A desire for more money, police said, led to the exposure In Kensett, Ark., of a recent y arrived electrical worker who used tho name of Henry Knapp and told friends he was hiding from "persecution." Aurora's police chief, Fred Hess, said a bonaflde $1400 check drawn on Heuvel's Oregon ac count was the first clue to the hideout of the cx-po ice off 1c al who fled Klamath Falls after in dictment on several morals ChTheSchcck had been cashed hore.

The Kensett resident explained that a friend, Earl Heuvel, had been forced to hide out in that town to escape un just "persecution." Not realizing a criminal charge was involved, they cashed the check as a favor to their friend. Police Chief Hess said that when Oregon authorities asked him to trace Heuvel, the en dorsers told him the story. Arkansas officials then talked to Heuvel's friend in Kensett, and arrested Heuvel, In the electrical shop where he was working. Sheriff Lloyd Low said today that the FBI will bring ex-Police Chief Earl Heuvel to Oregon, and that in view of the federal charge, extradition procedure would not be necessary. The sheriff said he expects the FBI to turn Heuvel over to Klamath authorities when he gets into this state, for prosecution on state morals charges. Forger Sentenced To lS-Year Term Lawrence J. Bennett, 46, whp had pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery, was sentenced to a period of time not to exceed 15 years in the Oregon state peni tentiary by Judge David R. Vandenberg in circuit court this morning. . Bennett was alleged to have forged a check for $120 on H. Douglas Whlteline of Swan lake on May 1, 1945. Bennett had waived preliminary hearing and grand jury indictment. . , It was revealed that Bennett possesses a long criminal rec ord. He was convicted of second degree murder in California in May of 1025, and served 13 years and five months of a 30 year sentence in San Quentin penitentiary. He was released on parole October 30, 1938. After his release he was ar rnated for strongarm robbery in Shasta county. California, but war free d when a jury dis agreed on the Case, Bennett said. Over a period of years he had been arrested numerous times for vaeranov and forgery and had recently completed serving 18 months- of a two year sentence in California for lorgery, Future War Ability Of Germany Doomed SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EX PEDITIONARY FORCE, PARIS, June 9 Germany will be stripped of various industries to destroy her future war potentiality, through one of the principal functions of the reparations program, Ambassador Edwin W. Pauley, Presi dent Truman's personal representative on the allied reparations commission, announced today. Pauley said it was the view of the United States that any German industries of a war nature which could not be removed should be destroyed. "We do not want another war to take place," Pauley said, "and we are anxious to see that type of equipment taken out of Germany, even though we don't want it ourselves." 1 Pauley heads the American delegation en route to the initial reparations conference to be held in Moscow under plans laid down at the Yalta conference. Definite U. S. Program Pauley indicated that the American delega tion, which just completed a lengthy survey in the American-occupied zone of Germany, was going to Moscow with a definite program in mind, but virtually in the dark as to the desires of Russia and Britain, the only other powers to be represented at the initial meeting. He said there had been no exchange of views. - Pauley and 18 to 20 others of the 35-man delegation will leave Monday for Moscow, while the remainder, all technical representa tives, will continue studying the possibilities of reparations in Germany. Speaking atrictly as an American represen tative and principally on a basis of preliminary observations made in Germany during the past few weeks, Pauley told correspondents that the United states realized mistakes were made in reparations after World War I and "we don't intend to make the same ones this time." Basis For Reparations Damage to property and cost of effort and energy in defeating the enemy form the princi pal basis for reparations, Pauley said, pointing out that the United States was short on the for mer but long on the latter. "It would be futile for us to seek repayment for the total cost of our war effort," he said. "Both money and lives are gone." But he declared the United States would assert-a claim, although "as to what it will be I am not prepared to say." Disclosing that the United States is feeding 7,000,000 persons in . Germany, including its troops, prisoners of war and displaced persons, Pauley said it seemed like false economy to consider reparations until after that burden was lifted. s , . He and his staff' found that Germany's trans portation system was so wrecked by allied bombing that it would take an inestimable time to repair it; but her industrial capacity with few exceptions, such as fuel production could be restored in up to eight months. " 1 ' ill BATTLE TO CONTINUE TO TOP CGI T PARIS, June 9 (P) The U. S army disclosed today it plans to retain 600,000 German prisoners of war as laborers. When victory came, American armies held 2,852,000 German war prisoners on the continent. In addition to the 600,000 to be used by the American army, ar rangements have been completed for transferring 200,000 to 225, 000 American-held prisoners to France for labor, Colonel Robert J. Gill of the U. S. provost mar shal's office disclosed . at su preme headquarters. These prisoners, who will come under complete charge of the French just as if the French had captured them are now held in seven inclosures in France. With nearly 500,000 prisoners in the United States and others in Britain, Gill estimated it would take at least nine months to reduce the total figure to 600,000 by various means, some of which have not been decided upon definitely. He said about 18 per cent of the total, would be discharged and sent home under the plan to release all miners, farmers and transport workers, women pris oners and men over 50 not sus pected of war crimes.

CHICAGO, June 9 (fl5) The government's court battle with Montgomery iV;aT d and com pany over seizure of the mail order house properties, declared legal by the U. S. circuit court of appeals,, appeared headed to day to the U. S. supreme court for final decision. .

Vandenberg Raps Jail Management ' Circuit Court Judge David R.

With more certainty than they have shown previously most delegates are talking about June 20 as the windup date on which President Truman may address tne conference, though some few still held hope for June 15 or 16.

Under this for mula, the great powers would retain a veto control over all ma jor decisions of the proposed world security council. A pre liminary subcommittee meeting was scheduled for earlier in tne day. Since Russia agreed with the United States, Britain, China and France Thursday mat tne veto could not be used to prevent free discussion in the council, it only remains now for the small na tions to express their views on the formula.

Zhukov, second in command to Marshal Stalin in the red army, said however, that Hitler had good opportunities to make a getaway with his bride. Air Trip Possible Zhukov said Hitler "could have taken off at the very last moment, for there was an air field at his disposal." . He continued: "It is well known that two days before Berlin fell Hitler married Eva Braun.
