Altogether, the evidence given by many who escaped from the slave gangs seems to confirm earlier reports that the Soviet Union has been guilty of introducing a new slavery system into the world. While it is difficult to prove, the probability is that many prisoners of war, who have been unheard of since the close of hostilities, were impressed into labor gangs. Undoubtedly, many of them died under the hardships of the slave labor system.

DOLLARS West- 5 AT The Yugoslav Government has approached the United States, and British and French Governments, on the subject of a loan, or grants, with which it would complete its five-year industralization plan. There is an interesting story behind this re- quest. A few years ago, Yugoslavs were accepting aid from the Soviet Union toward the completion of their five-year industralization plan. However, when the break between Marshal Tito and the Soviet Union occurred, all Soviet aid was cut off. The indus- trialization program in Yukoslavia was only partialiy completed and many huge buildings, destined to be- come industrial establishments, lay only half-finished at the time of the break. American newspaper representatives recently in Belgrade, had occasion to observe these half-com- pleted buildings — about which the Yugoslavs are so sensitive. In fact, many of the people in Yugoslavia believe the real reason work was halted on these projects was the discovery by Yugoslav builders that the earth was not suitable to support a structure of such weight.

How- ever, the Alien Property Custodian finally ruled they were funds which the Japanese had set aside for ad- vertising, and therefore belonged to Uncle Sam as Alien Property, not to the silk guild and to Senator Wiley's brother-in-law. PAY TO OLD ROOMMATE Regarding other matters—though not this—I think Senator Wiley is right in investigating the Alien Property Custodian. Meanwhile, T| I asked if she had got it from proceeded with the investigation |Horowitz, and Baynton admitted that she borrowed it from Mrs. of Mrs. Baynton’s mink coat. The mink eoat, I had heard, was given to Mrs. Baynten by Harold Horowitz, who draws $27,600 as pre- sident of E. Leitz Co,, the former German firm which makes Leica cameras. Since this alien company is now operated by the Alien Pro- perty Custodian, Horowitz keeps his job partly at the pleasure of Mr. Baynton. Originally Horowitz got his job through Herbert Bergson, a former assistant attorney general, who turned out to have been Horowitz's roommate ' at Harvard law school. Running the Leitz Co., is only a half-time job, so $27,600 is pretty good pay, though in fairness to Horowitz it should be noted that when he took the firm over, it was on the verge of bankruptey. Now it’s making r dough. Horowitz also gets an expense account of about $15,000 a year, and Baynton's predecessor, David Baz- elon, now a federal judge, quest- joned some of his expense items, including a reported $2,000 for a trip to California. In fact, lon, on one occasion, picked up the phone and instructed Horowitz not to-spend a cent more without his okay. Incidentally, the profits from Alien Property go to U. S. veterans who were imprisoned by the Japs and Germans, so every dollar paid out on expenses means that much less for them Baynton told me, however, that he examined Horowitz's expenses and found them to be okay. Another interesting angle is that Horowitz, having got his job as president of the Lgica Camera concern through his old roommate, Herbert Bergson, is now paying aforesaid Bergson $1,000 a month as a legal retainer, Bergson now being in private law practice.

In fact, she used up most of her money before I finished studying law. However, we still had some bonds saved up, and we could have bought her a mink coat, in fact we even figured . on buying one wholesale. But then last Ohristmas she borrowed -one.” Horowitz. i “When did she send it back?” “After two months.” PEARSON’S MEAN STREAK “Wasn’t that about the time Merle Young was getting all that public- ity on his wife’s $8,000 mink?” I asked, yleding to what my wife calls “that mean streak” in me. Mr. Baynton denied this. He said his wife had sent it back before the furor over the Merle Young mink. He had been embarrassed, he said, because his wife told various people she had iound the coat under the Christmas tree. “It was a beautiful coat,” he sighed, “and you know how women are—especially when their husbands have an important new job for the first time.”. I said T did know. I didn’t tell him, but T remembered one occasion when my wife got quite, quite ir-'| ritated—so much so that I finally went out and bought her a fur | coat. After that she resumed speak- ing to me again. I pointed out to Mr. Baynton that he had told my assistant and the press chief of the Justice Depart- ment conflicting stories about his wife’'s “borrowed” mink, and asked him which was right. He replied that my assistant had not pressed him hard enough, and insisted that he was telling me the truth. Personally 1 wasn't quite sure how to take Mr. Baynton's story, so I've decided to let the reader judge for himself. But one thing I'm sure of is that while mink coats are important, some of the other scandals going on in this town—from the graft in the China lobby, to the B. and O. Railroad RFC loan, to Guy Gabriel- son's Carthage Hydrocol loan—are a lot worse than Mrs. Baynton’s mink coat.
