News of the World At A Glance
Tuesday. October 25. l949 CBy The Associated Press)

The Roman Catholic hierarchy in Czechoslovakia today told it's priests to swear loyalty to the government, and accept certain provisions of the new church control law to save them from arrest.
 The bishops said it was neceS- sary to accept with regret the new law to save priests "for the spirit ual care of the faithful"
 The hierarchy said the priests could accept their salaries from the state and take a state oath of loyalty. This is a reversal of the. hierarchy's previous position in defense of which a reported 300 priests have gone to jail. The priests, however, must state they accept the governments rules with the reservation that they do not violate the church law or priestly conscience.
 The new law, which becomes effective Nov. l, gives the govern ment control of appointments, if nnaces and administration of all churches.
 The problem of demilitarizing Jerusalem is before the United Nations security council today. The Holy City at present is partly under control of Israel troops, partly under the Arab forces of Hashemite Jordan.
 One proposal is to make Jeru- salem an international zone un- der U. N. control, Israel is opposed to this plan.
 Egype, an Arab state, raised the issue in the security council. The question came up as Israel charg- ed another Arab state, Iraq with thousands of it's Israeli inhabitants. The charges were de- nied by Fadhil JamaIi, Iraq for eign minister.

Seattle's Basement ''COld Strike"
 Continues to Grow

SEATTLE, (P)-More raw gold was found Monday in the base ment room of the late Carl w. Jo- lin in a first hill rooming house, Glen s. Corkery, Jolin estate coun- Sel, said.
 Corkery said that after he and special administrator William E. Walker discovered an estimated S6,000 in gold and amalgum in Jo- lin's room last Friday, Walker got to worrying about one old locked grip they had ignored because it was so dilapidated and dusty it seemed most unlikely it could contain anything of value.
 "Walker went back and took the old grip to a locksmith," Cor kery said. When it was opened, it proved to contain an old pocket book hold a dozen nuggets, some the size of a dime, one the size of a quarter. The dirt of the creek beds was still on them. Also in the grip was chamois-skin poke and a Spokane Trust Company bank bag, both containing amalgum. The find must be worth at least $400. We took it down to the Laucks laboratories, where we took the gold found Friday"
 Corkery, himself a prospector, said Jolin apparently acquired the gold during his mining days in Alaska years ago. The lawyer wrote to the U. s. mint, asking the estate be allowed to sell the gold on the open market, instead of be- ing required to take the govern ment's price.
 Jolin bequeathed his $23,000 es- tate to his sister, Hildur EliSabet Gustafson of Skora, Sweden. He died Thursday at 70, of heart at tack, while watching market quo- tations in a brokerage office.
 SEATTLE, P)-Yet more gold belonging to the late Carl w. Jo- lin was uncovered yesterday in a safe deposit box.
 Glen s. Corkery, counsel for the special administrator William E. Walker, said it consisted of gold dust" in two pokes in a box at the Seattle Trust and Savings bank.
 Jolin, 70, retired Alaskan sour dough, died of a heart attack Thursday while watching the stock market, in which he was an investor. Ever since his nuggets and gold dust have been coming to light. Most of them were found by Corkery and Walker in bat

proval of a tax rate decided on by
