Agents Investigate Disappearance; Of ] Crown Jewels otl|.

 launched an intensive investigation Saturday of the mysterious disap. pearance of part Of a fabulous col lection of German crown jewels, and a stepSon of the last Kaiser said he thought the Russians were involved.
 Prince Ferdinand valued the % missing items at S2.000,000 and the entire collection at $5,000,000. American criminal investigation department agents previously re- ported the missing portion was worth more than $50o,000 and the whole collection of 95 pieces about $l,O0O,000.
 The jewels belonged to Ferdi- nand's mother, Princess Hermine, widow of Kaiser Wilhelm II. They were smuggled from the Russian occupied zone of Germany, and some quarters speculated that the Russians might demand that the balance of the treasure, now in American custody, be returned to their zone.
 American agents said a young woman friend of the 34-year-old prince spirited the jewels from Princess Hermine, at Frankfurt on-O Oder, to her son in the Ameri- can zone. Princess Hermine died in the Russian-zone city Thursday.
 The prince said he had submit ted to a truth serum test to SUD- port the version of the mystery he unfolded to American authorities.
 The prince said the jewels van ished from his trunk while he was living in the American sector of Berlin.
 The investigators said that when they were called in they found the remaining jewels partly in the turned trunk and partly in a small suitcase on the table in the princes room. To keep them safe they took them into custody and they are now in a U. S-guarded repository at Frankfurt-on- Main in the American occupation zone to await disposition of Hermine's estate.
 By accident. we found she still had some of the jewels belonging to Princess Hermine which she had not turned over to the Prince" said O. R. Carlucci, director of the army's criminal investigation de- partment.
 Carlucci said he would ask the Russians for a report on Princess Hermine's death on the grounds that underworld characters seek ing the royal jewels she possessed might have been involved. Car lucci said a physician of the Kali ser's widow reported "she was in apparent good health" before her death last Thursday in the Russian zone.
 The investigator said none of the 29 pieces of jewelry, rich in precious stones, which the prince reported missing was among the gems recovered.
 Army agents said they still were unable to locate the missing treas ures, which Ferdinand said were spirited from his trunk while he was living in the U. s. sector of

Reluctant Compliance
with Taft Law Voted
By Newspaper Guild
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The CIC
American Newspaper Guilds inter
national Executive Board has voted
reluctantly and with great. repug-
nance" to comply with Taft Hartley
law provisions for qualification be-
fore the National Labor Relations
Board by signing non-communist
affidayits and filing financial state
ments.
The action was taken last night by
an 11-to-2 vote. The board voted
to sign the affidavits and to supply
the specified data within three
weeks.
Harry Martin of Memphis, newly
elected guild president, issued this
statement:
I'VE are taking this step with ex-
treme reluctance and with a great
deal of repugnance because OF our
frank feeling that the Taft-Hartley
Act infringes on our rights as indi-
viduals and as union members.
I'VE acted to protect the posi-
bility that there may be isolated
instances OF guild locals who will
need resort to the NLRB as their
only recourse to secure collective
bargaining"
The motion to comply with the
acts provisions declared that de-
spite our decision to qualify, we
will refrain from using the NLRE
for representation proceedings OF
unfair labor practice charges, or fol
the conduct Of union security elec-
tions, unless such exceptional cir
cumstances prevail that no Other
practical course Of action appears
