which courage, self-Sacrifice and
self-confidence" will not prevail
unless American Jews provide in

homes that we must have to re-
ceive and to integrate this new
wave of immigration" she said.

Seagrave Is Denied
Citizenship Defense
BY the Associated Press

RANGOON, Burma, Sept. IA
The American citizenship of DR..
Gordon S. Seagrave, who fought
disease in North Burma for al
most a quarter of century, will
not save him from a high treason
charge, it was disclosed officially
today.
The ailing 53-year old Amer
lean. whose professional skill saved
innumerable Burmese lives, is to
go on trial here October 9.
Death could be the penalty for
the renowned Burma Surgeon" if
he is convicted of treason, abet-
ment of treason and failing to
notify authorities that he knew of
a planned rebellion. DR.. Seagrave
was arrested August Is at his
American-equipped hospital at
Markham, near the Chinese from
tier, on suspicion of helping Karen
tribesmen who have been warning
for independence for two years.
Burma's high treason law,
adopted in 1913. says that "who-
ever being a citizen of the Union
(of Burma) commits high treason
shall be punishable with death"
But Assistant Attorney General
Chan Tun Aung said today that,
irrespective of citizenship or ma
tionality, waging war against the
Union of Burma, or any con-
stituent unit, or assisting any per-
son to wage war is deemed high
treason punishable by death.

mast, arrived this week of the
Naval Academy, the last of seven

and, four Academy professors had
sailed Intrepid in the three-day
race to Bermuda. They left Ber-

later. Her mizzenmast was leveled
by a dockside accident in Ber-
muda. Her radio was out of action
Capt. Charles L. Freeman, fleet
commander, said he was never
alarmed about the little yawl. But
he decided search planes might
take a look-see"' when she failed
to reappear.
He ordered a powerboat to tow
Intrepid home when she finally
was sighted in Chesapeake Bay.
