inaudible voice when asked how he
pleaded to the three counts of the
indictment against him.
The indictment charged him with
criminally assaulting Miss Berrum

either of the two flrst-degree murder
counts would mean a mandatory
death penalty. Conviction on only
the charge of criminal assault would
involve the death penalty If recon-
mended by the jury.
A belt found near Miss Berrum's
body, knife left in a taxi and other
evidence led to McFarland's arrest
the day after the slight Government
clerk from Chippewa Falls, Wis, was

400 Hear 7ydings,
0'Conor and Sasscer
AssaiI COP Record

Reelection OF President Roosevelt
is essential to the winning of the
peace and the establishment of a
postwar organization of nations,
more than 400 persons were told last
night at Democratic rally at the
Prince Georges Golf and Country
Club.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland sounded the keynote of
the rally when he declared that the
most important issue before the
American people is a speedy victory
and the winning of the peace.
He recalled that the foreign poll
cies of President Wilson which
might have avoided this war were
scuttled by the partisan Repub-
licans in the Senate"
Assails COP Record.
He also charged that the Repub-
lican party was responsible for the
sinking of half OF the American feet
in 1922, while the rest of the world
drew up blueprints for more ships"
Turning his attention to the Re-
publican record in the last several
years, Senator Tydings charged that
"a majority of the Republicans in
Congress opposed lease-lend and
voted against the Selective Service
Act.
Gov. Dewey" he declared.
Charges the Democratic admins
tration with failing to prepare for
war and forgets to state that his
own party fought tooth and nail
against President Roosevelt's pre-
lparednesS program. In fact, Gov.
Dewey's thinking on postwar mat
ters had advanced only so far last
year that he proposed an alliance
with Great Britain as his foreign
policy"
The mention of President Roose-
velt's name by the speaker brought
applause, while one rooter shouted
Lets go-teu it to him"
Sasscer Charges Mud Singing"
Representative Sasscer, Democrat,
of Maryland charged that the Re-
pubhcans' campaign is one of mud
singing, generalities and misrepre-
sentation" &.
Declaring he was amazed to hear
Gov. Dewey talk about the "Roose-
velt depression" Mr.. Sasscer de-
scribed such statement as an in
consistent bidding for votes re-
gardless of its accuracy and its
effect on the minds of people and
on the war effort being waged so
iheroically by our fighting men and
workers throughout the country"
Gov. O'Conor told his listeners
that President Roosevelt has the
confidence of the Allied leaders and
has represented this country at con-
ferences with them with excellent
results"
wouldn't it be lack of wisdom, !"
he asked, Ito elect man who knows
nothing of what has taken place
at these conferences, except what
has been made public, and who
would have to start from scratch"
He denied rumors that President
Roosevelt is in i'll health, declaring
he had seen the President a few
hours before the rally and the Chief
Executive was vigorous and alert" "
The rally was sponsored by the
Prince Georges County Young Mems,
the Caravan Democratic and the
Southern Maryland Young Demo-
cratic Clubs. State Senator L. Har-

On Admitting Hitler
Evidence Delayed

Objections Roised by
Counsel for Defense
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
held in allegiance today his sedition

Government exhibits intended to
prove by the words of Hitler and
other Nazi leaders that they were
engaged in conspiracy to set UP
their form Of government all over
the world. The trial is in week.
end recess.
The District Court presiding Judge
studied objections raised by defense
attorneys to the numerous excerpts
offered in evidence by the prosecu-
ton. The defense contended these
writings did not connect any of the
rs defendants with the charge in the
Indictment that they conspired to
incite the American armed forces to
disloyalty and mutiny.
Translations of most of these ex-
hibits were made by a Government
witness, DR.. Robert M. w. Kempner.
formerly a criminal court Judge in
Germany. He WILL go back on the
stand when the trial is resumed
Monday afternoon.
Motions Refused.
The defense made a futile effort
late yesterday to strike from the
record all testimony of verbal or
written statements by Hitler, on
the ground that some of the Gov
ernment's own witnesses had de-
scrlbed him as insane and a liar
and perjurer"
Justice Eicher denied these mo-
tions.
Albert w. Dilling, a defense at
torney, pointed out that the previous
Government witness, DR.. Hermann
Rauschning, German refugee author,
had admitted having written of
Hitler as paranoiac.
"A paranolac is an insane person"
Mr.. Dllling said. land the writings
OF mad person should not be
brought into this case"
DR.. Kempner was cross-examined
at length regarding his translations
OF certain passages of the writings
OF Hitler and Nazi officials.
Kunze Questions Witness.
/ Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, a de-
fendant, former national leader of
the German-American Bund, was
allowed by the court, at the request
OF his attorney, P Bateman Ennis,
to question the witness about some
of his transactions.
The soft-spoken, bearded Kunze,
oorn m the United States, asked DR..
kempner if it would not be more
sporting, fairer" to translate soma
German phrases in a different way.
The witness said he had stuck to
the true meaning as closely as
possible.
DR.. Kempner said, in response to
numerous questions from various
counsel, that the English-speaking
people had no 100 per cent correct
translation of "Mein Kampf," but
the versions varied in particulars,
!. He also contended it was impos-
sible to translate Hitlers writings
without "a knowledge of German
as it is spoken since Hitler came
into power"
