F.D.Rs Papers Subpoenaed in Senate Inquiry POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., July 21.--W) Dutchess County Sur rogate Frederick S. Qulntcrror ruled today that all the papers and files of the Late President Roosevelt are "a valid and effec tive gift to the United States government to be placed, main tained and preserved in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park. The decision came as part of a Judicial settlement of the ac count of proceedings of James Roosevelt, Basil O'Connor and Henry P. Hackett as executors of the last will and testament of Mr. Roosevelt. Last Spring, when the Senate War Investigating committee sought permission to go through the papers in search of inlorma--tlon dealing with Navy purch ases of Arabian oil, Fred W. Shlpman, librarian, said "at such time and if the Roosevelt papers are turned over to the govern ment by court order, the United Slates archivist would place no Insurmountable luoblem in mak ing the papers available to a Senate committee or any other government body for official use." At that time. President Tru man had rejected the request for the' papers and wrote the exe cutors asking for any papers re levant to the inquiry. Shlpman could not be reached Immediately for comment on the surrogate's decision. Yesterday the Senate War In vestigating Committee subpoen aed papers of the Late President for an Inquiry aimed at deter mining who authorized a war time contract to Howard Hughes for construction of an experi mental flying boat. Earle R. Koons, an attorney for the Roosevelt estate, refer ring to the subpoena, said today "no one knows whether the docu ments sought are among Mr. Roosevelt's papers. If they are they will be supplied lo the com mittee as soon as possible. Every effort will be made to comply with the subpoena." A treasure trove is the legal expression for coin, bullion, gold, or silver arlicles, found hidden in the earth and for which no owner can be found. DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS As all coupons on railroad tickets are marked "not good if detached," so Xruitfulness in Christian living must be based upon our unjon. with Christ. For without me ye can. do nothing." The Scripture read ing in John, 15 chapter, embod ies ah immortal lesson. It is a reminder that Christ and we, who are his disciples, are mutually dependent. The vine and the .brarcijes i:re equally helpless withoet each other. We may thwart Cod's plan, delay or .defeat l is purpose through our s.'lf jhness and sin. "Ye have limited the Holy one of Israel." The lesson sug gests also that one stream of life flows through God and us. "Abide in me and I in you." As our lives are .knitted together in Christ, the divine husband man grafts us into the "true vine," and His life flows in and through us. The fruitage of all this is Christian service. "Here in is My Father glorified that yet bear much fruit." All planting, pruning and purging are for fruit. What concern and care God has for our lives. "Must I go, and empty hand ed, Thus my dear Redeemer meet ? Not one soul with which to greet Him, Lay no trophies at His feet?" Amen. Slaughter Orgy Followed Plot To Murder Hitler LONDON, July 20. UP) The British Admiralty asserted today that more than 4.980 Germans were shot, hanged or tortured to death In a reign of terror it said followed the unsuccessful at tempt to assassinate Adolph Hit ler in 1911. In a report it said was based on captured German documents, the Admiralty said the "terror which followed (the attempt) was one of the worst that Hitler ever organized against his own people." ine report traced the begin ning of the revolt, led by Col. Gen. Ludwlg Beck, back to 1938. when he resigned as chief of staff in protest against the in tended Invasion ot Czechoslo vakia. "The revolt was essentially a revolt from the top," the report said. "It was impossible under the regime of Himmler's gestapo lor ordinary people to take part. In the attempted assassination. July 20, 1944, a bomb was placed under Hitlers chair at a stall meeting. The Hritlsh report said leaders of the attempt were shot or tor tured to death and "terror raged for the next six months and guil ty and Innocent alike were tor tured and massacred ." Housing Program Sets New Record During June CHICAGO, July 21. UP) The nation's housing program start ing and completion of homes reached a new 20-year high in June, Charles J. Horan, regional housing cxpeditor in Chicago said. There were 358,000 permanent houses started in the first six months this year, Horan said, the highest total since the middle twenties and surpassed the 1910 total by approximately 18,700 units. He said about 75.000 new permanent houses were started in June as compared with ap proximately 64,000 in June, 194(i and 72,500 last May. Completions for the first half of 10-17 totaled 312,800 units, com pared with 128,(00 for the same period last year. In June (i2,800 new iiernianen units were com pleted, more than double the to tal of .'tO.tiOO in June, 19-16. and the highest month's t-nmnli'tion record since the end of the war.

C United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration has officially gone put of business in every country except China, but the auditors as well as the memories linger on. The auditors will .be around till the end of the yeaV at least, try ing to balance the books on the world's greatest experiment in In ternational co-operation to relieve human suffering. Whether that experiment is re garded as success or failure, the final audit should bring out in much clearer focus what was done with the money received from the sale of UNRRA supplies in the 17 war-torn nations. The general impression is that all these supplies were given away In a gigantic soup-kitchen operation. That's far from the truth. One of the original condi tions of the UNRRA set-up was that, wherever possible, relief and rehabilitation supplies should be sold In the country that got mem. ine idea was to start the wheels of normal trade relations and exchange of goods roiling again. Money received from the sale of UNRRA supplies was not how- ever, to De returned to the 31 countries that paid for them. In stead it was specified that the receipts should be spent in the country of sale for permanent re construction or further relief and rehabilitation. For every dollar put into UNRRA it was hoped that another dollar's worth of good might be done in the rein vestment turnover. How. close UNRRA came to achieving this goal, nobody knows. Of the $3.7 billion UNRRA fund, $2.9 billion went for sup plies. The other S800 million covered administration, shipping and distribution costs. Where Money Went What the $2.9 billion went for is known. Roughly $1250 million went for food, $-125 million for clothing, $125 million for medi cine, $350 million for rehabilita tion, st80 minion lor industrial rehabilitation and $120 million for special forms of relief. But what portion of each category was sold, and what part given away, UNRRA doesn't know. Rea sons given are that UNRRA sup plies are not all disposed of yet, and that the manner of distribu tion and form of reinvestment was loft to each country. Their re ports vary in completeness and accuracy. Czechoslovakia s reports are probably in best shape. This coun try has worked out a complete two-year plan for reinvestment of the $265 million it hones to re ceive from sale of UNRRA sup plies to its people.! in Italy, money received Irom resale of UNRRA supplies has been put into a special Lire Fund. It is expected to reach $165 mil lion. This has been budgeted to go 40 per cent for housing, 50 per cent to health and welfare serv ices, 10 per cent to agricultural rehabilitation. Wildly Distributed Poland got approximately $181 million worth of UNRRA aid. Most of it was given away as this country was one of the worst ravaged by war. Only 573 million was received trom sales and the proceeds made available for rein vestment. Most of this went to re-eouin looted hospitals and clinics. Over $1 million was transferred to the International Children's Fund, World Health Organization and other voluntary relief organiza tions which took over when UNRRA pulled out of Warsaw June 30. These are at best sketchy re. ports from only three of the 17 countries which UNRRA tried to aid. The point not to be lost sight of is that by this sale and rein. vestment from a part of the sup plies, UNRRA did more good than the mere filling of an emntv bellv. The result was that UNRRA was ROBIN TWO MAKE sr'nvtcf. inc T "Pcfl.'V.

FORTY YEARS GALLOPED DOWM MAIN STREEf LIKE MAN O WAR. Russia Not Thinking of War, Educator Declares AUSTIN, Tex., July 20. (P Dr. Robert H. Montgomery, Uni versity of Texas professor who helped the army pick wartime A-bomb targets, asserts that Rus sia isn't thinking about war. ' "They are not completely crazy," the economics professor told the-Texas power reserve, an organization of -rural coopera: tives. "In 24 hours we could wipe out 75,000,000 Russians and not lose 100, men. They know it." He urged that atomic energy be put to peaceful use, which he said could result in a truly Christ ian world, "not tomorrow, but very soon." "The proper use of atomic power would mean plenty of food, plenty of shelter, plenty of every thing for all men,'' he asserted. "I m not worried about the Rus sians," he said. "I'm worried about us. If we're going to kill them, let's do it now, not wait three years. Rather than that, let's learn what to do about this power for the good of man. The next war won't leave anything here, or there."
