Rent Rise Authorized
In 1,l& Apartments.
of Buckingham

The Alexandria Arlington OPA
rent Office has authorized a rent in
crease for 1,248 apartments in Buck
ingham Community, 313 North
Glebe road. Arlington. I. Chance
Buchanan, director of the rent office,
has announced.
The boost will average S205 a
month, and total $2,562 a month,
amounting to s30,744 year.
Rents for about $50 apartments
were not changed.
On 983 apartments, the increases
range from 81 to 81 month. The
rest of the apartments affected re-
ceived somewhat higher increases,
with two given the maximum in
crease of $3.50.
Scale Approved in 1910.
Mr.. Buchanan said the effect of
the OPA action was to authorize
the management to charge a revised
scale of rents approved in 1910 by
the Federal Housing Administration,
which financed the project.
In 107 cases, the new scale had
been put into effect prior to the
rent freeze" date, January /, 1941.
In those cases OPA permitted the
higher scale to be charged through
out the war period.
In Effect April 1.
The management expects to put
the increased rentals into effect as
of April /, Mr.. Buchanan said.
Bulk of the new rental charges
will range from s46.50 for inside
one-bedroom apartments to $61.50
for two-bedroom apartments. A few
smaller apartments in the develop
ment will rent for low of $38, and
few larger apartments for a high
of $72, Mr.. Buchanan said.
The community has 1923 units.
some of which we're built subsequent
to the rent freeze and, therefore,
obtained a rent schedule different
from that set by the freeze" These
apartments, as well as those on
which increases were put into effect
before January /, 1941, are not af-
fected by the new rent boost.

u. n. Group Receives
Red Demand 10 Study
Atom Plan Promptly
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar. 26--
An emphatic Russian demand for
immediate consideration of the
Soviet plan for harnessing the atom
confronted delegates to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission
today.
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet dele
gate and chairman of the commits
sion, put the issue up to the dele
gates during a closed meeting of the
Working Committee of the commits
sion last night. Mr.. Gromyko
warned that his proposals could not
be "by- passed" and said they would
have to be considered in attempts
to reach agreement.
He added that any moves to pass
over his proposals would be resisted.
No Decision in Committee.
The committee adjourned until
next Monday without decision on
its plan of work. The delegates
were expected to confer frequently
among themselves before the next
session.
The Russian proposals were put
before the U. N. Security Council
in February as it was discussing
the first report of the Atomic
Energy Commission, which was
based principally on the American
plan for atomic control. The Rus
sian and American plans are far
apart on fundamental principles.
Mr.. Gromyko told the committee
members that his proposals had not
been discussed in the Security
Council or in the Atomic. Energy
Commission. Now, he said. some
members want to take up the prob
lem without discussing them.
He said it would be better to dis
cuss the main questions now and
not siaelve them.
Ask Whole Problem Be Taken.
The American deputy on the COM
mission, Frederick H. Osborn, had
joined with Paul Hasluck of Aus
tralia and Sir Alexander Cadogan
of Great Britain in request that
the committee take up the problem
as whole.
Mr.. Gromyko said that If this
procedure were adopted it would be
accepted without the consent of the
Russian delegation-and he asked
if that would make agreement any
easier.
Mr.. Hasluck and Mr.. Osborn as
sured Mr.. Gromyko that no attempt
was being made to bypass the Rus
sian proposals.

According to the papers filed through
Attorney Milford F. Schwartz, half
interest in the property was left by
Mrs. Yoelson's late husband, Rabbi
Moses Reuben Yoelson, who died
without leaving will in December,
1945.
Subsequently, the petition said,
their seven sons and daughters, in
cluding Al Jolson, signed over unelr

mother, and Mrs. Yoelson and her

Yoelson, who also is administrator
of the estate of Rabbi Yoelson, are
named technical defendants in the
action.

Emperor Penguin Dies at Zoo;
Pined Away After Mates Death
Only One in Captivity
Had to Be Force-Fed
Since Lost April

The only emperor penguin in cap
tivity has died at the Washington
Zoo-possibly of a broken heart
after one brief fling at romance
which ended last April with the
death Of his mate
r: Assistant Headkeeper Malcolm
Davis today told Of his death last
Thursday following period in
which he had no interest in living
and had to be force fed. The en-
peror just fell over on his side and
died, Mr.. Davis said. He had been
with the Zoo since arriving from
the Antarctic with the Byrd ex-
pedition in 1941.
The death reduced the Zoos pen
euin population to Is, all of smaller
varieties. Still at the Zoo to amuse
visitors are Is rock-hopper pen
gums, Humbolts and 3 jackass
penguins.
Three of the emperors were
brought back to the zoo in 1941. One
of them died last March and then
1t was that Mr.. Davis noticed the
other two were beginning to keep
steady company in their refrigerated
home. BY keeping close watch on
the progress of the courtship, Mr..
Davis became the only man known
to have observed this event. Usually
emperor penguins reserve a spot on
some remote Antarctic ice shelf in
the sub-zero, willter-long darkness
for their courtship.
The courtship lasted a week, Mr..
Davis said, although the birds never
mated and produced no eggs.
After the death of the female the
emperor stopped eating, Mr.. Davis
said.
The force feeding kept him going
for time but he definitely was
through with his interest in life.
He sat in his cage with his back
to the public which he once enjoyed
observing.
Emperors, because they come from
relatively germ-free region of ice
and snow. usually die soon in
captivity of respiratory ailments

Hearing Sought Here
To Obtain Cur|ey's
Release From Jail

Attorneys for James M. Curley,
mayor OF Boston, now serving a six
to 18-month mail fraud sentence in
the Federal House of Correction at
Danbury, Conn, today were seeking
a hearing in District Court here to
obtain his release.
William E. Leahy and Nicholas J.
Chase, Washington lawyers who
represented Curley during his trial
in District Court, are attempting to
have definite date set for the hear
ing.
Attorney Walter I. Sundfun of
Providence. r. l.. who now has en-
tered the case, fled a motion for
correction or reduction of sentence"
here Saturday.
A memorandum contended that
some doubt exists in the minds of
certain justices as to Curleys guilt
and takes issue with the opinion of
Justice James M. Proctor. who sem
fenced Curley. Justice Proctor was
wrong in holding that Curley's con-
vction on charges of mail fraud and
conspiracy was his second felony
conviction, 1t was stated. This

banned probation for Curley, Justice
Proctor held. Both Curley and one
of his sons are ill.
1t was held that only a misde-
meanor was charged when Curley
was convicted in 1903 for con-
spiracy by impersonating another
man in taking Civil Service ex.
animation. Such an offense was not
classified as. felony until 1909. ac-
cordfng to the attorneys. Accord
ingly, they say, Curley has been
eligible for probation.
Mr.. Sundlun said he has been re-
tanned by Curley and his family and

This one lived more than six years
at the zoo, new record.
He was estimated to be about IS
or 40 years old, a mature age for
emperor penguins.
Today the emperor was sent to
the Smithsonian Institution for
stuffing. He will take his place there
with other exhibits. An autopsy
was not ordered on the body, even
though this is about the only way
to determine definitely the sex of a
penguin.
Mr.. Davis is pretty certain he was
a male because of his courting
activities.

Italian, Playing Cupid, Helped
ToRescue MussoIini, Nozi Saws
lnnoeentIy Revealed
Duee's Hideowoy,
Skorzeny Relates
by Tom Reedv
By Tom Reedy
Assoeiotsd Pres. s.off Correspondent

Associoted Press Stoff Correspondent
DACHAU, Germany, Aug. A
romantic italian merchant who
thought he was only playing cupid
helped Adolf Hitler rescue Benito
Mussolini, according to a story told
here yesterday-three years after
the death of the Duce.
The story came from the prison
cell of SIS Col. Otto Skorzeny, giant
paratrooper whose feats made him
the most publicized German soldier
of the war. The 6-foot-5 Skorzeny
wrote a 42-page account of his
abduction of Mussolini on Hitler's
orders.
Meeting the press in advance of
his trial on charges of violating the
laws of war, Skorzeny also denied
he ever tried to kidnap Gen. Nsen-
hover. But he said he snatched
Hungary's Admiral Nicholas Horthy
from the advancing Russians.
Skorzeny's personal account of his
capture of Mussolini after a crash
glider landing high in the Apprentices
is a lurid tale of derring-do. The
project was ordered by Hitler in
the spring of 1943 after the Italians
installed Marshal Badoglio as head
of the state.
He CHitler) informed me-" Skor-
zeny said, that he was firmly re-
solved not to leave his friend Musso-
lini in the, lurch and to prevent
under all circumstances his extra
dition to the Allies. Mussolini was
for him not only an ally but he also
called him his one and only great
friend, The last Of the ancient
Romans of the Caesarian tradition. I"
Under Gen. Kurt Student, the
SIS colonel said. he set out with a
staff of five to find the Duce, we'll
hidden by the Badoglio government.
Skorzeny secured italy for four
months. In September, he heard
Mussolini might be held in the
Apprentices near Grasso. He spoke
to an italian merchant:
II invented a girl friend from
Rome who had fled in fear of Allied
bomb attacks and begged him to
help me send her a love letter. The
Italian informed me that the Gran
Sasso Valley was entirely cordoned
off and that the resort hotel evicted
its personnel and the only way of
access was out of bounds of all traf-
fc."
The man, still anxious to try to
deliver the love letter." reported to
Skorzeny later rumor that all the
secrecy had something to do with
Mussolini.
Skorzeny prepared IL gIders, each
with nine men, and took off for the
6,000-foot aerie. The first two
crashed almost as soon as they took
off.
Behind a cloud bank the others
dove on the mountain. Skorzeny
landed so feet from the hotel. The
Italian guards were too surprised to
act and "the hotel was surrounded
without resistance"
Il reported to Mussolini: 'Duce,
the Feuhrer has sent me as q token
of his loyal friendship Mussolini
embraced me and assured that he
had daily expected his extradition
to the Allies but that he would have
put an end to his life beforehand. 4"
Skorzeny decided to take off from
an improvised- field in a Storch
plane built for one or two pas
sengers.

Army Expects 10 Keep
50 Plants Prepared
For War Production
By the Asxoe;oted pr~..

The War Department expects to
keep go complete Government
owned industrial plants, worth 81
301 .348 900, in readiness for special.
lied production should another war
threaten this country, it disclosed
yesterday.
Maintaining the plants in readi-
ness Is part of the Army's plan for
Industrial mobilization. Secretary of
War Royal said in report covering
the period July l, 1945 to June 80,
l947.
The report was compiled unoer
his direction while he was Under
Secretary Of War, for submission to
Robert Patterson. whom he sue
ceeded as Secretary of War.
Mr.. Royal brought out that in
study Of passive defense measures
the War Department has authorized
the Chief of Engineers to spend
s150,000 this year to investigate and
develop construction of underground
facilities.
Test Funds Approved.
The department has likewise ap-
proved expenditure of $250.O00 by
the Chief of Engineers to determine
ways IN which "a chemical pro-
cessing plant (currently operating
above groundD" and an Ordnance
Department fire-control instrument
plant can be moved underground.
Mr.. Royal said that the Army Air
Forces have been studying problems
relating to manufacture of critical
aircraft components in underground
installations. AS a result of these
studies, Mr.. Royal reported, it is
planned to obtain funds during
1948 to enable the chief of engineers
to construct a pilot plant under
ground.
Mr.. Royal commented that twice
within generation. American in
dustry has demonstrated that, given
adequate time to convert to NUM-
tions production, it can outproduce
any other nation In the world
Time Is Key Factor.
He added, however, that the rapid
advances of science make it un-
likely that time will again be on
our side"
The War Department is facing
the situation realistically in its
preparation to maintain our future
security =.
. THE ultimate objective Of the
plans is to have in stock, or to
provide by prompt production in
our. arsenals and standby plants,
sufficient material to resist an ag-
gressor during the first stage"
Cost of maintaining the so plants
Is estimated at $25, ,l22 900 annually
il none is leased for civilian. use
meanwhile.
With the maximum possible num-
Der OF plants leased out, the depart
ment estimates it could save $10,-
$4,000 annually.
In addition to the standby plants
the War Department has requested
legislation to authorize the War
Assets Administration to sell or
lease II other industrial plants
costing $1,400, 100000, earmarked so
as to be taken over by the Secre-
tary of War on 120 days notice if
necessary.
Furthermore, the War Depart
ment has authorized, pending ade-
quate legislation, an industrial
equipment reserve consisting of
776,393 machine tools and produc-
tive equipment, costing $3.50, ,OO0, 900,
earmarked for the Army Air Forces
and technical services.
The Royal report relates that
through the Army and Navy NUM-
tions Board, the War Department
is participating in the stockpiling
program which contemplates the
purchase and storage of $780,
100000 of scarce strategic materials
not available in suficient quality
in the United States.

Skorzeny goes on trial August 18
with eight of his fellow SIS men
charged with using American uni
forms in efforts to spread confu-
sion behind the Allied front lines.
He says he never did that-that
his only mission was to charge
through the retreating United
States troops in order to blast the
bridges across the Meuse and cut
OF escape. In the wild confusion
of the Ardennes bulge" all sorts
of rumors about Skorzeny's corps
cropped up, including the story that

Cancer is local disease at the
start, it was stated. Successful
treatment depends upon the pa
TENTS presenting himself when
the cancer can be completely re-
moved by radiation or surgery.
With improved surgical tech
nique, the development of more
powerful x-ray machines, and a
wider and more scientific use of
radium, the field of treatment has
been materially enlarged and
much can be done to help the
advanced cancer patient as we'll.
In many cases, the extension of
the disease may be arrested and
the patient relieved of DISTRESS
ing symptoms.
According to the most recent
figures from the u. S. Bureau Of
the Census, l7,152 women died
from uterine cancer and 16,379
from breast cancer in 1914. There
were 5,379 deaths from cancer
Of the mouth and throat, and
1887 deaths from skin cancer.
