SPIES LOSE PLEN | TO HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal Denies Right to Civil Trial in Upholding FDR.
(Continued from Page One)
the Nazis, - There was some doubt whether the death penalty was requested for George John Dasch, the eighth member of the group who landed in this country last month from German U-boats. Dasch, who reportedly turned government witness, did not appeal his case to the high court. j he The commission's findings and decisions will be reviewed by President Roosevelt, and it is generally expected that the government's request for the death penalty will be accepted. Verdict Possible Tomorrow Attorney General Francis Biddle, chief prosecutor, expressed gratification with the success of the government’s arguments against issuance of writs of habeas corpus. He said that the decision of the military commission would be ready for transmission to President Roosevelt either late tomorrow or by Sunday. The defense arguments before the commission resumes at 1:30 p. m. and it was expected that these would be concluded by mid-after-noon. The commission probably will begin immediately its determination of the guilt or innocence cf the accused. The court’s brief opinion gave no indication of how deeply Mr. Roosevelt’s war powers as a whole were considered, but it nevertheless was interpreted as at least tacit consent by the tribunal to some steps which, at least in time of peace, would undoubtedly be held invalid, It was expected that this issue might be discussed at greater length in the promised “full opinion.” : Knows No Other Steps _ Col. Kenneth Royall, chief defense counsel, was asked if there were any other steps he could take in behalf of the saboteurs. “Not that we know of,” he replied. The text of the decision:
“PER CURIAM: In these causes motions for leave to file petitions for habeas corpus were presented to the U. S. district court for the District of Columbia, which entered orders denying the motions. Motions for leave to file petitions for habeas corpus were then presented to this court, and the merits of the applications were fully argued at the special term of court convened on July 29, 1942,
“COUNSEL FOR petitioners subsequently filed a notice of appeal from the order of the district court to the U., 8. court of appeals for the District of Columbia, and they have perfected their . appeals to that court." They have presented to this court petitions for writs of certiorari before Judgment of the U. 8S. court of ‘appeals for the District of Columbia, pursuant to 28 U. 8.,C. £347 (A). “THE PETITIONS are granted. In accordance with the stipulation between counsel for petitioners and for the respondent, the papers filed and argument had in connection with the applications for leave to file petilions for habeas corpus, are made aplicable to the certiorari proceedings. “THE' COURT has fully considered the questions raised in these cases and thoroughly argued at the bar, and has reached its conclusion upon them.

Gentiles are doing most of the fighting. = a Newspaper Analyst Heard
The government called a newspaper analyst in the office of war information, Mrs. Persis Richter, to
death penalty for at least seven of|report on & study she had made at
the prosecution’s request of newspaper editorials as they tended to refute some of Pelley’s allegedly false statements.- : Mrs. Richter, a 25-year-old brunet and a University of Minnesota graduate, was the first woman of more than 40 witnesses called by the government. A . She said that the government had asked her to study editorials in reference to five statements made by Pelley which are contained in the indictment against him and that in the 52 daily newspapers studied, she had found 280: editorial statements which she considered as a refutation of Pelley’s statements, One of Pelley’s allegedly false statements: which she studied, pertained exclusively to Indiana. It was: “No realist in his senses would contend there is unity in the country for the war's prosecution. A couple of weeks in Indiana would dispel such illusion.”
Indiana Papers Studied
The witness said she had studied 11 Indiana newspapers for the week preceding the issuance of the Feb. 23, 1942, Galilean which contained the statement, and had found a total of 67 editorials from all 11 newspapers which she construed to show that there was unity in the country. 3 EE hy - She said that the Evansville Courier led all the Indiana papers studied with 12 editorials: on unity; The Indianapolis Times had four, and the Indianapolis News three. Mrs. Richter said a separate study of The Chicago Tribune had been made in reference to all five statements from The Galilean and that she had found a total of 15 editorials which she considered to refute Pelley’s assertions.
Studied Other Statements:
The other four statements she studied were: : 1. “From North Carolina to Seattle, Wash.,, you can travel and hear scarcely a word of condemnation of the Nipponese, Germans or Italians.” : : 2. “It is a fact that nobody in the U. 8. had a flicker of feeling one way or another against Japan or Hitler, excepting racial blocks of refugees, evicted from their financial sinecures abroad.” 3. “There is not the slightest enthusiasm in all America for this war.” ; 4, The typical American unwittingly gloats when any axis power reports success abroad even against our own forces.
Claims Comment Refuted
Mrs. Bichter testified at length concerning her study in regard to these quotations and said that she had found papers throughout the nation whose editorial comment refuted them. : Under cross-examination, she said
editorials to which she referred were the opinion of one man or several, : In answer to a question by defense attorney Oscar F. Smith, she said that she did not study the papers for-the purpose of finding
its own shores and own people first, but she estimated that there was not more than 10 such editorials found.

intelligence service of the federal communications commission, testified today as a German short-wave propaganda analyst. He told the jury that Ceerman propaganda had been classified by his . department into 14 diStrict themes. The themes were: + The United States is internally corrupt, its foreign policy is unjustifiable, the president is repre= hensible, Great Britain is internally corrupt, ‘ the foreign policies of Great Britain are morally unjustifiable, Prime Minister Churcl:ill is reprehensible, Nazi Germary is just, virtuous; it’s aims are ‘noble and true. | - The foreign policies of Japan are morally justifiable... Nazi Germany is powerful, Japan is powerful, the United States is weak, Great Britain is weak, the united nations are disunitel and the United States and the world are menaced by communists, Jews and plutocrets. - _ Graves was called in a preliminary move by the government in an attempt to.draw a parzllcl between German propaganda and Pelley’s writings.

Mr, Eccles was requested to bring information concerning the financial status of the United States. The government charges that Pzlley’s statement that the U. 8. is bankrupt is false. -
Financial Experts Testily
The government dwelt on this financidl aspect of the indictment of Pelley and his associates, Miss Marion Henderson and Lawrence A. Brown, at some length late yesterday. : : El Paul E.

as city-county consolidation; elimination or merger of townships, etc., to correct haphazard and inequitable administration of property assessments, poor relief, purchasing and other governmental functions. The latter four points, it was explained, would require legislation broadening the powers of the city corporation. Headed by Paul L, McCord, real estate man, the committee empowered its chairman to appoint an executive sub-committee which will draw up legislation and detailed plans incident to carrying out the program, ‘Taking Part Were:
Taking part in the opening discussion yesterday were. George A. Kuhn, Chamber of Commerce president; George T. Whelden of the county . planning commission; Dr. Norman M. Beatty, physician: Howard M. Morse of the Indianapolis
man; J. I. Holcomb, manufacturer; Leo Welch of the city works and sanitation board, and William H. Book, Chamber of Commerce executive vice president. One of the ultimate purposes of the . committee is to seek a coordinated city-county government which would clear up increasing complications and confusion over fire protection, sanitation, police protection and taxes.
Cite 25,000 Increase
Mr. Book told the committee that Indianapolis’ population has increased at least 25,000 since 1940 and it was further pointed out that 90,000 persons now live in the county outside the city limits. Until the last legislature, it was possible for small county communities outside the city limits to incorporate. Under a new state law, however, they now must seek the permission of the city government. Mr. Book pointed out that a bill to combine the city and county planning commissions passed the
vote during the last legislature, but was pigeon-holed in the house. Warning that city facilities for sewage and garbage already are
