Lovers of fine horses will be given
an opportunity of seeing some of
Europe's finest bloodstrains gathered
together in single showing next
Sunday at the Army Remount
Depot. Front Royal, Va. under
auspices of the Army Remount
Service.
A total of 143 of the highest
strains from several parts of the
continent will be given their first
and probably only collective show
ing to the public beginning at 10
am. They were brought to this
country, arriving at Newport News
last October 20, as a part of repara-
tions payments, after painstaking
preparations by the remount service.
They will be used to improve blood
strains of American breeds
The remount service is unable to
say at this time whether any of the
imported stock is to be offered at
auction to American breeders.
Beset by Red Tape.
Col Fred L. Hamilton, chief of re-
mount, is mainly responsible for the
collection. After being approached
by several horse minded Senators,
he conferred with the late Gen.
George S. Patton, jr., and CORE
sponded with a number of cavalry
officers on duty with the occupa ton
forces.
Col. Hamilton received orders to
proceed to Europe On arrival he
was beset with difficulties brought
about by red tape and lack of
procedure for handling such a prob
lem.
He first reported to Berlin, to the
deputy military governor of the
American sector In Germany, where
authorization was obtained to ar
range for shipment. He then pro-
ceeded to the German government S
thoroughbred breeding farm at Alte-
field, approximately 100 miles north
west of Frankfurt. There superior
foundation stock had been collected
through opportunities afforded by
the war.
At the farm they assembled the
stalli6ns-Pharis, Brantome, Bubbles,
Antonym, Oleander and Flamboyant,
and a band of mares from through
out Europe. All but Pharis were

products, an association spokesman
said.
Few Return to Farms.
County Agent o. w. Anderson of
Montgomery County testified that
even though farmers were in SYM
pathy with famine-stricken coun-
tries, "at present prices our farmers
don't seem willing to grow a max
imum crop in 1916" He said that
yesterday farmer named for him
seven farms where not a stalk of
corn will be grown this year" as a
result of labor shortages.
He said that during the war I'VE
benefited greatly by patriotism, but
I don't find it today"
Mr.. Anderson said that only eight
veterans had been placed in agfi-
cultural jobs in the county in recent
months, although more than 1,l0o
farm boys from Montgomery County
went into the armed forces. He
pointed out four of the veterans in
the farm jobs stayed only two weeks
The only way out for the dairy
man, the county official said, is for
him to be able to compete with
other industries in getting labor.
Prisoners of war, he said, were an
important part of the farm labor
force in the last several years, but
they will not be available this sea-
son.
Expect Subsidy Loss.
A similar hearing was asked by
the association last January. At
that time it sought an increase of
SIS cents a hundredweight to offset
an expected loss of Government
subsidy. No action was taken on
the request.
The Agriculture Departments S
Production and Marketing Admin
istration stated that in addition to
the blanket increase the following
price changes were asked:
"a fluid price increase for GER
tain Maryland producers in lieu
of premium payments for produc-
ton standards. This is proposed
in view of the fact that Maryland
has discontinued the rating of pro-
ducers supplying the Maryland
area of the Washington market"
I the statement said.
Discontinuance of the seasonal
adjustment plan which reduces pay
ments to producers in April. May
and June and increases payments
in September, October and Novem-

IVA Decentralization
Under 10 Deputies
In Effect Today

Veterans Administrator Bradley
today put into effect his promised
decentralization program to give
veterans quicker and more efficient
service.
Thirteen deputy administrators,
beginning today, will have complete
supervision over VAS more than 100
regional Offices and hospitals.
1t will be up to the deputy ad-
ministrators, it was explained by
Brig. Gen. H. B. Lewis, Gen. Brad
ley's administrative adviser, to break
the current log jams in services to
veterans and see that service is kept
current.
Deputy ministrators-with ul-
innate STATS of about ZOO employees
each-will be responsible for seeing
that veterans get into hospitals when
they apply and get good medical
care; that subsistence checks for
student veterans arrive on time; that
certificates of eligibility for veterans
applying for schooling are not de-
layed; that men are examined
promptly for pensions, and that con-
struction projects are speeded.
16-Month Schedule Set.
Still awaiting decentralization to
the branch Offices are insurance and
death claims, which are handled by
the central VA Office. These serv-
ices will be decentralized to the
branch offices on staggered sched-
ule to be completed by December 7.
said William Conner, director of VAS
office of coordination and planning
Both Mr.. Conner and Gen. Lewis
pointed out that Gen. Bradley had
said the decentralization would be
completed in 18 months. The pres
ent schedule calls for 16 months.
To emphasize why deeentraliza-
ton was necessary, Gen. Lewis said
he had checked one hospital at ran
dom to see how closely it had been
supervised. He said nobody from
the VA central office had been near
the hospital for five years.
Streamlinins Studied.
Conditions like that, he predicted
will be eliminated by the new deputy
administrators.
In addition to giving the deputy
administrators full supervision over
their areas, Mr.. Conner said. VA is
now studying the regional Offices to
see how their services can be
streamlined. Goal of VA is 48-hour
service for veterans. Once the re-
gional Offices are operating with
maximum efficiency, Mr.. Conner
said, VA teams will go into the vet
Grams hospitals TO increase their
efficiency.
Asked how long it would take for
all regional Offices to give 48-hour
service, Gen. Lewis said that de-
pended on the deputy administra-
tors but he pointed out that one
office. Minneapolis, is now current
in all its work.
So far, decentralization into 13
little VAS has not decreased the
staff at the central Office here.
which is now supposed to handle
policy and planning" A total of
L 900 employees are now working in
the VA central Office as compared
with 5000 a year ago.

2Faee Bribery Charge
After Jewe|ry Find

Two men were charged with brib-
cry after detectives discovered ap-
proximately $4,000 in jewelry and
other unrecorded goods in a second
hand shop in the first block Of H
street NV. Saturday during a
routine check for a stolen army
jacket.
Detective Lewis E. Berry and
Washington Terminal Police Sergt.
Paul B. Hendley said they were Of
fered 5000 each by the two men
after they found goods in the shop
which had not been reported as re-
quired BY regulations.
Charged with bribery and two
violations of secondhand store reg
ulations was Robert M. Toney, "a,
colored, TOO block Park road NV,
who was released in $1,000 bond.
James c. Morgan, 81, colored, 800
block Florida avenue NE, was
charged with bribery and released
in $1,000 bond.
Mr.. Berry said a routine inspec-
ton led to the discovery of the
Army jacket. At this point Toney
placed a $40 bill on the counter,
he said. Further inspection revealed
almost $4,000 in jewelry and
watches hidden behind a pile of
secondhand clothing which was not
accounted for, Mr.. Berry stated.
Then the men handed 5000 to
each of the policemen, saying,
Make 1t as light for us as you can,'
Mr.. Berry charged.
Police said the cache may lead
to the solution of number of re-
cent housebreakings

The youthful pianist, who will be
18 in July, played the technically
dimcult position with an
astounding facility and power.
Conceived along broad lines, with
the element of tragedy predominant
throughout and effectively suggested
by the sonorities Of the bass, oc-
casionally relieved by delicate clus-
ters Of harmonic combinations in
the treble, the sonata requires an in
terpreter who possesses imagination
and virtuosity. Mr.. Cooks serious
and mature outlook on music beyond
his years, was demonstrated in diff
ferent ways during the evening, be-
ginning with his performance of
classical numbers: the Rameau-
Godowsky "Tambourin," Sara
bande" "Rigaudon" and Beethoven's
Sonata, op. 54." Although the
French idiom as in prelude. y
"Fugue" and "Toccata" from Ravel's
lie Tombeau de Couperin" escapes
him for the time being, his brilliant
technique enabled him to make an
effective display of the Paganini-
Liszt Caprice in E Flat Major" and

Seyss-|nquart Claims
Hitler DoubIecross
BY the Associofsd Press

NUREMBERG, June 10.-Arthul
Seyss-Inquart, tall manipulation o1
the Austrian anschluss, testified be-
fore the international military tri-
bunal today that Adolf Hitler dou-
ble-crossed him after annexing
Austria to the Reich.
Opening his defense against accu-
sations that he sold out his native
Austria and then participated in
outrages against the Netherlands
Seyss-Inquart said Hitler failed to
keep promises he made in a confer
ence at Berchtesgaden in February
1888.
The defendant said he told Hitler
at that time that Austrian ideals
must be maintained as a requisite
to peaceful union with Germany
The Fuehrer agreed to this, Seyss-
Inquart testified.
But after the German armies once
were solidly entrenched within Aus
tria, the defendant continued, Hitler
took an opposite tack and relegated
Seyss-Inquart to a subordinate posi-
ton.
Il told Hitler I would not offer
myself as Trojan horse leader,
he said.
Seyss-Inquart offered a transcript
of notes he made at the Berchtes-
gaden conference to substantiate his
claims, and his lawyer also intro
duced records showing that Seyss-
Inquart was promptly superseded in
the highest position of authority by
Hitler's appointment of Joseph
Buerckel as reichcommissar, re-
porting directly to the Fuehrer.

He Consented 10 Wife
Giving Photo 10 Rollins
BY the Associated Pres.

ANNAPOLIS, June 10.-Musician
l/c William r. Sima, jr., told Navy
court-martial today that his blond
wife, Margaret, gave a photograph
OF herself to Chief Steward Walter
w. Rollins, coloreo, with my ap-
proval."
Sima. a Naval Academy bands
man, was recalled to the witness
stand at the opening of the fourth
day of Rollins trial on charges of
embezzlement, gambling, miscon-
duct, theft and improper relations
with a white woman. Rollins plead
ed innocent to all the charges.
The seven-officer court examined
two other witnesses before recessing
to discuss the competency of testi-
mony given by one of them, Mrs.
Dorothy Luttrell, assistant manager
of the North Severn Onicers' Mess,
where Rollins formerly was en-
ployed.
Testimony Is Challenged.
Admissibility of Mrs. Lutrells tes-
timony was challenged by Capt.
F. o. Willenbucher of defense coun-
sci after she had said that Rollins
was the sole possessor" of a key
to the liquor storeroom at the North
Severn Ofhcers' Mess.
1t. Comdr. William L. P. Burke,
co-judge advocate, recalled young
Sima to the stand to testify con-
corning picture Of his wife found
in Rollins quarters at the officers
mess.
Asked to explain the presence of
the picture, Sima said:
Rollins was in my house during
the Christmas holidays of 1945. My
wife had about a dozen of the same
picture you have there. She was
showing them to my mother, father
and Rollins.
Tells of Giving Approval.
He expressed desire to have
one. My wife looked at me for my
or disapproval. I nodded
my head to show it was with my
In response to a question, he re-
peated that his wife gave the photo
graph to Rollins, inclosed in a frame.
Mrs. Evelyn Baker Richman of
New York, second member of de-
fense counsel, asked Sima If he saw
the picture later in Rollins quarters.
"Yes, on February g." Sima replied.
1t previously had been brought
out that on that night, Sima, jr.;
his wife, his parents and Mrs. Agnes
Ruth Thompson, an Annapolis hair
dresser, attended a party in Rollins
quarters.
