Police Find No Clue To
Boston Bank Robbers

dollars a million In cash at the
vauted garage of Brink's, Inc.,
armored transporatlon company,
Tuesday night. The robbery was
the largest cash haul in Ameri
can history.
Buzzer Saves $1 Million
Police said they had strong ev
. ldence the gunmen passed up an
additional million not because
they were unable to carry it
but because a sounding buzzer
frightened them off.
They quoted a Brink garage
man as saying he sounded an
office buzzer at about the time of
the holdup in an effort to get into
the vaulted section, vault em
ployes usually open the automa
tic door to the guarded office in
response to the buzzer.
Police said the gang leader rip
ped the adhesive tape from the
mouth of one of the five bound
and gagged vault employes and
demanded:
"What does that buzzer
mean?"
"Someone wants to get In
here," (he employe replied.
"What happens If nobody an
swers It?" the ganglcader asked.
"He might get suspicious and
notify police," was the reply.
Police bald that the gang ap
parently frightened by the per
sistent sounding of the buzzer
dropped efforts to get the con
tents of the strong box contain
ing the additional million and
bounded out of the place with
their enormous loot.
, Rewards Totoal $150,000
This Information did not throw
Investigators off their check of
former employes of the company.
They continued a minute listing
of the present activities of for
mer guards of the firm. '
Rewards which would tolal as
high as $150,000 have been offer
ed for the capture of the gunmen
or recovery of money seized In
the holdup.
The company offered $100,000
for the bandits "dead or impris
oned." .
The other possible $50,000 was
offered by the National Surety
corporation, with whom Brink's
was insured. The corporation
said It would pay five percent
of all cash recovered.
Most of the stolen bills were In
small denominations $20, $10,
$5, $2, $1.
Detectives may be able to
trace some of the money, how
ever. A Brink's official told police
that serial numbers would help as
much of the loot was in new bills.
This money, the official ex-
Elained, was mixed with older
Ills which can't be tracked down
very easily.

day reprimanded Vaughan for
activities the sioud looked Into
at last summer's five percenter
inquiry.
The two Republican senators
said the committee's unanimous
report on that investigation would
justify the disciplining of Vaug-
nan by Mr. Truman.
Senator Hoey (D-NC), the com
nlttee chairman, told a reporter
that while the report does crltt
clze Vaughan, "no effort should
be made to read into it what It
docs not itself contain." he add
ed:
"It should be borne In mind
that the criticisms of General
Vaughan do not reflect on his
character or integrity, but relate
instead to customs and practice's
engaged in ny mm. rue commit
tee did not suggret that the Prcsl
dent take any action."
Improper Influence Seen
The report rapped at Vaughan
for accepting seven home free
zers from a company which the
committee said obviously was
trying to curry favor with the
presidential aide. The document
also criticized the general on sev
eral other counts. Vaughan de
clined to comment.
The freezer Incident was a
high point of the committee's In
quiry Into the activities of men
who collect a commission, often
five percent of the proceeds, for
help in getting government con
tracts for others.
The purpose of the Investiga
tion was to find out whether Im
proper Influence figured in the
handling of those contracts and
other federal business. The com
mittee concluded it did.
The freezers Vaughan receiv
ed were presented by him to Mrs.
notables. Besides condemning
Truman and other Washington
Vaughan's acceptance of the
units, the committee report said
In effect that the presidential
aide had used his Influence to
help friends engaged In business
with the government.

In eastern Washington and Or

occasional freezing rain and sleet
in the southern portions.
Portland was getting mixed
sleet and rain today, with city

of Portland, where drifts reach

The weather bureau ordered

Court Asked To Halt
Short Job In Mines ,
(Continued from page One)
L. Lewis kept his plans to him
self.
About 90.000 miners In seven
states stayed away from the pits
entirely this week, refusing to
work even the three days Lewis
has ordered for the Industry as a
whole. This was the third straight
week In which key groups of min
ers have. qui, work completely.
lewis nas muaiy suggesiea
that the comDletclv Idle coal min
ers return to their Jobs, a "sun.
gestion many ignored, iney may
become the basis for a Lewis
argument against the Denham
court plea: That he had already
asKPd ine miners 10 return 10
work, but thev didn't as a protest
against lack of a work contract.
Taft Questions Move
Some lawmakers, including
Senator Taft, who have been urg-
lne Pres dent Truman to act un
der the Taft-Hartley law to halt
the three-day week because or
lack of coal, expressed doubt that
Denham can do the same thing
under another section of the la
bor law.
Taft said he doesn't think Con
gress Intended to give anyone ex
cept the President the power to
force men to go back to work
without a contract. He said Den
ham might get an Injunction to
require Lewis to bargain with
coal operators In good faith and
stop demanding what they call
Illegal contract terms.
"But I can't see that would be
an effective means of getting full
production of coal," Taft said. He
urged again that Mr. Truman de
clare a national emergency and
seek the emergency-type injunc
tion. Previous court actions of
this type have resulted In heavy
fines for Lewis and the union for
not obeving Injunctions.
CIO President Philip Murray
announced that his organization
"vigorously protests" Denham's
action and said CIO lawyers will
work with Lewis' United Mine
Workers union legal staff In
fighting the case.
"In this attack upon the UMW.
through the Instrumentality of
the evil Taft-Hartley law." Mur
ray said, "Denham Is challenging
the legitimate rights and inter
ests of all organized labor."
Denham acted on the premise
that Lewis Is making lllegHl de
mands on the operators and us
ing the limited work week and
full strike tactics to "club the
operators" Into accepting union
terms.
The whole trouble Is that Lewis
and the mine operators have
failed to get together for nearly
eight months now on new con
tract terms. The old agreement
expired last July 1.
The operators have balked at
Lewis' demands, cleamlng some
of them are Illegal, and Lewis has
refused to alter the asking price.
The shortened work week Is
union device to pressure the mine
ownrs Into settling. Only a very
lew oi mem nave done so.
Lewis main demands are a Re
cent boost In the present $14.05
basic daily wage, plus a 15-cent
increase in the 20-cent tonnage
royalty for the miners .welfare
fund to pay for pensions and
othc . benefits. The operators say
this li more than they can afford.

only seeking reaction.
The committee is considering
expansion of social security bene

with the House-passed bill ex
panding coverage and benefits
under the existing program. .
