An 8-year-old hoy. who saitl "someone" told him to start a story that had held him for several days in a cellar, was blamed by investigators today for touching off Poland's bloodiest post-war pogrom. At least 38 were killed and 50 injured in the city of Kielce.

A special commission of impiO'V said the hoy, Helnrik Hlaseyck, told the story to militiamen, adding that, his lite had been threatened and that he had seen at least a doyen bodies of Christian children In his prison. The angered ltiilrtllimcn weie said to have gone to Jewish homes to investigate. Violence then de veloped and crowds began forming in the streets. Nine women and one security policeman were among those slain in rioting which included mob raids on Jewish shops, homes and apartments. Most of the casualties were Jews.

THE RIOTING lasted for several bonis, investigators said, with the Jews firing from windows of the their homes in self defense and hurling hand grenades, before the militia reserve arrived in the city to restore order. With 62 perpetrators already in custody, government officials said additional arrests Here being made. They will face military tribunals. Meanwhile a curfew continued in force in Kielce. which some officials have described as a hotbed of Fascism, and Warsaw newapa-pvis charged "fascist" elements with deliberate provocation in setting off the pogrom.

Of the city's 60,000 population, about 800 are ish.

1 return-ed from Europe just in time lo get in on the death of OP A and to find everybody talking 8bout high Waterhouse prices and inflation. Well, maybe we've got inflation here but it isn't anything like what the Europeans call inflation. Imagine getting on a street car and using million pengo bill to pay your single fare.

I had gone in to purchase some army socks but found I didn't have enough Vienna currency to pay for them.

doeitn't matter. Vienna money means nothing these days," she replied. Inflation in its ugliest forms was flourishing In every city I visited. Paper money is a plentiful as the black market rackets which rage in every city on the continent. Money changes in value overnight.

EACH MORNING when the hotel clerks in Rome would change my American dollars I would receive a different amount of lira for my money. I saw shops filled with beautiful things and clerks standing idle from morning until night because no one had the money to purchase them. I saw people wistfully window-shopping hut few had packages In their hands. Fine fabrics, and the cut glass for which Czechoslovakia is famed, filled shop windows in Bratislava. But there were no purchasers.

MY HOSTS at a dinner in Rome traveled to a blatjk market on the edge of the city to purchase cheese for our dinner. Its price was staggering. In Paris, French people cried on my shoulder about the Insld-loiiMiea of the black market, but al the same time admitted they could not live without II.
