Receiving Home Fugitive
Recuptured After Chase

A 17-year-old boy who escaped
first from the District Receiving
Home, then from a policeman who
apprehended him, was back in GUS
tody today.
The colored boy was recognized
by Policeman Randle Honaker, on
duty at the British Embassy, and
arrested yesterday. He was wanted
for an escape last Thursday from the
Receiving Home. When Pvt. Hon.
aker was calling for a scout car, the
boy broke away but was quickly re-
captured hiding in Rock Creek. He
is being held for Juvenile Court
action on a charge of attempting
to steal truck.

largely of personal items, many con-
nected with entertainment, the

examiner added:
"A conservative estimate of 1946
expenses not connected with the
business would be: Leon Arnold
(president, $5362o; j. L. Arnold,
5000, and M. j. Davis Chairman
of the board), $500"
He added that expense items for
1947 were ION a more modest scale,
consisting of $204.0S for Mr.. Davis;
$132,72 for Mr.. England (H II. Eng
land, secretary-treasurer), and ST.
295.11 for j. L. Arnold"
ICC said the Arnold Lines pro-
posal for an increase in fares in its
other five zones were unjust and
unreasonable" and that under exist
ing circumstances there is no basis
for a permanent schedule of in
creaSes.
In the case of the Washington
Marlboro line, the ICC said increases
proposed also were unjust and
unreasonable" and claimed the COM
pany had made "an overstatement

the ICC ruled.
The examiner recommends a de-
nial of fare increases sought by
the company for four other fare
zones. The first zone affected by
today's action extends from the
Washington terminus to Lee boule-
ward and Lexington street, Wilson
boulevard and Jefferson street;
Washington boulevard and Frederick
street, and Harrison street and Lee
highway.
Use of Tokens Limited.
The proposed tokens would be
good only in the first zone, it was
explained.
During the hearing on the COM
pany's request for an across-the-
board fare increase, salaries paid
some of the company officials came
under fire.
Today's findings noted that the
Government had made an analysis
of officers expenses from January l,
1946, to May 81 of this year. The
ICC said taken as a whole expenses
not properly charged to operating
costs were relatively insignificant. ="

It was drafted after President Tru-
man vetoed previous measure en-
powering the administration to
raise tariffs or fix quotas if foreign
wool threatened prices on the do
mestic market.
Two other measures, both also
already approved BY the Senate, had
a lingering chance Of approval be-
fore adjournment.
One would give permanent status
to the Armyis WACS and the Navy's
WAVES. A preliminary decision is
up to the House Armed Services
Committee.
The other would increase Govern

The bill would grant a student
veteran without dependents SIS a

Instead of the present sos, vet
eran with one dependent would get
$105 and one with more than one
dependent would draw $120.

away the appropriations logjam,
Senate House conferees reached a
compromise agreement providing
approximately $5,934, 100000 for
military operations of the War De-

year.
This compares with $6,159, ,000, ,0o0

Patterson Departs
With Warning u. s.
Lacks Ready Force

Robert P. Patterson headed today
for a rest on his New York farm
after warning in farewell press
conference as Secretary of War that
potentially powerful America is low
in ready military strength"
He said that as private citizen
he would do his utmost to see that
universal military training is
adopted.
Describing the atomic bomb as "a
strong asset" for the time being at
least, he urged that, the United
States continue making atomic
weapons until international accord
is reached.
Scroll and Tray Presented.
Mr.. Patterson was honored at
farewell dinner in the Pentagon last
night by President Truman and
military ard civilian leaders Of the
War and Navy Departments who
had worked closely with the retiring
cabinet member.
A scrooll and silver tray-which
Mr.. Truman personally polished
with his handkerchief-was pre-
sented to Mr.. Patterson by the
Army General Staff as a token of
high esteem" and in appreciation of
the privileges Of serving under the
inspiring leadership of great
American and a good and loyal
soldier
The tray was engraved with the

staff, and other officers.
Plans to Practice Law.
Mr.. Patterson, who swore in Ken
meth C. Royal as his successor yes
terday, planned to leave Washing
ton today for his farm at Cold
Springs. near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
He said he would rest" at farming
for a few weeks before returning to
the practice of law in New York
City.
At his farewell press conference
yesterday, Mr.. Patterson pointed out
that the United States has poten-
tial strength of a military character
not equaled by any other nation"
But, he said, ION the point of
ready military strength the picture
is not the same" He added that
American armed forces "are scarce
ly adequate to the discharge of our
occupation tasks"

Greeks RepeI Attack
By Rebels 40 Miles
From Albania Border
BY tho Assoeiofsd Press

ATHENS, July 25.-A War
Ministry spokesman said Greek
government forces, using rocket
firing planes and artillery, re-
PEELED a strong guerrilla attack
today on Grevena, about 40
miles east of the Albanian
border.
The ministry said a guerrilla force
of from 1,200 to $500 men, equipped
with heavy weapons, launched the
attack at am.
The spokesmen said the initial as
sault forced back guard posts out
side Grevena, q town Of 1000 in the
Pindus Mountain foothills, south
east OF the Mount Grammos border
area where government forces have
been battling leftist units for almost
a month.
"The attack was repelled and the
guerrillas were decimated," the
spokesman said.
Reinforcements Sent.
Military sources said the attackers
were part Of the guerrilla units
which previously attacked Konitsa,
south of the Mount Grammos region
10 miles east of the Albanian
frontier.
The Greek 2nd Army Corps said
at Larissa that reinforcements had
been sent to Grevena and the situa-
ton was developing favorably"
Greek Spitfires firing rockets and
machine guns were reported keep
ing the attackers under steady fire.
Press dispatches said a 24-hour
pounding by Greek Army artillery
and aircraft had routed 600 guer-
rillas in major engagement west of
Lamia, 100 miles northwest of
Athens. Unofficial reports said 200
casualties were inflicted on the
rebels.
A United Nations Balkan Subcom-
mission still in session in Ioannina
drafted a report-opposed by the
Soviet and Polish delegates-for U.
N. headquarters, dispatches said.
Red Leaders Ordered Arrested.
Informed sources said this report
included the subcommission's con-
|clusions that Greek guerrillas had
entered this country from Albania
and that Albania, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia had obstructed the work
of the subcommission.
The Greek government last week
reported the army had stopped a
guerrilla drive on Ioannina said to
have started in Albania.
Warrants were issued last night
for the arrest of Nicholas zachari-
AIDES, leader of the Greek Communist
Party, and Miltiades Porphyrogen-
mis-, former Communist labor min
lister. The government charged the
two with "anti-national activities
and revolutionary plotting.
Speaking to French Communists
in Strasbourg recently, Porphyro-
gennis urged that free" govern
ment be established in Greece, and
Athens government circles subse-
quently indicated they expected a
move in that direction.
Last night, however, Constantine
Rodopoulos, governor general OF
Northern Greece, said in an inter-
view that the Communists don't
have the strength" to set up pro-
visional government.

Attempts Being Made
To Iron Out Differences

State and War Department OFF,
cials today were believed to be at
tempting to iron out differences of
opinion which have arisen over a
State Department move to consult
with France about American-British
proposals and military officials over
policy in Germany.
The State Department refused any
comment on reports from Berlin of
a split between diplomatic and mill
tary officials over policy in Germany.
The reports appeared to informed
observers to indicate a misunder-
standing of the basis Of the invita-
ton to the French. There was no
indication here of any change in
Secretary of State Marshall's views
that the rate of German industrial
production should be kept elastic
to meet European needs, but it was
understood that he felt it important
to attempt to allay French fears
before announcing definite plans.
Moses Report Suppressed.
The State Department said yester-
day that it is suppressing a report
on economic conditions in the Amer
ikan and British zones of Germany
for the time being to avoid con-
ffict with discussions with the Brit
ish on Ruhr coal production.
The report was prepared by Rob-
ert Moses, New York City park
commissioner. Secretary of War
Patterson said the War Depart
ment proposed that the report be
released, but was overruled by the
State Department.
The New York Herald Tribune
said yesterday that it was under
stood the report criticized British
management Of the Ruhr coal mines
as inefficient. The document was
said to have cited lack of adequate
discipline in the mines and to have
taken the view that efficiency was
impaired by a British plan to ma
tionalize the mines.
MIR. Patterson's disclosure that
the War Department favored re-
leasing the report was in response
to questions at farewell news con-
ference as he stepped out as Sec
retary of War.
,Mr. Patterson said he did not
think the report was ''unduly criti-
cal' of the British, adding lit was
Just as critical of us"

Germany
Continued From First Page)

France has exercised in the Allied
Control Council in Berlin for the
past two years.
The difference between the Army
and State Department aims in Ger
many became apparent at the For
eign Ministers Moscow conference
last spring.
Clay Position Subordinated.
The Army school of thought, led
by Gen. Clay, held that it was all
important to rebuild Germany as a
prosperous nation both for the eco
nomic well being of Europe and to
keep Germany from going COM
munistic.
The position OF Gen. Clay was
subordinated at Moscow to the pre-
dominant State Department school,
which held that the German prob
lem could wait and that the most
important thing was to see that
France did not go, Communist.
Thus at every opportunity, the
Americans supported the French in
the six weeks of fruitless negotia-
tions at the expense of Germany.
However, when the Foreign Min
tsters' Conference ended without
agreement, the War Department and
the British Foreign Office en-
powered their representatives in
Germany, Gen. Clay and Gen. Sir
Brian Robertson, to go ahead with
negotiations on an agreed level Of
German industry to make the COM
bined zones self sufficient.
The day this agreement was
negotiated, signed and readied for
publication, hurried messages from
Washington and London halted the
release. 1t subsequently was dis
closed that this resulted from a
French protest.
"T think now we are right back
where we we're at Potsdam and the
situation is far more critical" one
top Official said. IF we are going to
have a policy, let's have one and
carry it out and not reverse our
field every five months. We seem
to be trying to ride two horses going
In different directions"
In the two years since the war,
veteran officials said, this was the
first time they could recall that the
American Military Government had
not been kept informed of develop
ments and moves in Washington.
The State Departments move in
German policy was coupled with its
recent insistence that the Ruhr coal
talks take place in Washington,
rather than in Berlin.

S. Eccles on June S that he would
lift the installment buying restraints
unless Congress passed the legisla-
ton he wanted. Mr.. Truman would
do this by "vacating" the order
which put the controls into effect.
The House and Senate had passed
separate bills concerning the re-
strictions. After the White House
mixup, congressional leaders quickly
appointed conferees who reached
agreement on bill to end the curbs
by November l.
The bill does not 60 as far as
Mr.. Truman requested.
Legislative action previously in
cluded these steps:
The Senate passed a bill author
izing controls until December 81
but specifying that no more than a
one-fifth down payment need be
required and that installments could
run as long as 20 months.
House Wrote Own Measure.
The House rejected the Senate
bill and passed one of its own de-
manding an immediate end to all
consumer credit restraints,
And that was all because, on the
basis of Mr.. Truman's statement,
the House could force an end to
the controls simply by refusing to
compromise with the Senate.
Then, yesterday, reporters and
Congress members alike we're con-
fused by the Presidents statement
that he had never promised to re-
move the controls, but only to take
action. That, he added, is an en-
tirely different thing.
Reserve Board officials said there
are other credit controls-all resting
on legislative acts-such as regula-
ton of stock market operations and
reserve requirements for banks. They
said Mr.. Truman apparently con-
strued the reporters question to
cover the broader field.
In the midst of the confusion
over the credit issue, the White
House cleared up uncertainty sur
rounding Mr.. Truman's response
to another news conference query.
A reporter had asked: Have you
given much consideration to Sec
retary Anderson's proposal for a
world trade organization whereby
the Government would do their
purchasing for grains and supplies
for the Marshall european add
plan?"
The President replied that this is
under consideration.
Neither the other reporters nor
any interested Government agency
could recall any such proposal.
When questioned about it later,
Charles G. Ross. White House press
chief, investigated. He reported the
President did not catch the last
four words of the question, "for the
Marshall plan"
He said the President thought the
question referred to a suggestion
advanced by the Secretary of Agri-
culture at a cabinet meeting which
had nothing to do with the Marshall
plan.
Mr.. Anderson's idea, Mr.. Ross ex-
planned, is to set up a Federal Gov
eminent trade organization to assist
in the distribution of grain and
other supplies for export in times of
future surpluses.
John r. Steelman, assistant to the
President, who listened to Ross
explanation, agreed it waas a mis-
understanding of the reporters
question which led to the confusion.
He said the President had told his
cabinet that he might keep MIR.
Anderson's idea in mind,
