2, 1945, the secret radio station. OPP
Grated by FBI agents, began ex-
changing messages with the Ger
mans.
Meanwhile, according to the FBI
Hernandes brought instructions and
payments from Europe, smuggling
large bills from his ship by rolling
them tightly and concealing them
In his mouth. On one trip, he
brought $2,100 to Laradogoitia. On
return trips, he took the secret
messages written by FBI agents
back to the Nazis. The FBI said
Hernandes' family Is reported to
be wealthy and influential"
Legarreta, the FBI said, assisted In
the espionage work by smuggling
information aboard his ship at Phil
adelphia. He concealed the messages
by fastening them to his body with
adhesive tape.
On May 8, 1945-the day President
Truman proclaimed victory in Eur
ope-the FBI-operated ort-wave
station received a radio message
from the Germans stating that the
situation necessitated suspension
of radio service.
Laradogoitia. who lives in New
York, was instructed to meet Her.
nandes when his ship arrived in
Philadelphia to receive additional
money, and was paid $1,000 even
though the Germans had surren-
dered before he got the money.

Truman Commutes
Death Sentence for
Two German Spies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Truman has commuted
to life in prison the death sentence
Of William Curtiss Colepaugh and
Eric Gimpel, who were convicted
last February of spying. the War
Department announced last night
Colepaugh, an American citizen,
and Gimpel were landed from q
German submarine at Frenchman's
Bay, Me, the night Of November
20, 1914, and were captured shortly
thereafter. They were tried by a
7-man military commission at Gov
ernors Island, N. Y, on a charge
of being Nazi spies and were SEN
fenced to hang.
The President, the announcement
said, acted on the recommendation
of the Secretary of War and the
Judge Advocate General.
Not Like War Crimes.
The department said that in the
case Of Gimpel, German national
the Presidents action was based or
the fact that under internationa,
law, acting as spy is not listed
as crime but is a recognized and
accepted practice in war commonly
employed by belligerents. In that
respect it differs from war crimes
which are violations of the accepted
rules of warfare and which will be
severely punished. in accordance
with the nature of the offense, re-
CARELESS of the cessation of hostili-
ties"
The Presidents action follows the
World War precedent of President
Wilson who. after the rmistice. COM
muted the death sentence of Ger
man spy.
During active warfare, spying is
punished as military preventive
measure. Many spies already have
been executed by American forces
in both the Europe and Pacific the
aters.
Japs Not Affected.
THE reduction Of the sentences
in the case of the two German
Spies" the War Department said,
establishes no precedents where
hostilities continue, as In the Japa-
nese theater, where a number of
spies have been captured by Gen.
MacArthur's forces and executed.
The death sentence of Gimpels
companion, william Curtis Cole
paugh, an American citizen, was
likewise committed to life imprison-
ment as the result of the recon-
mendation of the Judge Advocate
General and the Secretary of War,
based on information furnished by
the Attorney General and the di-
rector, Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton. relative to assistance rendered
to the Government after his appre-
hension.
"Colepaugh surrendered to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
soon after being landed from the
German submarine and a few days
later, as the result of information
supplied by Colepaugh, the FBI
captured Gimpel. The mission Of
the spies in this country was a COM
plete failure"

States Commissioner Norman J.
Griffin In Philadelphia. before whom
they appeared shortly after their
arrest.
Two Men Ask for Counsel.
The two men did not testify but
requested counsel through an inter-
prefer. The commissioner said
counsel would be appointed and the
men would receive further hearings
Thursday. After that the men con-
versed rapidly in their native tongue
and were ordered separated.
The FBI told this story Of Lara
dogoitia's mission to America:
He had lived in the United States
approximately II years before re-
turning to Spain in 1941. He was
recruited at Bilboa, Spain, by George
Lang, a known German espionage
agent. who trained him In methods
of coded writing
Worked in Rio de Janeiro.
The espionage recruit first went
to South America and operated ir
Rio de Janeiro from May to Octo-
Der, 1912. From Brazil he sent ar
average Of two letters a week to the
Germans, giving information In
secret writing on Allied shipping
Most Of his information was based
on conversations overheard in a bar
frequented by British and American
sailors.
Laradogoitia returned to Spain
and after additional training was
sent to the United States. On his
arrival in Philadelphia, he Jumped
the ship on which he was fireman
His instructions were to find
some one to construct and operate
a radio station so the information
he was to gather could be sent to
the Germans. The Nazis wanted
information on secret military de-
vices, including jet-propelled planes;
production of planes and ships; the
sailing dates. destinations and sizes
of conveys; the types of equipment
carried by embarking troops; the
exact location, size and number of
employees of aircraft factories and
shipyards.
Instructions Followed.
Laradogoitia followed the Nazi
instructions to the letter but un-

losses in his laying house this winter
by producing vigorous pullets last
summer. He raised the birds on clean
pasture and kept their grain ration
down so they ate more grass and Glow

into production a little late but laid
large eggs and lived to lay more.

Are Flown to
Eisenhower Party

Gen. Eisenhower and his party
of n Officers and 26 enlisted men
will be equipped with summer uni
forms, instead of woolen outfits
worn in Europe-thanks to special
shipment which is being flown to
Bermuda.
Only a few of the party had oo-
tanned summer outfits So the War
Department rushed arrangements
procured lightweight uniforms suit
able for the hot Washington
weather, and dispatched them post
haste to the last stopping place OF
the party before its arrival in the
United States.
A big transport plane was headed
for Bermuda anyhow. one official
said, and the uniforms were shipped
aboard. 1t is hoped they will fit.
Oficials said If tailors or filters
are necessary those in Bermuda
will do the job, as none were sent
from the United States with the
uniforms.
