Marya Andreyevna Tolstoy- Mansvetov, a granddaughter of {Count Leo Tolstoy, brought to Washington yesterday a firs¢-hang picture of the lives of Czecho-Slo- vakian people under German dom- ination. “Czechs slaves,” Mme. feel as if they are Tolstoy-Mansvetov said. Since Germany occupied Czecho-Slovakia, she said, the Czechs have no word in the gov- ernment, their food is doled out and they can't speak without fear that some critical comment may be car- ried to the German secret police and result in their confinement in concentration camps. “But,” she added, “they do not lose hope. They joke and carry on the best they can and wait for Hit- ler's downfall. Then they will be free.” Mme. Tolstoy-Mansvetov was born in Moscow and was still a child when her famous grandfather, whosé best-known novels are * and Peace” and “Anna Karenina, died in 1910. posed of John Ihlder, chairman; | Mrs. Albert Atwood and Judge Fay | L.

Oscarfile—'Eye-Bug'vSIands' Revealed as a Stone By the Associated Press. PALO ALTO, Calif., April 13— Oscar the “eye-bug” met an ento-| mologist today and moved from the spotlight into the limelight. He is a piece of lime, an ear stone. Oscar was jerked out of the animal | kingdom into the mineral kingdort after undergoing a physical ex- amination by Prof. Gordon Ferris, Btanford University entomologist, and Prof. C. V. Taylor, head of the | vention conducted today by stu- Btanford biology department. They watched Oscar’s antics when he was removed from his sugar bed and brought to life with a few drops | tion. of vinegar. The vinegar, acting on the lime formation, generated | bubbles which propelled Oscar around like a drop of water bounc- ing over a hot stove. Oscar first broke into the news during a San Jose divorce hearing {n which his custody was a point of | issue. Mrs. Clifford Hayes got the divorce, but Mr. Hayes got Oscar. The scientists agreed that Oscar | was an otolith, a lime-like foreign growth which occurs in the ear of | certain animals. Prof. Ferris said he was not certain about Oscar’s ability to wash foreign particles from the human eye, as related by Arnold Rumwell, Palo Alto city attorney, during the divorce hearing.

Edwin F. Jaeckle of Buffalo, a Dewey campaign leader, to the State committee's leadership, con- fronted the party chiefs with fears that: 1, The New York party split over the national committeeman may cast & “doubt” on the advisability of Mr. Dewey’s candidacy in- other States. : 3. Mr. Simpson, also New York County chairman, may drag his 23 home delegates into a national con- vention battle against Mr. Dewey. 3. A planned selection of a Simp- son successor prior to the June nominating session contrary to prec- the “anti-Dewey taste” left by the committeeman during his appear- ances in other States. Mr, Dewey, ‘en route from New York City to Washington for the annual Gridiron Club dinner be- fore swinging into another Western tour, refused to comment on the State committee’s action. Symptoms that Mr. S8impson will wage a stubborn battle to prevent a good share of New York's 92 con- vention votes from going to Mr. Dewey were seen by learers in his reaction to the State committee’s move. Dclaring that now he is “relieved from any further favorite son sup- port for Mr. Dewey,” Mr. Simpson added: “In my opinion, the Republican and independent voters of New York City have not become satisfied that Mr. Dewey is the best available can- A9 * didate.” Meanwhile, State committee chieftains planned to select a new committeeman early next month, with J. Russel Sprague, Mr. Dewey’s campaign manager, slated as Mr. Simpson's successor. SPECIAL ALL THIS WEEK FRAME OR RIMLESS EXAMINATION COMPLETE GLASSES VINGLE VISION 35 CASE & CLEANER see far and near.

Y., April 13.—A New York Republican schism, develop- ing from a minority bloc's antago- nism to the presidential candidacy of Thomas E. Dewey, pushed a harassed party leadership today into a national “missionary” cam- paign for the State's favorite son. Hostility to the Manhattan pros- ecutor flared yesterday when the Republican State Committee voted, 209 to 69, in favor of selecting a successor to National Committee- man Kenneth F.
