men and an attractive blond have
been seized in a breakdown on an
alleged SO million counterfeit
smuggling ring supposedly linked
to a Caribbean revolution plot.
The fantastic scheme. according
to an authoritative source. was to
sneak So million in bogus United

treasury, exchange them for good
Cuban money and then finance a
revolt in the Dominican Republic.
The blond and four men were
arrested here and one man was
apprehended in Miami yesterday.
Two Cubans were held in that
country.
An indictment returned by a
Federal grand jury here alleged
a conspiracy to buy money from
a big American counterfeit ring.
The jury did not mention the
reported Dominican revolution
connection. The indictment named
the two Cubans as plotters.
Five Prisoners Arraigned.

Cuban treasury was revealed be-

RALEIGH, N. c., May 90
North Carolina will vote tomor-
row on whether to send President
Truman's friend, Frank P. Ora

Opposing him in bitter three
cornered primary fight for the

The Democratic nomination is
equal to election in North Caro-
lima.

Boyd, small town pig breeder. is
"a perennial candidate for public
Office. His votes heretofore have
been negligible.
While Senator Graham's friend
ship with the President is not
debatable, Mr.. Truman has taken
no public part in the campaign.
And the 63-year-old former edu-
Gator doesn't always agree with
the Truman policies. He says
he's opposed to forcing the elimi-
nation of. segregation in the
South, to the Brannan farm plan,
to "socialiZed medicine"
Mr.. Smith, while leaning to the
conservative side and critical of
some of the Fair Deal" program,
has been party stalwart for
more than 80 years..
Smith forces have played up
Senator Graham'S connections
with various organizations charged
with having Communist leanings
They also have concentrated on
allegations that Senator Graham
favors doing away with segrega-
ton.

Real life as

Here are stories by a veteran New

some tender, some humorous-tell-

through his rear-view mirror.
For instance, the fare with the
suspicious-looking sack-the unwed
couple about to have a baby-the
wife bringing her husband home
from 10 years in prison-the home
less family who begged to sleep in
the cab.

restock basis.
To have a sustaining pond the
water source must be ideal and rain
bows will not spawn in small ponds
at all. Only a pond with a strong
cold spring source can be developed
into spawning waters.
For rainbows and browns, some
water in the pond that stays below
so degrees is necessary, although
the balance may go up to s5 or 90
degrees for short period. These
extreme conditions cannot prevail
for a very long time. The oxygen
content of the water will be reduced
too low and cause suffocation.
The information further states
that this extreme condition can be
helped by operating an outboard
motor in the pond if the fish become
distressed and gasp at the surface
for air.
w. H. Gysan, manager of Castalia
Farms, stated that it is not the
warmth of the water that kills the
trout, but warm water reduces the
oxygen supply and the fish suffocate.

To Go 10 Rome Office;
Meeting Planned Here
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

sVt3tNottH
About a third of some 600 en-
ployes of the Food and Agricul-
ture Organization here plan to
accompany the United Nations
agency to its new headquarters il,
Rome early next year.
This was disclosed last night as
FAC announced plans for what
probably will be it's last interna-

An FAC spokesman said that
approximately 200 staff members
have decided to make the shift
and that others still are consid-
ering the question. The agency
now is housed at 1901 Connecticut
avenue NV.
The conference, to be held in
the State Departments interna-
tional conference room, 1778
Pennsylvania avenue NV, is a
special one, limited to financial
and administrative matters and
any other urgent business. AS a
result of action of the 1949 con-
ference, FAC will start biennial
conferences in the fall of next
year and probably will hold them
in Rome.
Session Here.
Washington has been the
scene of the 1948 and 1949 con-
ferences. The present session is
scheduled to continue through
November IL.
The FAC council, made up of
18-member nations, will meet
Wednesday. It will conduct the
annual review of the state of food
and agriculture in the world.
Matters to come before the
conference include:
l. Appointment of a director
general and a chairman of the
council, now headed by Viscount
Bruce of Melbourne.
Plant Disease Fight.
2. Action on an international
plant convention designed to halt
spread of plant diseases and pests

service for animal and plant
diseases.
8. Action on membership appli-
cations of the State of Viet-Nam,
the Republic of (West) Germany.
Trans-Jordan and the State of
Cambodia in Indo-China.
The proposal for an Interna-
t1onal Commodity Clearing House

last year after the United States
and other nations turned it down,
might come up again at the con-
ference.

Necessity Of Religion
In Field Of Psychiatry
Stressed byCU Priest

Religion must be introduced
into the field of psychiatry to
help patients achieve a goal of
moral responsibility, the Rev.
Dom James Jerome Hayden,
M. D., of Catholic University, de-
clared yesterday.
THE need for an appreciation
of religions role in psychiatric
care is evident from the fact
that the patient must live with
his religious principles after he
has left the psychiatrist's care
Father Hayden explained.
The priest spoke at the clos
ing session of the National Con-
ference of Catholic Charities 40th
anniversary convention. The
meeting, held in the Statler Ho-

more than 1900 delegates present.
