Europa Solvoge, Repair
To Take at Least Year

LIE HAvRE, Dec. 10 (P.-The
49, ,746-ton Liberte, once the German
Europa and Frances greatest ocean
liner, lay storm wrecked on q har-
Dor mudbank today while maritime
authorities mapped salvage and re-
pair work expected to take at least
year, if the vessel can be saved at
all.
She was down about 40 feet, her
engine rooms flooded, high tide
splashing her first deck, and listing
five degrees, as the harbor quieted
after an 80-mile gale.
Jules Moch, French Minister of
Public Works and Transport who
inspected the Liberte yesterday, said
he hoped but was not sure she
could be saved.
"In any case" he added, "It will
be a year before she can be re-
turned to service"
He explained that repair would
be hampered by the. fact that LIE
Havre's only drydock., war damaged,
still needed reconstruction itself.

'SO96 Of Veterans Here
Can Pay $1,000 for
Home, Survey Shows

More than 80 per cent Of Wash
ington veterans are able to pay
more than 5000 for homes and q
higher percentage have indicated
ability to pay more than $50
month rent, according to recent
survey conducted at the Veterans
Information Center, Fourteenth and
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
Waldron E. Leonard, director Of
the center, revealed findings of his
survey at a meeting last night Of
Lincoln Post No. II, American Le-
gion headquarters, 1903 K street NV.
The survey, Mr.. Leonard said,
was comprised OF a poll Of SIT vet
erans who visited the center. Those
polled were not necessarily in the
market for homes or apartments,
and represented "a cross section of
the ability to pay" he said.
$1,000 to $500 Bracket.
Highest percentage of veterans,
1873, said they could afford homes
ranging from $1,000 to $500. while
21.7 per cent said they could pay
as much as $4,000 and 6.2 per cent
indicated ability to pay more than
$4,000 for homes, the survey
showed. Only 2.5 per cent said they
were not able to pay as much as
$4,000.
I, OF 2o4 veterans queried about
rents, 14.3 per cent state they could
afford to pay as much as 500 a
month; 20 per cent, $40 to $85; 22.5
per cent, $50 to $40; 24.9 per cent,
$50 to $50; 14.3 per cent, $40 to $50,
and per cent, below $40.
Asked about rents that include
payment of utilities, 31.8 per cent of
the ex-servicemen said they could
pay from $84 to 500 month; 24.6
per cent, $40 to $85; 1858 per cent,
$50 to $40; ia per cent, $50 to $50;
AZ per cent, $40 to $50, and II per
cent, less than $40.
Mr.. Leonard said first results of
the survey would be turned over to
the District Commissioners for study,
and that the check will continue at
the center.
Results Polls Differ.
The survey differed drastically
from poll of 5000 veterans sub
mitted In July to the Commissioners
Emergency Housing Committee,
which reported that 615 per cent of
District veterans could not afford to
pay more than $4,000 for home or
more than $50 month for rent.
John Ihlder, chief of the National
Capitol Housing Authority and a
member Of the group, said the COM
mittee changed the 61.5 figure to 35
per cent, however, after considering
building costs in this area.
Mr.. Leonard said he was mot too
surprised" at the survey results, and
stated that many veterans are
desperate for housing. They know
now that If they are to have homes,
they must pay high prices"
He also attributed expressions of
willingness to pay high prices to
wider understanding of building
COSTS pointing out that many vet
Grams in previous polls based ideas
of property value on prewar levels
II was surprised, however, to see
willingness to pay such high rents"
he declared. "I think the veteran
who is able to pay as much as $40,
S85 or 500 a month for rent should
give serious consideration to buy
ing" he added.

important But contrary TO this
belief, the atomic bomb will never
outmode manpower, he asserts.
Machines MY be helpful. but a
foot army will always be essential.
Col. Cleary expressed the belief
that the next war will be fought In
this hemisphere.
Critics say that compulsory mill
tary training and q career army
might lead US into dictatorship
and imperialistic attitudes. On the
other hand. soldiers themselves
heartily endorse training. Col.
Cleary stated that there is never
any regimentation OF any kind IN
an American Legion meeting or
other veteran groups.
Col. Cleary concluded by saying,
compulsory military training
would give the soldier a chance to
maintain and uphold his citizen
ship. 1t would lead to ideal world

a soldier going into training

three years, going into some kind

soldier would get a solid year OF
training and 1t would not be neces-

battle with only three or four
months OF training, as was some
times done In World War II.

All three will be taken to Ham

It could not be learned whether
the former German financier would
be provided with escort after his
arrival in Hamburg.
Fritsche, former deputy Propa-

Hamburg yesterday and expressed
hope she would be there when he ar
rived.
Anton Pfeiffer, chief denazifica-
ton officer for Bavaria, announced
he had been instructed to give the
three guarantee of "safe conduct, +"
protecting them from arrest by Ger
man denazification courts in the
American zone.
Defense counsel said the trio
would leave at an unannounced time
and would follow a secret route, all
in the same automobile. Just what
type Of escort would be provided was
not announced.
The protection granted the, three
from prosecution by courts In the

Bavaria, who in turn got them from
