her father answered.
Then the lady in the white hat

little frankie came, he would

construction job to find the
children crying for food, un-
washed, their clothes needing
mending. He would have to feed
them himself. and tidy up the
room, while his wife lay, unheed-
ing. on the bed.
Sometimes he found frankie
screaming, unnoticed. on the floor.
He would reproach his wife, only
to have her ignore him. with
look in her eyes that frightened
him.

gan asking the neighbors every

With Christmas only three

stand it no longer. He went to

priest for help.
Emily was sent to a hospital.
The doctors. Angelo hoped. would
know her sickness, and cure it. A
housekeeper came in the daytime
to care for the children.
But Christmas Eve came. and
Angelo couldn't face the next day

Twelve nights later it happened.
Emily picked up a soda bottle

to stop her.
Angelo sent 6-year-old Peter to
bring help, and the police came
and took his wife away. She didn't
come home again.

Stricken After 1925,
Later Feared Death
By Nozis, She Says

Herman j. Burgman, accused
of making treasonable broadcasts
over the German radio during
World War II, was under severe
mental disorders at the time. his
wife testified today.
Mrs. Johanna Burgman was a
lead-off witness as the defense
opened it's case in District Court.
Her testimony indicated that the
defense of the former State De-
partment clerk will depend upon
a plea of insanity for the period
during which the alleged broad
casts were made.
Mrs. Burgman, a plump, gray
haired woman, told the jury she
was married to Burgman in 1920
while he was in Germany in the
Army of Occupation. Since then
they made their home in Berlin.
where Burgman worked continu-
ously at the American Embassy
until the outbreak of war.
The mental disorders which she
described started after 1925, she
said. While still working at the
embassy, Burgman was convinced
that some one" was trying to kill
him.
Described as Shy.
''He was very shy" she testified,
"was afraid some people in the
embassy would try to kill him, or
would try to make him insane to
get rid of him.
Il had to take him to and from
work because he feared some one
would try to push him under the
wheels of the train
Mrs. Burgman also testified her
husband was suspicious of people
living across the street from them.
When he returned home. she said,
he would enter cautiously. look in
all the closets and under the beds
for people he thought were hiding
there.
AT night he was afraid and left
the light on" she told the court
He stuffed his mattress with
newspapers, telling me the bed
was wired with mocrophones."
Throughout her testimony Burg
man hardly glanced at the wit
ness. Most of the time he sat
slumped in is chair reading a
document.
Planned to Leave Reich.
At the outbreak of the war in
1941 Burgman had made plans to
leave Germany with the rest of
the American embassy staff, Mrs
Burgman said. He had taken
his passport to the embassy and
had come home to make final
preparations for departure on the
evening Of December II. That |
night, she said, Burgman suffered |
an acute heart attack and a doc
tors certificate was sent to the
embassy stating that he was too .
i'll to be moved. /
After his recovery, later in
January, she went on, Burgman .
reported to the police and tried
to find work through the German
labor Office. He was unsuccessful
until he was ordered" to report
to the German broadcast head
quarters in February of 1912.
After he became employed at |
the broadcasting station, M. /
Burgman testified. her husbands /
persecution complex centered |
itself on the Gestapo. HE imag- |
ined they had microphones in
stalled all over the place, that |
they came to the house in the |
night and searched his desk" At !
one time, she said, he stood on
the dining room table and took
apart a large lamp that hung
from the ceiling.
He believed it was wired with
explosives and that it would go
off in the night and that we
would all go to pieces" Mrs Burg
man said.
Judge Alexander Holtzof asked
the witness: Wasn't everybody
in Germany afraid of the Ges-
tapo?" The witness replied: "Oh.
yes"

Gates of international rule for Je-
rusalem won a victory in a United
Nations subcommittee last night.
But a stiff fight over the disputed
issue remains before final action
by the 59-nation Assembly.
Despite strong Israeli protests,
the subcommittee voted, 9 to 6, to
recommend that the Holy City be

sion responsible to the U. N. Trus-

Israel, which regards the New

control the old city OF Jerusalem,

eighty to an international regime.
The subcommittee recon-
