“HEAR LAST PLEA IN INGALLS CASE

Jurors to Decide Today Whether She Was Nazi

| Agent or ‘Mata Hari.’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (U. P). |—A district court jury decides today whether 38-year-old Laura In{galls was a Nazi propaganda agent jor just an over-imaginative woman | who wanted to be “a sort of Mata Hari” in her country’s behalf. The bob-haired flier faces a possible maximum penalty, if the jury decides against her, of eight to 24 months in prison and a $1000 fine for failing to register with the State Department. The jury heard final arguments today. Miss Ingalls admitted she offered her services to Dr. Hans Thomsen, German charge d’affaires; Fritz Wiedeman, former German consul at San Francisco, and Baron Ulrich von Gienanth, second secretary of the German embassy and reputed head of Gestapo agents in the United States. Claims Leyalty to U. S.

| But, she contended, she made | isolationist speeches at Von Geinanth’s direction and received payments totaling $400 from him only because she wanted to investigate {the Germans and see if they were a in subversive activities. “I have a strong imagination,” | Miss Ingalls testified. “I saw myself as a sort of Mata Hari, an international spy, and I wanted to serve my country. ated.” According to her own story, Miss Ingalls served the Germans for 51 days. She was arrested Dec. 17. The dynamic and voluble flier, who used to be a concert pianist, nurse and Spanish dancer, explained that she had always admired the FBI and had tried three times to get a job as its first and only woman operative. She was rejected, however, ana decided to “go it alone.” Wrote Often to Thomsen

Her only purpose, she insisted, was to find out whether the Germans were, as “British propaganda” accused them of being, menaces to the United States. “I felt,” Miss Ingails testified, “that if I could appeal emotionally to them as a woman I could find out more than the FBI.” She wrote repeatedly to Thomsen

SCOUTS CLIMAX ANNIVERSARY

Boys Get Real Real Thrill as|

They Occupy Seats Of the Mighty.

Seekers for political faver would have been nonplussed had they gone to the offices of the various heads of state and municipal offices today, for strange faces looked from the seats of the mighty. The faces were those of young, eager Americans, Boys Scouts, who took a lively interest in the working of their various offices. The wholesale switch of offices served as a climax to Boy Scout Week, during which the activities of the country’s future leaders

have heen noted by an interested public. The top man of the state for awhile today was Robert Beam, an Eagle Scout, who lives at 1062 W. 32d St. Governor Schricker sat at his side, but didn’t interfere with “Governor” Beam’s administration.

An Hour Is Enough

Confidentially, Governor Beam

said that he was glad that his term of office was to last only an hour. “It’s too tough for a steady job,” he said. Mayor Sullivan's place was taken by Charles Miller, who lives at 733 N. Wallace. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett Miller, came to visit him in his office, but he was pretty busy making phone calls to his fellow officeholders. “This is swell,” Mayor Miller said, when asked how he liked his job— ‘I'd like to be the real mayor!”

Intrigued by Radio

The thing that impressed Don Kroggel, Shelbyville, who was for an hour or so director of Safety for Indiana in place of Don F. Stiver, was the use of radio in the State Police Department. Phillip Sheridan, Troop 72, who in everyday life is a freshman at Centra: High School of Lawrence

tendent of Indianapolis Schools. Other scouts who held offices were: Jerry Heater, Troop 91, Sheriff; Richard Goldstein, Troop 78, Lieutenant Governor; John Moore, Troop 202, Shelbyville, Director of the State Board of Health; John Dan, Troop 53, Postmaster of Indianapolis, and Federal Judge Hal Silver, Troop 19, and Bailiff of Federal Court, John Driver, Troop 43.

Municipal judges were: Frank

Army officials disclosed that, under Army rules, the soldier in charge of the truck must make good the loss, which will be about $21, one month's pay.

Smolensk Is Objective as Soviet Follows Up Gains

LONDON, Feb. 13 (U. P.).—The Red Army offensive was reported today to have smashed German heavy tank counter-attacks and rolled westward into White Russia in a drive that bent enemy lines back almost

400 miles from Moscow.

Russian war dispatches said the Soviet forces had battled their way into White Russia, the westernmost territory invaded by the Ger-

mans, at an unspecified point and British Exchange Telegraph Agency said that the “advance is continuing westward.”

The Russians also reported new gains on both flanks of the central front, including advances in the Leningrad and Kharkov areas, where Moscow dispatches said that guerrillas and Red Army forces had captured a number of towns and annihilated at least 3000 enemy troops in four engagements.

The Red Army re-entry into

White Russia represented a big gain on the central front, where the key town of Smolensk is the chief Soviet objective. North of Smolensk the Russian advance on White Russia previously had carried to within less than 100 miles of the Latvian border and was aimed chiefly at Vitshek, in White Russia. The morning Soviet communique, broadcast by Radio Moscow, reported major gains in the Leningrad area.

Invaders Return After Defeat To New Battle in Paan Sector

RANGOON, Feb. 13 (U. P.).— British army headquarters reported tonight that a new and heavy battle is raging in the critical Paan sector of the Salween River front and that the situation “is obscure.” The new battle is being fought in the area where yesterday the army reported Japanese forces had been badly defeated and put to flight by

Rance

British troops which inflicted heavy

casualties on the invaders. The army reported that in the Martaban sector, about 40 miles south of Paan the “situation is quiet.” In the Martaban area, across the Salween estuary from Moulmein, the Japanese in their only good foothold on the west bank, were being battered by rifle fire, bombs and bayonets.
