N.'s'Dissipation'of America's Manpower ly th« Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 1.—Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer de clared here last night that the United States had been "naively" : drawn into Korea and protested letting the United Nations "dissi pate our manpower all over the 1 world." Discarding a prepared text, the 1 former commander of the China Theater predicted in a dinner speech "future powder kegs” be tween the United States and Com munists. “If that war (Korea) must go on, I say let the Asiatics who want freedom fight,” he said. "We can arm them. If it is the decision for us to stay out there and do the job, I say remove the restrictions and give our boys every weapon in the democracy’s arsenal.” Presumably, that would include the atom bomb. He also said it would be “unfor tunate” if the United States sent ’ large numbers of men to Europe 1 instead of arming European na- j tions to fight. Gen. Wedemeyer, who retired from the Army Monday after 34 years, urged the arming of na tions everywhere to help stop com munism. In Darticular. he Draised; the planned help for Franco Spain. A critic of past United States’ policy in Chna, Gen. Wedemeyer said that America's fighting in Korea has been restricted by other countries within the U. N. ‘‘It will be a long time before we get an organization that will perform effectively within the U.J N.,’’ he said. “Until then, let’s not let the U. N. dissipate our man power all over the world.” At an earlier news conference, he said: “In my judgment there will be other incidents, other powder kegs which could be fused and set off at any place and time of their (the Communists) choosing. We must keep our powder dry, our wings very strong.” Gen. Wedemeyer, a witness in Senate hearings on the ouster of Gen. MacArthur, described Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists as the free world’s best hope in the Orient against commu/an. First Venezuelan Oil Was Exported in 1917 MARACAIBO.

L.—A fortune in German crown jewels was returned by the United States Army today to the princely rouse of Hesse, from which they were stolen by American officers n 1945 at Kronberg Castle. The jewelry which filled two \rmy safes, numbered over 270 terns. It included diamonds to oling more than 500 carats. One sapphire alone weighed 116.20 sarats. Col. Jack W. Durant in 1947 >egan a 14-year sentence in At anta Federal penitentiary on con viction of stealing the jewels, valued at $1.5 million. His wife,! ormer WAC Capt. Kathleen Nash, has been released after serving a sentence, an Army spokesman said. The titled owners were present when Brig. Gen. Claude B. Mickel wait, asssitant judge advocate, formally turned over custody of she jewels to their attorney, Joseph Robinson of New York. An airplane secretly brought the ewels under military guard from Washington to Frankfurt last week end. Gen. Mickelwait accom >anied them on the transatlantic light. The treasure rescues from straitened circumstances Princes Wolfgang and Phillip of Hesse, Princess Sophia of Hanover, end Countess Margarethe of Hesse, the matriarch of the house. An Army statement said not all the jewels, filched from the basement of Kronberg castle after it became a postwar club for American officers, had been re trieve^ Some of the jewels given back today had been smuggled into the United States, but confiscated by the Treasury Department after arrests in the case. Others were used by the Army for evidence at the trial of one of the accused officers. The Treasury Department eventually waived forfeiture of the smuggled jewels so the German owners could reclaim them. m f Photograph him bright and eager, dressed up as a "LITTLE C ■ LEAGUER".
