Second, tranquil conditions are
necessary for orderly emigration.
Third. there must be money to estab-
lish the refugees in their new homes.
Whether the money is to come from
private organizations as it has so
far or from the governments is an
other matter, Mr.. Rublee said, firm
on the point that q great deal Of
money is needed. Fourth, there must
be places for them to settle.
Stressing the need for funds. Mr..
Rublee pointed out that aid is need
ed not only for the distressed IN
Germany, but for those refugees who
have gone to other countries of Eu-
rope and are stranded without funds
NeSd for Training Camp.
Another phase OF the problem, ne
said, Is the need for training camps
where refugees may be taught ag-
ricultural pursuits.
Although Mr.. Rublee spent most
of his time in the London head
quarters of the committee, he went
to Germany for several weeks in
January to determine what the
German authorities would be willing
to do in facilitating the exodus of
their unhappy minorities. Their
part in the plan. on which he kept
silent, was incorporated in the
general program.
His official duties were to conclude
today with his report to the State
Department..
Comparing his law work to the
international job he has done. he
smiled. Il think the law will be

In Pennsylvania Rood
Department CHARGED
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 27.-1n-
dictment Of four members of former
Gov. George H. Earle's cabinet and
others afflliated with his Democratic
administration was recommended
today by a special grand jury which
investigated charges of conspiracy
to defraud the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania.
Cabinet members named in the
presentment on charges of fraud
and pay roll padding in the Highway
Department, "blackmail' of State
employees for political contributions
and misuse Of surety bonds on State
construction contracts were:
David l.. Lawrence, Democratic
State chairman and former secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, pre-
viously indicted on charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the Common
wealth and violation of the election
laws.
No Findings Against Earle.
Ralph M. Bashore, secretary of
the Democratic State Committee
and former secretary of labor and
industry.
Roy E. Brownmiller, former sec
retary of highways.
The late Warren Van Dyke, Sec
retary of highways before Brown
miller.
The grand jury's report said "al-
though We are not prepared to make
any specific findings regarding the
conduct OF George H. Earle" in per-
mitting the alleged conditions. I'VE
expressly direct attention thereto IN
the hope that care will be exercised
by future chief executives and that
every precaution will be taken to
prevent misuse of State funds
The charges were made during the
spring primary campaign last year.
Republicans won the November elec-
ton and took over the State admin
istration in January.
No Power to Indict.
The presentment said the grand
jury believed Mr. Earle should have
known of conditions Investigated

Defense

a general debate on foreign policy
might be averted.
Democratic Leader Barkley said
the measure. which carries the bulk
/ OF the Presidents $552,OOO,OOO ma
tlonal defense program, would be
passed by midWeek. While there
probably will be some discussion of
the relation of defense to conditions
abroad. Senator Barkley said no
major foreign policy speeches had
been planned.
Leaders decided to take up the
defense bill late today after dis
posing of measure providing
Federal aid to States in cleaning up
stream pollution.
Some Republicans joined with
Democrats in predicting the Army
program would pass the Senate as
it did the House-by an overwhelm-
ing majority. However. commit
tee proposal to make the maximum
number of Army planes 5000 instead
of the House-approved figure of
$500 appeared likely to provoke
debate.
$500 Limit Favored.
Senator Clark, who said he favored
the $500 limit, asserted:
Il don't see any excuse myself for
raising the ceiling after Gen. Arnold
and Gen. Craig both told the Mill
tary Committee $500 would be
enough"
Another Senate controversy seemed
imminent over Navy recommended
ton for improving harbor facilities
on Guam.
Despite an assertion of Chairman
Walsh, Democrat. of Massachusetts
Of the Naval Affairs Committee that
House disapproval of the $1,000 900
proposal had effectively killed it, an
impression prevailed in some quar-
ters that the Navy would urge the
Senate to approve the plan. Senator
Davis. Republican, of PENNSYLVANIA
agreed with Senator Walsh. He told
neWsmen at North Adams, Mass.
that the Senate could not, and would
not, overlook the overwhelming vote
in the House"
The Naval Committee was expected
to take up this week the S48, 300, 900

Rub|ee Back at Desk
After Ending Jewish
Refugee Work
Washington Attorney
Outlines Emigration
PIon Generally

George Rublee, 70-year-old WASH
ington attorney and until recently
director of the Intergovernmental
Committee on Political Refugees,
was back at his desk today with an
ocean between him and the prob
lens of Europe's suffering minorities.
He had left behind him a plan
which he hopes will alleviate the
conditions of Jews in Germany and
make possible an orderly emigration
of refugees to other lands.
His plan. submitted to the Inter-
governmental Committee, is now
being considered by the German
government.
Mr.. Rublee, who tops feet by
several inches, had no comment to
make on the events In Germany
since his resignation from the COM
mittee February l3.
I'm no longer in touch" he ex-
planned MANY things may have
happened since I left"
Situation Improved.
Speaking generally, he said he felt
the situation had improved. More
interest is being taken in the prob
lem of the refugees. he said. adding
he came back feeling much more
hopeful than when he went.
The job of settling refugees in
new homes will go on for years, he
said, but my part is done" Al
though he SAID he would be willing
to volunteer his services any time
they were needed. it was understood
when he took the job of directing
the activities of the committee that
he would have to return to his law
Office by the end of winter.
Although the details of his plan
remain secret, he outlined it gener-
ally. 1t provides. he said. for the
infiltration Of refugees into other
countries through the regular emf

tiles of settlement in British ana

much more to restore business conf
dence than administration promises
OF no new taxes. They pointed out
that Government economy was not
mentioned in the statements by Sec
retaries Hopkins and Morgenthau.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia said continued red-ink fiscal
operations merely entail more and
more Government borrowing.
Senator Gerry, Democrat. OF
Rhode Island expressed similar
opinion. and Senator King, Demo-
crat, OF Utah told reporters the
promise of no tax increase lis wholly
inconsistent with Secretary Morgen-
thau's request that the Federal debt
limit be raised to $50,O0O 100000"
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, unlike these Senators, as
serted the public debt has not yet

that harbor changes looking to
establishment of a commercial sea-
plane base would be followed by de-
mands for fortification which might
be construed an an unfriendly act
toward Japan.
House leaders expect to take up
late this week, after disposing of the
Treasury-Post Office appropriation

the War Department for the next
