In Jewels Due Here
Today for Trial inU. 5.

Col. Jack w. Durant, a former
Government attorney here, and the
81, 100000 Hesse family jewels he
is charged with helping loot were
due to arrive here today by plane
after being grounded In, the Azores
yesterday because of bad weather.
The first of four planes bringing
the military court trying Durant
from Germany to the United States
arrived here this morning.
The case was transferred to this
country at the request of the prose-
cution to permit calling additional
witnesses. Hearings will be held
here and in Chicago.
On board the first Air Transport
Command plane to arrive were the
eight members of the trial board,
headed by Col. Russell c. Charlpon
Of Santa Fe, N. Mex.
Durant Leaves Frankfurt.
: The plane left Paris yesterday
about the same time that another
ship carrying Col. Durant and the
jewels took off from Frankfurt, Ger
many, scene of past proceedings in
the case.
A third plane, with military at
torneys aboard, has landed in Ire
land to get dispositions from wit
nesses there and the fourth plane
is scheduled to bring trial records.
Col. Charlpon told reporters the
trial would reopen "shortly"-as
soon as all participants. records, the
jewels and other evidence are as
sembled.
Col. Durant, his WAC bride, Capt.
Kathleen Nash Durant, and Maj.
David S. Watson of Burlingame,
Calf! were charged with the theft
of the jewels from Kronberg Castle.
Mrs. Durant was a hostess at an
American officers club set up there.
Both Mrs. Durant and Maj. Wat
son were convicted in previous trials
and were sentenced to five and
three years respectively.
Before joining the Army Air
Forces in 1941 Durant was employed
in the legal section of the Interior

Gems Were Hidden in Box.
The Hesse family moved the jewels
from bank to the old Kronberg
Castle at Frankfurt in 1914 and
secreted them in a box buried in the
cellar. The family was forced to
move out in April, 1945, on a few
hours notice.
When American troops first oc-
Icupied it the castle was placed in
charge of Mrs. Durant. The jewels
were missed later. After hostilities
ended the Durants returned to this
country. They were arrested in
Chicago last June and the jewels
recovered in Wisconsin.
The Durants and the jewels were
returned to Germany for trial, but,
before being taken there, the gilt
tering array of gems was displayed
here under heavy guard at the

Senate Starts Tax Cutting Act

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate raises the curtain tomorrow on the first act of its ax-cutting per formance with the cash customers waiting to see:
 Whether they will get a refund on part of the taxes paid this year, or
 Whether the new lower rates will De delayed until July 1.
 The third possibility that no cut will come this year-appears remote despite these two weekend developments:
 l. President Truman's declara- ton that higher prices already have inflated the entire economic structure' and that lower taxes now would only promote further imitation.
 The chief executive coupled this prediction with a forecast that the governments budget for the cur rent fiscal year ending june 30, will show a $1,250,0OO,000 surplus the first since 1880.
 2. A bill by Democratic Senator Lucas of Illinois to cut taxes next January 1 on a somewhat different basis than the 30-20 per cent slash retroactive to last January l all ready voted by the House.
 The Democratic whip said his substitute besides delaying the cut until next year would:
 A. Hike exemptions for depend ents from $500 to $500 and thus re- move 3,2O0,000 persons from fed eral tax rolls.
 B. Cut each surtax next income bracket by two percentage points.
 C. Permit husbands and wives in all states to split their income for tax purposes. The government

British BlOw-up Helgoland Base

CUXThAVEN, Germany, (P - British demolitions blew up the is land base of Helgoland, German Gibraltar of the North Sea.
 Watchers in this seaport 38 miles across the water from the former German naval base saw a covering grey column of smoke rise over Helgoland. Two minutes later three dull humping explo- sions were heard, sounding like blasts in a quarry.
 The British had announced months ago their intention to de- stroy the naval stronghold.
 Burgomaster Karl Divers said he destruction had caused sorrow and mitigation among the Germans of this city. He asserted that the Germans were saying the island ruins would always remind the people of the destruction and would contribute to everlasting hatred.
 A BEG reporterssaid the explo- sion was about half the size of the atom bomb and set up a small wave on the sea.
