Road Washed Out; Scouts Eat Mush

The Boy Scouts are back from camping near East Fork on the Solomon River, but they won't forget the winds and rains that kept them in tents most of three days, or eating muSh for two meals day most of the week, or the kindness of the Air Force in drop ping them letter of explanation. The road to Solomon had washed out, cutting off the Scouts from their supply for a while last week, and the Scouts, true to their tradi- tiion, were prepared-in this case, to eat lot of muSh.
 Caught with the boys was Rev. Robert Treat, new to Nome, of the Methodist Church Federated, who went out Monday when Ro- tary Scout committee chairman John McNees went out to bring back Russ Apple, Boy Scout Field representative, who said he had to return to Fairbanks. Rev. Treat, formerly of Juneau, learned very quickly what life on the tundra might be like, and had dug well into a store of stories to keep camp life interesting, before Frank C. Bingham, district attorney, was able to relieve him late Friday night. Saturday the Scouting padre was taken to Solomon, where the Scout larder was restocked

A new cabinet was named in Syria today following a lightning military coup in which the presi- dent and premier of the Middle East country were slain.
 President Husni Zayin, who had seized power only four and a half months ago, fell before firing squad at the Mazza military bar racks yesterday. Premier Muhsen Bey Berazi, generally considered the brains of the regime, died with him.
 The coup was carried out by a group of senior army officers led by Col. Cami HennaWi, 51, Syrian hero of the Palestine war. Hen nawi told Syrian political leaders last night that Zayim was guilty of "conceit and despotism" and said the uprising was forced by the presidents reckless spending of government funds and his failure to follow through on promises ot reform.
 The political leaders called on elderly former president Hasem , bey Attasi to form a new govern ment. He in turn named II men to serve in his cabinet.
 The coup had immediate reper- cussions in the Middle East. King Abdullah, who has made no secret of his desire to incorporate Syria into his Hashemite Jordan CTrans- JOrdan), urged an immediate meeting of the Arab League to discuss the Syrian crisis.
 Voters in Western Germany have rebuffed communism and extreme right prO-nazi groups. More than 24,O00,000 Germans participated yesterday in the cleo ton of a 402-member parliament.

In District Ordered
Increase in Applications
And Lock OF Funds Blamed,
SIosh in Effect Moy I

A S per cent cut In public as
sistance grants TO about 1900
needy persons in the District was
announced today by John w,
Tramburg. director OF the District
Department OF Public Welfare.
The reduction starts on May /,
Mr.. Tramburg said the Board
OF Public Welfare was forced 10
make the reduction--the second
since last October. when aid was
slashed 7 per cent-because Of
mounting requests for aid and
the fact that relief funds are
running low here.
Because of the seriousness OF
the situation the board Is forced
TO put the 8 per cent reduction
in effect Immediately for new
applications. Since the April as.
sistance checks have been mailed
to the great bulk OF the need,
here the reduction for them viii
not take effect until May !.
Mr.. Tramburg estimated ths
cut would amount TO about s34,.
900 a month. And he added thai
the reduction would have 10 re-
main In force for the next fiscal
year unless additional funds are

He explained the board was

funds thinner. The board decided
to take the latter course.
Applications for relief for the
first three months Of this year. he
noted. were higher than At any
time since 1912.

that school officials have long

This leaves the Prince free to
marry American film actress Rita

Wherry Proposes Use
OF Some ERP Funds
To Arm West Europe
Senate Near Possoee
Of Aid Bill; Nourse
Warns Against Expense
By J. A. O'Leor

Senate Minority Leader Whefry
proposed to-day that the cost Of
rearming Western Europe to back
up the North Atlantic treaty be
financed from the $500, ,000. 900
of economic aid Congress is now
considering for these same coun-
tries.
Senator Wherry made the sug-
gestion as the Senate neared pas
sage of the European recovery
bill. He cited yesterdays state
ment by DR.. Edwin q. Nourse,
chairman of the Presidents Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers, that the
military aid program costing one
to two billion dollars should not
be added to the SAL 300, 900 900
national budget for 1850.
The Republican leader added
that it is becoming a question of
whether to shop "arms or butter"
In floor debate few minutes
later Senator KEN. Republican,
of Missouri agreed with Senator
Wherry that DR.. Nourse's state
ment would justify a re-survey of
economic expenditures in Europe
under the Marshall Plan.
No Indication of Reduction.
While congressional leaders
gave strong backing to the Nourse
prosposal to finance the arms
program within the limit Of funds
already asked for defense spend
ing, there were no indications
they would agree to a cut in the
authorization being considered for
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration.
All efforts in the past week to
reduce the $5,580,000 ceiling on
European economic aid for the
next Is months have failed. How
ever, economy advocates have sig
nified their intention of trying
again to do so when the Senate
Appropriations Committee Is de-
Gliding on how much Of the au-
thorization should be appropri-
ated. The pending measure au-
thorizes but does not actually pro-
vide the funds for the foreign aid
program.
Senator Wherry indicated that
DR.. Nourse may be asked to tes-
tify before the Appropriations
Committee.
Must Revise Entire Program.

j. ). Attorney
Drops Thomas
Pyramid Case
Charges Dismissed by
Keech; Virginia Ruling
Holds Clubs Lotteries

The United States attorneys Of
fice today dropped its case against
a Washington bricklayer indicted
for Pyramid Club activities, and
at the same time the Virginia
State attorney general ruled that
Pyramid Clubs violate that States
law against lotteries.
At the request of the Govern
ment, District Court Judge Rich
mond B. Keech dismissed the in
dictment charging Daniel A.
Thomas, %, Of 81 Hawaii avenue
NE. with promoting a lottery
called a Pyramid Club"
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond of Virginia. in a letter to
Commonwealth's Attorney T. Gray
Haddon in Richmond, said he be-
lieved such clubs constitute a lot
terry and violate the State law. He
had been asked by Common
wealth's attorneys for Henrico and
Hanover Counties to rule on the
legality Of the get-rich-quick
scheme.
No Intent Shown.
In District Court here, Assistant
United States Attorney John C..
Cunliff. jr.. moved for dismissal of
the indictment on the ground that
Mr.. Thomas had shown no intent
to violate the law.
Mr.. Conliff pointed out that 1t
had been judicially determined
that an indictment properly can
be returned against a person par
ticipating in a Pyramid Club. but
he questioned whether the ends Of
justice required that Mr.. Thomas
be tried for taking part in an ac-
tivity which had not been passed
on judicially at the time of the
offense.
Thomas Not in Court.
Mr.. Thomas did not appear in
court. He was represented by At
torneys George j. Boden, Denis
X. Lane and Edward e. O'Neill.
Mr.. Conliff pointed out that at
the time of his arrest Mr.. Thomas
freely admitted participating in a
Pyramid Club, and said he would
not have done so had he known
his actions constituted a violation
of law.
Mr.. Conliff commented that at
the time of Mr.. Thomas arrest.
sit would seem that many persons,
lawyers and laymen alike, had
doubt as to the legality Of this en-
terprise."
He added that after careful con-
sideration, the United States at
torney's office felt that the ends
of justice would best be served by
requesting the court to dismiss the
case.
Thousands Involved at Time.
Last Friday, Judge Henry A.
Schweinhaut denied a motion by
defense counsel to dismiss the
Thomas indictment and suppress
evidence in the case.
The case was presented to the
United States Attorneys Office by
the Police Department. according
to Mr.. Conliff. and then presented
to the grand jury.
Thousands of Washingtonians
were involved in getting a the
oretical $2.048 for 81 investment
via the Pyramid Clubs at the time
Mr.. Thomas was indicted.
Since then, Pyramid Clubs pre-
sumahly have crumhled.
