Rapid grip and Batten Honor six employees six members of rapid grip and Canada s stabilization fund contribution is to a nth by Chester Bloom Washington d.c., april 22. Would con tribute about in Gold and currency to the inter National monetary stabilization fund of about eight and a half billion dollars unanimously agreed on Here by the experts of the United nations. The big contributors would be augmented. He declined to the United states Between two and a half and two and three Quarter billion dollars. The United kingdom about one and a Quarter billion dollars. Soviet Russia about a billion dollars and China about eight Hundred millions. That totals about six billions. The balance would be contributed by some 27 other of the United nations. The unanimity of expert agree ment said. . Treasurer Henry Morganthau late yesterday after noon is such that lie believes a Gen eral conference of United nations representatives should be called in the near future to pass on the experts findings. Then the proposal would have to go to All the Separ ate governments and parliaments Cor final approval. The germans made the most use of torpedo cutters and submarines he said. He refused to estimate the size of the nazi submarine Fleet m the Black sea. But said that it was still Active. Some of the a boats he said were transported Overland and assembled in Nikolaev heavy As battleship the soviet Black sea Fleet a i patently includes units As heavy As battleships. Beluso said that it was composed of vessels of All types although with the reticence these and some other interesting facts were brought out at the last minute press conference by or. Morganthau and the Treasury Finan Cial adviser Harry White them were among world Bank View or Morganthau told reporters that he Felt the congressional re action was Good enough also to justify the calling of the general Fin Ancial conference. He thought that plans for a world Bank should go ahead simultaneously. He hoped Progress on the International Mone tary stabilization fund plan would go ahead fast enough so that the world Bank could be part of the same plan. The world Bank plan was now being studied by experts of the United nations in the same Way As the International monetary stabilization fund had been and would be dealt with publicly in the same manner. In answering questions in More detail. Or. White said that France would probably be the fifth National contributor. Replying As to what formula had been used for establishing quotas of contribution in said that the technical representatives All had different ideas of the proper criteria for distribution of participation in the International fund. Generally speaking certain fac tors emerged As most important the proportion that the nation bore to that is familiar in any Navy declined to expand his reply. One of the interesting features of the Admiral s conversation was his disclosure that a number of vessels in the Black sea surrendered to the russians. This occurred after the blockade of the Bug Estuary by batteries on Cape kind Rinskaya. More than 10 had sailed into soviet he said. In some cases this was done with the con sent of commanders in others they were handed Over by mutinous Crews who declined to take further part in the War. 150 Small Homes needed by May 1 about 150 Small Homes to accommodate families who will be forced to move May 1, Are required immediately mrs.

Premises having two but it is bedrooms , Lulu in Curili its Gold production its Gold hold Ings its National income and so on after taking All these and other numerous internal factors into consideration the experts finally arrived at the rough approximation stated in the earlier paragraphs of this account.

The general View of financial experts Here is that the United fat ate won the chief Points in the arguments among the experts. There is no secret that the United King Corn experts wanted the fund established on the basis of an International Clearing House with credit contributions based on the relation of individual National Trade to world Trade.

Olshansky. Landed in the heart of Nikolaev while the germans still held the cily and kept Faith there with the oath they had taken. For 48 hours this valiant handful men held the buildings they had initially captured. From nazi forces endeavouring to Stem the Onward Progress of the red army these marines diverted a full regiment of infantry. Beluso said a company of tanks and several batteries of Neld guns and flame throwers. It was reckoned the Admiral said that line 700 of he attackers died be fore the Liny fortress finally was silenced. By that time he main Bodiot forces had arrived. The City was liberated but everyone o the Gallant 55. Including the com Mander was . Mass civic funeral the citizens of Nikolaev under stood the role that these marines pm Ved. Beluso said. They organized a mass civic funeral for them and for Days kept wreaths of Flowers piled on their common grave. The Landing really was one series of successive assaults which began when the naval battalion under maj. Kitanov. Of which Olshansky s company was part fought its Way ashore near Stanislav on the Eastern Bank of the Bug Estuary and then battled 30 Miles northward through enemy held territory to the Vicinity of Nikolaev. The fall of Nikolaev was the signal of Odessa s doom Beluso said. The germans realized then that they would be unable to Tolci the City much longer and began efforts to evacuate troops and equipment. For this he said they relied chiefly on speedy Landing Craft capable o f accommodating 150 to 200 men shuttled Back and Forth be tween Odessa and romanian ports outside the Harbor to Block this the Black sea Fleet the red army alike depended principally on aircraft. These at tacks we were told Byi maj gun. Alexander s. Rogov. Assistant chief of staff of the third ukrainian front occurred outside Odessa har Bor. Inside he said. Nazi anti aircraft was so powerful that continuous attacks were not feasible. There were no naval engagements at the said although he indicated that some occurred around Crimea. The loss of Odessa was the last blow to the Crimea garrisons for Odessa had been the main port through which they were supplied the Admiral explained. He referred to the previously reported experience of a Convoy of 25 ships including three transports of which 11 were sunk in repeated attacks by surface Craft submarines and air planes. I from the naval standpoint the germans seem litle of tour off in the Black sea than they Are on the soviet Mainland itself. They have never had heavier units than Large destroyers action there Beluso said and at least some of these have been sunk in naval engage innels with units of the red Fleet. The nucleus of the nazi Force he explained. Was six destroyers in romanian bases at the outbreak of the War.
