Smith said today that South Carolina would start off its new fis cal year tomorrow with about $3,500,- 000 in its coffers, revious estimates had indicated a surplus of about $2,- 700,000. Available figures tonight showed, in addition to the money in the state’s general and school funds, that revenue for the fiscal year ending today would be approximately $40,- 000,000 from all forms of taxes. Smith said the figure would set an all-time high. During each month receipts have exceeded receipts for the s ame month of the previous year. Collections for the first eleven months, through May 31, totaleu ^37,012,000, compared with $32,235,- 000 for the preceding twelve months.

RITZ ^THURSDAY, FRIDAY Brian Donlevy, William Holden, Ellen Drew IN “THE REMARKABLE ANDREW NEWS—COMEDY Admission: Mat. 9c-25c, Night 9c-30c SATURDAY Gloria Warren, Kay Francis, Walter Huston —IN— “ALWAYS IN MY HEART” Chapter 6 Gang Busters—Comedy Admission 9c-25c all day Saturday Night Owl Show 10:45 p.m Frank Craven, Mary Howard IN “THRU DIFFERENT EYES” Admission 9c- 25c Chicago, June 28—A man and his wife sat embowed tonight in a mod est Northside Chicago home vainly trying to comfort each other. The tear-stained faces were those of Mr. and Mrs. Har.s Haupt father and mother of Herbert H. Haupt, whom F. B. I. agents seized last night and who is being held as one of eight German spies landed earlier in the month on the East coast of the United States. “This is the greatest disgrace we have ever faced,” murmured the dis traught father. “We cannot believe that our boy would turn against .the country we taught him to love.” The elder Haupt, a housepainter, recalled how they had given their boy a technical high school educa tion; how he had taught Herbert the painting trade and then had sent him out as an apprentice to a lens grind er. “We brought him to this countiy when he was five years old,” "the father related. “I brought him here so he could have the advantages found only in. this freedom-loving country. “I have no use for Hitlerism, the bunds or any other person or or ganization which is un-American!” “I am an American!” Although his boy left home early in 1941 and didn’t return until a week ago last Saturday, Haupt said he never once thought that Herbert would go back to Germany and the thought never entered his head that the boy was actually a spy. Why,” he said, “Herbert was ac tually plotting against mama and me.” Mrs. Gerda Melind, Herbert’s sweetlheart for three years, was emphatic in her denial that she knew of young Haupt’s projected ac tivities. “I got a card from him a week af ter he left. It was mailed in St. Louis. I never heard from him after that until he returned home,” she declared. “He told me that he had been tour ing the country. “Love him? Surely I loved him,” added Mrs. Melind, a widow. “He was the most affectionate man I ever knew. He was good to me and he was attentive. I loved him so much I couldn’t believe he had been in Germany.” But she has suddenly lost all her love for Herbert, she declared to night. She said she had no sym pathy for spies and therefore could not sympathize with her former lov er in his present predicament. Mrs. Melind said she and Herbert had often danced and drank at the Hans Vaterland, former headquarters for the German-American bund . in Chicago. * The woman was born in Germany and came here with her parents when four and one-half years old. She has not become an American ci/tzen. She has not been questioned by the FBI, according to agents here. However, her whereabouts were a mystery between 10 o’clock last nignt and 10 a. m. today. Asked concernng her movement during that period, she refused to talk. Herman Struckmann, the woman’s father, said that the young spy had been a trouble maker. “He was always condemning America,” he asserted, “and I didn’t want my daughter to associate with him. When he came into the house he gave the Nazi salute and said ‘heil Hitler,’ all of which made us furious.” NOTICE OF CREDITORS AND OF FINAL SETTLEMENT I will make a final settlement of the estate of Lena M.
