Hearing on PerIman
Reeesses as Judges
Praise Nominee
BY .hs Associated Press

A Senate subcommittee late yes
terday recessed its hearings on the
nomination of Philip B. Perlman,
81, of Baltimore to be solicitor gen.
eral after Baltimore judges voiced
strong approval of the nominee.
Chairman Ferguson did not set
the resumption date Immediately.
Senator Ferguson and Donnell.
Republican, of Missouri, questioned
Mr.. Perlman and other witnesses
on the nominees connection with
the Baltimore Transit Co. and pub
lie officials at yesterdays session.
Mr.. Perlman. former Maryland
Secretary of State and one-time
Baltimore City solicitor, said earlier
In the day he had represented the
utility for "the last 20 years" and
the company paid him an annual
retainer fee of $4,000.
Questioned on Utilities.
Mr.. Perlman said 80 per cent Of
the utility's stock was owned by Ma
tional City Lines, now uner indict-
ment by the Justice Department for
alleged monopolistic practices.
Senator Ferguson asked Judge
Charles Markell of the Maryland
Court Of Appeals, should Perlman
be put In position as solicitor
general where he could determine
whether National City Lines prose-
eution should continue?"
Judge Markell, who said he
though Mr.. Perlman was fully
qualified for the Office, answered
"he could do as judges in the
Supreme Court do in matters in
which they have an interest. He
could delegate it to an associate.
The solicitor general has large
staff of capable men. I should
think he'd disqualify himself"
Praised by Judge Dennis.
Samuel K. Dennis, former chief
Judge of the supreme bench Of Bal
timore City, described Mr.. Perlman
as ."of fine character, q polished
man, extremely studious and with
a retentive mind. He presents cases
thoroughly and has a capacity for
getting along with people"
Other Baltimore attorneys and
Judges, described by Senator. Tyd-

cream of the Maryland bar" ap-
peared in support of Mr.. Perlman,
previously Endorsed by all Of the

man had written letter in 1922 to

Germany, May 28.-Alois Lang, the
56-year-old tavern keeper who was
the last man to portray Christ in
the world-famed Oberammergau
Passion Play, was fined 1000 marks
($10O yesterday by denazification
court which ruled that he was a fol-
lower of the Nazi Party.
The handsome, bearded Lang, who
played the role of the Saviour In
1880 and 1884, told the court he was
cited for a minor breach of the
tavern laws in 1885 and thereafter
joined the party to avoid Nazi per-
secution.
AS the story was told in court, a
woman who lived near Mr.. Lang re-
ported him to Nazi authorities for
selling her a cup of coffee, which
his license did not permit Further,
he said, he offended authorities by
entertaining Jews in his house.
The Nazis took away his hotel
and cafe license, but for three years,
Mr.. Lang said, he ignored the Nazis
and was ruined financially. Then
he submitted, joined the party and
got his license back.
They prosecuted me because OF
their personal antagonism, Mr.. Lang
testified, explaining his early rela-
tions with the Nazis. 81 was q
symbol of the Saviour to the anti
religious Nazis."
Peter Meyer, Jew who now is

On Separate Treaties
With Germany, Japan
BY The Associated Press

Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee de-
clared today the administration
should accept Immediately
Herbert Hoover's suggestion that
this country write it's own peace
treaties with Germany and ia
pan.
"It is perfectly apparent the ad-
ministration has let things get out
of hand" MIR. Taber told reporters
after observing that American finan-
cial commitments abroad between
now and July 1, 194s, will amount
to close to $4,000, ,000, 900 If pending
legislation is passed in It's present
form.
Refusing to suggest deadline for
getting Russia's agreement to speed
big-power treaty making, the New
York lawmaker contended: "The
more we fool around with 1t, the
more we get involved in inter
national handouts"
Mr.. Taber's opinion was advanced
against the background of a two.
hour private meeting of Mr.. Hoover
and an Appropriations Subcom-
mittee. At that meeting yesterday
the former Republican President
expressed his approval OF $725, 900,
600 Army appropriation request foi
civilian relief in Germany, Austria
Korea and Japan.
1t probably will be at least a week
or 10 days before the subcommittee
completes its review of the Army's
civil functions" financial needs, in
cluding the relief program in the
occupied zones.
AS did Mr.. Hoover himself, Mr.
Taber took the position that United
States relief problems will remain
unsettled unless and until formal
peace pacts have been written with
the major Axis powers.
Mr.. Taber said the treaties are
necessary to restore German and
Japanese enterprise along with
efficiency for their own recovery
because, he added, neither country
will use any initiative until 1t knows
what its future Is to be-.

British Hunt in Italy
For YugosIav Fugitives
BY the As.oeioted Press

CLEVELAND, May 28.-The State
Department has temporarily stalled
a recent intensive British manhunt
for alleged Yugoslav war criminals
and "quislings" in Italy, the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer said last night.
In a dispatch from Rome, the
papers staff correspondent, John P
Leacacos, said the search had been
halted by the British Foreign Office
on receipt of a protest from the
American State Department.
Order Put Out to Seize 877.
The British Army, Mr.. Leacacos
wrote, recently put out an order In
Italy to apprehend and deliver to
the Yugoslav government 877 re-
ported war criminals and quislings
But the State Department pro-
tested, and the Foreign Office
swiftly backtracked to cover what
was an obvious boner of the British
military in failing to hold normal
prior consultations with their
American allies in Italy," the Plain
Dealer writer continued.
The State Department interven-
ton, he said, prompted the Brit
ish to:
Cd Suspend all handovers Of sus-
pected Yugoslavs to Marshal Tito.

lings."
Problem to Be Reviewed.
'In the actual truth" Mr. Lea
cacos went on, "the Americans and
British have decided to pass the
buck and in effect stall the Yugo-
slavs indefinitely because of their
sincere belief that most of the
wanted persons are simply anti
Tito rather than bona fide GRIM
inals.

Is guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt"
In Washington State Department
off1cials said they knew nothing
about any protest to the British
Foreign Office or military asking
any showdown or halt in the search
for suspected war criminals.
These officials pointed out, how
ever, that State Department and
War Department authorities have
refused on occasion to turn over
Yugoslavs in their jurisdiction
wanted by the Tito government.
American policy has been, they
said, not to hand over such persons
unless there are grounds for be-
lieving them to be war criminals
and not just political refugees op-
posed to the Tito regime.
