bi) Offer From Nazis To Simon, Defense Says. By WALTER CRONKITE United Press Stall Correspondent NUERNBERG, March 25.~—Rudolph Hess delivered a four-point peace “intention” from Adolf Hitler to the British government when he " parachuted into. Scotland in May, 1041, his defense attorney told the war crimes tribunal today. Attorney Rudolph Seidl said that Hess talked to Viscount Simon, then Jord chancellor, and Ivone Kirkpat~ rick of the foreign office shortly after he landed and gave them the grounds on which Hitler would make peace. They were: ONE: A definition of spheres of | influence, giving Europe to the axis and letting Britain retain her em-

PO: Return of the German colonies taken from her after the first world war. THREE: Mutual indemnification of German and British nationals in each other's territory. FOUR: Simultaneous peace with Italy. Hess Nudges Goering Hess was agitated and vigorously nudged Hermann Goering in the defendants’ box while Seidl read a few paragraphs from minutes of the meeting. Seidl attempted to introduce an affidavit from Dr. M. Frederick Gaus, former head of the German foreign office legal department, regarding what was described as a

LIKE ICE CREAM? SHORTAGE SEEN

The Hoosier hunger for ice cream will go unsatisfied this year, C. C, Hadley, executive secretary of Indiana Dairy Products association, Inc., predicted today, He based his forecast on the cur~ rent shortage of butterfat -and sugar. Last year, he revealed, Indiana firms produced 13,635,000 gallons of the delicacy or 5.2 per cent more than was manufactured in 1944.

WASHINGTON, March 25 (U. P.). —Congressional leaders were. frankly bewildered today by charges that a “full-fledged Soviet agent” had been discovered on the payroll of a congressional committee.

The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, a member of Catholic university faculty, made the charge yesterday in a speech in New York. He identified neither the employee nor the committee. - But he sald he believed the man gave Chicago as his permanent address. House and senate members said they were puzzled as to whom Msgr. Sheen was referring. They hoped that either Msgr, Sheen would amplify his charges or that the committee involved would come forward and make a full disclosure of the facts. Msgr. Sheen said the man had been “picked up” in a closed session of the committee last week. Asked whether the employee was now in custody, he answered, “I

Sheen's’ charge “should” serve as a reminder © to government officials both in the executive and legislative branches that, in times like these, they must be-ever vigilant.” He said, however, that he doubted if his committee would take any action on the charge—at least for awhile.

“I think it's up to the committee involved to come forward and make a full disclosure of the case,” he said. He said-it ‘would not be “proper for the unAmerican activities. committee to interfere in the affairs of another committee.” Some house members suggested Msgr. Sheen may have been confused by the fact that an employee of a prominent house committee was recently charged with being in league with left-wing circles.” The committée involved was’ upset by the charge and called sev-

The subcommittee was particularly concerned about an article, described as derogatory to the full military committee, which the employee was accused of having had inserted in the Congressional Record. The employee, who has worked on Capitol Hill since 1941, said the incident occurred. “about three weeks ago.” He sald he was born in Kansas and that his legal residence was Texas, not Chicago.
