FINDS COURAGE
TO TELL WIFE THEIR
SAVINGS ARE CON E

FAYETTEVILLE, May IS. -W.D
T. A brutally beaten army veteran
found the courage today to tell
Ibis young wife how four men held
him at gun point for 10 hours Of
beer drinking, then robbed him
of his 1900 'love nest fund"
Raymond Zawisza had been
afraid to tell his wife that their
life savings were gone. She is ex-
pecting their second child at any
time.
He had boarded the money to
buy a home for his family here
after his recent discharge from
Fort Bragg. Yesterday his wife
Igave him the savings to put in a
bank.
In a tavern or the way to the
bank, he met four men whose
names he did not know, except
that one was called Gene"
His new friends lured him into
a car, Zawisza said, and showed an
Army pistol into his ribs. For 10
hours they drove around the coun
ty, eating and drinking at one
beer joint after, another and max
ing him pay the check. They tried
to force him to hand over the
money.
Officers followed his trail by the
big bills he used to pay for beer
- bills out of his 'love nest fund.-"
Finally his companions took him
into the country, Zawisza said,
ripped off part of his clothes, and
took the rest of the money after
beating him.
Constable Andrew johnson said
he had arrested four men, but had
not filed charges in connection with
the case. The men were listed as

MOSCOW. Mar. 15.-The tert OF
Secretary of State MarshGlPs state
ment in the four po,Der foreign
ministers council today on terri
tortal reorganization inside Ger
many:
The Postdam agreement provides
that the administration of affairs
in Germany should be directed to-
ward the decentralizing OF the po-
litical structure and the development
Of local responsibility so that local
self-government should be restored
throughout Germany on democra-
tic principles and that representa-
tive and elective principles should
be introduced into regional, pro-
vincial and state administrations
as rapidly as progress in local self
government should justify it.
It is the view Of the United States
that when common objectives have
been agreed upon by the four oc-
cupying powers, the absence Of any
agreement necessary to the imple-
mentation of these decisions, far
from preventing one or more Of
the occupying powers from doing
what they can singly or jointly to
advance the common detectives, i'm
posed upon them the obligation to
do their utmost to achieve the maxi
mum Of progress in the direction
of the common objective.
Pursuant to these Potsdam de-
cisions, elections have been held in
the United States zone during the
year 1916 in small towns, counties,

Ex-PresideniiaI Yacht
kayflower Awaits
Repairs After Fire
By III. A,.esiat.d Pr..s

CEDAR POINT, Md. Mar. s.
Scared by fire for the third time
in her 50-year colorful history, the
former presidential yacht Mayfiower
lay at anchor tonight in Chesapeake
Bay awaiting repairs before being
towed back to Baltimore.
The Coast Guard reported lack of
steam aboard the once sleek vessel
prevented hoisting of the anchor.
A tug brought parts to the stricken
ship preparatory to bringing it back
to Baltimore.
One Canadian seaman, identified
by the Navy as Robert Telloquin of
Quebec, was trapped when a boiler
backfire ignited oil in the bilges
and wrecked the fireroom last night
as the Mayflower headed down
Chesapeake Bay on seal-hunting
expedition to the Arctic.
Seaman Telloquin was still miss
ing when a corvette brought his 16
shipmates, all uninjured, to Balti-
more.
Flames Shoot Up 30 Feet.
The fire spread to the cabin area,
fed by oil from fuel tanks overflow
ing on the main deck. With flames
shooting 80 to 40 feet into the air,
the 22-man Canadian crew aban-
don2d ship and went aboard a pass
ing tug.
A firefighting boat crew from the
Navy's Patuxent River Air Station
here, commanded by 1t. Comdr. G..
L. Skidmore, boarded the Mayflower.
Six members of the Mayf1ower crew
joined them and they extinguished
the fire with liquid foam after
10-hour fight. +.
The boiler blast occurred as the
old snip reached the mouth of the
Potomac River.
Damaged by Fire in 1920.
The Mayfower was damaged by
a 100000 fire at Washington in
1920. but later was reconditioned as
a presidential yacht. Eleven years
later she again burned and sank at
her pier at the Philadelphia Naval
Yard, and soon afterward the vessel
was sold to a Chicagoan for SIG, 900.
In 1943 the vessel was refitted for
wartime escort duty, and her present
skipper, Capt. Frank M. Shaw of
Montreal, later purchased her from

Turkey, as well as Greece, long
has counted more on support from
the United States and Britain than
on her own military strength to
keep the Dardanelles out of Rus
sian control.
Although militarily the strongest
nation in the Middle East, Turkey
could not defend the Dardanelles
more than a few weeks against a
Russian attack, according to mill
tary experts here.
100000 in Turkish Army.
The Turkish army, estimated at
about 100000 soldiers, has been on
a full mobilized status for seven
years. 1t could, however, under
battle conditions be expanded to
100000, organized into IS divisions
Best available information is that
Turkey has only two armored divi-
sions. The armor is a mixture OF
American Sherman tanks, German
Mark Tvs and British Churchills.
It's artillery is mostly British .75's
But it is limited because almost all
ammunition must be imported.
One of it's most glaring weak
nesses is its transport which is
mostly horsedrawn. The absence OF
good roads limits mobility.
The bulk of the Turkish army
however, Is made up of cavalry and
infantry whose morale is said to be
exceptionally high. For centuries
the Turks have been known as good
fighters, no matter how thcy are
armed. a- - ~
$50 Planes in Airforce. ,a
Turkey has practically no feet
and its air force numbers about
450 planes.
The country's defense against air
attack is very thin.
While Turkey has attempted to
maintain its army on War-footing,
her military strategists-realizing
weakness in mobility and heavy
weapons - have concentrated on
erecting prepared de1enSeS 10 meet
any invasion.
The Turks maintain strong forces
along the mountainous frontier with
Russia in the Northeast.
While the Army has taken mill
tary preparations, the government
has intensified internal vigilance to
thWart any Communist attempt to
bore from within. The Communist
Party is illegal in Turkey and the
ban is vigorously enforced. News
papers are prohibited from printing
what the government considers
Communist propaganda.
The government has turned down
Russian proposals for conference
of Black Sea powers only to discuss
revision of the Montreaux Conven-
ton governing the Dardanelles.

Two British Papers
Express Uneosiness

LONDON, Mar. Is (F1.-Two Brit
ish newspapers. one Conservative
and one Labor, expressed uneasiness
at President Truman's new policy
today and said Britain should try
to mediate the differences between
Russia and the United States.
Our first reaction to President
Truman's speech on Wednesday was
one of uneasiness. Our second
thoughts are no happier" said the
Daily Herald, organ of the Labor
Party.
Saying it saw no reason ito clap
our hands" and rejoice because two
Allies of ours are now glaring at
one another across Balkan FROM
tiers" the Herald said Britain
should throw herself heart and soul
into the strengthening of U. N. and
snto the parallel task Of mediation
between American and Russia.
Lord Beaverbrook's Conservative
Daily Express also called for a
mighty effort to British diplomacy
to ease the tension so 1.-The rival

The President, it Is expected, will
send some word to his daughter
after the performance, which was
postponed for week when she de-
veloped laryngitis.
Away from the pressure Of daily
office routine, and enjoying his
brief vacation, Mr.. Truman was
further moved to stay on while
longer after he had talked to Mrs
Truman by phone today, and re-
ceived an encouraging report from
her on the condition of his "a

man, who fractured her right hip

The President went for his first
fishing trip today captaining team
that won honors for the heaviest

The opposing team, captained by

Mr.. Truman landed a five-pound
mackerel. The fishing grounds was

Text of Marshall Statement

ttres under constitutions freely de-
veloped by the Germans, subject
to the approval Of the United States
Military Government.
BY proclamation, under the date
10 September. 1916, the United
States Military Government estab-
lished three Laender tstates) in
its zone. In the only case where a
former Land was almost wholly
in the United States zone, namely
Bavaria, the Land was established
on administrative boundaries as
they existed prior to the occupation.
In the case Of Wuerttemberg- Baden,
Hesse and Bremen, certain changes
we're made, primarily because of
the fact the occupation zones cut
across territorial administrative
lines. Certain consultations were
also required for the purpose Of
sound administration.
Areas Are Provisional.
The establishment of these areas
III the United States zone as states
for administrative purposes is, as I
have said, provisional and may be
anticipated. When the present arti-
ficial boundary lines between zones
are removed, certain of these states
will seek more normal boundaries
based on cultural, economc and his
toric considerations. The approval
which the military government gave
the constitutions was made ex-
pressly subject to international
agreements to which the United
States is a party, to quadripartite
legislation and to powers which the
military government must reserve
in order to effectuate basic policies
of occupation.
The question of territorial and
administrative organization within

, ants, would attain two-fo1d objee-
| tive: Poland would receive ample
compensation for territory lost to the
Soviet Union in Eastern Poland, and
Germany would be materially aided
in again becoming self-supporting
from an agricultural standpoint.
What line Secretary OF State Mar
shall will take when the border ques-
ton arises in Moscow was not known
here. Major issues, such as deter
mining the level of German indus
try and her future political makeup,
depend largely on how her borders
are defined, 1t was pointed out.
Poles Hold Line Is Permanent.
Poland regards as permanent the
Oder-Neisse river boundary running
from Stettin to Zittau on the Czech
border, which was accepted by the
Western Allies at Potsdam as tenn
porary demarcation line If made
a permanent frontier, Poland would
get most of Silesia and Pomerania,
piece of Brandenburg and the
southern half Of East Prussia.
American military government
figures say Germany would lose 3d.
042 square miles of territory. which
in 1899 had a population of $780,
600, including 100000 Germans.
Polish figures say the present popu-
lation is 100000 of which only 600,-
900 are Germans. The Poles have
expelled the German population
westward into already overcrowded
Germany.
American experts feel that at
least part Of the territory east OF
the Oder-Neisse line should be left
to Germany in order to enable her
to reach a decent food standard. 1t
was formerly Germany's most i'm
portant agricultural area.
Under the proposed compromise
Germany would lose most of her
war potential in the east since the
coal mines, minerals and basic in
dustries are located largely in Up
per Silesia.

past two years that Soveit citizens
in the western zones had not been
similarly treated, that they had been
subjected to Fascist propaganda and
that Soviet inspectors had been in
suited and attacked when they
visited camps where the Russians
lived.
Mr.. Vishinsky urged a seven point
program which would assure officials
of all countries free access to camps
and records, halt propaganda
against any Allied power, dissolve
all camp committees hostile to any
Allied power, prohibit recruiting
men in camps for guard or other
armed duty, place camp administra-
ton in the hands of citizens from
the country of the internees, turn
over war criminals Immediately to
the country of origin, and set up a

Gen. Marshall's move in summon
ing Gen. Clay, American comman-
der in Germany, to Moscow was in
anticipation of vital discussions on
American economic policies in Ger
many.
Russian attacks on American ad-
ministration in Germany have made
it necessary to have an American
representative in Moscow who is
fully acquainted with the German
situation. Gen. Clay has been the
main author of American economic
measures in the Reich, and will be
available to supply Gen. Marshall
quickly with the information he
will need. +
{ Mr.. Molotov's attempts to hold
informal Big Three talks on China
were frustrated when the Chinese
Embassy formally notified Gen
Marshall and Mr.. Bevin that the
Chinese government Cannot take
part in, or agree to such meeting. y
In view of the official Chinese
attitude Gen. Marshall and Mr.
Bevin will probably agree only to
an informal exchange of informa-
ton with Mr.. Molotov on China.
Deadlock Over Austria.
Earlier today at the deputies
meeting, Feodor Gousev, the Soviet
representative, declared fatty that
unless the Western powers recognize
that German assets in Austria al
ready acquired by the Russians have
been legally transferred there will
be no progress possible on this key
issue in the Austrian peace settle
ment.
The French and British proposed
that the Big -Four define what con-
stitutes German assets in Austria
Mr.. Gousev replied that Russia
would make her own decision as far
as the Eastern zone was concerned
and 1t. Gen. Mark Clark, the Ameri-
can deputy, agreed that this was
proper under the Potsdam agree
ment.
The French suggested that a
clause be drafted for the Austrian
treaty requiring that country to
recognize the validity of the Pots
dam pact and facilitate legal trans
fer of title to the German assets.
Mr.. Gousev refused to consider that
suggestion, making his point that
there could be no question of the
legality of German assets already
acquired by the Russians.

Potsdam pact called for decentrali-
zation of Germany and the United
States felt free to act under this
general policy in the absence Of
any specific agreements to the con-
trary.
Mr.. Vishinsky took over in the
discussion of displaced persons, de-
claring that the Russians had sent
out of their German zone 24,524
British subjects, 22,479 Americans
and $4,000 French. American
sources said all the Americans were
war prisoners liberated by Russian
armies.
The Soviet deputy rehashed the
familiar Russian argument Of the
