By the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE Amer
ican-licensed newspaper Tagess-
piegel reported without confirma-
tion today that East Zone Prime
Minister Otto Grotewohl and his
wife had attempted to commit
suicide.
Mr. Grotewohl, repeatedly fall
len from Russian graces. is in a
Soviet military hospital being

q nervous breakdown after long
pickering with his deputy. Walter
Ulbricht, veteran Communist.

Mrs. 0Ids Loses Fight
For Repayment From
|Chi|dren's Trust Fund
Nv the Assoeioted Press

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. IA
The Connecticut Supreme Court
held yesterday that Mrs. Nina
Gore Vidal Auchincloss Olds. So
cially prominent in Washington,
is not entitled to reimbursement
from trust funds left to two Of
her children for sums spent for
their support and education.
Mrs. Olds, of 3110 Dumbarton
avenue NV. is the widow of Rob-
ert Olds and the daughter of the
late Senator Thomas P. Gore Of
Oklahoma. She was divorced
from the children's father, Hugh
D. Auchincloss, New York broker,
in 1941.
The children were the benefi-
ciaries of trust funds established
in the will of their paternal grand
mother, Mrs. Emma Brewster Au-
chincloss of Fairfield.
Terms of Trust Cited.
Their mother appealed from a
Superior Court decision denying
an order reimbursing her from
the trust funds.
The children appealed from a
denial of an order directing that
income of the trusts be spent for
their benefit.
In rejecting both appeals, the
State Supreme Sourt held that
the terms Of the trusts gave the
trustees the right to consider
whether other means Of support
were available for the children.
A clause in the grandmother's
will gave the trustees the right
to spend income from the trusts
for the children if, lin their alb
solute discretion" they deemed it
advisable: or to accumulate the
income and add 1t to the princi-
pal.
In exercising their absolute
discretion to make such expendi-
tunes as they deem advisable"
said the Supreme Court, the trus-
tees may properly consider other
means of support and education
available to the grandchildren"
At the time of the trial accu-
mulated gross income in the two
trusts totaled about $4,000 each.
Under the terms of the trusts, the
two children will receive all the
income after reaching 81.

New York 10 Garry
Plea for More Water
To State Legislature
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Pro-
posals for aiding WATERPROOF New
York City today appeared headed
for. the 1850 State legislative Ses-
sion.
State Democrats, cycling the
present metropolitan water crisis
and the threat of more shortages
in the future, tossed the issue into
the State political mill yesterday.
At party legislative hearing,
State Assemblyman Irwin Stein
gut of Brooklyn called for "long-
range program for water supply
80 that this situation may never
present itself again"
Action Urged on Both Parties.
Mr.. Steingut, Democratic mi
nority leader in the Assembly,
said both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis should be ready next month
to join in seeking remedies on a
State wide basis for the city's
outgrown reservoir system and for
shortages elsewhere in the State.
This is not political question,
but far transcends politics" he
said.
Meanwhile soaking rains of
more than an inch in some areas
yesterday gave the city's critically
low water supply its first major
increase since last June.
But City Water Commissioner
Stephen j. Carney said it would
take more than a month of such
rains to recoup the losses this
year in the city's reservoirs, now
two thirds empty.
Repeats Conservation Pleas.
He repeated appeals for con-
servation, and urged the city's
100000 people to cooperate
fully in the water holiday" pro-
claimed for this Friday.
The program calls for no bath
ing, no shaving. and dozen
other home water-saving meas
ures.
The man who has a heavy
beard on Friday, Mr.. Carney said,
wears "a badge of honor"
Total storage in all Of New
York City's reservoirs was given
yesterday as 1888, ,000.0 900 GAL
Ions. a gain Of 1.026,000 gallons
for the day. This put the level up
a fraction to 1913 per cent of ca
pacity.

u. n. Officials Want
Israel To Admit
Arab Refugees

LAUSANNE, (JTA)-The Arab
refugee problem can be solved
only as part of the solution of
the larger Palestine problem, DR..
Walter Eytan, head of the Israeli
delegation to the preliminary
peace conference here, declared in
a statement here this week, as it
was learned that U.N. quarters
believe that it would be reason
able for Israel to take back some
100000 of the refugees.
It was further learned that
members of the U.N. Cancellation
Commission lean toward the Is
raeli position that acceptance of
the refugees must depend on final
action on Israel'S borders. These
same circles believe that since
Egypt has expressed ~disinterest in
the GAIA strip which it still holds,
it should be coded to Israel to-
gether with the $50, 1000 refugees
now living in it.
