Americans VISITING
London for 0|ympies
Warned About Costs

LONDON. July IS (CDN.-If
you're coming to London for the
Olympic games bring along at least
SO day to cover food and lodging.
Unless you want to sleep in a
rooming house and eat In q greasy
spoon, you'll need that much.
Life In London is expensive these
days. Money disappears at an
amazing speed in all directions.
Twenty cigarettes cost 68 cents:
taxis come high and tipping rates
have seemingly increased in proper
ton to the deepening Of postwar
austerity.
A young Englishman who has been
working on preparations for the
games-which will attract athletes
and sports fans from 81 nations
has . word of warning specifically
for Americans.
It's his opinion that some Ameri-
cans will ask for the singing" some
Englishmen will be out to admin
lister.
i've seen the m-handed way
some Americans tip" says he. They
pay the wrong people for the wrong
service"
For Americans who want to get
along here, this well-disposed chap
offers the following rules of con-
duct:
1. Don't brag
.. Try not to upset your poor
English relation" by 4 hasiy display
Of money.
3. Watch how the locals live
and save your money.

Chairman Eaton OF the House

slider 1t very unfortunate. 80 The
President is using his constitutional
position to advance the interests OF
his own candidacy"
Chairman Wolcott Of the House
Banking Committee-"I can not see
where the special session could do
much of a constructive Job under
the circumstances. The call is
purely political and the session will
not be conducive to constructive

KEN Call Action Blunder.
Senator KEN, Republican, Of
Observation-Disclosures Truman has
again asserted his genius for blum
der. His choice of political con-
vention of his party as an occasion
to exercise the Presidents consti-
tutional prerogative to call q sep
cial session of Congress is particu-
larly inept."
Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin-"It is perfectly EVIL
dent that this call is part OF Tru-
mans campaign, and that he will
insist on the return Of price con-
trolls and rationing and all the other
controls which the overwhelming
majority of Congress, both Republic
cans and Democrats, refused to
enact into law"
Chairman Thomas Of the House
Committee on American Ac-
tivities, who is convalescing from q

Farmer Labor Party.
Mayor Humphrey and the Min
nesotans, before voting for the Tru-
man Barley ticket nomination at q
night session that was anti-climactic
for them, were kept busy opening
kilograms Of congratulation.
Result Is Big Surprise.
The Mayor and the delegation vice
chairman, Orville Freeman Of Min
neapolis. said they expected only
about $50 votes in the civil rights
fight few hours before it reached
the floor.
The Humphrey amendment got
6511. votes, SO more than needed
The result was a big surprise to
many at the convention. Mayor
Humphrey was regarded by some as
a knight In shining armor, and by
others-particularly Southerners-as
a destroyer of the party.
Mr.. Freeman described the voting
result this way:
1.-THE thing just snowballed. We
didn't think in the morning it would
60 over. California encouraged us
when the roll call reached them
The so votes from Illinois really got
us going. Then Michigan helped,
and then New York with 98-and

The Mayor said he and Mr.. Free

didn't spend much time sleeping
after they decided at an all-night
session to make a floor flght-how-
ever bleak the prospects were. The
meeting ended at o'clock in the
morning.

Role Of Greek Rebel Chief
In Tito Dispute Studied
By the Asseciotsd Press


American officials wondered to-
day whose side the Greek Com
munists are on in the feud between
the Russian-dominated Cominform
and Yugoslavia's Marshall Tito.
A new peace feeler sent out yes
terdav by the Greek guerrillas
stirred official doubt that Markos
Vafiades. rebel leader, is lining up
with Russia in the quarrel with
Tito.
The proposal by Vafiades' clan
destine radio station to END the
senseless bloodshed" in Greece was
turned down promptly by the Athens
government - which gave similar
treatment to an earlier overture
SIX weeks ago.
But American diplomatic authori.
ties noted with interest that the
station apparently still operates
from within Yugoslavia - even
though only recently it broadcast
the Cominform's denunciation OF
Tito.
What's more. 1t Is believed here
that Yugoslavia is keeping up a
flow of supplies to the rebels across
the Greek border.

Benes Is Unconscious,

By the Associated Press

PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia, Sept. /.
-CgechoSlovakia sadly mounted a
death watch today for one of her
hcroeS-former President Eduard
Benes.
The 65-year- old co-founder of the
Czechoslovak Republic lapsed into
Inconsistencies early Yesterday and
his doctors said they do not expect
nm to come out of it.
Rumors that the former President
had died during the night spread
through Prague today. and public
address system in large Prague
factory told employees that Dr..
Benes was dead. None of the ru-
mors could be confirmed.
The three doctors attending Mr.
Benes said in a noon bulletin: The
patient spent a quiet night, consid-
ering his condition, and there has
been no change
An official bulletin, signed by three
physicians attending him, said last
night the former Presidents condi-
ton was extremely serious"
DR.. BeneS, who resigned the pres
idency in June, has been in poor
health since he suffered a stroke a
year ago. The political turmoil last
winter. which threw Czechoslovakia
into the Communist camp, weak
ened him further.
He resigned il June, rather than
60 along with the new governments
program, and gave poor health as
the reason. He left no doubt. how
ever, that the chief factor was polit-
ical pressure. He was succeeded In
the presidency by Communist Pre-
mier Klement Gottwald.

Schacht Is Acquitted
OF Being Major Nazi
In Conviction Appeal
Opposition to Hitler More
Than Offset His Support,
German Court Declares
BY the Associated Press

STUTTGART, Germany, Sept.
IA German appeals court to-
day acquitted Hjalmar Schacht,
former German financial wizard
of charges that he was a major
Nazi offender. He was ordered
freed.
He had been serving an eight-yea1
term after conviction on the charge
by a Stuttgart denazif1cation court
last year.
Schacht also went scot free from
the courtroom at Nuremberg two
years ago, when Hermann Goering
Joachim Won Ribbentrop and other
close associates of Adolf Hitler were
condemned to die for war crimes.
Will Be Freed Immediately.
The court held that Schaeht's par
ticipation in the Nazi opposition
movement from 1886 onward more
than outweighed his earlier support
of Hitler.
None Of the civilians who par
ticipated in the resistance movement
did more than Schacht," the appeals
court ruled
Schacht will be released immedi-
ately from the internment camp
here. German spectators in the
courtroom cheered the verdict. Some
handed flowers to the 71-year- -old
former president of the Reichsbank
American officials were stunned
when told of the verdict.
Charles M. Friedman, American
denazif1cation officer for the mill
tary government in Wuerttemberg-
Baden, called it "incomprehensible. -
Charles M. La Toilette, military
governor Of the state, declared:
IT'S a German problem. but my
comments would be unprintable."
Intends to Avoid Politics.
SChacht said he wants to 20 to
the Italian Tyrol with his family
He said he intended to avoid poll
tics. Some German leaders report
edly have wanted to see him back
in politics so his financial knowl-
edge could be used in coping with
postwar economic problems.
The Appeals Court criticized
Schacht's early support of Hitler, but
noted that he became an opponent
Of the Nazi regime after the purge
of June, 1884, and later opposed re-
armament in several sharp memo
randa. His criticism of the conduct
of the war in 1943 resulted in his
dismissal as minister without port
folio, the court said, adding that
there was proof to show Schacht was
to have been killed in a Nazi con-
centration camp.

All Foreign Aircraft
Except Reds Banned
In Western China
Secret Order Disclosed
By Grounding Of U. S.
Minister'S Plane
BY the Associoted Press

NANKING, Sept. AL for
eign airplanes except Russian
have been barred by China from
the air over its western border
provinces.
The step was taken secretly and
became known here when American
Minister Lewis Clarks plane was
grounded and turned back at Lam
chow.
In 1899, China, then yearning for
Russian support, gave the SovietS
exclusive foreign rights to fly over
the Western provinces for 10 years.
Contradiction on Plans.
Hollington Tong, government
spokesman, said China had made no
decision yet on termination of the
agreement.
His statement was in contradiction
of another high official who refused
to be named This source said Mos
COW already had been notified that
China did not want to renew the
agreement on its expiration Septem-
ber 9 next year. He added that the
government was awaiting Russia's
reply"
The pact is still carried in the
Chinese Foreign Office secret files.
The order barring all foreign
planes except Russian from the bor-
der provinces was confirmed by the
Foreign Office. However, a spokes-
man denied having any knowledge
of the reasons for the action, appar-
emily taken by the Defense Minis
try under instructions from China's
highest authority, President Chang
Kai-Shek
Some observers here said the Or
der possibly resulted from Soviet
pressure under the air agreement
for Russian operation of a CONNER
cial airline from Almaata in the
U. S. S. R. to Hami on Sinkiangs
Eastern border. The Russians ar
gued this agreement gave them ex-
elusive rights to fly over Sinkiang.
Forced to Return to Nanking.
Mr.. Clark and his pilots, 1t. Col
A. T. House, jr., of Long Beach,
Calf, and Maj. Kearie Berry of
Austin, Tex, spent two days at
Lanchow attempting to unsnarl the
orders which halted their previously
cleared flight. They were finally
forced to return to Marking.
Embassy sources confirmed that
the Chinese government here re-
fused permission for subsequent
flights of the Embassy's plane to
Tihwa to inspect and supply Ameri-
can consular offices there. 1t was
indicated that any further action on
the matter would come from WASH
ington.
Persons in Tihwa during previous
visits by American aircraft there
said each flight was followed by bit
ter Russian protests that the flights
were for the purpose of spying and
