| the "admirals' revolt" against
administration policy three years
ago. There have been strong indi-
cations in recent weeks that the
Ifeud between the Air Force and
Navy-long-range bombers versus
carrier-based aviation-might boil
to the surface again.
If the nominations settled the
Navy question at home, it left un-
settled the international naval
Iperplexity.
Admiral Fechteler had been
picked as the American admiral
who would be named supreme
commander of allied forces in the
North Atlantic ocean region under
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization. Although Great Britain
and the other NATO members
were repeatedly in accord when
it was first decided on last winter,
the news brought a violent re-
action in London.
Thought Britain Was Ignored.
Some leading Englishmen, in
GLIDING Winston Churchill, thought
Britain's traditional position as a
great seapower was being ignored.
The objection did not appear to
be to Admiral Fechteler nor to any
American officer personally, but
lay only in failure to give the post
to Britain. No formal concur
renee of the appointment was ever
made by NATO and now there ap-
pears to be some disposition to let
the whole matter drop.
Admiral Sherman before his
death told a reporter that the
issue was not worth the contro-
verSy it engendered.
This Government is not ex-
pected to bring up the matter
again, although in the negotia-
tons under that portion of the
NATO pact creating a separate
North Atlantic Ocean area, the
United States is committed to pro-
viding a supreme commander.

The new pamphlet was pub
liShed by the propaganda and ag-
itation department of the Central
Committee of the All-Soviet Com
munist Party.
TRANSACTIONS of the booklet are
being made by Russian experts for
Radio Free Europe, the American
radio organization supported by
private funds and including Gen.
Eisenhower among its directors.
Radio Free Europe experts say
that the ideas expressed in Notes
for AgitatorS will reach hundreds
of millions of people throughout
the world while the kindly senti-
ments Of News will be read only
by the English-speaking people.
Copies of News reaching here
are being studied closely. That
they are designed to make the
United States and Britain believe
Russia wants peace and friend
ship there can be no doubt.
Why Russia wishes to create
this impression remains a matter
iof speculation. The most gen.
orally accepted is that the Soviets
would like to see the big defense
programs curtailed.
Sample Magazine Comment.
The English-language magazine
makes such statements as these:
There are no serious grounds
for a clash between the national
interests of the Soviet Union and
those of Britain or the United
States. Still less are there grounds
for any clash between these coun-
tries and the Peoples Democra-
c1es. 1t is certain that the latter
Fundamentally desire to see trade
and all other relations prospecting
between them and Britain and
America and it is assuredly not
any design on their part to alter
or influence the internal regimes
in Britain or America that is pre-
venting this"
In another article entitled "Why
I believe in Soviet-American
friendship" the following conclu-
sion is reached:
Difference of political system
and government can be no bar
to the development of friendly
cooperation to the advantage of
both countries"

was filed.
The report of the Hoey sub
committee-a unit Of the Senate
Expenditures Committee - dealt
sharply with Philadelphia news
paperman and two Greek Catholic
priests who testified two weeks ago
that Mason fleeced them of more
than 100000.
The report said that in fairness
to the three "it must be pointed
out that each of these men are
foreign-born and may have been
misled, partially due to their lack
of understanding and interpreta-
ton of the English language.
But it added that "the subcom-
mittee cannot condone the actions
of these persons"
The report reiterated that Ma
son has a criminal record dating
from 1922.
In his speech today, Senator
Hoey said:
1.-THE fact disclosed by the SUBJ
committee have been turned over
to the Department of Justice and
today Federal grand jury in
Washington is being presented
with the facts in this case"
Senator Hoey gave no indica-
ton that action is contemplated
against any of those he said Ma
son had swindled.
Fathers Maxim Markiw and
Peter Hewko of the Order of st.
Basil in New York testified they
paid Mason up to 5000, 900 for
leases they never got. They said
they hoped to gain enough money
to build a school and to enlarge
their church and a summer camp
for poor children.
Mason denied receiving more
than 100000. He said that of the
amount he received and relaxed
to Eungart, the latter repaid him
about Is per cent.
Pigment of Imagination"
In its report the committee said
ut can only be concluded from the
evidence that Eungart is a Pigment
of Mason'S imagination"
The witnesses the committee
heard testified Mason told them
the money they paid him would be
used as sewer money" to bride
public officials In a position to
lease Government buildings.
Mason told the subcommittee he
had a bIioe scheme together with
Eungart.
The committees report said
however. that Mason lis not
known to have contacted any Gov

The report said further:

chief since Admiral Sherman's
death from a heart attack.
Vice Admiral Donald P. Duncan,
now deputy Chief of Naval Oper-
atoms, was nominated to succeed
Admiral Mccormick. His new post
will advance him to four star rank.
Admiral Fechteler appeared at
the office of Secretary of the Navy
Dan Kimball yesterday.
Calls On Mr.. Truman.
With Mr.. Kimball, who only
this week took over the Navy Sec
retaryship from Francis P. Mat
thewS, who has become AmbaS-
Sador to Ireland, the admiral called
on Mr.. Truman at the White
House and the nomination was
then announced.
Admiral Fechteler was born in
San Rafael, Calf, the son of
Admiral Augustus F. Fechteler,
and was graduated from Annapolis
in 1916. Before going to the
academy he attended western
High School here and his home
here now is listed at 1900 E street
NV.
The new Navy chiefs manner is
informal, his speech hearty and
sometimes salty.
Like Admiral Sherman before
him, his desire to be a naval
officer goes back to his early child
hood. II have no recollection of
my boyhood when I did not want
to be in the Navy" he says.
Visited Ships With Father.
When small boy he went
aboard ships with his father.
He is well liked and has a repu-
tation for cutting through red
tape.
For the first five years after his
graduation, Admiral Fechteler
served aboard battleship. AS he
rose through successive ranks he
had long tours of duty aboard
destroyers and cruisers, then in
1913 was assigned to command
the battleship Indiana.
But he really made his repu-
tation in command of an am
phibiouS group operating against
Japanese-held islands in the
Pacific during World War II. His
command was hard working and
thorough.
He came to Washington in early
1915 as assistant chief of naval
personnel, but 1916 found him in
command of Atlantic Fleet battle
ships and cruisers. He succeeded
Admiral w. H. P. Blandy as At
lantic commander in January,
1850.
His experience has been wide
spread, though it has not in

Church of God Fire Controlled Quickly
 By Fire Association

The local Fire Association sprang into immediate action at about 5:30 pm. last Friday night when fire broke out in the par sonage section of the Church of God.
 The fire started in the second floor apartment occupied by Rev. and Mrs. George Geiwitz' son. in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Walter Briggs. Mrs. Briggs went up stairs to turn off the kerosene heater and it blew up while she was there. Rev. Gei- witz phoned for the Fire Asso- citation, and help arrived even be- fore the minister could get his fire extinguishers into action Smoke poured out of the second story windows as about 20 to 25 local people rushed to answer the call of the fire siren. Two trucks went to the scene.
 Damage was confined to the two-room apartment, but most of the contents of these rooms was lost before the blaze was under control. Ray Lancaster appraised the loss to the building, which vas insured. The personal effects of the occupants were total loss, h-'+ these were uninsured.

SCHOOL BOARD ACTS TO REP0SSESS LAND

The School Board asserted its rights to that part of Federal Ave. which touches on school property and divides the present play ground from land owned by the School District on the other side of the road.
 Federal Ave between Coop Ave. and Airport Road is private property, the School Board stat ed. People who travel over it are trespasslng. During certain pc rods ot the probably while school is in session-the road will be blocked off from public use. This action was taken in order to permit use of the land on the side of the road as an extension Of the school playground.
 School Site Undecided
 The School Boards action in utilizing this property as a school playground brought new atten- ton to the probability that it will not be used as the site of the new high school as originally pro- posed. Other sites being consid- cred by the Board include 10-20 acre plot in the northeast corner of John Bugge's property, part of the present Fair Ground, and the prJpe.sy sacross from the Fair Grounds on the east side of the Springer Road. The Board has gone on record as favoring the Bugge site, but negotiations are still in the dickering stage. The School Board has made no offer and John Bugge has set no price.
 Still Dickering
 Dickering is still going on be- tween the School Board and the MVFCA Board of Directors over the gymnasium. The Coop Board has tentatively set $20,000 and $25,000 as possible prices, each with a lot of ifs, ands, and butts attached at this stage of the bar gaining. Three years ago, Supt. Zahradnicek said, the gymnasium could have been purchased by the school for about $15,O00, but prices have gone up, even though the gym floor has been going down.

PTA PLANS ANNUAL FAMILY XMAS CAROL CONTEST DEC, I8

Plans for the Palmer PTA's second annual Family Christmas Carol contest were completed on Tuesday night with the meeting of the executive committee.
 The contest will be held on the regular PTA night, Tuesday De- cember IS, in the school gymna- sium. The program chairman, Mrs. Charles Schaefer, announced that the first prize will be the same as last year, a big family sized turkey for the winners Christmas dinner. The Palmer School faculty will again act as judges, but the teachers insisted that their official duties not pre- clude their doing little singing themselves. Judging will be done on two points: family participa- tion and quality.
 Families entering the contest were asked to fill out entry blanks sent home by school chil- dren this week. Each family en- tering will sing one Christmas carol.
 Several surprisingly fine voices were discovered through the car ol contest last year, and the PTA executive committee hopes that last years entries inspired many more families to enter the con- test this year.
