no mines were found.”

John Rogge, special assistant to
the U. S. attorney general, de
scribed what he termed a fantas

ed to thwart the re-election of
President Roosevelt in 1940 by
having John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers
<AFL» come out against him.
In an address delivered at

Rogge said “This scheme involved
Hermann Goering, a Nazi agent
by the name of Joachim Hertslet,
and William R. Davis, a promoter
in the oil business.”
In Washington, Lewis declined
to comment on Rogge’s remarks..
Davis, described by Rogge as a
peace emissary for Goering in
September, 1939, died Aug. 1,
1941, after a colorful career.
The justice department official j
added that other attempts were j
made by the Nazis to prevent
Roosevelt’s re-election in 1936 and
