Two Saboteurs Whose Lives Were Spared - Likely to Be Witnesses. gi

ewasHiNGTON, Aug. 10 (U. P.).—The justice. depaits % : plans to seek indictment of the 14 alleged confederates i: “Nazi saboteurs on charges of ' ‘treason, it was

d from an authoritative source today.

These charges were discussed at a conference of Attor-|

General Francis Biddle and members of his staff. No

ficial word was forthcoming,

but it was learned that treason :

charges had been agreed upon. = ~

“Death can be the penalty for treason, although the trial |

judge, at. his discretion, may impose sentences of not less than five years in prison and not less than $10,000 fine. " The two of the eight saboteurs who talked and lived, George John Dasch and Ernest Peter Burger, remained un-

der heavy military guard in

the District of Columbia jail

where their six colleagues walked in.a semi-trance to the

electric chair on Saturday. at Walter Reed hospital but some time today military authorities may decide how dispose of them. It is possible that Dasch and

~ Burger will be held available to

testify against their confederates who were. Younded up in New York and Chicago soon after the Gestaed saboteurs were captured. Atjpresent 10 of the accomiplices

are. charged with being accessories and four are held as enemy aliens. Under existing’ law, conviction on ~ the accessory. charge is comparatively light—a maximum of 10 years imprisonment, .

Two Witnesses Needed But for treason, the maximum

penalty is’ death. For this reason,

justice department authorities are

reviewing the Feoords of the sabo-

teurs’ “contacts” to ide whether to bring the more serious charge

tion concerning Nazi espionage and sabotage methods. They might also be useful witnesses against three other Nazi saboteurs — Walter. Kappe, Joseph Schmidt, and Rheinhold R. Barth —for whom the FBI has asked the nation to be on the lookout. The reactions of the six saboteurs as they were led, one by one, to the execution chamber, was still a closely kept secret. It was understood, however, that they went to their deaths without emotional displays. They seemed to be in a “semitrance” — stunned and confused— authoritative sources reported. e executions began at noon and

- lit was estimated that they were

carried out at the average rate of 14 minutes each. This involved bringing the men from their cells in the death row for the short walk to the chair, strapping them in, adjusting the electrodes, making other mechanical preparations, the actual electrocutions and then removal of the bodies. It was understood that the condemned men were not certain of their fate until Friday and it was not until mid-morning Saturday that they were aware that- death ‘was but a short time away. At that. time, they were removed from their cells in the south wing of the prison and taken to death cells close to thé execution chamber. There, their heads were shaven and they were otherwise prepared for the chair. This task customarily is performed by the prison barber. But in this case army authorities were believed to have called N a soldier to do the job. There was no hint in the official announcement as to the order in which the men went to the chair but it was recalled that in the last multiple execution in the district —when three ‘men died the same night in 1938—the condemned died in the habetical order of their names. !

RAF BOMBS RAIN -ON OSNABRUCK|

Admit Six Planes Are Lost Indicating a Large Raiding: Force.

LONDON, Aug. 10 (U. P.)—British long range bombers, resuming the offensive against war-industrial western Germany, made an attack during the night on the great. railroad and factory center of Osna-<

bruck.

only a minute p2 srcentage of the planes engaged were lost, and offi= cial admission that six of the great bombers were missing, indicated that the raiding force Had run well into the hundreds. Germany admitted that “several” fires had been started, as usual in “residential quarters.” :

Sirike at Airfields

While the British planes were atiacking Osnabruck, on the main Ruhr - Bremen - Hamburg = railroad

cations centers of all western Germany, smaller forces bombed other towns in northwestern Germany and lighter craft struck at airfields to keep night fighters dewn. Planes also bombed ‘docks at Le} Havre on the occupied French coast. It was the 40th raid of the war on

June 19. ; Radio Behn sald ‘that German bortibers a ‘Newcastle, TLiverpool. ‘ghd Grantham on, Sunday night, starting “numerous fires. » Three of a small force of enemy planes which raided the ‘Midlands and other British areas during the night were destroyed, according to British: reports. Some new phosphorus bombs were among hundreds of incendiary

coast fown, but they fell in a whedtfield—already harvesled-nand did no damage. Incendiaries and explosives were dropped in a south coast residential area. Towns of the northwest and northeast England. coasts “ were

raided by sneak and run planes.

London Newspapers Split In Views on Gandhi’ s Arrest|

LONDON, Aug. 10 (U. P.).—Some

newspapers echoed today Leopold 8. [Amery’s opinion that the arrest of leaders of the All-India congress party “saved India and. the. allied cause from grave disaster,” others condemned ‘the government.

but

Mr. Amery, secretary of state for

India, said ina broadcast last night that the - government and the united ‘kingdom “unwaveringly supported” the seizure of Mohandas K.|in Gandhi, Pandit J. Nehru and their lieutenants.

“It is too early to:speak with any

assurance, but I don’t believe there

is any trouble ‘that can’t; be dealt, Well-informed statements that with -by the Indian: government

through police courts,” he sald. |

‘Stab in the Back’

He charged the success of

Gandhi’s nonco-operation campaign for immediate independence would have been ‘the betrayal of China and India and the enslavement of India, herself, by

the Japanese.

It would have paralyzed “not

only ordinary civilian administration in India, but her whole war effort,” Mr. Amery said. “No worse, stab in the back could} and one of the two chief communi- be devised to all the gallant men— Indian, British, American and Chinese—now engaged on Indian soil in the task of defending India and preparing a base from which to strike the enemy.”

Renews Post-War Pledge He said congress leaders, includ-

ing Gandhi, have been cut off from all communication “with’ those who were to have been the instruments of ‘their wicked folly. 2 »

“When the hour of world victory

comes, then will it be for Indian statesmanship to make the fullest use of the opportunity to which we have pledged ourselves and to which we remain pledged: To devise for India & constitutional framework in which she can live in peace and unity of Loin within her own bor- - ers .and take her ri ul plac bombs “dropped near a southeast|,r ono the free a Dac? monwealth and the world.”

The Manchester Guardian, among

a large section of the press, deplored the action.

“Surely there's wisdom enough in
