The fabulously wealthy Aga Khan, father-in-law of film star Rita Hayworth, and his wife the Begum, were robbed as they drove away from their Riviera estate near Cannes. Four men, armed with tommy guns, halted their automobile on the open highway and seized the Begum's jewelry. The couple was enroute to Deauville to visit Miss Hayworth and her husband, Prince Aly Khan, the Aga Khan's son. Among those arrested was a French citizen of British parent age, George Lindsay Watson, whom the police described as the "finger man" in the case. He has been charged with "complitlcy in robbery." The robbers at first had bur led their loot at a Villa close by the scene of the holdup at Le Cannet, near Cannes. Some of the men now in cus tody said that for days after the holdup while police were comb ing bars and waterfront dives from the Italian border to Mar seille the Jewels lay burled in the garden. 5-QT.

North Atlantic Allies Sign Defense Agreement . (Continued from page One) ain, Italy, Belgium, The Nether lands, Luxembourg, Denmark and Norway. The language of each country's agreement varies, but the main commitments are identical. These provide that all countries will pool their defense plans to defend Western Europe against any attack and that no arms fur nished them will be turned over to any other nation "without the prior consent" of the United States. All pledge to "take such se curity measures as mav be agreed" to "prevent the disclosure or compromise of any classified (secret) military articles, serv ices or Information." Spelling out the conditions for American help was the primary purpose of the agreements. But they also pledge that the United States can get raw and semi-processed materials from the eight countries "upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon." The signing came about three months later than the schedule anticipated when the plan was worked out. France Is to get the biggest chunk of American military help because in any Russian attack on western Europe its army would be expected to hear the brunt of the initial defense. Major Terme Listed While terms of the agreements were kept secret before the sign ing officials said in advance that these are the main provisions: 1. Each country pledges to use American military help only for the purposes specified to strengthen the total defense of the North Atlantic area. 2. All promise to bolster their own defenses and to aid other allies with any weapons and sup piles deemed necessary. This is known as the self-help and mu tual aid provision. 3. No country wll!transfer any American equipment without pri or consent of the United States. 4. Strict .security measures will tie put Into effect to make sure arms and secret information re main only in authorized hands. 5. Each government agrees to pay the expenses of American military aid missions. About 200 American Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine officers and govern ment officials are to be sent over seas under this program to train the pact countries in the use and maintenance ot the arms. Britain Gets Assurance Britain's objections to the word ing of the agreement suggested by the United States Nov. 3 were finally Ironed out yesterday. U.

Per Capita Basis Jsed Recognizing the problem of providing each district with Its. tust snare oi tne county levy, the county board has, in most in stances, prorated the allotments on a per capita basis for the sake of uniformity by using the ave rage daily membership on the teachers' report of Nov. 18, 1949. In those instances wherein the per capita basis was unsuitable, a unit oasis was sec up. In the event an individual dis trict feels the county allotment is Insufficient to meet the needs of the district, it may place an ad ditional amount needed in their special levy budget, which must be submitted not later than July 15. . .

Jan. 27 UP) The death' of George Purvis, 83, Chetco river resident, was ac cidental. That was the verdict of ur. A. w. Cartwrlght, Curry county coroner, and Sheriff R. ft. Sabin. . Sabln said Purvis nerlshed in the flames of his house, destroyed early Wednesday. The fire was seen for miles, but no body was discovered and at first it was be lieved Purvis had escaped. iaier i-urvis- skuu was lound in the ashes of the home, nine miles up the river from the coast, Sabin said. Nearby was a mass of fused glass. Sabln said this presumably was from a Jar of kerosene that caught fire. Pur vis was known to have used kero sene to light fires, he said.

GOP Move Fails When the bill was brought up, House GOP Leader Martin of Massachusetts offered an amend ment proposing a $700,000,000 ex cise reduction. It would have halved the 20 percent retail lev ies on furs, jewelry, luggage and toilet articles and reduced many others. Martin told the House that while Congress delays action "there H what might be called a buyers' strike in the country, hurting business and causing un employment." He tailed to get a vote. Rep. Gore (D-Tenn), presiding at the time, held that House rules bar an excise amendment to a bill dealing only with the corpor ation income tax section of the Internal Revenue code. That was the end of the excise scrap for the day. No one -would precict, however, what might happen when the House and Senate finally act on a tax measure. Mr. Truman, in Monday s tax message, asked for excise reduc tions but gave notice he would veto any bill that did not pick up the lost revenue. He proposed plugging the tax loopholes and adding $1,000,000,000 in revenue by raising taxes on corporations, inheritances and big gifts. Two Men Burn To Death As Traffic Chase Sequel CAMBRIDGE.

A jamuo of 400 trucks at Helm- stedt main Soviet checkpoint on the east-west Autobahn today was the worst since last Sunday. Some cargoes were stalled as much as 40 hours by the Rug. elan slowdown, enforced equally against trucks attempting to en ter or to leave the east zone, West Berlin's basic supplies food and fuel were reported am pie despite strangulation of the city s road communications. But Charles A. Dix, American transport chief in Berlin, said the "creeping blockade" was a hard blow at West Berlin industries which hae been trying to re build their inter-zonal trade. Economic Plight Severe -. The city's economic position is desperate. Every fourth West Berlin worker is jobless. Unem ployment relief is dependent on donations from the West German republic. Grim rumors circulate that German Communists may at tempt a putsch this spring in West Berlin if economic hope lessness still grips a large share of the population. Dix said tne crippling of the highway route apparently would benefit the soviet-controlled east zone railway by in creasing freight revenues. American, British and French commanders in Berlin protested yesterday in a note to the Soviet Commandant, Mai. Gen. Alex ander Kotikov, against "these ab normal restrictions." The formal note said the slow-down appeared to be a calculated attempt to re strict normal movement be tween Berlin and the western zones.
