Brucker Lauds
9 Hostages

Secretary of the Army Will
ber M. Brucker last night
praised the conduct of nine
soldiers who are being held as
political hostages" in Com
munist East Germany.
Secretary Brucker said the
soldiers, whose helicopter in
advertently crossed the border
in the Soviet zone of Germany
on June Z, have maintained an
exemplary standard of con-
duct"
"They have and continue to
exert that admirable degree of
courage and self-discipline
which BELTS q member of the
American armed forces" he
added.
His remarks came at the
closing banquet of the 18th an
nual reunion of the 30th In
fantry Division Association
held this week at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel. Some 300 per-
sons attended.
The Secretary of the Army
said that the men are regarded
as political hostages"
"ThiS line Of reasoning" he
said, sis incompatible with ex-
isting international agreements
applicable to the area"
He also said the captive SOL
diers obviously are familiar with
the Armed Forces Code of Con-
duct promulgated after the Ko-
rean War in order to harden
American captives against the
threats and Establishments Of
Communist captors.
THE Army is indeed proud
Of the exemplary standard OF
conduct maintained by the nine
members Of this service" he
concluded.
He assured the former SOL
diers at the convention that
''the United States Government
is continuing its efforts and
hopes to have the men free
soon"
During the ceremonies, Rob-
ert Valeur, Minister Of the
French Embassy, presented the
Croix de Guerre to the 3Oth
Infantry, Division Major Gen.
Leland S. Hobbs, commander
accepted the medal for the
division.

Mrs. Ducray also lost II Of

Mrs. Ducray was charged
last May with failing to care
sufficiently for the dogs. which
included Russian wolfhounds,
French poodles, huskies and
Pomeranians, after neighbors
and county officials complained.
At that time, an official of
the Animal Rescue League
moved IL dogs, described as
"emaciated," to a veterinarian
for care pending court action.
Mrs. Paul Twyne of the
County Animal Rescue League
testified yesterday Mrs. Ducray
had told her on June 7 "she
had not eaten in four days
and couldn't be expected to
feed the dogs under the cir
cumstances."
Mrs. Twyne told Judge j.
Mason Grove it would take
from $3.50 to 5000 a month and
three or four persons to tend
all the dogs Mrs. Ducray kept
in her small, four-room bunga-
low.
In tears, Mrs. Ducray took
the stand in defense and plead

them. They're all I have,

Summing up testimony to
date, Representative Williams
told Mr.. Goldfine: 1T is per-
fectly obvious to me that you
did receive preferential treat
ment at the hands of the agen-
cies"-the Federal Trade Com
mission on wool labelling vio-
lations and the Securities and
Exchange Commission on fail
ure to file required reports.
Mr.. Williams implied a con-
nection between this favored
treatment and Mr.. Goldfine's
friendship with Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Adams, who has accepted
gifts and free hospitality from
Mr.. Goldfine, has acknowledged
expressing interest in his
friends troubles with the agen-
cies.
Chairman Harris agreed that
the record shows preferential
treatment Of Mr.. Goldfine, and
added that the hearings have
developed conflicts of testi-
mony. He presumably referred
to Mr.. Goldflne's denials of
charges by John Fox, a Boston
f1nancier.
Mr.. Goldf1ne yesterday de-
nounced as "a contemplate
lie" Mr.. Fox's testimony that
he (Goldf1ne) had boasted OF
having Mr.. Adams in his
pocket, and had told of buying
a house in Washington for the
presidential assistant.
Rejects 20 Questions
Yesterdays tense hearing
was highlighted by Mr.. Gold
fines refusal to answer %
questions and the subcommit-
tees painstaking efforts to lay
the basis for contempt action
Chairman Harris told re-
porters "the basis was very
well laid" for a contempt cita-
ton if the subcommittee de-
cides to proceed.
In an effort to comply with
court decisions, Mr.. Harris
read a long legal statement ex-
planning to Mr.. Goldfine why
the questions were pertinent
and must be answered. He en-
phasized the subcommittee

about abuses in order to rec

Before the hearing began, the
subcommittee nailed down one
loose board by serving a SUBJ
poena on Mr.. Goldfine, who had
been testifying voluntarily. The
subpoena dropped to the floor
when it was thrust at Mr.. Gold

Mr.. Murphy observed that

Soviet performance "is difficult
to reconcile with the frequent
Soviet protestations of a de-
sire for better understanding
and relaxation of tension"

An indication that tn e
Kremlin may intend to use the
nine American hostages in
East Germany to obtain the
release Of four children from
the custody of the State of
Illinois was also provided by
Ambassador Menshikov.
After Mr.. Murphy's appeal
for the release of the nine men
downed in the American hell
copter, Ambassador Menshi-
kov renewed his March appeal
for the release of four chill
dren of dual nationality whom
a court in Illinois has refused
to turn over to their Soviet

ruled that the children could
not accompany their parents

evidence on these points:
Mr.. Goldfie borrowed and
failed to repay $104,973 from
his Boston Port Development
Co. between l945 and 1854.
Other individuals borrowed
and failed to repay an ad-
ditional $200,711 from the
company.
A reserve fund for the total
amount-$305, ,684-was set UP
to handle these loans as bad
debts.
The company forgave $67.S0O
in interest due on a third
mortgage held on one Of Mr.
Goldfne's buildings.
Twenty checks totaling $54,-

this sum was a $4,000 check

Mr.. Lishman implied that

made without authorization by
the company's board of direc-

as insulting" Mr.. Lishman's
suggestion that he had tapped

that an Intentional, premedi-
tated violation occurred" the
note emphasized. ITO suggest
that a slow. four-engine, pro-
pellor-type, unarmed aircraft
would attempt to violate a
heavily-defended foreign area
is preposterous."
The American note disclosed
that Soviet fighters fired on the
numbering" transport after the
pilot had lowered the landing
gear, in an obvious gesture of
peaceful intent. This is the
language Of the United States
protest:
IAN unarmed C-118 trans
port-type aircraft, while on a
routine flight on the established
commercial air route to Tehran
inadvertently crossed the Soviet
frontier near Yerevan owing to
circumstances beyond its con-
troll. Following interception by
Soviet fighter aircraft which
fired q burst of the wing of
the United States transport, the
American aircraft lowered its
landing gear, indicating inno-
cent intent. In spite of this
action, the Soviet fighters shot
directly at the transport, setting
1t af1re.
Fire Traps Four
AFTER five of the crew had
parachuted from the transport.
the four remaining crew mem
bers, whose exit was prevented
by fire, endeavored to land the
transport. The Soviet fighters
made no attempt to point out
a safe landing area to the
burning aircraft.
While the C-118 was on its
final approach to an emergency
landing, the Soviet fighters
made another firing run on
the crippled transport. Certain
members Of the crew were bril-
tally mistreated by the popu-
lace upon landing"
State Department Press Of
Ger Lincoln White told news
men later that there is an
international code of conduct
for forcing down suspicious
aircraft.
"The normal procedure" Mr..
White said, "is for the inter-
ceptor to fly in front of the
plane and dip and rise, and
then take of on a level course
in front of the plane, so the
plane which has inadvertently
entered the territory (of an
other country may follow to
a safe landing"
According to the State De-
partment's information, the
jet-f1ghter MICS which forced
the slow moving American
transport down never led its
victim, but criss-crossed the
plane and opened fire on it

tinued, when the numbering

He said he would not rec

But if there is to be a tax
cut, he recommended splitting

lowering the rate from 20 per

A leading economist said to-
day he does not, believe the
proposed small increase in Gov
eminent spending and a mod
crate relaxation in credit policy
will be enough to halt the cur
rent recession.
Gerhard Colin, chief econ
omist Of the National Planning
Association. explained that the
increase in defense contracts
planned for the first six months
of this year would merely off,
set the drop in the last six
months Of 1857. Defense con-
tracts for fiscal 1858. he added,
would be about the same as
those for fiscal 1857 and 1856.
Mr.. Colin testified before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee. He expressed doubt
that temporary increases in de-
tense contracts would stimulate
a business upturn which would
produce the 81 billion more in
