Psychiotric StudyAsked ForTurk Boy
nv ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, May 10-UP)-Jack Turk, 14-year old model student who was recently acquitted of first degree murder in the death of three-year old Sybil Gurfein, was declared a juvenile del1quent III Jamaica children's court today ana remanded to Manhattan Youth House for psychiatric study until
 Justice of Domestic Relations Court Matthew Diserio explained that after adequate psych1atrlc study he would decide whether the hoy would be remanded immediate. lv to an institution or whether ball would be allowed.
 Grey-haired Defense Attorney James D. c. Murray previously had asked for bail on the grounds that the boys mother, Mrs. Morris Turk, was practically an invalid and that it was believed her health would be greatly improved if she were al- lowed to be with the boy for 8 few days.
 Looked More Cheerful
 Murray also stated that the boys record showed that he was entire ly inoffensive and that he really didn't need anyone to look after him."
 young Jack looked much more cheerful in court today than he dld while standing trial. He had Just had a new haircut, and he was al- most smiling when he walked into the courtroom. :, Murray conceded that young Turk was delinquent in some of his ac. tions in regard to the Gurfein child on the night of her death. The child was strangled and placed in a bath-tub full of water by the boy, who had been hired as a "baby sitter"
 The judge asked Jack if Mur- rays statement was substantially correct.
 "Yes," the boy answered in a very low voice.
 Father Appears Shaky
 The judge also asked him what his name was, and those were the only questions asked during the hearing. :.
 The hearing was held in a small room with only a few people at- tending. The boys father, Morris Turk, was given chair when he appeared slightly shaky while standing beside his son.
 Before the hearing, Turk told reporters that yesterday Jack hac smiled for the first time in 10 weeks and that he, himself, felt very relieved and felt that Judge Peter T. Farrell had conducted g very fair trial in Queens County Court.
 MT. and Mrs. Jack Gurfein, par ents of the slain child, were ir the court building but were mol in the room during the hearing.

 Innocent Tries Paris Dinner Which Cost $1O

 Paris, May 10 - (UP) - Bring your own soap to the Hotel Etats Unis or you don't get clean. Bring your towel or you don't get dry.
 I brought a cake of soap from hotel in New York, and I borrowed towel from my landlady in Lon- don, so I'm all right there. My problem is different. I'm hungry.
 That isn't unusual in Paris where ration cards mean nothing. The black market is in charge of the food, and money seems to be so much tissue paper with pretty pas- tel pictures printed on 1t. Goodness knows I'm not complaining, not with gaunt nt-cheexed Frenchmen on every side who can't even think about entering the restaurants de luxe.

Washington, May 10 = (UP) - The House Postof1ice Committee has recommended a five-cent air mail postage rate.

Cannon Proposes Law
To Require 5 Billion
Yearly Debt Payment
By .the Assoeloted Press

A proposal that Congress by law
require a minimum payment of
5000, 900 600 yearly toward reduce
ing the public debt came today
from Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee.
He told reporters that the legis-
1ators ought to be aiming at chop
ping down the $262, 900 900 900 ma
tional debt rather than talking of
cutting taxes.
The tax-slashing program of
House Republicans. Mr.. Cannon
declared, would mean pushing the
Nations huge debt onto the
shoulders of the next generation.
MIR. Cannon retains his seat in

House, but must relinqllish the Ap-

ship to Representative Tabsr, New
York Republican. MFR. Taber has
declared that Congress can balance
Federal income and spending, cut
the debt by $4,000, ,000, 600 and still
reduce taxes next year.
Leading House Republicans are
proposing a 20 per cert cut in in
diyidual income taxes and a slash
in excise levies. This would amount
to an overall tax cut of $4, 600, ,000,-'
600 to 5000, ,000, 900.
MIR. Cannon told newsmen he will

"Tax cutting now might mean

 During recent weeks the Amer jeans haven't dared put their feet inside the Russian zones. If they do arrest and shootings unfortunately are likely to occur.
 American and British pilots give the Russian zones wide berths be- cause if they fly over them or even close along the zone borders they are apt to be shot at by anti-air- craft or attacked by Russian fighters. An there have been incl dents of over-zealouS Russian pi- lots buzzing Allied airf1elds and zones and engaging in little free gun play too Of course these incl dents fortunately are isolated and should not be permitted to exag- gerate the situation.

 One top ranking American gen. eral said:
 Russia is Russia's worst enemy The stubborn Moscow attitude as we see it here in Germany makes the work of those of us who strive for understanding and cooperation between the East and the West vir- tually impossible. Usually if we reach a compromise it is due to one sided contribution. AS a soldier and one of considerable battle exper- fence I trust Russia and the west never will clash in arms.

Distance
 Best Guard From Bomb

Washington, Aug. 3-(UP)-Two expert evaluation boards, after watching the Bikini atomic bomb tests, reported to President Tru- man today that distance is the best defense" against atomic weap- ons.
 The two groups - the Presidents Civilian Evaluation Board and the Joint Chiefs of Staff Evaluation Commission-said that the under water radioactiWty touched of by the second bomb test at Bikini was potentially far more lethal than the bomb blast itself.
 The civilian board told MT. Tru- man that future wars employing atomic bombs may well destroy na- tions and change present standards of civilization"
 The joint chiefs of staff group said it was too soon to analyze all the implications of the Bikini tests, but 1t was not too soon to examine "the necessity for immediate and intensive research into several uni- que problems posed by the atomic bomb"
 The civilian commission said the tests made clear the need for changes in the size, design and structure-above and below the wa ter line-of all future naval vessels.
 ITO Us who have witnessed the devastating effect of these tests, it is evident that if there is to be any security or safety in the world, war must be eliminated as a means of settling differences among nations" /" the presidents commission reported. It was headed by Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D.-NMD.
 The military board said the poisoning of large volumes of wa- tre" sby the bmob posed major military-naval problem.

Put on Edge
By VIRGIL PINKLEY

Munich - CUP) Some of the bitterest anti-Russian feeling in Eu- rope is to be found among American officers and soldiers in Germany and Austria. This situation doesn't make pleasant reading, but it's true.
 Recent shootings, arrests and the firing on American planes by Red Army soldiers have put nerves more on edge. Trigger fingers are becom- ing bit more itchy. Close contact with Russian soldiers in the occupa- tional zones has not caused grow ing admiration on the part Of Amer ican Doughboys, British Tommles or French Pollus.
 American and British officers have made fair share of attempts to understand and work with Red Army officers.
 Try to Continue Negotiations
 They, like Anglo-American states men, have tried to prevent a break down in negotiations. They ire quently, as James F. Byrnes and Ernest Bevin have done, have re- opened stalemated negotiations. They are desperately eager to get along with the Russians and to try to make the policy among the big powers work.
 Recent visits of American parties in Austria serve as an example of what American officers are up against. Before one party of news paper editors and publishers travel led by train from Vienna to Salz- burg, Gen. Mark Clark told the Rus sian commanding officers, T don't want any incidents, either" but to make doubly certain he sent an en- zine carrying armed troops on the ready ahead of the train.
 This sort of situation among so- called Allies and friends 15 months after the great victory of Allied arms in Europe is indeed surprising, but many similar situations exist. and French off cers complain that normal four power negotiations are slowed up or made almost impossible by virtue of most matters having to be refer red to Moscow by Russian generals and even field marshals.
 They find that the Russian men, tality is not that of western Eu- rope or America. They have discov- cred that the Russians can be ex- asperatingly slow. They have ob- served little tendency by the So- viets to deviate from written agree ments or willingness to meet new conditions until all matters have been handled formally through channels via the Kremlin, which usually requires time.
 Russia Like Chameleon
 They know that Russia pursues different foreign policies with vari- ous countries. Furthermore they have observed that Moscow follows one line as long as it is productive but shifts when the returns fall off These conclusions have come after actual daily physical contact with the Red Army.
 Whereas the British. American and French zones are fairly easy to enter and leave for Allied officers and troops on business or corre- spondents assigned to Germany and Austria, the same is not true of the Russian zones. This even applies tc a considerable degree in Berlin and Vienna where the four powers al,

Clay yHopes For Unity

Berlin, Aug, 3. UP)-Lt.- Gen. Lucius Clay marked the first anniversary of the Potsdam decla- ration yesterday with a statement of hope that with patience and understanding a solution can be found which will make the quad ripartite government the kind vis- ualiZed in it's tion.'
 Clay's statement, couched in guarded optimism, reflected gen. eral opinion among American Mili- tary Government officials that de- spite all difficulties the Potsdam plan for Germany gradually is working out.
 They admitted, however. that it was not yet functioning in the man. ner anticipated when President Truman, Generalissimo Stalin and Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee issued their declaration a year ago.
 Tn spite of major differences which have now developed, Clay said, we have solved equally as difficult problems in the past and now that our positions are clear we have every hope that with patience and understanding a solu- tion can be found which will make the quadripartite government the kind vlsualzed in the creation"
