3 Democratic Leaders
Cold 10 Foreign Aid
Increase Next Year
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

Three Democratic Senators re-
acted with no enthusiasm today
to reports that the State Depart
ment may ask Congress early next
year for more foreign aid funds
for France. Britain and perhaps
other countries.
Congress will be pretty slow
in responding to requests for more
foreign aid" Senator Edwin C.
Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado
told a reporter. Then, turning
to the language of a Western cat
tleman. he added:
The weaving season is on and
we expect to hear the calves do
a lot of baWling. It's heart
breaking sound, but the time has
now arrived
Gillett, Maybank Agree.
Senators Gillette. Democrat, of
Iowa and Maybank. Democrat, of
South Carolina generally agreed.
State Department sources
earlier this week forecast an
urgent request from France for
prompt additional dollar aid and
indicated such a bid would be IA
vorably received by this Govern
ment. The amount France will
ask was estimated at from 5000
million to $400 million.
Great Britain, also troubled
with a dollar shortage. is also ex-
pected to submit a request for new
United States economic aid. and
State Department officials said
others of this country's European
Allies are also in financial diff
culties.
Before it adjourned in October,
Congress voted foreign aid pro-
gram totaling S7.3 billion, the
great bulk of it for arms aid. Con-
gress cut by almost $700 million
the administrations request for
economic aid funds.
Tax Boost Opposed.
Senator Maybank, chairman of
the Senate Banking Committee
and a member of the Appropria-
tions Committee, said:
Il don't know where they are
going to get additional foreign
economic aid without further in
jury to the United States taxpay-
ers. I am opposed to any increase
in appropriations which could
mean additional taxation"
Senator Gillette, a member of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
said any successful plea for more
foreign aid from Congress will
require solid and detailed facts
and skillful presentation

GUS other corporations. some Of
which are affiliated with or are

Seek Files Of 0usted
Air Force Officers Here

While a Metropolitan Police
scout car stood by in case of
difficulty, agents of the Chinese
Nationalist government yesterday
descended on the Offices of their
two deposed chief air officers here
to see about some records.
The missions of both police and
Chinese turned out to be COM
Ipletely peaceful.
The papers are sought as evi-

asked to order the two officers to

Gen Nov and Col. Hsiang were
dismissed from their posts last
August, but have refused to give
any accounting to their superiors

They went away appeased when
reassured by the officers counsel,
William A. Roberts, that the rec
Iords in question would not be dis

as "my idea of a copper's cop"
Commissioner Donohue said Maj
Murray was "the kind Of police
man other policemen will respect
I think he'll do a terrific job"
Commissioner Donohue said he
made the motion to choose In
spector Murray and Engineer
Commissioner Bernard L. Robin
son seconded it. Commissioner
Young then said he would make
it unanimous.
Informed Decision Near.
1t was presumably during the
vote taking that Commissioner
Donohue stuck his head out the
door of Commissioner Young S
Office long enough to tell the
crowd of waiting reporters that
the decision would be announced
in 10 minutes.
At 3:55 pm. smiling but nom
committal detective chief arrived
at the District Building and joined
the Commissioners. Five minutes
later, the press was called in for
the announcement.
In the midst of the press con-
ference, the Commissioners de-
cided to make the acting rank
effective at once.
DonOhue Changes Stand.
Commissioner Donohue said
later that an interim appoint
ment of chief-pending the out
come of the subcommittee investi-
gation-had been discussed but he
finally came to the conclusion that
1T would leave the Police Depart
ment in state of turmoil at a
time when morale was exceedingly
low" He said he had originally
favored a temporary appointment
but after listening to the other two
Commissioners, decided he was
wrong.
Meanwhile. at police headquar-
tiers. detectives and clerks, nor
Imally of duty earlier. waited in
the corridors for the decision.
AS soon as word got back that
Inspector Murray was the choice.
the sex squad put a large vase
of red and white carnations on
the new boss old desk.
An hour after the appointment
was announced, most of them de-
cided Inspector Murray would not
be returning to the Detective
Bureau. His Office door was locked.
The new chief came back, how
ever, to meet a barrage of tele-
phone calls that continued far
into the night. Among the ell
wishers were lawyers, judges. law
enforcement officers from other
agencies and the other candidates
for the job.

Coast Guard Rescues
10 Haitians in Leakinsl
Cutter Off Florida
by the Assocjcted Press

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 22-The cap-
tain and 18 creWmen OF the
Haitian cutter Toussaint Lower
ture were brought mere early by
the Coast Guard which rescued
them from their battered and
leaking craft about Is miles off
the Florida coast.
Three members Of the Haitian
ships crew were missing. but the
Coast Guard said it was believed
they had made shore, probably on
some beach south of of Miami.
The Haitian vessel was on its
way from Port-au-Prince to
Miami when it began leaking in
rough, heavy seas.
Its captain, Jack Salgado of
Port-au-Prince, said one of the
three missing men was Nicolas
Beaussejour, the ships executive
officer. Capt. Salgado said the
TousSaint L'Ouverture carried no
radio and that the executive Of
ficer set out with two crewmen
for the Florida shore to seek aid.
Flares led the Coast Guard to the
fstricken vessel.
A strong tide was running and
the men, in stout dinghy, we're
believed to have made land with
out much trouble.
Capt. Salgado said the Tous-
saint L'Ouyerture left Port-au-
Prince Monday and that for 48
hours took a rough pounding.
When the boat began shipping
water faster than the pumps could
take it out, he said. the men tried
bailing, but finally gave up and
signaled for help.
1t was then, he added, that
Beaussejour set out with the two
crewmen. Forty minutes later
the Coast Guard was at the scene,
off Fowey Lighthouse.

II Orphans Celebrate
Holiday, Still Hoping
To Remain Together
By the Assoeioied Press

LEONARD. Mich, Nov. ga
quiet sense of tragedy fingers over
the yellow frame house here this
Thanksgiving day.
This was to have been a happy
day-but it is not now.
The "a children and grand
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Moss were to have gathered at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murry
j. Moore here.
1t was to have been a family
occasion-with the laughter of
the 16 grandchildren. the CONVEX
sation of their parents. the smell
of good cooking sitting from the
kitchen.
But the plans have been
changed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore are dead,
killed November 10 in a traffic
accident that made orphans of
their II children.
Hope to Stay Together.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moss have moved
into the home to care for the
children, who hope to stay to-
gether in the big home their
parents bought just six weeks be-
fore their death.
They plan a turkey, with the
trimmings. provided by friends
and well-wishers. And Mrs. Moss
sees a little trouble there, partic-
ularly from some Of the younger
children.
Everybody wants drumstick." :"
she says.
The day, by contrast with what
was planned, will be sober affair,
although some relatives are ex-
pected to drop in and possibly
discuss the future.
$4,000 Raised So Far.
But it may not be as bleak as
things first looked. when it was
thought that the children might
have to be placed out for adop-
ton.
BY last count. nearly $4,000 had
been raised for the children, to
guarantee their future together.
Additional income may come from
social security payments.
Gerald, at Is the Oldest of the
II. and his 13-year-old sister Ann
came back from a New York tele-
vision snow appearance today
with wonderful news" Between
them they'd won $500 for answer
ing five questions correctly, and
they'd received promises of wash
ers. dryers, furniture, clothing,
money and other gifts.
Hope to Get Washer.
Before their appearance on the
show Gerald said he wanted to-
win enough to buy Ann a washer,
because, as the oldest girl, that was
nov her job"
Under a probate court order.
the children's uncles, Richard
Moss, and Arthur Mercure, have
been appointed guardians. They
will have custody of the fund COL
lected for the children, who today
celebrate Thanksgiving in the way
they wish-Still together.

TOKYO. Nov. 22.-Negotiators

1t was debate over 80 which had
United Nations and Communist
delegates shouting at each other
last summer at Kaesong.
The Reds insisted the shooting
stop along the 38th Parallel, old
political boundary between North
and South Korea. The U. N
command insisted it halt along the
fighting fronts.
The problem was turned over
to subcommittee. That left the
way clear for sub-delegates to
scrap all they wanted without
breaking down formal truce ses-
lSions.
The ub-delegates argued until
they appeared on the verge of
agreeing to a cease fire line along
the battle fronts.
At that moment. Chou En-lai,
foreign minister of Red China
again dragged out 38. He echoed
and Endorsed the truce proposals

time. Charges of corruption have
been leveled against the depart
ment. Senate District crime sub
committee has a police investiga-
ton underway and the department
recently was shaken by fight
over the financial questionaires
issued by the subcommittee.
The morale of the police is
low and public confidence has to
be restored" the acting chief de-
clared.
Plans Visit to Precincts.
To "reassure the men," the new
chief said he is thinking of going
around to all the precincts in the
near future.
II want to tell them that if
man is out there working and
makes an honest mistake, I'll go
along with him, but if he's dis
honest, there's no place for him
in the department."
On the score of gambling, he
said he definitely planned to do
something about it Immediately.
Il want to survey the situa-
tion." he explained. "and If any
changes are indicated. they will
be made"
This was an obvious reference
to the setup of the vice squad.
Although chief of detectives, Maj.
Murray had nothing to do with
gambling enforcement. That squad
was kept separate from the Detec-
tive Bureau and reported directly
to the superintendent.
Cooperation Promised.
Maj Murray also said he
wanted to work closely with the
United States Attorneys Office.
In the previous regime, Maj. Bar
rett and the then United States
Attorney George Morris Fay were
notoriously at odds, with police
accusing Prosecutors of not getting
convictions and prosecutors ac-
cusing police of not getting the
warrants that would make the
cases stand up in court. Both
agencies now have new men, since
Charles M. Irelan has succeeded
MI. Fay.
He said he would cooperate
with the FBI, with whom he has
worked closely in the past, and
with all other law enforcement
agencies. He also emphasized
that he would work with the
crime subcommittee
He received his financial ques-
tionnaire last Saturday-in the
third group issued by the SUBJ
committeeman will fill it out
as fast as possible, he told news
men.
The decision to appoint the de-
tective chief to the top job was

day of rumor and speculation.
