From U. S. With News
He Died Lost October
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, July 20.-The Rus
slams informed United States
Army headquarters today that
Fred w. Kaltenbach, 51-year-old
Iowan long sought by the Amer
leans as a traitor for broadcast
ing Nazi war propaganda from
Germany. died last October in a
Soviet detention camp.
A Red Army major general trans
mitted the information III a letter
to the American intelligence section
which previously had tried in vain
to learn his fate after his arrest by
the Russians more than a year ago
Kaltenbach, the Lord Hee Haw
of Radio Berlin, died of natural
causes at camp in the Soviet oc-
cupation zone of Germany, the let
ter said. The exact cause was not
specified, but it was known that he
had been i'll with a heart ailment
and asthma for at least 18 months
before Germany fell.
A native of Dubuque. Iowa, he
held master of arts degree from
the University of Chicago and a
doctorate of philosophy from the
University of Berlin. He specialized
on affairs of Germany, where both
his parents were born. ~.
(Kaltenbach was indicted with
Ezra Pound and six others on
treason charges by District of
Columbia grand jury on July 26,
1943. Pound was declared of un-
sound mind last February, after
being brought here from over
seas, and faces lifelong deten-
tlon in st. Eiizabeth's Hospital.
(Kaltenbach, famous for his
Berlin broadcasts to Dear
Harry" in Iowa and other myth
ical friends, was never tried here,
because the Justice Department
was unable to get it's hands on
him, as it did Pound who worked
in Italy.
Ikaltenbach was discharged as
hlgh school teacher in Dubuque
after he organized a Nazi group
among the students, according to
information in Washington. He
was an Army officer in the First
World War, but after going to
Germany he married a German
girl and took up support of Hit
ler's cause.)
His widow, the fromer Dorothea
Peters of Koeslin, Pomerania, said
in an interview at her Berlin apart
ment last July that Kaltenbach be-
came a tool of Nazi propaganda
through whim which led him to
study the terms imposed on Ger
many by the Versailles Treaty. She
said she had heard nothing from
him since Russian officers took him
away.
