San Francisco
German Consul
Linked to Plot
Washington, Nov. 21 UP) The Dies
committee's "white paper," made
public today, links the German con
sulate at San Francisco with activ
ities In this country of the German
news agency "Transocean news ser
vice." (Not affiliated with any Unit
ed States news service.)
Letters exchanged between the
consulate and Manfred Zapp, head
of the service, were cited by the
committee paper In substantiation
of a conclusion that Transocean's
affairs were closely tied with those
of Germany's officially accredited
representatives.
One communication, dated July
13, 1939, and addressed to Trans-
ocean news service In New York "by
authority of Loper," requested in
formation as to the manner In
which the consulate was to balance
on Its books the cost of sending the
service to certain California clients.
"It will be noted," the Dies paper
stated, "that Transocean news ser
vice, according to this communica
tion, dealt directly with the consul
ates rather than with the client who
was furnished with the news ser
vice."
The July 13 letter asked: "How
much will the cost of the California
democrat Bnd the German-Ameri
can Chamber of Commerce publica
tions come to?" It added that "the
first publication will be paid for
from here."
Zapp, described by the committee
as having been sent here In later
1938 for the purpose of "Increasing
the scope of Transocean news' ef
fectiveness," was reported to have
replied on August 30 as follows;
1 hereby Inform you once again
that the expense of supplying the
consulates lies upon the consulates
by agreement with the German
charge Herr Dr. Thomsen. Conse
quently, I must send you a bill of
,04 for the month of June and
$4.72 for the month of July. Should
the expenses of supplying Trans
ocean news to the 'California demo
kraf be borne by you I will send the
California Demokrat' the Trans
ocean news for the same net price
I send it to you Just as is the
case with the German-American
Chamber of Commerce."

Shipwrecked
Sai or Rescued
On Barren Isle
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Nov. 31 UP)
An American seaman rescued from
a barren island was released today
after being questioned about his ex
periences by agents of the federal
bureau of Investigation. The reason
for the questioning was not dlscloS'
ed.
Brought here by .the coast guard
outter Unalga after nearly dying of
thirst on Desecheo Island, wlulam
P. O'Brien of St. Louis, Mo., said
he was shipwrecked with Clifford
Russel, another seaman, of Louis.
vtlle, Ky. Having lost track of
time, O'Brien did not know who
ther he was on the Island 11 or 14
days.
The two Americans and a young
Puerto Rlcan set out from Maya
guez. Puerto Rico, for St. Thomas,
Virgin Islands, In an 18-foot boat
with a single sail. They hoped to
find work In St. Thomas, OBrlen
said.
During a storm at night, the boat
cracked up. The Puerto Rlcan pre'
sumably drowned, but the two Am
erlcans reached shore. For a week
they roamed the rocky Island,
drinking rain water In rock crevices
and eating birds and berries.
"He wouldn't let me He down and
quit," O'Brien said of Russell. "He
kept saying he was sure there was
water on Desecheo. He was one
swell, clean guy."
Two days after Russell drowned
a U. S. army patrol plane sighted
O'Brien's distress signal "S.OB:
spelled out In rocks on the sand
and dropped a steel bottle of water
and some food to him. Two days
later on Tuesday, the Unalga ar
rived.
"That Jug of water was the best
thing I ever tasted, O'Brien
claimed. "I don't think I'll ever
see anyone water a lawn or a sailor
scrub a deck without thinking how
thirsty I was."
Once a bird sanctuary, Desecheo
now Is a heavy gunnery target for
the U. S. army, but not yet in use.

that It also contemplates thorough

Explains Cause
Bridge Collapse
San Francisco, Nov. 31 UP) Holes
punched In the bridge girders or de
fection vanes to the windward could
have averted collapse of the Tacoma
narrows bridge, In the opinion of
Nathan A. Bowers, Pacific coast edi
tor of the Engineering News Record
He told a group of engineers here
yesterday that there was no weak
ness In construction or design In the
bridge, but that the collapse was
caused by "aerodynamic Instability.'
Wind tunnel experiments at the
University of Washington already
had developed means of remedying
the fluttering floor of the bridge
wnen tne crash came, he said, and
these were not made In vain, because
they can be used If such a condition
should occur In any other span. '
At the time of the collapse, he
said, engineers were debating whe
ther it would be better to punch two
rows of holes In the longitudlnalrid
ers to reduce the surface resistant
to the wind, or to build defective
vales a few feet to windward of the
girders, at a cost of only $316,000.

Kansas Count
Topeka, Kans., Nov. 31 (JPj Gov,
Payne Ratner, republican who pro
claimed November 28, Thanksgiving
day In Kansas, will celebrate oh
President Roosevelt; day of Thanks
giving after all.
- He finally had regained the lead,
although only by 53 votes, In hi
contest ,or re-election over William
H. Burke, democratic, banker from
Little River.
Otlltlai letarmt, sttu tacemTfltt
16 daya after the election, gava
Ratner 426,313 and Burke 425,160.
Still to be counted by the states
canvassing board are absentee votes,
cast outside the state, for 18 of
Kansas' 105 counties.
Ratner. owes his hopes of victory
In this amazing election Wendell
WUlkle carried the state by 130,000
votes to a law he sponsored
through., the legislature 11 yean
ago.
The law permits Kansans out of
the state on election day to east ab.
sentee ballots. Previously, only fed
eral employes and persons In th
military service could so vote. It
1 these out-of-state absentee bal
lots 7100 of them which ar be
ing tallied now and -which- have
switched the lead from, 1800 for
Burke to 53 for Ratner.
Th tight contest lias led to
mandamus action by Burke's back
ers. They asked the state supreme
court to compel the canvasser to
permit his representatives to see af
fidavits detached from the out-of-state
votes. They contended they
could challenge mors than a thou
sand ballots. -The court asked both
sides to submit briefs this week
end. '.-
Ratner will eat turkey today, in
conditional celebration of victory.
But he still may eat crow on hi
own Thanksgiving day, for by that
time all the votes will have been
counted and Burke Isn't conceding
defeat. Too, Jerry Drlscoll, Burke'
attorney, said he may file a second
mandamus action asking that th
board be ordered to throw out sev
eral hundred ballots which he de
clares were marked Illegally.
Social Security ?
Aim ofBevin
London, Nov. 31 OP) Ernest Ba
vin, the new minister of labor, told
gathering of London Rotarlan
Wednesday that his war aim waa
social security.
In the first public declaration by
a cabinet minister of this aspect of
the war's objectives, the labor party
chieftain asserted that at th end
of the 'War, "and Indeed during It."
social security should be "the main
motive of our natural life." '
Called by his laborlte' admirer
"the next prim minister, Bevln
said: '-' ' ' ' '
"Begin now. That doesnt mean
that all profit and surpluses must
be wiped out, but It means that th
whole economic life should b de
voted to giving security, not to th
small middle class, but to th com
munity as a whole." . .
Bevln blamed as on of th main
contributing factors to th war th
failure, after the last conflict, to
erect an economic structure based
on humanity, . ' .. "
He told the story of on British
public employment office where th
largest room was devoted to paying
out of the dole and the smallest to
the finding' of Jobs.
That, he said, or public education
must stop.
It Is better to leave th masse
untaught than to give them dou
ble appetite, both of stomach and
head, and then not to satisfy ei
ther, he asserted.
Moreover, said Bevln, It Is no us
for Britain to speak to the million
In Europe and elsewhere '.In th
terms of "Gladstone liberty." They
must, he declared, be given new
feeling of hope,
"Things can never be - as they
were," he said. "The old age has
passed. A new age has to be built.'
