Ethel and Julius Rosenberg"
Making a long line in double
file on the sidewalks, the SYM
pathizers went to the White
House by taking a route from
Ninth street and Constitution
avenue, to Fifteenth street and
thence to the Executive Mansion.
While on the Mall, and before
Mr.. Alman's statement. the SYM
pathizers lolled on the grass, dis
cuSSing the case. A loud speaker
system was installed atop a taxi
cab. A speakers stand stood in
the center of the throng. Flag
poles, with American flags, oc-
cupied three corners of the stand.
Under each flag was a large
placard with drawings of the Ro-
Senbergs and the inscription,
eve are Innocent"
Here again was a detail of city
and Park Police. The latter were
commanded by Chief Mark Rasp-
berry.

of Julius, was IN Washington. A

Earlier in the day, Representa-
tive Kearns. Republican, of Penn

vestigate to find out who is
underwriting" the visits of the
Rosenberg sympathizers to WASH
ington.
Fare Subsidy Suspected.
Mr.. Kearns told the House the
demonstrators from New York
got round-trip tickets for IS
each, while the regular price is
$17.50. Somebody, he said, must
have paid the difference.
He called the demonstrations
an effort Ito intimidate justice"
Spokesman for railroads that
carried the sympathizers here
yesterday and last Sunday said
the legal round-trip coach rate
for groups as specified by the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, is $8.72 including Federal
tax, provided at least 300 persons
are carried.
The passengers, according to
the ICC regulations, are required
to make the round trip journey
within single day, since the
tickets are not valid except on
the special trains.
The regular one-way fare, the
railroad spokesmen said, is
$10.05 plus tax, or round trip at
$17.43, tax included.
Some of the sympathi1ers
who boarded the trains in New
York came from as far away as
California.
Says Collections Assisted.
Joseph Brainan, chairman of
the Committee to Secure Justice
for the Rosenbergs, sponsor of
the trips here, said the difference
between the SIS paid by each per-
son and the $8.72 fare was made
up by voluntary contributions.
Some collections were taken on
the trains themselves, he added,
and other contributions came
from regular collections from
Sympathizers of the Rosenbergs.

was an effort to intimidate JUS

The Week in Religion
BY Religious News Service

Religious and political experts
Of the free world were hard at
work this week trying to fathom
the meaning of the startling
Communist decision to halt the
war against the church in East
Germany.
Do the Communists really
mean what they now say? If
so, what prompted them to over
turn the stubborn Marxist con-
viction that the masses must be
liberated" from the influence
of religion?
And does the East German
switch mean that the churches
will get a new lease on life in
other Iron Curtain countries?
Only the Communists know
all the answers to these ques-
tions. But even from this side
of the Iron Curtain, the experts
can draw some well-based con-
cluSions.
The circumstances surround
ing the sudden change in East
Germany and the status of the
churches in other Soviet satel-
lites offer some of the best hints
of Red intentions.
Church Made No Deal.
The Evangelical Church : ir
Germany made no deal with the
East German regime. Conmu-
mist Premier Otto Grotewohl ano
his associates volunteered to halt
anti-church measures without
demanding anything in return
from the church.
Mr.. Grotewohl called Bishop
Otto Dibelius Of Berlin, head OF
the Evangelical Church in Ger
many, and other prominent
Protestant clergymen to a con-
ference in his Office.
There the Soviet Zone leader
agreed to take no further steps
against Junge Gemeinde, the
Evangelical youth organization
that has been the Communists
prime target.
He promised also to reduce
unjust" sentences meted out to
convicted pastors, to readmit all
pupils expelled from school be-
cause I Junge Gemeinde mem
bership and return confiscated
church property.
The agreement signed by
church and state officials fur
ther provided that all state sub
sides to the church would be
paid promptly, that the order
requiring advance registration of
all church gatherings with the
police would be reviewed and
adjusted" and that a plan would
Evening star., 1953-06-21
The Week in Religion
Red Plan to Halt Church War
In East Germany cared Sham

be worked out to restore reli-
gious classes in schools.
The agreement covered virtu-
ally all points of contention be-
tween the church and Commu-
mist rulers.
Evangelical officials immedi-
ately adopted the position that
they were accepting the Com
munists at their word. Although
he said that naturally, we must
await further developments"
Bishop Dibelius commented that
it would be unfair to doubt Mr..
Grotewohl's good faith.
Roman Catholics in Germany
also welcomed the agreement.
Their leaders expressed hope that
they too would be given written
assurances by the regime.
Does all this mean that tho
East German Communists sim
cerely intend to permit full free
dom of religion?
The experts fear not. They
think that at best the softened
attitude toward the churches
will be temporary.
| One reason they think so is
the move has all the earmarks
of a tactical maneuver rather
than a change in long-term
goals.
East Germans Discontinued.
They point out that discomfort
has risen sharply among the East
German population. Thousands
have fled to the Western gone.
The Communists want to calm
fears and halt this mass migra-
ton.
Then, too, the Communists
want desperately to prevent
West Germany's entrance into
a European defense army. The
West German parliament al
ready has approved West Ger
man participation.
Only by holding out the hope
of unifiaction of all Germany,
the Communists feel. can West
Germany be prevented from ally
ing itself with the Western de-
mocracies.
If Russia were making any
basic change in it's Communist
line on religion, it would be rea-
sonable to expect a relaxation Of
anti-church pressure everywhere
behind the Iron Curtain. But
there is no evidence Of this.
To Western observers, the
meaning of the olive branch held
out to the German church is
clear. It presages no change in
Communist aims. It is, they feel,
just another local expedient in
Soviet Russia's current peace
offensive"

North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, June 20.-If for
one good reason or another
someone offers you $4,000 bill,
don't thank him-and, more inn
portant. don't accept it If. by any
possibility, you can avoid doing
so.
Otherwise, according to a
spokesman of the Federal Re-
serve Bank here and several
prominent local bankers, you
may be out Of luck, for bank
notes of this denomination,
even when not counterfeit, are
suspect, and so is the possessor.
If the holder Is known at any
particular bank, reputed Ito be a
citizen in good standing, he won't
get change for his bill until he
is Investigated, until he explains
how he acquire the note, when
and where, and so forth. Also.
under a Federal law governing
transactions in large~ sums Of
money, the bank must report all
details to the Treasury Depart
ment. So there will be delay, If
nothing worse, while If the
holder has no bank that So 900
note conceivably will do him no
more good than a slip Of paper.
Deposit Is Best.
"The best thing to do, if you
are persona grata at a bank,
said the president of a large
trust company, "is to deposit the
bill as you would a check. After
the check-and you-have been
cleared, you can draw on it. 1t
would be well for you, however,
to make sure there are no f1nan-
cial or other sort Of skeletons in
your closet hitherto undisclosed. "
Some time ago a man OF
presentable appearance ap-
preached the window of the chief
paying teller Of one Of this city's
most important commercial
banks. profering a $4,000 bill
which he wanted changed. ct
was the first bill Of this size the
teller had seen In his 20 years
of service.)
"Why," asked the official.
don't you take it to your own
bank?"
The man had no bank and
when the teller began to shake
his head negatively. the holder
Of the bill leaned forward.
TELL you what" he whispered,
"you break this up. give me
$500 and you keep the rest"

You're Guilty Until Proved
Innocent, With $4,000 Bill

The holder, Of course, was told
to go elsewhere. But where?
That was his headache. Now.
the fellow may have come by the
bill honestly. and the bribe may
have been merely an act Of
desperation in attempting to get
rid Of the thing. Or, again, it
might have been-probably was
money illegally earned. In
either case he was out of luck.
Perhaps you know that a
$4,000 bank note is the biggest
denomination issued by the Gov
ernment. 1t is a rare bird. At
the present time, according to
Treasury Department figures as
of last March. only 800 notes Of
this size-$8 million worth-exist
in this. country outside the Fed
eral Reserve banks and the
Treasury Department. CONNER
cial banks throughout the Nation
may hold a few, If any. for the
usual practice is to turn them
over to the Federal Reserve.
where they either are stored
away or sent to the Treasury in
Washington.
In the years before World War
II and during the war, when
business was booming, and cash
transactions of unwonted size did
not have to be reported to the
Treasury Department-the law
did not require that this be done
until 1946-$10,000 bills were
much more numerous than they
are now. In 1889 they were
extant to the sum Of $32 million.
with the peak year. 1910, $50
million.
After the war decline set in.
only $12 million Of these bills
were in circulation or stored
away.
Some Hidden Away.
No one, of course. knows what
public holders do with the notes.
One supposition is that a lot lie
hidden so as to conceal income
tax evasions. or to hide the fact
of overceiling payments in cash
(not check) transactions in
which goods greatly desired by
buyers were purchased with ad-
ditional payments Of illegal
premiums. The numbers of all
these bills are. Of course, known
to the Government.
"Why," we asked the head Of
one of our largest financial in
stitutions, "in view of all the diff.
ficulty about $4,000 bills, does
Uncle Sam continue to print
the troublesome stuff" The
banker laughed and shrugged.
"You ask Uncle SAM" he said.

Eastern Shore. John A. Schwab,
general manager of the railroads
Eastern Region, said that "by far
the great majority of passengers
using the night trains between
New York and Cape Charles are
from points on the western shore
of Chesapeake Bay. Not only will
the new service shorten the Nor
folk-New York trip by two hours,
but it will enable passengers who
leave from Norfolk to avoid a late
at-night ferry trip, just as it will
enable them on their return to
eliminate the necessity of arising
in early morning hours to trans
fer from train to ferry. Thus it
will greatly benefit most of the
travelling public" In conjunction
with the r. F. & p, A. c. L. and
the Norfolk and Western, the
Pennsylvania proposed to inaugu-
rate a new train, with coach and

opposite direction, the service
would provide a train leaving New
York at pm. and arriving in
Norfolk at am. intermediate
cities served by the trains would be
Richmond, Washington, Baltimore.
Wilmington and Philadelphia.
Residents of the Eastern Shore,
who use the night trains only to a
minor degree, will still have avail
able day trains to and from Cape
Charles. Between that point and
Norfolk, bus service is available by
Carolina Trailways via the Vir-
ginia Ferry. The Carolina Trail
ways and the Greyhound compan-
les also operate buses between
Eastern Shore towns and Philadel-
phia and New York.
