charges against Kent will be decided
after his release from imprisonment
in Great Britain and when he again
comes under the jurisdiction of our
courts"
In its detailed account of the
Kent case, the State Department
said Scotland Yard men first in
formed the Embassy Of their sus-
picions on May l8, 1910. They said
they planned to arrest Miss Wolkon
on May 20 and believed 1t would be
highly desirable" to search Kent's
rooms at the same time.
This search was carried out two
days later with a representative OF
the Embassy present. The police
found in the young mans quarters,
the report said, 1,500 individual pa
pers from the Embassy, which Kent
had begun to classify and index.
Two Photographic plates of En-
bassy documents were also found
These were believed to have been
made by Kont's confederates to pro-
vide prints to be taken to Germany.
The police determined, the state
ment said, that copies of some OF
the papers found in the rooms had
been transmitted to foreign agents.
Wanted Transfer to Reich.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Kent had written to the Charge
d'Afaires Of the American Embassy
in. Berlin seeking a transfer there.
When questioned as to what he
would have done with the papers in
his possession had he been sent
to Germany. he replied that he
could not say-that the question
was hypothetical" according to the
State Department.
Search OF Kent's rooms. the re-
port said. also revealed that he had
two newly made duplicate keys to
the index bureau and code room
of the London Embassy. He had
access to confidential documents
and kilograms by virtue Of being
a code clerk. He possessed = key
given to him off1cially, but was
quoted as explaining that he had
the extra key made for use in case
he should some day be transferred
to another section of the Embassy
where he would not have authorized
access to the coderoom.
No Details on Documents.
The State Department did not &c
into detail about the nature of the
documents which Kent took from
Evening star., 1944-09-03

the Embassy, but described them
as containing information which
would have been useful to Ger
many"
The report castigated Kent's con-
duct from every point Of view, de-
claring:
Regardless of the purpose for
which Kent had taken this ma
terial from the embassy, he had
done so without authorization, in
violation of the most elementary
principles governing the rules for
the preservation of the secrecy of
the Governments correspondence
by his own showing he had
while occupying a very special po-
sition of confidence within the en-
bassy, displayed a shocking dis
regard for every principle of decency
and honor so far as his obligations
toward the United States were
concerned"

byrnes Initiates Plan
To Assure Postwar
Use Of War Plants

War Mobiliza ton Director Byrnes
last night initiated a program to
encourage the fullest possible use
in the postwar period Of the $15,-
900 100000 worth Of Government
owned war plants as means OF
combating unemployment and pro-
ducing greater quantities Of civilian
goods.
Mr.. Byrnes established a COM
mittee composed of representatives
of four war agencies and charged
them with organizing the program
to convert the hundreds Of plants
to civilian use. The War Plants
Utilization Committee will be made
up of representative of the War
Production Board, Defense Plant
Corp, Surplus War Property Ad-
ministration and the War Man
power Commission.
Government-owned war plants
now employ several million workers
and Mr.. Byrnes said he feared 'our
unemployment problem in the per-
iod of conversion may center" in
them. He added that the Govern
ment should assume responsibility
for developing plans for 'conver-
sion of as many of the plants as
may be reasonably adaptable to
civilian production under private
operation"
Plants Should Be Listed.
Since the armed services will
want to retain number of wal
plants as stand-bys for possible fu-
ture national emergencies, Mr.
Byrnes pointed out that a large
number Of workers will be released
from their present jobs under the
best of circumstances. He added
that a list of these plants should
be furnished Immediately to VINO
so that plans may be made Tor
placement of the workers.
Each plant. he continued, should
be considered separately by the
committee. The private operators
Of many of these plants, Mr.
Byrnes said. already have plans
for their operation in postwar ci-
william production. The operators
should be interviewed now and en-
couraged to make such use Of the
facilities.
Keep Committee Posted.
Plans Of war procurement agen-
cies for terminating contracts
should be made available to the
committee, he added, and the group
should meet twice a week to can
vass thoroughly every possible way
of speeded reconversion of the
plants" The committee was Or
dered to report to OWN twice a
month on the current status of all
Government plants.
Disposition and peace use OF the
huge war plant investment long
has been regarded as one of the
toughest Of rehabilitation prob
lens. The Baruch- Hancock report
of last February devoted consider
able space to the problem, but sug-
gested that many of the plants such
as those designed to produce air.
craft, explosives and shells might
have to be scrapped or used only
