Reveal Nazi Plot
10 Learn IA Data
Sponiords Accused
Of Espionage in U. S.

PHILADELPHIA, June % -
(P) - A tale of a German es-
pionage plot to discover how the
battleship South Dakota was
able to shoot down 80 Japanese
bombers with anti-aircraft fire,
and Of how it was foiIed, has
been unfolded by the FBI.
Thomas c.. Spencer. FBI
agent, testifying at the hearing
yesterday of two Spanish sea-
men charged with espionage,
said Emilio Ipes Cazaux Hern-
andes, apprentice officer lin the
Spanish merchant marine, was
detailed by Nazi agents to dis
cover the specifications Of the
South Dakota - then known
only as Battleship X - as we'll
as information on American
anti-submarine devices and de-
tails of construction and pro-
pulsion of cargo ships.
Spencer told ". S. Commits
sioner Norman J. Griffin this
story:
Upon reaching Philadelphia in
the spring of 1943, Hernandez
contacted Jose Laradogoitia, who
had been trained in Spain as
Nazi spy, but Laradogoitia al
ready had contacted FBI agents
and had made known his plans.
He turned the notes Hernandes
gave him over TO Spencer.
Spencer then wrote letter,
in disappearing ink, to German
officials, supplying them with
false information. Between the
lines he wrote what he termed
family message"
Then, in company with E. Y.
Sims, another FBI agent, he
turned the letter over to Pablo
Meso Legarreta, another seaman
on the Spanish freighter, who
took the letter back to Ger
many.
Spencer said he was unable TO
state whether the Germans ever
attempted TO put the facts sup
piled in the message TO use.
However, he added, they APP
parently did not suspect that
anything was amiss, since they
continued to supply Laradogo-
tia with money.
Assistant u. S. Attorney James
p. Mccormick said Germandes
admitted his completely in the
plot but that Legarreta denied
the charges.
Griffin held each man In
$4,000 bail for the federal
grand jury.

When all the Army group

troops or his capacity for inter-

The job becomes more of an
FBI affair with the primary
function that of de-Nazifying the
country. This means more in
tense work on the part of the
commander in chief, the purifi-
cation of all selectees from the
CIVILIAN population assigned to

Rush Action
on Presidential
Succession Bill

WASHINGTON, June ~
LP-In an unusual burst Oh
sneed the House called up the
Truman backed President a
Succession bill today with pro
moments determined TO send IL
on to the Senate before night
fall.
In three days the measure
making the House speaker next
in line for the presidency
has advanced from a rough com
mittee draft to a finished DILL
ready for final action.
Despite the hurried House
pace, proponents conceded pri-
vately that they have little hope
of such quick action in the SEN
ate, and opponents were conii-
dent the measure never would
become law. 1t is subject to two
hours of general debate IN the
House today, after w nc n
amendments will be in order.
In its present form the Bill
follows exactly the specification
laid down by President Truman
in q message to Congress. II
provides:
In the event the nation is left
without a president or vice
president, the office will 60 to
the Speaker of the House-noW
Rep. Sam Rayburn (D-Tex)-
instead of through the Cabinet
line.
II there isn't a speaker the
Senate President pro tenn VIII
serve until a speaker can be
chosen. If there isn't a Senate
president pro tenn, then the
presidency would 60 through
the Cabinet as at present-but
only until the House could elect
a speaker, automatically accept
his resignation and send him off
to the White House.
Congratulating the House on
its speed, Rep. Monroney Cd
Okla) noted that within five
days three men will have been
in line for the presidency under
present law: Edward r. Stettin-
Jus, Jr., before he resigned as
secretary of state; Treasury Sec
rotary Morgenthau now, and the
new secretary Of state when he
is named next week by Presl-
dent Truman.
The Succession Bill got off TO
q stumbling start Wednesday
when it squeezed out of the
House Judiciary Committee by
a 10 TO vote--a tally marked
up largely because opponents
wanted public hearings on the
plan.
From there on, however, it
whistled through the normally
slow-paced legislative routine

WIESBADEN, Germany-(P)
One of the generals who did
not get home to see his son grad
uate from West Point this year
was Brig. Gen. Edwin Luther
Sibert, chief of the CO section

generals became second lieuten-

WEST POINT TRADITION
Young Sibert has something
of stranglehold on West Points
tradition for in addition to him
self he has cousin, an uncle, a
father, two grandfathers and
one great grandfather who were
graduated from there. The re-
bel of the family was his older
brother, Edwin Luther, Jr., who
chose the Naval Academy and
now is on a destroyer in thePa-
cific.
1t. Siberts cousin is Franklin

to command a battalion against

uABITUAL cons upation or
H sluggish action OF the intes-
tines is a disorder Of the colon
or large bowel. Many people are
constipated but few really suffer
any pain or other symptoms
from the condition. and those
who do. suffer more in mind
than in body.
According To DIT. L. Hardy
Of England. constipation. in prac-
tically all cases, IL the result OF
faulty training. individuals vary
q great deal in the number OF
bowel movements they have each
day. A survey was made Of peo-
pie between the ages Of Ia and
So years. and il was found that
about one half had a bowel
action once day. two fifths
more than once a day. and the
remainder less often than once
q day: yet. all OF these people
were normal in every way. In
other words, being constipated
does not depend on the frequency
OF the bowel action, but upon
regularity and the absence of
discomfort or undue effort.
MANY things. such a. change

climate. simple glandular dis
turbances. and emotional upsets.

II has been stated that perhaps
one OF the most common causes

factor which contributes 10 the
