 Former Sunday
 School Pupil
 Tells oF Gifts

Nine boxes of jewelry were dis. played from the superior Court wit. ness stand today by Miss Helen stod. dard of Waterbury, who said the various pieces were given to her by the late Mrs. Sarah J. Clark of Catherine Avenue.
 The vast array of necklaces, ear. ines, and brooches was set up as the defense continued before Judge Thomas E. Troland and a jury in the win litigation brought by five cousins of Mrs. Clark, who seek to break her will.
 Miss Stoddard, a former Sunday school pupil of Mrs. Clark and a chief beneficiary under the terms of the will, testified that she had been friendly with Mrs. Clark for many years and that she had been pres. ented many gifts by the wealthy property owner.
 On ross-examination she said she had known Mrs. Helen Crichton, Mrs. Clark's housekeeper, for 25 years, and was a very good friend of Miss Mary Horsley, trust officer of the Waterbury Trust Company who made arrangements for the will, The housekeeper was the main benz eficiary under the will.
 Mrs. Clark died Aug. IS, i945 at the age of o2, a month after the will was drawn.
 The first trial in the case ended in Q nistrial last May after the jury failed to agree. Indications are that the current trial will not take the three weeks time that was required for the first hearing.
 Bringing the appeal from probate are Mrs. Elizabeth Pouard, Mrs. Jeannette Slade, Mrs. Sarah J. How ard, and Robert B. Callahan, all of Waterbury, and William welch of West Haven.

Roege denied categorically that he made any such statement to Clark "at that time or at any other time"
 Prior to my speech at Swarth- more" he said. T informed you that I intended to speak at Swarth- more and elsewhere about interna- tional Fascism and the Fascist threat to democracy and you ex- pressed no disapproval.
 You requested me to say in the speech at Swarthmore that the de- partment had not restrained me in any way and had given me a free hand in the entire field of my acc tivities and I complied with your request.
 Assumed Liberty to Use Facts
 Naturally. inferred from your request that I was free to discuss the contents of my report; other wise, you would have been asking me to make a misrepresentation to my audience"
 Rogge said that a few weeks after hL report was submitted to Clark, portions of it's contents were pulp lished in the syndicated column of Drew Pearson" and that after this "it seemed not only unwise but also futile to withhold the balance Of the report from the public"
 My speech at SwRrthmore," he said. "divulged nothing that was not already in the possession of Mir Pearson, and nothing of substance that had not already been published by him"

WGshingtOn's Real Estate Goes BLOOie in Definition
and Earl Photo.

The old houses, equipped with new furnaces and fresh paint, long have been regarded as fashionable
 The younger practitioners of the New Deal moved almost enmasse to Georgetown. Now they're mov- ing out. Rare is the block without at least one house for sale.
 The real estate agents even are trying to high-pressure me again Haw.haw-haw. That's me laugh ing last and loudest. Every time 6 Republican chief threatens a new slug of economy, the reverbera- tions reach me by way of a des- perate salesman.
 One of the latter, trying to get me to look at a house whose price had just been cut S4,500, confessed Shat the prospective customers how had disappeared.
 Investments Too Much
 The house-for-s -sale ads sudde: ly have begun to contain phrases like this: owner leaving city Price drastically reduced owners will sacrifice make an offer any reasonable bid accepted. still am laughing. So is the eagle on my dollars.
 Looks like that bird soon is go- ing to be worth as much as he ever was. One fellow I know put up a new three-bedroom house, which might have cost him SIS, % in ordinary times. So long were the delays and so costly were things like bath tubs in the black market that his investment totaled S40,- 900. He was aghast.
 He couldn't afford to live in 1t. He advertised 1t for sale (not realiz- ing that the plug had been pulled) for S55, 900. That was almost three months ago. Nobody would pay him S55,OOO. Hes not happy.
 Neither is a speculative builder, trying to sell row of new houSes for Sl4,95O each in suburban Sil- yer Spring. They're not bad little houses, either. The rooms are tight and the closets are small, but the design is good. He's sure Of that.
 Imitation Affects Felt
 He built the same type of houses in the same neighborhood before the war and sold same to heir current owners, all of whom have planted neat signs on their lawns saying, simply: We bought this house for $8.95O." The effect on n- flation in Silver Spring has been considerable.
 The final blow to the real estate vendors came in the houses-wanted to-buy column. The advertiser didn't want to buy one. Why is your house languish on & dying market?" he said. If like 1t, l might rent it"
 Tn five long years no homeless one has dared talk like that.

Washington. Nov. l2-(UP)-- About the only things that aren't going up in price are houses. They're up SO high already that the only way for them to go is down.
 This is true all over the country; particularly is 1t true in the Capi- tai. which had the screwballiest realty boom of all. Now it's going blooie. Right or wrong, the Repub- licans can take the credit.
 The New Dealers are on the way out. As one of them advertised: :: New Deal Georgetown home for sale; we've had enough. Republican broom was too much for us. No agents and no publicity. please. We want to leave Washington aS quick ly and quietly as possible"

o. J. ROgge Accuses Clark OfAbOut-fGce in Custer

Washington. Nov. l2-tUPl-O. John Rogee today accused Attorney General Tom c. Clark of inconsist- ency in firing him from the Justice Department for his controversial speech telling of alleged Nazi ef- forts to sway .. s. elections.
 Rogge, former special assistant to the attorney general, charged that Clark did an about-face by first assuring him complete freedom in the speech and then firing him for disclosing government secrets.
 Rogge's indictment of Clark was made in a letter to the Attorney General. He preceded it with a charge that the Administration was muzzling those who sought to ex- pose Fascist activities.
 Threat Greater Today
 The Fascist threat to democracy" is greater today than at any time since before 1880. he said in a radio forum last night. Yet, he added the Administration permits the Fas- cists full freedom to speak. while those who wish to attack Fascism and tell the facts about Naz pen- etration in this country, no matter whose name is involved, find them selves gagged"
 Administration policy is "doubly dangerous, he said, when one re- calls that J. Edgar Hoover. the able head of the FBI. has been com pletely free to tell about the in- sidious activities of the Commun- ists."
 Tt is a great advantage to the Fascists, who always stress the Co..munist menace, when govern ment officials can discuss Com mInists but are not free to dis close factual data on the activities on the Fascists in this country" Rogge said.
 The speech which caused Rogge's dismissal was made at Swarthmore (PaD College on Oct. 22. In it, he told of alleged Maxi efforts to en- list the aid of many U. s. notables in an attempt to block the re-elec- ton of the late President Roosevelt.
 Denies Making Statement
 In his letter of dismissal. Clark said the speech was based on a confidential report made by Rogge on the alleged tie-up between the German government and defendants in l94fs mass sedition trial, of which Rogge was chief prosecutor. Clark asserted that Rogge had told him the day before the speech that he had no intention of using ma terial in the report.

 Despite the optimistic tone of dip- lomatic reports, however, stringent safeguards were imposed to pro- tect high government officials and Whitehall buildings from possible extremist attacks.
 One high authority in Whitehall said: We have no evidence that even one PaleStinian terrorist is now in this country, and yet I do not make that as an official claim, be- cause cannot be certain the bal- loon may not go up in the next i've minutes. That is the position in a nutshell"
