Caudle To Tell
Jury of Dealing
With Schwimmer
St. Louis (U.R) T. Lamar
Caudle goes before a federal
Grand Jury today for the third
time to testify on his dealings
with Harry I. Schwimmer, a
Kansas, City attorney under in
dictment for perjury.
Caudle, former head of the
"Justice Department Tax Divis
ion, said yesterday Schwimmer
deeded him $750 in oil royalties
in return for a stock market
tip.
He r'-sisted the royalties were
deeded to him without his know
ledge, after Schwimmer made a
large sum on the stock tip.
Terribly Worried
"I was terribly worried about
it horrified," Caudle told news
men after spending the after
noon with the Grand Jury. "I
begged him to prepare a deed
to reti n the royalties."
Caudle said the royalties
deeded to him were returned to
Schwimmer through a new deed
which was quickly drawn up.
A few hours before Caudle ap
peared before the Grand Jury
yesterday Schwimmer appeared
in the U.S. District Court and
pleaded innocent to charges of
perjury.
An indictment charged that
he testified falsely that a $10,000
fund he received from his client,
Irving Sachs, a shoe broker, was
a legal fee. The government
charged the fund was to be used
to "bribe public officials."

U.S. Children Physically
Unfit, Says Institute Director
By ELIN LAKE
United Press Correspondent
fs'ew York 'U.R; One fem
inine authority says that unless
we build up our physical fitness
we soon will be in sad shape
literally.
Bonnie Prudden, director of
the Institute for Physical Fit
ness, recently reported to the
White House on the results of
extensive tests she had made of
fitness of children in this coun
try and Europe.
She said the study involved
six basic muscle tests and was
used to show the difference be
tween children who are ill and
those who are healthy enough
to participate in average daily
chores.
Blames Parents
Only eight and one-half per
cent of the European youngsters
failed the tests; more than 56
per cent of the children in this
country flunked.
Miss Prudden, who away from
her professional life is Mrs. Ruth
Hirschland and the mother of
two, blames parents for letting
children grow up without
muscle.
"Parents are forever shouting
'no, no,' when a child wants to
climb a tree, ride a horse or
show normal interest in other
active sports." she said.
"From the very beginning,
children are shoved into play
pens, ridden around in super-market
carts, and when they reach
school age, are taken to class in
a bus," she complained.
She said by the time today's
child is three, he's used to pas
sive recreation.
"And when children should be
hiking or ice-skating, they are
sitting in the living room watch
ing a baseball game on televis
ion." she said.
She called the school bus the
child's "worst enemy." Back in
the "gold old days" of exercise,
children walked to school and
grew up into healthier specimens
for it, she said.
Miss Prudden said European
children may be healthier than
American ones, because they are
less pampered.
"In Germany or England,"
she said, "a child is helping his
mother carry groceries home by
the time he is two or three.
"There's none of this business
of stuffing groceries in Junior's
stroller so he can ride back from
the market in comfort."
She quoted one military man
as saying that during the Korean
war, American soldiers "died
like flies" on "death marches,"
while European and Asiatic pris
oners survived because they had
been trained for endurance from
childhood.
"It is better for a healthy child
to get a broken arm from climb
ing a tree than for his mother to
keep him from exercising." she
said.
Fishing Boat Said
Missing Several Days
Seattle (U.R) A 47-foot fish
boat, the Wilma S., has been
missing since last Thursday
when it left Blaine, Wash., en
route to Westport, the Coast
Guard reported today.
Two persons, Alex Pepin of
Westport and Arvid Fakari, ad
dress unknown, were aboard the
boat when it left Blaine, the
Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard said it has
run harbor checks in an effort
to find the boat and is using
planes and boats in a search for
the missing vessel.
Californians To
Tell Wafer Views
Washington (U.R) , Rep.
Glenard P. Lipscomb (R-Calif.)
said today Californians h.ave
been invited to express their
views at congressional hearings
on the Hoover Commission's wa
ter resources and power recom
mendations. A House Government Opera
tions Subcommittee of which
Lipscomb is a member is sched
uled to hold hearings in Los
Angeles Dec. 7 and 8.
Lipscomb said investigations
have been sent to California con
gressmen, members of Assembly
and Senate, and officials of the
state government, Los Angeles
county and the City of Los An
geles. The subcommittee also has
scheduled hearings in Denver to
day and tomorrow; Lewiston,
Idaho, Friday; Portland Monday
and Tuesday; and Austin, Tex.,
Dec. 12.
Bullion Dealers
Cut Silver Price
New York (U.R) Handy &
Harmon, bullion dealers, today
cut the price of silver one cent
to 90 cents a fine ounce, the low
est price in five months.
This is the second reduction
in two days and brings the price
of the white metal to its lowest
level since June 29 when it also
held at 90 cents.
Yesterday, Handy & Garman
cut the price b cent and said
the reduction reflected a season
al decline in demand from the
arts and silverware .industry
after substantial buying in recent
months in preparation for the
Christmas holiday season. An
other factor, they said, is a lack
of desire on the part of silver
producers to accumulate the met
al at high levels.

Argentine President Expected
To Return La Prensa To Owners
Buenos Aires U.P.) Presi
dent Pedro E. Aramburu is ex
pected to issue today a formal
decree-law returning the news
paper La Prensa to its rightful
owners and correcting an "out
rage perpetrated by ousted dic
tator Juan D. Peron.
Aramburu told a press con
ference Monday night his gov
ernment had decided to return
the world - famous newspaper
which was confiscated in 1951
by the Peron regime and that
details would be made public in
a formal decree.
Authoritative sources said that
Aramburu already had signed
the decree-law and that it was
being copied for distribution,
thus ending one of the greatest
cases involving freedom of the
press and one that brought
world-wide protests! It was un
understood the action was based
on the fact Peron's seizure of the
newspaper was unconstitutional.
"The government has resolved
the situation of the daily La
Prensa," Aramburu told the
press conference: "By doing it,
it does no more than to repair
the outrage against this - great
newspaper. The details will be
known in a decree to be issued
by the executive power."
Editor To Return
Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, for
mer editor and publisher of La
Prensa, hailed Aramburu's an
nouncement as "wonderful
news." Gainza Paz was prepar
ing to leave New York by plane
Wednesday afternoon and re
turn to Buenos Aires some time
Thursday.
Aramburu's press conference
was the first he has held since
he took office two weeks ago.
He did not submit to questioning
but brought up the subject of
La Prensa himself in a ten-minute
speech.
The president was flanked by
Vice-President Isaac Rojas and
his press secretary, Adolfo La
nus, formerly an editorial writ
er for La Prensa.
Aramburu said his govern
ment is not worried about any
internal problems because it has
the backing of the armed forces

whose goals and ideals are the
same as those of the Argentine
people-democracy.
He said the economic situa
tion was grim but not hopeless.
Became Union Organ
La Prensa was seized by the
Peron government on Jan. 26,
1951. It became the official or
gan of the CGT which with a
claimed membership of six mil
lion was the principal support
of the Peronista regime.
Even before 1951 Peron had
acted against La Prensa, a fear
less foe of his regime. An army
decree closed it for five days in
1944.
On Jan. 26, 1951, the paper
was prepared as usual but news
vendors refused to handle it on
orders of the Peron govern
ment. Hoodlums entered the
plant. Loyal employees tried to
publish anyway and one was
killed in a battle with strong
arm men.
Peron's government announc
ed on March 5 a federal judge
had charged Gainza Paz with
violation of security laws, and
the formal seizure came on
March 20. Later congress "au
thorized" the seizure.
