More Specific Intent
Witnesses Scheduled
|Ai Sediiion Trial
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

6y CAHTEH 66OOkE JONES.
More testimony at the sedition
trial bearing on specific intent"
vas expected this week after the
Government finiShes evidence start
ed last week dealing with the
Friends Of Progress. Los Angeles or
gani5ation.
While Chief Prosecutor o. John
Rogge has not disclosed the next
phase Of his case, he is expected to
call other witnesses In support Of
his promise to show that the Is
defendants conspired with "spe-
ciflc intent" to undermine the loyal
ty Of the armed forces and incite
them to mutiny.
The present witness. Mrs. Betty
Lee Mclaughlin, whose cross ex-
animation viii be resumed in Dis
trict Court tomorrow, has testified
that two defendants, Ellis O. Jones
and Franz K. Ferenz, and q former
defendant, Robert Noble, took the
most active part in the Friends Of
Progress meetings. She told the
jury that the audiences were ad-
vised, weeks after Pearl Harbor,
that the country was not legally at
war, that American and British
forces were being driven out of the
Orient, and they should not let
themselves be scared into" buying
War Bonds. Pro-Axis and defeatist
sentiments were common at the
meetings, her testimony indicated.
Described as Directors.
Noble was described as director Of
the Friends of Progress, Jones as as
sociate director. Ferens usually sat
on the platform, Mrs. Mclaughlin
testified, and often had an active
role. Mobiles case has been sew
cred from that Of the other de-
PENDANTS.
Mrs. Mclaughlin has maintained
her composure through day and a
han Of cross-examination. Several
other defense attorneys have yet
to question her. She said she and
her husband. John Ivan McLaugh-
lin, were engaged by Ben Beery,
chairman of the Los Angeles Amer
ican Legion's Committee on I'm
American activities, to investigate
the organization. They went to II
meetings, she said. and collabo-
rated on reports. Copies Of the re-
ports went to the FBI, Army and
Navy Intelligence, she said.
Mrs. Mclaughlin insisted that
they received no compensation,
not even expense money, for carry
ing out what she termed "a patri-
otto service" She was questioned
on why they reported certain state
ments and left out other utterances.
She said they reported everything
they remembered and denied that
they culled only what might be
unfavorable to the organization and
its sponsors.
Memory Test Refused.
Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
refused to allow william j. Powers,
attorney for William Dudley Pelley,
to put the witness through a mem
ory test. She said she and her
husband did not take notes at the
meetings, but wrote their impress
sions from memory afterward.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is to follow his
wife on the stand.
Several Government exhibits con-
cerned with the Friends of Progress
have been identified by Mrs. Nc
Laughlin and offered in evidence by
Prosecutor Rogge, but Justice Eicher
has not yet passed on their admis-
sibility. The defense will be given
an opportunity to enter individual
objections to the papers.

PVT. THELMA FREDERICKS e, When My Gal Sal" was a popular song Thelma's folks really liked the tune. so when they had daughter they just naturally nicknamed her Sally, which ac- counts for how you can get that nick name out of Thelma. Sally is a Medical Technician at the Base Hospital, where she spends good twelve hours day at- tending to the needs of sick GIs. As result, says she, her evenings are mostly consumed in sleep except for an occa- sional trip into town with the girls. Mar ried to CB now in the Pacific, Sally and her husband expect to settle in their hometown of Danbury, Conn.,. after the War. But first they plan to do some travelling together. Sally, who is just five feet tall and blonde, is no bobby-soxer; she prefers Der Bingle."

TiSGT. MORRIS H. FASMAN
 Back in the dear old days, Merry, like many others, dreamed about visiting tropical island complete with moon, palm trees and beautiful natives. The Army fulfilled his dreams few years later by shipping him to the Antilles Command, where he spent four years as a bom- bardier and gunner flying anti-sub pa trols and convoy duty. AS matter of fact, Merry spent so much time in the Carribean, at such spots as Trinidad, that he's often wondered how he failed to become the topic of a Calypso Song" resident of Richmond Hill, Long Island, he was a pharmacist before en- tering the Service. After the War his plans are vague except for the important part wherein he returns to his home, wife and seven-months-old son.
