BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA seven-
man military commission today re-
sumed the trial Of two accused NAH
spies, continuing testimony that
Connecticut-born, 26-year-old Will
liam Curtis Colepaugh was a fre-
quent visitor aboard a German
tanker In Boston Harbor in 1901.
Colepaugh and Erich Gimpel, IS,
native-born German engineer. faced
the commission for the first time
yesterday as their secret trial got
under way on Governors Island.
The FBI says the two men landed
secretly on the Maine coast Novem-
ber 20 from German submarine.
Three witnesses described Cole
paugh's visits to the tanker Pauline
Friedrich.
Miss Agnes Mclaughlin of
Dorchester, Mass, who compiled
records based on customs guards
reports, said Colepaugh visited the
ship on 81 days between March 2,
1910, and March IA, 1941, and once
stayed aboard a week.
Duncan A. Grant of Cambridge.
Mass, collector of customs at Bos-
ton, said he saw Colepaugh chipping
paint on the ship in 1910. Mr.. Grant
said Colepaugh told him he was a
visitor and not member of the
crew.
| Vernon NJ Tobey, also of Cam
bridge, inspector of customs at Bos-
ton, said he saw Colepaugh going
aboard the ship in the spring of
1910. Mr.. Tobey scaid Colepaugh
told him he liked the people on
board better than the people ashore
or in this country"
Colepaugh and Gimpel also lost
two preliminary moves in their trial.
The commission refused to elm
mate a change that they conspired
to commit sabotage and espionage
in this country and also refused to
try the two men separately.

Move Made 10 Shorten
Senate Hearings on
Mexican Wafer Pact
BY the Associated Press.

65 the ASboClSteo FIese
California witnesses opposing the
United States-Mexican water treaty
began their second week Of testi-
mony before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee today amid in
dications the hearings will continue
at least two weeks longer.
Five other States interested In
the treaty for distribution Of wa
ters Of the Colorado River and Rio
Grande remain to be heard.
AS step toward shortening the
oral hearings, one California wit
ness, Harry Horton, counsel for the
Imperial Irrigation District, agreed
to submit large part of his re-
marks as written brief.
Mr.. Horton centered his fire on
the treaty - which among other
things would guarantee Mexico
! 500 900 acre-feet Of water annually
from the Colorado -o on what he
claimed were its administrative de-
ficiencies.
He said members of the Interna-
tional Boundary Commission would
be given broad powers in perpetuity,
would have the right to take over
properties, and would be immune
from court actions on the part of
American citizens.
Many of the powers granted the
commission to carry out terms of the
proposed agreement should be re-
tanned by Congress, he argued.
Don't you think the treaty would
have to run in perpetuity?" Senator
Millikin, Republican, of Colorado
asked him.
AS for distribution of water, yes.
but as for administration, never!"
Mr.. Horton shouted.
Mr. Horton said he did not think
the Boundary Commission needed to
own anything except some ONCE
space.
One of Caifornia's S chief arguments
against the treaty is that a guaran-
tee of 800 900 acre-feet of water to
Mexico will deprive American users
of water in the future.
Mr.. Horton said he considered the
terms of the treaty IAN appeasement
to Mexico"
