San Francisco, Dec. 9. (U.R) Second Lieut. Cherrill Hannon testified at the sedition trial of "Father" William E. Riker to day that Riker last February asked him to post literature at Moffett field advocating that the United States make peace with the Axis "minus Japan. Lieut. Hannon quoted Riker, religious cult leader at Holy City, Cal., as saying that Hitler has "something on the ball" be cause he did not use negroes In his army; that Hitler's treat ment of Jews "shows under standing of life;" and that "we must make slaves of the negroes and orientals." Subpoena Divine Hannon was the first govern ment witness as the trial opened before Federal District Judge A. F. St. Sure and a Jury of six men and six women. Earlier, at Riker's request, Judge St. Sure issued a subpoena ordering Father Divine, negro religious cult leader, to appear as wit ness. Hannon. said he hitched a ride with Riker February 3. During the ride, he testified, Riker told him he had "already contacted 50 soldiers," and that they "agreed with him" in. prin cipal. Defense Attorney Melvin Belli said Riker had been misquoted in the indictment. "We will show that Riker never made any statement that we should fisht the Japanese only' to the three soldiers named in the indictment. Rather. Riker said, 'we should not fight the German and Italian peonle after we have knocked out Hit ler.' " Urged Support of F. R. Belli said Riker had distri buted posters saying "to hell with Hitler;" that Riker had ad vised his own son, Willis, to Join the coast guard; and that Riker had spent $1,000 for newspaper ads urging support of the president. Riker alleged In an affidavit filed in court that Father Divine was responsible for his arrest. Reasserting his Innocence of the sedition charge, Riker said he was the victim of "criminal libel" published in Father Di vine's "New Day." Riker, head of the Holy. City, Cal., religious community, was charged In a federal indictment with telling at least three U. S. soldiers they had no business fighting Hitler; that Hitler's anti-Jewish crusade was commend able; that America should co operate with Germany and Italy, and wage was only against Japan.

Hansel of St. Louis, Dr. Hansel described the dye before a meeting of the Ameri can Public Health association. The dye is used to stain a sample or nasal discharge which dis closed tiny particles under a microscope. The particles turn blue If they are germs and red if the Irritation is due to allergy. Confusing the two afflictions during treatment may be harm ful. Dr. Hansel said. The dye also Is used in diagnosing sinus infections. He said about 12 per cent of the children who have chronic colds and bronchitis suffer from allergy rather than Infections. Many unnecessary operations for removal of tonsils are perform ed on children because some physicians fail to recognize the presence of an allergy, he said. NATURAL GAS SHORT Washington, Dec. 9.
