This raised to 2700 the num ber of East German youths who sought asylum in West Berlin in the last four weeks, officials said. The youths said they fled be cause pressure was being placed upon them to enlist in the "Bar racks Peoples Police" which is being converted into an army under the Red pact signed in Warsaw. Western officials expected the number of youthful refugees to rise still more as a result of new remilitarization steps taken at this week's convention of the East German Communist Youth Organization. The "Free German Youth" amended its Constitution to drop. a ban against military service. Welfare Commission Adopts New Rules Portland (U.R) The State Public Welfare Commission has designed to clamp down on abuses of the aid to dependent children phase ofpublic grants.

Present waiting period is 30 days. Administrator Mrs. Loa How ard Mason also received commis sion authorization to hire five investigators to help halt abuses of the program, in line with the recommendation of the joint ways and means committee of the 1955 Legislature.

The surprise was well guarded, but also well planned. Emotional Strain Worries Papa Oliva's biggest worry was the emotional strain of the meeting. It was the first birth day celebration always a big event in French-Canadian fam ilies that saw the famous cir cle of five broken. Emilie died of an epileptic attack last Au gust. The big problem was the question of birthday presents. The quints have practically everything they could want, their needs are small, and they have more money than they can spend. They automatically re ceived a $1,000,000 fortune with their coming of age yesterday. Until the last minute, Dionne had maintained there would be merely a "happy birthday" call to Montreal, where Yvonne and Cecile are student nurses in a Catholic hospital and Annette is studying to be. a music teacher. First Word From Sister He had said the three couldn't get a long week end off, and that his wife had decided a trip to Montreal v)uld be "too fatigu ing" after she learned she could meet her daughters at only one meal. The first word of the ren dezvous came from an older sis ter, Mrs. Maurice Girouard of Waterloo, Que., who disclosed that Yvonne, Annette and Cecile had "slipped out of Montreal by car." Police Beating Affidavit Attacked Portland (U.R) The state has attacked an affidavit charg ing that Portland police beat a key prosecution witness who testified at the recent murder trial of Wey Him Fong and his wife, Sherry. Multnomah County Prosecu tor Howard Lonergan said the affidavit was "frivolous" and was only hearsay. He further contended it was filed too late and did not bear on the-murder trial. He asked that It be stricken from the record. The affidavit, signed by Erma Lomboy of Portland, charges that prosecution witness Rio Riego told her of being beaten for three days by city police. Riego testified at the recent trial that Fong, who with Sherry were convicted of the murder of 16-y8ar-old Diane Hank, had asked him io help remove a body.
