Admits Massdcres
 Protector Frank Condemned to Die

Prague, May 21-CUP)-Karl Her. mann Frank, Nazi, protector" Of Czechoslovakia, was sentenced to death today for ordering the de- struction of Lidice and other war criminal acts.
 A Czech Peoples Court passed the death sentence on Frank after a long trial in which parade of witt nesses recounted his brutal acts as administrator of the occupied land.
 Frank was accused of contributing to the death of at least 300.OO0 CZechE.
 The time and place for his execu- ton were not announced. The judge began the reading of the SOO-page verdict, which was expected to con- tinue two days.
 Frank confessed during the trial that he had ordered SS troops to wipe out Lidice in reprisal for the assassination of Reinhold Heydrich.
 Confronted with witness who told of his order, Frank first said he didn't remember. Finally he ad-' mitted 1t under severe questioning.
 The Nazi leader stared stolidly at the floor while peasant women tes- tified how their husbands had been shot and their children taken away.
 When the trial opened on March p, Frank asked in vain to be tried at Nuremberg ny the International tribunal rather than by the Czech court.
 In the whole Czech nation there is not person who would not hate me or be my enemy" he said.

Research Urged Macy Budget Cut Billion Dollars

Washington, May 21-(UP)-The House Appropriations Committee today recommended an appropria- tion of $4,639, ,659,O0O for the Navy in the fiscal year beginning next July 1-more than $1,000, ,00O, 900 less than the Navy originally re- quested.
 The committee restored only $374, ,26O,0O0 of the approximately $2,000, ,0O0, 900 clipped from the naval budget request by the Budget Bur- eau. Most of the restored funds were for research and the training of reserves. rather than for actual fleet operations.
 The committee said the $4,639,- 659, 900 would provide fleet of -29l major combat ships, with 42 ships in ready reserve and 632 more on inactive status.
 It would provide for 437, 900 Navy enlisted men and 57,8O0 officers. The Nays air strength would be 8,400 planes, including 2,400 spares.
 Uncertain of Approach
 The committee reported that it was difficult to decide just how much the Navy should have for its first full year of postwar operations.
 If it were possible to know at this moment what effect, for ex- ample, the atomic bomb may have on future modes and methods of warfare, a line of approach could be devised that would provide the necessary men and facilities to serve the pattern of the new era" |" the committee said in it's report &C., companying the appropriation bill.
 "The war just closed has taught us certain object lessons that we dare not ignore. It established, for example, that the measure of efi- cacy of our Navy is not to be set within the limits of what other navies of the world may have.
 "The old catch phrase, "A Navy Second to None has now ceased to be anything but useless Shibbo- leth. Our Navy, in fact, is today greater than the combined navtes of the world, but that in itself means nothing"
 The committee increased budget estimates for the naval reserve by $54 ,9S9 900. It gave $40,000, 900 more for naval research.
 The committee voted to increase the Marine Corps budget by $l2,- 669, 900 and said Americans will never look with any favor" upon any move which would result in the Corps losing its identity in reshuffling or reorganization of the armed forces.

Stote.A.B.C. Plants. ! {! ...| Hum m Again Today
 Thousands Return
 After Long Strike;
 Three Shops Idle

Production at Connecticut plants of the American Brass Company was resumed today after a 105-day strike the end of which voted Sum- day by union employees at Water bury, Torrington and Ansonia. With thousands of workers returning to their jobs today and the rest noti- fled to report in 8 day or two, the company soon will be back on a full-operations basis.
 Office employees of American Brass will receive pay increase of $7.4O or IS percent weekly, whichever is greater, it was learned today. The increase, subject to ap- proval by the Wage Stabilization Board, becomes effective as of yes terday. The $7.4O figure represents the 1872 cent increase granted work CTS in the bargaining unit under the new contract.
 The regional office of the Wage Stabilization Board at Boston was reported ready to act speedily on the company's request for approval of the 1872 cent pay boost granted members of the A.B.C. bargaining unit in the new contract.
 A strike at AB.C.'s Buffalo plant continued. with the Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union local there having voted to accept settlement terms but to remain on strike until office and clerical employees, repre- sented by the Interstate Metal Workers Union, sign new con- tract.
 Another strike against AB.C., this one at the New Toronto, Ont, plant, continued today. It began Saturday morning. The company's Detroit plant, which has been idle since March because of strike, is due to resume operations this week.
 Though strikes at smelling and refining plants have halted the flow of raw materials, American Brass is reported to have enough mater ials and coal on hand to operate for at least month. U. S. Conciliator Walter A. Maggiolo, whose efforts helped bring about the Connecticut settlement, is now seeking to end the strike at the International Smelling & Refining Company
