LORD HAW HAW IS AMERICAN, HIS
 COUNSEL SAYS
William Joyce Won les. tify in London Case on
 Treason Charges

BULLETIN LONDON, Sept.
 18.-A British court today re-
 duced the treason indictment
 against Brooklyn born William
 Joyce Co single count, that he
 broadcast German propaganda
 as Lord flaw flaw for nine and
 half months while holding
 British passport.
 Justice Tucker, presiding in
 Old Bailey, threw out two counts
 based upon the prOsecution's as-
 sertion that Joyce wa sa British
 subject. The defense, which
 rested without calling Joyce to
 the stand, held that he was a
 citizen of the United States.
 q think that everybody must
 agree that the evidence which
 has been brought by the defense
 is really overwhelming" Justice
 Tucker said. That leaves us
 with count three only cffective.' LONDON, Sept. 18 William Joyce, on trial for treason, will not testify in his own defense, his counsel said today, indicating he would depend upon documentary evidence to prove he was an Am- erican citizen when as Lord Flaw Flaw" he broadcast over the Ger man radio during the war.
 G. O. Slade, one of three de- fense attorneys, announced in court that he was not calling Joyce as witness because "he can't possibly give you any evidence of when or where he was born"
 Joyce, whose trial opened yester- day, pleaded innocent to three counts.
 Slade produced certified and sealed copies of what he said was an American naturalization record of Joyce's father, Michael Joyce, recorded in Hudson County, New Jersey, in 1892 and 1894.
 At least one and if necessary a second American lawyer will prove to you that the moment an oath in petition was sworn in open court by Michael Joyce, he there upon became, according to Ameri- can law as it then stood, citizen of the United States" Slade said.
 Slade then produced what he said was Joyce's birth registration, purporting to show the defendant was born at 1877 Herkimer Street, N. Y.
 The defense decision indicated Joyce would not attempt to justify any of his activities in Germany. during the war, but would try to escape punishment under 6O0- year-old British treason law by attempting to show through docu- ments and other witnesses that he was a U. s. citizen and owed no allegience to the British Crown.

POWER COMPANY
HEARING BEGINS

Up to late hour last night, no
word had been received in Whining
on as to the action if any, taken
by the Securities and Exchange
c. omission at the final hearings
scheduled to be held yesterday in
Philadelphia on the question as to
whether or not 3,461 shares OF
common stock in the reorganized
Tide Water Power Co., shall be
held by the General Gas and Elec.
trio Corp, Warren Bell, president
Of the power company, represented
the company at the hearings.
In a previous tentative ruling,
| the SEC reserved jurisdiction on
the amount of new common stock,
if any, which may be issued to
old common stockholders. It or
dered that the 3,461 shares of new
common stock, with which the
power company proposed to COM
pensate the General Gas and Elec-
trio corporation for its old hold
ings of common stock, he held in
escrow.
The old stock held by the COM
pany represented practically the
entire common stock issue of the
Tide Water. George D. Conant of
the Wilmington firm explained,
whereas the shares in question be-
fore the SEC, represent only a
small part of the new authorized
common stock. These shares have
been held in escrow since the re-
capitalization plan was approved
last December.
The payment of legal fees and
expenses also will be considered
at the hearing.
The three beasts necessary to
the making of fine perfume are the

three dead Americans and II Ger

four Americans and 10 Germans
were hospitalized with serious IN
LURES. At least ten other Amerl-

Most of the German casualties
were police and police auxillarles.
The known American dead were

lily attached to counter-intelligence
here after long service in the Paci-
Ific.
The police headquarters was
shattered as though it had been
struck by a blockbuster shortly
before II am, and conflscated
German ammunition which had
been stored in a ground floor room
continued to explode for half an
hour.
Two walls facing the buildings
inner courtyard collapsed in a
burning heap of debris, engulfing
nearly a dozen military vehicles
parked there.
An American public safety Off
Ger, Maj. E. Russell Kennedy, Jr.
of Washington, D. c., said he be-
lieved the disaster was caused by
a delayed action bomb. The Ger
mans are known to have develop
ed demolition charges with fuses
delayed up to "a days.
Kennedy, who was on the third
floor at the time of the blasts,
escaped with a cut forehead.
"The first blast panicked big
line of civilians outside my Of
flee, and l tried to quiet them, -
he said. The second blast, in a
minute or two, blew me through
a door into another room choked
with dust and screaming people.
With the German Police Chief,
Robert Schooner, who was slight
ly hurt, Kennedy directed rescue
squads throughout the afternoon.
Firemen fought the blaze for a
long time and all German utility
repair squads in Bremen were
modified by 1t. Col. Douglas w.
Meservey of New York city, depu-
ity military government officer, to
clear the wreckage.
The use of bulldozer by En-
cheering Capt. Lemuel W. Boy
kin, Jr., of Boykin. S. c., was dis
continued after a German 2O-milli-
meter shell exploded under the
bulldozer's tracks.
Kennedy estimated that at lease
500 persons had been in the police
building during the morning, in
Guiding % American members OF
counter-intelligence and four mem
bers of the military government
staff.
Several hundred rocket launch
ers, hand grenades and other ex-
p1osives left in the building after
the Nazi SIS detachments vacated
40 days ago, recently were de-
stroyed, while that on hand was a
reserve for the armed German
police force, Kennedy said.
American officers said the ex-
plosion was the worst of its kind
since the Naples, Italy, postoffice
was similarly wrecked after the Al
lied occupation in 1913. The Bre-
