By the Associated Press
LONDON, July 17.—The British
Admiralty released today, seven
years after the event, the full epic
story of the British and French
evacuation from the bombed, bloody
beaches of Dunkerque between May
26 and June 4, 1940.
Admiral Alexander Ramsay dis
closed in his dispatch, written on
June 18, 1940, that of the 176 Brit
ish ships used in the operation,
thirty-five were sunk and forty-two
others damaged. Those ships, rang
ing from destroyers and hospital
ships to trawlers and drifters, were
supplemented by approximately 700
“little ships” which put out from
British fishing ports to rescue the
battered troops.
Three - hundred-and-thirty thou
sand of the British troops who had
been driven out of Europe by the
victorious Germans were brought
back to Britain. The Admiralty,
Admiral Ramsay wrote, had expect
ed at the utmost to rescue 45,000.
19 French Vessels Lost
The French Navy, too, suffered
heavy losses among the 196 ships
which it flung into the task of
evacuating French troops from the
beaches. Nineteen of them were
sunk and two others damaged, but
they brought 20,525 French troops
to Britain. In all. 123.095 French
troops were transported across the
Channel in British and French
ships. , .. .
Through “intensive air attack,
mine-laying by plane, action by
motor torpedo boats, coast artillery
gunfire and submarine operations,
the Germans tried to block the
evacuation, Admiral Ramsay report
ed. All their operations succeeded
in part, but the air attacks were
the worst, he said.
“Heavy” air attacks started on
May 29. “From then onward, the
scale and vigor of the air attack
increased, and during June 1 all
ships in Dunkerque, off the beaches
or in the approach channels, were
subjected every two hours to an
unprecedented scale of attack by
aircraft in such numbers that the
Royal Air Force was unable to
deal with the situation,” Admiral
Ramsay wrote.
A footnote reported that the
Royal Air Force destroyed 262 Ger
man planes over the beaches be
tween May 26 and June 4.
Surf Hampers Operation
The actual evacuation started on
May 26 with the signal: “Please
send every available craft to
beaches east of Dunkerque.” Ger
man armor, it was noted, was then
in operation to the south of the
beaches.
“From signals received, it appear
ed the situation was desperate, that
little could be lifted direct from
the port of Dunkerque, and that
the maximum effort must be made
from the beaches,” Admiral Ram
say wrote.
On May 28, a “moderate surf”
reduced the rate of embarkation,
“rendering the whole operation slow
and difficult.”
“The considerable alarm as to the
immediate safety of the British
Expeditionary Force, felt during
the evening and early night of
May 28, which called all available
resources to be immediately con
centrated on the French coast,
eased during the 29th,” Admiral
Ramsay reported.
But he noted that the destroyer
Wakeful, laden with troops, was
torpedoed, and all the troops on
board went down with the* ship,
and that later the destroyer Graf
ton was torpedoed. Other destroyers
were attacked by dive-bombers.
At about 4 p.m. on May 29, a two-
hour dive-bombing attack on Dun
kerque harbor forced the complete
cessation of embarkations of troops,
but the operation was resumed at
dusk. That air attack, however,
blocked the harbor, and all troops
thereafter were loaded from the
beaches, wading out into the surf.
Hospital Ships Attacked
On June 2, this signal came
from the beaches: “Wounded situa
tion acute and hospital ships should
enter during day. Geneva Conven
tion will be honorably observed, it
is felt, and the enemy will refrain
from attacking.” So two hospital
ships were started out and both,
Admiral Ramsay reported, were
attacked by Junkers planes. One,
tbe Paris, was “badly damaged”
and it subsequently sank, “and
¥ attempt to evacuate the
wounded by hospital carrier from
uunkerque was brought to nought.”

U.S. Policy for Zone Hit
The Political Bureau of the
French Communist party took an
other tilt at “American reaction”
in the communique issued after its
regular weekly meeting yesterday
which attacked the new Washing

Government favoring an early re
vival of German industry.
The Political Bureau, which

contradiction with the new control “the hew directives of American re
action which aim at the revival of
German war industry and the liqui
dation of the reparations policy,
which is equivalent to the im
periling of the reconstruction- and
security of France.”
As a reply to the new American
policy concerning Germany, the
French Communist leaders urged
“the necessity for our country to
resume without delay a foreign po
licy aiming at its own defense and
security through a just settlement
of the German problem and an un

Soviet Objection
The Austrian government must
reject the view that through this
agreement Austrian independence
has been compromised and that the
relief agreement is therefore a vio
lation of the Moscow declaration.
The providing of information re
ferred to in your note is directly
concerned with relief deliveries and
in no way involves confidential re
ports and is, moreover, continually
required by all the occupation
powers. It was also, at one time,
provided to the United Nations Re
lief and Rehabilitation Administra
tion.”
T S h ^ text of , L to. ute f nant General Leon Pearson Decorated
I. V. Kourasov s objection was made
public at the same time. In ob
jecting to the paragraphs which
give the United States the right to
supervise the distribution of the
relief supplies provided for in the
agreement, General Kourasov said:
“The Soviet command makes the
Austrian government responsible
for all the consequences arising
from the acceptance of such con
ditions in connection with relief
supplies to Austria, and the viola
tion of agreements among the Allies
concerning Austria.”
He said the Soviet military com
mand “cannot recognize the legal
validity, and does not consider it is
bound, by those conditions of the
Austro-American relief agreement
. . . which are not in accord with
the Moscow declaration on Austria
and which are in contradiction with
the decision ol the four powers on
Austria.”
Leon Pearson, Paris bureau chief
of the International News Service,
received yesterday the Knight’s
Cross of the Legion of Honor from
Georges Bidault, French Foreign
Minister. Presenting toe decoration
at a brief ceremony at the Quai
d’Orsay, M. Bidault cited Mr. Pear_
son’s work as chief Paris correspon
dent of INS as an “outstanding
example of journalistic achieve
ment.”
Mr. Pearson will leave Paris
today, returning to the United
States. He had been INS bureau
chief since July, 1945. His successor
has not yet been designated.
Studying the routine, the hold-up
men laid a strategy wihch worked
perfectly. It began with the steal
ing of a taxi-cab around 9 o’clock
this morning in the Brixton section
of London, southeast of the centei
of the city.
With perfect timing, a driver in
the stolen taxi-cab cruised down
Piccadilly and drew up to the bank
just as the two messengers emerged
with their little black bag in hand.
They hailed the cab, got in and
gave the address of Warner’s office
on Wardour Street.
The driver cruised on down Pic
cadilly, turned up a side street and
started to take a roundabout way
toward Wardour Street, which is in
Soho, the heart of London’s under
world activities. The two men
started to protest when suddenly
the cab slowed to a halt and two
other men jumped in, one brand
ishing a gun.
The cab cruised on and a scuffle
started in the back in which one
of the gunmen slugged a messen
ger over the head—-“set about us”
as the messenger later put it. Back
in the heart of Soho, the cab stop
ped and the driver and the two
gunmen jumped out and got away
with the payroll satchel.
The police and a radio car rushed
to the scene as soon as a messen
ger got free and sounded a warning.
Descriptions of the hold-up men
were obtained from pedestrians who
saw the getaway, but no trace of
the men has yet been found.
Russians Also
(Continued from Page 1)
on, they were informed, have to
look to eastern Europe for resources.
In order to facilitate this trade
with eastern Europe’the Germans
were ordered to create in their
Economic Commission for the Soviet
Zone, a special Ministry of For
eign Trade. This ministry began
operating for the first time in the
past few weeks.
The Russians will continue to keep
a strict control on German in
dustry by the simple means of con
tinuing to demand a sizable share
of production as reparations for it
self and Poland.
Western Allied observers and
German economists believe that the
Russians are too optimistic in their
plans for eastern Europe. Even by
rehabilitating Germany’s capacity,
stimulating those of Poland and
Czechoslovakia, the industrial po
tential of eastern Europe will be
insufficient for prosperity, it is
thought.

Moore, commander of “Operation
Tiger,” Mr. Ben Ami insisted that
the continuation of martial con
trol was pointless.
He scoffed at the army an
nouncement that two “top-grade”
terrorists had been found in his
town, saying the army’s captives
were extremely small fry.
Meanwhile, the mandate govern
ment broadcast a message from
two members of Parliament,
Richard Crossman and Maurice
Edelman, calling on the Jewish
community to prevent the deaths
of the two missing sergeants at the
hands of Irgun. Mr. Crossman and
Mr. Edelman both have been friend
ly to Zionist aspirations and Mr.
Crossman was a member of last
year’s Anglo-American Commission.
“The kidnaping of two British
sergeants is a crime which affronts
the conscience of every decent per
son, whether Gentile or Jew,” said
Mr. Crossman and Mr. Edelman.
“If these innocent men have been
taken as hostages, the action adds
to the responsibility of those in
volved since the taking of guiltless
hostages is a barbarous action con
trary to civilized law and to human
ethics.
“The soldiers involved are the
sons of ordinary working people,

on every Jew to help in obtaining
their release and prevent the crime
from reaching a fruition which will
not only receive the condemnation
of mankind but will have disastrous
results for the cause which the
kidnapers mistakenly think they
serve.”

Trieste Letters
Pin Crimes on
Nazi General
Reiner Is Recalled to War
Trial After He Is Accused
Of Murdering Hostages
By the Associated Press
BELGRADE, July 17. — Letters
from Trieste citizens, accusing him
of war crimes, caused the recall to
the witness stand today of Lieu
tenant General Friedrich Reiner,
who is standing trial before a Lju
bljana military court.
The letters accused Reiner, a
former Gauleiter, of responsibility
for killing countless hostages, hang,
ing and burning them, and burning
down villages, while supreme Nazi
commander in the Adriatic zone in
Trieste.
On the stand, Reiner said that he
learned in Nuremberg, during the
war, that there were plans for
founding a Greater Austria and an
other, in which he alleged the Vati
can was concerned, which proposed
unification of Catholic states, in
cluding Austria, Hungary, Slovenia
and Croatia.
It was after this evidence that
the Trieste letter caused his recall.
Crimes in Venezia Giulia
Another defendant, General Jo
seph Vogt, asked Reiner whether,
as Supreme Commissioner, he knew
of Nazi crimes against the popula
tion of Venezia Giulia.
Vogt told the court that Reiner
must have been informed in ad
vance of the punitive measures to
be taken in order to sign the orders
for their execution.
The remainder of the defendants
also gave evidence before the court.
Franz Hradecky, Nazi Kreisleiter
(area leader) of northern Slovenia
and chief propaganda agent during
the Nazi occupation of Trieste, ad
mitted issuing an order for the
shooting of hostages. Walter Hoch-
steiner, Nazi party leader for north
ern Slovenia, said he had consulted
with Reiner on the decision to burn
down a Slovenian village and told
the court he knew of the shooting
of hundreds of hostages.
Disclaims Responsibility
Leo Kuss, country party leader,
declared that the shooting of hos
tages and burning of villages in his
district were the responsibility of
the men under him, at which the
court called upon Vogt, who replied
that the crimes could not have been
committed without the knowledge
and approval of the Nazi Kreis
leiter.
Reinhold Gerlach, Gestapo chief
of Litija, Slovenia, asked why he
had flogged prisoners, said: “Our
entire police apparatus was so evil
that we infected each other.”
The last to be heard was a Yugo
slav citizen, Franz Mueller, who
admitted being in the service of
the Gestapo and assisting in the
deportation of Slovenes.
Tiny San Marino Is Miffed
At Exclusion From Aid Talks
Republic Has Put Out Feelers for UN Membership
And Thinks U.S. Has Treated It Badly
In Matter of War Reparations
By Barrett McGurn
Special to the European Edition
SAN MARINO, Italy, July 17.—
The little republic of San Marino
is miffed because it was not invited
to take part in the current talks
on the Marshall proposals, its Sec-
I’etary for Foreign Affairs, Gino
Giacomini, disclosed today. The
republic has half the area and less
than one-tenth of the population of
Staten Island.
“We are an independent country
and we want to be treated that
way,” the foreign relations officer
of tihe 15,000 San Marinese asserted
indignantly. “We do not want to be
left out of any agreements. We
want the benefits and a voice in all
of them.”
Foreign Secretary Giacomini took
occasion to deny the published re
ports that San Marino has asked
membership in the United Nations.
He said the republic has put out
“feelers” to Trygve Lie- and to the
American Senate and State De
partment to find out how San
Marino’s membership application
would be treated. If the feelers
disclose that the United Nations
would refuse, San Marino means
to save face by not applying, Mr.
Giacomini explained.
The San Marino feelers have
been put out by an American of
Italian descent, Victor Anfuso, who
serves as its Consul General in
Washington.
The organizers of the Marshall
proposal conferences are not the

project instead of a short-term
plan.
Answering the Netherlands dele
gate, M. Alphand recalled the state,
ments by French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault that France is
willing to push German coal and
wheat production to a maximum,
but that it cannot allow unrestrict
ed development of German heavy
industry. This would be the recon
struction of Germany’s war poten
tial and a threat to French security.
Then, Mr. Hirschfeld again coun
tered the French delegate with the
proposal that the mutual recovery
project be limited to one year. The
Swedish delegate, Dag Hammersk-
jold, then supported the Nether
lands delegate. There did not ap
pear to be any extended discussion
on this point.
To Interest U.S.
Instead, Sir Oliver Franks, Brit
ish delegate who presided, inter
vened to say that the members
must prepare a questionnaire that
will interest Americans, and not
merely Europeans and their pe
culiar politics. Sir Oliver proposed
a four-point program, which Sean
Lemass, the Eire Minister of Sup
ply, seconded as a concise outline
for gathering recovery information.
The proposed outline was to give:
1— An emergency short-term in
ventory, looking forward to the
immediate winter, that would
show what food and coal needs
are.
2— Draft of Europe’s trade defi
cits over as long a period as ad
visable in order to show that the
Continent is counting on putting
its trade back into balance.
3— Statement of the needs of
each member nation for its own
internal economy.
4— Methods to be employed in in
creasing production.
These suggestions and others
made by Mr. Hirschfeld, who said
that it was “necessary to treat
Germany as a European problem
and not as a special problem,”
were forwarded to the executive
committee along with M. Aliphand’s
original questionnaire.
The steering committee then pro
posed an operating schedule for it
self, the executive committee, and
the four subcommittees on food,
fuel, iron and steel and transport.
The schedule will convene the vari
ous units regularly until their task
is completed toward the end of
August.
Rome Restaurants Shut
ROME, July 17 (A.P.).—Police
closed eleven of Rome’s leading
luxury restaurants last night for
five to eight days because they
were serving white bread, meats
and sweets in violation of the
government’s recent “austerity”
decrees.
(Continued from Page 1)
United States was cooling
toward the projected European aid
plan or was seeking to postpone it
until some time next year at the
earliest.
Defends Policy
I Mr. Bevin, after an enthusiastic
i greeting from the delegates crowded
j into the seashore auditorium, struck
! out in defense of his foreign policy,
| criticizing several resolutions laid
down by the conference during the
week. His declaration that he him
self was doing his best to work out
the Marshall plan was a part of
this defense.
For a while, Mr. Bevin told the
conference, he had been accused of
“leading the world to Munich, but
that’s been dropped now that
Czechoslovakia has gone to Mos
cow.” Then he referred to charges
that he sought to divide Europe. He
said:
“I have struggled for two solid
years, put up with every frustration,
rather than divide Europe. I do not
want to divide any part of the
world. Nor do I want to divide the
United States from Europe. I be
lieve that the planet is so small
now we cannot afford division any
where.”
Mr. Bevin said that as for “those
who criticize us now”—apparently
referring to Russia—“we shall try
to prove to them by example what
we cannot do by argument.”
At the same time the Foreign
Secretary called for a patient at
titude from all toward those peoples
who had suffered most during the
war. And he went on to blast talk
of a coming war.
‘I Refuse’
“I refuse,” he said with emphasis,
“to fix in my mind a potential
enemy and fix a strategy for deal
ing with him.”
Mr. Bevin concluded with a plea
for increased coal output which he
said would solve world problems
more quickly than he could.
The conference went into secret
session on foreign policy and dealt
with thirty-three resolutions criti
cal of the government’s handling
of international affairs. As a result
this watered-down composite resolu
tion was adopted: “This confer
ence calls upon the government to
carry out a foreign policy that will
meet its commitments to the
United Nations and assist in build
ing up friendly relations with na
tions and peoples working for
peace. The keystone of this policy
must be closest friendship with
those countries who are pledged to
a program similar to that of the
Labor government.”
only objects of San Marino’s cur
rent displeasure, Mr. Giacomini
added. He says that the republic
feels it has received cavalier treat
ment from the United States with
regard to its demand for $3,000,000
worth of war reparations.
Ten American planes dropped 400
bombs on San Marjno three years
ago when a trainload of civilian
supplies evidently was mistaken for
munitions. Sixty-three persons were
killed and the republic’s museum,
the railway station and a dozen
homes were destroyed. The San
Marinese admit by implication that
the damage fell far short of $3,000,-
000 but they contend that the
United States should pay also for
“moral and material” inconveni
ences which resulted from sub
sequent German and Allied occupa
tions. The Germans moved in after
the bombing on the grounds that
it had converted San Marino into a
theater of war.
Mr. Anfuso keeps sending reports
that the American State Depart
ment is studying the claim but no
formal reply has ever come, Mr.
Giacomini said.
“From the point of view of inter
national law, we have been treated
very badly,” the country’s Foreign
Minister protested.
San Marino had a Fascist regime
until the time the Italian Fascist
government fell, but it remained
officially neutral. HalLa-dozen San
Marino youths who served in Italy
as volunteers were given token jail
terms ranging up to three months.
San Marino is entirely surrounded
by Italy but boasts of a record of
independence from the sixteenth
century.

Mystery of Gold Cache
Not Resolved by Court
French anti-Communists who
crowded the 11th Police Court of
Paris yesterday in expectation of
revelations concerning the actual
owners of an important gold cache
discovered by police near Paris last
March were disappointed when the
court ordered the case to be put
off until November 6, pending a
direct deal between the mysterious
owners and the Ministry of Finance.
The court was to have tried nine
teen persons charged with illegal
gold purchases. These were arrest
ed when more than fifty pounds of
gold, in dollars, sovereigns and
bars, totaling 120,000,000 francs in
value, was unearthed by police in
the garden of a deserted villa near
Villebon-sur-Yvette, south of Paris.
All this gold, police alleged, had
been bought on the black market
by the persons under arrest, but
the financiers of the transactions
remained a mystery. According to
some versions the funds with which
the gold was purchased belonged to
the former Spanish Republican
government. French anti-Commun
ists, however, have maintained that
they were part of the funds of the
French Communist party.
U.S. Executive Hopeful
About German Industry
FRANKFURT, July 17 (A.P.).—
Lewis H. Brown, chairman of the
board of the Johns Manville Cor
poration, said today that he was
“optimistic” at the possibility of
getting German industry back on.
its feet.
Mr. Brown, making an inspection
of western Germany’s post-war
industrial potential at the request
of Lieutenant General Lucius D.
Clay, said he had nearly completed
a confidential report which he will
make to the American Military
Governor, to “get Germany off the
backs of the American taxpayers.”
Refusing to reveal details of the
proposals he will make to General
Clay, Mr. Brown said only: “I am
more optimistic than when I ar
rived.” He added, however, that his
proposals would be designed to fit
Germany’s industrial capacity into
the Marshall plan.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, July 17.—The British
Admiralty released today, seven
years after the event, the full epic
story of the British and French
evacuation from the bombed, bloody
beaches of Dunkerque between May
26 and June 4, 1940.
Admiral Alexander Ramsay dis
closed in his dispatch, written on
June 18, 1940, that of the 176 Brit
ish ships used in the operation,
thirty-five were sunk and forty-two
others damaged. Those ships, rang
ing from destroyers and hospital
ships to trawlers and drifters, were
supplemented by approximately 700
“little ships” which put out from
British fishing ports to rescue the
battered troops.
Three - hundred-and-thirty thou
sand of the British troops who had
been driven out of Europe by the
victorious Germans were brought
back to Britain. The Admiralty,
Admiral Ramsay wrote, had expect
ed at the utmost to rescue 45,000.
19 French Vessels Lost
The French Navy, too, suffered
heavy losses among the 196 ships
which it flung into the task of
evacuating French troops from the
beaches. Nineteen of them were
sunk and two others damaged, but
they brought 20,525 French troops
to Britain. In all. 123.095 French
troops were transported across the
Channel in British and French
ships. , .. .
Through “intensive air attack,
mine-laying by plane, action by
motor torpedo boats, coast artillery
gunfire and submarine operations,
the Germans tried to block the
evacuation, Admiral Ramsay report
ed. All their operations succeeded
in part, but the air attacks were
the worst, he said.
“Heavy” air attacks started on
May 29. “From then onward, the
scale and vigor of the air attack
increased, and during June 1 all
ships in Dunkerque, off the beaches
or in the approach channels, were
subjected every two hours to an
unprecedented scale of attack by
aircraft in such numbers that the
Royal Air Force was unable to
deal with the situation,” Admiral
Ramsay wrote.
A footnote reported that the
Royal Air Force destroyed 262 Ger
man planes over the beaches be
tween May 26 and June 4.
Surf Hampers Operation
The actual evacuation started on
May 26 with the signal: “Please
send every available craft to
beaches east of Dunkerque.” Ger
man armor, it was noted, was then
in operation to the south of the
beaches.
“From signals received, it appear
ed the situation was desperate, that
little could be lifted direct from
the port of Dunkerque, and that
the maximum effort must be made
from the beaches,” Admiral Ram
say wrote.
On May 28, a “moderate surf”
reduced the rate of embarkation,
“rendering the whole operation slow
and difficult.”
“The considerable alarm as to the
immediate safety of the British
Expeditionary Force, felt during
the evening and early night of
May 28, which called all available
resources to be immediately con
centrated on the French coast,
eased during the 29th,” Admiral
Ramsay reported.
But he noted that the destroyer
Wakeful, laden with troops, was
torpedoed, and all the troops on
board went down with the* ship,
and that later the destroyer Graf
ton was torpedoed. Other destroyers
were attacked by dive-bombers.
At about 4 p.m. on May 29, a two-
hour dive-bombing attack on Dun
kerque harbor forced the complete
cessation of embarkations of troops,
but the operation was resumed at
dusk. That air attack, however,
blocked the harbor, and all troops
thereafter were loaded from the
beaches, wading out into the surf.
Hospital Ships Attacked
On June 2, this signal came
from the beaches: “Wounded situa
tion acute and hospital ships should
enter during day. Geneva Conven
tion will be honorably observed, it
is felt, and the enemy will refrain
from attacking.” So two hospital
ships were started out and both,
Admiral Ramsay reported, were
attacked by Junkers planes. One,
tbe Paris, was “badly damaged”
and it subsequently sank, “and
¥ attempt to evacuate the
wounded by hospital carrier from
uunkerque was brought to nought.”

U.S. Policy for Zone Hit
The Political Bureau of the
French Communist party took an
other tilt at “American reaction”
in the communique issued after its
regular weekly meeting yesterday
which attacked the new Washing
ton «instructions to the Military
Government favoring an early re
vival of German industry.
The Political Bureau, which

contradiction with the new control “the hew directives of American re
action which aim at the revival of
German war industry and the liqui
dation of the reparations policy,
which is equivalent to the im
periling of the reconstruction- and
security of France.”
As a reply to the new American
policy concerning Germany, the
French Communist leaders urged
“the necessity for our country to
resume without delay a foreign po
licy aiming at its own defense and
security through a just settlement
of the German problem and an un
derstanding with all its Allies with

Soviet Objection
The Austrian government must
reject the view that through this
agreement Austrian independence
has been compromised and that the
relief agreement is therefore a vio
lation of the Moscow declaration.
The providing of information re
ferred to in your note is directly
concerned with relief deliveries and
in no way involves confidential re
ports and is, moreover, continually
required by all the occupation
powers. It was also, at one time,
provided to the United Nations Re
lief and Rehabilitation Administra
tion.”
T S h ^ text of , L to. ute f nant General Leon Pearson Decorated
I. V. Kourasov s objection was made
public at the same time. In ob
jecting to the paragraphs which
give the United States the right to
supervise the distribution of the
relief supplies provided for in the
agreement, General Kourasov said:
“The Soviet command makes the
Austrian government responsible
for all the consequences arising
from the acceptance of such con
ditions in connection with relief
supplies to Austria, and the viola
tion of agreements among the Allies
concerning Austria.”
He said the Soviet military com
mand “cannot recognize the legal
validity, and does not consider it is
bound, by those conditions of the
Austro-American relief agreement
. . . which are not in accord with
the Moscow declaration on Austria
and which are in contradiction with
the decision ol the four powers on
Austria.”
Leon Pearson, Paris bureau chief
of the International News Service,
received yesterday the Knight’s
Cross of the Legion of Honor from
Georges Bidault, French Foreign
Minister. Presenting toe decoration
at a brief ceremony at the Quai
d’Orsay, M. Bidault cited Mr. Pear_
son’s work as chief Paris correspon
dent of INS as an “outstanding
example of journalistic achieve
ment.”
Mr. Pearson will leave Paris
today, returning to the United
States. He had been INS bureau
chief since July, 1945. His successor
has not yet been designated.
Studying the routine, the hold-up
men laid a strategy wihch worked
perfectly. It began with the steal
ing of a taxi-cab around 9 o’clock
this morning in the Brixton section
of London, southeast of the centei
of the city.
With perfect timing, a driver in
the stolen taxi-cab cruised down
Piccadilly and drew up to the bank
just as the two messengers emerged
with their little black bag in hand.
They hailed the cab, got in and
gave the address of Warner’s office
on Wardour Street.
The driver cruised on down Pic
cadilly, turned up a side street and
started to take a roundabout way
toward Wardour Street, which is in
Soho, the heart of London’s under
world activities. The two men
started to protest when suddenly
the cab slowed to a halt and two
other men jumped in, one brand
ishing a gun.
The cab cruised on and a scuffle
started in the back in which one
of the gunmen slugged a messen
ger over the head—-“set about us”
as the messenger later put it. Back
in the heart of Soho, the cab stop
ped and the driver and the two
gunmen jumped out and got away
with the payroll satchel.
The police and a radio car rushed
to the scene as soon as a messen
ger got free and sounded a warning.
Descriptions of the hold-up men
were obtained from pedestrians who
saw the getaway, but no trace of
the men has yet been found.
Russians Also
(Continued from Page 1)
on, they were informed, have to
look to eastern Europe for resources.
In order to facilitate this trade
with eastern Europe’the Germans
were ordered to create in their
Economic Commission for the Soviet
Zone, a special Ministry of For
eign Trade. This ministry began
operating for the first time in the
past few weeks.
The Russians will continue to keep
a strict control on German in
dustry by the simple means of con
tinuing to demand a sizable share
of production as reparations for it
self and Poland.
Western Allied observers and
German economists believe that the
Russians are too optimistic in their
plans for eastern Europe. Even by
rehabilitating Germany’s capacity,
stimulating those of Poland and
Czechoslovakia, the industrial po
tential of eastern Europe will be
insufficient for prosperity, it is
thought.

Moore, commander of “Operation
Tiger,” Mr. Ben Ami insisted that
the continuation of martial con
trol was pointless.
He scoffed at the army an
nouncement that two “top-grade”
terrorists had been found in his
town, saying the army’s captives
were extremely small fry.
Meanwhile, the mandate govern
ment broadcast a message from
two members of Parliament,
Richard Crossman and Maurice
Edelman, calling on the Jewish
community to prevent the deaths
of the two missing sergeants at the
hands of Irgun. Mr. Crossman and
Mr. Edelman both have been friend
ly to Zionist aspirations and Mr.
Crossman was a member of last
year’s Anglo-American Commission.
“The kidnaping of two British
sergeants is a crime which affronts
the conscience of every decent per
son, whether Gentile or Jew,” said
Mr. Crossman and Mr. Edelman.
“If these innocent men have been
taken as hostages, the action adds
to the responsibility of those in
volved since the taking of guiltless
hostages is a barbarous action con
trary to civilized law and to human
ethics.
“The soldiers involved are the

of mankind but will have disastrous
results for the cause which the

serve.”

Trieste Letters
Pin Crimes on
Nazi General
Reiner Is Recalled to War
Trial After He Is Accused
Of Murdering Hostages
By the Associated Press
BELGRADE, July 17. — Letters
from Trieste citizens, accusing him
of war crimes, caused the recall to
the witness stand today of Lieu
tenant General Friedrich Reiner,
who is standing trial before a Lju
bljana military court.
The letters accused Reiner, a
former Gauleiter, of responsibility
for killing countless hostages, hang,
ing and burning them, and burning
down villages, while supreme Nazi
commander in the Adriatic zone in
Trieste.
On the stand, Reiner said that he
learned in Nuremberg, during the
war, that there were plans for
founding a Greater Austria and an
other, in which he alleged the Vati
can was concerned, which proposed
unification of Catholic states, in
cluding Austria, Hungary, Slovenia
and Croatia.
It was after this evidence that
the Trieste letter caused his recall.
Crimes in Venezia Giulia
Another defendant, General Jo
seph Vogt, asked Reiner whether,
as Supreme Commissioner, he knew
of Nazi crimes against the popula
tion of Venezia Giulia.
Vogt told the court that Reiner
must have been informed in ad
vance of the punitive measures to
be taken in order to sign the orders
for their execution.
The remainder of the defendants
also gave evidence before the court.
Franz Hradecky, Nazi Kreisleiter
(area leader) of northern Slovenia
and chief propaganda agent during
the Nazi occupation of Trieste, ad
mitted issuing an order for the
shooting of hostages. Walter Hoch-
steiner, Nazi party leader for north
ern Slovenia, said he had consulted
with Reiner on the decision to burn
down a Slovenian village and told
the court he knew of the shooting
of hundreds of hostages.
Disclaims Responsibility
Leo Kuss, country party leader,
declared that the shooting of hos
tages and burning of villages in his
district were the responsibility of
the men under him, at which the
court called upon Vogt, who replied
that the crimes could not have been
committed without the knowledge
and approval of the Nazi Kreis
leiter.
Reinhold Gerlach, Gestapo chief
of Litija, Slovenia, asked why he
had flogged prisoners, said: “Our
entire police apparatus was so evil
that we infected each other.”
The last to be heard was a Yugo
slav citizen, Franz Mueller, who
admitted being in the service of
the Gestapo and assisting in the
deportation of Slovenes.
Tiny San Marino Is Miffed
At Exclusion From Aid Talks
Republic Has Put Out Feelers for UN Membership
And Thinks U.S. Has Treated It Badly
In Matter of War Reparations
By Barrett McGurn
Special to the European Edition
SAN MARINO, Italy, July 17.—
The little republic of San Marino
is miffed because it was not invited
to take part in the current talks
on the Marshall proposals, its Sec-
I’etary for Foreign Affairs, Gino
Giacomini, disclosed today. The
republic has half the area and less
than one-tenth of the population of
Staten Island.
“We are an independent country
and we want to be treated that
way,” the foreign relations officer
of tihe 15,000 San Marinese asserted
indignantly. “We do not want to be
left out of any agreements. We
want the benefits and a voice in all
of them.”
Foreign Secretary Giacomini took
occasion to deny the published re
ports that San Marino has asked
membership in the United Nations.
He said the republic has put out
“feelers” to Trygve Lie- and to the
American Senate and State De
partment to find out how San
Marino’s membership application
would be treated. If the feelers
disclose that the United Nations
would refuse, San Marino means
to save face by not applying, Mr.
Giacomini explained.
The San Marino feelers have
been put out by an American of
Italian descent, Victor Anfuso, who
serves as its Consul General in
Washington.
The organizers of the Marshall
proposal conferences are not the

project instead of a short-term
plan.
Answering the Netherlands dele
gate, M. Alphand recalled the state,
ments by French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault that France is
willing to push German coal and
wheat production to a maximum,
but that it cannot allow unrestrict
ed development of German heavy
industry. This would be the recon
struction of Germany’s war poten
tial and a threat to French security.
Then, Mr. Hirschfeld again coun
tered the French delegate with the
proposal that the mutual recovery
project be limited to one year. The
Swedish delegate, Dag Hammersk-
jold, then supported the Nether
lands delegate. There did not ap
pear to be any extended discussion
on this point.
To Interest U.S.
Instead, Sir Oliver Franks, Brit
ish delegate who presided, inter
vened to say that the members
must prepare a questionnaire that
will interest Americans, and not
merely Europeans and their pe
culiar politics. Sir Oliver proposed
a four-point program, which Sean
Lemass, the Eire Minister of Sup
ply, seconded as a concise outline
for gathering recovery information.
The proposed outline was to give:
1— An emergency short-term in
ventory, looking forward to the
immediate winter, that would
show what food and coal needs
are.
2— Draft of Europe’s trade defi
cits over as long a period as ad
visable in order to show that the
Continent is counting on putting
its trade back into balance.
3— Statement of the needs of
each member nation for its own
internal economy.
4— Methods to be employed in in
creasing production.
These suggestions and others
made by Mr. Hirschfeld, who said
that it was “necessary to treat
Germany as a European problem
and not as a special problem,”
were forwarded to the executive
committee along with M. Aliphand’s
original questionnaire.
The steering committee then pro
posed an operating schedule for it
self, the executive committee, and
the four subcommittees on food,
fuel, iron and steel and transport.
The schedule will convene the vari
ous units regularly until their task
is completed toward the end of
August.
Rome Restaurants Shut
ROME, July 17 (A.P.).—Police
closed eleven of Rome’s leading
luxury restaurants last night for
five to eight days because they
were serving white bread, meats
and sweets in violation of the
government’s recent “austerity”
decrees.

toward the projected European aid
plan or was seeking to postpone it

Defends Policy
I Mr. Bevin, after an enthusiastic
i greeting from the delegates crowded
j into the seashore auditorium, struck
! out in defense of his foreign policy,
| criticizing several resolutions laid
down by the conference during the
week. His declaration that he him
self was doing his best to work out
the Marshall plan was a part of
this defense.
For a while, Mr. Bevin told the
conference, he had been accused of
“leading the world to Munich, but
that’s been dropped now that
Czechoslovakia has gone to Mos
cow.” Then he referred to charges
that he sought to divide Europe. He
said:
“I have struggled for two solid
years, put up with every frustration,
rather than divide Europe. I do not
want to divide any part of the
world. Nor do I want to divide the
United States from Europe. I be
lieve that the planet is so small
now we cannot afford division any
where.”
Mr. Bevin said that as for “those
who criticize us now”—apparently
referring to Russia—“we shall try
to prove to them by example what
we cannot do by argument.”
At the same time the Foreign
Secretary called for a patient at
titude from all toward those peoples
who had suffered most during the
war. And he went on to blast talk
of a coming war.
‘I Refuse’
“I refuse,” he said with emphasis,
“to fix in my mind a potential
enemy and fix a strategy for deal
ing with him.”
Mr. Bevin concluded with a plea
for increased coal output which he
said would solve world problems
more quickly than he could.
The conference went into secret
session on foreign policy and dealt
with thirty-three resolutions criti
cal of the government’s handling
of international affairs. As a result
this watered-down composite resolu
tion was adopted: “This confer
ence calls upon the government to
carry out a foreign policy that will
meet its commitments to the
United Nations and assist in build
ing up friendly relations with na
tions and peoples working for
peace. The keystone of this policy
must be closest friendship with
those countries who are pledged to
a program similar to that of the
Labor government.”
only objects of San Marino’s cur
rent displeasure, Mr. Giacomini
added. He says that the republic
feels it has received cavalier treat
ment from the United States with
regard to its demand for $3,000,000
worth of war reparations.
Ten American planes dropped 400
bombs on San Marjno three years
ago when a trainload of civilian
supplies evidently was mistaken for
munitions. Sixty-three persons were
killed and the republic’s museum,
the railway station and a dozen
homes were destroyed. The San
Marinese admit by implication that
the damage fell far short of $3,000,-
000 but they contend that the
United States should pay also for
“moral and material” inconveni
ences which resulted from sub
sequent German and Allied occupa
tions. The Germans moved in after
the bombing on the grounds that
it had converted San Marino into a
theater of war.
Mr. Anfuso keeps sending reports
that the American State Depart
ment is studying the claim but no
formal reply has ever come, Mr.
Giacomini said.
“From the point of view of inter
national law, we have been treated
very badly,” the country’s Foreign
Minister protested.
San Marino had a Fascist regime
until the time the Italian Fascist
government fell, but it remained
officially neutral. HalLa-dozen San
Marino youths who served in Italy
as volunteers were given token jail
terms ranging up to three months.
San Marino is entirely surrounded
by Italy but boasts of a record of
independence from the sixteenth
century.

Mystery of Gold Cache
Not Resolved by Court
French anti-Communists who
crowded the 11th Police Court of
Paris yesterday in expectation of
revelations concerning the actual
owners of an important gold cache
discovered by police near Paris last
March were disappointed when the
court ordered the case to be put
off until November 6, pending a
direct deal between the mysterious
owners and the Ministry of Finance.
The court was to have tried nine
teen persons charged with illegal
gold purchases. These were arrest
ed when more than fifty pounds of
gold, in dollars, sovereigns and
bars, totaling 120,000,000 francs in
value, was unearthed by police in
the garden of a deserted villa near
Villebon-sur-Yvette, south of Paris.
All this gold, police alleged, had
been bought on the black market
by the persons under arrest, but
the financiers of the transactions
remained a mystery. According to
some versions the funds with which
the gold was purchased belonged to
the former Spanish Republican
government. French anti-Commun
ists, however, have maintained that
they were part of the funds of the
French Communist party.
U.S. Executive Hopeful
About German Industry
FRANKFURT, July 17 (A.P.).—
Lewis H. Brown, chairman of the
board of the Johns Manville Cor
poration, said today that he was
“optimistic” at the possibility of
getting German industry back on.
its feet.
Mr. Brown, making an inspection
of western Germany’s post-war
industrial potential at the request
of Lieutenant General Lucius D.
Clay, said he had nearly completed
a confidential report which he will
make to the American Military
Governor, to “get Germany off the
backs of the American taxpayers.”
Refusing to reveal details of the
proposals he will make to General
Clay, Mr. Brown said only: “I am
more optimistic than when I ar
rived.” He added, however, that his
proposals would be designed to fit
Germany’s industrial capacity into
the Marshall plan.
