Church Of Christ in Italy. said he
went to police headquarters this

be a concern for the police"
No Hint of Plans.
The police gave no indication
what they planned to do about

The orphanage has been under

since it began operating three and
10 half years ago. .14
Biggest flare-up in the Frascati
dispute was in January, 1850.

denomination said groups of
youths stoned them out of Castel
Gandolfo, where the, Pope has his
summer home, and three other
Alban Hill castle cities near Fras-
cati. ,>

Diplomats Feel Certain
Spain Will Ease Terms
For u. 5. Base Rights
by the Asseeiofed Press

Diplomatic oficials said today
they were reasonably confident
that the United States eventually
will get air and naval base rights
in Spain but not at the price
asked by GeneraliSsimo Franco.
Gen. frances terms for agree
ing to let American ships and
planes use bases in Spanish ter
ritory were sent to Washington
in late July and have already been
rejected, these officials said.
The rejection was regarded in
the State and Defense Depart
ments as a phase in the bargain
ing with Franco, which has been
under way since last March. Some
officials said the Spanish reac-
ton was to indicate that the ini-
tial terms were subject to modifi-
cation and were not meant to be
considered as final.
The Spanish problem came into
the news yesterday when Senator
Long. Democrat, Of Louisiana said
the United States should come to
an agreement on the base prob
lem and told reporters he did not
think the Spanish were asking too
nigh a price. He did not say
what price they were asking.
Diplomatic officials indicated
that at the moment they are not
clear themselves on this point
because negotiations are actively
under way. Secretary of State
Acheson told a news conference
yesterday that he would not dis
cuss the Spanish talks at this
time.
However, indications are that
Gen. Franco wants the United
States to undertake a larger aid
program than the Truman ad-
ministration has been willing to
promise, plus a virtual alliance
between Madrid and Washington.
Ofhcials here appear fatty op-
posed to the alliance idea.

Finds Money
In Marketing
Oil Stocks
RY ARTHUR BOSOM

WASHINGTON R-An oil lease
buyer has told the Security and Ex-
change Commission that within a
seven-month period he made al
most a million dollars on a thou
Sanddollar investment - and that
he has prospects Of making plenty
more.
The story came out in o pros
pectuS filed with the commission
yesterday by Canadian Prospects,
Ltd, of Calgary, Alta, which
wants to sell 303,5 SOS common
shares in this country.
1.-The shares arr speculative
securities" the prospectus says.
1t then tells why, in 2O-figure-f filled
pages.
The company was starte 4
in May, 1850, by Wilbur L. Grit
fifth. He still is its president. The
prospectus says he formerly was
in the oil brokerage business in
Mt.Vernon, Ill.,, and that in 1850
he opened a similar business in
Denver.
AT the time the company was
founded. the commission was told.
it had 1000 shares, valued at 81
each. Griffith and his sister Mil
dred owned $50 of them.
The company specialized in buy
ing and selling oil leases, and
apparently business was good.
On Jan. 81, 1851. the company
came up with 3l5, 900 shares. at no
par value. Griffith sold 1000 of
these TO New York underwriters
at $40 a share, or for $3.50. 900.
Shortly afterwards. the stock was
split three ways. But still. the
prospectus said, common shares
have been traded at q range of 6
low and I high"
As near as can be told from the
prospectus. Griffith still has
around a half million shares in
this company that started out as
a thousand-dollar investment. II
that's true. and the stock is selling
for s., he has around three million
dollars Of stock left.
And what are the assets?
The prospectus says the company
now holds leases on almost five
million acres Of land scattered
from North and South Dakota on
through Western Canada.
The prospectus, which ca ,didly
admits it's all speculative. is can
did about the oil leases too.
They're all on unproven land. i,
says.
The SEC has three weeks in
which TO decide whether or rot to
permit Canadian Prospects, Ltd,
10 peddle its stock.

FIT. PIERCE MYSTERY

mystery of the latest violent death
to occur on the Keys.
The expert opinion may or may
not confirm present statements
that KIUg could not have shot
himself because there were no
powder burns or singed hair on
his head where the bullet enter
ed.
The scene of the killing showed
no signs of violent struggle. Only
woman's heel print showed the
presence of someone near the
body. The saddle bags of tie eX-
pensive new Indian motorcycle
were off into the water. Klug'S
wallet was removed, and so were
the license tags from his cycle,
indicating that the person with
him had time and presence of
mind to attempt to cover up Klug's
identity by taking them away.
HastineSs is indicated, however,
by the careless throwing of Klug's
Identification card into shallow
water. The person who did these
things after the death of the young
man, may have been unfamiliar
not only with the ShallowneSs of
most Keys water, but with the
action of the tides. Another ques-
ton that must be answered is
why a killer would use Klug's own
gun, registered in his name in
Miami.

n Government
BY RELMAN NORM

NEW YORK R-President-elect
Dwight D. Eisenhower neared the
end of his designations for top
level government offices today,
declaring that more high positions
will be assigned to women admin
istrators.
He has named the seventh men,
ber of the normally nine-man cab
met.
And along with that designation,
he announced yesterday that he
will propose the names of two
women-Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby of
Houston, Tex, and Mrs. Ivy Baker
Priest of Bountiful, Utah - for
administrative offices in the gov
ernment he is forming.
Mrs. Hobby was named tC head
the Federal Security Agency and
Mrs. Priest as treasurer Of the
United States.
These, he said in a formal an
nouncement, are 1.-The first of other
appointments of women in the COM
ing administration"
The designation for the cabinet
was Arthur f. Summerfield Of
Flint, Mich, for postmaster gen.
eral. Summerfield is chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee.
Only two cabinet posts now re-
main: the secretaries of commerce
and labor. There has been no indi-
cation at the generals headquar-
ters as to his choices.
He has an appointment today
with Gov. Theodore r. McKeldin
of Maryland, one of his early back
ers in the fight for the presidency
and the man who nominated him
for the office at the COP conven-
tion in July.
There has been speculation that
McKeldin may get one of the two
remaining cabinet positions. The
governor, however, said yesterday
his appointment with Eisenhower
is only a friendly call and has no
other significance.
Eisenhower also called in today
an official who can tell him a good
deal about Korea Mrs. Anna
Rosenberg.

South Korean Is Wizard OF
The Stock Market In Japan
BY FRED sAITo

TOKYO Up - The wizard of the
booming japanese stock market
is a 37-year-old South Korean who
started without a penny of his own
in 1945 and now speculates with
some 10 million dollars entrusted
to him by millions of clients.
His personal fortune is a secret
but MatSutomi Ito's lavish way
of life is in marked contrast to
more than 600, 900 other Koreans
in Japan. Most of them are pow
erty-stricken day laborers, looked
upon as Second-clasS citizens.
Ito now heads a private stock
investment fund with 1S0 branches
throughout the country. The power
full Honganji Buddhist seed with
some 10 million followers is one
of his best customers.
japanese brokers look with awe
upon this slight young man who
adopted a Japanese name and Is
now a anturalized citizen.
Ito was in the same poor fix
as his fellow countrymen in Japan
until shortly after World War II.
He came to Japan in 1928. He
was only 13 when he came to live
with his brother, a factory worker
now missing in Korea. Now he is
one of Japan's richest men. He
lives in a palace-sized house and
travels in a Limousine driven by
chauffeur.
After the war Ito borrowed mon
ey and headed for the countryside
to buy food and bring it to starv-
ing Tokyo.
at was a strenuous business but
rewarded with 100 per cent profit
in the chaotic days when many
faced starvation" Ito told an in
terviewer.
Ito turned away from his fellow
Koreans and set about maSslng
money.
" l have the friends in the Ko-
rean community and don't seek
them" be said.
With funds gained from his food
dealings, Ito started a stock brok-
erage business in Tokyo'S East
End slum district in ls4s.
He proved a genius at figuring
the twistings and turnings of ia
pans bouncing market. He bor-
rowed money from investors and
speculated on bis own, dividing the
profits later.
