luo Arrests Reported Made L1 New Soy Case

60 after 10 years service. Elective officers are not included. Munich palities would be able to come under the system if they desire.
 The House set 3 pm. Thursday for a hearing on the bill to estab- fish licensing and regulation for children's homes. Rep. Doris Barnes reported number of persons had expressed a desire to be heard. The hearing will be in the House cham Der.
 Three bills were introduced in the House yesterday.
 Rep. Andrew Hope tossed in one as an amendment to the new gen. eral property tax bill, seeking a lower levy on hoats. It proposes to allow boat owners the alternative o1 paying on $4 per ton basis. The same proposal was made while the bill was under consideration in the Senate. It was rejected under the Senate agreement not to grant spe- cial exemptions except for incentive for new industries.
 Conright introduced an amend ment to the veterans loan act. It would specify good and sufficient security" as ample basis for a loan, instead of insistence on mortgage on the property purchased. Conright said it was to make the act more workable for such movable property as boat.
 Owen introduced a bill to change law that was signed only the pre- vious day by the governor. The new law provides 20 percent extra un- employment payment for each de- pendent up to a maximum of 60 percent. But it holds the total all lowable for the unemployed per- son and his dependents to the total to which he is eligible individually. owens revised bill would allow the unemployed person the full amount of compensation to which he is en- titled individually, plus the amount for the dependents. It would make the maximum possible payment to a family $1.015.
 Other measures introduced in- cluded:
 
 A memorial by Owen asking for reestablishment of an N.L.R.B. of- flee in Alaska;
 A resolution hy Rep. Frank Anger man asking Congress to remove re- strictions on gold, as proposed in bills which are pending, and urg- ing that gold producers be allowed to sell in world markets.

FBI MAKES
 BIG CHASE
 IN NY CITY
Russian on LIN Staff and Woman in Justice Dept.
 Stole Secrets, Charge
By w. H. MORLEY


 i WASHINGTON, March 5.-tR-
 A Russian on the United Nations Istaff and an American woman em- ], ployee of the Justice Department
 were held by the FBI in New York
 today accused of stealing U, s. secrets.
 A guarded announcement from
 the Department of Justice hinted
 at spy-thriller sequel to last sum- liners sensational stories of a war
 time Red spy ring operating in high ! government places and relaying in- side information by courier t) Soviet lagents in New York.
 Arrested in New York last night
 after an uptown downtown movie style chase, the Justice Department said, were:
 Judith Coplon, 27, formerly of Brooklyn, NY, an employee of the Department since l943. Officials would say only that her government lpost was minor one. | Valentine A. Gubitchev, g, identi- flied by U. N Secretary General sTrygve Lie as construction engi- neer for the U. N s permanent head quarters in New York.
 i The Justice Department in its an- ,nouncement referred to Gubitchev jas "a member of the Russian Dele lgationv to the U. N.. but official.
 said later that he actually was all
 employee of the international or. ,ganization's secretariat itself.
 [ He is Russian national and U. N. officials said he came here from ; the Soviet Union in 1946 with arr chitccts planning the U N. head quarters building.
 {! The case is considered certain to build up the volume of outcries al- ready heard in Congress about the possibility that spies and saboteurs might get into this country through the United, Nations gate at New York headquarters.
 lHe JuStlce department said FBI agents followed Miss Coplon to New
 York yesterday and arrested her
 with Gunitchev after tailing them through elusive maneuvers in the
 lest detective story tradition. 1 In Miss Coplon's purse when she was taken into custody. the Depart
 ment said, was flat package con- taining typewriter summaries of information abstracted from conti- dental documents involving security ldata and restricted information" Just what was in the documents was kept closely secret, as were most other details of the bizarre af- fair.
 That suggestion came from the Departments statement that Miss Coplon had been under suspicion for some time, as a result of informa- |tion growing out of the governments |routine loyalty check.

Young Baby 5iiters
 Appear as Lobbyists

Banner-bearing baby sitters "picketed" the legislature yesterday.
 Or possibly lobbied is the word for it.
 Five of them, ranging in age from II to IA, parked outside the House chamber with hand-paint- ed sign: We object to s. B. IA" Finally, they worked up enough courage. with bit of coaxing. to march into the gallery with it.
 S.B. IA is the child labor act that the Senate passed this week. Some senators said its language, forbid ding employment of children un- der age l6 after 2 p. m, would cut their baby sitting jobs.
 They hadn't heard about how Senator E. B, Collins already had announced in the Senate that he had arranged with the House Judi ciary committee to amend it to make sure the younger generations economic interests are protected.
 Rep. Clarence Keating father who has become seasoned to letting lineup of five girls have their say, happened to be in the Speak CTS chair at the time. He called on the girls to tell the House members what was wrong with the bill.
 Little Sue Wade spoke up:
 We don't have any other way to make money. Girls who are l6 don't care about baby sitting; they have other ways of making money. But we don't"
 Rep. Amelia Gundersen assured the girls cheerily: Well fix it up for you"
 You'd better one of them re- torted as they left the gallery.
 The other girls were Ann Fur ness, Gladys Uggen, Virginia Barril and Geraldine Thompson. A couple of them didn't want to give their names, and one of them explain ed T don't know what my mother will think about this.
 The House members thought it was fun.

RUSS SHIFT OF M0L0T0v
 STARTLING
Unexplained Release" of Foreign Minister Puz-
 zling to World
By EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, March 5.--tR-Andrei ". Vishinsky has replaced Vyache- slav M. Molotov as Foreign Minister in a momentous shift of helmsmen in International relations.
 Hussias second most important official in dealings with the out side world, Foreign Trade Minister A. I. Mikoyan, also was replaced by his deputy, M. A. Menshikov, after 8 years at the job. Until today Vishin- sky also had been Molotovs dep- uty.
 These dramatic changes--the most important in the Soviet Union since Moiotov took over the foreign min istry decade ago from Maxim Litvinoff-were announced by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in a brief statement which left un- answered host of questions.
 There was no hint as to what new jobs Molotov and Mikoyan might be taking. It said nothing about their being relieved of their duties as deputy chairmen of the council of ministers. On the con- trary it used those titles in refer ring to them.
 There was no hint as to what sig nificance the changes might portend.
 Diplomats in Lake Success, Lon don. Washington and other world capitals were dumbfounded by the unixgalded change They speculated that it might be preparatory to Molotov's succeeding Prime Minister Josef Stalin, or that it meant that Molotov had been given the boot in order to execute ia ar-reaching change in Soviet Policy in the cold war with the west.
 Others. recalling that vishinsky has been the most scathing de- nouncer of the United States and the West in United Nations speech es, speculated that the Soviet was merely seeking more effective in strument of the same policy.

 The German Ruhr, from which sprang two world wars, is gradual ly easing back into the control of some of the big German cartelists who built up Hitler's war machine.
 Twelve Germans have just been nominated to control the Ruhr steel industry, despite the bitter pro- tests of German labor unions and the liberal political parties now struggling against German con- munism.
