U.S.. Sets Record Straight
On Romania Oil Charges
By the Associated Press

The United States told Ro-
mania's Communist government
: today it isn't American sabotage
but Romania's own anti-WeSt-
ern policies and the Soviet sei-
zure of oil and industrial equip
ment that caused postwar short
ages of petroleum products.
United States Minister Harold
Shantz delivered the note of the
Romanian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to keep "the record
straight" after a recent Com
munist charge of espionage and
sabotage against certain Roma
mans formerly employed by
American oil companies in that
country.
United States money and skill
have developed the Romanian
oil industry, the Washington
not said. And it pointed to Rus
sian seizure and Romanian gov
eminent policies blocking out
side funds for postwar recon-
struction as causing the Soviet
satellites poor showing in oil
production.
The Romanian government"
said the American note released
by the State Department. may
seek tn clelude its people into be-
lieving that the shortages of
petroleum products in Romania
in the years 1945, 1916 and 1947
were caused by the actions of
the management of the oil
companies.
I'm fact, as has been shown
above, they were due to seizures
of equipment and forced exports
of such produces to the Soviet
Union.

Gambler 10 Hear
Recording Of Talk
In Bribery Charge

Gambler Henry M. tP1ggy)
Leake. a, won the right in Fed
eral court today to hear a play
back of a conversation that re-
suited in his indictment on
charges Of trying to bride a
morals squad detective.
Permission to listen to the tape
recording, made during an elab-
crate police trap set for Leake
last September 10, was granted
by Judge Alexander Holtzoff of
the U. s. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Prosecutor John Lane said he
had no objections.
Defense Attorney Curtis P.
Mitchell and Mr.. Lane assured
Judge Holtzoff they would ar
range a date for a session at
police headquarters.
Recording Made in Car.
The prosecutor said the re-
cording will show the gambler
offered Detective Wyatt Roy a
bride of $50 down and $50 a
month while seated in Roy's
car parked behind the National
Guard Armory. The recording
machine was hidden in the car
trunk.
Mr.. Lane said police used a
Shortwave set to broadcast any
conversation. When the word
money" was uttered by Detec-
tive Roy, it was a signal for
officers nearby to close in.
Judge Holtzoff, over Mr.. Lanes
objection, ordered the Govern
ment. to give back to Leake
$4,000 found in his pocket when
he was searched.
This money is part of the
crime, your honor" the prosecu-
tor argued. "He told Roy he
didn't bride officers but there
was nothing to stop them from
finding money. Then he threw
a $50 bill to the ground.
Statement Reviewed.
'He had offered $50 and said
he would pay $50 more each
month and that $4,000 indicates
he was just the man who could
do it,"
Attorney Mitchell got permits
sion to look at a shorthand re-
porter's notes on questions asked
and given by Leake following
his arrest.
Leake figured in the celebrated
BRASS Rail Case" in 1948. Al
that time, Leake and Charles H
Nelson, 80, manager of the cafe
owned by the wife of another
gambler, shot it out in, num-
bers dispute.
Each refused to testify against
the other and were freed. The
District Attorneys Office came
under attack from the District

Gadio Atmo Santoso has come
halfway around the world to
learn about sports in the United
States, but so far it hasn't been
our sports that leaves the little
Indonesian shaking his head in
wonder.
Rather it is the miraculous
manner in which our pedestrians
keep from getting killed that has
impressed Gadio. sports writer
and commentator from Surabaja,
Java.
Discipline" Gadio calls it.
"You have the persons walk in
street when it is not right. But
the automobiles Stop!"
In Indonesia, Gadio says, the
automobiles stop-sometimes!
Just as amazing to Gadio is
the complete subjugation of our
drivers to a four-letter word.
THE sign says stop and all
your carriages STOP" he says.
Even when there is no police
man standing by In Indonesia
there must be a policeman or
nobody stops!"
Is Writes for Two Papers.
Gadio-and that. was his COM
plete name until he was mar
ried-is sports writer for two
papers, the Suara Masjarakat,
which means Voice of the Com
munity," and the Java Post. He
also has a 15-minute sports pro-
gram every Tuesday evening over
the Surabaja outlet for the Radio
Republic IndoneSia, the govern
ment-controlled network.
In addition, he teaches geogra-
ply and history in high school.
In Indonesia one name is SUI
ficent until marriage. Then the
bridegroom adds name, one OF
his own choosing. Gadio selected
Atmo Santoso. meaning strong
son" 1t was good choice. He
now has five "Atmo Santosos,
ranging in age from 4 to Is
years.
That the average American is
unfamiliar with the Indonesian
custom of name-giving doesn't
surprise Gadio too much. That
many Americans do not even
know where or what Indonesia is
is somewhat shocking to this
38-year-old student OF world
geography.
"They say to me, oh, yes,
Indo-China'," Gadio says with a
grin. Nov Indo-China is four
hours away by plane"
Indonesia, formerly the Dutch
East Indies, became an inde-
pendent nation in 1945. It's cap
ittal is Jacarta, which like Ga
dos home town of Surabaja is
located in Java. In Jacarta is In
donesia's largest stadium, which
can seat $4,000 and often does at
the big soccer games.

Sports in Indonesia are moth
ing like they are here, says Gadlo.
