SIX GERMANS ELECTROCUTED Sabotage Trial Comes to End White House Announces Sentences After Execu tions In District of Col umbia's Electric Chair; One Informer Gets Life Term, Other 30 Years Washington, Aug. 8. ? Death ty electrocution today snapped short the shadowy careers of six Nazi saboteurs, men who sneak ed ashore from enemy submarines bent upon crippling the Ameri can war effort by fire, '".explosion and terrorism. Two others, adjudged equally guilty by a military commission of seven generals, escaped the death penalty fixed by the law of war for their intended crimes, by tattling i&ri, the rest. At tiara uioor Because they helped the gov ernment prepare its case, they were given prison sentences, one for life, the other for 30 years, both at hard labor. At noon, the first of the agents of destruction to pay with his life was led from "a cell at the District of Columbia jail to its execution chamber. In grim suc cession the five others followed. The six were: Henrich Harm Heinck. Rich ard Quirin, Edward John Ker ling, Herbert Hans Haupt. Wern ner Thiel and Herman Otto Neu bauer. Ernest P. Burger was sen tenced to prison for life, and George John Dasch was given a term of 30 years. Just before 1:30, the White House, several miles away, an nounced that President Roose velt had approved tbe findings and recommendations of the mil itary commission and that the 6 had been executed. The record of tbe case, containing much in formation of an important mili tary nature, it was said, would be sealed until after the war. Got Pair Trial So, nearly two months after tbe arrival of the eight men on American shores. their cases were endetl. They were closed, however, only after exhaustive legal proceedings, undreamed of in the dictator-ridden land from which they came. At one point an appeal for writ of habeas cor pus was taken to the civil courts and the Supreme Court, meeting in a hurriedly summoned special session, upheld the legality and constitutionality of the method of trial which President Roosevelt I had established. The military commission fin ished its work last Sunday. On Monday, the record of the case the sentences imposed and the recommendations (or leniency to Burger and Dasch were placed In the President's hands for review. It became apparent today that he had affirmed the commission's verdict and sentences, and that at the Jail preparations were in progress for the executions. Re porters waiting outside the sol dier-guarded building saw Army chaplains and the District of Co-; lumbia coroner enter. After 11 o'clock all possible lights in the | jail were kept extinguished. L Outside the jail a small crowd , saw Army ambulances enter the jail yard, presumably to remove the bodies. A group of young women, huddled under umbrellas on a nearby roof, could see over tbe wall. On the sidewalk; an elderly grey-haired woman waited for four hours. She told reporters J she had one son in the Army, one In the Navy. When she learned that the men had been executed, she said: "I'm glad. I don't see why they waited, though. Of course this is the United States but they would not have waited all that, time over there." 'Later, the coroner. Dr. A. Ma gruder MacDonald. left the Jail with a military escort, refusing as he hurried on. to say what dis position would be made of the bodies. Brig. General Albert L. Cox. provost marshal for the Dis trict of Columbia, left soon after ward: Reporters attempted to question him. but he placed a linger on his lips, #nd would say only: "All muf." Tbe ambulances, bearing the bodies, left the Jail at mid-after noon bound, apparently for a morgue and burial preparations. A score of soldiers, armed with submachine guns, guarded the prison entrance, holding back a lingering crowd of 100 or more. Inside the walled yard, the bod ies had <been carried to the am bulances on stretcher*, borne by soldiers. Those executed Saturday after noon were Herbert Hans Haupt, 22, whose naturalized parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Max Haupt, live In Chicago; Edward John Kerllng, 33; Heinrlch Harm Helnck, 86; Richard Qulren, 34; Werner Thiel, 31; and Herman Newbauar, St. . ? ^ ? ? fob nan olus printing PHONB SBS-1 Salvage Mater ials Needed Gov. Broughton Says This Is Not "Just Another Campaign It's a Tremen dously Important Effort" "This is not Just another cam paign," Governor Broughton told a radio audience Thursday night ot last week in a broadcast from the Virginia Dare Ballroom of the Hotel Sir Walter where a Wake County salvage meeting was held at 8:3$ p. m., "it is a tremendously fhiportant and ab solutely vital effort if we are to succeed in this war." State-wide salvage meetings were held in various communi ties last night to spur efforts during National Scrap Harvest to collect North Carolina's quota of 175,000 tons of salvage during the next six months. Broughton's address was broadcast to the lo cal meetings through a State wide hookup. "The steel industry of Ameri ca." Governor Broughton stated, "with the cooperation of waste material dealers, generally desig nated junk dealers, is so deeply interested in the success of this endeavor that It has raised two million dollars for a national ad vertising program, advertising the National Scrap Harvest. North Carolina dealers have had a large part in helping to raise this ad vertising fund. "The North Carolina Salvage lor Victory organization, of which N. E. Edgerton, of Ral eigh, is general chairman and James B. Vogler, of Charlotte, is director, already has made an outstanding record In the collec tion and shipping of salvage," the governor continued. "Since the beginning of this program under this leadership, nearly 250 mil lion pounds of scrap materials have been shipped from North Carolina. This material has gone directly to steel industries engag ed in war production. Nearly 1, 400 committees have been set up In the various counties and com munities of North Carolina and all of these have been cooperat ing In bringing about this not able result." The farmers of North Carolina have "made magnificent response to this appeal." Broughton said. "Even before the Salvage for Victory organization was set up in this State, the farmers actively were engaged In gathering scrap m&terial under the leadership of the State Farm Extension service under the leadership of Dean I. O. Schaub and D. S. Weaver of the Farm Extension organiza tion." Since the program began, con tinued the governor, farmers have collected and turned in 86 mil lion pounds of scrap metal. "The farmers are organized tully and resolutely engaged In their efTorts to make the National Scrap Harvest an outstanding success in North Carolina. The farm organizations have been ald -d tremendously In this endaavor through the assistance of the WPA. which has made available pickup trucks in all counties which have requested such ser vice, for the purpose of moving the scrap that has been collect ed." o ?

OUR DEMOCRACY i?m* FROM EVERY MOUNTAIN SIDE, LET FREEDOM RING! j" RAINY-DAY FUND" LIKED BY FARMERS NFLA OFFICIAL SAYS ' Farmers In Franklin County, served by the Franklin National Farm Loan Association, are show ing considerable interest In the Federal Land Bank of Columbia's future payment plan, according to Mr. M. T. Lamm. President of the Association. The future payment fund, commonly known as the "rainy day fund." Mr. Lamm explained, is a plan whereby Federal Land Bank borrowers can make ad vance payments on their loans and receive interest on them i compounded semi-annually at the same rate they pay on their land hank Installments. S "Most farmers are familiar with President Roosevelt'i anti-| inflation program," Mr. Lamm said, "and the future payment' plan was inaugurated to help, promote this program. In my, opinion, this Is the best addition' to the hank's loan repayment ; plan that has been made since It j was organized in 1917." o LEWIS-Gl'PTON Mr. and Mrs. D. T.
