SUSPECTED IT SEIZED ON BUS

Charged With Sending News of U. S. Troops To Germany.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 27 (UP). ~Kurt Frederick Ludwig, 38, an Ohio-born “pocketbook maker,” was held today on a charge of mailing information about the numbers, disposition and equipment of the United States Army to Germany. He was indicted by a Federal grand jury in New York and arrested last Saturday by Justice Department agents as he was leaving a westbound bus in Cle Elum, Wash. He was held incommunicado until yesterday, when he was brought to Spokane for arraignment. Lardwig pleaded not guilty and U. 8. Commissioner Maurice Smith fixed bond at $50,000 and set Sept. 11 as a tentative date for a preliminary hearing. He will be returned to New York for trial.

Reported Escaping

U. S. Attorney Mathias F. Correa gaid in New York that Ludwig was attempting to escape when he was arrested. He said the accused had formerly lived in the Ridgewood section of New York. Ne said Ludwig was born in Ohio of parents “of German extraction” and was educated and reared in Germany. He returned to Germany for extended visits, particularly during Adolf Hitlers rise, Mr. Correa said. Never Arrested Before

Ludwig told FBI agents he returned from his last visit to Germany in 1940 and hadn't worked since. He said he was a “pocketbook maker.” Arthur Cornelius Jr., in charge of the FBI office here, asked Ludwig, a slight, blue-eyed. blond man, whether he had been arrested before. “Not in this country, never do 1 even get a parking ticket.” he said. The indictments said he committed the offenses “on or about” Aug. 4 and Aug. 23. Mr. Correa said Ludwig's case was “isolated” but FBI agents said he was arrested as a result of his “association with various foreigners whose activities have covered various parts of the United States and whom the FBI has been watching closely.”

1. The Indiana State Fair, which opens Friday, will have its share of levity, if the young men enmeshed in the musical instruments

are any indication. Members of the Hoosier Hot Shots, they will appear Saturday night on the four and a half-hour broadcast of the WLS National Barn Dance. They are: (left to right) Frank Kettering, Ken Trietsch, “"Hezzie” Hrietsch and Gabe Ward. 2. For 11 years Mr. and Mrs. Ira Reed of Hope have entered agricultural exhibits in the State Fair, Last year they took third and fourth prizes. They thought perhaps they wouldn't enter this year’s fair, but Mr. Reed said he got “Fair fever” again. They will exhibit 450 different crops grown on their 74-acre farm. 3. A total of 270 girls from all over the State are now attending the Home Economics School in the Youth Building, learning the fine points of how to manage a home. Mrs. Elmer Waters (left), staff member, demonstrates food preparation to Margaret Hedderich, Delphi, and Freda Steegmiller, Greencastle. 4.

Red, Polarized Screens Make Forest Men's Task . Much Easier.

By Science Service ASHEVILLE, N. C.—Forest fires will be spotted more easily if watchers make their observations through colored filters that polarize the light,

experiments by George M. Byram, Appalachian Forest Experiment Station here, have shown. The detection of distant forest fire smokes from high mountain lookout posts is made very difficult by the atmospheric haze which, even on clear days, obscures distant objects and makes them look blue. By the use of “colored polarizing screens” the haze can be penetrated. Mr. Byram, in tests reported to the journal, Science, used a red filter with polarizing screen. Red filters are in common use for cutting out the blue rays of the haze, but the addition of the polarizing screen greatly increases the effect. He photographed from Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina high cirrus clouds almost 350 miles away in western Kentucky. Only the curvature of the earth prevented a range greater than this. The polarizing screens used are similar in action to the polaroid

Workmen Busy

» EARL HOFF |

The ie State Fair Grounds today echoed the sounds of busy | hammer and saws. In preparation for the opening of the State Fair Friday, workmen were busy erecting the 300 concession stands that will line the Fair streets and fill in the gaps between buildings. Already, race and show horses have been stabled in the Horse Barn and in the frame buildings near the track. Trotters are working out on the oval.

Two hundred and seventy girls are housed in the Girls’ Dormitory in the Youth Building for the 23d annual Home Economics School which will last until Sept. 6.

300 Boys at 4-H

Three hundred boys are expected to move into the Boys’ 4-H Club Camp tomorrow in the Youth Building. Thursday, 200 other youngsters are expected at the Indiana University Building to form an orchestra, band and chorus as the Hoosier

Bov Scouts will set up their annual Camp-o-ral tomorrow. Commercial exhibitors are moving in their displays. Equipment is being installed for the Johnny K.

FourH Club entries of 1900 jars of fruits and vegetables, 800 clothing exhibits and 50 room improvement units are being judged in the Exhibit Build-

ng. Livestock entries are expected to arrive tomorrow. Farmers who will have agricultural exhibits already are busy arranging fancy displays.

The Fair's Ready

In other words, the Fair which attracted 435.862 persons from all over the State last year is about to start. It will last until Sept. 5. Thomas Johnston, publicity director, said the 250,000 half-price admission tickets all have been sold, 25,000 more than were put on sale last year. He predicted a new attendance record.

on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday during Fair Week. Those whose school terms begin next week won't be counted absent if they attend the Fair on Wednesday, Mr. Johnston said. Soldiers, sailors and marines in uniform or with proper credentials will be Fair guests on Sunday and Tuesday. A $600,000 exhibit of Army airplane engines, bombs, bombsights, canned rations, and a miniature air field will go on view Saturday in the Educational building. Of course the Army Air Corps, which is one of the sponsors of the show, cordially invites everyone to see the collection, but the pnes they are really out to impress are single young men from 21 to 27. It is hoped that many eligible young men will be interested to the point of inquiry about Uncle Sam’s flying orce. Others responsible for the aviation exhibit are the Allison Division of General Motors, whose engine will be shown, Stokely Bros. & Co., Inc, whose canned food is to be used, and the Fair. Among engines to be shown are the Allison V 1710-35, used in the Bell Airocobra; the Allison 1710-33, used in the Curtiss P-40; the Wright Cyclone F-50, and a British Rolls Royce liquid cooled Tijuid Cooler enfine

U. 3. EAVESDROPPING ON WORLD'S RADIO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U.P) .— The United States Government is “eavesdropping” on between 600,000 and 900,000 words of foreign propaganda broadcast daily, the Federal Communications Commission revealed today. The foreign broadcast monitoring service receives the broadcasts which are translated and analyzed by the defense communications board for use by the State Department and other Governmental officials. Through these broadcasts, the FCC said, it is often possible to predict moves of European governments at war. “A new course in policy can be reflected in broadcasts long before it is officially announced, or rumored in the press,” the commission said. “Indeed, the altered tone of certain foreign broadcasts gave the first indication that Germany was about to invade Russia and that Japan intended to occupy IndoChina.” The commission revealed that it operates four “listening posts”—at Portland, Ore, for Far Eastern broadcasts; at Kingsville, Tex. for Latin American events; at Santurce, Puerto Rico, for eastern Europe, and at Guilford, Me. for the rest of Europe, Africa and the Near East.
