Show PAGE : SIX: Dsath Gives FBI Tip On Spy Ding NEW YORK, Feb. 7 am Only oy cnance was the federal bureau of investigation put on the trail , of seven persons now being:, tried on a charge of spying for Germany, Ger-many, it .-was revealed today. ... - Kurt Frederick Ludwig, brains of the alleged spy ring, and Ulrich Von Der Osten. a captain in the German - military intelligence, stepped off the sidewalk in Times Squares - last March 18. - - A taxi careened and killed Von Der Osten. Ludwig,; with scarcely a glance at his fallen companion, picked up his. brief case and fled. Up to that moment, the FBI had ho idea that a dangerous Nazi agent was operating in the United Unit-ed States. Where the trail led from there was told at the trial of the seven late yesterday by FBI Agent Gordon Gor-don Grantham. Von Der Osten flew to this country from Shanghai, using a Spanish passport issued to "Julio Lopez Lido." He came, it was charged, to deliver instructions to Ludwig. Police routinely searched the dead Von Der Osten's belongings in one of New York's best hotels. His reading matter looked strange for an innocent Spanish traveler. They called in the FBI. What most aroused suspicion, was a copy of Harper's magazine for last March, containing an article. ar-ticle. 'Bombers to Britain," by James L. H. Peck, a bomber ferry pilot. The important parts of the article the types of bombers flown, the routes used and the speeds they . made had been underscored. He also had a copy of Fortune magazine largely concerned with aviation;- "Winged Warfare," by Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnold and Lieut. Ira C. Eaker, and a map of Oahu island, on which Pearl Harbor is located. By watching those who arranged ar-ranged Von Der Osten's funeral and telephoned the Hospital, the FBI got on the trail of his associates as-sociates who were watched and later arrested.

The editors voted as the outstanding out-standing single program of 1941 President Roosevelt's declaration of war speech on Dec. 8. By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 Over 20 years ago, Great Britain and Australia were warned, by 'an authoritative voice, that Australia was a comparatively "empty con tinent" and that if the authori ties did not see to it that a big ger white population was secured, secur-ed, some day the Japs would seize the opportunity to "fill the vacuum." vac-uum." Today, the Japs are bent on making that warning a true prophecy. The warning voice belonged to the late Lord Northcliffe, one of the greatest newspaper geniuses Britain ever produced. His words,-spoken words,-spoken in 1921, are recalled now by many in. the State Department here and the Foreign and Dominions Domin-ions Offices in London, listening to urgent appeals from Australia to President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill for quick military mili-tary aid against the threat of Jap invasion. ARID AREA IS EMPTY What he meant was quite clear to anybody who had ever studied Australia. It is a continental expanse- nearly as big as the continental con-tinental United States. The vast interior is unfit for habitation, because it is mainly desert. What is not desert, cannot tej irrigated because of the absence of rain- Cranium Answers Questions on Page Four -1.

Some federal cases can be appealed only to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The best parts of the country and those most developed and inhabited in-habited fringe the seashore on the eastern, southeastern, southern south-ern and part of the western coasts. With the desert character of so much of the area, , it will never be possible for Australia to have a population approaching that of the United States, but it could probably support three or four times its present population popula-tion of 7,000,000, nearly all of which lives in the various capital cities. Australia's vast distance from Great Britain and Europe has, of course, been partly the cause why immigrants did not flow to it as they did to the United States and Canada. But the main thing has been Australia's own policy on the subject. Pn the first place, it was determined deter-mined that Australia should be a white man's country. So Asiatics were barred. In the next place, efforts were . made to have the population as much as possible composed of British stocks. Not only the conservative parties but the powerful Labor party also was for this. While these policies kept the population almost entirely en-tirely British, they also kept it small. For a country of only 7,000,000 people, the Australians have done wonders. Their land 'is the great est wool grower in the world. Its exports of mutton and are thanks to a protective tariff, home industries have grown. Within the past five years Australia Aus-tralia has made big strides in factories that can supply the country coun-try with war munitions. Its soldiers made 'a great reputation as fighters in the last World War, and duplicated it Jn the current conflict. FIGHTINO AUSSIES ARE SCATTERED Tne trouble is that Australia's valiant fighters are so widely scattered. Some are now taking part in the .battle to protect Singapore. Others are in Iran and Irak, still others are in Libya, Egypt and Palestine. Australia, with its 7,000,000 is facing a real danger from Japan with its more than 70,000,000. It is the vacuum which Northcliffe 20 years ago predicted the Japs would try to fill. Japs based on islands fairly close to the island continent, can bombard all -Australia's big cities from the air, as they all lie close to the seashore. The nations needs tanks, antiaircraft anti-aircraft guns, bombers and fighter fight-er planes and men. For there is a limit to what a country of 7,000,000 can do.
