|U. S. Airman Says
“I Believe In
Communism”
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Ger
many, (>P)—Two U.S. army agents
testified today that a 19-year-old
American airman told them he
volunteered to supply secret mili
tary information to Russia be
cause “I believe in Communism.”
The said Cpl. Gustav Adolph
Mueller of St. Paul, Minn., then
gave them secret U. S. intelligence
documents while they posed as
agents of the Soviet Union.
Mueller is on trial before a U.
S. Air Force court martial on
charges of attempting to deliver
classified information involving
U. S. natiinal defense to a foreign
nation. He pleaded innocent at

ing.
Conviction on the charge in

' state of war has not yet ended.
One of the agents said Mueller,
son of a Swiss farmer and British
mother, told them at a meeting
they had arranged with him:
“I have been looking for a con
i tact for a long time. My father
fought in the communist revolu
j tion on the side of Lenin. From
my earliest youth I have been in
' terested in communist doctrine
and I believe in communism. It is
the only right way.”
I Mueller, member of an air force
' intelligence squadron, was study
ing at the intelligence school in
