Man Seized by FB|
On Charge Of Mailing
Threats 10 Officials

A railroad employe who has been
charged with sending threatening
messages through the mails to men,
bers>of Congress and Washington
newspaper publisher has been ar
rested by the FBI in San Diego,
Calf. according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
The man, identified as Lawrence r..
Murtaugh, Al, was taken into custody
yesterday. The FBI said most of
the letters criticized the Govern
ment's conduct of the war.
William A. Murphy, FBI chief in
San Diego, said Murtaugh wrote
letters to Senators Murray, Demo-
crat, of Montana and Green, DEM
ocrat, of Rhode Island warning that
he would see them lover the sights
of 49,"
The official said poison pen"
letters also were sent Senator Ball,
Republican, of Minnesota and
representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas; Arthur Treanor, Booth
Newspapers, Inc, executive of
Saginaw, Mich, and Eugene Meyer,
publisher of the Washington Post.
FBI headquarters here said the
complaint filed against Murtaugh
cited a letter to Senator Green in
which he allegedly wrote: you
better pipe down on the Senate.
What's the idea of wanting all the
Republicans kicked out?'
The letter was postmarked last
December 81 and, according to the
FBI. was signed "R. R. Crandel."
At that time Murtaugh was working
for the Kaiser Construction Co. at
the Mare Island Repair Base, San
Diego.
Murtaugh has one son in the
Navy, the FBI said A final hearing
in the case has been set for May 27.
Senator Ball said he did not re-
call any such letter, but that CORE
spondence of a similar nature is
usually sent Immediately to the
FBI. Representative Patman's Of
flee reported similarly. Mr.. Meyer
is out of the city.

Von Rundstedt's Capture
May Have Been Planned
BY LOUIS p. LOCHNER,
Associated Press War Cnrresnondent

Associated Press War Correspondent.
MUNICH, May 2.-Field Marshal
Karl Rudolf Gerd Won Rundstedt
has ended his military career in the
war as he began it on September i
1939-with question mark.
Was he really surprised when the
Americans arrived at the hospital
at Bad Toelz or did he carefully set
the scene for his arrest, thereby
escaping the odium of desertion?
This is as fair question to put now
as was the question, How loyal to
the Fuehrer is Won Rundstedt?" So
often asked at the start of the war.
Won Rundstedt has had ups and
downs such as would have finished
almost any other professional SOL
dier. Yet he swallowed his pride
and returned every time he was
kicked out.
Motives Uncertain.
Was this from the PruSsian Off
GERS code of blind obedience to the
commander in chief or from fear
of the Gestapo? The answer to
this question is as difficult as the
further poser: How could Won
Rundstedt, a nobleman and a Prus-
sian general of the old school, per-
NIT the trial of Field Marshal Won
Witzleben, Col. Gen. Ludwig Beck
and the other plotter's of the 1914
attempt on Hitler's life to be taken
out of the army's hands and handed
over to the star chamber Peoples
Court, where a man was condemned
before he even appeared?
Won Rundstedt is one of the
closest mouthed men I have ever
Evening star., 1945-05-02

met. Introduced, he would merely
bow stiff1y and extend hand if the
other preferred his and would say
nothing beyond the customary
"Guten Tag" At official receptions
he would circulate quickly through
the embassy rooms and halls and
depart as soon as protocol per-
mitted. He seemed bored
Once, however, I saw him unbend
1t was at the annual charity ball
in 1888 for the benefit of the needy
among impecunious noble families,
given by the former Crown Princess
Cecile, wife of Crown Prince Fred
erick Wilhelm.
Won Rundstedt and I were at the
same table. He sat next to Princess
Frederick of Brunswick, grand
daughter of the late Kaiser Wilhelm
and wife of Prince Paul of Greece.
Changed Man.
Won Runstedt that night was a
changed man. His every move in
dicated devotion to the monarchists.
The way he kissed the ladies hands,
the manner in which he anticipated
Fredericka' S every wish. the reveren-
tial manner toward all Hohenzol-
lerns-all this indicated his mon
archist leanings.
Yet he continued to serve Hitler
1t will always be question whether
he acted from motives of military
obedience or from the hope that he
and other monarchists might some
day seize power.
Whatever his motives he probably
stands high on the Allied list of
war criminals for placing his mill
tary talent, his standing among the
old guard nobility and his personal
integrity at the service of Hitler
and the Nazi gang.

delegation which followed reported
German withdrawal from Denmark
Count Folke Bernadotte, who re-
turned here yesterday from Copen-
hagen, told a press conference he
had obtained through negotiation
with Heinrich Himmler the release
of $4,000 prisoners from Nazi con-
centration camps. BY previous
agreement no questions were asked
concerning German peace propos-
ais carried by the count from Hmm
Ter to the Allies.
Bernadotte, vice chairman of the
Swedish Red Cross, sidestepped any
comment on Himmler's disposition"
or any impressions he had of the
Gestapo chief.
Many Nationalities Rescued.
Bernadotte said that of the per-
sons rescued from the Nazi camps
5000 were Danes and Norwegians
and another 1880 American, Brit
ish, French. Belgian. Dutch, Czech
and Polish women held at a
RavvenSbrueck camp. He said 5000
already had been transported to
Sweden by the Red Cross and the
rest were waiting in Denmark. The
operation is scheduled to be COM
pleted this week and Bernadotte
said the Swedish government would
care for the refugees.
The count said he last saw Hmm
Ter 10 days ago in Lubbock, but
before that there were weeks of
direct negotiations with the Nazi
directly and extensive preparations
In all my talks with Himmler he
never asked for anything in return
either for himself or for the Ger
MANS" Bernadotte said. There is
nothing fishy about it"
The entire press conference was
devoted to Bernadotte's Red Cross
work with the understanding that
no questions concerning German
capitulation Or negotiations for
peaceful elimination of the Ger
mans from Denmark and Norway
would be asked.
Bernadotte said he began his ne
gotiations with Himmler after ap-
proval by the Swedish government
