Prague Denies Benes
Is Gravely III, Says
He Walks in Garden
•y the Associated Press
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, May
27.—The Czech government denied
today a report from abroad that
President Eduard Benes is gravely
111 and not expected to recover.
To the contrary, an Information
Ministry spokesman said, the 64
year-old President walked with his
wife in the garden of their country
home last night and appeared to
be in a happy mood.
Another informant here, who can
not be identified by name, said,
however, that the President's doc
tors are worried about his condition
and are taking every precaution to
prolong his life.
Condition Held No Worse.
The Information Ministry spokes
man. Arnost Limberskv, said he had
"official information" that Mr.
Benes' condition is no worse now
than it has been at any time since
he suffered a stroke last fall. (The
reports from abroad said Mr. Benes
had suffered another stroke since
then and also is afflicted with hard
ening of the arteries.)
An official Czechoslovak diplo
matic source in London said yes
terday that Mr. Benes was gravely
ill and not expected to live. Mr.
Limbersky said that was false.
“Our information,” he said, “is
that President and Mrs. Benes
walked together in their garden at
7 p.m. and retired early. The Pres
ident was in a good mood. He saw
a personal friend during the eve
ning."
Goltwald Visits Benes.
The President's country home is
at Sezimovo Usti, where he has been
almost continuously since the Com
munist coup in February.
One informant here says his ac
tivities now are confined mainly to
signing the most important papers.
His doctors, this source said, guard
him against undue excitement or
excessive travel.
The Informant added that wnue
Communist Premier Klement Gott
wald visits the President rather fre
quently, he avoids discussion of po
litical affairs. Mr. Benes has not
been seen in public since he at
tended ceremonies marking the
600th anniversary of Charles Uni
versity in Prague early last month.
Prior to that he attended the state
funeral for his friend and Foreign
Minister, Jan Masaryk, who died in
a plunge from a window in March.
Boys, 10 and 11, Arrested
In Series of Store Thefts
Two boys, 10 and 11 years old,
today were awaiting Juvenile Court
action after their arrest on suspicion
of committing more than a score of
store robberies over a period of
months.
Police said they were released in
custody of their parents after being
arrested last week. One was caught
by Ralph Blacker, who said he
surprised the boy ransacking,’ lift
grocery at 3532 Georgia avenue
N.W, The second suspect was pittaed'
up 4 short time later.
The two have admitted entering
several times the Blacker store
and one at 3512 Georgia avenue,
owned by Reuben B. Gordon, police
said. Mr. Blacker said such items
as empty bottles, cheese, Jelliea. aed
cigarettes had been disappearing for
some time. ----—,

Unhappy Confusion Plagues
Korea, Bishop Cooper Says
spent 35 years of his life in Korea
was in Washington today to tell of
the hardships confronting Chris- i
Uanity in nis
adopted country. :
The Rt. Rev. f
A1 f r e jd Cecil
Cooper, Anglican
Bishop of Korea, j
depicted the con- j
dition of this 1
American - occu- *
pied country —
with its 30.000,
000 people — as
one of unhappy
confusion.
Forty years
ago—and until
he was forcibly
exiled by the
Bishop Cooper.
“"r" ••• ** vtutivp i u- |
garded Korea as a “wonderful,)
friendly place to live.” Before the1
war there were 500,000 Christians,
who wielded an influence “much
vaster than their numbers.”
"I would have called it the mo6t
honest country in the world,” he ob
served in an interview. “You could
leave a cart filled with valuables on
the road, covered with only a sheet,
and find It untouched when you
returned. Today all that has
changed. Everything has deterior
ated.”
Koreans, ruled partly by the
Americans and partly by the Rus
sians, want all foreigners to get out
—despite the fact, Bishop Cooper
said, that “for America to withdraw
now would be to hand the whole
country over to the Russians.”
Even in the American sone, ♦here
an open “national” election for leg
islators was just held, there is no
real democracy today, Bishop Cooper
declared.
Bishop Cooper is optimistic that
the influence of Christianity will
help the growth of democracy in
Korea, but the church itself is hard
pressed.

Chest Federation, the Salvation Army is asking the Washington, D. C. public to
support a $350,000 rebuilding fund to restore and bring up to needed requirements
its buildings and service facilities.
Last year, the services of the Salvation Army in Metropolitan Washington reached
75,000 human beings. Its Family Welfare Department aided 1,250 families your
neighbors in Washington. Its emergency home for women and children provided
shelter and meals for morfe than 5,000 women and children. Its Homes lodged and
fed 2,000 transients seeking haven while receiving counsel in their difficulties.
The Evangeline Residence for working girls in the lowest salary brackets provided
80,000 days’ occupancy last year in its crowded 200-room building. Its Emergency
Home with co-operation of other welfare agencies restored to their rightful homes
one hundred missing persons from every part of the nation—a work which is
being duplicated by the Salvation Army all over the world.
