positions on
Mount Porchia.
rs Left in Company.
Company B had only its COM
mander and about Is enlisted men
left. Company A. commanded by
Capt. James w. Wilson of Lexing-
ton, KY, was alongside Capt. Fish
er's force in the stream bed. but it
too had suffered heavily. Only Capt.
Wilson and 40 men remained. Com
pany C of the battalion WAS not in
contact.
Capt. Fisher and I had agreed
| to Jump of on the final assault to-
gether," Capt. Wilson reported. "On
the signal saw Capt. Fisher jump
out of the ditch and start of across
the field in front of his company.
I Immediately jumped of with
mine. Enemy machine-gun fire
was heavy but noticed that Capt
Fisher didn't stop or take cover
while crossing the field. Why he
wasn't hit, I don't know"
Shortly thereafter, Capt. Wilson
said, he lost radio contact with
Capt. Fisher, but Capt. Fisher was
in communication with his bat
talon commander. 1t. Col. Lyle j.

"At S pm Capt. Fisher radioed
that he had accomplished his mis-
sion and that he had an observation
post on the highest peak. At ap-
proximately 6 pm, Capt. Fisher ra-
diced for artillery fire to break
up a counterattack against his
position Col. Deffenbaugh said.
TT soon became apparent that
the trajectory was too fiat to cover
the reverse slope near the crest. I
called Capt. Fisher and warned
him. He replied that the fire was
effective farther down the slope
and that maybe he could handle
what enemy had already cleared
that point.
"A few minutes later he called
me, saying that the enemy was
closing in with force too great
for him and his men to handle,
that he had just killed two enemy
in his position with his rifle, and
that he wanted the artillery fire
shortened another 200 yards.
"The fire data was computed by
an artillery onlcer and myself and
it was found that the requested
concentration, If fired, would fall
upon Capt. Fishers position. Capt.
Fisher was told that the concentra-
ton could not be fired. He then said
that without the artillery he could
not hold his positions because the
enemy was approaching very closely.

Mr.. Baillie suggested four major

Three, there should be 4 mini
