Swarthmore. Pa, Ort. 22 (VP) _ Natl leaders In Germany spent a great deal of time and effort on proposed schemes to defeat the late Prealdent Roosevelt each time he ran for reelection. according to O. John Rogge, special assistant to the U. S. torney general. In a speech here last nighi, he *ald that the late William RDavie nn American promoter Who had been selling oil to Germany, approached Reichsmarghall Hermann flooring before the IW4O elec Hons with a plan in which Davis claimed he could Influence John L. Lewis to oppose Mr. Roosevelt and helj> elect Wendell Wilkie, the Republican candidate. Rogge said !-ewis had aided Davis In IJ*3B to secure control of exprojrrlated Mexican oil which Davis sold to Germany. He said Davis’ election plan was a "fantastic scheme." Lewis, president of the I'nited Mine Workers, came out publicly for Wilkie later. Rogge did not say that German Influence had any bearing on lewis' derision. In Washington, a spokesman for Lewi* declined to comment on Rogge’s statements. The spokes man said Lewis would have no comment. Rogge noted shat Washington columnist Marquis Childs had reported that Davis put up 155.000 to pay for the nationwide radio hookup over which la-wia an* noiiticed his support for Wilkie in 1940. In response to questioning after hi* speech. Rogge said he did not think Lewis’ action had violated any fededal staute. “If they did," he added, "the statute of limitations ha- already expired.” Rogge spoke before a group of serial science students at Swarthmore College. He told a reporter his address was based on a chapter from a voluminous report he has prepared for attorney genera) Tom Clark after questioning hundred* of persona here and abroad and examining hundreds of cap tured German flies. Rogge said Nazi foreign minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop set up a spec lai committee in the German administrator for rent, said the threat would not alter OPA’s decision to maintain rent ceilings at present levels. (Carson said an earlier strike attempt on the west coast failed because ow tiers refused to participate.) Plane for a nationwide landlords’ strike will be placed liefore a convention of the National Apartment Owners Association in Oklahoma City Nov. 18 and 19. (George W.

Davis told me that by use of his Influence on Lewis he could influence the elections In such a manner so that the reelection of Roosevelt . . . could be prevented.’’ As fnr Davis’ oil deals. Rogge said that on April IS, 1938. Lewis telephoned a Mexican labor leader tolling him Davlx was en route to Mexico City by plane and assuring him Davie was "all right."

With the "help and support" of Lewis, Rogge said. Davis then secured control of expropriated Mexican oil and arranged for ship inents to Germany. Rogge also es«erted; 1. That lx>wfs Interceded with President Roosevelt to obtain an appointment with the President for Davia on Sept. 15, 1939.
