Ex-Paratrooper Jumps
30 Feet In His Sleep
PORT CHESTER. N. Y. (j<P)—
Tom Thomas, 36, a discharged
paratrooper, dreamed that his
jumpmaster gave the command to
“jump!’
Asleep, he jumped from his sec
ond-floor bedroom window, plung
ing 30 feet into a narrow closed
alleyway.
Unhurt, but clad only in sum
mer pajamas, Thomas yelled into
the near-zero night until his land
lady threw down some blankets,
pending his rescue.
Firemen worked 4 minutes to
get him out. Then, over a cup of
steaming coffee, the ex-soldier
said:
“I could swear I heard the ser
geant yell ‘jump’.”
The mercury thermometer was
invented in 1714 by Gabriel Dan

for the second Monday in a row

lief Tuesday.
In the corn belt no rain was in

Seme scattered showers fell Sun
day in the Dakotas and southwest
and some light rain was expected
today in the Pacific Northwest.
New Mexico and Arizona.
Although forest fires still raged
in Idaho and California they were
under control with little prospects
of showers to douse them. Louisi
ana fire fighters also could expect
no help from rain, as the south re
mained hot and virtually rainless,
forecasters said.

Agents Investigate'
Disappearance Of 1
Crown Jewels * *'•
BERLIN, — U. S. agents
launched an intensive investigation
Saturday of the mysterious disap
pearance of part ol a fabulous col
i lection of German crown jewels,
and a stepson of the last Kaiser
said he thought the Russians were
involved.
Prince Ferdinand valued the 29
missing items at $2,000,000 and
! the entire collection at $5,000,000.
American criminal investigation
department agents previously re
ported the missing portion was
worth more than $500,000 and the
whole collection of 95 pieces about
$1,000,000.
The jewels belonged to Ferdi
nand’s mother, Princess Hermine,
widow of Kaiser Wilhelm II. They
were smuggled from the Russian
occupied zone of Germany, and
some quarters speculated that the
Russians might demand that the
balance of the treasure, now in
American custody, be returned to
their zone. *
American agents said a young
woman friend of the 34-year-old
prince spirited the jewels from
Princess Hermine, at Frankfurt
on-Oder, to her son in the Ameri
can zone. Princess Hermine died
in the Russian-zone city Thursday.
The prince said he had submit
ted to a truth serum test to sup
port the version of the mystery he
unfolded to American authorities.
The prince said the jewels van
ished from his trunk while he was
living in the American sector of
Berlin.
The investigators said that when
they were called in they found the
remaining jewels partly in the
over-turned trunk and partly in a
small suitcase on the table in the
prince’s room. To keep them safe
they took them into custody and
they are now in a U. S.-guarded
repository at Frankfurt-on-^Main
in the American occupation zone
to await disposition of Hermine’s
estate.
“By accident, we found she still
had some of the jewels belonging
to Princess Hermine which she
had not turned over to the Prince,”
said O. R. Carlucci, director of the
army’s criminal investigation de
partment.
Carlucci said he would ask the
Russians lor a report on Princess
Hermine’s death on the grounds
that underworld characters seek
i :ng the royal iewels she possessed
might havQ been involved. Car
lucci said a physician of the Kai
! ser’s widow reported “she was in
i apparent good health” before her
death last Thursday in the Russian
zone.
| The investigator said none of
j the 29 pieces of jewelry, rich in
precious stones, which the prince
' reported missing was among the
gems recovered.
Army agents said they still were
j unable to locate the missing treas
ures, which Ferdinand said were
! spirited from his trunk while he
was living in the U. S. sector of
Berlin.
