Millions Involved in American-led

Shakedown lllng

. WASHINGTON. (AP)— The U. B. array disclosed Thursday it has un- covered an American-led shake- Iown ring in the Philippines in- volving millions of dollars in claim: for damage from Second World War operations in the islands.

The investigation has shown. the army said. that at least one and possibly many of the claims were fraudulent.

The army‘: provost marshal of- fice reported two former Ameri- can soldiers are being sought by the FBI as leaders of the ring. v/hich‘preyed on Filipinos.

The two. whose names are be- mg withheld until they are located. are believed to be in the United states. an army spokesman said. The er-my said the case involves forged army documents. imper- sonations of U. S. officials and the

possible swindiing of many Filip- lnoe I138‘! CLUE

The army got its first clue to

the confidence ring last March in a letter purported to have been signed by two American officials in the Philippines. The letter ap- peared to be on army stationery and was addressed to a Filipino. informing him that his claim for more than a million dollars for having supplied food and materials in guerillas fighting the Japanese had been approved.

Subsequently. the Americans contacted the and sought money from him on grounds that. they could speed payment of the claim. Instead of paying, the Filipino bt-came sus- picious and sent the letter to wash- ington.

Working with Manila police,ai'm_\ investigators were able to identify one of the imposters as an Ameri- :an. honorably discharged in Man- ila after the war. Later a. second man was identified. Like his com- panion. the second man had taken nis discharge in the Philippines.

In a leiicr to Col. Lambert Mr, Bovey said there has been an el’10l‘1’l'l0llS growth in air transporta- tion in recent years.

"That the existence of this great flow of air traffic could be used by mircntic traffickers and other criminals is obvious." Mr. Bovey said.

“It is also obvious that con- """*’d acllfln by available police forces will he more efficient in crime prevention than sporadic ef- forts by individual forces." he said.

ANOTHER. SOVIET CLAIM

LONDON (Reuters) —— The Ru.- siaris claimed Monday to have dis- covered documents showing their explorers were among the first white men to go into darkest Africa. The Soviet news agency Tass said Ivan Babknv in a lecture at the Russian Geographical Society in Leningrad told of the docllmenta. unkown until now, re- vealing Russians visited African tribes as early as 1637.

If the UN continues to stand against aggression as it has done in Korea. he said,_ it is his con- viction that world peace will be continued.

TO U. I. MONDAY

The 01-year-old Selassie. a small man whose finely-ehlaelled fea- tures and gentle bearing belie his thundering title of "King of Kings and conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah." was an overnight vis- itor in Ottawa in a North Ameri- can tour which he will resume in the United States Monday.

In the meantime. he visits Mont- reai—where he arrived late Pri- dsy—|Quebee City and Windsor. Ont.

DIIOINDANI‘ OF IOLOMON

The emperor, whose ancestral line springs from a meeting some l.000 years ago between King sal- onion and the Queen of Sheba. preserved his benign but deadpui countenance until a reporter had brought up the Solomon ancestry in his later press ‘erence.

He was asked if he could. as the direct descendant of the bibical king known as the wisest of all, nominate the wisest man of today.

Selassie’: thin lips twitched into I. smile and he talked off the cuff to his interpreter, who translated his Amharic this way:

“There are very many wise peo- ple in the world today, and it would be rather difficult to choose one — because other wise people might object."

The emperor. who visited Parlia- ment dressed ln a gray double- breasted suit. sat relaxed in the parliamentary press gallery lounge as he told correspondents of enjoy- ing his visit to Canada. He said he is sure relations between this coun- try and Ethiopia will grow stronger.
