Mr.. Bovello cited as an example

owner had been paying $125 month
rent. When the lease expired re-
Gently the monthly rental was ad-
vanced to $3.50.
The referendum was decided on at
the BARRIERS most recent meeting
Mr. Bovello said. He said previously
attempts had been made to vote for
raise, but that such action had
been forestalled in the hope some
other way might be found to meet
the rental increases.
Mr.. Simmons said expenses of his
group of Bethesda BARRIERS made it
impossible for them to wait for the
decision of the union.
Mr.. Bovello said his union COM

Postal Pay Increase

The s400 a year pay increase for
postal employees was approved
unanimously today by the Senate
Post Office and Post Roads Commit
tee. 1t passed the House April :
and the Senate committee made nc
amendments.
The increase is intended to meet

Employees paid on an hourly basis
will receive an increase of 20 cents
an hour and postmasters at fourth

The bill will be called up in the

Federal and District government
employees were assured of receiv-
ing their pay on time for the

President Truman's signature latt
yesterday of the Emergency Def

Thursday.
The bill was hurriedly enacted b,

Douglas Won't Serve
As World Bank Head

Lewis w. Douglas, former director
of the budget, has refused to serve
as president of the Internationa.
Bank for Reconstruction and Devel-
opment, to be set up under the
Breton Woods agreement, it was
announced at the White House to-
day.
Mr.. Douglas is president of the
Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New
York and officials here understand
that the directors were unwilling tC
permit him to resign.
There is no other prospective ap-
pointee, White House Secretary
Charles G. Ross told reporters.
Nominally the choice of president
would rest with the u executive
directors of the world bank, who will
meet here May 6, but it is generally
understood the man designated by
the American Government would be
chosen. Mr.. Douglas was favored
by President Truman and Secretary
of the Treasury Vinson, the Ameri-
can governor of the bank.
Former Treasury Secretary Henry
Morgenthau, jr., recently protested
that if Mr.. Douglas headed the in
stitution, control would be vested in
Wall Street. Informed quarters en-
phasized, however, that Mr.. Nor
genthau's opposition had nothing to
do with the withdrawal of Mr.. Doug
las from consideration.

as the main reason for the unior
move. e

Effective May l. millers will be

Berlin Fake Drug Ring
Is Smashed by Allies
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, April 20-Allied police
announced today the discovery of a
million-dollar cache of fake drugs
which they said were prepared by a
ring of German racketeers, all of
whom are under arrest.
American and British intelligence
agents jailed seven men and thee
women on charges of manufacture,
possession and sale of fake penicil-
lin, which they were accused of
representing as the wonder drug
which Army physicians use to COM
bat venereal disease.
American military court agents
identified the chief of the group as
Peter Domke, 26, former German
army private. Agents said some of
the fake penicillin found in his pos
session was poisonous. A Russian
officer who received an injection
now is in critical condition.
The fake drug was prepared in
two forms-liquid and powdered
the authorities said. The solution
was analyzed as ordinary glucose
and the powder as combination
of face powder and crushed atabrine
tablets normally used for malaria.
The liquid was kept in glass vials,
the powder in legitimate but stolen
penicillin bottles.
The originator of the scheme paid
seven marks 60 cents for bottles,
filled them with the fake drugs
and sold the product for $780, the
agents said. The powdered form
in penicillin bottles brought from
81 900 to $500.
The scheme was uncovered when
one of the ring got drunk and
dropped a penicillin bottle in a
beer bar.

Sergeant Is Convicted
In LichfieId Cruelty;
Gets 6-Month Term
Guard Is Found Guilty on
Three Specifications, but
Acquitted on Five Others
By the Associated Press

LONDON, April 20.-A United
States Army court martial to-
day convicted S/Sergt. James M.
Jones of Muskogee, Okla, on
three specifications charging
simple assault on American Army
prisoners at the Lichfield deten-
ton camp and sentenced him to
six months at hard labor.
In addition to the siX-month
term, Jones was ordered to forfeit
SIS month of his Army pay during
the period of confinement.
The verdict acquitted Jones, who
was a guard at Lichfield. on five
charges of simple assault with in
tent to do bodily harm.
Bruised Prisoners Hidden.
The finding of the six-man court
was announced, after two-and-a-
half hours deliberation, by it's presi-
dent, Maj. Anthony Horn of Logans-
port, Ind.
Jones had told the court that
prisoners marked with bruises from
beatings by the guards were con-
cealed whenever Army inspectors
visited the camp.
Concluding testimony in the Sec
ond trial involving cruelty charges
at Lichfleld, Jones-22 years old
acknowledged that he hit prisoners
with his fists and with clubs and
said such practices by the guards
happened every day" on orders
from superior officers.
Jones testified that on one occa-
sion he took 10 men with some kind
of marks on them" to work on
coal dump after prison officers had
been warned of an inspector gen.
erals impending visit to the camp.
Orders Laid to Officer.
He said a prison officer, 1t. Gran
vile Cubage, of Oklahoma City, had
told him to get the prisoners out
of the way" Cubage and five other
officers face courtS-martial on
charges arising from the Lichfield
incidents.
Jones declared that Cubage issued
orders ito get rough with repeaters."
Cubage testified earlier in the trial
that such policy was followed after
he had conference with the depot
commander, Col. James A. Killian
of Highland Park, Ill.
Jones pleaded not guilty to
charges OF assault and battery, on
the ground he was carrying out
orders of his superiors.

Secretary of Labor SchWellen-
bach took John L. Lewis, head of
the striking soft-coal miners, to
the White House today for an
unheralded conference with
President Truman.
This development in Government
efforts to get contract negotiations
resumed in the stalemated soft-coal
situation was unexpected. The
White House calling list had merely
carried a notation that Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach had an appointment to see
Mr.. Truman at noon.
Mr. SchWellenbach has been try
ing for 10 days to get Mr.. Lewis
and the operators to resume joint
negotiations. The bituminous mines
have been shut since April l with
a loss to the reconversion effort.
Mr.. Lewis broke up the joint con-
ferences by walking out in huff
10 days ago because he said they
were not getting anywhere.
The United Mine Workers presi-
dent insists on consideration of his
safety and welfare proposals. The
operators want to settle first wage
and hour provisions of a new con-
tract. Neither side has budged
from this impasse.
The mine operators left town for
the Easter holidays but shad in
formed Secretary Schwellenbach
they would return whenever he saw
chance for successful resump-
ton in the negotiations.
The Labor Secretary had told re-
porters, however, he intended to
summon the operators back early
next week for separate talks with
them and Mr.. Lewis.
Secretary of the Interior Krug re-
ported, meanwhile, that the strike
has cost the Nation 1862 900 tons
of coal, or more of a loss than in
all l945 work stoppageS.
Mr.. Krug noted in a statement
that the l945 loss due to strikes
was 29,93L00O tons.
Mr.. Krug pointed out that in 1945
there had been work stoppages in
the soft-coal mines during wage
negotiations in the spring and dur
ing negotiations on the foremen's
issue in the fall, plus some wildcat"
strikes.
The number of workers in asso-
ciated industries made idle by the
Lewis strike has reached nearly
10000, with the prospect of further
layoffs.
The principal industries affected
were steel mills and coal-carrying
railroads.
