Lord Haw Haw
Faces Return
to EnqIand

LONDON, May 81 - (P -
William Joyce, the notorious
Lord Haw Haw of the Berlin
radio, will be brought to Eng
land by plane today or tomor-
row in custody of military
guards and Scotland Yard men.
Joyce, American-born British
er who served as a radio propa-
gandist for the Nazis, and Nor
man Baltic Steward, former
British Army officer who also
broadcast for the enemy, will
be treated as civilian prisoners
and will be arraigned in Lon
don's Bow Street Court on their
arrival. Then they will be lodg-
ed in Brixton Prison.
There was speculation here
that both might claim German
naturalization. If they succeeded
in this, they would have to be
dealt with not as British SUBJ
jects who aided enemies of the
Crown, but as war criminals.
Joyce was shot in the thigh
when he was captured. In
British Army hospital at Luen-
berg, Germany, British surgeons
yesterday removed the bullet
and said the renegade would be
quite fit in a few days.
At Brixton Prison Joyce and
Baltic Steward will be given
their choice Of sewing mail bags
or remaining in solitary con-
finement cells.

Fen Accidents
MarHoHday
in Michigan
nv the Associated Pres.

Michigan had one of its safest
holiday observances on record
yesterday, as only six accidental
deaths were listed during the
! Memorial Day celebration.
Four drownings and one traf-
fic death were reported while
the sixth victim died when a
cemetery monument fell on him
at Holland.
He was eight-year-old Ardin
Wiser.
Other victims were:
Richard Kruse, 13. of Flat
Rock, drowned in the Huron Riv-
err.
Cecil p Steel, A. Of Detroit,
drowned when a fishing boat
upset on the Detroit River. Coast
Guardsmen rescued his compan-
ion, John Gould, 40, of Detroit.
George w. Moore. Sr., SO, of
Detroit injured fatally in an au-
tomobile collision.
Three year old Roger Perry
drowned at Petoskey.
Robert Bryce, q, Of Detroit,
drowned in Cass Lake, near Pom
tiac, when a boat in which he
and five others were cruising,
overturned. The others made
their way to shore.
Eight workmen were injured,
four of them seriously, when a
natural gas pipeline exploded at
Midland. Those admitted to Mid
land Hospital were Ed Ripple,
Detroit; John Kmetz, Saginaw;
Fred Aftoora, Cleveland and
Floyd Patterson, Youngstown,
Ohio.
Five Detroiters were rescued
Wednesday afternoon when their
small motorboat overturned on
the Detroit River. Other boat
ing parties effected the rescue.
Detroit police estimated that
$4,000 persons watched the Me-
mortal Day parade there, while
officials of public parks, golf
courses and other recreation
areas reported they were throng-
ed with holiday crowds.

and consequently entitled to the
compensation they claimed, whether
the rider was constitutional or not.
The opinion Of the court by Chief
Justice Whaley said the tribunal
was mot concerned with the cause"
Of their exit from the Government.
Congress, with control of the Fed
eral purse strings, can pay the claim
or not, as 1t sees fit. Another alter
native would be to take the case to
the Supreme Court for an authorita-
tive determination of the legisla-
ture's powers over executive appoint
ments in such circumstances as were
present here. The Importance of
the issue warrants the last-named
course.

Elections in Hungary

When 1t extended de facto recog-
milton to Hungary a few days ago,
the State Department declared that
1t did so because 1t had received
adequate guarantees of free and fair
elections. That these were good
guarantees is made clear by the
nationwide vote just held there.
Quite obviously-and this may sur
prise many who regard Moscow as
being capable of dominating every
thing in that part Of the world-the
balloting was not rigged in favor of
the Communists.
Though still incomplete, the re-
turns leave no room for doubt on
this score. The Small Holders party,
made up of the Center and Conser-
vative elements of the country. has
apparently won sweeping victory,
receiving about go per cent of the
votes cast, followed by the Social
Democrats with 20 per cent and the
Communists with no more than, Is
per cent, the balance being scattered
among other, smaller parties. This
Is fully in keeping with the showing
made by the Small Holders in
the Budapest municipal elections a
month ago, and there could be no
better proof of noninterference from
outside.
Certainly, although there are
Anglo American Soviet differences
over the exclusive nature of the
. recent Russian Hungarian trade
agreements matter which may yet
be ironed out satisfactorily - the
character of these elections may be
considered highly encouraging. They
were the first Of their kind in Gen.
trail Europe since prewar days, and
they were free. II similar measure
of freedom could now be had in the
vote to be held soon in Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria, Romania and Austria, the
international atmosphere would be
greatly improved. In any event,
Moscow has no puppet regime in
Hungary, nor did 1t interfere in the
balloting there last Sunday fact
which even confirmed Russophobes
must admit on the face of the
evidence.

This Changing World
By Consfanfins BroOn

No oficial asenda Is being prepared
for the conversations which will begin
early next week between President Tru-
man and his political and military adj
visers and Prime Minister Clement Att
lee, who is expected to arrive in WASH
ington at the end Of this week.
Onicially, 1t is said that the British
leaders main purpose is to discuss with
the administration leaders the question
of the atomic bomb and a number Of
economic questions on which hinges the
granting of the 5000 ,000,0 900 loan to
Great Britain.
The conversations will cover a much
wider range, however. It is probable
that the economic questions and the
future Of the atomic bomb will be dis
posed of quickly to give the leaders of
both English speaking countries time
to talk earnestly about the many po-
litical problems which the world is fac
ing and which constitute an even greater
danger to peace.
While the activities of the great
powers which have assumed the pacifi-
cation of the world are stagnant, revo-
lutions, civil wars and general unrest
are spreading throughout the world
~
The international situation has be-
come worse because of the strained re-
lationship among the Big Three.
Neither President Truman nor Prime
Minister Attlee wishes to blame any
particular power for this unfortunate
condition. They wish to explore to-
gether the best means of preventing
the expansion of the local troubles into
q major conflict. Britain is directly
concerned in anything that may happen
in Europe and in the Near and Middle
East. The United States feels strongly
about its responsibilities in the Pacific
area and In China.
The American and British policy
trainers are anxious that their forth
coming discussions are not interpreted
to mean they are forming a bloc against
Russia. Hence, no decisions, In the
proper meaning of the word, will be
reached next week in Washington, and
Moscow will be fully informed on the
discussions
While little is being said officially
in London about Britain's most i'm
portant problem-the safety Of the lines
Of communication with the empire
1t is known in Washington that the
question has become an obsession with
the British leaders Of all parties.

Germuny's Foreign Assets

The order issued by the Allied
Control Council covering German
assets abroad is noteworthy in sew
eral important respects. To begin
with, this is the first time that the
four powers occupying the former
Reich are attempting to exercise
their arrogation of full replacement
of it's former sovereignty. This, in
itself, is an innovation in modern
international law, no extinguish-
ment of a civilized sovereign state
having occurred in modern times.
The order, which has the force of
law so far as the Allied powers can
make it, aims to marshal and revest
title in all property owned not
merely by the former Reich and it's
individual citizens within occupied
Germany itself but also such prop
erty owned by German nationals
residing abroad. 1t is aimed speci-
fically at Germany's foreign assets
in the so-called neutral" countries,
because it exempts from the opera
ton of the law German assets sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the oc-
cupying powers land other United
Nations determined by the control
council"
This involves fresh innovations in
international law. The So-called
"neutrals," which include Fire, Spain,
Sweden and Switzerland. have not
been invited to join the United Ma
tions and are thus not legally bound
to accept its decisions or abide by its
rules. All these outsiders follow ira
ditional practices in respect to prop
erty owned by aliens, which protects
such property from seizure by exter-
nal authorities. Furthermore, Swift
zerland. in particular. has a "bank
secrecy law" which makes it ex-
trefnely difficult to trace foreign as
sets, this law being designed to make
Switzerland repository of foreign
capital and the source Of its finan-
cial Importance for generations. The
Swiss government has already in
dicated its strong objections to vio-
lating this long g-standing arrange
ment SO profitable to itself for
reasons which do not concern it
Such foreign pressure offends the
national dignity OF all these states
and disinclines them to bow to alien
| pressure.
Presumably, the Allied powers are
aware Of all this and are prepared
to implement their decision by
measures Of coercion II the neutral,
fail to comply with their demands

In his pocket, and accomplished what
he has. Soon after he landed he got
himself job as clerk in grocery store.
After that he successfully became hod-
carrier, deckhand, coalstoker, plasterer,
policeman, teacher, detective, lawyer,
magistrate, county court judge, district
attorney, major, colonel, State Depart
ment minister and brigadier general
and, finally, successful candidate for
the mayoralty nomination in New York
1t was 1919 when he came to the United
States. At the age of IS he has gone
a long way.
His enemies seek to belttle ODwyer,
claiming that as a policeman he was
mostly clerk, and as q lawyer and
district attorney he tried no cases, even
though it was while he was district
attorney in Brooklyn that the cases
against Murder, Inc, were brought, re-
sulting in the conviction and execution
OF such outstanding crooks and killers
as Lepke. O'Dwyer's claim to fame
rested chiefly on his handling of these
cases, even though his assistants tried
them in court. BY the spring of 1899
ODwyer had solved 81 murders COM
mitted over an eight-year period and
had smashed the most criminal mob
in Brooklyn's history.
1t has been charged, too, that O'Dwyer
owed his subsequent rapid advancement
IN the Army and his appointment to
head the economic section of the Allied
Commission in Italy, with the rank
OF minister, and to be executive direc-
tor OF the War Refugee Board to par
ticular preference by the late President
Roosevelt. Nevertheless, he did good
work in these various posts.
In the Army he was special inspector
IN the Air Corps to investigate con-
tract procurement and helped to bring
to justice number of crooks. He also
made report to the Truman Com
mittee, the Senate investigating COM
mittee then headed by President Tru-
man which resulted in bettering the
quality and output of B-2s engines.
His record in Italy was good and he
endeared himself to many in this CITY
