OF Missing Architect,
Reported Missing Too

American diplomatic officials in
Hungary and Czechoslovakia have
been asked by the State Depart
ment to run down reports that
an American, Noel Field. is miss
ing behind the Iron Curtain.
Noel Field is a brother of Her.
mann Field, Cleveland architect.
who also has been missing since
he boarded a plane in Warsaw,
Poland, six weeks ago.
Noel Field was described as a
Communist by Whitaker Cham
bers, former Communist courier,
during the August. 1948, hearings
of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities.
His name was brought into the
inquiry when Mr.. Chambers was
testifying that Alger Hiss-later
tried on perjury charges-consid-
cred Noel Field likely prospect
for a Communist "cell' in the
Government, only to discover he
was already in the Communist
apparatus.
Worked in Geneva.
Mr.. Hiss, former top State De-
partment official, is due to be tried
again since his trial ended with
hung jury.
Mr.. Chambers testified it was
his recollection that Noel Field
came from wealthy family. and
that he worked in Geneva with
the League of Nations. He said he
had been told Noel Field later be-
came the head of the Unitarian
Relief.
The State Department. in an
nouncing the inquiry, described
Noel Field as former State De-
partment employe who has been
living recently in Switzerland. A
spokesman said the department
was informed he went 10 Prague
last May and the following June
an acquaintance reported receiv-
ing a telegram from him saying
he was going to Hungary for a
few days.
Press Officer Lincoln White said
1--WE have no information that he
has been heard from since"
Meanwhile, there has been no
information about Hermann Field,
although the United States has
pressed the Polish government re-
peatedly for information.
Mr.. White said Noel Field
worked for the State Department
in 1930-35 and then joined the
former League of Nations secre-
tariat.
Published reports said he was
attached to the Office of Strategic
Services in wartime and that he
went to Budapest in search Of his
brother.
Mr.. White said it was under
stood Noel Fields wife had been
in Prague, where she went pre-
sumably to meet Hermann Field
on his arrival from Warsaw.

BOOTH. GLORIA JEAN. In sad but
loving memory Of our darling JEANNE
who left US two years ago today, october
In a beautiful cemetery,
Not very far away,
We remember very clearly
Just two years ago today.
They took our little Jeannie,
We had to leave her there.
But God had sent an angel
To- guide her in His care.
As some sweet flowers droop and die
-, When blishted. by the frost
She faded from before our eyes
And all too soon was lost.
But in Gods garden. free from pain,
Where grow HIS fairest flowers,
We know that We shall meet again,
This dear. sweet bloom of ours.
Her darling smile, her precious face,
No one will ever take her place.
We miss her love, her CHEEKY ways,
Please, God, just let her know
That we down here do not forget,
We love and miss her SO.

Workers, and American Com
munications Association. These
unions were said to represent
about 10 per cent Of the State
CLOS claimed 1000. 900 members.
The amendment also bars MEM
bers Of Fascist and other totali-
tartan organisations.
Following Convention Policy.
The action by the anti Com
munist Executive Board marked
tho beginning Of restrictions In
New York State In line with the
recent CIO national convention'a Z
oust-the-Reds policy.
Mr.. Hollander said the board
pledged support to the new CIO

Judge in Baltimore
Refuses 10 Predate
Divorce II Years
ay the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 24.-The
legal difficulties resulting from
marital troubles Of a Prince
Georges County woman remained
unchanged today so far as a Bal
timore Court is concerned.
Yesterday. Judge Joseph Sher-
bow declined to predate a divorce
granted Mrs. Emily Crook Soper
back to 1929. If he had done so
she would have been able to pur-
sue a suit for support against a
Washington man she married
under the assumption she had
been divorced from James s.
Crook, her first husband.
In addition, antedating the di-
vorce decree also would have
blocked a suit by Joseph L. Soper.
an insurance man, Of the 1900
block Of K street NV. Washing
ton, for annulment of his 1942
marriage to Mrs. Soper.
Judge Sherbow ruled he lacked
authority to change the date Of
the 1916 decree, although the de-
cree would have been handed
down in 1929 If her first husband
had paid the cost of the proceed
ings, as was his legal obligation.
Mr.. Crook, a carpenter, died last
year.
The history of the case is this:
In 1929 Mrs. Crook filed a di-
vorce suit here against Mr.. Crook
on grounds of adultery. The de-
cree was ready for signature by
the judge on July 30, 1929, but
lit was never submitted and moth
ing was done until August 8, 1916.
On that date, Mr.. Crooks sister
testified that the marital status
of the couple had not changed.
Two days later, costs were paid
and the decree was signed.
On August ~, 1912, Mrs. Crook
married Joseph L. Soper in Prince
Georges County believing her
divorce was final. The Sopers
were advised in 1916 while in
Honolulu that the decree had not
been made final, but they never
entered into a second marriage
ceremony after the decree actu-
ally became final.
The Sopers separated last July
20. She filed suit for support in
Washington, then Mr.. Soper
brought the annulment action.
