To the hundreds who lately

said:
Put up 10,5oo Formosa dol
lars ($875) to guarantee your re-
turn. Businessmen may stay
away two months, all others one
month. If you're not back by
then. your money will be forfeited

Scores Of members of the Leg

j. ). Orders Czechs
To Close Consulate in
New York as ReprisaI
State Department Shuts
BrotisIovu Office in
Yielding to Demand
By the Assoeioted Press

The United States today ordered
Communist Czechoslovakia to
close its New York consulate.
At the same time, the State De-
partment announced that the
American consulate in Bratislava
is being closed. The United States
said it is yielding to a demand by
the Prague government to reduce
total United States diplomatic
staff in Czechoslovakia from 26 to
IL Americans by June 6.
The department said the Amer
lean action was taken in a note
presented by Ambassador Ellis
Briggs to Czech Foreign Minister
Villain Siroky at Prague today.
The American move was in an
swer to a Czech note of May %
saying the United States should
cut its official personnel to IL per-
sons-the number of Czech diplo-
mats now officially permitted in
this country.
American Officials Angered.
The Czech demand had angered
State Department officials since
this country has for several years
maintained a larger staff in
Prague than the Czechs have
maintained in Washington.
The decision therefore was
made to force the closing of the
Czech consulate general, includ-
ing the office Of the commercial
counselor, in New York. While
the American note used such
terms as requests" the message
amounted to an order to the
CzechS to close the consulate.
This meant the Czechs would
consulate so that the State De-
close the American Bratislava
partment simply beat the Czechs
to the punch and announced the
consulate there is being closed.
The action came within "a after
the United States had restricted
Romanian diplomats to an area
Of IS miles around WASHINGTON
That move was in retaliation for
Romanian restrictions on United
States officials in that country.
May Hinder Czech Trade.
The main result of the closing
OF the consulates appears likely to
make it more difficult for the
Czechs to carry on trade with the
United States. Officials said the
Czechs had a favorable balance
last year-their imports of Amer
lean goods totaling $21.3 million
against their estimated sales to
the United States of $22 million.
The New York consulate gen.
eral was the last establishment
Czechoslovakia had in this country
aside from the Embassy in WASH
ington. The consulates at Pitts
burgh and Cleveland already had
been ordered shut down this
month in retaliation for an en-
forced two-thirds cut in the num-

Red Youths Celebrate
With Nazi-Like Pomp,
Fanfare in Berlin
Young Communists Honor
Russiun War Dead as
West Guards Borders
By the Associated Press

BERLIN. May 27.-With pomp
and fanfare reminiscent of the
Hitler era, East Germany's Com
munist youth brigades paid hon.
age today to Russia's war dead.
Western troops and West German
police patrolled the Western Sec
tors on watchful alert as the long
heralded Whitsuntide rallies
steamed into high gear.
There were a few minor Incl
dents here and there, but mainly
the city was calm and orderly.
Three East German police, armed
with old German army carbines,
abducted German from the
American sector during the noon
hour and fired on Western police
when they attempted pursuit.
That was the second such Incl
dent in "a hours. The first was
forestalled last night when Brit
ish sector police seized two alleged
Communist agents as they were
pushing a political refugee into
an East-bound elevated train.
But all the Eastern police were
not happy. Eight young conscripts
fed to the Western sectors, Allied
officials reported, making a total
OF IA such deSerters so far.
Wreaths Laid at Memorial.
More than 5000 blue-shirted
youngsters of the Free German
Youth FDD stood stifay while
wreaths were laid at the foot of
a Soviet memorial made largely
of marble from Hitler's former
chancellory.
The ceremony was a highlight
in the three-day FDJ demonstra-
tion which will be climaxed here
tomorrow with a monster parade.
Today's tribute to the war dead
OF country which was once Ger
many's bitterest foe called out only
a portion of the estimated 377,-
600 youths of East Germany, who
have already gathered here.
The wreath-laying ceremony.
which also was used to attack the
Western Allies, was strictly a Ger
man affair. Only two Soviet Of
flcers were on hand. They stayed
discreetly in the background.
But the East German Peoples
Police, the organization the AL
lies charge is an army, postured
and patrolled with authority.
Three hundred of them lined the
long driveway into the grounds.
They made one concession to the
Soviets in their uniforms. Today
they all wore red neckties.
Foreign Delegates Present.
While the black booted police
army band pumped out a Russian
marching song the long line of
wreath bearers streamed through
two giant marble Soviet flags
which form a gateway to the ter
race.

Free German Youth, led a process

The letter. dated May Is, related
directly to the testimony Of Erick-

request the Senator said had been
made earlier to Mr.. Fay to review
the Costello testimony.
Senator Mcfarland also an
nounced the subcommittee is not

two men for further questioning,
because it is not within the juris-

determine whether either of them
committed perjury in their earlier

only the Federal Courts have such
jurisdiction and that the district
attorney must determine whether
there is sufficient evidence to
present to grand jury.
Senator McFarland's letter to
Mr.. Fay follows, in part: "Subse-
quent to our recent telephone con-
versation with respect to the
transcript of the testimony of
Frank Erickson before our SUBJ

discuss with members of the SUBJ

fore us.
Newspaper accounts relating
to the contents of Erickson'S pri-

have committed perjury in his
testimony before our committee
This. of course, can only be de-
termined from a careful examina-
tion of both the transcript of the
testimony and the seized docu-
mentS.
"The subcommittee, therefore
has directed me to call these mat

with respect to our similar re-
quests dealing with the testimony
of Frank Costello before our SUBJ
committee, want you to know
that we greatly appreciate the
careful study you informed me is
being made since receipt by your
office of the transcript of Costello's s
testimony before a New York
grand jury in 1885.
you, of course, realize that we
have no alternative but to call
these matters to your attention
Prosecution for perjury before a
congressional committee falls

the United States courts, and the
office of the United States Dis
trict Attorney, in which the al
legged crime was committed has
sole responsibility in determining

It weighed these possible
verdicts:
To find for Draper or Adler or

The French-bred colt Galcadol

Double Eclipse, stablemate o1
Prince Simon, was third in the
11z-mile run.
Prince Simon, owned by Will
liam Woodward, New York bank
er. appeared to have the race won
in the stretch, but the French colt
caught him.
The victory of Marcel Boussac's S
horse killed the 25-year hopes of
Mr.. Woodward of winning the COW
eted British turf prize with an
American-br horse.
Double Eclipse 4 Lengths Back. ,
Galcador won by a head, after
Prince Simon had led almost from
start to finish. Double Eclipse
was four lengths farther back.
Prince Simon started as a red
hot 2-to-1 favorite.
Galcador's win gave Boussac a
fine double. His filly Asmena won
the EPSON Oaks Stakes Thursday.
The winner paid 100 to 9, while
Double Eclipse, owned by Lady
Zia Wernher, was a 40-to-1 shot
in the field of 25 starters.
It was the richest Derby of
them all, with the winner net
ting SAT, ,629. Second money was
$5,636 and third was $2.818.
Until Galcador came with a
long-sustained finishing run it
seemed certain Prince Simon
would succeed. Mr.. Woodward's
horse appeared to have run the
other "a starters off their feet.
Galcador caught him in the last
few strides.

The royal family. Bing Crosby
and many film stars. including
Rita Hayworth-wife of Prince
Ally Khan-Dorothy Lamour and

The crowd was estimated at

downs in a circus atmosphere.
Telegram II finished fourth,
Rising Flame fifth and Castle
Rock sixth.
Welsh View was seventh. The
further order of finish was not re-
corded.
Galcador's time was 2:3645,
compared with the record of
2:334s.
Prince Simon's sire is Prince

The fly carries these organisms on his

developing mediums.
The whole life cycle of the fly re-
quires about two weeks.
The old flies go on laying eggs. and
the new ones start right in. so that dur
ing August and September we have more
flies than ever.
Adult flies becomes dormant in late
fall, resting out the winter in small
crevices.
1t has been established that the eggs
of some parasitic worms may pass
through the alimentary canals of house
flies. and be deposited with the fly
"speck." Various bacteria of the more
resistant sorts are deposited on our walls

Diseases spread by flies, either through
their specks or by contamination of
foods, include tuberculosis. infantile diar-

any longer in dealing with the Kremlin, that the
time has come to put an end to fence-sitting
and that Yugoslavia ought therefore to side with
the overwhelming majority of the United Nations
in seeking to keep the Korean conflict from
spreading.
At any rate, the logic Of events would seem
to be compelling Tito to follow such course.
After all, both his own country and his personal
regime-which only couple of years ago was the
Kremlin's darling-are sorely threatened by the
satellite armies Of Romania, Bulgaria and
Hungary, and the Soviet directed Cominform has
not relaxed in the slightest It's relentless political
and economic warfare against him. Thus facing
the menace Of armed aggression like that in
Korea, he can hardly continue to carry water on
both shoulders in the U. N, whose help he himself
may need one OF these days. The situation
apparently is leaving him with no choice but to
throw caution to the winds and come out firmly

Such a poem causes many to shud-

The philosophical intent is plain, but
the hygiene is terrible.

with indifference.
They swat it.
The fly swatter at one time held an
honored place in Washington folklore.
The Star gave away swatters, and did
a great deal of good, for there is moth

the careers of these obnoxious flyers.
But the very word. "dy," comes from
them, <and hence they must be looked
