Whereabouts OF Orphans To Be Checked

PARIS R-The Grand Rabbi of
France angrily complained last
week that Roman Catholic author
tiles have failed to Seep promises
to produce two Jewish-born but
Catholic-shelterei orphan boys who
disappeared after court ordered
them into the care of their Israeli
aunt.
A representative of Cardinal
Gerlier, Primate of All the Gauls,
declared, however. that the Cath
Ole Church still had no knowledge
of the boys whereabouts and is as
unhappy as the Grand Rabbi over
the failure to tind them.
The boys, Gerald Finally, 10, and
his brother Robert, IL. were taken
into a Catholic orphanage in
France after their Austrian refu-
gee parents were executed by Ma
zis during Wirld War II. They were
later baptized into the Catholic
Church. sassi
The Jews contend Catholic priests

ago after French court gave Gus

Mrs. Hewig Rosner. of Gedera,
Israel.
In a public statement, the Grand
Rabbi said the Catholic church had
led him to believe that the boys
would be returned to France.

promises OF representatives Of the
Catholic hierarchy have not been

would then be permitted to choose

priest added that The Primate was

the Grand Rabbi for news Of the

OF Currency
Plates Asked
BY G. MILTON KELLY

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Mundt
(R-SD) said that he has ordered
a new investigation of how the
Russians were able to use plates
borrowed from the u. S. govern
ment to print money by the bale"
which this country mad to redeem.
Mundt said prior inquiries have
established that someone in the
government lent occupation cur
renly plates to Russia in 1915, bit
that no one has ever developed the
inside story of how it was engi-
neered.
The senator, who has been in
charge of the inquiry for the Sem
ate investigations subcommittee,
said he plans a thorough grilling
of past and present officials of the
international Monetary Fund about
the loan to Russia of printing
plates to produce Occupation cur
rency" for the Allied forces in
Europe during and after World
War III.
Mundt and Sen. Mccarthy (R-
Wis.,, chairman of the Subcommit-
tee, said they plan extensive ques-
tioning of Frank Coe, the fund S
former $40, 00O-a-year secretary
who refused last week to tell the
subcommittee whether he ever
Spied for the Communists. Coe is
to return to the witness stand at a
public hearing today.
The two senators said they also
plan testimony by William H. Tay-
lor, assistant director of the middle
East Department of the fund.
Coe, pie a din g at Fridays
stormy hearing that replies might
tend to incriminate him, refused
to answer 81 questions as to wheth-
er he had been a Communist or a
spy, or had connections with Com
munists. But he said he was a good
American and no espionage agent.
He refused to say whether he knew
Taylor or was fellow member of
a spy ring with him.
Mccarthy called Coe "an ex-
tremely dangerous Individual" and
said the government ought to close
the U. S. borders to him. The tall,
fidgeting witness flung back that
this was persecution .
The televised hearing was called
to explore whether Coe, as sslre-
tary of the monetary fund, tried in
vain in 1919 to block devaluation
of Austrian currency. The deyal-
uation was described as blow to
Russia. partially made necessary
by the loan of the occupation cur
rency printing plates.
Coe denied having any hand in
the devaluation negotiations.

Letter
Dear Louisa:

Dear Louisa:
My husband Is very strict with
the children. In fact, be is 50
much so that his methods seem
to be doing the very thing that
he is trying to prevent.
He does not allow our high
school daughter to have dates or
go to parties nor does he let our
sixteen year old son drive the car.
They must be in bed at ten o'clock
week days and week ends.
The children have gotten very
rebellious here of late and the boy
has threatened to stop school and
60 off to work where he can have
some fun. Our daughter is abso-
lutely boy crazy and deeeives us
by meeting dates in the movies.
/ am very much distressed over
the whole situation because | know
that my husband is doing what he
thinks is best for the children but
what think is running them.
What course must | take?

Arnistice Time Grows Shorter
Indian Custodons Are Reported as Wontine to Extend
Beyond January ~ the Time Of Persuasion ToIks'

The six weeks during which
a decision on the prisoners Of
war and on a political con-
ference about Korea must be
reached are ticking away fast
and we still are "as it was in
the beginning"
The future Of the men who
decided not to return to their
homelandS is uncertain and
the negotiations for the start
of a political conference are
being blocked by the represent
atives Of the men in Peiping,
who in turn act at the Krem-
Inns bidding. Both these mat
ters must be out OF the way on
January % in accordance with
the srmistice terms signed last
July.
Only 8 per cent Of the reluc-
tant Chinese and North Ko-
rean prisoners have agreed to
return after they have been
talked to by Red officers. The
rest want to go anywhere in
the world except back to the
Communist hell.
In accordance with the
terms Of the armistice, these
prisoners should return to
civilian status on January %
If they continue to refuse re-
patriation. AS civilians they
should be free to 60 to South
Korea, Formosa or any nom
Communist country which is
willing to harbor them.
There are indications. how
ever. that the Indian custodi-
ans see the situation in a diff
ferent light. The New Delhi
government would like to ex-
tend the time of persuasion
talks" Washington and Seoul
strongly oppose this because of
the inevitable deterioration of
morale among these men.
Those prisoners who decided to
return to their Red masters
have already left the stock

in their status as captiveS.

be freed by the end of January

power. The world situation
has become significantly less
tense due to the armistice in
Korea. Thus the latest cut
may stick without too much Of
a public row.
Support troops rather than
combat units will take the
brunt of the reduction. Be
tween them, the Army. Navy
and Marine Corps must cut
uniformed personnel by 400,-
900. The Air Force, meanwhile,
will increase by some 10000 to
reach its currently authorized
strength of 100000. BY the
end of the next fiscal year
18 months from now-the
number of Americans in uni
form will have been reduced
to 81 million.
The 10 per cent reduction
was at first set by Secretary
Wilson as goal for the serv-
ices to shoot at. It became a
hard and fast order at the in
sistence Of Budget Director
Dodge and Treasury Secretary

N Fire Viewers
Barred as Jurors
In Arson Trial

Judge James r. Kirkland yes
terday disqualified four prospec-
tive jurors in an arson case on
the grounds that they had seen
the fire on television.
The Judge held that disquali-
fication was mandatory under
the rule which forbids an eye
witness to an alleged crime from
serving on the jury trying the.
case.
The ruling yesterday was
unique in this Jurisdiction.
Judge Kirkland said his opin-
ion was also based partly on the
fact that the television viewers
might have heard a running
commentary at the same time
which could affect unbiased
judgment.
The incident occurred at the
opening Of the trial of Donald
E. Morey. 81. Of the 600 block

would be laid waste-all this,
while fact. Is not the true ex-
preston of the purpose and
the hope of the United States"
These carefully chosen words
struck home. For the Kremlin
understands the language of
force. Now it has had from the
lips Of the President of the
United States the most solemn
warning uttered by one govern
ment to another since the close
of World War II. The warn
ing told Soviet Russia it could
eliminate any thought that the
United States would vacillate
in its action in defense of it's
territory. With the warning
also went this sharply worded
sentence to the rulers of Soviet
Russia. which the people Of
that country can also under
stand:
Surely no sane member Of
the human race could dis
cover victory in such desola-
ton"
It may well be that the
Presidents words came as
shock to the Soviet govern
ment which may have been led
to believe heretofore that an
America terrorized by the re-
cent news about the de-
structiveness of the H-bomb
would be too scared to an
nounce a policy of fierce re-
taliation. Now that the Soviets
have the American answer
announced by the man who
headed up our military forces
in Europe in World War IL
the problem of what can be
done to control the uses of
atomic energy for both peace
and war becomes more per-
tinent than ever to both sides.
The Soviet government, upon
reflection, will unquestionably
perceive that it cannot con-
vert Gen. Eisenhower's words
into a threat of an attack
