don't let anyone talk you out OF
your reindeer. Watch out again
for P-38'S and Black Widows

rehearing ut which the matter may
be reconsidered and at which we
may submit further reasons why the

preciate property values In the

sirable" in a residential area.

Prejudicial Against
Sediiion Defendants
Court Asked to Rule
A MistrioI os Rosse
Offers New Evidence
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

ny IAN i EN- 0hOOAE JONES.
Chief Justice Edward c. Eiche,
today was asked to declare q mis-
trial in the sedition case because Of
the inferred prejudicial effect OF an
advertisement In local newspaper
The motion was filed by p. Bate
man Ennis, attorney for Gerhard
Wilhelm Kunze, former national
leader Of the German-American
Bund. It was based on an adver.
tisement for . nationally known
product which included this COM
ment on the sedition trial:
"And when our Government,
charged them with taking part ir
this skull conspiracy, they answered
True, we have talked the way the
little man In Germany did, and We
have felt as he did, and we have ad-
mtred the mounds of skulls he built
But 1t was all innocent talk. It was
just by accident that 1t happened
to be the same"
Purpose Disguised.
Mr.. Ennis pointed out in the
written motion that while the Jury
had been instructed to read nothing
about the case, this advertisement
disguised its purpose in that q
glance at it did not indicate 1t was
q discussion of the trial and any,
one might read 1t before realizing its
intended effect.
Justice Eicher studied this and
other pending defense motions
while Chief Prosecutor o. John
Rogge continued to present docu-
mentary evidence seized by the FBI
at German-American Bund head
quarters in Los Angeles the day
after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Defense counsel charged the
prosecutor with injecting politics"
into the case when he showed the
jury a pamphlet assertedly dis
trtbuted by Robert E. Edmondson,
defendant. classifying Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey under "presiden-
tial pygmies."
Court Overrules Defense.
Edmondson's attorney, Ethelbert
B. Frey, told the court thta If Mr..
Rogge persisted in dragging in this
issue the Justice Department should
prosecute the Government attorney
under the Hatch Act. The court
overruled the objection without
comment.
Another defense attorney, Claude
A. Thompson, objected to the en-
phasis which the exhibits placed on
anti-Semitic propaganda, contend
ing the publicity attending such
evidence could only result In a
purge Of either Jews or gentiles,
This objection likewise was over
ruled. r. .
Mr.. Rogge sought to link nearly
half the rs defendants with the
bund through the exhibits, which
showed q number of them in cor
respondence with Hans Diebel, pro-
prietor of the Aryan Bookstore at
Los Angeles bund headquarters.

At a press conference in the
crews mess, Capt. Hayman. a ST.
year-old weather-beaten seaman,
who went to sea at the age of 8,
told OF his ships operations In
France. A Navy Department re-
view ofncer ruled out most of the
story, however, on the grounds .of
security, although Capt. Hayman
pointed ont that most English
newspapers had carried pictures and
accounts of the doughty tugs feats
across the Channel.
Took Destroyer in Tow.
Trinidad Heads jobs included

then finally bringing back to the
