Daniel F. Mccarthy, %, Brooklyn

nounce his American citizenship to
become a German, was sentenced last
week in Frankfurt to eight months in
jail-in the United States.
The son of a late Wall Street
broker pleaded guilty in a us. mill

of Germany illegally. He said he had
fallen in love with the German way
of life and denied a girl was in

said, "I just like Germany better"
Telephoned appeals by his mother
in New Hyde Park, N. Y, failed to
change his mind. She was overjoyed
at the courts verdict.
The sentence to be served at the
Fort Hancock, N. j., Army disci-
plinary barracks, apparently blocks
any chance Mccarthy might have of
renouncing his citizenship within the
next eight months. He had been free
without bail, to get the feel of living
in postwar Germany without a ration
card.
The military court held that the
law controlling entry into Germany
is similar to the immigration law of
the United States and must be up

Mccarthy was told he had five
days to file petition for a review
of the verdict and sentence.

Science
SIicing It Thin

OllCIn9 " INN
The Bureau of Standards has ex-
planned how to slice tissues one one
quarter milliorth of an inch thick.
Take a monomer and a catalyst
and stir them into a clear plastic
polybutyl methacrylate, for instance.
Embed the tissue in that.
Now get out an ordinary old con-
ventional microtone. Shoot some car
bon dioxide gas into it. The gas enters
the specimen chamber and cools the
specimen. Bring up the microtone
blade to the specimen, which is
mounted on a brass block.
Then, as the brass warns again, it
expands, advancing the specimen a
distance imperceptible to the human
eye, like progress at a foreign min
ister'S conference.
Now-cut!
If you have followed directions
precisely, your slice should be ap-
proXimately one-tenth of a micron
thick. An average human hair is
about rs microns in thickness.
The bureau says thin sliced tissues
are sought for eagerly by researchers
in bacteriology, immunology, pathol-
ogy and industrial technology.

CONGRESS- Problems at Home and dAboad Foreign Ministers

CTATE DEPARTMENT officials
- say the European Recovery
Program is entering a critical
stage at home and abroad, with
its ultimate success at stake.
Not only is the four billion
dollar program enmeshed in Con-
gressional battle over costs, but these
authorities say, it must cope with
new and critical economic problems
arising in Europe.
President Truman tried to focus
national attention on the strategic inn
portance of ERP in a. speech last
week and at the Little Rock war
memorial. He denounced as false
economy" any reduction by Congress
of funds for the second year of the
Marshall plan.
The President linked his fight for
ERP funds to basic warning to the
American people against slackening
support of the home team in the Cold
War just when things are looking
better. He also urged Congressional
approval of the Atlantic Pact and the
military aid program for western Eu-
ropean and other "free nations"
At Midway Point
'We are only midway in carrying
out our policy" Mr.. Truman said.
'We have long way to go before we
can make the free world secure
against. the social and political evils
on which Communism thrives."
The Presidents statement high
lights one of the fundamental prob
lens which recently has been wor-
rying some of his foreign policy
advisers. This IS how to sustain public
interest in and support for foreign pol
icy at times when international events
move along without a daily air of
crisis.

uled to report at the next Big Four
meeting scheduled for sometime in
September in New York.
Creation of a deputies group to
study German treaty would, it was
felt, maintain contact among the big
powers and help ease international
tension. Their continuing study would
also make it easier to convene an
other ministers council without loss
of face.
Hope DwindIed
In the fourth week of the Paris
parley, there was little real hope of
reaching any basic settlement of the
main problems which brought the
ministers together. Progress had been
made, however, on number of tenn
porary trade agreements.
The Paris parley opened month
ago under facade of hope. It had
been called at Soviet suggestion to
discuss new proposals on Germany.
Andrei Vishinsky, the new Soviet
foreign minister. turned up with the
same old arguments that had dead
locked the council at London, a year
and half earlier.
The Russian stand, unacceptable at
London, was even more unthinkable
at Paris. In the interim, the three
western powers had unified their
zones politically and economically. A
government for 40,0Oo,0O0 Germans
had been set up under the Bonn con-
stitution. The Russian blockade of
Berlin was circumvented by the air.
lift and the western counter blockade
was squeezing eastern Germany and
the Soviet satellite countries.
Propaganda Tactics
The facade of hope crumbled swift
ly at Paris when Vishinsky refused
even to consider western proposals
for a unified Germany. Unwilling to
conciliate, he tried to turn the council
forum into a sounding board for
propaganda appeals to the Germans.
The patience of western diplomats
was rubbed thin At one point, Dean
Acheson, us. Secretary of State,
called one of Vishinsky's proposals
"as full of propaganda as a dog is of
fieas."
"In fact" Acheson said, SCI think it
is all fleas and no dog.''

in life, he saiG, it also kills the Joy
that lies in competition, in individual
adventure, new undertakings and
new achievement. He declared:
"These contain moral and intellec-
tual impulses more vital than even
profits.
"At all times in history, there have
been many who sought escape into
security from self reliance.
"Some tell us that in their new era,
life is still a race, but that everybody
must come out even at the end. An
other modernistic school adds that
life still may be race, but each step
must be dictated by bureaucrats with
stop-and-go signals"

ment at Stanford six decades ago, the
fears the depression of that day Gre
ated and the warm welcome he and
his classmates found in the "cold,

nous interest in helping youngsters

possessions and jobs in the United
States and said: 1T is very sad, but
did it ever. occur to you that all the
people who live in these houses and
all those who run this complicated
machine are going to die?
"Just as sure as death, those jobs
are yours. The plant and equipment

never filled by security-seekers."

Banker Fears 'Fiasco'
Unless Housing Chief,
Sell Bonds Wisely
By Robert J. Lewis
Rsol Estots Editor Of The Stor

BOSTON, Nov. 15.-One Of the
Nations leading bankers believes
the multi billion dollar national
public housing program will face
financial fiasco" unless munici-
pal housing authorities and the
Public Housing Administration in
Washington deal wisely" with
bond selling problems.
In a warning issued at the con-
vention of the National Associa-
ton of Housing officials here.
William G. Laemmel, vice presi-
dent Of the Chemical Bank &
Trust Co. of New York. said yes
terday that tax-exempt municipal
housing bonds should find ready
market acceptance" but that cerA
tain circumstances" could pro-
vide adverse factors"
1.-The most important factor to
be dealt with is the size OF the
program" he said. I'm the use
of the word size I do not mean
size from the standpoint OF money
required. The amount OF money,
to my way of thinking, is OF the
least Importance in considering
this particular point.
Financial Fiasco Feared.
But the money requirement,
combined with other complicat-
ing features, presents actual mar
keting problems which. if not
dealt with wisely, can very well
result in financial flasco."
Mr.. Laemmel spoke after Ray
mond M. Foley, administrator OF
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency, and DR.. Leonard A.
Schelle, surgeon general OF the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice, addressed the convention
which has attracted more than
1000 public housing officials from
all over the Nation.
A large delegation is present
from Washington, representing
the Federal housing agencies, the
National Capital Housing Author
ity, the American Institute OF
Architects and other organiza-
tions.
700 Ready to Offer Bonds.
In connection with his warn
ing over financing, Mr.. Laemmei
pointed out that more than TOO
organized housing authorities
throughout the country "are now
or soon will be ready to come
to the market" with bond issues,
and that if such issues were to be
offered over a years period it
would be at the rate of nearly two
a day, including Saturdays, Sun
days and holidays"
The banker contended that such
daily financing is impossible if a
real market for housing bonds is
to be maintained" and advocated
that an arrangement be made by
PHA and local authorities for
group" offerings of bonds by as
many as so authorities at one
time.
Financing must be done in
batches," he said. with the num-
ber of financing dates to be die
tated, by market conditions and
