Personal Ambitions Block
Training Bill, Atherton SAYS

Charges that some members of
Congress are putting personal am
bitions ahead of national security
in their efforts to block passage of
a universal military training bill be-
fore this years elections were made
yesterday by Warren H Atherton,
past national commander of the
American Legion.
Reports have come from Con-
gress that the War Department has
asked that action on a universal
military training bill be put over
until fall at least, but these reports
are completely without foundation, =
Mr.. Atherton said. The War De-
partment has not asked for delay
and Secretary of War Patterson s
denial of the report puts the legis-
lation squarely in the lap of Con-
gress."
Mr.. Atherton added: These Con-
gressmn are placing their own elec-
ton or reelection above and beyond
the security of the United States and
the peace of the world"

VANCOUVER, April 27-City de-
tectives and Royal Canadian
mounted police attempted to piece
together today a vague series of
episodes in the mysterious disap-
pearance in mid-Pacific of Henri
Bar, French millionaire, from
aboard the Vancouver bound S. S.
Samwater.
The problem of what happened to
the wealthy director of the Banque
Franco-C Chinese who sailed from
Shanghai with a s25O,000 fortune in
antiques, art treasures and jade,
rested on three possibilities:
l. Henri Bar fell overheard during
rough weather the night of April IT,.
2. He jumped However, he was
described as contented by passen-
gers and was planning his 60th
birthday party aboard ship for the
day after he vanished.
3. He was robbed, slain and
thrown oversize.
In a statement to police, the first
mate Of the Samwater expressed the
opinion it was unlikely man could
fall overheard under the conditions
existing the night of Mr.. Bars dis
appearance.
Yesterday the ship was searched
for Mr.. Bars body and four valuable
white jade necklaces which may
have been on his person.

In Ho|dups Of Liquor
And JeweIry Stores

Armed bandits took more than
$1,000 in holdups of a jewelry store
at BIT Tenth street NV. and a
liquor store at Eleventh and N
streets NV. last night, police re-
ported.
Calloyan Antranik, SO, of 1919 L
street NV. manager of the jewelry
store, told detectives two colored
men entered his store at 7:05 pm.
and asked to see ring in the
window. As he turned, he said,
they both jabbed the muzzles of
nickle-plated revolvers in his back
and one of them said, This is a
holdup!"
The victim told police the men
took approximately $4,000 from an
open safe in the store and fed on
foot after forcing him into toilet
in the rear of the store, and threat
ening to kill him If he made an
outcry.
Lone Bandit Gets $500.
A few hours later, a lone colored
man. armed with pistol, held up
the Victor liquor store, 1248 Elev-
enth street NV, and escaped with
more than $3.50. Manus LEVITT, 40,
owner of the store, told police the

ment at 16 D street Sc.
Mr.. Hopkins fired twice at the
men in the ensuing tussle. before
they took away his gun and shot
him. He suffered only flesh wound,
police said.
1t. Russell A. Hawes, in charge OF
the Alexandria Police Detective
Bureau, said hospital authorities
called police as soon as the men ap-
peared. They claimed to have been
shot by another colored man, known
only as "Stovepipe," in a crap game
at Gum Springs. Fairfax County,
Va. A check with Fairfax police
failed to verify the statement, 1t.
Hawes said, and the men were
turned over to Washinton police on
suspicion of implication in the Hop
kins shooting.
One of the men was wounded IN
the head near the ear and the
other suffered bullet wound in the

May Go Even Higher.
Thus, Washington consumers may
eventually pay cents more for
milk. which now sells for Is cents
a quart for home delivery and %
cents for two quarts at stores.
Should Congress eliminate all food
subsidies as now proposed by the
House in an amendment to the Price
Control Act. the price of milk could
rise even higher.
A spokesman for the producers in
this area pointed out last night that
the price of milk to consumers here
has advanced only seven per cent
since January, 1941. while he claimed
that the average price increase for
all other foods has gone up A per
cent
He estimated that if demands of
producers and handlers were granted
and Congress ended subsidies, the
resultnt scent increase in a quart
of milk would represent AZ per
cent increase in price since 1941-
still below his estimated rise in all
food prices.
Problems Increase.
This new development, meanwhile
further adds to the problems of the
Agriculture Department. now con-
Isidering the producers request, and
the Office of Economic Sterilization
which recently announced inten-
tions to hold down the price of
dairy products through increases in
subsidies to producers in May and
June.
The department reported last

Schuschnigg Urges
Elimination Of -Four
Occupation Zones
By the Assoeiofed Press

ROME, April 27.-Kurt Schusch-
nigg, former chancellor of Austria,
declared today his country's rehabil-
itation depended on eliminating the
present four occupation zones, which
make economic interchange impos-
sible," and early withdrawal of oc-
cupation forces.
The peace and well-being 6f
Europe, he added, depends on estab-
fishing a security system which will
prevent great powers from threaten
ing small countries as Germany
menaced Austria after Hitler came
to power"
Was Captive Of Hitler.
In Paris at the conference of For
eign Ministers, the United States Is
repeatedly urging consideration of a
treaty with Austria to restore her
independence and open the way for
withdrawal of occupation troops.
Mr.. Schuschnigg, who was made
captive of Hitler in 1888 when
the Germans seized Austria, de-
clared Austrian economy was Grip
pied because "the Russians occupy
the best agricultural areas"
Unlike the British and Amer
leans, who bring their food in, the
Russians and the French live off
the country. That means that large
amounts of food are not reaching
the Austrian people"
Appreciates Relief Food.
Expressing appreciation for aid to
hungry Austrians by relief agencies,
especially the Americans who saved
many from starvation" Mr..
Schuschnigg said the food situa-
tion was extremely serious and
growing worse.
A hungry nation, he said, is little
likely to achieve political recovery,
"the more so when neither before
nor after 1918 were we ever truly a
nation"
Mr.. Schuschnigg said the future
Austria must be governed demo-
cratically' with a central govern
ment not too strong to infringe on
Austrian states rights.
Il am firmly convinced Austria
will be able to live as a small nation
provided her economic situation
can be worked out and provided
no one great power in Europe is
permitted to threaten and strangle
her small neighbors," he said.

Tacit Agreement with Russia.
The Russians were said to be will
ing to permit Italy to have a navy
with possibly four cruisers of the
heaviest category. The reduction In
their demands apparently was in
return for tacit agreement to for
get about ships that the United
States and Britain gave Russia in
anticipation of dividing up the fleet.
1t was agreed that all but few
Italian submarines would be sunk,
with the remainder to be kept for
experimental purposes. British For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin was
said to have insisted on having the
submarines sunk.
Ruhr Discussion Delayed.
A claim of Brazil for one Italian
warship to replace Brazilian ship
sunk by an Italian submarine was
considered briefly, it was reported.
The matter will probably be re-
ferred to the committee on experts.
Mr.. Bevin asked that Greece be
given a cruiser to replace one sunk
before the war, and it was indicated
that the experts would agree.
There cas- no discussion at the
third session on Frances proposals
to add interna tionalization to the
Ruhr and detachment of Rhineland
from Germany to the conference
agenda. reliable reports said.
Mr.. Bevin was reported to have
thrown snag into discussions of
the Ruhr by insisting that Belgian,
Dutch and Luxembourg representa-
tives be permitted to sit in on
such negotiations as spokesmen, for
nations which suffered heavily
through German aggression.
The Russians, contrary to earlier
reports, were not objecting to addi-
ton of the Ruhr to the agenda.
but were opposed to expanding the
scope of discussions beyond repre-
sentatives of the United States,
Britain. France and Russia, in
formants said.
The report from four-power
commission of inquiry on the
Trieste and Yugoslav boundary is
sues was not ready for submission
and British delegates repeatedly
asked that colonial questions be
deferred until Mr.. Bevin can con-
fer with dominions officials.
Mr.. Bevin was to fly to London
tomorrow for a cabinet meeting

conferences with South African,
