Durant's Arrival Awaited
For Trial in Jewel Theft

9 No word has been received yet a.
No when COL Jack We Duran6,
charged with stealing the Hesse
Jewels in Germany, will leave Paris
by plane for Washington for his
trial, spokesman for the military
district Of Washington said today.
The trial is still scheduled to
resume at $3.50 am. Monday in the
Pentagon.
Delay in bringing Col. Durant to
this country was attributed to de-
tails of transferring certain papers
in the trial, the arrival of a member
of the defense staff in Paris from
Frankfurt, and the weather.
The jewels and officials concerned
with the prosecution arrived here
earlier this week.
The spokesman said the trial
would be open to the public and
press although the room to be used
will have a capacity of only about
100. The Jewels will be on display
in the courtroom during the trial,
he said.

Two Hotels Robbed
BY Armed Bandit
Within 70 Minutes

Two hotel robberies within 20
minutes netted an armed bandit
$50 early today, but the quick
thinking Of night manager IN the
second hotel kept his loot from
reaching q higher figure.
The first robbery victim was
Edward p. Pratt, night clerk at the
Adams Hotel, 1905 I street NV. A
man OF about 80, wearing no over
coat despite the freezing weather,
entered the hotel at 2::20 am. and
forced Pratt at gunpoint to turn

Earlier in the evening the clerk
had taken most of the hotels re-.
eeipts to nearby hotel under the
same management. The Adams
Hotel has no safe.
Twenty minutes after the Adams
Hotel holdup a gunman sof similar
description entered the Senate Ho-

Hand over the cash or well put
a hole right through you" the night
manager was told.
While the first gunman held o.
pistol the other yanked out a plug
on the switchboard to prevent
Black from turning In an alarm.
Forcing him to open the cash drawer
they scooped up about $l07 and
relieved him of $36 from his own
wallet.
When one Of the robbers saw
the hotel safe, he ordered Black
to open 1t.
I'm only the night clerk here.
They gave me the combination once,
but the last time I got robbed they
took my wallet with the safe COM
bination In It," was the managers
reply. you can see for yourself
that it isn't In my wallet now"
The bandits checked the wallets
contents carefully. The combina-
ton was not to be found-it was
kept only in the night managers
memory. Abandoning the attempt,
they turned and fed, leaving intact
an undisclosed amount Of cash and
valuables belonging to guests of the

Committee this afternoon.
Pending the outcome of this meet
ing, leaders Of groups which al

the names of those they have chosen
to represent them.
Chest Director Herbert L. Willett,

calls from organizations which want
to join in the Chest study.
The Executive Committee, he said,

The principal question, he said
is whether federations should dele
gate small committees to work on
the study or send a representative
from each Of their member groups.
The executive committee, he said
will have to decide whether the
study should be made by group of
20 persons or should take on the

Groups which have. written to
request representation on the study
committee include the Washington

by other groups in telephone con-

Sharp Rise Reported Here
In VenereaI Disease Cases

New cases of venereal disease
have risen sharply in the District
during the past two years.
While there has been an In
crease in the number of cases, the
number of deaths resulting from
advanced cases have been cut
down, according to DR.. s. Ross
Taggart, director of the Venereal
Disease Bureau Of the District
Health Department. This is due
to better facilities for diagnosis
and improved treatment procedures
of early cases of the disease, he
says.
Syphilis has increased so per cent
over 1914, and gonorrhea has in
creased 100 per cent in the last two
years, DR.. Taggart said. Not only is
this increase reported in the Dis
trict, but also throughout the Ma
ton.
The United States Bureau of
Public Health Service reported that
each year 250,000 people are in
fected with syphilis in the United
States and at least 100000 per-
sons are infected with gonorrhea.
DR.. Taggart estimates there are
at least $4,000 cases Of infectious
venereal diseases in Washington
each year.

Jewish Agency Members
Summoned to Conference

LONDON, Feb. 6 LR.-British
leaders summoned Jewish Agency
representatives into an unscheduled
conference today apparently to dis
close details of a cabinet plan on
Palestine.
The cabinet discussed the Holy
Land this morning for the third
successive day, before Foreign Sec
retary Bevin called the Jewish lead
ers together.
Informed Whitehall sources gave
this picture:
There were two distinct plans
when British ministers tackled the
subject Tuesday. One was Colonial
Secretary Arthur Creech Jones
formula for partitioning the coun-
try into independent Jewish and
Arab states Immediately. The Sec
ond was Mr.. Bevin's scheme to
modify the so-called Morrison plan
for creating semi-autonomous Arab
and Jewish provinces in the Holy
Land.
A compromise settlement was
reached in principle but details
were still being hammered out.
Mr.. Creech Jones changed his
partition Immediately" proposal to
partition within five years." He
also called on the cabinet not to
impose any ceiling on immigration
into the Jewish zone, and to abolish
the Palestine police force.
Mr.. Bevin disagreed with Mr.
Creech Jones suggestions. The
foreign secretary, supported by
Prime Minister Attlee and Defense
Minister A. v. Alexander, demanded
a maximum Jewish immigration fig
ure. He urged that If the Jewish
Agency rejected his settlement Brit
ain should hand over the mandate
to the United Nations.

Another Sugar Stamp
Good for 10 Pounds
To Be Valid April |
BY III. A.,oeiated Press

The OPA will validate, April 1,
another sugar stamp good for 10
pounds instead of the usual S.
This ration will cover both can
ming and regular use.
The price agency also announced
that stamp No. So, currently good
for five pounds, will expire at Mid
night March 81 instead Of April 80
as originally planned.
All subsequent stamps will be good
for 10 pounds, OPA said yesterday.
Two Factors In Revision.
An OPA official told a reporter
two factors governed revision Of the
rationing procedure. These, he said,
are:
/. BY making each new stamp
good for 10 pounds, OPA will be
saved the expense, estimated at
around $1,50o,0oo, of issuing new
sugar ration books. After stamp
50 is used, the books will contain
only four and OPA wants them to
last through the year and possibly
beyond.
2. The change will prepare OPA
to handle any increase in the years
total sugar rations for household
use. r
Larger Supply Seen In 1947.
Secretary OF Agriculture Anderson
has said sugar imports may be
sufficient to allow an increase Of as
much as 10 pounds in the annual
ration. This would bring the 1947
total to 35 pounds as against Is
pounds last year. And the Office
Of Temporary Controls, Of which
OPA Is a branch, said in state
ment: Sc
Although 1t seems fairly certain
that sugar supplies will increase
during 1947, the exact amount Of
the increase is not known. It is
impossible, therefore, to state the
total amount Of the sugar ration for
1947, or the dates on which addi-
tional stamps will be validated later
in the year."
It pointed out that If the four
remaining stamps were good for only
S pounds they would not be "ade-
quate to provide consumers with
their proper ration"
