FRIDAY; JANUARY 9, 1953
Schuman
By New
PARIS, Jan. 8 (iP) —France dropped her veteran foreign
minister Robert Schuman, from the Cabinet today and headed
for a slowdown on: European rearmament.
The new Cabinet, with ex-Premier Georges Bidault as
foreign minister, was announced by Premier Rene IVlayer
little more than 24 hours after
Mayer had won approval from
the French Assembly .389-204.
Himself a tough finance man,
Mayer succeeds Antoine Pinay,
who resigned Dec- 23 when his
parliamentary majority melted
away as he tried to press through
a narrowly balanced budget. .
Sharp Conflicts
Dropping of Schuman from the
Cabinet had an immediate reper
cussion in Germany. There he
was considered the Frenchman
most likely to succed in develop
ing the long sought collaboration
between France and Germany, in
a new postwar peace policy.
Despite sharp conflicts \over the
troublesome question of the Saar
coal and iron pocket, Schuman
and Konrad Adenauer, West Ger
man chancellor, had lent massive
support to one another in their
efforts.to end the age-old French
and German rivalry.
Deep concern was expresed in
government circles in Bonn. But
Adenauer's opponents sang a hal
lelujah.
"The dropping of Schuman
means a substantial, weakening
of Chancellor Adenauer's posi
tion in his fight to gain ratifica
tion of the German-Allied treat
ies," said Fritz Heine, press chief
of the Social Democratic party,
Adenauer's bitterest opposition.
Will Present Treaty
Heine's comment touched on
the tenderest spot of French-
German relations. It was not the
grounds on which, the Pinay gov
ernment'went out. That was over
the budget. But the European
Army Treaty, under which West
Germany would raise a half mil
lion .troops for Western defense,
took on monumental proportions
during negotiations of the past
two weeks while various French
leaders sought to form a new
government.
Finally, Mayer agreed that he
would present the treaty for rat
ification, but Would not make it
a do-or-die demand upon those
deputies supporting him. By
that means he won the support
of deputies piloted :from behind
the scenes by Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.

C 46 Search
In Second Day
MONTPELIER, Ida., Jan. 8 VP)
—Stormy weather seriously ham
pered one of the. . biggest aerial
searches in Rocky Mountain his
tory as more than 50 planes today
failed to turn up any new clues
on a C 46 transport missing with
40 persons aboard.
Heavy clouds closed in and
snow and rain swirled around
jagged mountain peaks, forcing
part of the aerial armada out of
the skies.
Fresh snow also covers the
wild rugged Bear Lake country
where a nonscheduled, twin-en
gine plane vanished early Wed

Ft. Jackson, S.C. Aboard the
plane were 37 - enlisted soldiers,
en route to their hornet in the

Marshall Tito May Form
Own Catholic Church
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Jan.
8 (!P) Premier Marshal Tito
called in Yugoslavia's leading Ro
man Catholic churchmen today
for a conference, possibly on es
tablishing a new Catholic church
independent of the Vatican.
The Belgrade radio announced
after the two-hour meeting at the
Premier's house , that it had been
decided to set up a "special com
mission to prepare detailed ma
terial on the basis of which re
lations between the state and
church could be settled."
These relations, it said, will be
within the framework of the Yu
goslav constitution, which decrees
separation of church and state but
declares for religious freedom.
The seven prelates kvho attend
ed the meeting refused to com
ment.
It is considered likely the meet
ing was the result of last month's
break in diplomatic relations be
tween the Vatican and Yugo
slavia. Yugoslavia was the last

ganized in this Eastern Pennsyl
vania, city was on today for the
sex slayer •of 14-year-old Dorothy
Sehlappig.
City _police, . Berks County de
tectives and state investigators
joined the search for the person
who strangled the quiet junior
high school girl Tuesday night
and stuffed her body in a metal
ash barrel in " an alleyway near
her home.
The blood-spattered body, nude
except for a brassiere and the tat
tered remains , of . a blouse, was
found early' yesterday by her fos
ter-father, Louis Sauber, after h
notified police that the child wa.;
missing.
Sauber had reared D or o th y
since she was an infant, getting
her from the ChildrenV Aid So
ciety.
Police start e d a systematic
house-to-house check in the
neighborhood of the crime hoping
that -some resident might furnish
a clue.
Police Chief Robert -H. Elliott
said it is possible that someone,
afraid to talk, may have seen or
heard something that would aid
in tracking down the killer.
Dr. Paul D. Good, Berks Coun
ty coroner, said finger and pres
sure marks around the girl's neck
indicated she was killed by a
"person of great strength." He
added that there were indications
that a piece of clothing might
have been used to strangle her.
Dorothy had been raped •a 1 s o,
Good said. •
Sauber said he and his wife did
not formally adopt Dorothy be

hospital care which the couple

Foreign. Minister Edvard Kar
delj has declared Pope Pius' in
clusion of Archbishop Alojzijc
Stepinac, primate of . Yugoslavia,
among the 24 new . . cardinals
designate of the church was one
of the main reasons for the break.
Yugoslavia took the position that
making Stepinac a prince of the
church was meant to encourage
resistance to Yugoslavia's govern
ment.
Stepinac was released condition
ally from prison a little over a
year ago after serving five years
of a 16-year sentence 'on charges
of collaborating with the Axis and
its puppets during the war. , He is
not now allowed to exercise the
functions of his archbishopic and
is confined to his native parish at

absence.
Lovett Wants More
Security Legislation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (W)—The outgoing secretary of defense,
Robert A. Lovett, called today .for tighter security legislation "to
protect this country against traitors, spies and blabber-moti - ths.'-'
Lovett said the problem extends beyond the defense establish
inent to other government agencies. In,a two-hour closed-door ses=
sion with the, House Armed Ser
vices Committee, the retiring sec 7
retary was described as having
made these other major points:.
In Stalemate
1. The world situation is. as
tense as it was three years ago
and "this is no time to relax.:
2. "We are in a stalemate • in
Korea," and Lovett offered no
solution, although he suggested.
more economic pressure on Com
munist "China.
3. "We have got to maintain the
strength of our forces as they are
now until there is some definite
change in the situation." There
are now about 3,600,000 persons
in the armed forces.
4. The only • "satisfactory meth
od" of reducing the fixed annual
costs of defense is universal mil
itary training.
Shows Concern
Some of Lovett's views • were
quoted to newsmen by Chairman
Short (R-Mo.) He said Lovett, in
giving the House group a com
prehensive review of the world
military situation, described it as
"practically the same" as it has
been since the European buildup
began a few years ago.
'Lovett was pictured as show
ing some concern at an apparent
letdown in rearmament efforts of
some European allies, but in talk
ing about applying more pressure .
on' Red China, Short added: '
"We have to be careful not to
lose the friendship of our allies."
Two matters which have been
on congressional minds • in con
nection with solving the. Korean
stalemate were not even brought
up at the• session with Lovett,
Short said. They were the 'use of
atomic weapons and the use of
Chinese Nationalist forces now
on Formosa.
The secretary expressed doubt,
Short added, .that "it •would be
worthwhile to use all-out force
trying to drive the Communists
out of Korea.

strides in guided missles and rock
ets which may explain, in part,

ments centering im New Mexico.
The newspaper said that al
though details are still shrouded
in official secrecy, the wraps may
be removed from some aspects - of
the program at a special demon
