them were each fined $10000 and sentenced to 25 imprisonment ederal Judge William Camp bell called them of and in fixing their punishment he said is a war of people against people as well as cannon against cannon To endanger the home front therefore is as treason able as the act of spiking our guns in the facenf the The white faced defendants who heard their sentences without ap parent emotion were proved to have aided and comforted Herbert Hans Haupt one of the six Nazi saboteurs executed in Washington Aug 8 They were young par ents Hans and Erna Haupt his uncle and aunt Walter and Lucille roehling and two friends of the family Otto and Kate Wergin URGED MERCY has urged mercy for the prisoners before the bar particu larly in the cases of the three women as Judge Campbell said as he soberly read his 1200 word statement are no priorities on mercy Like justice it is the common hope of all weighing the mercy pleas for the women here involved it also has been incumbent on the court to con sider the millions of suffering moth ers of the boys who are fighting this war for us And the mothers who must toil in aluminum and powder plants or on production lines in con stant danger from saboteurs moth ers who had equal rights to consid eration with the prisoners here defendants by their acts have thus forfeited any right to consideration as The convicted men and women listened with their eyes glued on the face They heard the men sentenced to be electrocuted Jan 22 They heard the women condemned to spend most of the rest of their lives in prison And then they leaned back in their chairs Wergin leaned across the two chairs that separated him from his wife picked up her hand kised it and laid it back 'in' Judge Campbell stated: was apparent that each of the women defendants though knowing the seriousness and evil nature of her actions undoubtedly followed the leadership of her husband This being true the court recognizes a distinction between the and degree of guilt the case of the husbands the evidence shows deliberate adhering and giving aid and comfort to an enemy in time of war To counte nance such conduct by leniency while our nation fights for its very existence would be such dereliction of duty as would be second only to the treason thus The three middle aged couples were convicted by a jury of eight women and four men The minimum penalty that could have been fixed was five years in prison The defendants were accused specifically of harboring and assist ing young Haupt after his return to this country aboard a German sub marine last June

City Ill and thence to New Jersey The line already being built to Illinois Ickes said is scheduled for completion by Dec 15 but probably would be held up because of a labor shortage and delays in obtaining pumping equipment He said the extension of this line to New Jersey probably would be completed by next June resulting in daily delivery of an additional 300000 barrels of crude oil to the eastern coast Asked bv committee members how public confusion with respect to the oil supply situation might be elim inated Ickes suggested that the pub lic quit reading the newspapers and that

new gains to maintain their average of six to 12 miles a day northwest of Stalingrad and nine to 12 miles a day southwest of the city The deepest reported penetration was at Chernyshevskaya on the Chir river 125 miles west of Stalingrad and 75 miles west of Kalach the rail road town on the Don bend which the Russians seized over the week end Chernyshevskaya is some 40 miles southwest of Kletskaya the Don river citadel 100 miles northwest of Stalingrad which the Nazis overran in their fall drive toward the Volga: Now Germans holding positions at Kletskaya are nienaced from two sides

few provinces that surround the capital the Japanese program of conquest is incomplete increasing num bei of authorities believe that the Japanese already have achieved the outer limits of the space they set out to make their own but without the heftrt that unconquered western and southwestern half of China their new empire remains pretty much a hollow shell If they could gain that' there is reason to believe they would be content merely to fight to hold what they already have grabbed leaving India Siberia and Australia alone MAY TRY CfalNA AGAIN So be surprised if the next major undertaking of the Japanese army is another effort to knock China out of the war A similar pre diction was made in this column six months ago when many prophets were talking about India and Si beria

the half year was the campaign in Chekiang and Kiangsi which ended in costly futility or five years and four months now Japan has been trying to bend China to her will She can not cease trying without admitting that the whole program of conquest has failed MAJOR BATTLEIELD Evidence is mounting that Burma and the adjoining Chinese province of Yunnan will be one of the major battlefields thus winter
