Colbert, Chrysler president, said, "Fred Zeder was a great American. Not only was he one of the nation's outstanding engineers, but also, as a man of deep religious convictions, he was loved as a leader in his community and in his church." All flags at Chrysler plants will fly a half staff until after the funeral. MR.

A TOTAL, OF $1,257,000 Was subscribed for the Red Cross during the Torch drive last fall.

"When the Torch fund goal was being determined the Red Cross was operating on a normal peacetime basis," explained Raymond T. Perring, 1951 campaign chairman. "But since the invasion of Korea in June, Red Cross budgets have skyrocketed. The Detroit chapter has been called upon for a larger quota," he said. In the campaign, the Detroit chapter is joining more than 3,700 other chapters in the United States.

The national goal is $85,000,000. GEN. PENG TEH HUAI Heading Chinese forces Report Shift in Chinese Command the accusation was asinine. Disclosure that Mr. Truman had quietly obtained from Reconstruction Finance Corp.

files 700 to 900 letters, mostly written by Senate and House members about RFC loans, roused the subcommittee to wrath. ITS MEMBERS chorused accusations that this was a retaliatory attempt to intimidate Congress and the subcommittee. Mr. Truman then made what looked like a peace overture and possibly a hint as to how Congress could end the inquiry without losing face. Joseph Short, White House press secretary, announced that the President "knows of no evidence of illegal influence of the RFC" by anyone in Congress or any members of his staff.

While attending Bay City Hurt Yanks NEAR HOENGSONG, Korea1 (JP) A Korean Huckleberry Finn guided a raiding American combat patrol into Hoengsong Saturday to rescue two wounded American soldiers. The Yanks had been hiding there since Feb. 13. The ragged little 13-year-old Korean was the day's hero. We'll call him Kim, because the Communists might retaliate against his parents should his real name be used.

For 10 days, the brave lad, whose blue rags are hitched together with a safety pin, concealed a wounded American lieutenant and technical sergeant in a shack.

Short added. He did not explain why such material would be of value to his chief. THE REORGANIZATION plan mentioned would the jobs of the RFC board of directors and put a one-man boss over the agency to pass on loans.

But the fact that Mr. Truman called for the material raised the probability the subcommittee will explore anew and more deeply the question of how far a Congressman may properly go to urge the lending of public funds. The subcommittee, headed by Senator Fulbright Ark.) ordered a public airing of the story behind a $1,500,000 RFC loan to help provide a splendid recreation spot for the wealthy. It is the famed Saxony Hotel at Miami Beach. Reports are current in Washington that some political figures often stay "for free" at the hotel, which has a minimum rate of $35 a day a room.

Also under inquiry will be a $1,000,000 Government loan to the Sorrento Hotel at Miami Beach. THE RFC granted both loans in the face of recommendations by its Jacksonville (Fla.) branch office that the applications should be rejected.

James Adair, of Hastings, of the two Americans. Wounds and frostbitten feet prevented their escape. By then it was dusk too late to rusk a patrol into Hoengsong. It seemed the two Americans must spend another night in pain and danger. Then Lt.

Leo T. Delaney, of Harrison, N. a doctor, had an idea. Would Kim go back into Hoengsong with medicine and food? "Yes," the boy said. The soldiers loaded him with two blankets, two boxes of rations, cigarets and drugs.

Promising to return to guide the American patrol, Kim slipped off. EARLY SATURDAY the little figure in patched canvas sneakers walked back into UN lines. With Delaney beside him, the boy then led a combat patrol to the two wounded Americans. Both were rushed to the rear for medical treatment. Their names were withheld.

When the patrol returned from Hoengsong, Kim came with it. Delaney said the Americans hoped to adopt the boy.
