Brushes Aside Questions
BY the A.aesisssd Prsss

PARIS. May ls-crooner Frank
Sinatrs arrived in Paris by plane
from Spain yesterday and irritably
brushed aside questions about his
reported romance with Actress Ava
Gardner.
i haven't the slightest idea
when I'll see Ava again." he told
reporters at the airport. He had
seen Miss Gardner in Spain. where
she is making a movie with Mario
Cabre. a Spanish bullfighter. Even
while Sinatra and Miss Gardner
were together Cabre was proclaim
ing his great love for the actress.
Asked about the possibility Of
another meeting with Miss Gard
ner in Paris. Sinatra replied: "Ava
never mentioned to me whether
she is coming to Paris or not"
Sinatra said he would stay in
Paris for about q week and then
fly to the United States to resume
work in radio and the films.

Official Here Denies Plan
Would Merqe West Forces

A high administration official
denied today that the Atlantic
pact defense system being worked
out in London envisaged any
actual merger of this country's
armed forces with those of the
other members.
THE plan calls for no actual
surrender of sovereignty on the
part Of any power" he declared.
Rather. he said. the pooling of
forces about which London dis
patches spoke would be an at
tempt to make certain that there
would be no duplication of effort
on the part of any of the 12 ma
tions involved.
Thus, a nation which is pre-
dominately a land power would
concentrate on that field of war
fare and fit it's capabilities into an
overall pattern.
Since most of the European
countries in the North Atlantic
treaty framework are land powers,
1t could then be assumed that they
would concentrate on this type of
warfare, leaving sea and air ac-
tivitieS to the United States and
Great Britain.

Army Guarded Aide
After Threat in Finance
Case, Karst Reveals

A House subcommittee chair
man investigating alleged irregu.
laritieS at the Army Finance Gen.
ter in st. Louis said today the
Army had provided protection for
a woman employe who received
an anonymous letter threatening
death If she testified.
Representative Karst, Demo-
crat. of Missouri. head Of a Civil
Service Subcommittee looking
into civilian aspects Of the CEN
ter'S operation. disclosed that the
letter was sent almost two years
ago to Miss Sally Dewey, now an
employe in the adjutant generals
branch Office in st. Louis.
Miss Dewey's name came up
yesterday at the start of public
hearings by a House armed serv-
ices subcommittee. Karl Bendet-
sen. assistant to the Secretary Of
the Army, and Maj. Gen. Louis
A. Craig. Army inspector general.
told the committee they have been
looking into liz specific charges
she submitted concerning the
center.
They declared they found no
evidence of fraud in overpayments
of $157 million by the center to
Servicemen'S dependentS.
Miss Dewey is scheduled to
testify. probably next week, before
the Armed Services Subcommittee
headed by Representative Kilday,
Democrat, of Texas.
Mr.. Karst said there have
been reports that Miss Dewey
worked closely with Army investi-
gators in bringing alleged ir-
regularities to their attention. He
declared that, so far as his sub
committee investigation was con-
cerned, Miss Dewey's charges in
volve a comparatively small pro-
portion Of the total number of
complaints under scrutiny.
Miss Dewey did not appear
before the Civil Service subcom-
mittee and has not been called
for any future session. Mr.. Karst
added.
"The only reason I mention the
anonymous letter." Mr.. Karst ex-
planned. is because understood
the Army people thought it was
sufficiently important for them to
provide a bodyguard for Miss
Dewey during the last few months
of her employment at the Army
Finance Center. She received the
letter about six months before she
went over to the other agency"

months in prison.
A Federal court jury deliberated
80 minutes before convicting the
head Of Washington Art Galleries.
Inc. who lives in Bethesda. Md,
The defense declined to offer any
testimony. but Bell was quoted by
a Government witness as having
said. Everything ] touch turns to
gold" He was accused Of evading
$55.Sl3 in taxes.
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut i'm
posed the penalties.
Norman p. Ramsey. assistant
United States prosecutor. argued
that Bells own income tax returns
proved there was an evasion. Mr.
Ramsey said Bell listed his aged
mother as dependent on returns
but later admitted she gave him
81 900 every year as an anniversary
present. and $1,000 each birthday
for each Of his three children.
The Government contended that
Bells worth at the end Of l942 was
$50. 900. but was $2ls. 900 in l945
The income reported for those
three years was $43.6e9 but the
Government argued it should have
been $l36,l54.
G. c. A. Anderson. Bells attor.

Three Western Allies
May Protest Arming
OF East Reich Police
by the Assoeioted Press

The United States, Britain and
France may send separate pro-
tests to Moscow soon denouncing
Russia's move in arming an East
German police force.
Diplomatic officials said today
the way was cleared for such pro-
tests over the week end by the
Western Big Three Foreign Min
listers meeting in London.
Secretary of State Acheson, it
was learned, unsuccessfully urged
a Joint American British French
protest to call world attention to
what he believes is creation of an
"illegal" Russian puppet army in
Eastern Germany.
Reaction Feared.
British Foreign Minister Bevin
and French Foreign Minister
Schuman objected to taking joint
action. saying it might create fear
In Western Germany and arouse q
demand for (A) security guaran-
tees which the West is unprepared
to give and (B) equal ornaments
for the smaller West German
police force.
Officials said it was decided after
much discussion to refer the mat
ter to the Western Ambassadors
In Moscow. with the understanding
they can issue separate but par
allel notes to the Russian Foreign
Office within the next few weeks.
Reliable information indicates
the Russians are equipping about
10000 East Germans with tanks,
arn1ored equipment and other
weapons associated with an army
rather than a police force.
C0nscription Rumored.
State Department experts fear
this may be an effort to create
the nucleus Of a full-fledged, Rus
sian-backed army. Kurt Schu-
macher, West German Socialist
leader. who is we'll informed on
conditions in East Germany, said
in a speech in Berlin Monday
that the Soviets intend to build |
an army Of $50, 900 to 400, 900 men
in their occupation zone.
State Department officials also
have heard this report. In addi-
ton. they have picked up rumors
that Russia may institute con-
scription in an effort to get the
needed manpower for a force of |
this size.

is for the West to strike eastward

One American delegate to the

"very satisfactory" Apparently it
was o diplomatic victory for Sec

essary to save the West.
The Americans want the new
organization to inspire confidence
in their European Allies and to
encourage them toward greater
efforts in industrial production
and economic recovery.
Nations Will Specialize.
There was general agreement
that in forming the Allied armed
forces. duplication of effort must
be avoided. In the past each ma
tion has tried to provide all the
essentials Of armed defense for
itself, even though some branches
were insufficient or inefficient.
Informed sources indicated
there now is to be more specializa-
ton.
They were silent about what as

There has been considerable spec
ulation that continental coun-
tries would be asked to specialize
in ground forces, leaving the
naval and air defenses largely to
Great Britain and the United

Modern Marriage
Ministerial Unions View Is Backed 1.
Opposing Murdock Moral Reforms
BY Dr.. Paul Popenoe

If this change comes in three
generations, Mr.. c., it will be be-
cause our civilization is going te
pieces.
Another scientist. J. D. Unwin
made a survey of all the civiliza-
tions of which there is any ade-
quate record He found. in every
case, that the highest stage of a
civilization was accompanied by
the strongest family life and the
least sexual experimentation be-
fore marriage. When a civilization
began to fail, its family life
loosened up.
Our own civilization here in
North America is not in too good
shape, Mr.. c. You know that. We
can save it not by following the
path DR.. Murdock recommends,
that has led to the decay of all
other civilizations, but by follow
ing the path which history points
out as leading to safety-namely,
a strong family life and less sexual
experimentation.
There's too much of this expert
mentation already. It is causing
many divorces. DR.. Murdock thinks
if a little is harmful, more could
be helpful. Evidently he hasn't
had any experience in dealing
with broken homes and failures in
marriage.

Sex experimentation before
MARRIAGES. it scientific? That
question worries the ministerial
union.
1--WE were much concerned" ex-
plains the Rev. Mr.. C. among
others, "by statements which DR.
George P. Murdock, head of the
anthropology department at Yale
University, made in recent meet
ing in New York City. He urged
the Protestant clergy to work for
what he called a reform of our
laws and customs, in order to per-
NIT sexual experimentation before
marriage. He said it would remove
major cause for divorce.
That's not the way we feel, in
this little city where I live, DR..
Popenoe. How about it? Is there
a conflict here between science
and morality?"
True science and true morality
can never be in conflict, Mr.. C..
If they seem to be in opposition,
it's only because one or the other
has gone astray. In this case, DR..
Murdoch has gone astray. His
work has been mainly with less
civilized peoples, and he has lost
the broad view of human evolu-
ton, which he needs.
I read newspaper accounts of
his statement, too, Mr.. c. He said
this change would come in three
generations anyway. He wanted
the clergy to speed it up.
