Expected to air Election For Mayor Nov. 6.

BY RAY GHENT Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, Oct, 20-Only a

last-minute political upheaval can] {

stop William O'Dwyer from succeeding Fiorella H, La Guardia as the next mayor of New York,

Polls show Mr. O'Dwyer, former

brigadier general in World War II, far in the lead as the DemocraticAmerican Labor party, The election will be Nov. 6.

Mr. La Guardia is not running,||

the Republicans having turned a cold shoulder on him early in the maneuvers, But he is by no means on the sidelines. With customary vigor he is backing a late entry, Newbold Morris, Republican president of the City Council, The third principal candidate among the seven in the field is General Sessions Judge Jonah J. Goldstein, nominee of the Repub-lican-Liberal-City Fusion combination. Goldstein May Run Second Prospects are that Judge Goldstein will run second and Mr. Morris third. Injection of national—and sometimes International—issues has so befogged the mayoralty race that the average citizen may be. pardoned if he is confused over whether he is voting for a continuation of the Roosevelt New Deal policies, more relief for Italy or raising the immigration curbs in Palestine, The O'Dwyer forces at the outset made Cov, Thomas E, Dewey a ‘target, charging him with getting the Republicans to espouse Judge Goldstein, an enrolled Democrat, to foster Mr. Dewey's personal ambi-

tions, ‘Pecrying injection of state and national issues as a smokescreen, "the Goldstein camp singled out Tammany and Communist hacking of Mr, O'Dwyer, Mr. O'Dwyer repudiated the Com:

munists’ support but they continued |

FIND WAYS TO

Scientists Solve Problem for U. S. Army.

PASADENA, Cal, Oct. 29 (U. P). —Experiments involving volunteer “human guinea pigs,” including a 112-hour “insomniathon” last July,

|have successfully minimized sleep-

lessness and seasickness of combat troops, the California Institute of Technology disclosed today. Dr. David B. Tyler, professor of physiology who directed the tests, said military censorship still prevented disclosure of the techniques by which scientists were able to keep soldiers awake through long periods of combat. Nationwide attention was focused on the project last July when ‘a dozen drooping conscientious objectors stayed awake for five. consecutive days. They underwent constant physiological, psychological and chemical tests on the effects of fatigue. No After-Effects The experiment was one of a series conducted for three years at the Glendora, Cal, conscientious objector camp, Data gleaned by scientists was turned over to the office of scientific research and development for its secret studies of battle fatigue. “One of the critical military problems was posed by the necessity {for combat troops to stay awake long periods of time,” Dr. Tyler said. “Reactions of the men under such conditions were liable to be dangerous to themselves as well as to entire military operations.” Both Germans and British found stimulant drugs unsatisfactory because the subject got a “hangover,” Tyler said, but techniques developed by the institute staff—and still secret—proved free of aftereffects.

[CHURCHES AIDED

BY NAZI ADMIRAL,

Super-Spy Canaris Put to Death for Espionage.

By CLINTON B. CONGER United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 29, — Adm. Wilhelm Canaris, the missing mystery man of the Ge sécret service, actually led an uNdercover church movement against the Nazis and was executed last April for complicity in the 1944 attempt on Hitler's life, That account of intrigue in the top ranks of Germany's espionage service was revkaled for the first time by reliable informants in Berlin, } It was the first direct word since the war ended on the fate of Canaris, the super-spy who at one time directed Germany’s world-wide network of secret agents. The informants, who are now working on a history of church resistance in Germany for the U. 8S military government, said Canaris placed his espionage service at the

disposal of anti-Nazi church leaders,

Acted As Messengers Unknown to the Nazi authorities, Canaris’ agents acted as couriers

“py JOHN McDERMOTT United Press Sta Correspondent FRANKFURT, Oct. 29.—A beautiful Belgian red haired girl with a photographic memory and a photogenic body has landed in an American military jail here at the ‘end of a sensational -gestapo spy career that makes her the unchallenged Mata Hari of world war II. American count er-intelligence agents who tracked 25-year-old Helene Bogaerts half-way across Europe before they caught her, described her as probably the best woman operative in the Nazi secret service. “She never forgot a face and never let a sucker forget her figure.” said one agent. He described the strawberry blond as Germany's ‘most super-sensitive agent,” a girl with an incredible memory and perfect command of four languages—in none of which she apparently ever said “no” to high-ranking Nazis. Began as Waitress Like Mata Hari, who was a humble dancer in her early days, Helene started life humbly, slinging hash

‘lin a cheap restaurant run by her

mother in a Belgian village near Antwerp. She fell in love with a customer who told her the menus were bigger and better in the big cities, and she moved on with him to Brussels. Once in the big town, Helene wasted no time promoting herself

for the churchmen, traveling to Rome and Stockholm with secret, | members for the Vatican and the! Church of England, particularly the English Bishop of Chichester. | Canaris already had been dismissed as head of the German counter-intelligence service when the abortive Junkers revolt came into the open on July 20, 1944, the day Hitler narrowly escaped death in a bomb explosion at his headquarters. Public Didn't Know He was not arrested, however, until after the conspiracy had been smashed andsthe chief plotters had been arrested or killed, His part in the assassination plot never was disclosed to the German public. It was not generally known that he was hanged on April 9, 1945, less than a month before V-E

with the German soldiery. She moved up quickly from sergeants to Nazi brass hats and then, according to American investigators, got herself a job in the German field poice, By this time, Helene had gone as far as mere brains could take a woman in the Gestapo, so she reverted to femininity, Her non-men-tal qualifications soon won her high place as the mistress of Hauptmann Wiederroth, chief of the Nazi secret polite in Belgium. Nearly Got Shot Here Helene made one of her few mistakes. She began dallying on the side with a handsome Belgian lad who turned out to be a member of the underground. Her gestapo “protector” was furious when he found it out and came very’ close to ordering her shot. That incident closely paral-

MONDAY, OCT. 2, 1948 Beautiful Belgian Redhead Is Mata Hari of This War

Mata Hari. The Dutch dancing girl who worked for the Germans in world war I was said to have saved her life on one occasion by shedding her clothes just as =a firing squad was ‘about to execute er. Helene didn't have to go quite that far. Her charms were obvious and the gestapo decided agains$ eliminating so valuable ap asset. So she got another chance, and when next heard from Helene was the mistress of Kurt Meyer, gestapo chief of Brussels. Meyer later was replaced by the sinister Werner Kleemer, a nazi specialist in kid napping. Helene switched jobs and affections with ease. Now Helps Americans When the German armies fell back across the Rhine, Kleemer, who had been transferred to Coe logne, shifted his headquarters to Mulheim. He sent Helene and three other women agents back across the Rhine in a small boat to gather

lines. The boat capsized, drowning all but the indestructible Helene. She was captured and ™urned over to American counter-intelligence offie cers who questioned her for 18 hours before she broke down and confessed she was the woman ageng they had been trailing for months, Now, the American agents say, her astounding memory is proving highly valuable to the allied cause, She was reported unofficially to have given the Americans much information on the inner workings of the gestapo. Her story for the moment is tha she worked for the gestapo only to help the allies. Nevertheless, she is being held for a trial that will decide whether Helene, like the first Mata Harl, will end her career before a firing squad.
