man attack in the Ardennes.
Setting up a special school near
Berlin, the nazis enrolled Ger
man soldiers who spoke English
either with an American or
British accent. After weeks of
training by the SS, the men
were weeded down to a battal
ion headed by Skoneny, who
was appointed by personal or
ders of Adolf Hitler and Himm
ler. Skorzeny himself was be
lieved to have been elected to
kill Eisenhower.
Special small groups of Ger
mans in American uniforms
were sent deep into rear areas
with missions to commit major
sabotage and assassinate key
American generals. The capture
and rigid questioning of some
of these men disclosed the gen
eral plan to the Americans.
Seek Nasi Leaden
As supreme headquarters re
leased this security secret allied
troops from Norway to the Ba
varian Alps were engaged ' in
one of history's largest man
hunts, seeking nari leaders still
at large including Himmler him
self. A British war correspondent
said in a (jispatch from Luene-
traced but not yet arrested, and
that the British second army
could take him into custody at
any time.
Arthur Greiser, former nazi
overlord of Poznan in Poland,
and SS Lt. Gen. Heinz Rcine
farlh, nazi defender of Kuestrin,
have been captured in a moun
tain retreat northwest of Krimml
by troops of the 42nd division
of the U. o. seventh army, a
dispatch from Kitzbuhel, Aus
tria, said.

LONDON. May 18 (VP) Sir

bricks in 58 minutes today in
the house of commons yard, to
support his contention that the
government target tor DncKiay

"absurdly small."
Sir Harrv, who said he had
not done any bricklaying in 47
years, exchanged jests with the
watching crowd, which includ
ed the parliamentary secretary
for the ministry o f works,

The lawmaker, his face flush

Because information of the im

lators und "insiders'' made a fi
nancial killing by acquiring gold
at the old price. '1'he buying
wave was said to have at least
doubled a normal day's transac

Some of the gold involved had
been flown to China as part of a
$500,000,000 loan to help stabi

The government regularly sold
this gold to retire some of the
surplus currency notes Inflating

also responded with a rise in

FOR VETO POWERS
(Continued From Page One)
nat'cntly enough to put It over,
Is forming behind an Australian
Rroposal to pledge the United
atlon's to respect each other's
territuriul integrity and political
Independence. The small na
tions want till" as a protection
against possible power lund
g ralis and also as an approach
to defining what constitutes ag
gression. The big powers scorn
disposed to aCi-opl It.
2. The American delegation
und probably others are nhuut
ready to risk a rift With Russia,
if ncccssui-y, by going abend
wltli a United Stittci formula
for giving regional groups of
nations the right to organize for
their mutual defense In event
the world league fulls to pro
tact thorn from armed attack.
A blg-flvo meeting on this sub
ject was cancelled yesterday
when Ambassador Andrei Gro
myko advised Secretary of State
Stettlulus he was still waiting
for Instructions from Moscow.
3. Strong opposition Is grow
ing up against a propositi, dis
cussed in some conference com
mittees, to allow nations to limit
the nreas In which their forces
might be used to enforce peace.
The big powers particularly are
opposed to this. For example,
it would have tho effect of say
ing the United Stales could
pledge Us peace-keeping forces
to act In the western hemisphere
but nowhere else in the world.
