Suit for SO Million
Filed by U. 5. Against
Greek Ship Operators
FederoI Court Action
Seeks All Earnings
Of Is Surplus Vessels
By the Associated Press

The Government today filed
a suit asking $40 million from
Aristotle Socrates Onassis, the
Greek shipping tycoon, and his
associates for alleged Illegal use
OF American war-surplus vessels.
Deputy Attorney General viii
liam p. Rogers announced the
action was brought in the Fed
eral District Court at New York.
In the suit, the Government
seeks the earnings of is ships
obtained by the Onassis group
from the United States surplus
fleet in the years 1948 through
1851.
Under the law, the surplus YES
sells could only be sold to bona
fide American citizens.
Criminal Indictments Pending.
The Government now has
criminal indictments pending
against Mr.. Onassis and his as
sociates, charging fraudulent
acquisition of the vessels through
Misrepresentation that the pur-
chasing corporations were con-
trolled by American interests,
and so were eligible to buy the
ships.
In today's recovery suit the
Justice Department charges that
when the Is ships were bought
actual control of the purchasing
corporations was in the OnaSsis
group, all of whom we're aliens.
The New York court was
asked to enter an order declar-
ing that the title to these yes
sells and all of their earnings
since they left the surplus fleet
are the property of the United
States.
13 Already Seized.
Thirteen of the vessels have
actually been seized by the
United States Government dur
ing the past Is months when they
put into American ports. The
other three are tabled for seizure
at any time they touch the
United States.
Mr.. OnaSSis makes his head
quarters in the former casino at
Monte Carlo, which he bought
several years ago as an Office.
However, he is now in New York,
and the Justice Department said
the $40 million recovery COM
plant was personally served on
him there.

U. 5. Atoms Program
Wins Unanimously
In U. n. Committee
Russia voinIy Tries
To Make Agency Subject
To Big Power Veto
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. 23-The u. N. Political
Committee today unanimously
approved President Eisenhower's
atoms-for-peace plan.
This was the second unani-
nous decision by the u. N. dur
ing the current session of the
60-nation General Assembly
The U. N. previously had agreed
without a dissenting voice on a
plan Of work for the disarma-
ment commission.
The vote came after Russia
tried unsuccessfully to write into
the plan a provision making the
proposed international atomic
agency subject to the Big Power
veto.
Only the five Soviet bloc
nations supported the Russian
move and IL nations, mostly
Asians and Arabs, abstained. All
delegations, however, supported
the plan in it's entirety after
the amendments were defeated.
Main points of the plan as
approved:
l. Gives U. N. approval to the
establishment of an international
agency to further the peaceful
uses of atomic energy. This was
first proposed by President
Eisenhower last December s.
2. Calls upon the U. N. sec
retary general to arrange for an
international scientific confer
ence on the peaceful uses of
atomic energy before next
August.
3. Leaves for further negotia-
ton the relationship between

Reds Sentence
Capital Colonel
On Charge
Airmon Shot Down
In Koreu Reported
Given 10 Years

An Air Force colonel from
Washington was believed to be
included today among 13 air.
men which a Red China broad
cast said had been sentenced
from four years to life imprison-
ment on espionage charges.
The Washingtonian, Col. John
Knox Arnold, jr., was named in
the Peiping broadcast as leader
of one of two groups the Red
Chinese accused of "jeopardizing
the security of China" the As
sociated Press reported.
Col. Arnold has been held by
the Chinese Communists since
his B-29 was believed shot down
In North Korea January 13,
1858, during the Korean war.
Today's radio report said that
in all, % persons had been sem
fenced by the military tribunal
of the Supreme Peoples Court
to imprisonment or death, on
charges of being. American
spies" It specified that 13
members Of the Air Force would
receive the prison terms. Those
sentenced to die were reported
to be Chinese. y.
Col. Arnold's sentence was
given in one broadcast account
as 10 years.
Others Sentenced.
Under Col. Arnold, the radio
said, was Maj. William H. Bau-
mer, 80. of Lewisburg, Pa. de-
scribed as the operations officer
of the 91st Strategic Reconnais-
sance Squadron of the United
States Far East Air Force. He
was aboard the doWned bomber.
One account gave his sentence
as eight years.
Peiping said the second group
included John Thomas Downey,
alias Jack Donovan, "a, of Con-
necticut, and Richard George
Fecteau, n, Of Massachusetts.
They were described as special
agents Of the Central Intelligence
Agency"
Details of the trials and loca-
ton Of the court were not given
in the broadcasts, monitored in
London and Tokyo.
After the lost bomber incident,
the Communists charged the
airmen with flying over neutral
territory. It is believed the Reds
either shot down the plane or
forced it to land on Communist
soil north Of the Yalu River.
Called Political Prisoners"
Last August, the Defense De-
partment charged the Com
munists had listed Is airmen as
political prisoners" instead of
prisoners of war as a ruse to
dodge repatriation terms of the
Korean armistice. The Defense
Department said the men never
were given the opportunity to be
repatriated.
Relatives Of Col. Arnold, a ma
tive of Washington and a West
Point graduate, were encouraged
earlier this month by letters
from the officer indicating he was
in good health and keeping
cheerful.
One of the letters was ad-
dressed to a brother, DR.. Robert
Arnold of 8709 Sundale drive,
Silver Spring, Md, and two to
Col. Arnold's wife, who for the
past year has been living with
their four children in Mont
gomery, Ala.
DR.. Arnold is a civilian staff
member Of the Navy's Operations
Evaluation Group at the Penta-
gon.
Col. Arnold is the son of the
late Mrs. Jessie Scott Arnold of
Washington. He was graduated
from Western High School.
The Arnolds have three sons,
John Knox Arnold, jr.. II;
Charles Mark Arnold, IA, and
James Scott Arnold. 10. and a
daughter, Sally Ewell, 5.

DR.. Homer Hoyt. Chicago land
economist. warns, however, that
to keep their taxes down, the
two counties will have to COM
pete with downtown Washing
ton for business.
Key Recommendations.
Top recommendations of the
report are:
Expanded commercial and in.
dustrial development on a GO
slow basis.
Promotion of light industry
with well-paid technical en-
ployeS.
Creation Of at least one re-
gional shopping center-includ-
ing a major department store
lin each county that will pro-
vide one-stop shopping.
Encouragement of any in
dustry that pays less than an
average $500 a month to its
employees as they would be un-
able to carry their tax load.
Construction of homes valued
at at least $1,000 in Montgom-
cry and S13.600 in Prince
Georges. This is the break
even point where cost of services
provided equal the total tax.
Even without maximum COM
mercial expansion, DR.. Hoyt
said, Montgomery can maintain
its 1858 tax rate if high-valued
apartments and homes continue
to be built.
Prince Georges, If it achieves
maximum industrial and COM
mercial development, would face
a tax rate Of only $2.36 per $100
Of assessed valuation in 1860.
But DR.. Hoyt estimated it would
dip to the 1858 rate ($2.l3) in
1880.
Population Rise Forecast.
If that county enjoys only
minimum growth. though. the
rate would go up to a high of
$2.49 in 1860, dropping to $3.50
In 1880. DR.. Hoyt forecast.
The report, intended to tell
the two counties how to plan
their future as a guide in zon-
ing. planning, assessment and
fiscal policies, was authorized
in early 1853 by the governing
bodies of the two counties and
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Forecasting a rise of / million
in the population of the entire
Metropolitan Area over the next
quarter century, DR.. Hoyt esti-
mated Montgomery would reach
45G,000-as compared to 248,.
600 last January-and Prince
Georges 100000. against 283,000
this year.
The total Metropolitan Area
population last January, DR..
Hoyt said, was 1,788,000, "of
which $4,000 or 52.3 per cent
was outside of the District Of
Columbia"
DR.. Hoyt based his estimates

Freedom is the only atmos-
phere in which science can
thrive, DR.. p. E. Debye of Co
lumbia University. Nobel prize
winner in chemistry. told the

its banquet at the Shoreham last
night.
Progress is largely dependent
on research aimed at no par
ticular practical ends and ad-
vances by unexpected discoveries
which come only in an all
embracing scientific atmosphere.
Often the same discovery may
come quite independently in
three or four places almost
simultaneously, he said.
Human intelligence all around
the world is about the same" he
declared. "The more restric-
tions the more intelligent peo-
pie must be who apply them"

DR.. A. F. Amaldi of the Uni

for an all-European high energy
laboratory which will be set up
near Geneva with an atom
smashing machine, a protosyn-
chrotron, capable of producing
streams of particles with ener-
gies of about 25 billion electron
volts. Twelve western European
governments are cooperating in
this enterprise, he said, and con-
struction is expected to start
next summer. The atom smasher
probably will be in operation in
six or seven years.
One absolute requirement in
obtaining the consent and finan-
cial support of the IL govern
ments, he said was there be no
secrecy whatsoever.
