I wish to assure you that I
feel greatly honored by the
presentation Of this resolu-
ton to me tonight. It does
mean a great deal to me and
will be an inspiration to me
in doing a still better job in
st. Croix.
I also feel grateful to the
sponsor or sponsors of this
resolution and promise to
make every effort to deserve
this honor in the future, as
well as after my record of the
first year of operation.
| am also very proud and
glad to help in the develop
ment Of tourism in ST. Croix,
Of which ! have received such
a favorable impression on
that stormy December night
in 1943, when my companions
and myself reached Christian
sted in wartime darkness,
well tired and hungry. After
the long and stormy trip on
our small boat the hospitality
Of Mrs. Heyn, the good dinner
and wonderful help Of some
good friends created a fine i'm

Report Of Extensive
Properties Left by
|Paderewski Probed
BY the Associoisd Press

PARIS, Jan. 22.-Armed with
powers of attorney, & young French
newspaperman is preparing to in
vestigate vast properties reported
to have been left in North and
South America by Ignace Paderew-
ski, world famed pianist and first
President of the Polish republic
Paderewski died in New York
June 20, 1941, after a flight from
Switzerland through Vichy France.
Spain and Portugal. On october 6
of the same year a sister, Nine.
Wilkonska, died In New York,
leaving, it was supposed, no heirs.
Now, after months of research
and inquiry, Armand Avronsart,
correspondent for several French
language papers In the United
States, has discovered in Poland
an elderly professor who claims to
be the half brother Of the noted
Polish patriot. He also has learned
of the survival of half-sister. now
living in territory under Soviet adj
ministration.
Kin Believed Killed.
| The professor, JoZef PaderewSki,
who is living in Bydgoszcz, has con-
fided the care of his interests In the
Paderewski estate to Mr.. Avronsart.
Before Mr.. Avronsart's arrival in
Poland, the professor was completely
ignorant-so Mr.. Avronsart reports
of the existence of any estate to
which he might lay claim.
Both the professor and the half
sister, Maria Paderewska, were
thought to have been executed by
the Germans during the occupation.
Paderewski,s secretary has been ad-
ministering the estate since the
death of Nine Wilkonska, according
to Mr.. Avronsart.
The French journalist says that
under Polish law the Presidents
estate on his death should have been
divided equally among his sister, the
half brother and the half-sister.
Lack of adequate communications
and the troubled conditions in
Poland at the time prevented
authorities from ascertaining the
facts on the Presidents family.
Ownership Unsettled.
Outside Poland, Mr.. Avronsart
says, Paderewski held large bank
accounts in Switzerland, England,
| the United States and Brazil. He
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-01-22

owned property In Switzerland, q
large sector Of Sac Paulo In Brazil,
and property in New York and Cali
fornia.
Ownership of this widespread and
valuable property never has been
definitely settled, says Mr.. Avronsart.
He now intends to see that the
proper portion is allotted to the
elderly professor provided, of course,
that he really is the half-brother of
Poland's first President.

UNRRA Director Asks
Military Aid for China;
.ChennduIt Arrives
By the Associoted Press

Military aid for China was urged
today by the director general OF
the United Nations Relief and Re-
Mobilization Administration.
Lowell w. Rocks, UNRRA chief,
told the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee that economic aid is useless"
unless the Chinese central govern
ment can win its war with the
Communists.
He said the United States should
send American military men to
China to equip, train, organize and
direct Chinese forces even down
to tactics and strategy"
UNRRA was set up to administer
relief in occupied countries after the
war. 1t is now winding up its
affairs, but has some small funds
left which are being spent chiefly
in China.
$57O,000,OO0 Aid Proposed.
The administration has proposed
$570, 100000 aid to China for food,
road repairs, and other civilian
projects. but no military help, or
money to buy guns and weapons.
The House committee is consider
ing the administration request.
Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault, for
mer chief of the Flying Tigers, ar
rived by commercial plane today
from Shanghai, to give his views on
what should be done there. He
probably will appear before the
committee Wednesday.
Mr.. Rocks told the committee that
military and economic aid in China
"are equally important. One would
be worthless without the other"
Representative Richards Demo-
crat, of South Carolina asked what
aid, if any, Chinese Communists are
getting from outside of China. He
did not mention Russia directly.
Mr.. Rocks said he could not say.
But that the has heard on good au-
thority, that great amount of
military supplies the Russians cap
tured from the Japanese have
turned up in Communist hands.
Urges Economic Aid.
Maj. Gen. G. E. Edgerton, former
chief of the UNRRA China Office,
advocated economic aid for China.
Representative Mansfield, Demo-
crat, of Montana asked him, do
you think it is possible to give mill
tary aid without ultimately sending
over American divisions?"
Gen. Edgerton said he would
not like to answer that question in
open session.
