New FHARu|es
On Segregation

On Housing Law

The Federal Housing Admins
tration's amendments of its rules
and regulations. designed to pre-
vent racial discrimination in the
use or sale of property covered by
Government-g uara n teed mort
cages, are expected to be far more
strict than FILA spokesmen have
Indicated thus far, The Star
learned today.
A clarifying statement" issued
last week by Franklin D. Richards,
commissioner of the Federal
Housing Administration, to the
effect that .sthese amendments do
not attempt to control any owner
In determining what tenants he
shall have or to whom he shall
sell his property" appears to con-
tradict the real implications of the
proposed amendments.
For the amendments, read in
connection with the history of the
effort to apply them. make it
evident that the Governments
purpose is to effect such control
over private property owners If
they are to secure FHA-guaran-
teed loans.
Brand-New Loan Policy.
Furthermore, the changes in the
FHA rules and regulations will
mark the first attempt by a Gov
vernment agency to eliminate all
considerations of private property
value. in appraising property for
loans, that are based on the theory
that such value is affected by "a
mixture of user groups due to
differences in race, color, creed
or nationality.
Up to this time FILA policy has
been to consider the risk element"
involved in the possibility that
values would deteriorate if Negroes,
for example, moved into property
occupied predominantly by white
people.
The changed rules and regula-
tions, to be announced sometime
soon by FILA, are the result OF
complaints by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People. The complaints

By J. A. O'Leov

Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma. said today he
believes the United States and the
cooperating countries of Europe
have Russia blocked" now against
any further expansion to the west.
Chairman of a Senate Appro-
priations subcommittee just back
from an overseas tour, Senator
Thomas told press conference !:
II think she (Russia> knows
that if she takes any further ag-
gressive move to the west she is
in trouble"
Asked what kind of trouble. the
Senator replied, war" He made
the statement in explaining why
he believes the United States must
continue aid to the cooperating
countries that border on Russia.
Further aid to other parts of Eu-
rope should depend on conditions
when the appropriation bill comes
up next year. he said.
Cut in Aid Favored.
The Thomas viewpoint came
after three other Democratic
Senators on the tour came out
last night for a reduction in Mar
shall Plan economic aid next year.
Their comments strengthened
indications that the Economic Co
operation Administration fund for
next year may be cut by at least
81 ,000, 100000 below the current

Consul Ward and Staff
In Tientsin AWAITING

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Dec. 9.-Freedom was
just a day or so away today for
Angus Ward and his staff from
the Red-harassed American Con-
sulate in Communicated Muk-
den.
The Consul General and his
party arrived last night at the
Communist North China port of
Tientsin. BY train it had taken
nearly 81 hours to travel the TOO
miles between Mukden and Tien-
tsin.
But it meant the end of nearly
years virtual imprisonment for
Mr.. Ward in the Manchurian
capital. The Consulate staff was
in Mukden when the Chinese
Reds marched in. Then it
couldn't get out. The Com
munists finally agreed to "deport"
the staff-but not until after they
forced Mr.. Ward to spend a
month in jail on what the State
Department called "trumped-up"
charges.
Entire Group Is Well.
State Department officials here
received word from Tientsin which
indicated the entire group Of 20
was well and that it encountered
no difficulties on the long railroad
journey. The arrivals were housed
in American consulate residences
in Tientsin.
It still wasn't certain exactly
when the party will board an
American ship-or ships-for the
long delayed voyage htme. 1t
could be tomorrow. but the pickup

Soviet Bulletin
Barred in School
Libraries Here
Institutions Are on
Mailing List for
Propaganda Magazine
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

District school officials quietly
have blocked a move of the Rus
sian Embassy heresto get it's prop
aganda publications into the city's
high schools. it was learned today.
Norman j. Nelson, first assistant
superintendent of schools, said
that copies of the Soviet Informa-
ton Bulletin suddenly appeared in
the mail at the high schools Short
ly after the fall term opened. The
Information Bulletin is published
twice month by the Soviet EN-
bassy here.
Mr.. Nelson said that the school
officials decided to withdraw the
magazine from the school libraries
to which they had been ad-
dressed without publicity and
forget the matter. All school
principals were told to intercept
the magazine and send it to the
Franklin administration building
I've got quite a stack Of maga-
zines in my office now." Mr.. Mel
son commented.
Copies Received in California.
The effort to place the Soviet
publication in the high schools
apparently is not confined to
Washington alone.
Mr.. Nelson said he knew that
California public schools had
been receiving copies of the
magazine by mail. The school
superintendent of a town in
Massachusetts,. also was reported
by the Associated Press early
today as having banned use of the
publication in his schools.
The Russian Embassy con-
sistently has declined to make
public the circulation figures of
the magazine-a lavishly illus
trated publication with pictures
of Soviet scenes in which people
are always smiling. It generally
contains several features on vari-
GUS phases of life in Russia and
carries speeches by Prime
Minister Stain. Foreign Minister
Vishinsky and other top Soviet
officials.
Valentine A. Sorokin. second
secretary of the Soviet Embassy,
when asked if the magazine was
being sent to high schools over
the United States, replied:
I'VE do not divulge our sub
scribers to any one. I'm afraid
couldn't answer that question"
Surprised at Objection.
He said he was surprised there
would be objection to the plac-
ing OF the magazine in school
libraries and asked if school super
intendents were a kind of judge"
of what literature the American
people could read. He said it was
his understanding that in the
United States, citizens could read
and study any publications they
desired.
The approved lists, school off,
cials explain. enable teachers to
guide the studies of the students
and is not considered censorship.
1t was pointed out that out Of
school the pupils can read any,
thing they can get hold of.
The District schools, as with
most school systems over the
country, maintain an approved
list of textbooks, reference books
and periodicals for use in class
and in the libraries. A commit
tee of school officials draws up
this approved list and submits it

Ten White Russians
Given Prison Terms
In YugosIav Trial
Priest and Nun Included
In Group Found Guilty
OF Spying on Tito
BY the Asseeioisd Press

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia, Dec. ..
sent 10 White Rus
SLAMS, including a Russian Ortho-
dox priest and q nun, to prison
today on charges of spying for
the Soviet Union against the re-
gime of Premier Marshal Tito.
The 10 also were convicted by
a Yugoslav tribunal Of having
aided the Germans during World
War II. They were given terms
ranging from three to 20 years.
The gray-bearded, black-robed
priest, Father Aleksei Krishko,
was sentenced to serve II years
and six months in prison. He had
denied the charges. Arson Bor-
emovic, a judge and state prose-
cutor under the pro-Nazi war
time government In Croatia, was
sentenced to serve 20 years.
This spy trial has been con-
sidered Tito's answer to the rash
of espionagle and Titoist trials in
the neighboring Communist coun-
tries. The Titoist trials have ac-
cused the defendants of plotting
against the interests of the Soviet
Union.
Admitted Supplying Information.
Most of the Russians admitted
giving information to the Russian
Embassy in Belgrade and spread
ing anti-Tito propaganda among
Yugoslavs.
With few exceptions, the defend
ants conceded in their week-long
trial they "felt guilty of the
charges. But mostly they took
the position that they were acting
as Soviet citizens, not spies. They
contended they were supplying
information" not engaging in in
telligence work.
However, both Father Krishko
and Boremovic. who were given
the stiffest sentences, denied they
were guilty.
These we're the other sentences
Vladimir Ogniev, one-time, cap
tain in the Cars army and chair
man of the White Russian colony
in Sarajevo. six years; Ksenia
Komad, the only woman on trial
once a Russian Orthodox nun,
later school teacher, three years.
Anatolyi Polyakov, 10 years;
Ilya zherebkov, six years; Vasiliyo
Kostryukov. five years; Vadim
Gesler, five years; Peter Sokolov,
four years and six months, and
Georgi Olyshevski, four years.
Two Were Not Tried.
Two of the original IL defend
ants did not go to trial.
One was Vladislav Nehljudov,
another Russian Orthodox priest
who was said by the prosecution
to have been the contact man
between the Sarajevo group and
the Russian Embassy in Belgrade.
When the court opened last week
it announced that he had hanged
himself in his cell to escape
prosecution.
The other was 69-year -old AL
exander Krasilnikov, onetime
colonel in the Cars army who
once was assigned as an intelli-
gence agent to hunt down and as
sassinate Lenin in Finland before
the Russian revolution.

Suffered Under
POntiuS Plate"

nONTIUS PLATE, procurator of
1 Judea, deputy plenipotentiary
of his Imperial Majesty, sat on his
judgment seat and looked at Jesus.
Six times he had looked at him; six
times he had made certain that this
young prisoner was an innocent
man, and six times he had said so,
even in the face of the mob.
The noises in the street confused
him. He could not hear, down
through the centuries, the voices Of
millions of men, women and chill
dren, rising up week after week
and repeating the words, almost
like a curse: "-and in Jesus Christ.
His only Son, our Lord, who t.
suffered under Pontius PLATE" The
voices in the street drowned the
voices of the centuries.
But If, as POntius PLATE
turned Jesus over to the will
of those who hated him, he
had dared to look into Jesus
eyes, and what would he have
seen?
To this very day, and to the end
of time, in all places and among
all men, this Christ whom the world
holds in chains is yet the Judge
of every man. Men may say Of
Jesus what they wish, and he will
be silent still. But in his eyes is the
verdict. A man is judged by his
own judgment Of Jesus Christ. And
you, too. Facing you, he looks
straight through you. What do you
see in Jesus eyes?

- fore the ex-high priest Annas,
there was the formal trial before
the High Priest Caiaphas. He pre-
sided over the Sanhedrin, the SUI
preme court of the Jews at that
time. It was learned tribunal,
venerated all over the Jewish world.
AS the lawyers might say, its writ
ran everywhere; its decisions were
quoted as precedent in Alexandria,
Babylon, Spain. You might have
expected it to be dignified, honor
able. But not on that night, with
that vicim.
You might as well expect a
pack of wolves, starved in mid
winter, to be dignified and hon.
orable with sheep in their
circle. These men, and their
intimate friends, had been de-
scribed by the Prisoner, not
long before, in words that stuck
in their brains like arrowheads.

! If there had been any hope that
they might change, Jesus would not
have used such words. So they had
made up their minds: He must die.
Now was their hour, while the city
slept. Leader of the pack was this
Caiaphas. AS the farce of trial
went on and the high priest by
grace of Rome faced Jesus, High
Priest by the grace of God, what
did he see in Jesus eyes?
That Fox
IF CAIAPHAS was a wolf, Herod
! was a fox. It was Jesus nick
name for him. On that April morn
ing this fox had the surprise of his
lifetime. Before he could collect
his wits, he was facing the very man
whom his private police force had
been vainly trying to arrest - Jesus
of Nazareth. Two kings faced each
other in Herod's hall that morning.
The one wearing robe and crown,
seated on some kind of throne, was
one of the most un-kingly men who
ever bore the royal title. The other,
in plainest citizens clothes, and no
crown, no throne to be seen, was
the one real king who has lived
among men.
