Frey said several wealthy per

to offer Mrs. McLean up to $1,

could thus djplicate her social
success. But in her lifetime she
wouldn't sell it.
Other Examples Cited
Among the financial titans of
the past who used Jewelry to
widen their fame or notoriety
were "Diamond Jim" Brady and
J. J. Hill, the "empire builder."
"Hill carried a heart-shaped
emerald in his pocket as a good
luck token," said Frey. "It was
quite a token worth $250,000.
And his estate sold it at a profit
after his death."
Some Jewelers think that for
good taste and quality the great
est American collector was Mrs.
Elbert T. Gary, wife of the steel
magnate.
"One of her finest pieces was a
rope of 161 perfectly matched sin

Some 500 Jewelers have re
quested permission to display it.
The Hope diamond's value comes
not so much from its size there
are perhaps 20 other top quality
stones that equal its 44 i carat
weight ai from its unique blue
color.
The base of the diamond mar
ket is still the man of middle in

a half-carat engigement ring.
Recently there has been an Influx

Male Trade Coming Back
Jewelers also are excited over
the prospect of reviving gem
wearing among men.
"We rather let that market slip
away from us," sighed Frey. "But

Explanation Of
Vatican Decree
Eases Severity
VATICAN CITY, July 27. (.T)
L'Osservatore Romano, the Vati
can newspaper, said Tuesday
Catholics who support commu
nism with votes but who do not
adopt its anti-Christian doctrine
are not excommunicated from the
Roman Catholic church.
The newspaper presented this
view In a front page editorial
an exhaustive analysis of the re
cent order of the Vatican decree
ing excommunication for anti
Christian and materialistic active
communists.
However, the newspaper said,
now that the decree has been
issued, Catholics are forewarn
ed of the danger Involved in
favoring communism.
There is no doubt that com
munist propaganda has misled
many faithful who believe that
communism is not anti-religious
and that it Is to he favored on
the social and political grounds.
But after the decree of the holy
office, these faithful will not be

Marshall Plan
Benefit Not Full,
Baruch Discovers
NEW YORK. July 27. "
Bernard Baruch said Tuesday on
arriving from Europe that the
Marshall plan has been effect
ive "but not as effective as it
should have been."
The white-haired financier aln
said he believed Britain was
spending too much time on na
tionalization and "not devoting
sufficient energy to developing
their country and Its production.
Baruch was asked, "do you
think the European countries
would help themselves more if
we help them less?"
"There's a heap of sense In
that." he answered.
Asked his opinion of U. S.
business conditions, the financier
said "I do not agree with those
people who claim we have a
slump here In America and that
we are looking more toward the
left than to the right. No nation
ever adopted communism volun
tarily. "If we happen to lose a little
money, and we've suffered thia
before, we'll tighten our belts
and go ahead as we have done."
He commented that this coun
try is spending billions "gird
ing itself for defense." In reply
to a question as to whether this
is necessary, he said:
"Unfortunately, yes."

CLEVELAND, July 25 -m
C.en. Jonathan M. Walnwrlght,
hero of Bataan, sees the Atlantic
Pact as an "invitation to another
war."
The retired officer told an In
terviewer that he found little
good for the United States In the
agreement and felt that in the
event of war, this country would
"face it almost alone."
"Possibly some help from Eng
land" might come, he added.
Instead of spending millions on
European countries, Gen, Waln

should rebuild our own defenses,
"which have been let down to a
