Burger is one of the two sur
viving members of the sabotage

rents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Max
Haupt; his uncle and aunt, Mr.
aud Mrs. Walter Froehling, and
two friends of the family, Mr.
and Mrs. Olto Richard YVergin.

"I am very much encouraged by
the response of government offi
cials and the response ol the peo
ple to the development of air
cargo.
"The war production board,
particularly Donald Nelson, has
cooperated. I've never seen such
wholehearted cooperation from
the army as on air cargo."
Kaiser asserted he felt the
swift development of air cargo
and the speedy building of escort
sea ships to offset the submarine
menace constituted two of the
most important basic needs of
the country.
"I'm satisfied," he said, Hi.'it
within a reasonable time we will
have improvements in' the line
of constructing escort .vessels that
will allow us to build them more
quickly and more simply."
Kaiser added the construction
of a cargo ship in 10 days was
"definitely not a -stunt, nnd.be

by considerable."
In one of his yards, ho added,

Tells of Second Group.
What Burger described as "the
second group," including young
Ilaupl, left Lorient, France, on a
submarine the day before his
group departed and were landed
on the Florida coast.
This group, in addition to
Haupt, consisted of Werner Thiol
and Herman Neubauer, and was
lead by John Koiiing. All four
were executed.
Burger told of the landing of
his group on Long Island and
how they split into pairs. He said
that he and George John Dasch

We'll see to it that there's plenty
of electricity at every switch at the
air field and plenty of power for
the production lines that are pour
ing out airplanes, tanks, guns, sup
plier and ships.
All that takes a lot of electric
power but we're got what it takes!
Wc have far more power than all
the Japanazis fire times as much
as wc had in the last war!
American business management
is producing seven-eighths of that
tremendous flow of power. The
same practical business manage
ment under public regulation that
lias increased electric service and
decreased electric prices so much
that the average American family
today enjoys about twice as much
electricity for the same amount of
money it did only 10 to 15 years ago.
More power lo you, partners!
When this war is won, we'll be
ready again with plenty of power
to help build a better world!
