Edinburgh, Aug. 29.

A former German prisoner of war who equipped himself with a phoney name and a fictitious Victoria Cross was sentenced to a year in prison today for fraud.

Werner Robert Schwarz, 32-year-old war- time Luftwaffe airman, was also recommended for deportation at the expiration of his sentence. A court here was told Schwarz, captured in Italy, escaped from an Egyptian POW camp and later reached Britain in 1947.

He was returned to Germany but came back to Britain in 1962. The next year he bought a car with a phoney cheque using the name Jack Bruce VC "an unusual declaration for a Ger- man POW," commented the prosecution.-China Mail Special.

UN Disarmament Committee Meets Anglo-US Views In Close Alignment

}

United Nations, N.Y., Aug. 29.

US Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., today presented formally to the United Nations Disarmament Committee President Dwight Eisen- hower's "peaceful inspection" plan and declared that fool-proof inspection is the "heart of disarmament”.

Mr Lodge told the five-nation sub-committee in an opening address that "no nation can afford to cut its strength" until an effective inspection system has first been agreed upon. This was a re-affirmation of the long-standing US posi- tion оп disarmament. He submitted the full text of President. Eisenhower's plan for mutual East-West inspection of defence installations as first outlined at Geneva.

Who Lost

Nairobi, Aug, 20. Security forces killed 48 Mau terrorists and captured Mau another 22 last week in Kenya an official communique issued today stated.

During the past 24 hours seven more terrorists were killed, three captured and one surrendered--Reuter.

The Major said that the story of the discovery was a combination of pure chance, planning, sometimes dangerous work by Corporal Harries and extremely good luck.

"The vein which I have seen and which may contain £10 million worth of Beryl was found by Corporal Harries in-a-lugout which had been made by the Japanese as part of their defences during the occupation of the Colony.

"The vein is an amazing one. It is nearly 30 inches wide, whereas the mineral is usually found in veins only four to eight inches thick.

"If Corporal Harries plays his cards right, and doesn't aim too high, I think he should make a fortune.”- --Reuter.

RAJPUTS POISED FOR ACTION
