Prince Frederick of Prussia, 49-year-old grand- son of the Kaiser, sat through five hours of legal argument before the Foreign Compensation Tribunal in London made its decision. Prince Frederick will now be able to claim from a £2,665,000 fund for a lost estate in Poland.
The estate, which included a castle and forests, was on the frontiers of pre-war Germany, was over- run by the Russions in 1945, and then onnexed by
and the Polos. The castle was looted by soldiers burned down in 1946.
Prince Frederick fled from Hitler's Gormany in 1937, and became naturalised in Britain in 1947. He said after the case: "I am very pleased with the result."

The Vertistat (seen hero) is a now, simple device developed by General Dynamics Corporation of America to keep satellites right-side-up while they ore in orbit. It is based on the "gravity gradient erection principle" a theory that holds that if a long thin satellite is in orbit, gruvity will exert a greator pull on the end of the satellite that is closer to the planet's surface. Until the satellite reaches orbit, the Vortistat is carried in • compact coil, weighing foss than 10 pounds. In orbit, small vernier rockets roughly orient the satellite, and the Vértistat is extended to position and holds the satellite at precisely the right attitudo. It consists of a primary tube about 100 feet long which unrolls like a measurcing tapo from the top of the satellite. Four shorter horizontal tubes unroll at right angles, to prevent swaying.

Y nine votes to six, the Hongkong Legislativo Council yesterday defeated a motion proposed by the Hon Mr M. K. Lo. to the effect that the Colony could not afford so large and cost- ly a civil service as now exista, and urging the Government to take in- mediate steps to effect all possible retrenchmenta.
In support of his motion, Hon Mr Lo quoted figures regarding the burden of salaries, pointing out that the full Bill amounted to something like 14 million dollars annually leaving only nine and a half millions to cover the
of whole cost civil administration. He suggested that Government should not engage any more sterling-paid officers without consulting Council and that facilities should be given bo officers recently recruited to service without leave the subjecting the Colony to any pension liability.
He also urged the em- ployment of local talent on a larger scale than was at present done.
The Civil Service, he said, was not only over-staffed but in cases grossly over-pald. For the sake of the reputation of the Government Ber- vice, bribery and other ir- regular practices must be stamped out, he declared.
The Colonial Secretary re- plying for the Government, Baid the cost of administrá- tion in Hongkong was not unfavourable compared with other Colònies. He pointed the out the expansion of various departments to cope with the Colony's growth which necessitated addi- tional expenditure, and gave the assurance that the Gov- ernment was doing all in its power to curtail expendi- ture.
His Excellency the Gov- ernor stated that he was with the mover and second in the spirit of the motion and assured the Council that Government would react to the appeal that the staff be kept at the minimum with efficiency compatible and that the percentage of local recruits would be kept at the maximum patible.
