PASTOR OUT ON
BOND IN SCHOOL
FRAUD CASE

CHICAGO, Sept. IA. (ANP)-
Arrested with his partner, Julius
R. Pryor, on charges of cheating
the eVterans Administration out
Of $1,000, n of the city's most
prominent ministers, the Rev. A.
Alfred Watts, pastor, Bethesda
Baptist church, was freed last
week on bond of $1,000.
Although t he VA had Rev.
Watts and Pryor indicted on five
charges, a spokesman for the gov
eminent agency said that the
church leader probably signed
false vouchers without really
knowing what was happening at
the school.
Rev. Watts and Pryor operate
the Illinois School of Tailoring,
4515 South State street, which
provides training to ex-GIs under
the CT bill of rights.
According to the federal grand
jury Indictment two weeks ago,
the school defrauded the govern
ment of the $16,696. on five
counts:
April Is, 1913, a false vouch-
err to the VA claiming 1888 for
educational training, books and
other expenses;
April 10, voucher for $3,228.75
for tuition and supplies;
May IS, claim for $2,571;
June Is, claim for $4,405.80
and June 20, voucher for 1908. GA.
These claims were presented to
the VA for supplies that students
never got and equipment the
school never received, U. S. Dis
trict Atty. Otto Kerner said.
The ~tailroing school was one of
a number of Chicago trade schools
and other institutions set up to
train veterans under the CT bill
of rights indicted by a federal
grand jury here two weeks ago.

A
Woman's
World.
Working Together

If man alone belongs the hon
ors of finding new lands and dis
covering new continents, not to
him alone belongs the honor of
subduing what he has found, for
ever in the task of making new
homes in new places, woman has
been the brave and efficient CO.
partner of man. Not in Indian
fashion, one behind the other in
single file, but hand in hand and
keeping pace together step by
step, wemen and men have TAX
en- possession of the uttermost
parts o fthe earth.
Wherever man has gone to find
a habitation, woman has borne
him company. Together they have
suffered and struggled on; to-
gether they have toiled and
wrought. If, then, she is the weak
er vessel, bravely has she done
her part, for never has the ardu-
BUSINESS of her lot excused her
from the mothers peril; and if
he has risked his life in unknown
dangers, she has doubly risked
her life to be with him. If then,
together they have borne the
cross, surely in all justice togeth-
err they should wear the crown,
if there be one, and reap the com
mon benefits.

Dems. Want Ike FOr,Candidate
(By Jack Bell)

WASHIN GTON, (P) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was being pushed into a new political corner Saturday by anti-Truman Demo- crats who want him as their par tvs Presidential candidate.
 The general, who froze a COP draft-Ike drive last January, is re- ported to have told friends in the last few days he is no more avail able for the Democratic nomina- tion than he was for the Republi- can post.
 But this may not be enough to head off new movement that had all the signs of an organized drive
 If it isn't, Eisenhower's friends predict the retired army chief of staff will make another stateme |.
 The general didn't leave n.-ch room for doubt about his position in January. He said the decision to remove myself completely from the political scene is definite and positive"
 When he said he "could not ac- cept" a nomination, he did not spe- 'cify party, it was pointed out.
 There are some indications that Eisenhower's view about the Dem ocratic nomination may have been passed along the President Tru- man.
 It was directly against the Pres ident that the latest converts to the draft-Ike movement aimed their arrows. These came from two sons of the late President Roosevelt,

International News On Atomic Bomb

UNDATED, GnternationaD (P Great Britain, France, Canada and China demanded in the Unit ed Nations today an end of talk on Russia's scheme to prohibit atom bombs.
 They denounced Russia's pro- posals as inadequate and unreal istic, capable of helping an aggres- sor nation gain overwhelming military supremacy and lulling peoples into a sense of false sec urity.
 The United States, through Der nard M. Baruch, proposed atom bomb control nearly two years ago. The Baruch proposal would dispose of existing atom bombs and set up an effective world control system, divorced from the U. N. veto. The Russians count cred with scheme for outlawing the bomb immediately, with con- trols to be worked out later. The fruitless talk has gone on since.
 Baruch today urged congress to enact promptly universal military training and selective service leg islation to achieve stability and lasting peace. He called also for an economic mobilization plan"
 'The time for decision has come there is no reason for panic or even fright" the elder statesman told the Senate armed services committee. "The resources, ec- onomic, military and spiritual, which the free peoples of the world hold are vastly superior to those which the totalitarians can com mand."

Czechs To Ignore U. s. Demands

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - The CzechoSlovak Communist govern ment will ignore a United States demand for an explanation of it's rise to complete power a spokes- man said today.
 He said the new regime takes the position that the coup last month was an internal affair and the United Nations has no busi- ness Investigating. The spokesman for Delegate Vladimir Houdek added that the American demand that Prague and Moscow lay their cards on the security council table does not alter the situation. Hou- dek has refused to take part in the debate.
 Neither were there any indica- tions here that Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko would be prodded into doing any explain ing. Instead Gromyko is expected to keep countercharging that the U. s. is interfering in Italy and Greece

B-36s May Now Be Based In Alaska

DENVER, (P) - An Alaskan base is now equipped to accomo- date the army air forces giant B-36 bomber, the Denver Post said in story published last night.
 The hitherto highly-secret base known as Mile 26" has been named. Eielson Field, and is, ac- cording to the Post, so located as to serve for launching air attacks on any spot in the Northern Hemi- sphere.
 Only three fields in the contin- ental United States, aside from Eielson, have been previously an nounced as capable of handling flights of B-36's on a regular bas- is. These are located at Fort Worth, Texas, Elgin Field, Fla, and Wright Field, Ohio.
 The story said announcement of Eielson Fields existence was approved only today by proper official sources. Prior to this time, its existence had been screened behind a cloak of official silence, and even now it's exact location--other than that it isa- bout 26 miles southeast of Fair banks is guarded information.
 Significant of the announcement was the statement earlier this week by air secretary Stuart Sym ington in Washington that our B-29's based in Alaska and Lab rador, could make bomb runs over any portion of the Soviet Union.
 The air forces have announced that the B-36 could carry an at omic bomb to any inhabited re- zion in the world and return home without refueling.
 The plane is designed for a nor nal range of 10000 miles with 10000 pounds, without extra fuel tanks. The airforces have 100 of the giant six-engined bombers on order.
