‘Nazi Bodies Sti

Another Asks Dela War. .

WASHINGTON, April 17 (U. PJ. ~The biggest sedition trial of this war began today on a note of mystery when Edward James Smythe of New York, one of the 30 defendants, failed to appear and his.attorney said he knew nothing of his whereabouts.

Justice Edward C. Eicher he had difficulty. in communicating with Smythe because “his address is just a box number in New York” and’ that the last word he heard from his client was that he expected to be here for the trial on April 24— next Monday. . ; “I had some inf tion Saturday that he had been picked up by the F. B. I: last Friday,” he added, “and I think Mr. Rogge might know something about that.”

Courtroom Jammed

But O. John Rogge, government prosecutor, heatedly denied knowing anything of Smythe's whereabouts and moved that his $1000 bond be revoked. There was no immediate action on his motion. Otherwise, the trial got under way as expected. The jammed courtroom—almost too small to hold all the defendants and their attorneys —tittered audibly when Lois L. de Lafayette Washburn of Chicago and Tacoma, Wash., answered to her name by standing up and shouting: “Lafayette, we are "here—to defend what you gave us, our freedom from tyranny!” . Then she sat down, looking quite satisfied. One of two women defendants, Mrs, Wash wore a yellow pancake hat with a bunch of violets over her right ear and another over her left eyebrow.

Enters Jauntily

The second female defendant— Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling of Chicago— wore a brown suit and hat with a chartreuse jabot. A coat thrown over her shoulder, she walked jauntily down the aisle, followed by the husband she recently divorced— Albert W. Dilling, who came here to assist her defense. Eicher dismissed several motions

for a stay of proceedings from

counsel, as well as a petition offered by Henry Klein, attorney for Eugene Sanctuary of New York, to postpone the trial until after the war. Klein said he wanted to call as witnesses President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Cordell. Hull and Attorney General Francis Biddle but did not “want to interfere with the war effort.” Justice department officials declined to discuss Smythe's absence. It was learned, however, that no general search for him had yet been started, and would not be unless Rogge requested it. “The trial, climaxing thrée years of investigation, was expected to

| continue for at least three months.

Othets on Trial

The other defendants in the trial are William Dudley Pelley, Noblesville, Ind.; Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, New York City; Garland L. Alderman, Detroit; David Baxter, San Bernardino, Cal.; Howard V.

room and Dr. Claude D. Greene, Spencer, said death followed a heart attack.

Survivors, besides his wife, are a daughter, Dr. Jeanette Baker, Fergus Falls, Minn.;. a son, Ralph W. Lieber, Indianapolis, and seven grandchildren. ” Mr, Lieber developed Indiana's park system and gained national recognition as a champion of conservation during his term as director of the state conservation department from 1919, when it was created, until 1933. He was a nature lover and sportsman and had traveled throughout the United States, Europe, Egypt, Canada and Mexico. He was the author of the book, “America’s Natural Wealth,” which expressed the need for conservation. He was also a connoisseur ‘of art, a lover of good music and student of history. Born in 1869 in St. Johann-Saar-bruecken, Germany, Mr. Lieber came to the United States in 1891. He had intended to visit a year, but soon decided to make his home here and went to work in an Indianapolis hardware store. Music Critic Here

Later he was music and art critic for the old Indianapolis Journal and Indiana Tribune for eight years. In 1981 he became a naturalized citizen, and his interest in his adopted country never abated. Already interested in conservation, he attended a conference of governors called by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. In 1912 he was named chairman of the local board of governors for the fourth national conservation congress, and in 1915 became chairman: of the Indiana state park committee, In 1917 Governor James Putnam Goodrich appointed him military secretary with the rank of colonel and secretary of the state board of forestry. As chairman of the state park committee, a citizens group, Mr. Lieber campaigned for conservation in Indiana and in 1916 the sites for McCormick's Creek Canyon and Turkey Run state parks were acquired.

The state legislature in 1919 created the state department of con-

ments to be made as soon as materials are available and construction can start. These homes, ranging from a $2200 cottage to a $60,000 mansion, have been shown in 43 cities, and quarter-scale models of them, completely furnished, have been installed in Macy's huge store here and in a number of other stores elsewhere as permanent displays. The company reports greatest interest in homes in the $3500-t0-$7500 price bracket.

The stores act as sales agents. Down payments are saved through own-your-own home clubs by weekly or monthly deposits of cash or war bonds in local banks or building and loan companies. Those who open accounts acquire immediate places on a priority list, but are at liberty to withdraw their down-payment money at any time before they sign contracts for actual construction when wartime restrictions on building are lifted. : They'll select their own home sites, and the building will be done by local contractors, an insurance policy protecting the customer and the store against defective materials or workmanship.

Variety of ‘Plans

The Homasote Co. says its “precision-built” system differs from ordinary prefabrication in permitting an unlimited variety of plans and. architectural detail. Sectionalized panels are built to fit any design in regional fabricating plants franchised by the Trenton company, then trucked to the building sites and assem ba : pany spokesmen say a come’ home can be ready for occupancy in six to 30 days after it is ordered, the time depending on size; can be demounted and reassembled elsewhere if the family decides to move.

servation, and Mr. Lieber was named director. He resigned in 1933. Associated with Stephen T. Mather, director of national parks, in organizing the National Conference on State Parks, Mr. Lieber was conference president from 1932 to 1939, when he became chairman of the conference board. During his 14 years as conservation director, Indiana’s conservation area grew from 2766 acres to 47,243 acres. The 1919 area included two state forests and -three fish hatcheries. By 1933 the department was administering three state forests, five fish Hatcheries, three bird and game sanctuaries, two pheasantries, 10 state parks and five historic and one natural monuments, In 1932, under the sponsorship of 21 historic, educational, religious, civic and military organizations, a bronze bust of Mr. Lieber was un-’ veiled at Turkey Run state park.

Wins Pugsley Medal

The Pugsiey gold medal of the American Scenic and c Preservation society was bestowed on him in 1933, and in 1937 the Chicago Regional Planning assoclation presented him with an illuminated scroll citing his contributions. He received an honorary doctor of science degree from Wabash college in 1938. Mr, and Mrs. Lieber spent their summers at their home, Whip-poor-will lodge in Brown county.

All 10 were able to keep together for a week despite many narrow escapes but .at the last moment, while Danes were leading them to

Germans and had to make a frantic run, tearing their clothes into shreds on brambled underbrush. Six never showed up. The American escapees from Zealand took a bad pounding from Focke-Wulfs and Messerschmitts all across the Baltic to their targets at Stettin, over their targets, and on the way out. One by one they saw every other Fortress in the “box” of eight bombers fall from fighter attacks or flak. One Fort was hit directly by a rocket shell, fired from the ground. “All we could see left was part of one engine flying’ through the sky,” one man said.

Live Battle Again

Sitting about here, over platters of good Swedish food, milk, fruit and schnapps, they lived over every minute of that terrible battle last Tuesday. They recalled how the flak struck the bomb bay hardly an instant after the bombs cleared and how the engineer moved from his post to take over the wounded co-pilot’s job just as a 20-mm. shell exploded in the spot he had left. They remembered how the pilot's helmet was grazed by a shell, and how spmehow they managed to keep the plane aloft on one engine and out of the Baltic long enough to ‘belly-land in Denmark. “That landing in Denmark was really coming in on a wing and a prayer—only we had more prayer than wing,” related the ballturret gunner, pausing to gaze out of the ‘window at the lights of Stockholm and drawing a long contented breath. “We had smashed our bombsight and other secret instruments, destroyed papers and thrown out our ammunition over, the Baltic somewhere after we had decided to stick to the plahe and ride her down. We hoped we were heading for Sweden but couldn't tell because the compass was damaged.

“We thought that maybe we would land in the sea and got ready for {a shower spray in our faces. In|stead, we got a shower of dirt. “Before the Fort plowed in on her belly our pilot did something everybody always said the B-17 couldnt do: He banked her at stalling speed into a 120-degree turn only 50 feet off the ground. We crashed into a .telephone pole, breaking the wires, but we got down.” A couple of Danes, who had reached the plane as the men scrambled out, hastily explained in German to the one German-speak-ing crew member that this was Denmark, not Sweden.
