One Count Dropped

Frankfurt, Germany, Aug. 90
R-The prosecution concluded to-
day its case against Mrs. Kathleen
Nash Durant, charged with larceny
and cmbezzlement of the Kromberg
jewel collection. The m litary
court granted the defense a three
week recess TO line up its witnesses.
The court threw out conspiracy
charge against the WAC captain,
approving a defense contention that
evidence failed to support it.
Prosecution attorneys said the
War Deparf ent was prepared to
send wi'eses for the defense by
air from the United States next
week.
The defense has asked for at least
six witnesses from the United States.

officials al TT. Sheridan. III. The

These Honored Dead: Army Describes
Reburial Program For CT Casualties

Fort Bragg, Aug. 29.-Of interest
TO the relatives of the 328,OO0 Amer
leans who were war casualties is the
War Departments program for the
permanent burial CT those who lost
their lives overseas.
The War Department, through the
Quartermaster General, is committed
to carry out the wishes of relatives
within four choices Of final inter-
mert, including the digrified. rev.
erent return of war dead and pro-
vision for their burial VI the United
States.
The Army is sparing no effort to
Identify positively the dead of World
War ii. and reverent care is taken
OF all remains. No remains will be
returned to this country until the
government is absolutely sure OF
lido tfcation.
In most cases, identification tags
or papers have solved the problem
quickly and easily. and in our 208
temporary World War III cemeteries
there are 240.483 identified and H.
572 unidentified remains. The total
number Of isolated graves of which
the locations are knovr Is 1925,
including 1880 identified and g.
4O5 unidentified bodies. There are
an additional estimated 1925 un-
located isolated graves throughout
the world for total maximum num-
Der Of 29l.895 remains. The bodies
OF thousands Of other war dead.
NASTY those who died at sea, are not
recoverable.
The work Of identifying the I'm
known dead will continue for years.
No case Is officially closed, even
though there seems to be no possible
solution. and each case record re-

Washington, Aug. 29.-(P)- OPh
clUng today to its schedule for re-
storing meat price ceilings Sept. Q.
despite the 18th hour snarl that keep,

When the new schedules are post
ed, however, they will average about
IL cents Il pound higher for beef

ceilings. Eut they'll still be below
current costs.
OPA and the Agriculture Depart
ment agreed on those estimates after
differing sharply on what ceilings to
clamp on the livestock market.

The Clio cost of living committee
today labeled this action as a climax
to "a long series OF incidents il
which Andersen has acted as mouth
piece fer prof;tccrs."
In a statement issued by Chair
man John Thornton, the committee
said American living standards have
been dealt "a new and disastrous
blow" and added:
1.-The country has right to know
whether the President stands behind
Anderson's decision"
The cabinet officer himself had
pointed to what he called an
alarming" liquidation of livestock
during the period of no controls and
asserted in a statement:
THE whole situation clearly en-
phasizes the urgent need for price
levels which will be a stimulus for
future production, rather than levels
which would impede production"

but photographs of individual graves
cannot be used. With very little
equipment and research, a firm could
offer to send individual photos OF
graves to the next Of kin. A sympa-
thetic letter would request full infor-
matte: on the deceased-name.r rank.
serial number, general location, etc.
That's all that would be needed to
run eff thousands of faxed photos,
using studio grave with standard
white cross, or Star of David mark
ar, and interchangeable name plates.
A major snag u the program has
been unavailability of steel for cas-
kets. Had caskets been ready for
shipment TO Pearl Harbor and Bel
GUM in July, as s.heduled, the first
remains would have been returned
by mid-September. AS il is. delay
until the end of this year appears
likely.
The remains will travel t,-der cs-
cort at all times. They will come to
this country in ships similar to hos
pital ships. From ports of entry.
they will be sent by rail TO fifteen
distribution points in rcconvertcd
hospital cars carrying go to 66 de-
ceased per car. From the distribu-
ton points TO the f',al resting place
designated by next Of kin, the re-
mains will be under military escort.
Flags will be displayed on the cas-
kets at all times and all handling will
be done with dignity ard reverence
