This decision is contained in the preamble to a new Allied law, pub lished tejday, or reorganization of the German coal, iron and steel industries. It means the govern ment at Bonn will decide in the future whether the Ruhr indus tries will be privately owned or run by the government. An Allied dispute over the owner ship proyision held up tha law for months. French fears that it would enable the Germans to set up a super-monopoly of heavy in dustry caused the law to be re ferred back to the three Allied governments. Discussed by Ministers. After weeks of discussion, the J British and American commis sioners voted for the law a month ago. The French commissioner protested the inclusion of the ownership clause. This automat ically referred the issue back to the Allied governments. It was discussed in London by the three foreign ministers. Meanwhile France proposed a pooling of German coal and steel resources in a plan open to all European nations. Last night the Bonn chancellor, Konrad Ade nauer, announced "full determi nation’’ to help bring the French plan to realization. He said tech nical difficulties such as continued Allied limitation on German steel production would not be allowed to interfere with achievement of the greatest possible unity be tween the two traditional enemies. Mr. Adenauer, who discussed ♦he plan yesterday with former French Premier Paul Reynaud,: said he was convinced other Eu ropean nations, including Britain, would eventually enter the pool. Bxpect Monopoly to Be Barred. Reliable Allied sources say the French have become convinced that the Allies would retain! enough power in Germany to pre- j vent creation of a monopoly un- j der the new law, which leaves! the ownership up to "a represent ative freely-elected German gov ernment.” The new law follows main pro visions of previous Anglo-Amer ican legislation that began the1 process of breaking up the huge Ruhr industrial empires like Krupp. The inclusion of the French in ♦he joint control of West Ger many made a new law necessary. The law's objects, already par tially carried out, are: 1. To eliminate excessive con centration of economic power and prevent the development of war potential. 2. To prevent restoration of Nazis to ownership of the indus tries they used to aid Hitler's ag gression. 3. To reorganize in a way that will promote German industrial recovery. The law lists 13 concerns which are to be liquidated and reorgan ized. These include Krupp's steel and armament combine, at Essen. Liquidation Proceeds. Another schedule lists 10 com bines where liquidation is already in progress. A further 45 con cerns are listed for decision on whether they fall within the scope of the law. Nine plants which have United Nations ownership have been ex empted from the law and Allied control of them lifted. A new provision sets up a board of review to be nominated by the high commissioners to study prob lems arising from the reorganiza tion and hear appeals against or ders for redistributidn of prop erties. ! Until the question of ownership is decided by the Bonn regime the steel industry is held in trustee ship by the Allied-nominated Ger man trustees. Israelis Force Down British Flying Boat By th« Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel, May 17.— Israeli fighter planes fired warning ahots and forced a British flying boat to land at the port of Tel Aviv today. The British ship’s crew of eight was taken into custody, pending an investigation. The Israelis said Uie plane crossed over Israel's terntory from the east, apparently headed for Egypt. A similar incident occurred May 2 when an Israeli fighter fired a warning burst and compelled a United Nations observation plane to land at Lydda airport. A gov ernment spokesman said at the time U. N. planes had been violat ing Israeli.air rules and flying out side the prescribed air corridor. The U. N. plane was later per mitted to proceed to Jordan-occu pied Palestine. U. S. Presses Atlantic Pact Allies To Form International Army Foreign Ministers Likely to Decide Question at London Parley Today By th« Aisociot*d Pr»is LONDON. May 17.—The United States Is pressing its 11 North Atlantic allies to rush formation of an international army against the threat of Russian aggression. The decision whether to do so probably will be made today by the Foreign Ministers of the At lantic pact countries, meeting in secret deliberations here for the third and perhaps final day. Diplomatic informants empha sized, however, that military might is not the only aspect of the de fense question. Bigger and more efficient indus trial production particularly is needed to underpin the costly de fense effort, in the view of Amer ican diplomats. The United States is reported to be urging Europe to show more* speed, determination and confidence in its economic efforts. The international army idea has developed from a view, held on an increasingly wide scale, that a group of national armies added to each other do not make a unified or efficient defense force. When a comparatively weak na tion attempts to provide itself with all the components of mod ern war—fighters, bombers, armor, infantry and sea power—its de fenses are spread so thin that no branch is effective. By contrast the American idea is to set up a super-command under the Atlantic pact to weld together the armed forces of the 12 members while at the same time looking out for their eco nomic strength and possibly for closer political ties. The continental countries, for insatnce, would be expected to go in more heavily for ground forces. Defense experts are reported to have recommended a minimum of 30 divisions—about 450,000 men— as a standing force pegged strongly on France's troops. The total, however, probably would include British and Amer (See Ministers. Page A-3.) Trygve Lie Declares Time Will Tell Result 01 Talks in Moscow U. N.

The United Nations official is on a Washington-Paris London-Moscow mission designed to help bridge differences between East and West and to support the U. N. He saw Prime Min ister Stalin Monday night. Given "Friendly” Reception. "I have been received in a most friendly w'ay,” Mr. Lie said, "and the exchanges of views and ideas have been of a positive kind. “I have been asked what we have been talking about. Well, our conversations have con centrated on the general Interna tional situation, the Chinese representation in the United Na tions and the so-called cold war. Among other matters discussed, I can also mention periodic meet ings of the Security Council (with leaders of the big powers present) and the control of atomic energy.” Some correspondents submitted questions in w'riting in advance of the news conference. Mr. Lie ex pressed regret he could not dis close more details in his replies, adding: “The talks and exchanges of views between leaders of states and the secretary general must be confidential if results as regards actual . situation and difficult problems are to be obtained. “I have been asked how I am satisfied with the results of my discussions with leaders of states in the four capitals I have visited since April 20. Results to Take Time. “To this I should only like to point out that the United Nations | secretary general cannot be satis fied before the United Nations machinery works normally, the cold war is brought to an end and friendly relations are established between the member nations. “I have no reasons to be dis satisfied with my conversations in Moscow. A final judgment, how ever, cannot be made before twc or three months from now. May be it will take a still longer pe riod, too. “In this connection, I should like to repeat what I said at s press conference in New York be fore I set out on my trip: “1 do not expect any immediate re sults from my journey.

If a Repub lican Congress is elected, "it will insist on the elimination from government, and particularly from the State Department policy-mak ing group, of every man who thinks that communism has about it any of the elements of true Americanism.” The Ohio Senator spoke over Nation-wide radio networks, un der the auspices of the Repub lican National Committee, the Re publican Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the National Re publican Congressional Commit tee. I Malone Sees Administration Plot. And today, Senator Malone, Re publican, of Nevada charged the administration with a “deliber ately designed plot” to overthrow the American competitive eco nomic system. He said the administration has been able to accomplish “much of its socialistic aims” through heavy taxatino, a “free trade” policy and Government regulation, through the Securities and Exchange Com mission, designed to eliminate in vestment of venture capital. “When the American economic system is gone, the death of the American form of Government cannot be far behind,” Senator Malone said in a Senate statement. Says Confidence Shaken. Senator Taft handled Mr. Tru man, his administration and his program without gloves. “The political immorality of the Truman administration has shak en the confidence of the people in their Government,” Senator Taft said.

Taft, wife of the 'Ohio Republican Senator, was rushed to George Washington University Hospital today as an emergency case after she was sud denly stricken ill last night. Jack Martin, the Senator's ad ministrative assistant, told re porters Mrs. Taft was taken to the hospital when she felt worse this morning. Her physician said her illness has not been diagnosed and that I she was admitted for observation. jHe said her condition was not critical, but that she probably would be hospitalized for at least a week. Mr. Martin said Senator Taft who was with his wife for about an hour at the hospital, postponed plans to fly to Cleveland this morning. Mrs. Taft is Well known as a speaker at Republican gatherings, and has traveled with the Senator frequently on his campaign trips. Her illness came as a surprise to Capitol Hill.

Duff Beats Grundy Forces Almost 3 to 1 Pennsylvania Primary Victory Enhances • Position in Party • y th« Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—Big Jim Duff, Pennsylvania's red-1 haired Governor, skyrocketed into a position of vital importance in National Republican affairs today as the winner in the State's most bitter primary election in decades. Gov. Duff was nominated for the Senate by a nearly 3-to-l ma jority. He carried to victory his personally indorsed ticket for Governor and four State-wide of fices. In appraising the result, Gov. Duff said: “The Republican elec torate has indicated definitely that the policy of the party Should be aggressive and progressive and not ultra-conservative.’’ “We can guarantee a Repub lican President in 1952 if the policy now adopted in Pennsylvania is carried out Nation-wide.” voting was Heavy. Gov. Duff defeated the State wide political organization headed by former Senator Joseph R. Grundy. For 30 years Mr. Grundy —now 87—had been the spokes man and top strategist of Repub licans in Pennsylvania. Mr. Grundy, asked for comment on the voting that probably brought to an end his political reign in this big Republican stronghold, said today: “No comment. No. No. No. Not until I get awake and find out what’s going on.” The total vote appeared to be of record proportions for a primary. Indications were that it would be approximately 50 per cent of the 2,862,112 Republicans registered. The Democrats, without a major contest, counted a smaller per centage of the 1,926,216 eligibles. There was no way the Repub lican result could be placed on comparative basis with a previous election. Four years ago Mr. Duff was nominated for Governor with 725,576 votes to 216,623 for two opponent. But that contest was not a State tight and was on a far smaller scale than the cam paign preceding yesterday’s elec tion. Gov. Duff started the campaign with a pledge to “destroy” what he called “Grundyism — govern ment by a few, for the benefit of a few, at the expense of the public.” Grundy Accepted Challenge. Mr. Grundy accepted the chal ! lenge. lining up behind Gov. Duff's opponent and a complete anti Duff slate. Allied with the veter* an leader were Senator Martin, a former Governor; ex-Governor Arthur H. James, and Republican National Committeeman G. Mason Owlett. Owlett, president of the Penn sylvania Manufacturers’ Associa tion, Mr. Grundy’s right-hand man, had only this to say: “I’m voting the straight Repub lican ticket in the fall, as I always have.” There had been rumors that if the Grundy - Owlett candidates were defeated in the primary, Mr. Grundy would throw the weight of his organization behind the Democratic slate. For the two major offices, re turns from 7,988 of the State's 8,347 districts gave: For Senator: Gov. Duff, 924,201, Representative John C. Kunkel, the Grundy candidate, 405,700. For Governor — John S. Fine, backed by Duff, 753,747,* Jay Cooke, indorsed by Grundy, 539, 453. Charles Scott Williams, running as an independent, polled only 60,502. votes. Democratic Primary Dull. Democrats also held a primary, but by contrast with the G. O. P. big top it was strictly a Grade B show. Senator Myers was renom inated without opposition.

Mr. Dilworth said the (See PRIMARY, Page A-3.) Truman Rejects Recall Of Kern Confirmation President Truman today rejected a Senate request for return of the resolution of confirmation of Judge John W. Kern for reappointment to the Tax Court. The President explained that "before this request was received , by me, I had signed and delivered £he commission of Judge Kern to him in reliance on the conflrma , tion .of resolution.” The Senate move to recall the ; confirmation of the jurist was prompted by a complaint from O. O. Owens of Tulsa, Okla., growing out of a tax case. The complaint was aired by i Senator Donnell, Republican, of Missouri.

Army Denies Fraud In Overpayments to Service Dependents Red Activity Discounted; 'Get 'Em Paid' Policy Held Main Reason By Robert K. Walsh Overpayments of $157 million by the Army Finance Center to servicemen's dependents resulted largely from a “get ’em paid" post war philosophy and not from fraud or Communisf activity, Army officials told .a House sub committee today. Removal of the center from Newark, N. J.. to St. Louis dur ing the heavy military demobili zation period in 1946 also con tributed to administrative confu sion. Karl Bendetsen, assistant t< the Secretary of the Army, testi fied at an Armed Services sub committee hearing. Mr. Bendetsen added, however that the Army also was up againsl considerable pressure to be “leni ent” in recovering overpayment! that has been discovered. He declared that more than 4.000 letters were sent to con gressmen by individuals and groups urging such “leniency.” Personnel Situation Questioned. The subcommittee headed by Representative Kilday, Democrat, of Texas opened public hearings today on military phases of al leged irregularities at the center in St. Louis. Several members were particu larly interested in learning why the center was moved to Missouri when an almost completely new and inexperienced civilian person nel of 4,500 had to be hired there. Mr. Bendetsen said he would try to find out. The open sessions gave Mr. Bendetsen and Maj. Lewis A. Craig. Army inspector general, their first opportunity to give the Army's side of the story in public to a congressional group. Gen. Craig reported that the Army still is investigating 116 allegations against the center, 112 of them made by a former woman civilian employe, Miss Sally Dewey of St. Louis. No Evidence of Fraud.

While a guessing game con tinued as to the woman's identity, police questioned a Morgantown i iW. Va.t man said to have ex pressed unusual interest in the murder. Police said the man had an al bum of love letters and a large ■ number of photographs of women, some of which strongly resembled the slain woman j Fingerprints Fail to Tally. A belief that the woman was Mrs. Ida May Sheehan, a waitress here, was discredited today when I the Washington police Identifica tion bureau said fingerprints of the dead woman did not tally with those taken of Mrs. Sheehan In 1943. However. David Hadeed. a res taurant owner at 2029 K street N.W., where Mrs. Sheehan for jmerly was employed, said he will I co to Berkeley Springs today to view the body. He said newspaper pictures he saw of the dead wom an resembled Mrs. Sheehan. Mrs. Sheehan's fingerprints, made in connection with her em ployment. at first were reported jas similar to those of the victim. But later today, identification ex perts said those sent here by West Virginia police in no way tallied | with those on file. I State police said the slain wom an was “identified'’ as Mrs. Shee han by two District women and a man who viewed the body last night at Newton D. Baket Vet I erans' Hospital near Martins ; burg. Identity of the slain woman has j been a mystery since the nude body was found at the bottom of a 40-foot embankment by a Po tomac River bridge approach at Hancock, Md. More than 1.000 persons have attempted to iden tify her. i State police picked up the aus ' pect for a misdemeanor. Suspect Told of Seeing Body. State Trooper L. K. Fulks said the man had aroused his land 'j lady's suspicion by mentioning that he had seen the body the day 'before it was reported to police by '! a mushroom picker. Later, when questioned by po lice, the man said he was ‘ Just j kidding." Police also found long human j hair on the man's clothing, ! which were sent to a crime lab oratory. Trooper Fulks said they I were black hairs. Story Incorrect, Police Say. The suspect's story of how he ran across the body indicated he could not have seen it from tho route he said he took. Police said the suspect was in the Berkeley Springs neighbor hood about the time the slaying occurred. Adding to the mystery was an other “positive" identification and the fatal shooting of a man near Berkeley Springs. Police did not believe the shooting was linked t# the murder. R. H. Grossnlckel, a bus driver, viewed the womans body yester day and said he knew it to be that of a passenger who boarded his bus at Columbus. Ohio, leaving at Hancock at 12:35 am, May 5, four days before the body was found. Fairfax Man Found Shot. Yesterday a middle-aged map was found dying on Route 522 near Berkeley Springs. He was shot in the head, apparently with a .22-caliber rifle found nearby. A social security card found in his pocket identified him as Ern est R.
