to those who work on 1t. With that
idea is connected the principle
and it will be embodied in the
new constitution-that the highest
limit of land ownership Of so Hec-
taares Q23.552 acres.
I don't thing that these principles,
if carried out, will result in lowering
Of agricultural production. On the
contrary, the new and just arrange

with unification of land and me-

to an increase of production.
Electrification Planned.
In the five year plan, which Is to
begin in 1949. we plan to organize a
broad network of truck stations
and machine societies, electrify the
whole country and better assure the

We expect these measures will not
only help supply land workers but
also will increase agricultural pro-

Appeals Court Backs
Romney Conviction in
House Bank SHORTAGE

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals today upheld the District
Court conviction of Kenneth Rom,-
ney 81, former House sergeant at
arms, on charges OF fa1sifying Gov
ernment accounts and concealing
shortages of funds in the House
bank" in 1916.
Romney, who was sentenced to
serve from one to three years IN
prison by Justice Alexander HoltzotI
last May IT, was convicted of con-
cealing shortages then estimated at
$143,863 Later estimates have put
the figure at 1921 ,981.
He has been free under $2,500
bond pending the appeal.
Opinion Reviews Case.
The unanimous opinion by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner and
Associate Justices Wilbur K. Miller
and e. Barrett Prettyman recounted
the events leading to Romney's
conviction as follows: 49,.
In 1925 when Romney was cashier
In the Office of the sergeant at arms,
he became associated with Repre-
sentative Smithwick OF Florida in
real estate operations in Florida
during which both lost heavily.
During the next six years Smith
wick, with Romney's cooperation,
"kited" checks through the office in
an aggregate of more than $1,000,-
600. When his term ended. at the
end of 1916, Romney held the
former Representatives worthless
checks amounting to $87,538.
Holds Office Liable to GAO.
Citing defense contentious to the
contrary, the court held the sergeant
at arms does have the duty of filing
statements with the General Ac-
counting ONCE and that the cash
in his hands remains the property
of the Government until it actually
is dispersed to those entitled to 1t.
The defense had asserted the
congressional bank was a private
bank" and had no legal standing
and that the funds missing over a
period of 20 years were taken from
individuals and not from the Gov
ernment.
The court also denied a defense
argument that the court erred in
overruling a motion to dismiss the
indictment on the ground the grand
jury that returned it was illegally
constituted.

Clay Again Changes
Currency in Step 10
Curb Black Market
BY fhe Assoeiufsd Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Mar. %.
AS new bar to blackmarketing,
United States military scrip in Ger
many was changed today. It was
the second revision in this cur
rency, the only legal tender for
Americans here.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the Ameri-
can military governor, said:
I'VE realized that with the pres
ent unsettled economic conditions
in most parts OF the world, there
is desire on the part of many
individuals not entitled to the use
of military payment certificates
Scrip to obtain them illegally and
hoard them under the mistaken i'm
preston the United States will
eventually redeem them in dollars" !"
The scrip was first introduced
for use by Americans in Germany
early in 1916. Its use was decided
on after a considerable number of
American soldiers repeatedly made
fortunes by converting German
marks into dollars.
After thousands Of Germans laid
their hands on the new scrip, II
was first changed on March 10,
l947.
IF our currency we're allowed to
affect the economy of any European
country 1t would be defeating the
ultimate object of the American
people-that is, the establishment
of a stable financial structure
throughout the world based on the
financial integrity of each country"
Gen. Clay said. N''> T.
From the frontier between the
Soviet and American zones Of Ger
many, meanwhile, came ~ reports
that Soviet guards had been posted
at intervals of 100 yards along the
border.
These reports followed receipt of
information that the Russians and
German Communists were conduct
ing a big new wave of arrests
Of non Communists in the Soviet
zone. The strengthened guard, the
reports indicated, was to bar flight.

Michael Sees Truman,
Says He Explained
Situation in Romania

King Michael, deposed monarch
of Romania, and President Truman
understood each other very wells
when they discussed the situation
In Romania at a conference at the
White House today, according to a
statement the King made afterward. .
Secretary of State Marshall also
attended the conference, together
with his chief of protocol, Stanley
Woodward.
When he emerged from the Pres
ident's study, King Michael said
there had been no mention of set
ting up a government in exile, but
he expressed hope that some day
he would be able to return to
Romania.
Four-Day Visit Planned.
The king, who is in Washington
for four-day visit with his mother,
Queen Mother Helen, will have no
time for sightseeing, he said.
When asked what the specific sub
ject of his conversation with the
President was, King Michael said
that he "just explained to the
President how everything stands. :"
He and the President, he said, see
eve to eye on the situation.
The King arrived here last night.
With his mother, Queen Helen,
and six aides he went from Union
Station to the Shoreham Hotel,
where a fve-room suite was re-
served for his party.
After the Kings formal call on the
President, his mother was to have
tea at the White House with Mrs.
Truman this afternoon.
Assigned Two Detectives.
The Police Department assigned
two detectives to guard the King,
q great-great-grandson of the late
Queen Victoria of England.
The royal pair was greeted at
Union Station last night by several
hundred Romanians, Romanian
Americans and well wishers. They
were welcomed officially, by Ray
mond D. Muir, the State Depart
ment's assistant chief of protocol.
Among the first to greet them was
Alexander Cretzianu, King Michaels
one-time representative to Turkey
and son Of former Romanian min
lister to Washington.
Michael declined, on his arrival
last night, to comment on either the
political picture in Romania or on
his own plans for the future. His
engagement to the Danish Princess
Anne of Bourbon-Parma recently
struck a snag when the Pope re-
fused Anne's request for a dispen-
sation to marry the Greek Orthodox
former King. The Vatican's posi-
ton is that any children born out
of the union must be reared in the
Roman Catholic Church.
Eat in Hotel Dining Room.
L. Gardner Moore, manager of the
shoreham, said today the hotel had
assigned one of its own staff Of de-
tectives to the royal party's floor
Gust to keep out nuisances."
While the royal suite includes
private dining room and. kitchen,
he said, the party. at late supper
last night and an early breakfast
this morning, chose to use the hotels
regular room service.
The King and his mother will be
guests tonight OF the British Am
bassador and Lady Inverchapel at
the British Embassy. Tomorrow the
King will entertain Secretary of
Commerce Hartman at luncheon
In his Shoreham apartment. The
National Press Club will be host at
dinner Wednesday at 1890 pm. in
his honor. -
