Berliners Seek
Western Butter
. BERLIN, Nov. 23 (JP) —Thousands of aged East Berliners risked
Communist anger today to cross into West Berlin and pick up
American-donated butter.
Some reported later that thei:
German police in the Soviet secto
It was the fifst day of the but
ter give-away to East Berliners
over six years of age and 17,500
pounds were handed out.
. Officials said the initial distri
bution went off smoothly in con
trast to the rioting last summer
when the Cohmtiinists tried' to
break up the handing out of
American food parcels.
At least 20 East Berliners came
back for butter a second time.
They repotted that East German
police checked their parcels, con
fiscated the butter, and took down
their names.
236,000 lbs.
A total of 236,000 pounds of
butter Will be given East Ber
liners in the next two weeks in
the second phase of a program to
provide a million' pounds to aged
Germans in all sectors. Since Oct.
24, about 434,000 pounds have
been given residents of the allied
sectors.
Distribution is being made by
the recently organized Mayor
Ernst Reuter Foundation and the
International Rescue Committee,
a welfare organization with head
quarters in New York City. Reu
ter, a staunch foe of- communism,
helped organize the huge butter
give-away but died Sept. 29 be
fore he could see it carried out.
Line Forms
An hour before the 9 a.m. start
ing time, hundreds of West Ber
liners- already had formed a line
which grew steadily throughout
the day. By mid-morning the line
numbered 6000 persons.
The distribution point, at the
Ernst Reuter House, a municipal
building, is fair enough inside the
British sector to discourage dis
ruptive tactics by the Commu
nists.
The butter is being distributed
by an alphabetical system of
names. The first .day’s allotment
went to East Berliners' 1 whose
names start with “A” and .with
“Sch.” The subsequent distribu
tion will -be made for the next
two weeks in groups of several
letters each day.

Peace Hope
Via Military
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (JP)—
House Speaker Joseph W. Mar
tin Jr. (R-Mass.) returned today
from a two-month trip to Europe
with the prediction that “we are
going to have peace.”
“The outlook for peace is much
better,” Martin told a news con
ference shortly after reporting on
his trip to President Eisenhower.
One reason for his belief that
there will be no war, he said, as
that the free nations of Europe
are building strong military forces
and have recovered economically
with American aid.
“No nation is going to attack
strength,” he commented.
Martin said he believes all or
most economic aid from the Uni
ted States can be cut • off after
this year, with some isolated ex
ceptions, although continued mili
tary assistance will be needed.
But he said the cost of military
aid probably can be reduced.
Martin visited Eastern and
Western Germany, Austria, Italy,
Spain, and France. He made the
trip alone.
He said he was “very much
pleased to see the recovery ap
parent in'-most of Europe” since
his last trip, two years ago. He
added he believes the unified Eu
ropean Army, probably will come
into being next year “and if it
does it will probably mean peace
in the world.”
Martin said he was especially
encouraged by the rapid economic
recovery of Western Germany and
said “it is going to take a little
time but Germany will be united
eventually.”
On domestic issues, the House
leader skid he doubts if Congress
would approve a general manufac
turers excise tax although there
should be some readjustments,
both upward and downward, of
existing excise levies.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA '
WEST POINT, N.Y., Nov. 23 (JP)
—The Army admitted .today it
really had got the Navy’s goat.
And, with tongue in cheek, it an
nounced it was sending it back to
Annapolis.
The pure blue Angora mascot,
Billy the 12th, was taken late
Saturday night. -
It showed up last night in the
military academy mess hall.
The annual Army-Navy foot
ball game is scheduled for Satur
day at Philadelphia and of the
apparent pre-game prank, West
Point said shyly:
“It is admitted that the Navy
goat has paid an unofficial visit
to West Point. While individual
opinion naturally is to applaud
the exploit resulting in the ap
pearance of Billy the 12th at West
Point, the official view must be to
decline comment and publicity in
the interests of continuing good
inter-service and inter-academy
relationships.”
A West Point- spokesman said
Maj. Gen. F. A. Irving, superin
tendent of the academy, ordered
the Navy mascot to be returned
to Annapolis.
Billy, accordingly, was put into
an Army truck and sent on his
way. Nothing was said about any
disciplinary action concerning his
kidnapers.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23 (A>)—The
inquiry -into the mystery of the
missing $300,000 Greenlease ran
som money started anew today
with St.. Louis police seeking a
“death row” interview with the
doomed kidnap-killers.
Police Chief Jeremiah O’Con
nell said he will ask federal per
mission to question Carl Austin
Hall and Bonnie Brown Heady
concerning statements in Hall’s
confession that conflict with testi
mony heard by a police panel
investigating Hall’s arrest.
Reported discrepancies in police
handling of the arrest and recov
ery of half of the $600,000 ransom
prompted the St. Louis police
board to order the inquiry. The
investigation began Oct. 18, but
was recessed pending completion
of last week’s trial of Hall and
Mrs. Heady.

Red
U.S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (JP) —Harry J. Anslinger, chief of the
Federal Narcotics Bureau, said today illicit dope from Red China
is flooding the United States, with the Chinese Communist govern
ment apparently taking a cynical attitude toward the situation.
Anslinger gave this testimony at a Senate subcommittee hear
ing, and later he told a reporter:
“Japan is getting the first wave
of this traffic, all channeled
through Hong Kong, and we’re
getting a very large amount on
the West Coast ”
Hong Kong is a British crown
colony just off the China main
land.
Anslinger also declared Red
China is forcing farmers to grow
opium in some areas by imposing
such heavy taxes that the only
thing the farmers can do is to
raise opium to pay the taxes.
“It is a deliberate policy on the
part of the local government in
Jehol Province to compel the
farmers to grow opium,” he said.
In his testimony Anslinger in
dicated that the flow of dope
from Communist China has cre
ated a jack-in-the-box traffic in
this country that is difficult to
crush.
As fast as one ring is broken,
he said, another springs up to
carry on the conspiracy of “selling
poison for profit.”
Anslinger told a Senate sub
committee the government has
“very definite proof” to.substan
tiate- his accusation that huge
quantities of heroin, made in Red
China, are being shipped to dope
peddlers in this country.
Far from making any concerted
effort to interfere, he said, Red
China’s government apparently
takes a. cynical attitude toward
the traffic.
“They probably hope for the
worst,” he commented.
Anslinger made the statement
as the subcommittee continued
its inquiry into juvenile delin
quency in the United States.
The narcotics chief said there
has been a marked drop in addic
tion of youths under 21 years of
age—from' a total of 4405 in 1951
to 3616 last year—but the problem
remains serious “as long as there
are any youthful addicts.”

Nixon Louds
President
MANILA, Tuesday, Nov. 24 (IP)
—Vice President Nixon yesterday
praised Ramon Magsaysay, Presi
dent-elect of the Philippines, be
fore an audience of 50,000 youths
as a man who will build up free
dom in the young island republic
“in this time of world crisis.”
Magsaysay was standing nearby
as Nixon acclaimed him in the
only public address of the vice
president’s four - day Philippines
tour.
Nixon told his young audience
that the most significant battle
going on today was not military
or economic but “for the minds,
hearts and souls of men.”
He said the winner of that bat
tle among the young people of
Asia would decide “the future of
the world.”
Earlier Nixon made a trip
through the country around Man
ila and shook hands with Filipinos
in the barrios. A Philippine offi
cial introduced him to one group
by saying “within 12 years the
president of the United States
will be Richard Nixon.” Nixon
made no comment on the refer
ence.
