Austrian Is Denied
Citizenship; Judge
Asks Added Inquiry

Justice Matthew r. Mcclure Of
District Court yesterday denied
citizenship to Otto Paul Schmidt,
44-year-old electrical engineer and
native Austrian, during nat
uralization ceremony at District
Court at which 95 others were &C
cepted.
After questioning Mr.. Schmidt re-
garding cameras, a boat, Navy radio
tubes and an airplane the man
repeatedly owned or had owned,
Justice Mcclure declared, Some
thing strikes me as quite Pc
culiar q"
He said the whole case should be
reinvestigated and reports of naval
intelligence, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and any other inter-
ested investigating agency obtained.
Mr.. Schmidt, who lives in the
3100 block OF Westover drive Sc,
sold his airplane some time ago,
but owned cameras, it was claimed,
which he had not reported. Mr..
Schmidt said he had sent the cam
eras to the FBI and denied having
owned radio tubes.
Mr.. Schmidt said he had the boat
for pleasure. Justice Mcclure then
asked why he repeatedly told naval
intelligence officers he had the boat
because the Navy Yard might be
bombed. Mr.. Schmidt said he
thought he had jokingly told friends
that he had the boat so he would
have some place to go in case WASH
sington was bombed. Mr.. Schmidt en-
tered this country in 1890
Counsel for Mr.. Schmidt said a
rehearing would be sought.
An address was delivered to the
new citizens by Attorney John Wat
tawa, chairman of the Committee on
Citizenship of the District Bar Asso-

EVANSVILLE, March IL
Steve ONeill, on this otherwise
bright st. Patrick's Day, wss a
harassed Irishman in the Tiger
spring training camp.
Begorrah, now that the teams
spring exhibition games have BEEN
wiped out, where, oh where. is.
the Tiger manager going to get
competition for his eager athletes.
Barring the possibility the Cin-
cinnati Reds may be induced to-
pack up at Bloomington and come
10 Evansville 10 share training
quarters with the Tigers, il app
pears O'Neiiiis only chance is 10
line up semipro or soldier opposi-
ton. Even this is doubtful. They
are not organized.
ALL GAMES OFF
From Jack Zeller in Detroit,
q NeIii received word all Tiger
training games--10 of them
were -nut-and- efforts 10 -liHe-iie
the White SoX, Indians and Buf{.
falo Bisons in Coming to Evansl
vile for training had failed. 81
O'Neill's proposal that the
Tigers play the White Sox at
Terre Haute, en- route TO st.
Louis for the regular season open-
ing April II, also went by the
boards when it was learned the
SoX will be at home for a pre-
season city series with the Cubs.
Zeller couldn't get Bucky Harris
TO bring his Bisons here instead
Of Hershey for training.
CAN'T STOP OFF
We're the Tigers opening at
home this season, they could stop
off at points on the way 10 play
exhibitions.
There was suggestion the
Tigers break camp in a couple Of
weeks and finish their training
indoors at University Of Michigan
or Michigan State. But, it seems
probable the Tigers will wind up
playing among themselves. on the
theory that half a loaf is better
than none.
The Tiger games Cancelled in-
clude eight here at Evansville
with the White Sox. Indians and
Pirates and two with the Sox at
Terre Haute.
With three good days already
in, the Tigers were looking for
ward TO another day of Florida
weather today. Under warm
sun, O'Neill put his charges
through a stiff two-hour practice
! session yesterday.
TROUT HoMERS
The workout was spanked by
batting practice, In which Harold
Newhouser and Paul (Dizzyl
Trout pitched and the latter hit
a homer, the first of the training
season.
Trout nicked Newhouser for his
homer, 350-foot drive over the
left field wall.
