The Quantico radio station said
the pilot apparently was far to the

his last call.
A message from the plane also
was heard at Quantico at GIT pm

The plane, returning to its Nor
folk base from Portsmouth, N. H.,
notified the Washington National
Airport at 4:46 pm. it was heading
straight to Norfolk.
The missing aircraft passed over
Boston shortly after checking out
of the New Hampshire city and was
reported over New York City at 3:31
pm. flying over snow storm at
5000 feet. It reached the air over
Washington at about 4:30 pm.
A Navy spokesman at Norfolk
told The Star early today that the
landing strip there was closed be-
cause of storms, at the time the
plane was due to land. The plane
apparently lost its way after leaving
Washington.
The plane, when last heard from,
presumably had enough fuel for
about IS minutes of flight A Navy
spokesman said the remaining fuel
could have carried the plane out
over the Atlantic, into Western
Maryland, Virginia or West Vir-
einia, as far south as the Carolinas
or into Pennsylvania, New York or
New Jersey.

Fields )efied House,
Prosecution Charges
In Closing Argument

Assistant United States Attorney
william Hitz. in closing arguments
to a District Court jury today,
charged that Benjamin r. Fields
deliberately defied the House Sur
plus Property Committee.
Fields is charged with contempt
of Congress in failing to give the
committee all his financial records
last August in a surplus bronze-wire
screen sale. The case is expected to
go to the jury later today.
Mr.. Hitz declared that Fields, in
withholding information from the
committee, hampered it in its IN
vestigation and legislative recon-
mendations. The prosecutor told
the jury Fields had made SO per
cent profit on the wire deal without
putting up a nickel.
Fields got wholesalers rating
from the War Assets Administration,
Mr.. Hitz said, although he was not
officially rated as such on the papers
involved. The prosecutor recalled
that Fields got a $12 1886 check from
C. B. War; of Oklahoma City for
the sale, but Fields paid WAA only
$8,085 for the wire.
Mr.. Hitz said that Fields admitted
he never again used John Doe"
memo, such as he gave the commit
tee to show how the wire sale COM
mission was split.
I'VE do not know yet who the
John Doe was who got the $500"
Mr.. Hitz said.
Fields explanation is that $40o
was for a former associate of Will
liam Howard Payne, Washington
lawyer, who represented Mr.. War;
here.
Justice Alexander Holtzod, pre-,
siding at the trial, arranged to give
opposing counsel total of three
hours for closing arguments. In
structions from the court are ex-
pected to take only about half an

Chinese Communists
10 Hold Fire 10 LET
Americans Evacuaie
BY the Assoeiossd Press

PEIPING, Feb. 5.-The Communist
commissioner at executive head
quarters told the Associated Press
tonight that Communist headquar-
tiers at Yenan has ordered its troops
to cease attacking the Peiping-
Tientsin Railroad when the Ameri-
can branch at headquarters begins
evacuating.
Communist guerrillas long have
harassed the railway and frequently
have interrupted service for several
days at time by cutting rails. Only
q few days ago, the government re-
stored 100-yard portion the guer-
yillas had destroyed.
The railway Is the communica-
lions link with Tientsin and its port,
Tangku, from which nearly 1000
American personnel and dependents
ct headquarters will sail soon. Evac-
uation of all American personnel was
ordered last week. to be followed by
the withdrawal Of United States
Marines.
The Americans expect to receive
tomorrow the announcement of their
D-day-in this case-departure date.
Reds Increase Pressure.
Elsewhere increasing Chinese
Communist pressure on the Shansi
Province domain of Gov. Yen Shi-
shan was reported in government
dispatches.
The Communists were said to be
isolating the big city of Fenyang,
70 miles southwest of the Shansi
capital Of Taiyuan. The independ-
ent newspaper Hsin Min Pao re-
ported that conditions in Central
Shansi had become critical, with
pressure applied on Fenyang from
the north and northeast.

Heroin Worth S250,O00
Seized al New York Dock
BY the Assoeioisd Press

The Treasury yesterday announced
the seizure of 100 ounces of heroin
with an underworld value of $3.50, 600
at a New York dockside. Oficials
called 1t the most valuable drug
haul In nine years.
Deputy Customs Commissioner E.
J. Shamhart said two packages con-
tanning 16 ounces were found in the
clothing of Poggi Angi Marie, sea-
man. The rest was concealed aboard
an American freighter on which he
was a creWman.
Mr.. Shamhart identified Marie as
a Corsican who came to this country
in 1941, and the ship as the S. S.
John Ericsson, moored at Pier 80 in
the North River.
Heroin, one of the narcotics, is re-
ported by custom officers here to be
valued in underworld circles at this
time at $500 an ounce.

Although the Army's XS-1, with
its four rocket motors, is believed
capable of breaking through the wall

preaching the barrier with great
caution in tests scheduled to con-

possibility that the pilot might be
trapped in an emergency, sugges-
tions have been made for conducting
super-sonic tests by remote radio
control. The Army is known to have
other models on order. but their pro-
duction probably will be delayed

the prediction is for about 100000
employees in the postwar period.
What is the reason for the pre-
dicted $1,000 increase over 1888?
The answer lies in the fact that
the Government has expanded its
operations due to the war and the
postwar problems. With all the ex-
penditure slashes planned for the
War and Navy Departments, these
departments still will have many
more employees than they had in the
years before Pearl Harbor Then,
too, the Veterans Administration
and the Post Office Department
have vastly expanded their opera
tions. The National Housing Agency
is another Federal bureau putting
on more people. Consequently, many
war service employees fired from
other agencies are able to find jobs
with one of these expanding bu-
reaus.
Because the Government Is the
key industry of Washington, local
businessmen are taking keen in
terest in the personnel situation
The utilities, always an accurate
barometer of the economic health
of a city, report that their current
business is better than it was last
year. And businessmen generally
say conditions are good.
Washington's business community
also has foreseen absorption OF some
of the dismissed Federal employees
who desire to remain here, provid-
ing, of course. that the Govern
ment's personnel cuts are not toe
drastic.
Contributing to the general eco
nomic stability are such factors as
a feeling that the average Govern
ment employe today is little more
substantial than many employed
during the war. Gone from the
local scene are thousands of single
girls who worked as Government
stenographers and typists, who
never considered Washington as

At least once month, every family

Because the Mormons kept the
essentials of their way of life, they've
been able to contribute all the more
to the rest of the country. In the
war, $500 of their sons died in &C
ton. Among those who came back,
the case of Air Forces Veteran Peter
Nelson Hansen is not unusual:
Captured by the Japanese on
Corregidor, Hansen went through
AZ months of hell. When rescued in
September, 1945, he was down to
120 pounds, hardly more than half
his normal weight. Returning to Salt
Lake City after testifying in the
War Crimes trials, Hansen visited
his church authorities with a request
- ''in case they found him worthy"
Two weeks later, he had his answer
- the "call'' to accept foreign
mission. AS the President of the
Mormon Church in Japan, Peter
Hansen is now one of 3, 1000 mission

DEEP in human nature lies the

be traced to the psychology of mil
