Patrolman Stumble Onto’

“Hitler's 4 Stooges Landed From Sub, and ‘Played Dumb’; Tipped Off F. B. I.

WASHINGTON, July 16

(U. P.).—The military com-

mission that is trying eight Nazi ‘saboteurs today heard

more of a confession of one prosecution. The confession George John Dasch. Dasch was leader of the

of the prisoners read by the was believed to be that of

four who Tanded from a Ger-

man submarine near Amagansett, Long Island, surprised

John C. Cullen of Bayside, N.man, and proceeded to New

York City by train while] ;

coast guardsmen searched for

them among the Long Island

dunes.

Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, presi-| :

dent of the commission, disclosed last night that yesterday afternoon’s session of the .trial was devoted to the reading of a “very long statement” made by one of the accused to an ace F. B. I. counterespionage agent. Gen. McCoy said the reading was continuing today.

Stumbles on Saboteurs

» 4 Cullen, whose pretended gullibil- " ity duped the graduates of Hitler's

botage school, was revealed late esterday to have supplied the tip that led to the arrest of four of

‘the saboteurs landed on American

soil by a German submarine. His dramatic part in the roundup was told by the office of war information. Young _ Cullen, patrolling the beach near Amagansett, N. Y., virtually stumbled upon the four Sabo teurs, two of them in bathing suits, shortly after they disembarked from the submarine for their thwarted mission of sabotage. Cullen and another coast gusrdsman later saw what appeared to be the submarine.

Pretends Gullibility

Alone when he spotted the German agents, he realized that the only way for him to escape alive was to pretend to be unconcerned over their presence. So he ‘accepted a $300 “bribe” to keep his mouth shut and immediately left to report to his superior officers, as well as get rid of the bribe. The Nazis short-changed him by 840 even though they had $176,000 in American currency. Cullen had left his station at dnight for the six-mile coast pa- | trol which took him to Amagansett, The weather was thick, visibility

poor, and he had covered only 300|found German cigarets, clothing,}

yards when he saw three men, Two men who were dressed in bathing suits were in the water up to their knees and the third man, dressed in eivilian clothes, was standing on the shore.

A Threat of Death

Cullen called out: “What’s the trouble?” There was no answer. The man on shore started toward Cullen, the OWI said. Cullen repeated his question. Again there was no answer and the men continued to advance toward Cullen. At this point, Cullen reached: to his hip pocket for a flashlight and the foremost. man cried out: “Wait a minute. Are you coast guard?” > “Yes. Who are you?” Cullen replied. “A couple of fishermen from Southampton who have run aground,” the man said. “Come up to the station and wait ‘for daybreak,” Cullen invited. The spokesman for ‘bhe trig ‘snapped, “wait a minute—you don’t know what's going on. I wouldn't want to have to kill you.”

He Took the Money

Cullen said one of the two men in bathing suits appeared through the fog dragging a bag amd started to speak in German. Cullen asked, “what's in the bag? . Clams?” Cullen later said that he knew there were no clams for: miles around, but the man in civilian clothes said “yes.” : The OWI said Cullen’s pretended gullibility appeared to influence the spokesman for the trio. He turned ito Cullen and said: “Why don’t you forget the whole thing? Here’s some money—=$100.” Cullen told him that he did not want any money. The man took

additional bills from his wallet and said, “then take $300.” Thinking fast, Cullen replied, “0. k.” in order to get away and inform his superiors. The coast guardsman ran to his station and repdrted to Carl Ross Jenette, the officer in charge, what had happened and the search which ended in their capture began. Cullen’s alarm had given rise to fear of invasion and for a while guardsmen armed with .30-caliber rifles were deployed behind sand dunes to repulse the expected attempt of a military landing. The search continued all night, with soldiers joining in before dawn. After daybreak, the searchers

LESSENING OF SUB PERIL SEEN BY KNOX

MIAMI, Fla, July 16 (U. P).— American sub chasers, “using the same tactics as the British plus a few of our own added,” soon will greatly lessen the submarine menace in the Atlantic coastal lanes, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said today.

: SCHRICKER, who successfully weathered one G. O. P. tornado a year ago, undoubtedly will find himself in the cen- * ter of another should the Republicans carry their state and legislative

And, this time, the chances of him coming out of it with his gubernatorial shirt on his back would be decidedly slimmer. For the Republicans would have the now famous “ripper” suit decision to serve as a guide for them in writing new- legislation taking

away from the governor most of his present powers and patronage. There are plenty of lawyers, Democrats as well as Republicans, who say that laws can be written in complete conformance to the “ripper” suit decision that will serve to give the Republican state officials practically complete control of the state’ government. 2 E ”

G. 0. P. Studies Strategy

TOO, A G. O. P. victory would place James Emmert in the attorney general's office, which is elective this year for the first time in a decade. And it would be mighty tough on the governor to have to go through another court battle over his powers without having the attorney general on his side — as was the case in 1941. He probably would have to hire a personal attorney.

SATURDAY

MONDAYS 12:15 till 8:45

Gentlemen! We Give

Many prominent G. O. P, leaders are known to be considering strategy to be followed in case of victory at the polls in the general election.

One plan, conceived by some Republicans, which is almost sure to pop up in event of a G. O. P. victory, calls for the formation of a state administrative council of five members to run the state government. This council would be presided over by the governor as chairman and the other members would be Republican Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson (who is not up for election), the secretary of state, the state treasurer @nd the state auditor. The latter three would all be Republicans, of course, in event of a G. O. P. triumph. : 2 #8 =

THESE MEN WOULD meet, according to the plan, and decide

These five men, they point’ out, ; could sit down after the legisla=- . ture adjourned and decide “who should get what,” and, in case the governor objected to some proposal, a compromise could ale ways be effected. : The Democrats know, of course, what can be expected in case of a G. O. P. victory. i And they will spare no effort to attempt to elect a Democratic

- legislature this fall -as well as

their state ticket. If they should succeed only

“half way and elect a Democratic =

house, that, of course, would be sufficient to block all Republican plans and leave the governor with the powers he now has— the greatest any Indiana chief executive ever has had. ” ® ”

REORGANIZATION of the Democratic ward leadership in Marion county was completed toe day by Russell Dean, county chairman, with the appointment of John Linder, former county

. attorney, as chairman of Warren townsh .

He succeeds Rex Smith who was named ward chairman a few - months ago. The chairmen changes were made by Mr. Dean to “get new blood into the county leadership.”
