United States. * Six of the 14, arrested in Chicago and New York by FBI agents, were women. Two were parents of one of the saboteurs, now on trial before a special military commission here, and one was the wife of another defendant. The entire group, which included four Germans and 10 American citi-
zens, tried in various ways to as-
sist the saboteurs from the time they were landed on the Florida and Long Island coasts from sub-
marines to the time they were ar-
rested, it was charged. Face Treason Trials
At the justice department it was said that the American citizens could be tried in civil courts on charges of treason, the Germans under the espionage stautes. In any event, the 14 men and women face a possible maximum penalty of death. Announcement of the arrests was made while the saboteurs’ trial was proceeding in its fifth day. After the morning session Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, president of the commission, disclosed that defense counsel were still cross-examining an FBI counter-espionage agent who had testified for the prosecution on Saturday.
Knew of Mission FBI Director J. Edgar. Hoover charged that all of those newly arrested aided the saboteurs in full
knowledge of their mission. “All 14 of these individuals,” he said, “were aware of the arrival of the eight saboteurs from Germany on a secret mission, ‘but none of them made any attempt to report the information to the FBI or to any other authority.” Mr. Hoover accused the group variously of: 1. Contacting the saboteurs immediately after their landing from the U-boats which brought them to this country. 2. Giving them shelter. 3. Furnishing an automobile with which to transport explosives .and incendiary devices with which the Gestapo-trained Nazis hoped to carry out their mission.
Helped Conceal Case
- 4 Helping the saboteurs conceal $176,000 which the Gestapo had supplied them for use as bribes in buying treasonable assistance. 5. Acting as messengers in getting currency of large denomination changed to smaller bills in order to divert suspicion. Attorney General Francis Biddle did not announce plans for prosecuting the new prisoners. It was pointed out, however, that the four German citizens might be tried befor the military commission now sitting. | It was generally believed at the | justice department, however, that the trials would be in civil courts.

{TE Charges Prohibition Drive
Is Aid and Comfort to Asie
WASHINGTON, July 14 (U. P.).— Struthers Burt, writer and former newspaperman, charged today that American prohibitionists were engaged in a dry campaign that “is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. » Warning that the nation was threatened with “the resurgence of prohibition,” Mr. Burt asserted that steps must be taken at once “to put back again where it belongs this monstrous and dividing question.” His charges were contained in an article carried by “Real Review,” publication of Rcpeal Associates, Inc, an organization founded ‘in 1936 to “oppose any return of the calamitous results which the nation suffered throughout the prohibition era.”

Declaring that the dry forces were multiplying and gathering their strength for an all-out assault on the repeal amendment, Mr. Burt said prohibitionists - were playing into the hands of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, “It is amazing,” he added, “that they will not realize that every time in this crisis they push this, to say the least, provocative issue they are dividing America and aiding our enemies.”
