Member of Acheson’s Policy Planning Board Guilty of Security Violation WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (AP) — The state department said today Poy D. Kohler, 44, former head of the "Voice of America," violated security regulations in carrying secret documents to a weekend department press officer, said Kohler violated security regulations by failing to safeguard the secret documents "in a manner commensurate with their classification." However, McDermott insisted Member of Acheson’s Policy Planning Board Guilty of Security Violation WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (F) — The state department said today Foy D. Kohler, 44, former head of the "Voice of America," violated security regulations in carrying secret documents to a weekend drinking party in nearby Virginia. The department declined to say what disciplinary action might be taken. Officials said the documents dealt with the political situation in French Morocco, scope of bloody riots in the last few days, and affairs in Tunisia. Both are trouble spots in the turbulent Middle East. The state department said Kohler, a member of Secretary of State Acheson's policy planning board, had two secret papers in his possession when he was arrested by police in Arlington, Va., at 2 a.m. Saturday on charges of introdication. With his wife, Phyllis, 40, he had been attending a party in Arlington. Police quoted Mrs. Kohler as saying she picked up her husband at the state department and drove him to the party across the Potomac river from Washincon. Kohler paid a fine of $8.25 for public intoxication. Mrs. Kohler, appearing in Arlington county court today won a 10-day postponement of her trial on charges of drunken driving. She was released on $500 bond. Michael McDermott, state de- department press officer, said Kohler violated security regulations by failing to safeguard the secret documents "in a manner commensurate with their classification." However, McDermott insisted that Kohler kept a tight grip on the documents throughout the episode so that no one else was permitted to see them. McDermott told newsmen that Kohler, a career diplomat of 21 years' experience, had "an excellent performance and security record." McDermott explained that regulations forbid officials to remove secret documents from the department, "except where official conferences or consultations are involved." In such cases, written approval must be obtained from top officials and filed with the "secret control officer." However, officials said privately it is not unusual for classified documents to be taken home for study and in such event the person taking them acts at his own risk.

Sing Sing Prison Pictured as New York Waterfront Job NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (UP)—Grim Sing Sing prison was pictured today as a sort of hiring hall where hardened convicts were recruited for soft jobs on the New York waterfront. The startling testimony before the state crime commission came from a slender ex-convict, Anthony Tischon, who spent 11 of his 33 years behind bars for robbery. Not only did he describe waterfront jobs as available to ex-convicts, but Tischon added: "I think they were preferred. The worse record you had, the easier it was to get a job." Tischon's blunt, explosive testimony made him a possible target of waterfront vengeance and the crime commission moved to give him what protection it can. He no longer works on the waterfront. Red Skelton III SANTA MONICA, Dec. 8 (UP)—Comedian Red Skelton went to the hospital today for possible physical repairs. Dr. Stanley Immerman ordered Skelton to St. Johns hospital and said the comic was suffering from a diaphragmatic hernia upside down stomach, first incurred a year ago.

The ship, Calmar Steamship Corporation's Yorkmar, nosed aground early this afternoon approximately one and one-half mile north of the north jetty and one-half mile offshore. The harbor mouth is 24 miles due west of here. The Coast Guard said a message received from the master of the Yorkmar, whose name was not Escaped Prisoner Still at Large Donald B.

Everyone Agrees: She’s A Queen; But Hardly Any Agree on Elizabeth’s Title By MICHAEL NEWMARCH LONDON UP—Member nations of the British Commonwealth, comprising scores of different races and systems of government, are united in wanting at least one thing in common—a title for their queen. It sounds an easy thing to settle. Actually it is one of the trickiest constitutional problems now facing this group of nations. During the next weeks, Prime Minister Winston Churchill will be taking his fellow Commonwealth chiefs on a side in an effort to work out an agreement while they are here for the Commonwealth Economic Conference. At the moment, if you ask a lawyer to define the title of Queen Elizabeth II, you might get several answers. When her father died last February, she was proclaimed in London as "Elizabeth the Second," by the grace of God queen of this realm and of all her other realms and territories, head of the Commonwealth, defender of the faith." At Ottawa, on the other hand, Canada proclaimed her as "Eliza abeth the Second," by the grace of God, of Great Britian, Northern Ireland, and the British Dominions beyond the seas, queen, defender of the faith, supreme leige lady in and over Canada." Several other versions were used for the royal proclamation in other Commonwealth cities. They can't all be correct, constitutional experts argued. Since there is only one queen, she can only have one set of titles. What is more, the 1927 Statute of Westminster—which defines the status of self-governing dominions—says clearly the sovereign's titles can be changed only if the alteration is agreed to by all the governments of the Commonwealth, and the necessary legislation has been passed through their respective parliaments. So there were raised eyebrows when the queen was proclaimed in so many different styles last February. "What is the official style of her majesty?" Several questioners asked Churchill in the House of Commons. Churchill warily declined to answer—but promised to get in touch with other Commonwealth leaders when they came down. Since the styles of our were settled, the British wealth has undergone changes, notably the Republican status to India. There are many different points inside the Commission about what the charter ought to be. The word "dominion" self-governing territory pretty broad-minded tories which were used called colonies half of a century ago. But nearly so popular today. Canada, for instance, not to be called a kingdom, but an herself, according to ports here. South Africa Nationalist party has no public leanings. The Commonwealth prinisters won't be too worry making changes when the Churchill. The hardest job will be choosing that will be passed through dominions' parliaments too much argument. Canada and perhaps some nations may get a speechn—and the words "Union and Northern Ireland likely to be put back." The expression "head of the wealth," is bound to be for the sakes of India, on half the title was invented. Pictured as Hiring Hall for Soft Waterfront Jobs, Crime Probers Learn Tischon said he was recruited in prison by a fellow convict, a shop steward of the AFL International Association ILA. He went to work as soon as he was released, Tischon added, but he added, but he spent most of his working time "playing cards and looking to steel something." The witness gave the commission a longshoreman's peek into the thievery racket which bedevils the great port of New York to the tune of thousands of dollars every year. The crime commission moved through a fourth day of sensational hearings into the rackets-hidden waterfront, a vast jungle of criminals, shakedown artists and muscle men apparently terrified honest dockers. The commission is exposing a 350 million dollar a year loss—including thievery — that plagues the seven billion dollar shipping industry of the world's greatest port. The crime commission also heard the head of a big steamship firm blame tire slashing and other strong arm devices for driving private loaders off the pier. Testimony also was introduced on a 1949 Jersey City pier strike in which it was said dock workers shook down importers or brokers whose perishable cargoes were stranded on the pier. The striking ILA's demands, one witness claimed, were backed by Mayor James V. Kenny of Jersey City and his corporation counsel.

Aground in Heavy Harbor, Washington Immediately known, said the ship was in "no special danger." It was not determined how many men were aboard the Yorkmar, but the Coast Guard said a liberty ship normally carries a crew of 33 or 34. The vessel was en route from San Francisco, in ballast, to Gravs Harbor. The Coast Guard said heavy seas would forestall any rescue attempts tonight, although strong south winds which had buffeted the coastline all day were moderating. The commercial salvage tug Salvage Chief of Astoria, described by the Coast Guard as one of the larger salvage boats on the West Coast, was en route to the scene. A Coast Guard motor lifeboat from Westport, south of the harbor mouth, tried to come alongside the Yorkmar shortly after the distress signal was received, but was driven back by towering seas. The seas also prevented use of the Yorkmar's own lifeboats. The Coast Guard cutter Balsam of Astoria, Ore., was en route to the Yorkmar and the cutter McLane of Hoquiam, Wash., was standing by inside the harbor mouth, unable to get through heavy seas breaking over the bar. A Coast Guard helicopter was dispatched from Port Angeles, Wash. State Sales Tax Claim Against County Reduced Reduction of a claim for sales taxes made against the county by the state board of equalization cutting the demand from $6034.37 down to $1130.10, is expected to end a two-year-dispute over the claim, with the county now willing to pay the smaller amount. County Counsel Joel E. Ogle had been instructed by the county supervisors to contest the claim of $6034.37, which covered sales made by the county between 1935 and Dec. 31, 1951. Ogle contended that many of the items sold had been in the category of "casual sales," or were products not subject to sales tax. He demanded a re-audit. When this was made, a hearing occurred.

Think what this means: The bond you invested in at $18.75 can now pay you back $33.67...a $37.50 bond can pay you back $67.34...and so on. Yes, the new Bond Law makes it possible for you to get this extra profit (as much as 80% on your original investment!), with no extra effort on your part. Just hold your bonds. The ten-year extra earning privilege applies to all bonds. What's more, every bond you get now starts earning interest sooner and matures earlier—at 3%.

Ogle had been instructed by the county supervisors to contest the claim of $8034.37, which covered sales made by the county between 1935 and Dec. 31, 1951. Ogle contended that many of the items sold had been in the category of "casual sales," or were products not subject to sales tax. He demanded a re-audit. When this was made, a hearing officer for the state board slashed the claim to $1130.10. The supervisors have indicated their willingness to settle for that sum. leaders when they came to London. Since the styles of George VI were settled, the British Commonwealth has undergone several big changes, notably the granting of Republican status to India. There are many different viewpoints inside the Commonwealth about what the changed title ought to be. The word "dominion" for a self-governing territory looked pretty broad-minded to territories which were used to being called colonies half or quarter of a century ago. But it is not nearly so popular today. Canada, for instance, now wants to be called a kingdom, like Britain herself, according to some reports here. South Africa's ruling Nationalist party has strong republican leanings. The Commonwealth prime ministers won't be too worried about making changes when they talk to Churchill. The hardest job probably will be choosing the phrases that will be passed through the dominions' parliaments without too much argument. Canada and perhaps some other nations may get a special mention—and the words "United Kingdom and Northern Ireland" are likely to be put back. The newest expression, "head of the Commonwealth," is bound to be retained for the sake of India, on whose behalf the title was invented. Strengthen your own future and the future of your country.
