S. C. SURPLUS HITS $3,500,000
MARK
Columbia, June 30—State Auditor
J. M. 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.
Although complete figures on June
collections were not available on gas
oline, $16,043,000 was collected for the
eleven months, compared with $15,-
091,000 for the previous fiscal year,
an increase of 6.3 per cent.
The increase in gasoline collec
tions was accumulated largely dur
ing the first six months. Since gaso
line and tire rationing has become
effective, receipts have dropped off
substantially, with June collections
22 per cent less than in June, 1941.

“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.”
