Court Reverses Self,
Gives Boy 10 Mother
Behind Iron Curtain
Life With Her Ruled
Preferable to Foster
Home in Free West
By the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept.
29.-The highest American court
in Germany reversed itself today
and decided an 11-year-old boy
is better off with his mother in
Communist Yugoslavia than with
his foster parents in "free enter
prise" Western Germany. It was
a 81 decision.
The boy is 11-year-old Ivan
PiHchik. He was adopted after
his father was murdered by the
Gestapo in 1912 and his mother
was sent to a Nazi concentration
camp. His foster father, Gustav
Sirsch, served in Hitler's elite
guard during the war.
A second hearing was held after
the Yugoslav government and
many German newspapers criti-
cized the court, saying it put
theology above human rights.
Chief Justice Stands Firm.
Chief Justice William Clark of
Princeton, N. j., who wrote the
first majority decision of the
United States High Commission
Court of Appeals, clung to the
view that the boy should remain
in West Germany because of
political and economic advan-
tages" But Associate Justice
Marc Robinson of Boston, Mass,
adopted the view of Associate JUS
tice Carl Fulgham of Glenwood
Springs. Colo, who argued that
to deny the mothers claim would
confirm the child kidnapping
campaign of the hated Nazi Helm
rich Himmler in occupied coun-
tries.
Mrs. Pavla Pirecnik, the mother,
faced her son for the first time
in about nine years last Monday.
She was overjoyed. The bewildered
lad clung to his foster parents,
who were sympathetic to the
mothers claim but would not
yield the boy until the CO. vt's
decision.
Chief Justice Clark { Id DIR.

and attorney for the mother:
"You have won your case in this
court. professor. I hope you can
justify your victory at the, judg-
ment seat before which we must
all finally appear"
Refers to Oats Case.
In a statement read to the
court, Justice Clark defended his
views. He refused to draw any
distinction between Yugoslav
communism, which is aligned
with the West, and the COM
munism of the Soviet Union and
its satellites.
He referred to William Oats.

John Cobb, British Racer, Killed
As Jet Speedboot Blows Up
Going 200 M.P.H.
In Craft Powered
With Plane Engine
By the Assoeioted Press

LOCH NESS. Scotland, Sept.
29.-British racing ace John Cobb
died today after his jet-propelled
speed boat Crusader blew up dur
ing an attempt on the world
hydroplane speed record.
The boat disintegrated in Loeb
Ness while travelling at an esti-
mated 200 miles an hour. Cobb
was picked out of the water still
alive but died few minutes later.
An eyewitness, Hotel Manager
G. E. Nicholson. said the boat
blew up as Cobb was, roaring
down the course toward the end
OF his first measured mile.
Another witness said the boat
appeared to slow down with a
series of bumps, there was puff
OF smoke-then nothing"
Holds Auto Records.
The 52-year-old London fur
broker and speed specialist holds
numerous automobile speed rec
ords. In 1947, he piloted a spe-
cially-built aluminium automobile
over the salt fats Of Utah at
better than 403 miles an hour, the
fastest ever travelled by man on
land.
Cobb's jet speedboat which he
had built for an attempt at the
world water speed record streaked
across Loeb Ness at 173 miles an
hour, September 10, despite buf-
feting gusts of wind.
The record is 1884 miles an
hour, set in 1851 by Stanley Sayres
Of Seattle, WASH, in his boat Miss
Slo-Mo-Shun.
Cobb, who formerly held the
world water speed record, had
been waiting for weeks to make
his new assault on the mark.
Il think conditions are well
nigh perfect" he told reporters
just before starting off on the
first of two scheduled runs.
Wife Hides Her Face.
Cobb had reported hitting
around 200 miles an hour during
a trial run in the Crusader on
September 10. He averaged 1876
miles on his official try, September
10, but only 161 on the second
run. Records are computed on
the average of two runs over the
measured course.
The 31-foot Crusader was the
latest Of Cobb's many racing ve-
hicles. Her jet engine was similar
to the ones that propel Britain's
jet-engined Comet airliners. At
top speed the Crusader just
skinned the water on her under
section and two floats. It cost
So, 900.
Mr.. Nicholson said the boat,
which had been bobbing up and
down, disappeared in a furry of
spray and disintegrated.
Mrs. Cobb was standing about
so yards from me watching. She
put up her hands to hide her face
and turned away" :,

new sewer tax, the subcommittee
pointed out that the burden of the
needed improvements should be
met by the Federal Government
by a combination of outright
grants and loans.
The subcommittee warned that
general increases in all taxes
might lead to downtown Wash
ington becoming blighted area
It declared:
"This committee feels that taxes
in the District are presently high
enough. The income tax compares
favorably with those imposed by
neighboring States and any fur
ther increase would tend to drive
citizens and business out of the
District
Suburbs Growth Cited.
The subcommittee made the
point that the only way to stop
The trend of both business and
residents moving to the suburbs
was to put through the capital
improvement program. But this
should be done without boosting
taxes any appreciable extent.
While the subcommittee does
recommend raising the water tax
Is per cent and imposing a sewer
tax, the bulk of the additional
funds needed should be provided
by the Federal Government, either
as an outright grant or a long
term intereSt-free loan.
This the subcommittee urged,
should be on a $3.50 basis. Half
the required amount would be an
outright grant. the other half
would be loaned at no interest for
a 50-year period.
The subcommittee report placed
the total Federal aid figure at
$165.6 million The full commit
tee figured the amount would be
$136.8 million in its final recon-
mendation. The final figure
would mean an outright grant of
1884 million. with an equal sum
to be loaned.
Rounding out the financing
would be $120 million, which the
group calculated might normally
be appropriated from regular
revenues for construction pur-
poses.

piled challenge from Gov. Steven.
son Of Illinois. the Democratic
presidential nominee, to bare the
status of his finances.
Gov. Stevenson made public
yesterday his income and tax
payments for the last 10 years.
A spokesman at Gen. Eisen-
hower'S headquarters said he did
not now know whether the gen.
eral would report his tax returns
for each year or whether it would
be a general financial statement.
The headquarters announce
ment gave no indication of exactly
when the statement would be re-
leased. A spokesman said he did
not expect it before the generals
departure tomorrow for a speaking
engagement in Columbia, S. C.
Statement by Secretary.
James E. Hagerty, the generals
press secretary, responded to nu-
merous queries from the press con-
corning the generals intentions
by issuing this statement:
"Since the general has not pre-
viously been In politics, and since
he has not had a political fund,
and does not have such a fund,
he has given little attention to the
stories in the papers in the last
few days regarding the relation
ship Of such funds to income tax
returns.
mot until Saturday did the gen.
eral have any press queries di-
rected to him concerning his finan-
cial situation.
Since there now seems to be a
public interest in his financial sit
he will get his records to-
gether, and I am sure he will make
a statement later on"
Wants Public Informed.
To queries as to whether the
forthcoming Statement" would be
a financial one, Hagerty said it
would.
He added that the public will
be informed ION his entire finan-
cial situation"
Asked whether the statement
would be general financial state
ment or whether it would show
his income and tax payments
for the last 10 years,
as Gov. Stevenson's statement did,
Mr.. Hagerty said he did not know.
Gen. Eisenhower, resigned from
active duty in the army, no longer
draws a military salary. He is on
leave as president Of Columbia
University.
Chief interest ii. his income has
centered around receipts from the
generals book, Crusade in Eur
ope." and taxes he paid on this
income.
Gen. Eisenhower received sew
eral hundred thousand dollars for
his book and was allowed to keep
three-fourths of it, paying only
Is per cent Of the taxes. The
ruling, by the Internal Revenue
Bureau. similar to others in like
cases, allowed the Is per cent tax
payment, because the general was
held to be operating outside his
usual field of activities when he

Mr.. Truman on other occasions
has hit at the Republican presiden-
tial candidate without definitely
pointing a finger at his target.
Today however. he dropped this
oblique approach, as he swung on

Fed Up" With G. o. P. Tactics.
Aides had said that President
Truman had become "fed up" with
Republican campaign tactics. and
would start doing some name
calling on his own accord on this
trip.
In bearing out this prediction,
Mr.. Truman spoke from prepared
text instead of following the usual
off-the-cuff technique of his back
platform campaigning. In thatl
way, with the speech made avail
able to reporters prior to delivery
the President got faster and more
complete coverage than otherwise
would have been the case.
The President was greeted by
a crowd of perhaps 1000 includ-
ing many school-bound children.
On Saturday night in May, two
years ago, he drew probably four
times as many at Fargo, but Mr..
Truman expressed pleasure today
at the tremendous" turnout. He
did not campaign in North Dakota
in 1948.
Attack Draws Applause.
The Presidents sallies often got
applause, and a roar greeted his
assertion about the sign on Gen.
Eisenhower's train.
The actual opening of the
whistle stop drive came att
Breckenridge, Mimi, en- route toi
Fargo, where the President told
about 600 hearers to count their
blessings under Democratic rule.
He had warm word for Gov.
Stevenson and his running mate,
Senator Sparkman of Alabama,
saying that they keep the in
terests of the common people at
heart"
And the principal thing I am
interested in about Gov. Steven
son." the President said, "is that
he is not the stooge of Wall
Street"
At both Breckenridge and Fargo
the President urged support of
Democratic candidates for Con-
greSs and State Offices.
Praises Senator LANCER.
At Fargo, the President charac-
terized the current Republican
campaign as "the most abusive,
Incorporate and vicious" in years,
and he took this opportunity to
say good word for Senator
LANCER, North Dakota Republican,
for his defense of Internal Rev.
enue Bureau employees and other
Government personnel in the
Juror over corruption in the ad-
ministration.
The President made clear at
the outset that his contribution
to the campaign is going to be de-
ferse Of his administration and
he stressed that he intended to
talk facts" instead of dealing in
slogans, generalities and scare
words" with which he said "the
Republican candidate" is insult
ing" the American people.
The record of his administra-
tion is "good," the President in
sisted, amplifying that the ad-
