Kon-Tiki Expedition
Nav Touch Land Soon

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (NANA:-
Wirelessed position reports from the
Kon-Tiki raft expedition indicate
that the six young scientists and
their balsa wood craft are now well
in among the Tuapotu Island chain.
Several days agothey spotted their
first land in three months. but the
vagaries of wind and tide prevented
them from landing on tiny Puka-
puka. j.,
Their present position-radioed
as 140 degrees west, Is degrees ID
minutes south-would set them
slightly north of the second island
along their course, Angatu. Though
they probably will not land there,
their position puts the raft directly
in line to touch at the third island,
Takume Atoll. Takume is approx
mately 100 miles beyond Angatu-
a normal three-day travelling time
for the 30-odd-miles-per-day craft.
1t is almost inevitable that the
men will lard sooc-either inten-
tionally or by accident. The un-

If his so workers are due overtime

In an answer filed yesterday to

court should consider employees &C
tiyities which are "solely for their

some hope that the Government,
knowing about me, would not be
so small-minded as to persecute
me for something which happened
before the war and which did no
body in this country any harm"
Reads From His Book.
Earlier, Esler claimed In effect
that he told the Government he
was a Communist in the exit per-
NIT application by admitting he
was a co-author of a book entitled,
THE Lesson Of Germany" pub
lished in New York in 1915.
Eisler was permitted to read the
jury a few sentences from the work,
extolling the German Communist
party.
Anybody with the slightest un-
derstanding would know this had
been written by German Com
munist," Eisler said.
ut Is not a book for simple agita-
ton or for dialy use," he added
modestly. 1T Is an attempt at a
serious study"
Chief Defense Counsel Abraham
]. Isserman assured the court, I'VE
have no intention Of reading this
work aloud here"
II would be terrified at the
thought of It," said Justice James
w. Morris.
Denies Prosecution Testimony.
Eisler's lawyers were expected to
finish their questioning of him today
after which Assistant United States
Attorney William Hitz, prosecuting
the passport fraud case, was sched-
uled to begin a searching cross-ex-
animation.
When the District Court trial
recessed last night, Eisler still was
going strong after seven hours on
the witness stand. Methodically, in
the course Of the afternoon, he had
given the lie to practically every
prosecution witness appearing
against him.
There was q certain variety in
his answers, as Mr.. Isserman asked
him about the truth Of this or
that statement by a Government
witness. Sometimes Eisler said
Really not" Six times In q row
lit was Definitely not" Once it
was Impossible"
Always, the burden Of Eisler's
contention was clear: The Govern
ment - he said it ruefully - was
badly mistaken"
Came Back Is Refugee.
As Eisler told 1t, he was In the
United States between 1888 and 1885
as a member Of the anti-fascist I'M
derground, trying to enlist American
aid in the fight against Hitler.
And when he came back to this
country in 1941, he said, 1t was as
refugee from a French concentra-
ton camp, en- route to Mexico. He
did not want to stay here, but war
time restrictions prevented him from
leaving, he said. In that period
too, the jury learned, Eisler did his
bit for the Allied cause.
He gave blood twice to the Amer
lean Red Cross and served as q
member In good standing OF the
United States Citizens Defense
Corps in New York. Documentation
to this effect was introduced in evi-
dence by the defense.
That was not all. Mr.. Tsserman

But I had to take the calculated

knew the right answer.

I Protestant Clerics
Visit Stepinac in Cell
By the Assoeiotsd Press

BELGRADE, Aug. GA group OF
seven American Protestant clergy
men visited Archbishop Alojzijc
Stepinac in his cell at Lepoglava
Prison near Zagreb yesterday and
issued a signed statement declaring
the former head Of the Catholic
Church in Yugoslavia was In good
health.
The statement said Archbishop
Stepinac, who is serving a 16-year
term on a war crimes conviction,
had apparently not been mistreated
and was permitted to perform reli-
gious rites in prison.
I'VE conversed In French and
German with Stepinac in his room" ;"
the clergymen's statement said.
"Stepinac stated his food was good,
that he was comfortable and had
been fortunate in having good
health during the time Of his i'm
prisonment.
Archbishop Stepinac told his
visitors that there were no restric-
tions on his religious liberty In
prison.
He stated he had a Bible in
Croatian and Latin" the statement
said.
1t added that the prelate also had
"other books and portable type
writer, and he celebrates mass daily
in a specially provided chapel next
to his room"
"1n face of the facts stated above" !"
the statement said, I'VE can assert
emphatically that reports of mis-
treatment of Stepinac were false and
provocative"

BY the Assoeioisd Press

BUDAPEST, Aug. 6.-The Ameri-

garian government concerning the
arrest Of Stephen Thuransky, an
American citizen and official Hun
garian reasons for the arrest, which

OF the hands of the political police
and into an American car.

Roosevelt Volunteers
To Answer Charges
Involving Public

Before leaving for Maine Elliott
Roosevelt held press conference
at the Hotel Statler last night and
declared Johnny Meyer is not pay
ing for this meeting"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was paying
for his own room, which I can
very Ill afford"
Describing himself as a private
citizen, who Is not running for pub
lie of1ce," he told reporters: "If at
any time you think there is some
thing that the American public has
a right to know about whether
have hurt in any way the Govern
ment Of the United States and
thereby the people of this country,
I am perfectly willing to answer
any charge Of any newspaper"
He said he wanted the record
clear as to my entire past life, and
for any action I may take in the
future you will be entitled to a
complete explanation at the time
that it happens, not years later"
AS for his present occupation and
immediate future he commented: 'I
am writing. I am unfortunately not
able to work for anybody with an
expense account. am writing be-
cause this Is my only means of
livelihood. There are number OF
people who are desirous of employ
ing me, but I do not think it ad-
visable."
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked about his
earlier complaint that Howard
Hughes Aircraft Co. entertainment
expense records involving him were
made public before he testified.
Il have no DESIRE" he replied,
ITO inlpugn the honesty, integrity or
the statements Of any member of
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee that to the best of their
knowledge no one gave out that in
formation"
While thanking the press In gen.
eral for what he said was fair and
accurate reporting Of the hearings,
he criticized some segments of the
press for distortion and malice"
He asserted that most of the press
treated him unfairly in the Blaze"
incident concerning air transporta-
ton OF his dog during wartime.
This has kept me from being
able to hold up my head, and I still
receive many scurrilous letters" he
added.
Another sore spot, he said, was
the widespread criticism he received
at the time Of his promotion to the
rank Of brgadier general.
I guess I'll have to live with 1t
the rest Of my life that I achieved
high rank because I was a son of
Franklin D. Roosevelt" he said.
