ranging in caliber from 80 to .38
Theories as to the circumstances
of Mr.. Kelly's death were few and
inconclusive. Inspector Barrett said
it was possible Mr.. Kelly was flee
ing from a holdup man, a fact that
might account for the almost verti-
cal range of the bullet. Mr.. Kellys
wallet, found on his body, contained
$40, which members of the family
believed was all he had on leaving
the house.
Inspector Barrett said the toes
of Mr.. Kelly's shoes were scraped
and that his arms were bent behind
him when the body was found.
Cause of death was attributed by
DR.. Macdonald to hemorrhages OF
the throat arteries.
Edward G. Council, ambulance
driver at Garfield Hospital, said he
was about to take an ambulance out
of the garage when he heard what
he thought was pistol shot.
Two policemen were standing be-
side the body when he drove up, he
said He noted quite bit of blood
on the sidewalk, he added.
Mr.. Kelly had attended a meeting
of the Association for the Education
of Physically Handicapped and Shut
in Children at Central High School.
There he had discussed the case of
his daughter Edith, who formerly
attended the Academy of the Holy
Names at Silver Spring, Md.
The association furnishes home
visiting tutors for handicapped chill
dren. During the meeting Mr.. Kelly
questioned DR.. Bernard Walsh, the
speaker, about rheumatic fever and
the recurrence of heart ailments
after its apparent cure.
Mrs. Kelly told reporters today she
had planned to attend the meeting
but decided against it at the last
minute. Mr.. Kelly went alone be-
cause he was anxious to hear rheu-
matte fever discussed by a specialist,
she said.
Left School Alone.
After the meeting Mr.. Kelly
talked for several minutes with
Mrs A. J. Terry, president of the
association. She said he left the
school alone at about 10:15 pm.
Mr.. Kelly had worked for the
District Office of the Corps of Engi-
neers since 1899, when he assisted
in construction work at National
Airport. He supervised the elec-
trical force during the building OF
Camp Ritchie, Md, and worked at
the Dalecarlia Reservoir, as well as
at the Mcmillan Reservation, which
supplies the District with its water.
His immediate superior, William
A. Hutcheson, the electrical FORE
man, said today Mr. Kelly was never
one to talk much about his trou-
bles, although he had confided he
was worried about meeting the pay
ments on the home he was buying.
He also had a number of medical
bills resulting from his daughters
Hines, but he told another friend
that he was just making the last
payment on those.
Was Popular at Work.
"He got along well with the men,"
Mr.. Hutcheson said. "He never held
a grudge. He was more likely. to

as If we we're to leave her with a
potential for making arms"
This kind of thing has been said
before Those western leaders who
said it almost always have drawn
rain of abuse from the controlled
Russian press. But Mr.. Molotov
reacted differently yesterday. He
said he agreed level Of industry
should be fixed which would permit
Germany to live and trade.
Level of Industry Set.
The Big Four have already set a
level of industry for Germany-at
Potsdam in 1945. They set up three
categories of industry in the Reich
War industry, peaceful industry and
industry useful in both war and
peace.
They agreed at Potsdam to cut
various industries back to varying
percentages of their preWar volume.
They would take out as reparations
all industrial equipment above the
agreed percentage. The aim was to
leave Germany self supporting but
with a living standard no higher
than the rest of Europe. Those who
deal with Mr.. Molotov are always
cautious about interpreting his
words. But many here think that
in saying the level of industry
should be fixed to permit Germany
to live is admitting that the level
fixed at Potsdam does not permit
her to live, and this is exactly what
the Americans and British now be-
lieve.
Mr.. Bevin made this explicit yes
terday. The Americans and British
have been saying for some time
that If Russia insists on keeping
Germany divided economically into
separate zones, she will need more
industry than the Big -Four planned
at Potsdam to let her have. But
now Mr.. Bevin has made it plain
he thinks Germany needs more in
dustry anyway than they planned
at PotSdam to let her have.
He referred to the level of indus
try set at Potsdam as outdated and
said 1t ought to be revised. He
wanted fresh study made as to the
proper level Of Germany's peace
time economy. The main problem,
he indicated, was how to fit Ger
man industries into categories estab-
lished at Potsdam, since in a sense
all industries have their wartime
uses.
Hard to Draw Line.
Again Mr.. Molotov seemed to
concur. He agreed it is hard to
draw line between dangerous and
peaceful industry. The only sug-
gested way of making it easier has
Evening star., 1947-03-13

been to revise the categories OF
industries established at Potsdam
But revising these categories means.
in effect, revising the whole Pots
dam formula for the level of in
dustry.
Conservative belief here is that
Mr.. Molotov is putting out feelers,
wondering what he can get in ex-
change for Russia's agreement that
the German level of industry must
not be further depressed.
Mr.. Bevin, in his 45-minute
speech, rebutted Mr.. Molotov's
earlier criticism of how disarming
Germany was coming along in Brit
ish zone In return he made few
accusations of his own but Mr.. Molo-
tov's reaction was surprisingly
conciliatory.
Mr.. Bevin said Britain felt "a
great deal of concern" about the
many million" German prisoners
of war being held in the Soviet
Union.
1t had been reported, he said, that
some of them were now in the Red
Army. He felt there should be an
understanding as to when these
prisoners would be sent home.
He wanted to know about German
naval ships, including a pocket bat
tleship, an aircraft carrier and many
submarines which were in Russian
hands. These were supposed to
have been destroyed, but he indi-
Gated they had not been.
What assurance will Mr.. Molo-
tov give us on this subject?" Mr..
Bevin asked.
Hopes to Reveal Demolition
The answer came quickly. Mr..
Molotov said it was true that Rus
sia had been unable to destroy on
schedule all German warships in
her possession. He said he hoped
to be able to announce soon when
this demolition job would be COM
pleted.
The Russian Foreign Minister said
he was ready to give the Council
the number of Russia's German
prisoners right away. But he thought
each of the Big Four should agree
to produce same information. They
so agreed, and the Americans, Brit
ish and French have already, in
fact, made public the number of
Germans in their custody. This is
the first time Russia has offered to
do SO, however.
Mr.. Bevin also contributed a con-
cession yesterday. After he had ex-
planned that the German troops still
being maintained in the British
zone were engaged largely in mine
operations, Mr.. Molotov
observed that the British were the
only ones using German troops. He
said he thought it would be a good
thing if the British stopped doing
it for the sake of unit of policy
among the zones.
Mr.. Bevin then apparently re-
versed his earlier position. agreeing
to set date for disbanding these
troops.

Albert M. Creel, carpenter on
the Mcmillan Reservation who lives
at BIT Varnum street NV, picked
up Mr.. Kelly every morning to
take him to work at 7:30 and took
him home at 4 every afternoon.
Mr.. Kelly rode with Mr.. Creel as
usual on Tuesday but, according to
Mr.. Creel, did not mention that
he was planning to attend the meet
ing at Central that night.
On Wednesday morning, Mr.
Creel said, he stopped as usual to
pick up Mr.. Kelly. One of Mr.
Kelly's sons came to the curb and
told him the news, he said.
Preferred Work as Electrician.
Mr.. Hutcheson said that Mr.. Kelly
was a graduate accountant and a
wizard at figures" bu preferred his
work as an electrician.
Mr.. Kelly's family, Mr.. Hutch
son said, told him that Mr.. Kelly
was in good spirits, playing with
his grandchildren before he left
for the meeting Tuesday night. He
was planning to bowl last night and
to take his wife to dance tomor-
row night.
The Kellys had lived at Their

Tsaldaris Sends Message.
In Athens, Constantin Tsaldaris,
the Greek foreign minister. dis
patched message to President Tru-
man in which he said:
With a feeling of true relief the
Greeks heard your momentous mes
sage to the American people and
Congress. At this historic hour I
recollect with profound emotion our
personal contact in December last
and the assurance which you were
kind enough to give when, on
Greece's behalf, I laid before you
her great problem.
Those assurances of yours are
now becoming reality. And the
Greek people, who had been so sorely
tried, can confidently look forward
to better future, which they are
entitled to. At the start of this new
epoch Of my country we anticipate
with equal optimism a development
in international relations through
the policy which you are inaugural
ing by your inspired message.
Il venture to forecast that like
that historic Lend-Lease Act which
marked the starting point toward
final victory, SO your today's message
will prove equally decisive in winning
the peace and democracy"
Turks Are Satisfied.
Dispatches from Edwin Greenwald,
Associated Press correspondent in
Istanbul, said it was plain that the
Presidents proposals were accepted
in Turkey with profound satisfac-
ton. One well-informed source in
Ankara said the speech undoubtedly
would bring utter joy to Turks.
This is attacking the problem
solidly for the first time" Mr.. Green
wald quoted one important observer
as saying.
When a Turk uses the word
problem" in an international sense,
Mr.. Greenwald added, he has only
one meaning: Russia. Turkey has
kept nearly 1000, 900 men under arms
for seven years and is the only Rus
sian neighbor which consistently
and emphatically resisted every So
Wet pressure.
In this the Turks have been
united, despite pickering over in
ternal policies, but the cost of main
tanning troops along the Russian
and Bulgarian borders and astride
the Dardanelles has drained the

they believe the Presidents declara-
tion-assuming it will be approved
by Congress-will SO disturb the
balance of power on which the Rus
slams have been counting in that
part of the world that the Soviet
Union would be extremely reluctant
to pull troops out of the Balkans, as
by the satellite peace
treaties.
It is understood from reliable in
formants here that, as part of the
British-American collaboration in
the Middle East, the United States
had let Britain know it opposed any
substantial removal of British
troops from Greece. The British
have been saying for a year they
would get their troops out as soon
as possible.
While Soviet reaction to the
Presidents speech was awaited with
keen interest in diplomatic circles
and while the recall of the Russian
ENJOYS from London and Washing
ton was the subject of much specu.
lation; there seemed to be genera
agreement that the conduct of for.
eign affairs under the new American
Secretary would be more dynamic
than in many years, with the pres.

Aim to Check Expansion.
There can no longer be any doubt
that the highest American officials
acting on their declared belief In
the existence of a Soviet expansion
ist and aggressive attitude toward
the rest of the world-are now mov-
ing to pit American power and pres
tige against Russian power ano
prestige in an effort to check thai
expansion.
The immediate impact of this
development on the Big -Four ne.
gotations over Germany still re.
manned unclear, since the foreign
ministers were edging into the Ger
man problems slowly, with much
wrangling over familiar and we'll
worn issues.
The main development thus fal
was British Foreign Secretary Be.

eign Minister Molotov's agreement
to disclosure of the number of Ger.
man prisoners of war now being
held in Russia and elsewhere.
Gen. Marshall visited Mr.. Bevir

Georges Bidault today. American

Deputies Agree to Restrict
Austrian Army Officers

LONDON, Mar. 13 (P)-The Mos
COW radio said the Big Four Foreign
Ministers deputies agreed today to
bar from Austria's peacetime army
any officer who held the rank of
colonel or higher in the wartime
army.
The deputies met to continue
drafting an Austrian peace treaty.
The broadcast said Britain and
the United States opposed French
proposal to bar Austrian officers
who served in the Fascist army
and were more than twice pro-
noted"
Soviet Deputy Feodor Gousev,
supporting the plan, said it would
contribute to the characterization of
the Austrian forces, the report said.
The British deputy, Viscount
Hood, was quoted as saying it was
impossible to divide the Austrians
into bad and good.
The French deputy, Jacques Ca
mile Paris, presided.
The deputies for Germany "con-
tinued their discussion of the pro-
cedure for the preparation of the
peace treaty with Germany" Mos
COW reported. Their chairman was
Maurice Couve de Murville of
France.
The radio said Russia renewed q
plea for Albanian participation in
drafting the German peace treaty.
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
Vyshinsky told the Deputies, the
broadcast said, that Albania s status
as IAN Allied and associated power"
had been recognized in the italian
peace treaty, which awarded her
$5,000,000 in reparations.
Britain and the United States
opposed Albanian participation
when the Deputies debated the
subject in London. France sided
with Russia. b
The Moscow commentator said
the American and British Deputies,
Robert Murphy and Sir William
Strang, were unable to controvert
the logical assertions made today"
by Mr.. Vyshinsky.
Mr.. Murphy, the broadcast said,
"scornfully referred to the Albanian
government as a group of people
having power in their hands and
said he was doubtful whether power
should be in their hands"

Farm Mechanization

The United States is facing SER

mittee reported today.
The problem relates to farm labor

other agricultural developments. the
committee said in a preliminary
report on it's study of a long-range
farm program.
Noting that last years record
breaking crop production was ach-
ieved by farm population of only
&c, 100000 persons-some 5000, 900
fewer than that Of 1940-the report
stated:
There can be no doubt but that
mechanization, new crop practices
elimination of marginal farms, con-
solidation Of uneconomic farm units
will mean further displacement OF
people now making some kind Of
living from the land.
"In some sections-as in the cotton
and sugar beet areas-this situation
already threatens to become acute
as hand labor is replaced by
machines"

The ponies used for patio are
faster and more highly trained than
those used for polo. The ball is
on the ground, free. a great deal
of the time, and patio ponies are
taught to charge to where the ball
is and circle it madly. This circling
serves two purposes. 1t gives the
rider a chance to reach down and
get the ball, and it prevents other
ponies from getting close. Of course,
other ponies do get close, and the
result is vicious merry-go-round
