EmpIoye Of Bank,
>Underpoid,' Is
Spared in Theft
BY the Assoeio,sd Pres.

DETROIT, July ia Common
wealth Bank employe who worked
Is years as a department head at
$3.50 a month has received sus-
pended sentence on an embezzle-
ment charge. and the bank was rep
rimanded by Federal Judge Frank
A. Picard.
The Judge accused bank officials
of underpaying Arthur Alfred Craig,
42, and dangling large sums OF
money" before the employe.
To Craig, who admitted taking
s2,500 during a two-year period by
juggling records of service charges,
Judge Picard said:
I'm not condoning you. Stealing
is stealing. It l. never justified"
But, he added as he placed the
defendant on two years probation:
THE bank informs me you were
one of its best men. You worked
late hours and appeared to have the
banks interest at heart. "A man
with your position at the bank has
to maintain a certain. standing in
the community. If they expect you
to wear white shirt at work, they
should pay you a white-shirt sal
arv."

Wife, S Answer 10 Suii
Charges Misconduct

Mrs. Dorotha Darnell yesterday
Answered a suit filed against her in
District Court by her husband,
Richard C. Darnell, 1896 Highview
terrace Sc, charging him with mis-
conduct and failure to support her
and their 12-year- -old daughter
adequately.
Mr.. Darnell last month asked the
court to halt the carrying out Of a
property agreement with his wife,
who, the suit said, was then in Reno
to obtain a divorce.
Mrs. Darnell yesterday asked sup
port for herself and the child, Gus
tody of the child, appointment of
a receiver to control real estate
listed in both parties names, and
an accounting of rents and profits.
Mr.. Darrnell's suit listed real
property here, covered by deeds in
escrow, totaling some $4,000.
The wife asked that agreements
made May rs, 1945, by the couple
be cancelled and that Mr.. Darnell
be restrained from communicating
with her except by mail.
The papers said Mrs. Darnell was
forced to return from Nevada be-
cause of lack of funds but that she
has been keeping her whereabouts
from her husband, from whom it
was said she fears bodily harm. The
Nevada divorce action is the second
she has dropped, it was said.
The answer declared that, begin
ming shortly after their marriage in
1927. Mr.. Darnell has been guilty of
misconduct many times and has
caused Mrs. Darrnell illness and
mental suffering.
She charged he assaulted her, and
on one occasion grabbed her hat
from her head. tore 1t in pieces and
threw the pieces on the ground.

Japanese Look 10 j. ).
To Take Their Part
Al Peace Conference
by The Associofed Press

TOKYO, July 18.-Japan looked
today with increased confidence to
the United States and to Gen. Mac
Arthur personally to define her po-
sition at the peace conference.
Most Japanese regarded the Amer
lean call for early negotiations as
"a personal triumph for Gen. Mac
Arthur-the latest in a series of
Endorsements of his views on Japan
and the occupation. Accordingly,
they took fresh hope that his ex-
pressed opinions on such controver-
sial problems as reparations and
Japans future status also will pre-
vail at the final conference.
Aims Called Identical.
Japanese officialdom has been
quick to note international trends
particularly those tending to con-
firm their repeated declarations that
the aims of the United States and
Japan are identical now"
A great majority of Japanese con-
sistently has applauded Gen. Mac
Arthurs unwavering opposition to
communism. Japanese officials have
watched with equal interest the
more hidden and less frequent dis
agreements between Allied head
quarters and some of the British
commonwealth nations over occupa-
tion methods.
Gen. Macarthur presumably will
stand on the occupation record to
date. Some commonwealth spokes-
men, however, have voiced a desire
for further, more thorough social
and political reform, and harsher
economic terms in the peace treaty.
Naturally, the Japanese side with
Gen. Macarthur.
Critics Debated.
Gen. MacArthur's aggressive &C
ton in making this primarily an
American occupation. under Presi-
dent Truman's policy of 1915, was
approved by all II interested ma
tions in a recent Far Eastern Com
mission policy statement. And this,
in effect, Debated international
critics who have condemned the
generals high handedness," among
other things.
The Supreme Commander was
the first to voice the request for an
early peace treaty, and to urge that
work begin this fall, even If the
German treaty remained unsigned.
Other nations fell into line, and the
American State Department an
nouncement came through on
schedule.

Coast Guard Auxiliary
Geared Up for Free
Check on Boat Safety
By MoIcoIm Lamborne, Jr.

washington's Coast Guard Auxil-
iary members have rolled up their
sleeves and are waiting for Gus
toners.
The customers are fellow yachts
men-hundreds Of them-who have
vet to take advantage Of the auxil-
iary's free boat inspection.
Reports of another near tragic
boat explosion here this week have
spurred auxiliarists to step up plans
for safety inspections. The pro-
gram is part of Nation wide drive
Of the Coast Guard for safety afloat.
Big Job Ahead.
There is little doubt the local
auxiliary has big job ahead. Di-
vision Captain Frank Courtney es-
Inmates only about 50 boats have
been inspected SO far, out of an es-
tumated $500 power driven pleasure
craft in the Washington area.
Expert marine inspectors, most of
them boat owners, are ready to
check over yatchman's craft for
ID equipment required by law, (2)
equipment not legally required but
considered good seamanship prac-
tice and CD to determine whether a
vessel has any flaws that might
cause explosions or fires.
The inspections are not manda-
tory. and there is no charge.
Further, If an inspector finds any
thing amiss, 1t is not reported to
Government authorities. The owner
simply Is told to correct the error
or to buy the proper equipment.
A boat passing the examination is
issued a serially numbered wind
shield sticker, which is honored
by the Coast Guard, provided no
violations otherwise are apparent.
Given Second Chance.
A boat owner has only to call one
OF the following auxiliary officials
to have an inspector on his way:
Mr.. Courtney at Randolph 0402, or
Flotilla Comdrs. r. w. Billups, Falls
Church 1890; James M. Osborne,
Warf1eld 8749, or Allen Carney,
Woodley 1888.
The auxiliary gives an owner a
second chance, If his boat fails to
measure up.
And just to prove that auxiliary
members practice what they preach,
Mr.. Courtney points out that, be-
fore a yachtsman can sign up with
the organization his boat must be
given a rigid inspection.
In fact, it's so strict it requires
about two hours as against the 80
minutes for the courtesy checkup.
That probably explains why auxil-
iary members have such a high
record for safety and seamanlike
handling Of their yachts.

Lebanon Criticized by U. N
For Barring 7 Reporters
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 17.-Adri-
an Pelt, acting secretary general Of
the United Nations, cabled a strong
representation" to the Lebanese
government last night for refusing
to. issue visas to Gerald Frank, an
American, and six Jewish Palestine
newspaper correspondents.
The United Nations protest came
after Intervention by the New York

ton.

fair that we should follow pattern
which is the reverse of that under
which the burden was imposed.
That Is to say. this wartime tax
burden should be reduced on basis
that is fair to low-incorne groups as
well as to high-income groups.
Concrete Examples.
The failure of H. r. 1850 to follow
this equitable principle is strikingly
demonstrated by the following
examples:
The bill would remove 81 per cent
of this wartime tax burden for a
married couple with an income of
s2,5oo.
The bill would remove ga per cent
of this wartime tax burden for a
couple with an income of 500, 900.
The bill would remove IS per
cent of this wartime tax burden for
a couple with an income Of ST.
100000.
I am unequivocally committed to
the right kind of tax reduction at
the right time. The right kind of
tax reduction must be based upon
a careful consideration of all ele-
ments of our tax structure.
A premature and faulty tax re-
duction bill such as H. r. 1850
would inject into our tax system
inequities which would greatly in
crease the dif1iculty of making de-
sirable revisions.
A fair and proper revision of our
tax structure would result in an
equitable distribution of tax reduc-
tions. 1t should be designed, also,
to assure a balanced budget, ade-
quate debt retirement and an
adequate reserve for meeting our
international commitments and car
rying out our foreign policy. 1t
should be designed to provide
stability rather than instability in
our economy and should be properly
timed for that purpose.
Because H. r. $3.50 is at COM
plete variance with the fundamental
requirements OF a good tax bill, I
am compelled to return it without
my approval.

Truman Scorns
Tober's Opinion
On Flood Control

President Truman does not think
much of the opinions of Chairman
Taber of the House Appropriations
Committee.
He made this clear at news con-
ference late yesterday, when he was
asked what he thought about the
cold reception" in Congress to his
message Wednesday asking immedi-
ate appropriation of $3.50, 900 for
the start of a comprehensive flood
control program in the Mississippi
basin.
Mr.. Truman appeared surprised
at the question and asked his ques-
toner If 1t really did have cool
reception.
He was told MIR. Taber, Repub-
lican, of New York, a consistent
critic Of administration policies, had
criticized it.
Oh, we'll, Mr.. Truman said, that
is to be expected-he crfticizes
everything.
The President added he did not
believe this was any indication Of
congressional sentiment.

Cooke Hits Opposition
|0f Electric Industry
To River Valley Plans

River valley authority advocates
were told by their leader today that
they must thwart opposition by the
electrical industry if they wished to
establish a national program.
Speaking at the closing day ses-
sion of the Valley Authority Con-
ference, of which he is chairman,
Morris L. Cooke, former rural elec-
trification administrator, said "the
history Of the (electricaD industry
during the last so years should leave
use in no doubt as to what we are
up against"
The conference is campaigning for
legislation to set up individual Gov
eminent authorities for the Nation S
watersheds similar to the Tennessee
Valley Authority. The meetings
were held in the Interior Depart
ment Auditorium.
The IVA presents striking con.
trast" to the Missouri Valleys worst
floods in 100 years." Harlow S. Per-
son, New York consulting economist,
told the conference.
TopsoiI Washed Away.
Millions of tons of fertile topsoil
were washed down to the Gulf" he
said. During the same period of
precipitation the waters of the Ten
nessee Valley made no conseouen-
tial addition to the crest of the flood
poured down into the Mississippi by
the Missouri"
Mr.. Person said handling of flood
control problems on the Missouri
was "one of expediency" while "the
Tennessee Valley example is one of
strategic planning and execution"
In speaking out against the elec-
trical industry's opposition, Mr..
Cooke said: AN insistent item in
the 1ndustry's propaganda is to the
effect that hydro power and flood
control are SO opposed as to make
impossible or uneconomic multiple
purpose dams which are of course
essential to sound river valley ,de-
velopment." Is
Cites Basis for Opposition. "
Mr.. Cooke said the opposition OF
the electrical industry "is based pri-
marily on the fact that the great
majority of undeveloped sites are
owned by the public and that, if and
when developed, low rates based on
costs will be charged as in the case
with IVA and certain municipality
owned plants such as in Tacoma,
Seattle and Los Angeles"
He said the electrical industry is
operated essentially "for ends all
but without social purpose and un-
der conditions which would
rate it as a closely knit conspiracy
against the public welfare"
Sponsors of the conference In ad
dition to Mr.. Cooke include three
Senators, Murray, Democrat, OF
Montana: LANCER, Republican, oi
North Dakota and Taylor, Demo
crat, of Idaho.
Senator Murray has reintroduced
legislation, similar to that which
failed of enactment in the last Con-
gress, to create Missouri Valley
Authority. Senator Taylor has in
troduced bill providing for a Co.
lumbia River Authority.

Date of Peace Conference
Remains Tentative
by the kssocio,sd pre.s

The State Department said last
night that it had reached no de-
cision on whether to postpone the
preliminary 11-nation Japanese
peace treaty conference tentatively
scheduled for August 10.
Government officials reported
some of the British Commonwealth
nations had suggested delaying the
meeting until later because of a
conflict with British Commonwealth
conference scheduled for Canberra
about that time.
The Netherlands and several other
countries, however, have indicated
willingness to meet in Washington
August 10 as suggested by the United
