Washington, Dec. 19-(AP)-
There have been three Frank
furters on the federal payroll,
Felix on the Supreme Court, Es-
telle, his sister, in the Treasury
and the Labor Department and
in the Office Of Strategic Ser
vices, where she was in charge
Of personnel, and, finally, Otto.
Otto is quite boy.
He did two prison terms years
ago in a career as confidence
man which would seem to have
been unsuccessful, but when the
great war for democracy came
on ~ landed in the Treasury
spending public money.
Since the victory he has re-
turned to the service of mankind
and he is now building that brave
new world of the future. To that
end he has joined the Paris force
of the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration as an economic spe-
cialist in the trade and payment
branch of the office OF the spe-
cial representative in Paris.
A handout by the E. c. A. in
Washington, dated Oct. 7, said
that Otto had been chairman
of the New York board of Trades
Marshall Plan committee" and
would not 'be in charge OF 4
program concerning chemicals
drugs, pharmaceutical hospital
supplies and allied products"
"He was" the handout con
tinued, procurement officer for
the Treasury Department, buy
ing lend lease drugs, pharmace-
uticals, chemicals and hospital
supplies until Oct. 1872" when
he resigned to 60 into private
enterprise.
He is "a, native a Austria
and a graduate of the college Of
pharmacy of Columbia Univer.
sity.
Other names which Otto used
in his early career, as listed in
report from the Pinkerton De-
tective Agency to the warden Of
the Iowa State reformatory, An.
amosa, Iowa, on July 20, 1909,
include: Theodore Wilbur, Ned
Frankforter, Ned Frankfort, E.
J. Walters, W. j. Dawxon and
B. B. Braun.

Arrested March Z, 1905, on

erton."
Otto Nedham Frankfort was
received at Anamosa, May 8, 1909
from Ida County, wher,, the re-
cord indicated, he had pleaded
guilty of cheating by false pre-
lenses and was sentenced to Sc
ven years. He was released Feb.
6. 1914. with thirty charges of mi
nor misconduct on his report
card, although he was punished
only once. His conduct reports

been just fresh-not difficult.
He corresponded with Felix

INTENTIONS Genral MacAr-
thurs similar dread Of Commu-
mist infiltration and flanking-in
the Kuriles, Korea and now
China-have led him to crack
down on labor and liberal
groups. Although his policy
may have been forced on him by
the Russian menace, like Clay's
in Germany, it has won us no
friends abroad and it holds no
promise for characterization Of
the Japanese.
Secretary Marshall sided with
the Arabs i the early struggle
of the fighting in Palestine, fig
uring that the Israeli forces
would be hopelessly defeated. 1t
was this erroneous advice, based
partly on their friendship for the
British Foreign Office, which
led Mr.. Truman to founder on
this issue so badly before and
during the presidential cam
paign.
In short, the presence and the
policies of the military in this
field have helped to transform
the world into an EARNED camp
Although there is no guarantee
of success, the White House
hopes that reorganization will
convincen eutrals Of our peace
full intentions,a a nd, perhaps soften
up Uncle Joe" Stain.

FEAR General Clay, perhaps
rightly, has permitted his mill
tary fear of Russia to influence
his policies. So has Macarthur
in the Far East and Forrestal in
the Middle East.
General Clay, for instance,
stopped the dismantling of Ger
man factories be cause he fig
ured they would be needed in
Transforming the Reich into a
buffer state against Moscow.
For the same reason, he insists
on reindustrialization of the
Ruhr. He has also deprecated
various United Nations efforts
to reach a peaceful solution with
Russia, particularly the Tryvge
Lie-Evatt and Bramuglia moves.
His attitude has awakened
fears of a German military re-
vival in France. His anti-dis-
mantling program of placating 10
Downing Street and the Quai d.
Orsay at a time when unity a.
mong the allies was essential.

Secretary Marshall's Illness Offers
President An Opportunity To Shift

Marshall. Both in the trans
mission and execution of State
Department directives, there is
likely to be a change or a modi-
fication of the original orders.
Clay and Macarthur frequently
explain their failure to follow
instructions precisely on the
ground that local conditions ne
cessitate an entirely different
handling of the problem.
Whatever the reason, there
has been almost no iaison o.
coordination among the White
House, the State Department,
the War Department and the
executives on the spot. The
result has been dissatisfaction T.
mong the governed, differences
with our allies all around til he
globe and aggravation of our diff
ficulties with Moscow.

|Bigamist Released
10 Pay for Babies

A 23-year-old music salesman
was on probation for bigamy today
so that he might help pay medical
expenses for the expected babies o1
both wives.
After william A. Foster, of Ar
lington, Va, pleaded guilty to the
charge yesterday, Justice David A
Pine said he would give the man a
chance, mot on your own account
but in order to require you to take
care of those two children and pay
the medical bills of those two
women.
You have injured the lives of
cwo women-maybe you have de-
stroyed their lives" the jurist said
And you will bring into being two
more lives who will enter life under
adverse circumstances"
Foster received a suspended SEN
tence of from one to five years in
Jail.

quired work probably will start

istration, display of trophies and
prizes and other purposes.
One of the main jobs will be to

Control Line flying. In this type of

speeds above the outer part Of the
circle, he turns with 1t.
To facilitate travel to Andrews
directional signs will be placed along
highways leading from the District
to the airfield, which Is one of the
largest in the world.
The thousands attending the Ma
tional Capital Show are going to
see an airbase so big and so en-
gineered that it Is possible for rs
to 100 fighter aircraft to be in mo-
ton taking off at one time.
Each Of the four runways is well
over a mile long and $50 feet wide
An unusual feature of the field Is
that no two runways intersect
Fourteen miles of taxiways, each al
least so feet wide, are capable OF
acting as straightways long enough
to launch any conventional type OF
fighter, and any bomber with the
exception of the very heavy types.
Hobby shops In the District and
Vicinity and the Plymouth dealers
in Washington and nearby areas
still are distributing application
blanks for the meet. Late registra-
ton also can be made at the field
