A plot to overthrow the com munist government of Czechoslo- vakia by armed revolt has been smashed, the Prague government announced today.
 Six of the alleged plOtterS have been condemned to death after a secret trial. Ten persons have been given life sentences and an un- specified number, lesser prison terms. They were accused of high treason and spying for an undis- closed western power.
 The government claimed the plot was well planned by an un- derground group which has been under police surveillance for some time. The group had even set the day and hour for their armed re- volt" according to the official ! story.
 One of those sentenced to death was Josef Charvaux identified by friends as chief of security police in Prague under the government which was overthroWn by com munist coup in February, l948. The government said the master mind of the plot was the brother of a prominent Prague police of ficial who was busted when the communists seized power.
 The plot, the government said, called for the liquidation of key communist figures, the seizure of public offices, dismissal of the na- tional parliament, and suppression of newspapers. "They intended to return all natiOnalized factories and other enterprises to the origin al owners" the government said.
 President Truman's Philadelphia speech yesterday was music to the ears of Britons. Speaking before the American Legion on the eve of a full dress Washington con ference on Britain'S crisis, the President said Britain's plight would be considered "in a spirit of friendliness and help fulneSs." The British press echoed thanks today.
 London observers aid tn Q speech was hailed on all sides as a good omen for the dollar crisis talks which open Sept. '. The la bor press was particularly jubilant over MT. Truman's implied asSer- ton there would be no interfer- ence with Britain's socialist pro- gram.
 Chinese communists stepped up their drive towards Canton, nation alist provisional capital. The na- tionalistS said the communists were driving toward Lungchuan, which is 145 miles east northeast of Canton. The communists aim to cut the Canton-Hankow rail road, thus Severing nationalist sup ply lines.
 Washington informants said Bri- tain may benefit by a speedup in American strategic stockpi n 2 during the next few months. Large tin and rubber purchases from British areas would aid Britain's dollar position.

Under the old law, workers
could sue employers for back pay
due under the wage-hour provi-
sions, but the administrator of the
law could not sue in behalf of
employees.
The new measure gives the ad-
ministrator the right to sue for
employees, if they consent in writ
ing. The administrator, however,
can not sue for damages and at
torney fees as well as back wages.
Employees. suing on their own, can
collect damages and fees in addi-
ton to back pay.
Under the child labor provisions
of the old act parents could not
employ children 16 to 18 on haz-
ardous jobs, but there was no pro-
hibition against putting children
under 16 on such jobs. The
amended bill plugs that loophole
by barring hazardous parental
employment of children under l6.

Sale Of Times-HeraId,
With Contract Altered,
Approved by Court

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff today signed an order ap-
proving the first accounting rem
dered by executors of the $16,-
100000 Eleanor Patterson estate,
which included the sale of the
Washington Times-Herald to Rob-
ert R. Mccormick Chicago Tri-
bune for $4,500,00O.
The accounting was filed at Dis
trict Court in August.
Along with the order approving
the sale was report prepared by
Theodore Cogswell, register of
wills, and Melvin j. Marques. first
deputy register of wills.
The report disapproved certain
conditions of the Times Herald
sales contract as originally made.
The contract later was changed,
1t was pointed out.
Provision Held Illegal.
Mr.. Cogswell and Mr.. Marques
held illegal an original provision
in the contract through which
seven executives at the Times
Herald, to whom Mrs. Patterson
had bequeathed the newspaper,
were allowed to buy units of the
Nc CORN ck-Patterson trust at
$35.000 a unit.
Two of the Times-Herald execu-
tives. William G. Shelton and
Frank c. Waldrop. were executors
of the Patterson estate.
In connection with the purchase
of units of the Mccormick -Patter-
son trust. the register of wills re-
port said:
THE executors. as individuals,
were purchasing units of the Nc
Cormick-Patterson trust held by
them as executors for their own
personal account, without the
knowledge of the residuary bene-
ficiaries. Such contract for sale
is not legally enforceable in the
District of Columbia over the OBJ
lection of the adversely interested
party"
Parking Lot Sales Questioned.
Elsewhere the report said:
THE seven executives, including
the two executors, were personally
prof1ting at the expense of the
residuary estate by purchasing
estate assets. ="
The register of wills report also
questioned the sale of a parking
lot as a part of the Times-Herald
property. The question of the lot
sale is to be decided later by the
court.
Judge Holtzoff's order ordered
that the law firm of Kirkland,
Fleming, Green, Martin & Ellis,
as attorneys for the executors,
withdraw it's appearance. The
firm has Offices in Chicago and!
Washington.
This order followed a report by
the register of wills stating the
firm could not represent both the
Chicago Tribune, as purchaser of
the Times-Herald, and at the
same time represent executors of
the estate.
Besides Mr.. Shelton and Mr.
Waldrop, the other Times Herald
executives to whom Mrs. Patter-
son left the estate included Ed
mund F. Jewell; Michael w. Flynn,
