Director Of Nazi Radio
Propaganda Is Called
To Axis Sally Trial
By jones J. CuIIinone

Horst Cleinow, who directed the
far flung propaganda operations
Fof the German short-wave radio
service during the war, has been
summoned to appear at the trea-
son trial Of Miss Mildred E: (Axis
Sally Gillars.
Chief Prosecutor John M. Kel-
ley, jr.. said he will offer Mr.
Cleinow to Chief Defense Counsel
James j. Laughlin when the trea-
son trial, which recessed for the
week end yesterday. is resumed on
Monday.
Mr.. Laughlin yesterday told the
seven men and five women Of the
jury that the Government had
failed to produce Mr.. Cleinow as a
witness against Miss Gillars. al
though he had testified as a
prosecution witness in other re-
cent treason trials.
Name Brought Into Case.
Mr.. Kelley jumped to his feet
Immediately and said the Govern
ment will be HAPPY" to call Nj.
Cleinow to Washington and tender
him as a witness for the defense.
Later Mr.. Laughlin said he was
not sure whether he would put Mr..
Cleinow on the stand as defense
witness.
Mr.. Cleinow's name was
brought into the case yesterday
when Franz j. Schaefer, former
news analyst and "all-around
man, for the German short-wave
radio service. testified Miss Gil
lars had told him she oeeuld not
cease her Axis Sally broadcasts
because she had been threat
ened."
Mr.. Laughlin had been. blocked
by. Nj. Kelley's objections when
be attempted to get Mr.. Schaefer
to ten of the threats on direct
examination. But on cross-ex-
animation a question asked by
Mr.. Kelley backfired and brought
the story of the alleged threats
into the open. Mr.. Kelley asked
what Miss Gillars told him when
he asked her if she was an
American.
Rehearsed Speech Charged.
"When she said she was an
American, asked her. Aren't you
worried about the way the war is
going, and why aren't you trying
to get out of it, if you're an
Americana, and she said, I've
tried to get out of it. but Cleinow
threatened me- I remember the
conversation well, because Clei-
now had threatened me pre-
viously."
Mr.. Kelley accused the witness
of making a rehearsed speech, and
this provoked an angry exchange
with Mr.. Laughlin. Judge Edward
M. Curran sternly admonished
both attorneys to address their re-
marks to the court.
Earlier in the day, Mr.. Laugh
lin filed a petition asking the
Court of Appeals to overrule
Judge Curran and order the Gov
ernment to bring three additional
witnesses here from Germany.
The witnesses are necessary for
Miss Gillars' defense, Mr.. Laugh
lin said, and unless they are pro-
duced. her rights under the Sixth
Amendment to the Constitution
will be violated.
Judge Curran had ruled that
District Court has no jurisdiction
over German nationals in a for
eign country.

These were the latest develop
ments:

man of the Presidents Council of

said the country is going through
q period Of healthy disinfiation"
but he said too many nervous fears
Of a possible economic bust could
be "snowballed into a recession" !"
2. Evan Clague, head of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, re-
ported unemployment has reached

Wholesale Price Index Rises.
8. For the first time in almost
two months, the BIS wholesale
price index showed a rise yester-'
day. It had been going down
slowly but steadily since the week
after Christmas. But on Wall
Street, prices dipped slightly.
4. Robert G. Goodwin, head of
the Bureau Of Employment Sc
curity, reported the number of
persons receiving jobless benefits
increased by $4,000 in the week
ending February IL to a total of
1.784,0o0. For the same week a
year ago the total was 100000.
But the number of persons asking

dropped to $4,000. about $1,000
less than the January peak figure
Of 415,o00.

March /. Chairman O'Mahoney
said he agreed with the position of
Government spokesmen that Gin
dationary pressures are still with

bers are almost certain to file a
vigorous dissent from the majority
report.
Meanwhile, the Truman pro-
gram calling for standby price
wage controls continued to mark
time at the Capitol. Chairman
Spence of the House Banking
Committee has promised hearings,
but there appears to be no gen.
eral sentiment for enactment Of
the measures in the midst Of the
current uncertainty over what |
lies ahead.
Price Drop Called Healthy.
Dr. Nourse, in adding the word
"disinflation" to Federal prose and
Government gobbledegook, talked
to reporters after a White House
conference with the President. He
said everything will be all right
II people will avoid getting jit-
terry" over what he called a
healthy" falling off in prices.
I'm not alarmed over price de-
clines unless people get jittery
and get out of the market" he
said.
DR.. Nourse explained "dis-infia-
ton" as a process of taking pres
sure off prices while "deflation"
could mean a collapse of the price
structure. He said he felt there
likely would be more ups and
downs in the price structure. He
added that instead Of the "level-
ing off" referred to the previous
day by the President the price
situation might turn out to be
"choppy."

Farmers Hardest Hit
When Food Costs Drop

Farmers had to take the biggest
part of the July to February drop in
retail food prices, says DR.. S. H..
Default, head of the Department of
Agricultural Economics and Market
ing at the University of Maryland.
A family market basket" of farm
food products, for which consumers
paid an annual rate of $708 at retail
last July, cost consumers $40 less in
February. Most of this saving to con-
sumers was due to the lower prices
farmers received for their food
products Farmers took more than
AIS of the drop, or $57 Reduction in
marketing costs accounted for only
$13 of the $40 saved to consumers.
This sort of thing is not unusual, DR..
Default, said, explaining that mar
keting charges change more slowly
than prices of farm products.
According to DR.. Default, the
marketing cost of the annual market
basket of the average family of three
in February was $317-about the
same as the entire retail cost Of the
market basket had been in 1910.

Use 1880 With
Care Is Advice

Sodium fluoracetate, the highly
effective rodent poison generally
known as compound 1880, must be
handled with extreme caution" ac-
cording to a warning just issued by
Mr.. George L. Hall, Chief Engineer
of the State Department of Health.
Accidental poisoning of human be-
ings, dogs, cats and desirable forms
of wild animal life can cause rapid
death, for comparatively small doses
are fatal and there is no known anti
dote.
"Pest control firms using 1880
should instruct their employees to
use the rodenticide with constant
awareness of its hazardous quality.
The compound should be stored in
labeled containers and warningly
colored with nigrosne black dye, for
it's natural appearance is similar to
flour, powdered sugar and other in
nocuous substances. Prepared sou-
tions of 1880 should be stored in a
safely locked place when not in use
and careful accounts should be kept
of the amount on hand.
"To protect themselves workers
should wear respirators to prevent

inhalation of dust when handling the
dry chemical Since the poison can
be absorbed readily through cuts and
abrasions, or even in some instances
through unbroken skin, gloves should
be worn during prolonged handling.
Hands should be kept away from the
mouth and washed thoroughly after
handling to prevent accidental swal-
lowing of small amounts of the
poison.
Accidental poisoning of other per-
sons and animals can be prevented by
precautions against the contamina-
ton of food or water, collection and
burning of uneaten bait and avoiding
any overflow or spilling of poisoned
water. The complete burning or deep
burial of poisoned rats or mice is
necessary because even dried carcasses
can cause secondary poisoning in cats
and dogs. Operators should keep COM
plete records of 1880 received and dis
and poisoned water. Owners of prop
erty or responsible employees should
be informed concerning the use of
1880 on their premises and asked to
sign a statement to the effect that
they know of its use and are aware of
the precautions that should be en-
ployed.
"The substance should be used only
by qualified pest exterminators and
should under no circumstances be
