Revaluation 0f Currencies ls live lopic

By Forbes Rhoda tCsnsdian Press Business Editor)

Revaluation of currencies ap- parently will continue to be a prime topic for speculation for the balance of the year.

In fact, if Britain did not a0 consistently say that she does not intend to devalue the pound. most observers would say that re- valuation of European currencies is definitely in the cards.

Many of them do any it. de- spite Britain's statements.

At present, the values of the rurrencies of most trading coun- tries are set by agreement under thevfnternatlonal Monetary Fund. They are not allowed to fluctuate with- the flow of trade and busi- ness; but are controlled b)’ m9" governments.

This was decided as the least upsetting thing for the post-war period, though many,think it isn't.

lt ls acknowledged, for instance. that the pound sterling in a free market will not bring M — and the mo is similar for most European countries.

Accordingly, it is easy enough to make out a case for revaluation. “hi is not so wall known n the thinking behlnd Britain's stand. and» on ‘what she bases her ap- parent belief that she can hold "It Pound to a. value equal to M.

Sir Stafford Crlppa says reval- "fltlon is unnnecessary and not contemplated, and virtually lets it so tthat. _

lonely Hearts I Are Easy ‘Mark For Mur_d_erers

By Cynthia Lowry

NEW YORK. May 16-—(AP)- .'I‘he record shows that lonely -ladies arid gentlemen with money should be very. very careful about making new friends.

Many times murder ends their loneliness. Lonely people are ideal victims. and murder for profit is a classic type of crme.

Law authoritia; of New York and Michigan currently are inter-_ cited in a swarthy. toupeed Latin and his ZOO-pound mistress. The pair has confessed, they say, to three brutal kllings, the upshot of a. "lonely hearts" racket they oper- ated. They were arrested in Michi- gan.

Britain's Scotland Yard has in custody a dapper, debonair Eng- lishman charged with slaying a well-to-do widow anti almost com. pletely disposing of her body. The Yard also is concerned about the disappearance of five other sub- lects of His Majesty who disap- peared from the same general area.

The annals of violence are fili- ed with many killings for profit, cases hat have become classics of crime.

Police never found any trace of ten or more victims of the notorious French killer, Desire Landm —- all of them women. George Joseph Smfth had a way with unhappy women, and developed an inter. Psi-Ink W8)’ OI getting rid of them -— but he forgot that English news- papers printed news. .

Landru. a petty crook until the First World War broke out, was an undlstinguisheri scion of a lower-middle class French family. Within a week after war stated hc embarked on a career of whole- sale murder. His first victim was a 30-year-old widow with consider- able savings.

Landry Kept Score

Theyaet up housekeeping in a small house outside Paris. Then she dsappeared. With a nation plunged into war. people were interested in things much bisser than what a neighbor was up to and there was no comment even when he sold the furniture and moved on. Prom 1014 there was a succession of widows and disappointed spinsters with savings — in Landrus life.

It was his bookkeeper's soul that trapped him. A sister of a woman who "disappeared" recognized him. Police found him in his apartment -- where they also found a. little black notebook in which this thrifty son of France had care- fully listed 10 of his victims -- and the expensa incurred in do- ing away with them. The fact police were unable to find any bodies was of some embarrassment during the trial, but Landru went to the guillotine anyway.

George Joseph Smith was also a. small-time crook, but his specialty was making paper marriages to susceptible spinsters. He'd gather in the easy profits — usually savings — and get onto the next project. Finally Smith turned ‘es murder, which was a mistake be- cause swlndled. deserted women kept silent. But Smith, in 1911, wanted Hassle Mandy's $10,000 annuity and murder was the only way he could get it.

As "Mr. Williams," he took his bride to an Ihigllsh boarding house and bought n. tin bathtub; then he escorted her to a physician. whom he told about Bessle's "fits." The nut day Beale was found dead in the bathtub. The coroner's jury. hearing about the trip to the doctor. found the cause was an epileptic fit. Smith received his money.

Bis next victim was a nurse. I-fe married her in 1913. after he had insured her llfa for 81.000. A few days after their marriage, she was found dead in the bathtub heart disease, this time, the coroner's jury found.

Number three‘a insurance policy was for $3.500 —- and her death was caused by a respiratory ail- ment. But that was the end of the "brides of the bath" cases, because the father of an earlier bride read about the death. The name of the bridegroom was differ- ent, the woman died of a different ailment. but the rest of the de- tails were exactly similar. George Joseph Smith was hanged by the neck until dead in 1016,.

Great Increase 0i Girl Guides In German Zones

BERLIN. May 16 - (Reuters)- Betnveen 250 and 300 groups of girls are actively engaged today in the Girl Guide movtment in the United States occupied ocine of Germany.

Considering that, up to Janu- ary, 1947, there were only about 20 groups and almost no promo- tirm work had been done, this growth of the Girl Guikle organ- ization is striking.

In a survey made. for the aroup activities branch of United States military government's education and cultural relations division. Miss Gertrude Bruns. United States. visiting consultant from the International Council of Girl Scouts a-nd Girl Guides. finds that there are two sources of ecourage- merit for the movement.

On-e is the support of the Cath- olic Church which organized its first group in Munich in M-amh, i047. The fact that a Guide struc- ture was set up fbllowlng a dir- ective from the highest church authority created an organization of considerable size in a short time.

Today, there are more than 1,000 Girl Guides ln groups affli- iated to various Catholic churches throughout the zone.

The second is the sum-ner- tralning schem; in youth leader- ship sponsored by the military government. ‘This was begun in 11947 when representatives of the world Girl Guide organization came from Great Britain, Eire and Denmark to Isl-lat in the train- ing of activg leaders of Gammon groups selected for their special interest and geographical location.

Big Program

1n addition, local teachers gave lectures and helped to organize sports activities. games, eingtng, and studies in naturg lore and psychology. This was a valuable object lesson for trainees to use the resources of the local coon- munlty.

Other activities such u crimp- ing skills, draonatirsa and fob: dancing were interspersed with discussions on the patrol system, the world association, the history and aims of scouting and guiding. program planning. and tests for Brownies and! seniors. ,

German girls returning from these training courses are eager to bring their groups into lino with who international policies and practices of the world organiza- tlcin.

This pressure from the Germ- arna themselves la proving far more effectiv, than any amount of persuasion from non-German sources.

Because of the beneficial re- sults of helping the Germans to help their-waives, more Gearnam leaders should receive training, according to Miss Bruna. The ac- tivities of thq, Guides. when the leader is untrained are usually confined to hiking. singing and iiolik dnncintl. “ihrmt tsplul Guide actlvitim aim at character- huilding and international m-op- oration.

The most economic and fruitful training method. she suggests. ‘would be to bring morg trainers from flourishing orglilawlom in other Oolmtrioa to the Tlnlbad states none more often. fin oddl- tlon, one believes that if German leaders were given the opportun- ity to observe the Gllldg move- ment in other countries. they would learn new ideas to put into pa-actlc, on their return hrme.

Chinese Reds Ban Reports From Their Area

As cori spondsnts report the slow death of Nationalist. China. the really important story of iinw Communist China is building itself for the future is hard to get

This is mainly because since last February the Chinese Communists have not. let coq-rspondents gutlirr or report news frcm the ares. they rule.

The fact that for some unknown reason they choose not to let their story be told in the usual maiiiirr does not diminish the important-c of the story itself

It is getting out in bits and pieces -seldom of headline calibre-ii;- facts buried among ITiHFSES of radio propaganda, in private iff- ters which now cone through with- nut apparent restraint. and from individuals who are allowed to leave, This is a roundup cf some of these hits and pieces
