Bullock Guilty on All Counts;
Blistering Verdict on Inspector
Asks Dishonorable Discharge
Board Scores
Police Officer
In Income Probe
A special trial board today
found Inspector Albert I. Bul
lock guilty on ail counts of vio
lating three sections of the
Metropolitan Police manual.
The board, none of whose
three members is a policeman,
Summary of Boards Findings on
Bullock. Page A-4
What Bullock Wouldn't Tell. Page A-5
recommended dishonorable dis
charge and dismissal “forth
with.”
All the charges in some way
involved the suspended police
official’s finances in the years
1946-48.
Specific Counts.
These are the charges against
Bullock on which the board
found him guilty.
1. “Failed and neglected” to
file District Income tax returns
for 1946, 1947 and 1948. This
single specification came under
the heading of “conduct unbe
coming an officer.”
2. Failed to obey the order of
a superior officer. This stem
med from Bullock’s refusal to
explain, when ordered last April
by Police Chief Robert V. Mur
ray, the source of nearly $16,000
income over and above his police
salary in the period 1946-48.
2. Refused in May, 1952, to
explain this extra income to the
Senate District Cr.me Investigat
ing Subcommittee and refused to
heed the request of Chief Mur
ray to give him the answers to
the income questions, which
Bullock refused to provide the
Senators. These two specifica
tions were listed under the Trial
Board charges of conduct pre
judicial to the reputation and
good order of the force.
The board, which consisted of
three top District government
officials and headed by former
Rent Control Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell, departed
from its stiffly formal findings
to blast the suspended inspec-”
tor in no uncertain term".
Called Unfit for Office.
Os Bullock’s refusal to respond '
to Chief Murray’s queries, the
board declared that such refusal
“by one of the highest ranking
officers of the Police Department
. . . partly on the ground that it
might incriminate him, or on
whatever grounds . . . should be
sufficient to s*amp such a per
son as undersirable and com
pletely unfit for public office.”
And the board observed of
Bullock's conduct, it was 'not
only ‘prejudicial to the reputa
tion and good order of the force,
. . . but was conduct prejudicial
to the reputation of the Com
missioners of the District of Co
lumbia and its government, the
chief of police and. the entire
law-abiding citizenry of the Dis
trict of Columbia.”
Board Charges Arrogance.
Bullock's conduct before his
chief was in itself, the board de
clared. “arrogant, defiant and
altogether contumacious.” His
performance before the Senate
subcommittee was characterized
by the board's comment that it
could cite “at least 200’’ ex
amples of Bullock’s “apparently
evasive answers of ‘I don't know,’
‘I can’t remember,’ or, ‘I can’t
explain.’ ”
The board quoted one Senate
subcommi.tee member’s reac
tion on this point: “It is the
grandest pattern of evasion I
have ever seen in my life.”
In its findings, the board fur
ther noted that Inspector Bul
lock “Is yet to answer” the ques
tions Chief Murray asked him.
“Suffice it to state,” the panel
declared, “that his actions be
fore the Senate and the chief
of police have earned his own
condemnation.”
Appeal I« Planned.
Bullock’s attorney. Charles E.
Ford, promptly announced he
intends to appeal the decision to
the Commissioners and to the
courts, if need be.
Mr. Ford also offered some

Trieste Stays Calm
As Italian Troops
Move to Border
Yugoslavia Officially
Denies Charge Tito
Has Annexation Plans
By th« Associated Press
TRIESTE,/ug. 31.—This big
Adriatic free port went about
business as usual today despite a
clamorous word war between
Italy and Yugoslavia over the
long-disputed Trieste “free ter
ritory.”
Despite Italian troop move
ments toward the border, the
charges and counter - charges
that each nation planned to
grab part of the occupied zone,
Trieste city remained free of
demonstrations or even unusual
public interest in latest develop
ments in the long dispute.
Yugoslavia officially denied
yesterday Italian charges that
that President Tito was getting
ready to annex the territory’s
Zone B, south of the port city,
which Yugoslavia occupies and
administers under the Italian
peace treaty.
U. S. Support Charged.
Yugoslav Foreign Undersecre
tary Ales Bebler also charged
yesterday in a speech at Idrija,
on the Slovene coast, that the
Italians were “endeavoring with
all means available” to annex
the United States-British occu
pied- Zone A of the territory,
which includes the port.
Bebler asserted that “the Ital
ians are getting the support of
the Anglo - American military
government in Trieste.”
United States diplomats in
Rome and Belgrade were report
ed relatively undisturbed over
the increased tension between
Italy and Yugoslavia.
Officials in Rome confirmed
that an Italian infantry regi
ment and an armored battalion
had been deployed along the
Yugoslav border north of Trieste
and that other army units in
Northwest Italy had been put on
the alert. But the officials
termed these actions “routine ex
ercises” as part of maneuvers
under way in the area for some
time.
Ship Movements Reported.
Rome newspapers reported,
without official explanation, that
an Italian cruiser, two destroyers
and a number of small vessels
sailed last night into Venice Har
bor, across the Northern Adriatic
from Trieste.
Trieste’s Italian-language press
echoed Rome’s fears at possible
new Yugoslav moves and the
city’s political leaders conferred
about the situation. The gen
eral public, however, remained
unexcited.
Italy’s 1947 peace treaty pro
vided that all Trieste be a free
, territory under United Nations
supervision but the Western pow
ers and Russia have never been
able to agree on an international
governor. In the absence of this
agreement, the British-American
and Yugoslav occupations of the
two zones have continued.
The Western allies have been
hopeful Tito and the Italians
would reach agreement on Tri
este in direct negotiations, but
so far the two neighbors have
not even been able to agree on
bases on which to start talks.

Phone Strike
Os 53,000 in
6 States Ends
By tha Associated Press
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 31.—A con
tract agreement ending the 11-
day-old Southwestern Bell Tele
phone Co. strike was reached
this morning.
Officials said the 53,000 strik
ing CIO Communications Work
ers were to return to work on
their next regular shifts.
The end of the six-State strike
came after an all-night negotia
tion session at a hotel here.
The contract is for one year,
effetcive yesterday. It calls for
a general wage increase ranging
from $1.50 to $3 a week, depend
ing on seniority and job classi
fication.
Wages ranged from $35 to $95
weekly under the old contract.
A compromise was reached on
the issue that had proved the
main stumbling block, a com
pany-proposed clause designed to
end “quickie” strikes.
“We don’t consider it a no
strike clause,” said Frank P.
Lonergan, vice president of
CWA’s District 6. “We got out
the objectionable wording. As it
now stands, it covers grievances
and an arbitration system.”
Free-Ballooning Piccard
Ends Flight in River
By th« Associated Press
RIVER VIEW BEACH, N. J.,
Aug. 31. A family habit of
floating through the strato
sphere in a free balloon ended in
a river yesterday for Donald L.
Piccard.
The son of Dr. Jean Piccard,
noted scientist who made the
first free balloon flight into the
stratosphere, took off from Ches

the balloon’s descent into the
river.
The balloon was towed to

Return of All Reaffirmed.
The Communists, meanwhile,
reaffirmed assurances they will
return all Allied prisoners who
want to go home include those
accused of crimes before or after
their capture.

Allied delegate, asked whether
the Reds would repatriate all
prisoners who want to return.
The meeting was called at Red

Chinese POWs last week in U.
N. camps on Cheju Island.
A U. N. command said the
Nationalists reassured the Chi

will decide their fate.
The Reds have returned 2,827
Americans, leaving 486 still
scheduled for repatriation, ac
cording to their early figure.
But liberated Americans who
were at Kaesong over the week
end said more than 1,000 non-
Korean POWs were still awaiting
repatriation.
They said most of the men
were American and British ser

Officials said those arrested
today were carrying 200 West
German marks ($47.60) each,
along with forged papers and
big bundles of propaganda.
Frontier Patrols Strengthened.
The federal border police
strengthened their patrols to
keep agents from seeping across
the frontier at isolated points.
West German officials said the

'Revived' POW to Rejoin Bewildered Family
By the Associated pros*
NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—The
parents and wife of Air Force
Capt. Ronald C. Harry. 35,
learned today that he is coming
home from Korea as a released
prisoner of war.
But that is only half the story.
Capt. Harry went to Korea in
February, 1952. In June of that
year, Mr. and Mrs. Chester
Harry of Brooklyn, his parents,
and his wife, Gertrude, got a
happy letter from the captain.
He felt fine and, in his next
letter, would send .them a pic

Western Chancellor Konrad Ad
enauer.
About 1,000 of the young Reds
were arrested as they crossed the
border at Helmstedt. In other
areas, 144 were nabbed in Schles
wig-Holstein state; 150 in Bebra,
130 in Coburg, 170 in Altenau. 30
in Munich and 30 in the Rhine
land-Palatinate state.
Hauled Back in Trucks.
Some of the Communist agents
were hauled back to the border
by truck. Others were ar
raigned before West German
courts or held for questioning.
An estimated $35,000 worth of
West German marks were con
fiscated.
Some of those forced back
across the border into East Ger
many cursed the police as trai
tors and swore they would be
back. Some, however, said un
der questioning that they had
been forced into the campaign
by threats against themselves or
their families.
The West German government
has charged Moscow with spend
ing huge sums in an under
ground campaign against Mr.
Adenauer’s Christian Democrats.
Although the Communists can’t
hope to win government control
in West Germany, they would
like to seat a neutral regime that
would block defense efforts with
the West.
Koreans Must Settle
Unity, Kim Declares
By the Associoted Pros*
TOKYO, Aug. 31.—The Reds’
Pyongyang radio said today
North Korean Premier Kim H
Sung declared that unification
of the war-torn peninsula “must
be settled by Koreans them

The broadcast, heard in
Tokyo, said Kim listed that as
one of two main tasks of the
Korean political conference.
The other, Kim said, is to
“kick out America and its Allied
troops from South Korea.”
The broadcast said Kim out
lined his stand in a one-hour
speech before the North Korean

Kim declared North Korea will
make “utmost efforts” for peace
at the conference, the broadcast
said, but he warned that “others

South Korea Denies Bid
For Van Fleet Services
By tho Associated Press
; SEOUL, Aug. 31.—A South
Korean government spokesman
today denied a report that Presi
dent Syngman Rhee has asked
Gen. James A. Van Fleet to com
mand ROK military forces as
Korean general of the army.
Dr. Karl Hong Kee, director
of the government office of pub
lic information, said such a re
port is “absolutely unfounded.”
An hour after the letter was
received the Brooklyn home was
plunged into sorrow. An Army
Department telegram said Capt.
Harry was missing in action.
Hope faded as months passed.
Then last June, a repatriated
captain from Korea contacted
the Harrys. He said he had
seen Capt. Harry in a prisoner
of war camp.
Naturally, their joy was un
bounded.
Two weeks ago came official
word: the captain was listed
as dead in a POW camp.

Ben Gold Surrenders
To U. S. Authorities;
SIO,OOO Bail Fixed
Indicted on Charges
Os Lying on Red Link;
Union Offers Bond
By the Associated Press
Ben Gold, Fur Workers' Union
president, surrendered today on
a three-count indictment charg
ing he lied when he swore in an
affidavit in August, 1950, that
he was not a, Communist.
Mr. Gold showed up at the
office of United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover and was taken
by marshals to the clerk’s office
to post SIO,OOO bail.
This bail was fixed Friday by
United States District Judge
Charles F. McLaughlin at the
Government’s request.
Two attorneys, Harold Cam
mer of New York and David
Rein of Washington, accom
panied Mr. Gold when he sur
rendered. The lawyers said Mr.
Gold’s union, the International
Fur and Leather Workers, ar
ranged to post the bail in the
form of United States Treasury
notes.
Mr. Gold swore in a statement
filed with the National Labor
Relations Board that he was not
then a member of the Com
munist Party, had no affiliation
with the party, and did not sup
port its policies.
The indictment charged that
all three statements were false.
Mr. Gold, 54, used to be an
avowed Communist, but claimed
he severed his party ties in
order to sign the non-Com
munist affidavit filed with the
NLRB.
Unions whose members sign
such affidavits are eligible to use
the services of the NLRB. Mr.
Gold’s union, which claims a
membership of 100,000, was
kicked out of the CIO in 1949
on charges of being Communist
dominated.
Knowland Talks With Rhee
And Prime Minister Paik
By th* Associated Press
SEOUL, Aug. 31. —Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia conferred with President
Syngman Rhee for an hour to
day at the presidential mansion.
United States Ambassador
Ellis O. Briggs sat in on the
meeting which the United States
Embassy called “routine.”
It was Senator Knowland’s
second meeting with the South
Korean President since the Sen
ate majority leader arrived in
Korea Friday on a fact-finding
survey.
Senator Knowland also met
with South Korean Prime Min
ister Paik Too Chin after his
talk with Mr. Rhee.
Mr, Paik, who also is the
finance minister, is said to have
discussed South Korea's eco
nomic problems.
Senator Knowland plans to
visit Freedom Village, the allied
prisoner of war repatriation cen
ter at Munsan. tomorrow.
Since then, the radio in the
Harry home has seldom been
turned on. Announcements of
returning prisoners bringing
joy to so many others—only
deepened their sorrow.
But early today an excited
neighbor telephoned the Harrys.
Capt Harry, alive and well, had
been officially announced among
those in the day’s prisoner ex
change. He is due home in a
couple of weeks.'
There were no “quotes” from
the Harrys. They were not
speechless, just incoherent with

101° Scorcher
Due Today as
Records Topple
Yesterday's 99.3
Broke 72-Year Top;
More Tomorrow
The temperature headed for
101 degrees this afternoon and
promised to be the hottest day
of the year.
Yesterday the mercury soared
to 99.3 degrees, smashing a 72-
year-old heat record for that
date by four degrees. No relief
was in prospect from the heat
wave that has driven the ther
mometer above 90 degrees for
six straight days.
Yesterday was the hottest day
so far this year. Tomorrow the
Weather Bureau said the tem
perature would hit 100 degrees
again.
May Smash Another Top.
If the mercury climbs to 101
degrees today, It will break the
record for this date also. The
record for the day is 100 degrees
set in 1932.
Besides the wilting effect on
people, large numbers of whom
sought relief at beaches and other
resorts yesterday, the heat and
lack of rain was scorching the
District’s trees.
National Capital Parks had
some 200 men out today watering
the trees along Constitution ave
nue from Fourth to Fifteenth
streets, on Mount Vernon boule
vard and around the public build
ings. It uasn't rained here since
August 17.
Surpasses July Heat.
The high yesterday came at
3:45 p.m. The previous record
high of 95 for the date was set in
1881 and equaled in 1932. The
previous high for the season was
recorded at 99 on July 30.
Yesterday was somewhat more
| comfortable than it might have
| been, since the humidity regis
! tered a low 20 per cent at the
j time of the peak temperature.
' And, the Weather Bureau added,
i the all-time high for August was
I 106. set in 1918.
j The hot dry weather was
: blamed on an air mass which
! has stagnated over the area. The
air was cool when it came from
! Canada, but it has been warm
ing up all the time.
Texas Hits 106.
Among the hottest spots east
of the Mississippi were Waldorf,
Md., and Gordonsville and
Strasburg, Va., all recording 103
degrees. Baltimore and Rich
mond both had 101. The hot
test in the country was 106 in
Presidio, Tex., the Weather Bu
reau said.
A National Capital Parks hor
ticulturist said that Washing
tons trees had not recovered
from the previous dry spell from
the first of June to mid-July
when the latest onslaught came.
He said the scorch of the
sycamores is the first he could
remember in his 20-odd years
of service, and that even large,
mature oaks were suffering. The
effect now, however, is not con
sidered as serious as it might
have been earlier in the season.
New Polio Case in D. C.,
3 More in Prince GCorges
One new case of polio was re
ported in the Distiict today. It
was the 37th case so far this

The new case, according to the
Health Department, is a 29-year
old man living in he 400 black of
Thirty-third street N.E. He has
been admitted to Providence
