Nazis Planned To
Kill Royalty On
U. S. Visit
WASHINGTON, (^)—The FBI
says a Nazi diplomat and a Ger
man American Bund member had
a plan for assassinating King
George and Queen Elizabeth of
England when they visited Amer
ica in 1939.
An FBI official told newsmen
the pair were Fritz Weidemann,
German consul general at San
Francisco, and Herman Schwinn,
Los Angeles bund leader who later
was deported as a dangerous alien.
The official added the plan to
kill the visiting rulers was dis
cussed at a meeting in San Fran
cisco, but that no attempt ever
was made to carry it out.
The San Francisco Call-Bulletin
said in a copyrighted story the
FBI learned of the plot in May,
1939, and “one of the greatest pro
tective nets ever assembled in
modern times was immediately
thrown about the King and Queen
on their trip to Canada and later
to Hyde Park, N. Y., where they i
were guests of President and Mrs. |
Roosevelt.
The FBI, in its disclosure last
night did not say how it learned
of the plan, nor how the killings
were to have been accomplished.
Widemann was last reported in
Nuernberg, Germany, where he
was flown last year after his ar
rest in Tientsin, China.

Suggest Alaska
Newsprint Industry
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Develop
ment of a newsprint industry in
Alaska was suggested to the Sen
ate small business committee to
day as aids to newspaper and pe
riodical publishing.
A proposal for “inexpensive air
mail facilities” fer delivering
newspapers on an experimental
basis came from B. J. Ridder,
publisher of the Journal of Com
merce, New York.
The suggestion of Alaska as a
newsprint source was by John S.
Knight, president of Knight news
papers, Inc., who also said that
the “publishing industry should
find a way to de-ink old newspa
pers and use them over again, as
the world supply of newsprint can
never fill the demand.”
