FORMER WAC FOUND GUILTY OF THEFT; SENTENCE IMPOSED

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 3U. Five years Imprisonment at hard labor and a dishonorable discharge from the Army is the penalty which a United States Military Court imposed on Mrs. Kathleen ash-Bryant, the former WAC cap tain.
 The sentence Wss ordered alter the court found Mrs. Durant guilty on three counts: of having a hand in the theft and embezzlement of one and one-half million dollars worth of jewels belonging to the Hesse family, and of being AWOL from her military post.
 Mrs. Durant, who had been in charge of the Kronberg Castle - which was being used as an Amer Ian officers club when the jewels disappeared-took the verdict stoi- cally.
 ! Her husband, Col Jack Durant and Major David Watson still are awaiting trial on charges of com plicity in the theft.
 In his closing appeal for mercy Mrs. Durants lawyer pleaded that the WAC captain was being made the scapegoat for all the footing done by American soldiers in occu- pied Germany. Thousands of oth- CTS, he said, have done the same thing, It is unjust, he added, to point the finger at this woman and say. You will now pay the penalty for something that the whole world knows that many, many peoples have done with immunity"

FUSHUN, Manchuria, April O.
Russians turned this coal mining
city into another Mukden by strip
ping from its huge collieries and
plants essential machinery and
equipment and leaving this key to
industrial Southern Manchuria vir-
tually dormant.
After the Russians seized the
mines of this Scranton of the
Orient" from surrendered Japa-
nese, the output of vital bituminous
coal from four mines-two of them
open-pit canyons - dropped from
10000 tons daily to 1000 tons a day.
Some evidence of the Russians
stripping was observed by five
American correspondents, the first
to visit this large mining commu-
nifty In many years.
Heavily armed Chinese govern
ment soldiers escorted the CORE
spondents on the rough 3O-mile
truck road from Mukden to Fushun
through territory reported infested
with bandits and Communist troops.
1t. Gen. Chao Kung-wu, COM
mander of the governments SD
Army, which drove the Communists
out Of Fushun 13 days ago, said his
troops were engaging daily in
pitched battles with the Chinese
Reds.
He estimated his forces were op-
posing some 10000 Communists in

said.

cause OF the lack OF food. But in a
matter Of two to three years it
could be made to pay it's own way
through exports of vital coal re-
sources and industry.
Russian Zone Richest.
The Russian zone is the richest
OF all zones with both natural re-
sources in coal and factories and a
food surplus. Thus it is on the
credit side of the German ledger.
The French zone, much smaller
than the other three, also is debit
area for much the same reason as
is the American zone. But it also
could be made self-supporting if it
were tied into the economy of
France as it used to be tied into a
united Germany.
But if the American zone we're
tied into the economy Of the United
States, 1t would have to manufac-
ture textiles and other products
that would compete with goods al
ready being made in America and
1t would involve costly transpor-
tation procedure.
Theoretically the Germans them
selves are paying for the American
food and fuel they are using. but
they are doing so in blocked marks
that are useless without exports.

Chemists al Hopkins
To Phone Heat Signals
Via Infra-Red Eye

BALTIMORE, April 6.-Transmis-
sion of heat signals over telephone
wires from Baltimore to Atlantic

EYE" announced last month by
Johns Hopkins chemists.
The three men who discovered the
super-conducting bolometer, as it
called, said heat emissions would be
picked up in Baltimore, then tele-
phoned and reproduced for the ma
tional meeting of the American
Chemical Society in the Atlantic
City Convention Hail.
The bolometer. which can op-
crate in total darkness, records tiny
quantities of heat and the instru-
ment variations can be transformed
into sound and images.
DR.. Donald H. Andrews, DR.. War
rem De Sorbo and DR.. Robert M
Milton, the discoverers, said a
heated iron plate and man would
be used IN Tuesdays experiment.
DR.. Andrews will describe the ex-
pertinent from Baltimore and his
words will be piped into convention
hall by loudspeaker.
Heat signals will first be picked
up from the iron plate and when
the bolometer starts functioning, a
high pitched whistle will be heard
over the loudspeaker. This sound
will then be translated into an
image on scanning device.
Only sound will be used in the
experiment on a man. A turning
mirror will aim the extremely small
heat signals from a man 100 feet
away into the bolometer's "eye."
These will produce a series OF
clicks.
The chemists said heat pictures
OF man, automobile and other OBJ
jects-in darkness, if necessary
could be recorded on a wax cylin-
der and nlaVe6 hack for st,lrv

The Russians added new twist
in denuding Fushun. After evacu-
ating the city at a time Chinese
Communists could come in, the
Soviets left key group of Russians
in the city to continue operating
mines, creating ticklish situation
for government forces.
Correspondents saw the world S
largest open-pit coal mine. Only a
few power shovels and coal cars-all
often idle-could be seen in the huge
ditch. The pit, gouged out like a
canyon, is Az miles long, five
eighths of a mile wide and $50 feet
deep.
At the Fushun power plant, work.
men showed correspondents where
5 of IL mammoth boilers had been
removed. Also taken were eight
generators, including two Of $4,000
kilowatts. Workmen said the Rus
slams smashed huge holes in the
plants walls to remove the ma
chinery.
Gen. Chao reported % Russians,
who live in compound across the
street from his headquarters, refused
to yield direction of the coal mines
until they received instructions
from their government"
He said the Russians maintain
that since the mines are the prop
erty Of the Changchung railroad
placed under joint Sino-Soviet ad-
miniStration by the Sino-Soviet
treaty-the question should be set
tied by negotiation.
The Chinese contend the mines
were the property of the japanese
government and as such should 20

Gen. Chao said he had not per-
mitted the removal of any equip
ment from mines or factories since
his troops took F'uShun.

DecentraIized Reich
Is Seen Costing u. 5.
S2o0,o00,OOO Yearly
By Yves GoIIooher

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
BERLIN, April 6.-The contin-
ued decentralized rule of Ger
many by the Allies is likely to
cost American taxpayers $780,
100000 a year in the Judgment
of authorities here.
The figure is the estimated budget
cost of supply the American zone
with food and oil sufficient to main
tain a subsistence standard of hv-
ing.
France is the chief opponent of
Capitalization, and there is no sign
that she is receding from her posi-
ton.
1t Gen. Lucius D. Clay and his
military government staff have been
making the utmost effort to slash
this American zone budget, pruning
such essentials as school books,
films, ETC., for re-educating the Ger
mans, and confining the budget
purley to food and transport ne
cessary to maintain a minimum
standard of living. But 5000, 0,OO0, 900
remains the rock-bottom figure of
the project.
Lacking in Natural Resources.
Gen Clay said: THE American
zone has never been self-sufficient
by itself. 1t is lacking in natural
resources except wood and potash.
1t connot raise enough food to sup
port itself, and most of its industries
were of the assembly Line type with
raw material coming from other
zones"
With a decentralized Germany
these raw materials are not coming
from other zones. AS result the
American zone has a permanent
deficit that must be made up by
America or the Germans will face
starvation.
Under the industry level-a low
one-recently adopted by the four
occupying powers, Germany was en-
visaged as an economic whole and
made self-supporting with an esti-
mated living standard of about
1900 calories daily for all four zones.
The free exchange of goods under
a central Allied control would put
thousands now idle in the Ameri-
can zone to work manufacturing
from incoming raw materials, pro-
viding the necessary exports to pay
for needed supplies and exchanging
the finished products for food from
the Russian zone and coal from the
British zone.
Small TrickIe of Goods.
But the French stand blocks such
a central control, and the current
makeshift exchanges from one zone
to another are providing an insig-
nificant trickle of goods.
France points out that she was
not at the Potsdam conference
where Russia, Britain and America
worked cut the Allied occupation
policy for Germany: therefore she
is not bound by its decisions. Many
Americans believe the omission of
FreNce from the meeting was a
major diplomatic mistake.
Meanwhile, the question of Ger
many has become a hot domestic
political issue in France, and the
leaders of the various political par
ties are not in mood to compro-
mise before the elections next June,
II then. -
But the longer the German zones
remain as separate countries" the
more 1t is going to cost American

Record Enro|Iments

Student enrolment in Negro COL
1eges and universities has reached an
all-time high, with 108 institutions
reporting a total of 43,868 resident
students during the fall terms of
