Mistake Frees Son
OF Iceland President

NEW YORK, July ? (NANA -
Bjorn SveinnsSon Bjornsson, son of
Iceland's President, Syeinn Bjorns-
son, who fought with Hitler's elite
SIS troops against Russia and later
broadcast anti-Allied propaganda to
Iceland, has been released by mis-
take" from the Danish Jail where
he was awaiting trial for high
treason.
Bjornsson was freed by a police
official. who claims to have mistaken
a voice on the telephone giving him
the illegal release order for that OF
his superior. 1t is believed that the
prisoner escaped TO Sweden anc
thence to Iceland, Aftonbladet OF
Stockholm reports.
The coming trial of Biornsson is
said to have been causing consider
able concern to the Danish foreign
ministry. The government hao
charged him with felony TOWARD
his sovereign" Christian x, who was
King of Iceland as we'll as of Den
mark at the time of Bjornsson's pro.
Nazi activities. BjornSson, however
claimed immunity from Danish
courts because Iceland has since be-
come an independent republic. His
accidental release relieves Danish
officials of the knotty legal prob
lens involved.

Express Starts Moving
AS New York Strike Ends
BY the Assccioted Press

NEW YORK, July 2.-Some 10000
freight handlers of the Railway
Express Agency yesterday voted to
end their flve-day walkout, and
movement of tiedup rail and air
shipments starts today, the company
said.
This has been sweeping victory
and we have won concession on
practically every point" Adolph j.
Mazanec, chairman of the New York
district, Brotherhood Of Railway
Clerks, AFI, said.
The company said that although
movement of the backlog of freight
iamming terminals and railroad cars
is beginning today, the embargo on
all express shipments in and out of
the New York City area cannot be
lifted for a day or two
The embargo was ordered after the
men walked out in a dispute over
working rules governing night shifts,
overtime for Sunday work and the
division Of work between drivers and

Wedemeyer Return Seen
As Prelude to Marshall Shift

! SHANGHAI, July 2 (Pl.-Reports
that 1t. Gen. A. C. Wedemeyer is
returning to China were regarded
| by many observers here today as
possibly prelude to the return
home of Gen. Marshall. American
envoy, who has labored for months
/ to achieve peace IN this divided
land.
Observers based their uncon-
firmed conclusion on the SuppoSi-
ton that Gen. Wedemeyer woulG
not have been returned to China
merely to command American
Army forces-since these are now
a mere handful of men.
And by virtue of his experience ir
China and his good standing with
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek and
other Chinese leaders, Gen. Wede
meyer is considered perhaps better
qualified than any one else to as
sumo Gen. Marshalrs delicate task
or, If Gen. Marshall remains, to
assist the special envoy.
Reports that Gen. Wedemeyer is
returning to his Army command
also dispose of long standing rumors
that he would return as Ambassa dor
to China, post vacant since AM
bsssador Patrick Hurley's resigna-
ton, November 27, 1945. Presum-
ably no Ambassador has been
named in order not to detract from
Gen. Marshall's Importance in Chi
nese eyes.
1t Is believed here, however, that
if Gen. Marshall should return
home and Gen. Wedemeyer should
assume his peacemaking role, an
Ambassador might be appointed.

OF the project. Further, the Army
Air Forces-which cannot be said
to be eager to perpetuate the i'm
portance or prestige of sea power
will do the bombing, and the Navy
will deliberately position the target

give effects varying from probable
destruction to negligible damage

ALI this has the ring of being
reasonably thorough, and quite
clearly it is not going to be an exclu-
sive Navy show, so that If the sea
power participants should tend to
overlook one or two disconcerting
facts, their air power colleagues or
the civilian atomic scientists

certainly be sufficiently alert and
informed to correct any mistaken
impressions. In the circumstances,
assuming that Operation Cross

officially planned, there does not
seem to be much need for the sort

Planned to Be Thorough

Because "it seems unwise to expect
a service branch to preside over
ceremony which may result in its
own funeral" Senator Mcmahon,
chairman of the Senate's Special
Committee on Atomic Energy, feels
that the President should set up an
independent commission of civilian
scientists to supervise, observe and
report on the forthcoming atom
versus-f1eet tests in the Pacific. At
first glance this suggestion would
appear to have considerable merit.
Actually, however, when thought is
given to the official plans for the
portentous experiment, 1t is hard to
see why such an arrangement should
be necessary.
To begin with, as was emphasized
a few weeks ago in formal state
mert by Vice Admiral Blandy, who
will have overall command of the
tests, the whole operation t"Opera-
ton Crossroads is to be "a joint
effort in every sense Of the word, ;
with Army, Navy and civilian scien-
tific personnel working together as
a single task force" to carry it out

being on hand as special observers

Housing Program
FROM the Chicago journal Of Commerce.

FROM the chicago Journal OF Commerce.
The best way to get the housing the
country urgently needs is to cut con-
struction costs. Ceiling prices won't
reduce the expense of building dwellings
and instead of planning $4,000 houses
for veterans who can't pay that price
the Government should pay more atten-,
ton to making 5000 and 5000 units
possible.
According to reports from Washing
ton. the Department of Commerce is
preparing to tackle the costs problem
and, If Congress makes funds available,
will move to eliminate seasonal fluctua-.
lions in building, Anticipated building
codes and restrictive agreements be-
tween unions and builders
Department officials hope through re-
search to develop nonfreezing concrete
and to foster other innovations in build
ing materials which would permit all
weather construction. It is suggested
that with building trades workers en-.
ployed the year round an annual wage
might be worked out, thus lowering the
present high hourly wage rates and in
turn bringing down the cost per unit Of
housing. The annual wage would be
achieved by voluntary action in the
building industry and not be imposed
by law.

Behind the Crisis Over Juvu

The way the Russian and Ukrain-
ian representatives have conducted
the Indonesian case before the
Security Council is as surprising as
it is disquieting. They have alike
exacerbated and expanded mat
ter that had been regarded as a
minor episode into an issue with
highly contentious and explosive
possibilities. This has obviously been
done deliberately for reasons which
far transcend the Indonesian case,
considered in its specific and tech
nical aspects. Therefore, no matter
how the case itself is ultimately dis
posed of by the Council-and, with
the United States opposed to it, the
Soviet appeal for a commission OF
inquiry will almost certainly be re-
jected-the larger consequences will
remain and may contribute notably
to worsening the general interna-
tional situation.
The original charge brought by
Mr.. Manuilsky, delegate Of the
Ukrainian Soviet Republic to the
Security Council, was that British
troops in Indonesia had been acting
unwarrantably He did not contest
I the fact that they were properly
there under the directive OF the
Inter Allied Military Authority
What he did claim was that, being
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-02-13

there under orders to disarm the
Japanese forces and rescue Dutch
civilian internees, they had exceeded
their orders by fighting Indonesian
insurgents to restore Dutch rule and
had used japanese troops to effect
their aims.
Mr.. Manuilsky pleaded his case
in rather peculiar fashion. A large
part of his argument consisted in
reading copious press clippings and
editorial comment, chiefly from
British and other left-wing publ
cations, most of which dealt less
with the case In point than with
criticism or denunciations of Brit
ish, Dutch and other colonial i'm
perialisms everywhere. At the time
this seemed irrelevant, and Mr..
Manuilsky's manner was so mild that
observers tended to think he was
either inept or seeking to shelve the
case in cloud of generalities:
However, when the Russian repre-
sentative, Mr.. Vishinsky, took the
stand he quickly showed that Man
uilsky's prelude was part of major
diplomatic play. Not only did the
Russian prosecutor make the most
sweeping and bitter charges against
the conduct of the British in
Indonesia; he likewise asserted
the right of the Council to take up
the cause of the Indonesian in
surgents, although under the UNO
Charter this is a domestic matter
with which the Council is not con-
cerned. If Vishinsky's claim were
conceded, unrest and disturbances
anywhere might become a matter
for UNO investigation and possible
action. Meanwhile Moscow has
again set itself up as the champion
OF oppressed colonial peoples"
throughout the world, as 1t has con-
sistently tried to do ever since the
San Francisco Conference, thus
using UNO as the sounding board
for its policy aimed at disrupting
the British and other colonial
empires.

This Changing World
By Constantine Broyn

helping hand the situation in France
was likely to 60 from bad to worse.
Gouin selected Blum, the father OF
the French new DEAL" to plead
Frances case before the American pub
lie.
Blum. who since 1886 has been anxious
to visit America, quickly accepted the
mission. But his own financial ad-
visers cautioned him that although he
would be well received in the United
States he must show something tangi-
BILE regarding Frances political stability
besides the usual guarantees for re-
payment of loan.
According to reports from France,
the republic does not need actual cash
for her recovery. She needs food and
clothing, but more than anything else
she needs industrial equipment to set
her factories back to work The French
workmen are idle and hungry Under
these conditions they can become the
prey of subversive agents.
At present the French government
is engaged in cutting its overextended
bureaucracy to the bone. For instance,
all French diplomatic, military and
economic agencies throughout the world
will have to cut their personnel by at
least Is per cent. A similar drastic cut
is being contemplated in the various
government and municipal departments
throughout the country and in. the over
seas possessions.
De Gaulle has abandoned his plan
to build UP an imposing army which
many politicos in France felt might be
used TO insure the generals grip on
the country. The French government
is said to contemplate reducing it's
military and naval establishments be-
cause it realizes France cannot hope,
under present conditions, to have a
force which would make her into a
f1rst-class military power. The new
French cabinet is said to prefer a good
military police to an extensive army
force which could not cope with the
existing forces in other European coun-
tries. Germany, which for centuries
has been Frances most dangerous
neighbor, Is disarmed and crushed and
is expected to be unable to rise for a
very long time. The other bordering
states, including Spain. do not con-
stitute threat to France. which is a
member Of the United Nations and
could always appeal to the UNO If she
were threatened by her immediate
neighbors. In the event of a threat by
Russia, she could not defend herself,
regardless of how strong a force she
might possess
These considerations have determined
the French government to cut drasti-
caly not only into its bureaucracy but
also into its armament And as soon as
these measures are being put into effect,
Blum expects to come to Washington
in quest of loan. He will then pos
sess tangible guarantees that France
intends to put her house in order.
