Heavy rains in Southwest Vir-

Heavy rains sweeping ahead

State police at Cumberland re-

than an inch fell during the
night at Waldorf, Frederick and
Randallstown. The Eastern
Shore section, however, got less
than a tenth of an inch.
The cold front is expected to
whisk away the mild tempera-

Generally yesterday Maryland

either fog. smog or smaze.
Discomfort Caused by Gases.
Officially the weatherman

Smaze is smoke and haze. A
temperature inversion in which
cold air near the ground is held
down by heavy mass OF warm

Industrial gases unable to dis
perse in the upper atmosphere,
due to this condition, have caused
thousands along the Eastern

Defense Secretary Wilson may
have known what he was talking
about when he told a news mag
azine recently that 1--WE were
dumb enough to turn over the
whole German submarine fleet
to the Russians" after World
War II. But no one else in the
Pentagon has the foggiest idea
what the boss meant.
Officially the Defense Depart
ment has declined to comment
on Mr.. Wilson'S remark, and he
himself has added no word of
explanation. From a study of
the record, however, these facts
emerge:
l. The United States did not
give the whole German subma-
rine fleet to the Russians. In
fact, of 243 German submarines
in Western hands at the end of
the war, Russia received only 10.
2. Russia probably took over a
number of other German SUBJ
marines over which the United
States and Britain had no con-
troll. But even including ships
in this category, the total num-
ber of German subs acquired by
the Reds is not believed to be
much more than 25.
Facts on Disposition.
Facts on the disposition of
the German undersea fleet, as
closely as they can be established
through queries at the Defense,
State and Navy Departments,
are as follows:
At the end of the war in
Europe, May, 1945, there were
433 submarines in the German
Navy, not counting those being
built. Of this number, 225 were
scuttled by the Nazis, 213 were
destroyed by the United States
and Great Britain and 80 were
divided equally among the Unit
ed States, Britain and the U. S.

Philadelphia Police
Pick Up 1000 Youths
In Delinquency Drive
Police Plan to Huross
Youngsters Until
Crimes Are Stopped
By the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-
Determined Philadelphia police
-deluged with complaints of
rowdyism by youthful mobs in
recent weeks-drove ahead with
a breakdown on teen-age gangs
today after rounding up more
than 1000 youngsters over the
week end.
Capt. Howard R. Leary of the
Juvenile Aid Bureau and Police
Commissioner Thomas j. Glib
bons said police will ''narass and
haunt these gangs until they
make up their mind to settle
down, be good citizens and stop
bothering others"
The comments came in the
wake of the unprecedented week.
end roundup which saw 625
youngsters taken into custody
from one police division in the
northern section of the city,
while raiding squads in other
parts of Philadelphia brought in
more than 400 boys and girls.
Increasing Complaints Cited.
Mr.. Gibbons said increasing
complaints of beatingS, holdups,
and robberies by young toughs
who hang around sleazy pool
rooms, taprooms and all-night
diners instead of staying at home
and doing something construc-
tive" prompted the breakdown.
Inspector John F. DriScoll
headed a special detail of 80 po-
licemen and "a policewomen who
picked up the teenagers.
Even as the raid was going on,
Mr.. Gibbons disclosed. four
youths mugged a 45-year-old
woman. held her prisoner and
criminally assaulted her. Found
walking barefoot on a dead-end
street three hours later, she was
admitted to the Einstein Medical
Center suffering from shock and
bruises.
Inspector DriScoll said a large
quantity of guns and switch
blade knives were scooped up by
police. The city council recently
passed an ordinance outlawing
the knives.
$50 Released to Parents.
Fifty policemen were used to
herd the teen-agers into patrol
wagons for trips to one precinct
station and then to another un-
til available cells were found to
lodge them.
Capt. Leary said $50 youths
whose acts were not in good
taste" were processed by his unit
and then released in their
parents custody. Most of the
others also were released in their
parents custody, he said. after
a stern warning to stop as
sembling in gangs.
Capt. Leary summed up the
official attitude last night:
THE teen-agers know there is
a drive on and are a little eau
/ tious. The only course for us is
to keep harassing them until
they decide it isn't worth
all the trouble and conduct

The owner of seven business
properties in the 700 block of
Fourth street S.W. filed suit in
Federal court here today in a
new challenge to the legality of
the city's pilot slum clearance
and redevelopment program in
Southwest Washington.
The suit, filed by Max Sher-
man, asks that the seven proper
ties be excluded from the rede-
velopment plan, and that the
Government be enjoined from
taking title to them.
It charges that the taking
of the land by the District Re-
development Land Agency would
be arbitrary, discriminatory and
capricious" and beyond the scope
of powers given the land agency.
1t asks the court to so declare.
The action is the first court
test of whether the so-called
Project B plan exceeds the au-
thority Of the District Redevel-
oprnent Act of 1945.
Act Ruled Valid.
The act itself was ruled con-
stitutional two weeks ago by a
three-judge Federal court. The
court. however. held that the
act imposed rigid restrictions,
and raised sharp questions about
whether the proposed program
actually violates those restric-
tionS.
A group of Southwest buSi-
nessmen have said they plan to
contest the plan as we'll as to
appeal the question of the acv' S
constitutionality. Mr.. Sherman S
suit, however, is the first actual
test.

Italy Gives Assent
To Trieste Farley
Without Conditions
Allies Suggestion
Accepted, Raising
Settlement Hopes
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Nov. 23.-The Italian
Foreign Ministry said today that
Italy has agreed Internationally
to the Big Three proposal for
a five-power conference on the
future of disputed Trieste.
Previously foreign diplomatic
sources had indicated that Italy's
assent to the conference pro-
posal had been conditioned, but
a Foreign Ministry spokesman
said today:
''Italy's position has been taken
into consideration by the allies
and the allies suggestion for a
five-power conference was ac-
cepted."
In Belgrade, the official Yugo-
slav news agency Tanjug said
yesterday that the conditional
acceptance attributed earlier to
Italy appeared to be along lines
laid down previously by Rome.
Tanjug said any proposal for
conference taking for granted
that part of the territory would
be turned over to Italy was
completely unacceptable" to
President Titos government.
Details Not Made Public.
The Italian spokesman said
the United States, Britain and
France on November 13 had sug-
gested that Italy and Yugoslavia
meet with them on Trieste and
that Italy had accepted the
Western suggestions lin bloc. 3"
The details OF the Western
proposals have not been made
public. Previously Italy had sug-
eested that before a conference,
Italy and Yugoslavia should be
put on the same footing with
regard to Trieste by either
Italian occupation of Zone A,
now occupied by British and
American troops, or Yugoslav
withdrawal from Zone B. Yugo-
slavia turned down that sugges-
ton fatty.
Italy's spokesman said today
that so far as his government is
concerned, a Trieste conference
can be held any time now.
I'm so far as Italy is concerned,
there is a green light for the
f1ve-power conference" he de-
clared.
Increasingly Optimistic.
Diplomatic sources here were
increasingly optimistic about the
prospects of a conference being
held. They anticipated, how
ever, that it would begin not as
full-dress, high-level negoti-
alton but with a preliminary
meeting of experts.
Italy previously had demand
ed that the Western powers
make good on the British-Amer-
lean pledge October 8 to with
draw their occupation troops
from Zone A, including the port
city. and turn it over to the
Italians. The Italians contend
that a plebiscite should be helc
to determine the final DISPOSE
tion of the territory.
This has been delayed BY
Marshal Tito's threat to march
his troops into Zone A at the
moment Italian troops move in
Marshal Tito's last suggestion
was that the port city, whose
population is largely Italian, be
given to Italy and that the rest
of Zone A, an area of farms anC
vineyards surrounding the city
go to Yugoslavia.

Senator'S Begin
Probe Of White
BrowneII to Submit
FBl Reports on
Other Alleged Spies
BY the Associoted Pres.


Senate investigators looked to
the Justice Department today
for answers on how much in
formation the Truman admins
tration had linking Harry Dex-
ter Whites co-workers with Red
espionage.
With no witnesses announced
in advance. the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee, headed
by Senator Jenner. called a pub
lie hearing to put into the rec
ord documentary evidence re-
quested from Attorney General
Brownell.
Subcommittee members and
staff officials held closed seS-
sion for an hour and a half
this morning. They were not
available for comment later,
and staff employees said it was
not certain that the meeting
dealt directly with the open
hearing scheduled for this.
afternoon. 1t was reported
that two women were ques-
toned at the closed session.
Mr.. Brownell charged in a
speech November 6 that, despite
FBI reports pointing to White
as a spy. former President Tru-
man promoted White in 1916
from Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury to United States Di-
rector of the International Mon
etary Fund.
Mr.. Truman, in a radio-TV
reply. said he permitted the pro-
motion of White. now dead. to
keep him and others accused as
spies under surveillance.
Hoover Testimony Explained.
But FBI Chief ]. Edgar
Hoover. testifying before the
Senate Subcommittee, said he
did not agree in advance to such
an arrangement and that it
hampered the FBI's watch on
White. Last night subcommittee
counsel Robert Morris said on
an NBC television program that
Mr.. Hoover decided to break his
self imposed ban on Congress
sional committee appearances
after a story was we'll circu-
lated" that he had agreed to
keeping White in the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Morris said he doubted
Mr.. Hoover considered whether
his testimony might cost him
his job if Democrats return to
power in Washington. There
were indications Mr.. Hoover
might get cool reception from
Democrats when he goes before
Congress next year in support
OF the FBI budget request.
Some Democrats while not
saying anything publicly, seem
to feel Mr.. Hoover cast his lot
with the G. o. P. administration
and tarniShed the non-partisan
reputation he has maintained
through Is eventful years as F'BI
director.
Spies Still May Be Working.
Mr.. Morris said the subcom-
mittee is not trying to put the
finger on individual Communists
although testimony very def
