Briton Acquitted by Jews
OF Espionage Charges

JERUSALEM, Sept. 80 (P).-One
Briton was acquitted of spy charges
and a final judgment on another
was put off until October by an

|Leader Of Stern Gang
Reported Arrested
|Bv Police Of Israel
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

TEL AVN, Israel, Sept. So
Reliable informants said today
Israeli police have arrested Ma
than Friedman-Yellin, head of
the Stern Gang, Jewish under
ground extremist organization.
The Fatherland Front, terrorist
arm of the Stern Gang, has boasted
that it was responsible for the as
sassination Of Count Folke Berna-
dotte, the u. Ms Palestine mediator,
in Jerusalem September II.
The informants said Friedman
Yellin was arrested in Haifa last
night, together with one OF his
right-hand men. In the room where
they found Friedman-Yellin, and in
search of his apartment in Tel
Aviv, police were said to have found
documents throwing new light" on
Sternist activities.
Reported in Underground.
Friedman-Yellin was reported to
have gone underground after the
assassination of Count Bernadotte
touched of an Israeli government
compaign to root out terrorists. 1t
was as an underground group that
the Sternists struck at the British
during the years Britain governed
Palestine under League Of Ma
tions mandate.
The Israeli government moved to
smash the Stern gauge Immediately
after Count Bernadotte was killed.
Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok
said his government adopted spe-
cial emergency regulations giving 1t
sweeping powers to take action
against terrorist organizations, their
members and accomplices."
israeli officials in Jerusalem
said September 20 that 200 known
Sternists had been seized and
packed off to Jaffa to be dis
persed in the Israeli Army. This
group was said to have included
the Sternists' second in COM
mand, known as 'Abu Mimri.")
Mr.. Shertok blamed the Berna-
dotte assassination on group call
ing itself Hazi Hamoledeth-the
Fatherland Front" He said it was
an offshoot of the Stern-founded po-
litical party-Fighters for the Free
dom of Israel.
Informants in Haifa later said
members OF the outlawed Stern Gang
had made threats against Count
Bernadotte's successor, DR.. Ralph
J. Bunche.

Taca Plea 10 Continue
Flights 10 U. 5. Raises
Diplomatic Question
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

Something Of q diplomatic hot
potato has been dropped into the
lap Of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
Involved is the question of what
it Is going to do with the insistent
request of El Salvador that the
board permit Taca, S. A., an airline
company, to continue flights from
the Central American country to the
United States.
The board yesterday heard final
arguments and took under advise
ment the recommendations of an
examiner that Tacas application
be denied.
At present Taca operates from
San Salvador to Miami and New
Orleans. 1t wishes to renew its
permit and extend operations to IN
clude British Honduras and Guate-
mala.
Waterman Controls Firm.
> Although incorporated in El SAL
vador, Taca Is 80 per cent owned by
North American nationals and prac-
tical control is held by the Water
man Steamship Lines. Waterman
acquired its interest after the board
rejected its request to operate an
airline to Central America.
Opposing Taca's application Is
Pan American Always, which op-
crates to Central and South Amer.
lea.
In his arguments yesterday Fran
els H. Inge, general counsel for
Taca, referred to the Salvadoran
governments request for reciprocal
rights in view of the fact 1t permits
Pan American to operate into E.
! Salvador.
Reciprocity Demanded.
| Mr.. Inge contended the United
States is obligated to grant full reci-
procity rights to Taca.
He said the Salvadoran request
was given to American Ambassador
Albert F. Nufer after the adverse
report submitted by the examiner
who conducted hearings.
Henry Friendly, Pan American
attorney, said that even If Taca
were a bona fide' Salvadoran COM
pany, this country would not legally
be required to grant reciprocity
rights.
| Board members interjected that
Mr.. Friendlys contention on this
point might result in a dangerous"
position for this country and be
offensive to foreign government"

World Crisis Moral ,
Not Political, Criipps
TELLS Federal Bar

Sir Stafford Cripps. British chan
cellor of the exchequer, warned to-
day that free democracy will fail
in an increasingly complex civiliza-
ton If peoples seek only expedients
offering 'momentary hope of escape
from our difficulties"
The world crisis is moral, rather
than political or economic, he told
the Federal Bar Association at
luncheon in the Justice Depart
ment.
TT cannot be solved merely by
formula, however recondite or in
genious, because ultimately 1t is the
willingness of the peoples through
their governments to follow out the
concepts of their spiritual common
sense that will determine success or
failure of our efforts" he said. ''We
must still do our best to devise
plans and schemes which will make
solution possible, but once we
have decided what we ought to do
we must put behind it all our spir-
itual and moral power"
Standards Slipping.
Declaring that material forces
are getting outside our control" Sir
Stafford noted that this is hap
pening while "our standards in
human relations, as nations and
individuals, are slipping lower and
lower. whether as members Of the
family. as nationals in our own
country, or as world citizens"
Democratic peoples, he said, have
particular obligation today to
adapt their governmental forms to
changed conditions and environ
ments. -r
The dynamic power" of democ-
racy, he explained. is not solely
or mainly in numbers, material
strength, education or intelligence.
1t is in the spirit of men and the
free spirit OF the people," he said.
And that is why profoundly
believe" he went on, that democ-
racy without its spiritual or, if you
prefer the term, its religious content
can never ultimately become the
effective force in world government.
Unless we recognize this fact and
act upon it, we shall slide down into
darkness.
Introduced BY Snyder.
Summing up his plea for putting
moral strength ahead of material
ingenuity, Sir Stafford concluded:
Even those of us who profess q
specific religion find it hard enough
to live that religion in our ordinary
lives as democrats and citizens. We
tend to keep it on one side as an
other worldly experience which has
no direct relevance to our day-to-
day thoughts and actions. 1t is the
addition of these individual actions
and thought which make up our
corporate democratic action and
thought"
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
introduced Sir Stafford, who is here
for sessions OF the International
Monetary Fund and World Bank.
Other guests included Chief JUS
tice Vinson, Associate Justice Reed,
Attorney General Clark, Secretary
of Labor Tobin and Sir Oliver
Franks, British Ambassador to the
United States. Charles Oliphant,
chief counsel for the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, welcomed the guests
as president of the association.

The semifinal setup in the Indian
Spring Invitation today was Jim
Gardner of Washington Golf and
Country Club VS.. Ralph Bogart of
Chevy Chase, and Buddy Sharkey
of the host club VS.. Ted Burrows OF
Manor, but before the four berths
were decided yesterday there were
some awful cases of back-nine jit-
ters. Some of the players who
tossed away fat leads came out on
top-but some didn't.
In the quarter-f final round Med
alist Eddie Ault was three up on
Gardner after II holes but finally
lost on the 18th to Gardeners par
four.
In another quarter-final match,
Burrows was four up and seven to
play against Kenwood's Don Miller
but was forced to drop a six-foot
putt on the 18th to send the match
into extra holes, and then Burrows
won on the 10th.
Bogart Ekes Out Victory.
Bogart was 3 up on G. w. Golf
Capt. Billy Griffin after II holes but
Griffin squared tt le match on the
18th. After outplaying Bogart from
tee to green, Griffin finally lost the
match, / up.
In the first round Kenwood's Bill
Briggs was up and l to play in
his match with Gardner, but the
latter dropped a 10-footer for a win
on the 18th and took the 18th with
a par 4.
In contrast to the players who
tossed big leads, sharkey played two
veterans of District competition,
Bill Wenzel and M. Parker Nolan of
Congressional, and in SO holes never
was more than l up or l down all
day. Nolan made bid to send his
quarter final match with Sharkey
into extra holes but his bold effort
on the 18th hole adrifted past the
cup.
Semifinal appearances are not too
new to any of the contestants. The
41-year-old Burrows won the Manor
Invitation some IS years ago and
was runnerup in the Chevy Chase
Invitation to James Hermann in
1881.
Sharkey had a good year in 1916,
with q final round appearance In
the Maryland Amateur his best per-
formance. Gardner played tourna-
ment golf with considerable success
in Iowa, and, of course, Bogart has
been one of the ranking amateurs
