BERLIN, Mar. ga group Of
East Germans fed to West Ber-
lin recently disguised as a fu-
neral cortege, dressed in black
and carrying huge wreaths. it
was disclosed today.
A report compiled by the
United States High Commission
here mentioned this as an ex-
ample of how refugees fleeing
from the Communicated East
Zone are utilizing every avail
able means of locomotion to
reach the West sectors and free
dom. &s
Most of them walk across the
st-West city border in Berlin
or use the elevated and under
ground railway systems. But
others have used q weird assort-
ment of vehicles on their west
ward fight. III
One particularly spectacular
venture was that Of four MEM
bers Of a family from RuederS-
dorf, a few miles east Of Berlin,
who asked for asylum this month
in West Berlin after chugging
more than 200 miles in q $50
passenger excursion boat.

has been recommended to me
very highly. He has a fine edu-
cation, integrity and great abil-
ity. I have every reason to
believe that he will do a good
job"
Attends Board Session.
Mr.. Spencer attended this
mornings meeting of the Board
of Commissioners as an OBJ
server.
When Mr.. Adams called Com
missioner Donohue yesterday to
tell him his resignation had been
accepted, he didn't say who
would be the new Commissioner.
And, Mr.. Donohue confessed to
reporters today, he forgot to ask
Mr.. Adams. Newsmen supplied
the name of the nominee in
short order.
Mr.. Donohue said he had in
vited Mr.. Spencer to attend to-
days meeting of the Board Of
Commissioners. Mr.. Spencer ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Donohue plans to drive to
Florida as soon as he can after
his successor is qualified. He
wants to cross the Everglades
and go to Key West for a little
fishing, and then up the West
Coast Of Florida.
Was Backer Of Eisenhower.
Mr.. Spencer's choice repre-
Sents a victory for the Eisen-
hover wing Of the Republican
Party. He was one of only four
Eisenhower supporters to be
elected District delegates to the
G. o. P. national convention in
Chicago last summer. His can
didacy was backed by Col. L.
Corrin Strong, head Of the
Eisenhower forces here.
The conservatives. led by
Joseph P. McGarraghy, Republic
can State Committee chairman;
and Mrs. Howard Coffin, Repub-
lican National Committeeman,
were represented as favorable to
Claude w. owen, 81. former
president of the Washington
Board of Trade.
Mr.. Spencer met President
Eisenhower for the first time
during his call at the White
House yesterday afternoon. He
termed their 10-minute chat a

the District of Columbia today
held that wholesalers who con-
tract to handle a manufacturers
goods, under tight control by the
latter, are in effect agents of

The ruling upheld, in part. a
Board of Tax Appeals decision
and made Lever Bros. Co. liable
for a corporation franchise tax
on percentage Of $2.6 million
worth Of business done in the
District in 1948. The tax is S

Lever Bros. had argued that it
was exempt from the tax be-
cause it had no place Of business

Before leaving the White
House, he said he believed Dis

On the segregation issue, he
said he agreed in general with
the sentiments expressed by
President Eisenhower in his

Asked yesterday what he
thought Of segregation in the
public schools. he pointed out he
was yet to be confirmed and did
not wish to bespremature in his
comments.
He added, however, that the is
sue has been put up to the Su-

here eventually will depend on
the courts ruling.

U. 5. Savings Bond Sales
Set Peaceiime Record

With sales of United States
savings bonds setting a peace
time record just under $4.5 bill
lion for series E and H, National
Savings Bonds Director Earl o.
Shreve announced today he was
completely optimistic about in
creased sales in 1854"
The 1858 sales, totaling around
$4.3 billion, represent a gain of
% per cent over the 1852 total
of $50 billion, the previous
peacetime record.
Only during World War II.
when patriotism combined with
the scarcity of consumer goods
to bring about heavier buying,
did sales of the corresponding
securities exceed the 1853 rec
ord. In 1914 the total exceeded
$12 billion.
MIR, Shreve's forecast for next
year was based on the Treasury's
plans for a new drive to sell
savings bonds. It will get under
way next week.
