Forty-five to Frisco? German
Spy Ring Flayed
(/1w Editorial)
' "... and sudden death!” or "forty-five to Frisco?” College students have become cynical ln regard to student newspaper campaigns to reduce auto accidents while collegians are en route to a game. In spite of the gory accident pictures spread over the front page and the annual reprint of J. C. Furnas’ bloody “ . . . and sudden death!" editorial, the mounting toll of accidents has increased. Realizing that scaring students into driving safely Is an impossibility, the Daily Trojan is presenting a logical, safe plan for students driving up to Stanford this weekend.
Naturally, the Daily Trojan “forty-five to Frisco” plan will not overcome the advantages of travel by train, but lt will make the drive North less dangerous for those who cannot afford railroad fare.
The Trojan plan is essentially this: Students planning to drive to the game Friday will organize a caravan, with an escort furnished by the state department of motor vehicles, will leave at a stipulated time and will proceed at a steady speed to Palo Alto. Regular stops for change of drivers and refreshment will be scheduled in advance.
Such a plan offers definite advantages:
First, with a police escort, the caravan can travel safely and steadily at 45 miles per hour and make better time than an individual "up-to-seventy-down-to-twenty” car.
Second, a caravan has a certain unity and prestige that is not possible when autos travel separately.
Third, steady speed and the ability of police sirens to clear the highway will cut down the possibility of accident.
The department of motor vehicles has already Indicated that It is in favor of the plan because of the aspect of safety. Administration officials have manifested a willingness to cooperate. The Trojan Knights, through their president, have

U.S. Attorney Says Nasi Intelligence Scope Is 'Amaaing'
BULLETIN CRISTOBAL. C. Z.. Oct 17— (U.R>—Four Germans, one of them a woman, today were ordered held for trial on charge* of spying on U. S. coastal defenses in the Panama canal ione.
They were arrested yesterday by a sentry who allegedly surprised them taking photographs in the Galeta island area, a key to the Fort Randolph defense*. Their cameras were confiscated.
NEW YORK. Oct. 17 — <UP>— United State* Attorney Lamar Hardy. bluntly disregarding diplomatic formalities, today charged the “far-seeing eye of German military intelligence" with having concocted the most amazing espionage plot j in this country since the World war. As a woman and two men went on trial in federal court, charged with conspiring to steal war secrets of the American army and navy, Hardy made these assertions: That members of the spy ring, directed by Berlin intelligence chiefs, sought to steal blueprints of certain American warships now under construction.
SIGNATURE FORGERY PLANNED That a plan was hatched to forge President Roosevelt's signature to a note written on counterfeit white house stationesjr. to obtain information from the navy department.
That mall pouches on trans-Atlantic German liners were rifled for documents of international importance.
Hardy told the federal Jury that the German espionage agents "penetrated to the drafting boards of the military and naval designers, to i the aircraft builders and to the construction of our various armament*.”
THREE INDICTED
The trial opened with only three of the 18 persons Indicted ln the gigantic espionage ring facing the jury. They were Johanna Hoffman, 26-year-old hairdresser aboard the German liner Europa; Erich Glaser. 28, a former private In the army air corps, and Otto Hermann Voss. 36. an aviation mechanic at a Long Island airplane factory.
The fourth person taken ln custody after the indictments were returned was Gustave Rumrlch. a former American army sergeant who deserted in the Canal Zone. He since has pleaded guilty and today was a government witness.
Hardy outlined 24 specific acts of espionage which he said were committed by members of the ring, whose ramifications allegedly extended to the higher councils of the German war office.
