some, aging woman to work beyond
her capabilities in serving out her

band in an airplane crash by re-
ceiving special food rations, having

expense and by acquiring land at
low prices.

Mr. Hoover made a postwar world
survey as a special representative Of
President Truman. Recently he was
appointed by the Republican-con-
trolled House to serve on a 12-man
commission which will consider
ways Of streamlining the structure
of the Federal Government.
Mr.. Shalett said he asked the
former President how he would
treat with the apparent inability to
pin down the Russians on any
genuine cooperation for world
peace" and Mr.. Hoover replied:
PIN them down? You can't pin
them down. There isn't any truth
In them"
The writer said Mr.. Hoover out
lined to him three crusades' which
have absorbed his attention since
leaving ONCE.
THE first" Mr.. Hoover said. "is
ti-collectivism - anti-collectivism
in all its forms.
Doesn't Expect Depression.
The second was to keep us out OF
the war. We succeeded in that until
Pearl Harbor Up to that moment
80 per cent Of the American people
Senators and Congressman, would
have voted against it. But then, OF
course, we all came in to win.
The third is the question of relief
and food for the suffering people

Mr.. Shalett said the former Presi-

told him he did not believe this Ma

The former President was said

Two Of Four Flyers Stranded
On Caribbean Isle Return

stranded on an island 800 miles
south of Miami last week when their
plane ran out of gas in the Carib-
bean, were back home today but two
others were awaiting rescue on Swan
Island and Grand Cayman.
William A. Kruzen and his father

after hitch linking ride on the
freighter Samana. Their pilot, AL
bert James Off Orlando, remained
with the plane. A fourth member
of the party, X. E. Parker, is at
Grand Cayman. He stopped of
there on the southbound trip ex-
pecting to be picked up on the re-
turn flight a week ago today.
The Kruzens went to Swan Island
to inspect it for a proposed animal
quarantine station. They said gaso-
line was being sent to the plane by
ship, but they couldn't say when Mr.
James would end his role Of an air
going Robinson Crusoe, nor when
Mr.. Parker would get back.
The Coast Guard and Navy re-
fused to fly gasoline to them, saying
it was not an emergency case.

Farmers Talk Of Cut
In Tobacco PLANTING
As Auctions Close
BY ths Assseiot.d Press

WALDORF, Md, Sept. 2.-The
Southern Maryland tobacco auction
season closed yesterday amid price
slump that brought predictions OF
severe curtailment In next year S
planting.
AS the season ended at WaHorf
and La Plata, farmers grumbled over
failure of the 1916 crop to sell at
the high prices forecast. Many OF
them still had q lot of leaf un-
stripped and unsold hanging in their
barns despite an extension of the
auction sales which we're scheduled
originally to end August 20.
The season finished on the same
discordant note on which 1t opened
when farmers baked at what they
considered low offerings and held
up the start for few days. The
prices which maintained q fair
average during most of the sales
again declined in the last few weeks
and extension OF. the season failed
to help.
1fkCO8 DVWH W II AVnS8s
The prices averaged 47 cents a
pound for awhile, but steady de-
clines brought them down to A
cents last week.
This compared to last years av-
erage of 81 cents and Southern
Maryland farmers had expected this
season to be equally as good since
they had a record crop of excellent
quality.
The record crop had been planted
with the encouragement OF State and
Federal agencies. When it failed to
produce the promised profits, and,
in fact, left many planters with
losses. the talk of greatly reduced
growing swelled In volume.
May Curtaii 1S4s Crop.
The planters can't do anything
about next years market, since that
crop is already planted and growing.
But they are discussing crop cur
tailment for lS48.
80 Warehouses at Hughesville and
Marlboro closed last Friday.
Approximately $4,000 pounds were
sold yesterday at La Plata and 10000
at Waldorf.
Warehousemen said that approx
mately 100000 pounds of the 1946
harvest remain unstripped in farm
ers' barns. This would indicate that
the 1916 crop was about $4,000 600
pounds, instead of the 100000 900 to
AZ, 600 900 previously estimated.

estimate the total increase per
patient-
Mr.. Burbridge estimated that
about two thirds of the patients at
Freedmen's Hospital are District
residents, but less than half of
these, approximately 80 per cent
of the total patients. are paid for
by the District Government.
The amount the District must pay
the Federal Government for taking
care of INDECENT cases is set each
year by dividing the hospitals esti-
mated total operatin expenses for
the next fiscal year by the expected
total number of patients, thus
arriving at an average pei diem
patient cost.
When the rates are set, they will
be retroactive to the beginning OF
the current fiscal year, last July /.
Private Patients Pay 81 and $5.
Freedmen's patients who can. pay
their own expenses are now charged
81 for private room and IS for
ward accommodations. When
charges for treatments and extra
services are included, they pay
about the same as the District is re-
quired to pay for INDECENT cases.
The rates for paying patients are
set by the Federal Security admin
istrator, independently of the Bud
get Bureau. There was no imme-
diate indication of a general in
crease.
In addition to Gallinger and
Freedmen's, the District govern
ment has contracts to send some of
it's patients to Emergency, Casualty
and Children's Hospitals.
The rates at these voluntary hos
pitals for the Districts charity cases
were set last year at $5 day, ex-
cluding the cost of laboratory and
other services and special treat
ments.
An increase is being considered in
these fees, however. At Children's
Hospital, the increase is expected to
boost the daily fee to $3.50. accord
ing to the District auditor, Arthur
r. Pilkerton.

Pvt. Garrett had been suspended
without pay since June 5.
Pvt. Garrett was restored to the
payroll and active duty following
the boards decision on July 25.
Storms Opinion Upheld.
Meanwhile, fellow officers specu-
lated on which drew the heavier
penalty-Pvt. Stewart. whose back
pay from July "a while he was not
working will defray most of his fine,
or Pvt Garrett, who must pay his
fine from the salary he earned while
on duty.
Besides the Fitzpatrick incident,
the two policemen were involved
In another incident on the same
night. Pvt. Garrett, who was con-
victed by the board for neglect Of
duty, conduct unbecoming an off,
Ger and willfui misstatement of fact
to a superior officer, accompa MED
Pvt. Stewart to a tavern in George
town. There the two policemen
engaged in an argument with the
counterman, who testified later that
Pvt Garrett threw glass of to-
mato juice in his face. The charges
against Pvt Garrett were an out
growth of this row.
James j. Laughlin, attorney for
Pvt. Stewart, had appealed the find
/ ing of the trial board which passed
sentence after a public hearing.
1t was announced at police head
quarters that Pvt. Stewart would be
assigned to the 5th Precinct and
would go on duty at pm. today.
In reinstating Pvt. Stewart, the
Commissioners upheld the dissent
ing opinion of Capt. Walter E.
Storm of the 18th Precinct, who
had voted for a $400 fine in lieu of
dismissal.
Forwarding the boards recon-
mendations to the Commissioners.
Police Chief Robert j. Barrett said
he respectfully invited attention"
to Capt. Storms dissenting opinion.
The Commissioners apparently
construed this to mean Chief Bar
rett was not in sympathy with the
majority IcpOit
On Duty at Time.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick charged that Pvt.
Stewart struck him with something
resembling a blackjack after arrest
ing him in Georgetown on the night
in question. The witness said Pvt.
Garrett stood by without interfering.
Pvt. Stewart, who was off duty
and out of uniform at the time, said
Mr.. Fitzpatrick cursed him and re-
sisted arrest.
Pvt. Stewart declared the college
student cursed him, threatened re-
prisals and resisted arrest, charges
which the complainant denied.
Regarding the action OF the Com
missioners, Chairman John Russell
Young said: Taking everything
into consideration we thought fine
instead of dismissal was fair way
to handle this case. A $400 fine is
very heavy fine for policeman"
Mr.. Young said it was not unusual
for the Commissioners to ignore in
whole or part the recommendations
of the trial boards, as in the recent
case OF Fire Capt. William ". James.
In the case Of Pvt. Stewart. he
said, the policeman was not respon-
sible for an unreasonable delay"

tention to the discussions in Lon

these matters concern Germany as

'The United States Government
obviously agrees that decisions deal
ing with Germany as a whole can
be taken only by agreement be-
tween the four occupying powers
which this Government continues
to hope will be achieved. However,
the United States Government Is
unable to accept the interpretations
of the agreements relating to Ger
many on which the position OF the
Soviet government appears to be
based.
For over two years the United
States Government has sought per-
sistently to reach agreements on
Evening star., 1947-09-02

matters affecting Germany as a
whole and to implement the pro-
visions OF the Berlin Potsdam)
agreeemnt of 1s45, which state that
Germany should be treated as q
single economic unit and to this end
certain common policies should be
established.
Declares Objectives Observed.
"The level of industry for Ger
many as whole adopted on March
n, 1916, was in fact expressly based
on the assumption that Germany
would be treated as q single eco
nomic unit. Subsequent to the
of the Council Of Foreign
Ministers in Moscow this year, when
it became clear that there was no
prospect of an early achievement of
this objective, it became necessary
to adjust the level of industrial ac-
tivity in the American and British
zones.
In effecting this adjustment in
the United States and British zones
the main objectives in the Berlin
agreement of eliminating the Ger
man war potential, developing Ger
msny's agriculture, and peaceful
industries and enabling Germany to
maintain herself without external
assistance, are being observed.
"The Soviet government Is Ger
tainly aware of the importance of
German production to the economic
rehabilitation Of Europe. This is
particularly true in respect of coal
from the Ruhr area of Germany.
Furthermore, the failure of the
Soviet government to implement the
Berlin agreement has placed upon
the United States heavy financial
burden in the occupation of Ger
many.
Feels Course Is Justified.
The United States Government
is unable to accept the thesis that
nothing can be done to alleviate
the financial burden Of the United
States or 20 develop within the
framework Of the Berlin agreement
the contribution of the Western
zones OF Germany to the economic
reconstruction of Europe until the
consent of the Soviet government
has been obtained.
Pending the fulfillment of the
quadripartite agreement the United
States feels justified in pursuing OBJ
jectives which have been commonly
agreed and making arrangements
for that purpose with any other oc-
cupying power willing to work to-
ward the common end"
