TRAFFIC TOLL HERE DOUBLED

10 Killed Last Month, Five In January, 1941; Heavy Fines Given 623.

Indianapolis’ traffic death toll during January was twice as high as the same month a year ago despite heavy fines imposed upon 623 violators and the sentencing of 26 motorists to jail terms last month. The monthly report of Capt. Leo Troutman, of the Police Traffic Division, showed that 10 persons were killed in the city last month, seven of them pedestrians. During January, 1941, only five persons were killed. During the same month two years ago only two were killed.

1444 Drivers Arrested

The only bright spot in the traffic picture last month was a reduction in the number of persons injured in accidents. They totaled 213 compared to 220 a year ago. A total of 1444 motorists were arrested last month compared to 1683 in January a year ago.

Di Mag's Parents Ask Citizenship

SAN. FRANCISCO, Feb. 11 (U, P.) —Papa and Mama DiMaggio, parents of the baseball playing brothers—Joe, Dominic and Vince —sought American citizenship today because they heard they might be considered enemies of their adopted country.

The former fisherman and his wife, whe have nine children, all citizens of the United States, technically are citizens of an enemy nation. Under present Federal laws they may not obtain final papers until the war ends.

LINKS INGALLS WITH NAZI AID

Witness Tells of Acting as Go-Between for Flier And Embassy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. PJ). —The Government hoped to complete its case today against Laura Ingalls, 38-year-old flier whom witnesses have described as an ardent admirer of Germany and propaganda tool of Baron Ulrich von Gienanth, former second secretary of the German embassy here. The Government's last important witness was German-born Julia Kraus who acted as communications intermediary between Miss Ingalls and von Gienanth.

Committee rallies preaching an anti-British, pro-German gospel. Miss Kraus, until recently an employee of the District of Columbia Alley Dwelling Authority, testified that she arranged the meeting between Miss Ingalls and von Gienanth and thereafter acted as a gobetween. The witness identified letters exchanged between her and Miss Ingalls in which they discussed “the

cause.” Miss Ingalls listened calmly as Special Prosecutor M. Neil Andrews read to the jury the following excerpt from one of her letters to Miss Kraus:

“I am willing to obey blindly for the sake of what I believe. Please tell your mother.” “Your mother,” the evidence brought out, was a code designation for von Gienanth.
