Barring an unexpected hitch
the war between the United States
and Germany, now almost 10
years old, will come closer to
termination today.
A resolution formally ending
the war more than six years after

first order of business on the
days House docket.
There was no known major op-
position.
The termination" won't be-

Truman requested early this

rather than an ordinary souvenir
was made first by Korean Consul
General David Namkoong in New
York. Mr.. Namkoong learned
about the rug from a newspaper
story published in Pueblo.
The consul informed the EN-
bassy here, and Embassy officials
now have sent an inquiry 10 Of
|flcialS at Seoul to learn whether
such a rug is missing.
The United States Government
may be asked to launch an inves-
tigation if Mr.. Namkoong's hunch
proves correct, a spokesman said.
Sergt. Giltner, 27, has been in
Korea only since March. His
father manages a wholesale gro
Gerry concern in Pueblo.
Mrs. Giltner said the sergeant
wrote about the rug:
eThe cook who sold it to me
said it was worth at least $25, ,00O
and 1t came from the Chang Duk
Palace in Seoul"
The palace, the Embassy
spokesman said. was the store
house for most of Korea's ma
tional art treasures before the
North Korean invasion.
Queen May Have Owned 1t.
The rug could be one of many
costly gifts presented to Korean
rulers in the days of the mon
archy. officials said.
Mr.. Namkoong believed it was
displayed in the residence of the
late Queen Min. who was as
by the Japanese prior
to their annexation of Korea
about 40 years ago.
Seoul has been in Communist
hands twice since the war began,
North Koreans were believed to
have INDUCED in some looting
The rug could have made its way
into the hands of an unscrupulous
dealer.
Didn't Realize Value.
Mrs. Giltner said she did not
know what her son paid for. 1t
or what duty had been paid.
None of us realized it was so
valuable" she said.
But she added that she would
never ask 100000" for it.
The Defense Department said
it has had no request for an in
vestigation.
The embassy said the Korean
Government would expect to pay
for its return, however, if it turns
out to be what is suspected.

Democrats Act 10 Lift
Limit on U. 5. Funds fol-
World Organizations
By Robert K. Welsh

Successful in a House fight to
save Secretary of State Acheson's
salary, administration Democrats
hoped today that the Senate
would force removal of a House
imposed limitation on this coun-
ltry's contributions to international
organizations.
AS passed by the House, 245 to
191, after almost seven hours of
often bitter wrangling yesterday.

Judiciary appropriations bill goes

81 .045, ,775, 900. That is about S.

preparations Committee recon-
mended and $212 million under
original requests by the President
Republicans scored major gains
In their drive to curb State De-
partment spending and functions.
But they lost two Of their main
|efforts-to deduct Mr.. Acheson's S
salary from the budget and to lop
another SIS million from Voice
of America funds.
Limit on U. N. Funds.
BY q standing. unrecorded vote,
the House adopted, 157 to 137, an
amendment offered by Represent
ative Williams, Democrat, Of Mis-
sissippi, to limit United States
contributions to operational ex-
penses Of the United Nations and
similar international organiza-
tions to one-third Of the total
cost of such operations.
Democratic leaders said today
they believe the Senate would re-
fuse to adopt such an amendment,
or that the restriction would be
thrown out later by Senate House
conferees.
Another important victory for
House Republicans, with the aid
Of some Southern Democrats, was
adoption Of an amendment ban
ming filling Of more than Is per
cent Of vacancies in the depart
ments covered in the bill. A SINH
lar amendment was put in several
previous departmental supply bills
in recent weeks.
The climactic battle came on
a Republican-sponsored amend
ment introduced by Representa-
tive Phillips Of California. 1t
would have banned payment of
salary to q department head who,
within the five years previous to
his appointment, was affiliated
with a professional flrm that rep
resented any foreign government.
Acheson Backed, LII to 81.
Democrats charged, and most
Republicans openly conceded, that
the amendment was aimed at Mr..
Acheson. It would not have
ousted him from office, but it
might have forced his removal or
resignation.
The amendment lost, It'll to 81.
About 80 Republicans stood up to
be counted with the Democrats.
The total vote Of 252, however,
showed that more than 1870 House
members did not vote.

STATE PARK Scout Circus
VANDALISM Is Postponed
BIG HEADACHE To June IS

Vandalism, the big headache
facing the Ohio Division of Parks
during the summer months, has
started early in the state parks
this year and has prompted State
Parks Management Supervisor,
Arthur E. Day, to issue a mind
your Manners" plea to Ohioans.
Don't be human saprophyte!"
Day urges.
''You can enjoy Ohio's park
areas without being a destructive
flower picker, tree and shrub
tranSplanter or a knife welding
souvenir hunter"
Day lists the top parks enemies
in the following order:
l. The visitor who insists on
picking or transplanting flowers,
small trees and shrubs.
2. The souvenir hunter, who
peels strips of bark from trees
or takes sizable chips from stone
work.
8. The minor violator, who
thinks garbage cans were made to
miss, or breaks bottles, cuts twigs
for wiener roastS, drives over
guard rails and builds fires in
restricted areas.
Then, too, there is the chap
who hogs the firewood. He burns
up all of the available supply
and then sometimes finishes up
with the park benches and picnic
tables, and the fellow who, al
though not destructive is almost
as bad, hogs the fireplaces and
picnic tables.
Day comedies that the destruc.
tion of state park property is
not always malicious, but he points
out that the cumulative effect of
many thoughtless minor violations
of good park use can cause great
concern and considerable epense.

Guarding Safety Of Craft In Huge Restricted EOD Lake
Firing Area Is Lonesome Task For Erie Gardens Man

Off duty, Control Tower Oper-
tor George Howton of Erie Or
dnance Depot, is an ordinary five
foot nine guy.
On duty, he assumes the stature
of a 100 foot giant with mul-
tiple eyes, ears and voices.
From his glassed in, lofty perch,
Howton has unobstructed vision of
sky, water, and land, and four
completely different communica-
ton systems. A fifth one is to
be installed shortly.
In spite of these assisting eyes,
ears, and voices, the observation
tower job remains the lonesomest
on the post.
The observation tower is one of
the closely knit, precautionary
measures employed by the post in
safeguarding unwary boats or air
craft that venture into the re-
Stricted lake area during the firing
of big guns or Erie's mile long
proof front. Boats patrol the
boundaries of the lake range dur
,ng the navigation season, and
radar system operates on the fir
ing line to detect the presence of
planes in the danger air area.
It's 127 steps up to the control
tower, and Howton goes UP in the
morning, and generally stay
through the eight, and frequently
nine, hour shift.
His communication system in
clude an air-to-ground radio for
talking to bomber crews on Straf-
ing missions, an intercom for COM
municating with the radar outfit,
an radio for contracting patrol
boats and post guard patrol car,
and telephone for direct COM
munication with firing line crews.
1t is planned to install short
wave radio for receiving weather
reports and contracting Coast
Guard boats in the area.
The ten by ten tower room is
busy place and noisy one. One
OR the other of the communica-
ton systems is always cracking
and emitting messages, or the sir
en- is wailing the all clear signal
for gun crews.
Yes, it's lonely, and Howton
finds time on his hands.
Both of these problems, Howton
has whipped, to some extent, at
least, by "fixin' up" the tower
room, and materially improving its
appearance and functional capac-
lty.
He has constructed built-in shell
wing for radio equipment, small
cupboards for supplies, and
hinged desk for clerical work. He
obtained lake and aerial maps,
which he had framed and hung
in the little available wall space
between windows, increasing the
efficiency of the control tower
operation. He turned electrician
long enough to coordinate the
siren and signel light so the fir

Restrictions On Future Usage Of Gas
Units For Heating Explained By Howerth

The restrictions on the use of
natural gas for heating of homes,
In the area served by The Ohio
Fuel Gas Company, are for the
protection of the company's pre-

Howerth, local manager, empha-

Under an order of the Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio, the

Intent for conversion from other
fuels, with priority in conversion
being given hardship cases.
Howerth said that the Notices

that number approximately $500
