Doctors experience tells him that
he almost certainly will not be
paid. But whatever the merits of
that may be. do you know what
the standard practice is, as every
hospital In America can testify 4?
A Negro family calls an ambu-
lance. And either public or pri-
vate philanthropic funds pay the
bill. Those funds come from the
community pocket.
Or let us remember the long
depression years when Negroes
constituted disproportion a e
share of the nations relief load.
No practical minded citizen wants
to have to lift that kind of load
again. 1t is too costly to the tax
payers when people are on relief.
1t Is cheaper for all that they
should be working.
Or take it the other way round.
We Republicans know that every
thing that Americans produce in
creases the wealth of the nation.
And conversely we know that
what Americans fail to produce
fails to increase the wealth of the
nation. By denying equal job op-
portunity to the Negro We are
denying him the full and free right
to produce to the limit of his ca.
pacity and talents and we also
deny to America the benefit of the
wealth he would have produced.

City to Buy Jeep, Necessary Funds
 Ordered Transferred
 By Board

Various transfers for city depart ments were approved by the Board of Finance at its regular meeting yesterday. The transfer of $3,000 within the street department budget was approved for purchase of an army surplus 'Jeep" to be used as an all-purpose vehicle. The fund wil lalso be used for purchase of two surface heaters, welding unit, and sweepers carts.
 The transfer of $l,o0O has been effected within the controller gen. erals fund for use by the Retire. ment Board. This amount is already set up within the pension fund but Budget Director Arnold E. Furlong ruled 1t to be advisable to set 1t up separately in the latter fund.
 Installation of new fire boxes in the Platts Mills district was ap- proved by transfer of $405 in the Fire Department budget. One box also will be erected opposite 60 Mea- dow Street.
 Approval was given to transfer $2,661.94 in uncollectible taxes to the Suspense Tax Book. Each un- pal damount is listed accompanied by statement of the reason why the bill was uncollectible, such as death of taxpayers, inability to locate individuals, etc.
 Transfer for 5000 within the re- serve fund for sewer construction was voted by the board to allow allocation of that amunt from the sanitary sewer appropriation to teh cost of installing storm water drains on the Darlington Brook project. The action had been rec- commended by the Works Board.

IngersoU's Book Plays Eisenhower z Churchill and Montgomery Also
 Criticized in P. M. Editors Volume
 "Top Secret"
"Ton Secret"

New York, April l9-(UP)-Ralph Ingersoll, editor of PM, charged to- day in "Top Secret"-a book on his war-ti experiences in the Army that Britain deliberately attempted to influence the course of the war in such a manner as to weaken Russia.
 Ingersoll's book carries bitter attack on British military planning and tactics and strongly criticizes Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 Ingersoll was drafted into the Army as e private and finished the war as a lieutenant-colonel in the planning section of Gen. Omar Bradley's staff.
 Involves Eisenhower
 Ingersoll asserted that Eiser1- hover in the final weeks of the war sent to Washington a bitter criti- cism of both Montgomery and Churchill. accusing Montgomery of being repeatedly guilty of insubor- dination."
 "Eisenhower stated fiatly," 1nger- soil said, "that he had several times given Montgomery more than enough to insure a victory and that, in each instance, Montgomery had failed him.
 "The supreme commander didn't stop with Montgomery. At long last he vented his feelings about Church. i'll and attacked Churchill for his direct dealings with Montgomery his meddlesomeness and his con- tinued interference outside of chan nels. For good measure, Eisenhower had then gone on the record that his Deputy Air Chief Marshal Ar thur Tedder was useless to him ex- cept as an advisor on air matters. "
 Important Decision
 Ingersoll asserted that one of the most violent behind-the-sceneS con- troversies of the war ragged over decision by Bradley to race east to join the Russians at the E1be ra- ther than moving straight on Ber- lin. He said the British regarded this a decision which may yet leave it's permanent mark on Eur ope."
 Churchill, Ingersoll said, person. ally cabled President Roosevelt in an effort to get him to divert Brad- ley to join Montgomery in drive to capture Berlin before the RuS- sians could take it.
 President Roosevelt said mo- Ingersoll reported. And the war and the presidents life ended with very bad blood between the two great leaders of the Western powers Roosevelt never forgave Churchill for his last message-arld Churchill never forgave Roosevelt for turn ing 1t down."
 Diversions Ike .IngersOIi. reported that after Bradley reached the Elbe and after Roosevelt's death, Churchill went over Esienhower's head and person. ally telcphoned Bradley asking him to withdraw back to the American demarcation line but to stand on the Elhe because Churchill wished this area with which to bargain fur. ther with the Russians"
 During the war;" Ingersoll charged, ''T'he British attempted to manipulate our military policy 70 that we would fight the war the way they wanted it fought-whleh was an aIiti-Runslan way. Nov, alth equal determination they are atsmptlng to manipulate American foreign policy Co link our future

irretrivably with theirs. If they suc- ceed, and there is third world war, we will surely fight 1t for them against the Russians"
 Ingersoll charged that had ElSen- hover been more decisive in August, l944, the war could have been brought to an end six months earl- fer. Had Eisenhower at that time backed either Bradley or Mont gomery in their opposing plans of campaign against the Germans, Ingersoll asserted, the Nazis would have been defeated.
 Cites Failure
 Eisenhower's failure, Ingersoll said, lay in the fact that he had been selected for his ability to coil- ciliate, to see both points of view, to be above national interests-and to be neither bold nor decisive, and neither leader nor a general"
 He contended Eisenhower was too much under Churchill's influence and quoted the late Harry Hopkins as saying that Gen. George c. Marshall Is "the only general in the world whom Churchill is afraid of."

possible hardships. Few had both cred to study German for their stay abroad: one woman said she had ordered phrase book but 1t hadn't come in time.
 Tough Luck
 Two passengers were scratched from the list just before sailing time when Leonard Martin, Jr., T, developed measles and Mrs. Ethel Martin cabled her major-huSband in Frankfurt she'd be quarantined for ten days.
 Another woman made the trip only after much badgering of auth oities. She was Mrs. Delbert Al. len, of Amarillo, Texas, whose child, Sybil, is only three months old three months under the age dead. line of six months.
 Isn't 1t wonderful" Mrs. Allen cried. She said her husband was @ warrant officer in FritZler, Ger many. Even the fact that she was bunked like most of the women -in cabin of eight mothers and eight children failed to dismay her.
 Plenty of Courage
 Mrs. Martha Kiehl, with her three infant daughters, was also jubilant-despite the fact that her house in Irwin, Pa, burned down just l5 days ago with all her "trous- seau" and the children's baggage.
 "The neighbors were wonderful" Mrs. Kiehl said. "They fixed Us up with new things in no time at all"
 Many of the women carried American gadgets with them to their new homes, but few took food, even for their children. One wo- man, Mrs. Ann Lindsay Barry, of Columbus, O., wife of It. Col. Rob- ert Barry of Frankfurt, had vacuum cleaner, an iron, a toaster and a roaster along as well as her daughter Bliss, and her son, Bruce, 17 months. She, like Mrs. Mark Clark, wife of the general, and her daugher Anne, 20, had stateroom for her family.
 The ship, with its first batch of the 30000 CT families scheduled to go to Europe, sailed at 3 D. m. It will dock in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Gestapo Victim Going
To Rejoin Family Dies
In Shannon Air Crash
BY the Asseeiossd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-A "wef-
come home" sign hung today above
the entrance of an eighth floor
West Side apartment. Colored
streamers garlanded the rooms.
The kitchen was packed with
foods dreamed of through eight
years of Gestapo imprisonment, work
in Russian salt mines and days OF
despairing delay.
In the living room, Mrs. Gizela
Koegel and her daughter, Mrs. Mar
ian Corda. concert singer, sobbingly
told how the hope of family re-
union, held tenaciously, was shat

Star of Cairo crashed in Fire, carry
their husband and father, Herman,
81, to his death.
Mrs. Corda told the story from
letters received recently from her
father. Mrs. Koegel showed tele-
gram from her husband saying that
he was enroute at last.
Mr.. Kroegel, a native of Rudnick,
Poland, had established a real estate
and clothing manufacturing business
in Koepenick, Germany, and was
well to do, Mrs. Corda said, then one
night in 1888, while she was visiting
there, the Gestapo came and seized
him. The family never saw him
again, and the mother and daugh-
ter came to the United States.
The Gestapo took Mr.. Koegel to
the German-Polish border. He went
on to Rudnick. With the invasion of
Poland in September, 1899, he fed
toward Russia and was seized by the
Soviets.
He worked in Siberian salt mines
for 19 months until Germany at
tackled Russia Then he was sent
to Paschkent in Turkestan in 1912,
from where he communicated with
his family.
It took him until 1916 to return
to Poland, where he obtained a
passport. Meanwhile, Mrs. Corda-

Large Loan 10 TWA
Under Way; RFC Aid
Also May Be Sought
By the Assoeiated Press

Transcontinental and Western
Air, Inc, was reported yesterday by
an industry spokesman to have
virtually made arrangements to OBJ
tain a sizeable loan from New York
investors.
The company had nothing to say
after board of directors meeting
at which the company's financial
situation was discussed with
Noah Dietrich, representing Howard
Hughes, who owns 46 per cent of
TWA stock through the Hughes Tool
Co., A TWA spokesman did say
he thought something would be
worked out this week.
Following is the situation as out
lined by person familiar with de-
velopments who asked to remain
anonymous:
Mr.. Hughes has worked out ar
rangements under which equitable
Life Assurance Co. and perhaps an
other insurance company will make
a sizeable loan to the airline with
the understanding that one of their
Representatives be put on the TWA
board. Equitable already has lent
TWA $4O,000,000.
Action on the proposal, assuming
that the insurance companies ac-
cept the plan as it now stands, will
be taken by the stockholders at a
meeting in Wilmington, Del. this
week. A change among the top
officials of TWA to meet sug-
Eestion from Equitable is likely.
At the same time, TWA will seek
additional money from the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. RFC Off
cials acknowledged that TWA had
been discussing loan with them.
The figure has been reported at
$40,000,0OO.
The Hughes interest is understood
to have been dominent in working
out the insurance loan plan. Mr.
Hughes 435, 900 shares will be voted
at the Wilmington meeting, it was
said.
TWA lost considerable revenue
while its constellation planes were
grounded during the best flying
months of the year by order of
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton pending safety investigation.
The trouble was further aggravated
by a 26-day strike of pilots in a
demand for higher pay. The pilot
demand will be arbitrated at Chi
cago January 3.
