Leopold Won't Agree
To Stay Out Of Belgium
BY the Associoted Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium. April 25.-
King Leopold III refused today to
promise that he would stay away
from Belgium during a period in
which the power would be dele
gated to his son, Prince Baudouin.
The Kings refusal was con-
tanned in letter addressed to the
Premier designate, Paul van Zee
land. who flew to Geneva, Switzer-
land, yesterday to confer with the
exiled monarch. Mr.. van iceland
talked with the King for six hours
and released Leopold's statement
on his return to- Brussels this
morning.
The Socialists have demanded
that in a compromise arrange
ment Leopold remain out of this
country during the time 19-year-
old Prince Baudouin assumed
power.
The King said: "Any possibility
for me to enter now, as a condi-
ton of my return, into an en-
gagement to leave Belgium even
temporarily after the delegation
OF my prerogatives to the heir
apparent, is excluded"
However, Leopold promised to
put into effect his proposal to
abandon his powers temporarily
to his son.

low some of it's neighboring indus
trialized States like Maryland and
North Carolina, he said.
In his annual report retiring
President Siddons disclosed that
membership in the trade group
still remains high, being over
5000. He spoke of the sue
cess of the annual midwinter din
ner. held several weeks ago and
touched on various other activities
of the trade group.
Bond Sale Support Asked.
E. c. BGltz. chairman of the
District Savings Bond Division.
urged the membership to give sup
port to the current bond drive.
Joseph C. McGarraghy, chairman
OF the Greater National Capital
Committee. discussed the current
activities of that trade board unit,
telling of the many conventions
and vacation visitors coming to
the city. He urged financial sup
port of the GNCC by members,
since a new campaign to attract
visitors is about to start.
Clark G. Diamond, campaign
chairman for GNCC, said the
group needs $4,000 for the next
fiscal year and that it is desirable
to raise it within the next 30 days.
Louis F. Bohraus of the River

HONOLULU. April 25.-Loss of
Hainan Island to the Chinese
Communists shows that the re-
ported resurgence of the Nation
alists was largely an illusion.
1t also means that another OBJ
stacle to the Communist advance
into Southeast Asia-Indo-C China,
Thailand. Burma, Malaga and In
donesla-has been cleared.
Hainan is on the ocean flank of
1ndo- China. where communism al
ready is feeding the fire of another
Asian revolution.
Lacked Air Cover, Navy.
The Nationalist defeat on Hal
nan has another doleful meaning
to the non-Communist areas of
the Far East: The Reds appear to
have overcome to a considerable
extent their greatest military
weakness. Previously their efforts
to cross water against an enemy
have been unsuccessful and costly.
They put troops ashore on
Hainan, held beaches and REIN
forced them. and did it without
either air cover or a navy, both
Of which the Nationalist used
against them.
Hainan, of course, is only 10
miles from the nearest mainland,
but the Reds say their invasion
f1otillas traversed 80 miles of sea
to reach their chosen beaches. The
question Immediately arises: can
the final Nationalist refuge of
Formosa long remain invulnerable
across 100 miles of water?
May Be Saving Air Force.
1t is known that the Reds have
an air force. but they did not use
1t against Hainan. This suggests
they could be saving it for the big
push on Formosa, and that the
Formosa campaign may not be far
away.
Hainan also illustrates that the
Communist armies are still effec-
tive despite the many troubles the
Reds are having with guerrillas,
famine and general bad times.
The NationalistS still seem unable
even to slow them down much.
The moral effect on what re-
mains of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's Nationalists will be
profound. Inevitably fear and un-
certainty will increase on Formosa,
where Chang already has had to
ferret out pro-Reds high within
his own ranks.

Good Deed Costs
Angler $3.50 as
He Loses Suit

The one good deed performed by
Paul Bennett while fishing off
Hains Point may have deserved
another, but it brought nothing
but grief for the angler.
Mr.. Bennett, of the 1900 block
of E street NE. lost a suit in Mu-
nicipal Court yesterday for $3.50,
the cost of rod and reel which
he said was snagged by a boat
while he was fishing for herring
April 8.
Judge Almond w. Scott, in dis
missing the suit against Edward
P. Whelen, of the 900 block of
Maryland avenue S.W., operator
of the boat, ruled Mr.. Bennett had
shown "contributory negligence"
when he left his fishing pole un-
attended to warn another angler
to keep his line clear of passing
boats.

Federal Bar Group
To Help AeenciesCurb
InfiItraiion by Reds

The Federal Bar Association
went forward today with a "Spe-
cial obligation" to help protect
Government agencies against IN
filtration by Communists or others
subject to Soviet direction.
The organization Of lawyers in
the Government service adopted
q resolution to that effect at the
close Of its one-day annual meet
ing yesterday in the Hotel Stsuer.
It also indorsed the proposed
genocide convention and urged
Senate ratification with the un-
derstanding" proposed by a Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee.
Warned by McGrath.
Attorney General McGrath, in
an address introducing President
Truman at the associations BAN
quet last night. cautioned that the
democratic concept Of the rights
of the individual is threatened not
merely by foreign dictators but by
false PHILOSOPHERS and enemies
from within"
To-day the whole mechanics Of
human government are underGo-
ing examination, Mr.. Nc.
Grath said. "Thoughtful people
everywhere wonder whether de-
Imocracy can bring peace and
security to troubled and dis
tressed world. There are some
who believe that democracy is
decadent. Our workable democ-
racy is proof of the fallacy OF this
assertion"
Cites Responsibility.
The Attorney General declared
that any government is doomed
| If it fails to maintain law and
order and protect the rights of
citizens. He urged Government
lawyers to live UP to their re-
sponsibility of taking an effective
part in upholding and safeguard
ing rights and liberties of indi-
viduals and defending the majesty
of the law"

assistant to the Attorney General.

ton.
Earlier yesterday Solicitor Gen.
eral Philip B. Perlman suggested
that lawyers who attempt to de
stroy respect for the courts should
be diSbarred OF suspended from

cratic safeguards Of the loyalty
program"
Mr.. Truman made clear again
that he will not disclose confiden-
tial loyalty files of Government
employees. He declared he would
not weaken the FBI. destroy the
loyalty program or contribute to
any attempt to try all loyalty
cases over again in newspaper
headlines.
At the same time he described
the Government personnel as the
most loyal civil service in the
world" He conceded that, in ar
organization as large as the United
States Government. there may be
a few bad individuals. There will
be no let-down in "vigilant ef-
forts to protect the security of the
Government" he announced.
Gestapo Methods Avoided.
1--WE are not going to transform
our fine FBI into a Gestapo-like
secret police. That is what some
people would like to do. We are
not going to try to control what
our people read and say and think
We are not going to turn the
United States into a right-wing
totalitarian country in order to
deal with a left-wing totalitarian
threat"
Insisting that mot single per-
son who has been adjudged to be
a Communist or otherwise dis
loyal remains on the Government
payroll today" Mr.. Truman urged
Americans to recognize the threat
to the United States through the
spread of Communist aggression
in other countries.
THE greatest threat" he said
comes from Communist imperial
ism aboard, where the center OF
its military and economic strength
lies. The real danger is that
communism might overrun other
free nations and thus strengthen
itself for an ultimate attack
against u.s."
Cites Different Concept.
Without mentioning Russia by
name. he told the association OF
lawyers In the Federal service
that the American concept OF
democratic justice differs funca-
mentally from that of totalitarian
systems.
There is in the world today q
tyrannical force which does not
recognize justice as we know it,
he declared. at is force which
crushes the minds and bodies OF
those under its control and seeks
to enlarge itself by aggression and
by false promises of freedom and
economic security. .......

There were accounts of isolated
clashes between Red irregulars
and Nationalist troops.
Meanwhile, Red Gen. Lin
Piao poured more men and
heavy weapons across the 10
mile Hainan Strait, said Chi
nese press reports in Hong
Kong.
CThe Communists no longer
faced the dread fire of Nation
alist air and surface craft in

Nationalist hopes of defending
the island, was gone.

The suddenness of the National
list collapse provoked gloom on
Formosa. For one thing, it pre-
vents transfer of sorely needed
war material. Formosa itself may
be lighting Communist invaders
before the year is out.
Before that, however, an inva-
sion Of Chusan Island, 100 miles
southeast of Shanghai, appeared
likely. Chusan is a thorn in Rec
China's east coast. From it, the
NationalistS tightly blockade

negotiated no business with Gov
ernment agencies and had re-
ceived no fees between 1945 and
the date of the Senate's "f1ve-per-
center" inquiry last year.
The two final witnesses were
Attorney Benjamin Holstein and
Joseph Elvove, both of the Agri-
culture Department. Mr.. Holstein
returned to the stand with the
disputed documents and identified
them.
Jury Excused Briefly.
The defense then summoned
Mr.. Elvove, who testified that Mr.
Maloney had represented the
molasses company for time in
the quota case. After this teSti-
mony the defense rested and the
jury was excused to allow the
attorneys to offer suggestions as
to how the judge will instruct the
jury.
The first defense witness, after
the prosecution rested yesterday,
was a member of the seven-man
Senate subcommittee alleged to
have received four false answers
from Maragon while seeking to
learn last July % if he made his
living by peddling political in
fuence.
Tells of Maragon Visits.
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
North Dakota. testified Maragon
came to his Office four or five days
before the subcommittee hearing
to show him press clippings in
which Columnist Drew Pearson ac-
cused Maragon of taking large
fees along with other five per-
centers."
"Was he excited at the time?"
Mr., Goldstein asked.
II think he was excited" the
Senator said.
He added Maragon asked for a
chance to appear before the SUBJ
committee to give them the truth
of the matter. The Senator re-
ferred Maragon to William P
Rodgers, attorney for the investi-
gators. A hearing was then ar
ranged for Maragon.
Quizzed on Bank Accounts.
Previous witnesses had testified
however, that Maragon had been
questioned by subcommittee en-
ployes about his bank accounts
and financial affairs several times
before he visited the Senators S
Office.
One of four counts against Mar
agon was dropped yesterday on
recommendation of Mr.. Murray
Maragon had been accused of
lying when he said he had bor-
rowed $4,000 last spring from his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Hattie E
johnson of Salisbury, Md. The
court was told Mrs. johnson
is too i'll to testify.
At the same time, Judge Jen-
nings Bailey overruled motions to
dismiss each of the remaining
three counts, and upheld the
legality of the subcommittee. The
defense had contended there was
no showing that the 81st Con-
gress had authorized the SUBJ
committee.
Holds Evidence Conclusive"
Judge Bailey held the evidence
so far appears conclusive" that
Maragon had two bank accounts
during period when, it is
charged, he told Senators he had
only one.
The judge declined to dismiss
the count accusing Maragon of
lying when he told the Senators
he had negotiated no business
with Federal agencies and accepted
no fees between 1945 and the time
of the inquiry.

This is the golden jubilee year
of the American Institute of
Banking, an important factor in
employe-management relations in
the banking business and opera
tive in the field of adult educa-
ton. Many institute chapter Of
f1cers and senior banking officials
are broadening their contacts at
chapter dinners being held
throughout the country.
Norfolk, Baltimore, New York,
Richmond and Washington, in
order, have held chapter institute
dinners. Vice President Barkley
was guest speaker at Washington S
42d annual banquet last evening,
the largest in history, with reg
istration of 1,400. Hartwell Taylor,
national president of the Amer
lean Institute of Banking, and
many leaders in Government and
business were there.
Next June, the organization will
celebrate its 50th milestone at the
annual convention to be held in
Minneapolis. 1t was in Minneapo-
lis so years ago and Immediately
afterward in various other bank
ing centers, that the idea of a
pioneer group of bank clerks had
its beginning. The American
Bankers Association convention
in Richmond in 1900 authorized
$4,000 Ito inaugurate the Amer
lean Institute of Bank Clerks" and
this gave it the requisite financial
springboard.
Idea Took Hold.
To quote the record, there were
many gloomy forebodings as to
the impossibility of teaching new
ideas in a formal educational pro-
gram to people after they had
reached maturity, especially after
they had worked all day" How
ever, the idea took hold and grew
throughout the banks of the Ma
ton with a sound, sure and con-
stantly increasing momentum of
usefulness to both clerks and
banking institutions that en-
ployed them. In its study groups
were many of the Nations most
prominent bank officials of today,
awakened to the opportunities of
banking as a career.
AS its membership and scope
increased, bank officials, too, were
admitted to membership. In 1908.
the organization became the
