P.).—Authorities had $500, chicken feather to show for

their efforts today. And their job wasn’t even started.

The job was a search of

thousands of assorted pack-

ages which nearly overflowed the five-room frame house of Miss Ada Kropp, 52-year-old Tuxedo, Md., recluse.

' The object was to find several thousand dollars which Miss Kropp said she had tucked away from a $200-a-month income she had

received from an estate during the

past 20 years.

The search started after Miss Kropp was removed to the hospital

in a diabetic coma. It was first believed she was destitute told authorities later of the cache in her home. ; When officers arrived there they found it clogged with The first 200 parcels yielded $60—mostly in old large-size bills. Lit!

by little more money was discovered. By day’s end it totaled ap-

proximately $500.

glass. He picked it out of a snowbank

near his home and gave it to his

children for a plaything. Thompson's friends suggested it might be valuable and he took it to a pawnshop for appraisal.

The. pawn broker called police,

who returned the bracelet to its

owner. The bracelet was made of platinum set with diamonds. The owner, Mrs. Howard Tippett of Aspen Hill, Md., said it cost $7500.

The Howard Hughes motion picture, held up several years by the Hays office because of a too-prominent display of Jane Russell's charms, was banned here because of “too much shooting,” Mr. Binford

said.

“The picture has too much shooting in it to be a good example for

‘the boys and girls,” Mr. Binford said. “The hero (Billy the Kid) is a ‘bandit who murders everything in sight and gets away with, it.” “It's bad for our youth to see so much of this sort of thing. Why, only today I read in the paper where some boy killed his own father after getting the idea from something he had seen in the movies. “We can't have our. children going around shooting people.” Most western pictures are permitted to play Memphis, Binford said, ‘#hut “The Outlaw’ is more than just'a western and I'm fot going to’

have it here.”

Mr. Binford’s action was his first ban of a film in many months,

after a spree in which he banished

“The Southerner,” “Brewster's Mil-

Hons,” and “Dead End” in quick succession.

POWER OF JAP |

* COURTS 1S CUT

All Nationals.

TOKYO, Feb: 19 (U. P.).-Su-preme allied headquarters today is sued a directive establishing military occupation courts which will assume from Japanese courts all criminal jurisdiction over United Nations nationals and organizations in Japan. The courts will have the power to impose sentences as extreme as death, ’ The directive, which authorized the 8th army and 5th fleet to establish the courts, was Gen. Douglas MacArthur's way of rejecting a Japanese government proposal to try its own war criminal suspects. Col. Alva Carpenter, chief of allied headquarters legal section, confirmed that the order prevents the Japanese government from going ahead with plans to hold its own war criminal trials. A government agency already was gathering material and evidence for the planned trials.. Establishes Allied Courts

Headquarters officials said the directive relieves Japanese courts of many “important responsibilities” and establishes allied military courts that will be used as a “lever” to insure Japanese compliance with' allied directives. ! The military courts created by the directive will assume full jurisdiction over: ONE: Any acts prejudicial to the security of the occupation forces. TWO: Killing or assaulting any member of the occupation forces. THREE: Unauthorized possession, taking, receipt of or disposal of property of any member of the occupation forces. POUR: .Interfering or hindering the arrest of any person sought, or assisting or furthering the escape of persons detained by the allies: FIVE: Refusing to furnish in-

the allies. ;

~ 7 SIX: Acts “on ghaly of, or in support of dissolved, illegal organizations. SEVEN: Conspiracies to commit or aid and abet the foregoing. The directive also was expected to deal a serious blow to black market deals in allied military and post exchange supplies by bringing Japanese violators under the jurisdiction of military courts, rather than Japanese courts, if desired. Jap Law Violations The Japanese courts will continue to exercise jurisdiction over acts prejudicial to objectives of the occupation, insofar as such acts constitute violations of Japanese laws, headquarters said. However, the military courts also may assume jurisdiction in the case

KIDNAP’ STORY

17-Year-0ld Girl Claims

Police today investigated . the! story of a 17-year-old girl who claims she was “kidnaped after leaving a South side tavern last night. | The girl, who was taken to City| hospital early this morning after she staggered into a restaurant and fainted, told police she was forced into a car with six men after she refused an offer of a ride. She said she left a tavern at Fountain Square after drinking several. beers and that she was offered a ride as she walked near Shelby and Prospect sts. When she refused. she said, two men forced her into a car. She told police she did not remember anything until she was dumped out of the car at Shelby and Morris sts. early today. She walked to a restaurant, where she collapsed, according to friends who | took her to the hospital. Was Not Assaulted

Hospital authorities said the girl was not criminally assaulted. Two strong-armings and one alleged break-in were also reported, Elmer Schweitzer, 27, Crawfordsville, said a man who approached him in the bus depot forced him to hand over his billfold, containing $40. James Hein, 23, of 4066 College ave., reported his overcoat and $5 stolen by. someone who struck him over the head as he walted in an

Henceforth, the Japanese government has no authority to arrest. united nations nationals, except in areas where allied troops are not actually on duty, and then only when authorized by. allied headquarters. .

| EGYPTIAN OFFICIAL KILLED | CAIRO, Feb. 19 (U. P).—Ahmed |Hassanein Pasha, chief of the Egyptian royal cabinet, was killed . /today when a British army truck {crashed into the rear of his car lof the Kasr El Nil bridge.

At about the time this store was born—(1853}-Mr. Macaulay in his "History of England" _ wrote:

“The troops were now to be disbanded. Fifty thousand men, accustomed to the profession of arms, were at once thrown on the world, and experience seemed to warrant the belief that this change would produce much misery and crime, that the discharged veterans

would be seen begging in every street, or that .

they would be driven by hunger to pillage. But no such result, followed, .In a few months there remained not a trace indicating that the most formidable army in the world had just been absorbed into the mass of the community. The Royalists themselves confessed that, in every department of honest industry, discarded warriors prospered be-

. yond other men, that none was charged with any theft or robbery, that noné was heard to ask any alms, and that, if a baker, a mason, or a waggoner attracted notice by his dili gence and sobriety, he was in all probability one of Oliver's old soldiers.”

Some Present Day Macaulay could use that same thought—couched in the same words

(except he might change "waggon-er"

to—something like Molecular Scientists—or Chemical Engineer—or Electronic “Technician. :
