E. Diiguay Describes Methods At Hearing Of Theft Charge Against Ottawa Pohtal Employe. Egbert Duguay. superintendent of investigations. Post Office De partment.

explained how Cana dian postal officials investigate suspected mail thefts, while testi fying at the General Sessions of the Peace yesterday. Mr. Duguay was the first wit ness for the Crown in the hearing of Romeo Hudon, 37, Ottawa postal employe, charged with theft of five letters containing 13 one-dollar bills on March 26 Judge F. L. Smiley presided Crown Attorney Raoul Mercier K.C., conducted the prosecution with Walter F.

Schroedrr, K.C.. defending Mr. Duguay testified that Hudon had for 11 years been a letter carrier but was a "sorter' at the time of his arrest. Accord ing to the witness, all employes in the Postal Terminal, Besserer street, were aware of the "gallery' from which Investigators watched every movement they made through small slots. He testified that he saw the accused making "suspicious" movements, such as opening letters and looking inside them and then patting the letters into their proper pigeon-holes During a recess on the night of March 26, witness went on Hudon had remained when all other employes left the building then cleared all boxes in the sort ing frame for district No.

79 (Rideau street area for letter carriers) which he described as "an irregular routine." Witness told of several letters containing one-dollar bills being placed in the mails so they would pass through Hudon's hands, the numbers of the bills being re corded. Mr. Duguay said he watched from the gallery, with Inspector Emile Gravelle, and saw the accused apparently put his hand in his trouser pocket several times. Mr. Duguay said Hudon had been taken to an office ln the terminal where bills bearing the same numbers as those placed in the mails were found in his possession.

His arrest followed. Questioned by Mr. Schroeder. Mr. Duguay said his observations had been concentrated on the accused to the exclusion of the whole staff as a result of reports received.

Witness denied the possibility of "optical illusions" caused by the gallery observation slots. He said no one but Hudon had been seen going through the "suspicious" motions he described. Inspector Emile Gravelle, of the Post Office Department and Constable John E. Logan, who arrested the accused, were heard this morning, and substantiated evidence already given. MRS.

TOKYO, June 3 Japan is supplying Germany with 1,500 tons of essential foodstuffs and commodities every day, informed sources declared today, and efforts are being made to increase this traffic despite a recent 500 per cent advance in freight rates to Berlin on Soviet Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway. For Several Months. The shipments from Japan. Manchukuo and Japanese-occupied sections of China have been going out steadily for several months, these sources said, as Germany has sought to minimize effects of the British sea blockade by trading through her Axis partner in the Far East. Helmuth Wohlthat, German economic expert, is conferring with Japanese officials to expedite the shipments.

To systematize the traffic. Germany has established forwarding agencies in Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Tientsin, Dairen, Man-chuli, Tsuigtao and Harbin. The plans of these agencies already exceed the facilities, even though Russia lias allotted 8.000 freight cars for this traffic, it was asserted. To Strengthen Route. While the Axis thus is making increasing use of its Far-Eastern gateway, the newspaper Asahi reported that British officials from Singapore, Burma, Chungking, Shanghai, Tientsin, Vladivostok, Tokyo, Australia and the Philippines had been conferring at Hong Kong since May 20 on "strengthening the land route between Burma and Singapore as well as on closer means of communication between Burma and Malaya," and on "establishment of powerful air bases at Chungking for joint use by British and American forces if necessary."

Plane "Baseed" Communique Does ISot Say If Other Transport Craft Took Part In Three Raids On Malta. VALETTA, Malta, June 3 (CP.) A German Junkers troop-carrying plane, be- leved by British sources to be empty of soldiers, was shot down into the sea by fighter planes today during the second of two daylight raids on this British Medi terranean stronghold. Third Malta Raid.

A communique did not disclose whether other Junkers troop- carrying planes took part in the second raid. It was the third time Malta had been attacked in 24 hours by Axis raiders. The communique also left un answered how many planes were in the raids and whether the Germans or Italians actually had attempted a landing or if other big Junkers were ln the attackm? force. AROUSES SPECULATION Shooting down of this type of plane aroused speculation as to whether the Axis meant to in vade Malta as a stepping stone to the North African front. The Nazis took over Crete with para chutists, glider troops and soldiers landed by air trasnport plane of the type shot down off Malta.

S. Wants Ruling On Defence Needs Ask "Prompt ami Derisive Auction" on Mandatory Priorities Along With Washington Statement. NEW YORK, June 4 (CP.) The magazine Iron Age said today ln its weekly review that the ateel industry la eager for "prompt and decisive action" on mandatory priorities aUAig with an authoritative statement from Washington as to which defence needs are to filled first. "The office of production management's general steel preference order of the past week." the review said, "is Interpreted as formally defining from a government standpoint an actual practice -which has been ln effect ln the steel industry for several months. The order Is considered merely a forerunner of stronger measures.

No Immediate Effect. "Last week's rearrangement of priorities will not have any broad effect immediately upon ateel mill production practices but may slow up ome of the non-defence inquiries which have been flowing into sales offices. Meanwhile non-essential tonnage has beim forced farther and further into the background by the growing weight of the defence program." Iron Age said the growing need for "a straightening out of steel distribu tion" was indicated by the second report of Gono Dunn. O.P.M. steel consultant, on the adequacy of the United fcitates steel capacity.

This forecast a denclt of 1.400,000 tons for 1941 as com pared with a surplus of 10.100,000 tons estimated tn the nrst report. Civilian Steel Needs. "A highlight of the Dunn report," Iron Age continued, "Is an estimate by the American Iron and Steel Institute's research committee on civilian steel requirements for various Industries for 1941 and 1942 and Its report on ateel distribution lart year. The committee reports, for example. that automobile trucks and mechanized military equipment, excUulIng tanks, took approximately 10,600,000 tons of ingots in 1940 and will require 11.000,- 000 tons in 1941 and 9,000,000 in 1942.

The construction industry, aside from public utility work and shipbuilding, received 6.900.O0O tons In 1940 but will take 9,400.000 tons ln 1941 and 8.100.000 tons tn 1942. Jobbers, dealers and distributors took 8,800,000 tons last year and will take an estimated 11.800.-000 tons ln 1941 and 12,300,000 tons ln 1942." Steel Ingot production for the cur rent week was estimated at 99 'i per cent, of capacity, up half a point. The iron Age scrap composite remained at $19.17 a gross ton. Money Rates BAR GOLD.

June 4 (CP.) Free French circles in London are alive with stories of the passive resist ance the Nazis are meeting from Frenchmen both ln occupied and unoccupied France.

Here are a few of them: In the Latin Quarter of Paris, where students demonstrate ac tively against the Nazis, the cafes along Boulevard St. Michel are filled with German soldiers. When the soldiers enter the restaurants they unclasp their belts and bayonets and hang them up. Students copy them by wearing a belt from which a bicycle pump is suspended by a piece of string. On entering a restaurant they make a great shdw of removing belt, string and bicycle pump and hanging them up in the German manner.

Another story tells of a German officer who walked about Paris for an hour with a piece of paper on his back on which was written, "De Gaulle temm." To the Germans this meant nothing, but to Frenchmen it read, "De Gaulle t'aime" "De Gaulle loves you." From Caen comes a report of a new form of punishment the Ger mans are imposing on the French. If a Frenchman is heard saying the word "Boche" he is taken before the kommandatur. The kommandatur, as a punishment. orders the offender to repeat 200 times the words, "Messieurs, les Allemands" "Gentlemen, the Germans." Allow French Convoy Into Mediterranean LONDON, June 3 (CP.)
