The Justice department an

Friedrich Bahr, 29, an American
citizen, had been seized by FBI
agents on charges of violating
the espionage laws.
"Bahr's espionage activities,"
the department said in a state
ment, "were brought to light as
a result of the investigation of
the Federal Bureau of -Investigation
of passengers arriving in
this country on the steamship
Drottningholm on June 30."
Passengers Qulised
The nearly 1,000 persons
aboard that ship were detained
after its arrival pending ques
Honing of each passenger by fed
eral agents. Attorney General
Biddle said at the time that
such an inquiry was necessary
"in the interest of national se
curity." A justice department official
said Bahr was aboard the Drott
ningholm when it docked.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
issued this statement:
"Bahr was born in Klosper
felde, Germany, August 27,
1913. He came to the United
States wit;h his family in 1928,
taking up residence at Buffalo
(New York). He returned to

as an American exchange
student to study at the Tech
nische Hochschule at Hanover,
Germany, from which he re
ceived the degree of Dlplome
Auf Ingenieur,
Enlisted By Oestapo
"During the period following
his arrival in Germany he at
tended school and worked in
varioua plants. Bahr admitted
that he was enlisted In October
of 1941 by the German Gestapo
for the purpose. of returning to
the United States to secure and
transmit to Germany informa
tion pertaining to the war effort
of this country.
"Bahr was instructed in the
art of carrying on espionage as
well as methods of writing with
secret ink and was furnished
with cover addresses in Spain,
Switzerland and South America,
to be used by him for the pur
pose of transmitting Information
pertaining to the war effort In
this country, in messages pre
pared with secret ink on the
backs of Innocent appearing
communications, to be mailed
to these addresses.
"Bahr was furnished approxi
mately $7,000 by the German
espionage service which was to
be used by him in the securing
of military and production in
formation after his arrival here
as well as for the purpose of
bribery and the loosening of
tongues.
Fine Student
"From the time of his arrival
In 1928 until his departure in
1938, Bahr lived with his fam
ily in Buffalo. He attended the
Buffalo Technical high school
from January, 1932, to June,
1934, attaining outstanding
scholastic and athletic honors.
He claims to have received the
Dartmouth alumni award for
leadership, character and
achievement. He claims he was
awarded a free tuition scholar
ship at the Rensselaer Polytech
nlcal institute at Troy, N. Y.,
and a scholarship amounting to
$200 cash each year for four
years.

DEFERMENT PLEA.
SHOULD BE FILED
PRECEDING CALL
A spokesman for the selective
service boards of Jackson county
stated today that requests for
occupational deferments by em
ployers will not be considered
after a registrant has received
his call for Induction. He ex
plained that employers should
Insist that employees Inform
them immediately upon being
classified in class 1 or 1-A, or
better yet as soon as the regis
trant receives his questionnaire.
"From the time a registrant
receives his classification as 1-A,
a 10-day period Is granted for
the registrant to appeal or the
employer to request a defer
ment, the spokesman pointed
out. "However, tljls does not
apply in any manner to a reg
istrant of the fourth registrar
tion which Includes men from
45 to 65. It Is emphasized that
not all occupations are defer
able and that requests for defer
ment in those occupations that
are deferable should be made
for key men only. This infor
matlon is being passed on to the
employers because some re-
quests for occupational defer
ments have been received after
the registrant has received his
call for induction."

"Upon his arrival In Germany
In October, 1938, Bahr states he
