French Govt. Will Fall If Gold Fails
(By Louis Nevin)

PARIS, (P) - Premier Robert Schuman's government will fall if the national assembly votes down his gold program, cabinet spokesman said today.
 Defeat threatened the gold pro- posal, an integral part of the gov ernment's monetary program de- valuing the franc and setting up a free money market.
 Schuman pleaded for support from the Socialist party to save the program. The Socialists, al- though represented in the cabinet, decided unanimously in a caucus yesterday to oppose the Schuman bill to permit free trade in gold in France.
 Secretary of state Pierre Abelin told newSmen after cabinet meeting-the second in 12 hours the government could not con- tinue if the gold clause met de- feat.
 Schuman, foreign mi n e r Georges Bidault and finance min ister Rene Mayer went before a meeting of socialist deputies after the cabinet session in an attempt to swing the Socialists behind the

Nation May Spend sl6,5OO,O ,OOO,OOO For Defense

WASHINGTON, tP) - The na- ton may be asked to spend as much as 100000 for de- fense next year if friction with Russia continues, Senators dis closed today.
 This would be 50 per cent more than President Truman has asked in his peacetime record budget for the 12 months beginning July l. The estimate of future military needs came from members of the Senate armed services committee after a closed door conference with the high command yester- day.
 They said Gen. Eisenhower, re- tiring army chief of staff, and other top ranking generals and admirals advised that the army, navy and air force must be brought up to date quickly. Gen. Eisenhower and others in the high command were said to have told the Senators yesterday the way they think the next war will be fought.
 It may begin, they were quoted as saying, with an aerial attack on the United States using the atom bomb.
 This was one of the reasons given for having a large reserve of trained men to take over ruin ed cities and man essential indus tries.
 The United States was describ- ed as needing 100000 trained man to occupy and guard the out lying air bases from which it would launch it's aerial counter attack upon the enemy.

Russia Ready To
 Negotiate Austrian Treaty; Her Terms
tBy c. K. Hodenfield)

VIENNA, (FD - Russia was re- ported here yesterday to be ready to deal on a peace treaty for Aus tria.
 An ustrian government spokesman said hope for settle ment of his occupied country's fu- ture, long blocked by an east-west deadlock, now appeared bright er."
 The Austrian press agency said five conditions had been laid down by the Russians for discus sion at the big four deputy for eign ministers conference in Lon don next week:
 1. That Russian demands re- garding the big Zisterdorf oil fields, northeast of here, remain unchanged. Russia wants two thirds of the fields production and an equal share of the equip ment.
 That the oil field concessions remain effective for 50 years.
 3. That Russia be paid $20O,- 100000 within two years for all other German assets in Austria now controlled by Russia. (One of the toughest questions in Austrian negotiations to date has been an exact definition of what conSti- tutes German assets in Austria.
 4. That Russia be given from 20 to 40 per cent of the Danube Ship ping company.
 5. That all profits obtained un- der these conditions may be taken from Austria free of restrictions.
 An American spokesman, in- formed of the Austrian agency re- port, commented that these terms do not mention political problems, displaced persons, demilitariza- ton, identification or border changes, all of which caused dead locks previously in Austrian nego- tiations.

Cold Weather Closes Auto Plants

DETROIT, (P - Some 100000 Detroit workers were idle today as the Michigan Consolidated Gas company-faced with a new cold wave and a natural gas shortage cut off fuel deliveries to indus trial plants for at least a week.
 Hit by the blow that crippled the auto industry's production here were the "big three" of the car manufacturing world-Gener- al Motors Corp, ChrySler Corp, and the Ford Motor Co.
 Briggs Manufacturing Co.,, and scores of smaller industries also were affected. The order suspend ed gas deliveries from pm. yes terday until next Tuesday.
 The gas company's move, forced by what president Henry Fink called "the most critical situation the company ever has faced" came just day after 100000 auto workers returned to their jobs fol- lowing a weekend suspension of fuel supplies to industrial users.
 It was blamed on the longest siege of cold weather to grip this section of the country in 12 years. Low temperatures also were re- sponsible for idling 15,000 work CTS in the Pittsburg district-most of them victims of industrial gas supplies curtailments.
 Ford apparently will suffer less by the sweeping order than other big auto producers, since it main tains its own standby gas equip ment at the River Rouge plant.

Seek To Connect Hayton With
 Watson Murder

SEATTLE, (P) - From the drowsy stupor of a truth serum" Roscoe Lee Hayton freely admit ted his already confessed staying of wives No. 2 and 3, but categor- ically denied any other killings, King county prosecutor Lloyd Shorette said yesterday.
 The prosecutor said the denial covered "all other crimes" on which the 62-year-old retired merchant was questioned.
 He did not reveal whether Hay ton had been quizzed on the kid nap-murder II years ago of TO- year-old Charles Mattson from his Tacoma home, or regarding a Bremerton, Wash.,. man who drop ped out of sight last December and was known to have been cor responding with Hayton's es- tranged third wife.
 County detective chief Adam Lyskowski, said that Hayton bears a resemblance to character sketch drawn of the Mattson boys kidnaper's face. Both Shorett and the detective chief had said ear Her that they would question Hay ton regarding the Mattson case, and Shorett said FBI agents had requested permission to quiz the matrimonial club Romeo on the case.

India-Pakistan Fail To Agree
tBY Larry Hauck)

LAKE SUCCESS, (P)-The In dia-Pakistan dispute over Rash mir was tossed back to the secur- ity council today with the two do- minions in disagreement.
 Direct talk between the two governments ended last night without accord. The council was called today to receive a report of the fruitless negotiations.
 India made formal proposals which were rejected by the other. Also turned down was a compro- mise by council president Yer hand Van Langenhove of Belgium who directed the parleys.
 Van Langenhove expressed hope, however, that the council would be able to come up with a solution. He also said he was will ing to go on supervising direct conversations.
 Spokesmen for the two domin- ions were pessimistic over any good coming from future talks. They expressed the view that In dia and Pakistan would have set tied their differences at home if a bilateral agreement had been possible. They held the position that it was up to the United Ma tions.
 Direct parleys broke down last week but the council ordered the meetings resumed after Britain's Philip J. Noel-Baker said "the al- formative to war Gin IndiO is set clement here"

 "I have the impression that nei- ther M. Schuman nor I was able to convince them" he said.
 Finance minister Mayer con tinued the government attempts to change the Socialists minds.
 The assembly voted last night, 373 to 184, to place the gold pro- posal first on its agenda. While the vote in this respect supported Schuman, it had little political significance.
 Only the Communist bloc op- posed the request. There is no other important legislation pend- ing.

Nelson Urges Change
In Sex Law 10 Protect
Mentally Retarded
By John w. Stepp

Judge George D. Nelson of Mu-
nicipal Court wants the District s
six-month-old sex law amended to
embrace offenses committed against
mentally retarded persons.
He expressed this view today in
commenting on a recent case in
which he convicted a 34-year-old
college graduate of simple assault"
on 30-year-old woman having the
mental age of a. Testimony in the
trial showed the man made indecent
approaches toward the victim in a
movie theater.
This was a reprehensible crime, p"
Judge Nelson declared II feel that
the sex law should be broadened to
include an abnormal sex act of this
kind"
This case clearly shows the ex-
iStence OF a loop-hole in the law,
which was unforeseen when the law
was drafted"
Backed BY DIR. Lewald.
Judge Nelson had the support of
DR.. James Lewald, superintendent
of the District Training School for
the Feeble minded.
DR.. Lewald pointed out that, in
the District today, there are up
wards of 1000 feebleminded per-
sons who should be, but cannot be,
committed to the institution. Linn
tied space at the training school
allows only $50 inmates at a time.
Those who are at large deserve
all the protection that society can
give them," the superintendent
said. Il agree with Judge Nelson
that persons guilty of taking ad-
vantage of the feebleminded in
this way should get the same stiff
penalties that offenders against
normal children receive"
The sex law, as it now stands,
provides for terms up to 10 years
in penitentiary for those con-
victed of taking indecent liberties
with a child. ats
Since the woman in the case be-
fore Judge Nelson had reached her
majority physically, the " United
States attorneys office could charge
her assailant only with simple
assault - which carries a maximum
penalty of $1,000 fine and one
year in Jail.
Fay to Consider Change.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay commented that he
would certainly give consideration
to any recommendation for a broad
ened law"
Apprised of the facts of the case
in which Judge Nelson convicted
James S. Perrow, a Wake Forest
graduate, who lives in the 600 block
of B street NE, DR.. Wewald assert
eo that an offense of this kind lin
dicates a 'depravity or immortality
to degree where the perpetrator
is menace to society,""
1T is characteristic of people with
adult bodies, but children's minds.
that they fall easy prey to some one
trying to take advantage of them" !"
the physician said.
A sociologist with the Board of
Public Welfare conceded there is no
sure way to keep a finger on all the
feeble-minded persons now at large
in the District.
And any one of them is a poten-
tial victim of perpretrator of sex
crime" he declared

Fire Department Opposes
LIGHTER Fuel Machines

The Fire Department is. opposed
to the use of self-service cigarette
lighter fuel tanks, some of which
have appeared in Washington
stores.
The machines are placed on the
counter of the stores, and by de-
posting one cent, a customer can
fill his lighter.
Only three of the machines have
been found on counters in WASH
ington, but it was planned to have
them in nearly every cigar and
drugstore in the city, until the Fire
Department frowned on their use.
The department is against any un-
supervised method of handling in
f1ammable materials. and it is said
that the fuel used in the proposed
machines has a high-f1ash test and
might be extremely dangerous.
An amendment to the fire regula-
tions, which would prohibit the use
of the fluid machines in the District
unless they were properly super
vised, has been suggested to the
Commissioners. Even though they
are supervised by some responsible
person in the store in which they
are placed, license, costing So a
year, would have to be obtained to
operate them.
In some of the country, the Fire
Department has learned, gasoline is
sofd on the self-service principle.
The department is also against this
method of diSpenSing gasoline.
