If Tracks Idle One of the copnty's larger truck- Ing concerns, which in the past has moved thousands of tons of potatoes to New York City every year, 'has 30 big trucks laid up because theyj can't get drivers," McCullom said. The trucks are huge six and eight- wheeled vebicles, some of which haul immense trailers.

"The railroad can't help us out much because it has few, If any. re- frigerator he asserted. "The trucks have done most of the haul-; ing in the past and the railroad hasn't needed the refrigerators Now we need them, and the Long Island hasn't got them and cant get! them Many poultry dealers, it was said. are selling off their and chickens before they reach normal fryer site to cut down on feed re- quiremenls.

For this Lehmitz gave him $100. He was fully aware, he said, of the purposes for which Lehmits made use of his information. Met at Secluded Spots DeSpretter began working for Lehmita in 1941 and the two had many meetings in Silver Lake Park, Staten Island, and other secluded spots, where they solemnly agreed to a pact that each would refrain from ever identifying the other or to try to find out the identity of the other Nazi spies in this area.
