THE Huks demand 70% for

Knowing that once they have

AMERICAN policy in the

THE great Philippine Expert

the world. If U. S. pressure
continues to help in filling high
posts in the government with

Japanese, in fighting guerrillas,
or in returning a new republic
to a colonial status, American
prestige in the Orient will con-
tinue to deteriorate.
Such a policy is already be-
ing denounced bitterly by many
thoughtful Filipinos. These
people have a healthy aware
ness of the ferment in the East
Indies. And they cannot be
expected to accept willingly
any return to the old social,
political and economic order.

TO THIS the Soviet answer
was that PREPARATIONS are the heart
of any German treaty and there

political organization.
No solution to these basic diff

The Austrian treaty also foun-

American press.
The stories fit a pattern; a
civil war is raging, Hulk ban

forced to call out the army to
disarm them.

by two NKvD (Soviet secret police)
agents before the 20 gems disap-
peared, and was certain he had been
betrayed to the Russians while play
ing a cat and mouse game with
them and moving from apartment
to apartment in an effort to shake
them off his trail.
American quarters said the dis
appearance of Princess Hermine's
Jewels had the possibility Of inter-
national complications because they
had been smuggled from the Rus
sian zone and the Russians might
demand the rest Of the treasure be
returned.
The remaining 66 pieces have been
deposited under American guard IN
Frankfort-on-Main, American head
quarters city In Germany.
The prince said the s5 pieces, in
cluding gem-studded tiaras, ear
rings, brooches, combs, toilet sets,
snuff and powder boxes, bracelets,
rings and watches, were worth 50,-
OO0, 900 marks, or $4,000, 900 at pres
ent rates of military exchange. The
value Of the stolen pieces was $2,-
600, 900 he said.
American investigators, who first
had placed a value of 100000 on
the missing pieces, said they had
been called In about six weeks ago
on the case and had not been able
to uncover a clue despite the fact
they had questioned dozens Of per-
sons in Berlin's underworld.

the American Investigators. THE
one fact we have established Is that
no Americans are involved. Our
report Is now being prepared for

"All I could tell the investigators"
the prince said, was that there
were two keys to the trunk and I
always kept both. Of them with me

morning and night, I lost one of

I noticed that 20 of the best pieces
were gone"
The woman emissary, whom police
refused to name, brought the jewelry
to Berlin In q valise so 1t could be
sold and the proceeds invested, the
prince said.
The jewels were dumped out on
the bed In the princes apartment in
the American sector. He took a
hasty inventory and then placed
them in the trunk with old clothes
piled on top.
Then the prince got uneasy when
he thought he was being shadowed
He moved In first with one friend
and another, and finally into the
apartment of his American friend,
Michel G. Stcherbinine, of New York
City, former special investigator
for the criminal investigation de-
partment and now an American
Russian liaison officer.
Loss Of Key Unexplained.
The biggest treasure hunt since
the Hesse crown Jewel case at Kron-
berg Castle got under way when the
Americans were called in and found
the trunk upended and part of the
jewels in a small case dumped o1t
the table in the Princes room. Also
missing was $4,000 marks $($7,500)
in cash, part Of the proceeds from
the sale Of necklace.
How the Prince could have lost
one Of the keys was unexplained
Investigators said they could not
establish whether the key string had
been cut or united.
Another mysterious angle was how
the Princess Hermine had been able
to hide SO large a treasure in her
small Frankfurt apartment while
under Russian guard.
The woman emissary said 1t had
been hidden in a closet off the uv-
ing room in some old clothes.

Speeding Chief Cause
Of Permit Revocutions

Speeding was the principal cause
Of the revocation or suspension Of
drivers permits in the District last
month, according to the July report
issued yesterday by the Traffic De-
partment's Board Of Revocation and
Restoration.
The total number of speeding
cases heard by the board last month
was 431, compared with 367 during
June. OF these, four had their
drivers licenses revoked and the
others drew suspensions of from 30
to 80 days.
Accidents were the next highest
causes for action by the board. Two
permits were revoked and 129 were
suspended for varying periods. Six
drivers had their licenses revoked
because Of their bad records of
traffic violations and six drivers
permits were suspended indefinitely.
