NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-Customs

woman accused Of smuggling
more than 100000 worth OF
diamonds into this country has
admitted she travelled under the
name of her identical twin sister.
James Page. supervising Gus
toms agent in New York, said
the woman, who first gave her
name as Mrs. Esther Katz, told
two of his agents yesterday she
really was Mrs. Ruth Hacohn,
%, mother of two children.
He said she also told them the
four packages containing the
diamonds found hidden in her
clothing were given to her in
Israel; not in London, as she had
said before.
Mr.. Page sent his agents to
question Mrs. Hacohn after a
report from Tel Aviv said Mrs.
Katz, wife of an airline en-
ploye, still was at home in that
city.
Israeli police learned Mrs.
Hacohn. presumably to save air.

Annuities inadequate

Recently The Star published
an article under the caption
"Liberalized Pension Plan for
Congress Voted by House
without discussion or opposition.
Under this bill members of Con-
gress can retire at SIS after 10
years service, with a reduced
annuity, or enjoy full benefits on
retiring at so, after 10 years
service. And there are other
benefits under this plan-all to
be enjoyed without paying into
the Retirement Fund any more
than the members now contrib
ute, which is 6 per cent.
Now, let us reminisce! Civil
Service annuitants will remem-
Der how former Chairman Tom
Murray of the Committee on
Post Office and Civil Service

will also recall that former
Chairman Ramspeck of the Civil

on several occasions on the SUBJ
ject of the actuarial unSound-
ness of the retirement fund and
said he would not approve the

ago that the House upheld a

Case of Arthur Dean

Your February 9 editorial
praising Arthur H. Dean and
criticizing those who think that
this aggressive anti-Communist
administration should have a
better man representing us in
our conferences with Red China
than Dean is a little difficult to
understand.
You pass over very lightly his
association with the Institute Of
Pacific Relations and his state
ments on our future relationship
with Red China. He indicated
that recognition of Red China
in the future would be good
thing. Is that the thinking of
the present administration on

Contributor

In her letter to The Star, the
lady who signed herself Marine
Wife" suggested that talk with
some of Col. Schwable's subordi-
mates. She ended her letter with
the question: What contribu-
ton have you made, Mr.. Cleve-
land?"
AS an old-time Marine, I have
every reason to believe that it
will be Col. Schwable'S privilege
to parade not only men who have
served with him, but "also those
men who were informed with Col.
Schwable and did not confess
germ warfare" when the Marine
Corps holds a public hearing on
the case. In other words. Col.
Schwable is to have his day in
court. And I say again, the I'M
fortunate fact that he found his
situation hopeless does not alter
the fact that he Succumbed to
the diabolical treatment of the
Reds. According to my under
standing, his inability to with
stand and survive the diabolical
third-degree methods of the
Reds caused him to give aid and
comfort to the enemy. believe
that such misconduct justifieS
the infection of such punishment
as a general court-martial may
direct.
AS Marine Wife" should know.
every former Marine is proud of
the Marine Corps. 1 first enlisted
in the Corps on December %.
1924. I was honorably discharged
on April %, 1888. I served on &C
tive duty in the Marine Corps
Reserve from April 3, 1914, to
March 7, 1945, when 1 was again
honorably discharged. served
with the American National Red
Cross military and naval well
fare work. from June, 1945. to
October, 1916. AS a career Fed
eral employe, I have served our
Government in excess of Is
years. Unfortunately, Marine
Wife's'' statement that Col.
Schwable has served the Marine
Corps and his country for Is
years" is incorrect. Col. Schwable
served the Marine Corps and
his country we'll from June 6,
1929. to date of his capture by.
and capitulation to the diaboli-
cal third degree methods of the
Reds. o. E. Cleveland.
Just another Marine wife
writing to thank Col. Frank
Schwable for the endless hours
he spent with his men teaching
them how to be good officers
and flyers. I have always adj
mired Col. Schwable because he
was known to Marine aviation
as a flying colonel" It's time
the American people kept faith
with their men when they are
captured; time to be glad Col.
Schwable withstood his torture.
His merits far outweigh any
germ warfare confession He is
one of the most patriotic men
of the United States and has
served his country completely.
The wife of a military flyer
knows. as no other person can,
just how very much flyer gives
to his country. Thank you, Col.
Schwable, for once upon a time
eight years ago inspiring great
respect in a Marine flyer I
know so very well. To Beverly,
your wife, l say thanks too, for
giving me courage now to see
that my flyer is brought home
safely from Korea. We. too,
have the love and faith for this
country like l know you both
have had. Mrs. Jon O'GiSh.
