Savings-Loan
Aide Indicted
In Mail Fraud
Maryland Firm
Made False Claims
Grand Jury Finds
BY ROBERT GRUENBERG
Star Staff Writer


A Federal grand jury in Bal
timore today returned a mail
fraud indictment against James
L. Kane, A, identified as the
secretary treasurer of the
Armed Forces Savings & Loan
Association, Inc, Of Prince
Georges and Montgo cry
Counties.
The firm, which the indict-
ment says is also known as the
United Armed Forces Savings
& Loan Association, was Or
ganized in September, 1860.
Between December l, 1860, and
October 18. 1861, Mr.. Kane
used the mails to defraud, the
indictment says.
According to the indictment,
Mr.. Kane obtained savings "by
means of false and fraudulent
prtenSes, representations and
promises, well knowing {.
(these) would be false when
made"
Statements Cited
The grand jury said that
Mr.. Kane made the following
false statements:
l. That Armed Forces was
under the supervision of the
Maryland State Department of
Assessments and Taxation.
2. That Armed Forces had a
5 per cent dividend rate.
3. That armed forces funds
were invested in real estate
loans-when actually it had one
second mortgage of approx
mately $4,000 which the asso-
citation got from Mr.. Kane in
exchange for capital stock. In
addition, said the indictment,
none of the firms monies was
invested in loans secured by
real estate and the firm made
no loans or other investments
until June, 1861.
Only One Insured
4. That title to properties in
which the savings association
would invest its money would
be guaranteed by a leading
title company.
Actually, said the indictment,
armed forces made only two
loans, acquiring title insurance
for only one of them.
S. That all of its mortgages
would be insured. None of the
mortgages was insured as to
principal or interest, the indict-
ment said.
The Indictment was based on
an investigation by Postal In
spector Alton j. Murray, work.
ing under the direction of As
sistant United States Attorneys
Arnold M. Weiner and Stephen
H. Sachs. All three testified
during a one-hour appearance
before the December grand
jury earlier today.
Leaflet Attached
The indictment carried with
it a one-page leaflet which it
said was used by armed forces
to further the alleged mail
fraud scheme.
The leaflet listed armed
forces officers at 1854 Suitland
road, in the Suitland shopping
center, and at 12345 Georgia
avenue in the Glenmont Shop
ping Center Arcade, Wheaton.
The leaflet promised a 5 per
cent dividend for ordinary saw
lngS accounts
A total of 5A per cent
emphasized in capital letters
was promised those persons
making an initial deposit of
$500 and leaving the money
with the association for three
years.
The leaflet also said the firm
is qualified to receive" military
personnel allotments. The leaf
let had been sent to a lieutenant
colonel stationed at Fort George
G. Meade, Md, and it was this
mailing on which the indict-
ment was returned.
The statements which the
grand jury said were fraudulent
are based on the association S
advertising in its leaflet.
The arraignment of Mr.. Kane
was set for January IL in Fed

The presence of so many countries would not

UN experts believe it would also cut down Soviet

Why KIsrssshcJbev might accept
But there is one big stumbling block in the way
of UN branch Office - the Soviet Union. The
UN could hardly move to West Berlin over Soviet
opposition. This would simply intensity the Cold
War and defeat Mayor Brandt's basic aim.
But Khrushchev himself recently hoated the

idea of moving the entire UN headquarters to West
Berlin. He attached very high price tag - with
drawal of American British and French troops from
the city. This would mean Withdrawing the only
forces which have enabled the free part of Berlin to
remain free in a Communist sea - llO miles behind
the Iron Curtain 1t would mean surrendering West
Berlin and the entire UN headquarters to the tender
mercies of the Soviet Union and the three Western
powers will not even consider the idea.
However, Khrushchev has left the door open
to compromise. For example, he also recently men,
toned the idea of moving part as distinct from the

Soviet Frees
Spy Couple

MOSCOW, May 20 (AP).-
Mr.. and Mrs. Adolf Werner of
West Germany. imprisoned last
autumn on charges of spying
for the United States, were
handed over to West German
Embassy officials today.
The middle-age couple was
taken to Moscow Airport to
board a plane for Copenhagen.
They spoke briefly to news
men before leaving. I'VE were
treated correctly" said Mr..
Werner, a shoe salesman from
Karlsruhe.
Both appeared in good
health.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
told the West German Embassy
yesterday that it had released
the couple on humanitarian
grounds.
He indicated that it expected
the West German government
to reciprocate by releasing v.
A. Pripoltsev, an official of the
Soviet Trade Mission in Co.
logne. He was sentenced last
February to four years in
prison on espionage charges.
The Werners declined to say
where they had been i'm
prisoned.
Their release was similar to
that of American U-2 pilot
Francis Gary Powers last Feb
ruary. who was traded for con-
victed Soviet Spy Col. Rudolph
Abel.
The WernerS were arrested
near Kiev last fall while on a
motor trip through the Soviet
Union. They were accused of
photographing and m akin g
notes on military installations.
A military court sentenced
the husband to Is years in
prison and the wife to seven
years. Mr.. Werner testified
that he had been enlisted for
espionage work by U. s. intel
ligence agents in West Ger

Senote-Possed Works Bill
Faces House Controversy

Of South Dakota, cited the farm
bill passed by the Senate last
week and this public works bill
as examples Of a controlled
economy He said the stock
market trend will not be re-
versed until Congress stands up
for private enterprise and a
balanced budget.
But Senator Kerr deplored
this pesSimistic outlook and
said the future Of the country
depends on improving the
economic position Of the aver
age worker. He defended the
ability Of the Government to
finance this public works pro-
gram.
Answering Senator Mundt,
Senator Kerr said: "I am not
so sure but what the stock mar
ket reaction is a result of the
unemployment in the country"
Senator Miller. Republican OF
Iowa, said that if the stock
market keeps going down I'VE
are going to have more unem-
ployment."
Senator Javits took a differ
ent view. He said the stock
market would not go up or down
because Of what happens to
the public works bill, but called
on Congress to tackle some CT
the more important economic
issues facing it, including taxes.
He said Congress should let
business know that it is going
to take a hand along with the
President in directing the pri-
vate economy.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen twitted the Kennedy
administration for having
claimed that it got a far-reach-
ing program through Congress
last year on housing, depressed
areas and other job-creating
measures, and said he had ex-
pected these bills would take
care Of much unemployment.
He said he hoped the country
is not heading for another pc
riod Of WPA programs.
Called Good Bill"
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield called the public
works measure as finally
drafted "a good bill" because it
is an accommodation of differ
ent viewpoints.
The Senate rejected attempts
by Republican Senators Case Of
South Dakota and Cooper Of
Kentucky to put through sub
stitutes. Senator Case proposed
a two-year program Of not more
than $500 million, and Senator
Cooper advocated a total of
$3.50 million. with the money

Precedents Reviewed

/
The Judgment reviewed prec-
edents from a dozen countries
establishing the right Of ma
tions to forcibly bring to trial
persons accused of such crimes
Basically, the high court
ruled that as the efficient
technician OF the GeStapo
branch that sent Jews to their
death by the millions Eich-
mann had violated the inter-
national law on genocide es-
tablished at the Nuremberg war
crimes trials after World War
II.
"Genocide has been declared
by So nations to be an inter-
national crime" said the court,
citing a United Nations decla-
ration on genocide in 1949.
The Judgment declared that
Israel was the logical state in
which to try Eichmann. Most
of the witnesses and documents
submitted in the trial, includ-
ing those used by the defense,
are in Israel, the justices noted.
Moreover, the justices point
ed out, no state has challenged
the right of Israel to try Eich-
mann and no state has asked
for him to be extradicted to
face trial elsewhere.
Not only are all the crimes
attributed to the appellant in
ternational IN character, but
they are so evil they shook the
international community to its
very foundations. The state Of
Israel acted on the principle OF
the universally of these crimes
and was an agent for the in
Iternational community in
bringing the appellant to JUS
tice," the judgment said.
The justices then turned to
the defense contention that
Eichmann was brought to Is
rael against his will.
Argentine Waiver Cited
Relying on a long array Of
British and American prece-
ldents, we reached the conclu-
sion that in the absence of ar
extradition treaty, the court
will not investigate the cir
cumstances in which the ac-
cused is seized and brought tc
juctice."
The Judgment cited the
agreement between Argentina
and Israel in 1860 in which Ar
Igentina waived claims for the
return Of Eichmsnn.
The court completely rejected
the defense contention that
Eichmann could not be held re-
sponsible for carrying out. acts
of a sovereign state.
"Heinous acts such as those
committed by the Nazis cannot
be defended by applying the
law of sovereignty and those
who carry them out cannot hide
behind the collective responsi.
bility of the state" the JUS
tices said.

Ian Of Arkansas. who had vo-
ted against it, announced they
had pairs with two absent
DemocratS-Senator Long Of
Missouri and Magnuson Of
Washington. This made it nee.
essary for Senator'S Cannon
and Mcclellan to withdraw
their votes.
"a pair is an agreement be-
tween two Senators on oppo-
site sides Of a question to pro-
tect each other by not votine
if one is absent.)
Stand on Final Vote
On final passage five Repub.
licans joined 80 Democrats ir
supporting the bill, while eight
Democrats swung over to line
up with "A Republicans against
it.
The five Republicans favor.
ing the bill were Senators Cliff.
ford Case Of New Jersey, Coop
er and Morton of Kentucky
Fong of Hawaii and Javits Of
New York.
The eight Democrats who
opposed it were Senator's Harry
F. Byrd and Robertson Of Vir-
gfnia. Holland of Florida, Jor-
dan Of North Carolina, Lausche
Of Ohio, Mcclellan Of Arkansas
Proxmire of Wisconsin and
Thurmond of South Carolina.
The Senate accepted an
amendment by Senator Prouty
Republican of Vermont, placing
a 80 per cent limit on the
amount that could be allocated
to streets, sewers and other
community-facility-type prof.
ects. The rest would 60 to
larger Federal programs such
as river, harbor, flood control
and public buildings.
The bill, which was steered
through the Senate by Senator
Kerr, Democrat of Oklahoma
was a compromise in which the
administration abandoned its
original request for $2.6 billion
of which 50 billion would have
been standby authority for use
in case Of a new recession.
The compromise also aban-
doned an original administra-
ton plan under which the
President could have taken
funds away from five agencies
to speed up public works prof.
ects. This provision was at
tackled vigorously by Republi-
cans and conservative Demo-
Gratis because the agencies af-
fected included the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp. whic h
insures bank deposits; the Fed

ance Corp, and the Interna-

Defense Contentious

DNANAo~ SOAAS~ASAOS
In his original defense oi
Eichmann and again in his ap-
peal to the Supreme Court ir
March, Servatius challenged
Israel's right to try Eichmanr
with arguments that:
/. 1t never has been univer-
sally accepted that one ma
ton can try a foreign national
for crimes allegeldly committed
outside it's own borders.
2. The law under which he
was tried was enacted after the
alleged crimes were committed
3. Eichmann was kidnapped
from Argentina and illegally
brought to Israel for trial.
The high court rejected these
challenges, declaring: Grimes
with which the appellant is
charged are within the jurisdic-
ton of the Israel court. 1t is
clear that all acts of perSecu-
ton, deportation and murder in
which the accused took part
constitute war crimes within
the meaning Of the Nazi and
Nazi collaborators' law under
which he was tried here"
