(UP) Some 0,000 Communist youths who de fied West German border police for 24 hours gave in early today and agreed to registration and medical examinations so they could cross the border and go home. Dejected and with banners drooping, the youths marched through border registration stations in columns of 500, gave the-ir names and addresses, submitted to a perfunctory medical examination, then boarded special trains and buses for their West German homes. The youths were stopped at the Soviet zone border at Eichholz, near Lucbeck in the Hamburg area, on their way back from the big Communist rally in Berlin last weekend. Police insisted they submit to health examinations because of reports typhoid and smallpox in the tent cities they occupied during the weekend demonstration. The first group of 400 youths to reach the border Tuesday night refused.

They camped in the open in the Soviet zone. Their numbers swelled rapidly until tiiey reached 9,000 yesterday. Fifteen hundred police were rushed to the border area from Hamburg with orders to prevent the youths from crossing without registration. The police, armed with pistols and rubber truncheons, formed a line six columns deep at the border crossing point and kept scores of police dogs in readiness. Communist leaders threatened to rush the police line in formation but they were told that vio lence would result.

The deadlock finally was broken shortly before last midnight during a five-minute conference In a police truck. Attending the conference was an eight-man Communist delegation headed by Karl Gunderlach, chairman of the Hamburg Communist party. The police group was led by Luebeck Police Commissioner Paul Shudier. Communist leaders were forced to give In by the fear that the youths, ranging in age from 12 to 24, might fall ill from exposure by camping in the open.

U. S. Purchases To Support Price Of Eggs Hits High WASHINGTON, June 1. (UP) Government purchases to support the price of eggs have smashed all previous records for the second straight week, the Agriculture Department said to day. But its the farmer not the consumer who's complaining about the program now.

Agriculture officials said there have Llc.i virtual t.implaints rm in rocent months. But a number of have complained thnt the government has let egg prices drop "too low." The department reported yes terday that farmers averaged only 29.6 cents a dozen for eggs in May. That's about 14 cents less than in May, 1949, and the lowest May price in six years. Government officials are puzzled by the apparent paradox of low egg prices and record purchases to hold them up. They said the best explanation seemed to be that pro duction is up seven per cent but consumers lust haven been eat ing more eggs despite the cheaper price.

Ozark Gold Find Has Little Value BELLE, June 1. (UP) An assayer report showed today there gold in these Ozark hills But it probably will stay there, Thomas L. woodruff, manager of the St. Louis Sampling and Testing Works, notified 40 amateur treasure hunters here that their legend-inspired quest for a double-lode of pay dirt deep in the Ozarks yielded an ore bearing only eight ten-thousandths of an ounce of pure gold per ton. The assayer said the ore should have shown at least a tenth of an ounce of gold per ton to be com mercially valuable.

The report, while confirming the truth of the legend, ended the saga of the Belle gold field. Forty storekeepers and local farmers, spurred all their lives by a hill story about riches underground, contributed $1:5 each last month to see if the tale was true. They hired an artesian well derrick and sunk their shaft 12 inches from the abandoned well where Chris Lehnhoff hit gold instead of water 40 years ago. ago. Dr.

F. C. MacKnlght, geology professor of Evansville college, believes Kendall's discoveries open up a new area for finding what's left of many animals that lived In the Tri-State between glaciers. Mr. Kendall, accompanied by brother-in-law, Carl La-Grange, Princeton, made the discoveries about two weeks ago.

Mr. Kendall will be graduated from Evansville college June 5 as a geologist. Since the discoveries, college classes have toured the area near Ft. Branch and made additional finds. assistance program enacted last year.

He said the program "must continue to be an integral part of the total foreign policy of the United States." The hard hitting report blamed Russia for making arms aid necessary, saying: "The Soviet Union has dedicated itself to the destruction of democracy and everything which it represents, and is waging a grim struggle to make the entire free world slave. No nation can be neutral, for a serious outbreak anywhere on earth inevitably affects everyone "The task will require more than plans, promises and hope, it will demand the best and most that every free nation can contribute. In itself the program is not a panacea which will cure the world's ills, nor will it single-handed end the cold war or assure success in a hot war. Combined, however, with the tireless efforts of all free nations and with our own contributions in other fields the objective becomes attainable. Without the program, the goal is beyond our reach.

The report said the U. S. economy is well able to handle tho I proposed program without devel oping shortages of consumer goods. It said some unused manufacturing facilities might be put to work and provide more Jobs. Mr.

Truman's recommendation for fiscal 1951 was slightly smaller than the $1,314,000,000 voted by congress for the current fiscal year which ends June 30. Mr. Truman also asked special stand-by authority to use some of the money to help countries not specifically mentioned in case of a serious emergency affecting the security of the United States. The report said that the money for China would be used to expand or continue programs "directed toward furnishing essential equipment, training and other assistance to the non-Communist forces in this area that are now engaged or in danger of becoming engaged, in active conflict with militant Communist elements which are endeavoring to seize control." Mr. Truman's request followed swiftly Secretary of State Dean Acheson's extraordinary report to a joint meeting of the senate and house yesterday on his recent conferences in Europe.

Acheson said the defense of the western world has become so costlv that it can be handled only through what he called "balanced collective forces." Acneson, who said yesterday that the arms aid oroeram in f. sential to the security of the west, will open testimony on the new request tomorrow. He will be followed by military leaders who will spell out in detail the decision of the foreign ministers of the western powers to seek a Joint "balanced" military force for mutual defense.
