dumping stopped. There was some

China can go through a major

Very few seem to have any

to one of the bitterest excoriation

Chief Prosecutor John M. Kelley
jr., urged a jury to convict her
of treason.
Traitor, sadist, liar, stupid and
selfish were some Of the epithets
hurled at the 48-year-od Ameri-
can-born defendant by the prose-
cutor as he summed up the
Governments case.
Throughout his summation, MIR.
Kelley urged the jury OF five
women and seven men not to be-

was forced to broadcast wartime
Nazi propaganda over the German
radio and that throughout the
war she remained a loyal and

He recalled that Miss Gillars
was broadcasting for the German

asked the jurors if they remem-

France.
"She was on the winning side
them Mr.. Kelley said, and all
she cared about was her own
selfish fame. She. too. absorbed
the joy of conquest. She felt the

Mr.. Kelley read to the jury from

Miss Gillars in which she declared
that Adolf Hitler had no designs

had made Hitler very unhappy"

By Miriom Ottenbera

Senator Mundt, Republican. Of
South Dakota, charged today the
United Nations had hired some
former Government employees fired
by the State Department as Sc
curity risks.
Because the American Govern
ment is not consulted about ap-
pointment of Americans to the
various U. N. staffs, Senator Mundt
declared, "the whole thing is
packed to the left"
He made the statement amid
growing congressional interest in
the personnel of the United Ma
tions and the possibility that the
world organization may be used
as a base for spying operations
in this country.
Capitol attention was focused
on the United Nations after Judith
Coplon. a Justice Department en-
ploye, and Valentine A. Gubitchev,
Russian engineer on the U. N.
staff, were seized by the FBI in
New York Friday night on espion-
age charges.
There were these congressional
developments:
l. Representative Walter. Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania said he had
learned that among the documents
found on Miss Coplon when she
was arrested was information on
a phony secret weapon" devised
