Health Of All
Appears to
Be Good

BERLIN. Sept. 5 a. The
Soviet Union today released
three Americans who have spent
years in captivity. They were
turned over to United States
military police here.
The Army identified them as
Wilfred C. Cumish, 80. of Ames-
bury, Mass, an Army private
reported missing in Vienna more
than seven years ago: Murray
Fields, So, of Brooklyn. N. Y.
who disappeared from a con-
Istabulary unit in West Germany
lin 1913, and Frederick Charles
Hopkins, a civilian about whom
the United States State Depart
ment says it has no information.
Fields, however. identified
himself as Corpl. Michael Fem
gersch. He had been carried on
the Army rolls previously under
the other name.
In Rowley, Mass. Cumish's
sister, Mrs. Burton Martin, said
the correct spelling of his name
lis Kumis. She said she had be-
lieved him dead until she re-
lceived a card from him in June
from a Russian prison camp.
Kumis' mother, Mary. died
two years after he disappeared.
He is divorced. His former wife.
Mrs. Preston Lane, and their
two children. now live IN
IPlaistow, N. H.
In New York Mrs. Herman
y. Bales, sister of Fields. said
her family will believe the good
news when We see him." She
said they had postcard in July
from Fields. His mother and
father live in Jamaica, Queens.
They were overjoyed at their
sons release.
The three men were sent to
the Army hospital here for
checkups Immediately after their
registration at military police
headquarters.
Appear in Good Health
An Army spokesman said all
appeared to be in good health,
but that all three would be held
incommunicado until it is decid-
ed what action to take against
the two soldiers, both Of whom
are listed as deSerters. The
spokesman said he had no infor-
nation on the Hopkins case.
The Russians announced on
August 20 that they woulds re-
lease Cumish and Fields after
the United States Embassy had
determined from other returnees
that they actually were in cap
tivity. At the same time, the
Russians said they would hand
over Hopkins.
Earlier this year the Soviets
released two soldiers, William
T, Marchuk and William A. YER
dine, and civilian, John H. No
BILE of Detroit. who had been in
slave labor camps in the Arctic.
/ Marchuk was convicted Of
desertion and sentenced to IL
years. Verdine was acquitted
and fined for unofficial absence.
Others to Be Released
Another soldier, Homer Cox.
who returned in December 1858.
after four years in a slave labor
camp. never was tried. He was
released from the Army and
later died in Oklahoma.
The Russians have indicated
they soon also will release in
Berlin 4 Danes, 8 Dutchmen
and % Frenchmen captured
during the war when they were
serving in German army units.
An Army laison group picked
up the three men today from
the Russians Karlhorsts bar
racks in Berlin Immediately

FINDERS

FINDERS
Two small boys were en-
ployed to clean out an old hen
house on a farm occupied by
William Roberts, but which
had previously been owned
and in the possession of num-
erous other persons. While so
engaged they dug up an old
ruSt-eaten tin can continuing
a number of musty and parti-
ally decayed tobacco bags fill
ed with $1,000 worth OF gold
coins.
The money was buried four
inches beneath the debris and
dirt in the henhouse. The
ground around it was quite
solid, as if it had not been dis
surbed recently. The BUILDING;
itself was old, and looked as if
it had not been cleaned out for
some time. The boys, at the
request of Rogers, handed this
discovery over TO Rogers. May
the boys in a legal proceeding
recover TIC money from Rog-
crS?
This was an actual case de-
cidCd in Oregon some years
ago. The Supreme Court of
Oregon hcld that the boys. as
finders, were entitled to keep
the money as against all per-
sons other than the rightful
owner. The fact that the mon
ey was found on the premises
of Roberts, or that the boys
were employed by him at the
time, in no way affected their
rights to the same.
The facts CT the particular
case were sufficient to indi-
cate that Roberts himself lad
not placed the money in he
hcnhouse.
A painter was employed to
redcCoratc several rooms in a
hotel. In the course of his
work. he found it necessary TO
life up Il rug on the floor. Urd-
or this rug he found S76O in
twcnty-dollar bills. The money
was entirely of largc-Size bills
which had been called in by
the government sixteen ycal S
earlier. The painter turned the
money over to the manager of
the hotel for the purpose of
locating the owner. Tho owner
has never bcen located. May
the painter recover the money
from the hotel?
The Supreme Court OF Min
nesota held in l947 that the
painter, as the finder, had the
superior right 10 the money.
He was permitted to recover
the money from the hotel.
