Oct, 13, 1955 Negro Uncovers $50,000 Buried Under House DALLAS, Tex. fjft When Jack son Davis, 24, found $50,000 in the basement of a Dallas home, he just quit his job and went back to his home in Corsicana, Tex. Some of the money was in gold certificates which Jackson didn't recognize as currency. But he made a down payment on a house and bought a new automobile and a television set. He told questioning officers he was working on his first job in the city, diKttintf a trench for a plumb ing iirm, when tie l o u n d the money. He was dazed to learn he had been charged with theft, police said. lie Rave them the old thermos bottle in which he found the money and more than $-13,000 remained unspent. After eight days in jail, Davis, a Negro, was released yesterday at the request of the owner of the house, whom police did not iden tify. The owner said the money ap parently was buried during the de pression by a relative who died more than 20 years ago without revealing the presence of the cache. Jackson's discovery first came to light when he told two Corsicana Sun reporters about it. Soviets Contend Dulles' Speech Counfers Spirit Moscow, im Soviet news papers Wednesday described Sec retary of State Dulles' Miami speech as "counter to the spirit of Geneva." They printed a 'lass dispatch from Washington saying Dulles tried "to sow distrilct of the peaceful policy pursued by the U.S.S.H." This was the only report pub lished here on Dulles' address to the American Legion convention. This marks a change in signals. The policy recently in the Soviet Press has been to print extended excerpts of such speeches and give Soviet readers an opportunity to judge the contents. I'ravda, at the same time, de clared the unification of Germany can be brought about only bv prior establishment of the Soviet-spon-aorcd system of collective Europe an security. In this both East and West Germany would be mem bers. Pravda denounced the West ern view that German unficatinn is ( precondition for establishment of a security system. These views are being published only two weeks before the open ing of the Big Four foreign min isters' meeting at Geneva. mmiMmnnum.mmmm - wm-mmvtxv m imi " i ' U ' ; ' 4 n 9 ' -,' I : v f--l . i WhfAimm'4 iv4i rtfft w-i "SEEINC-EYE" CAT Meet "Specks." year-old cat who is me .

NATO Defense Chiefs Call For More Spending By EDDY GILMORE PARIS 11 The defense chiefs of the North Atlantic Alliance turned toward home today after hearing stern warnings that Western mili tary spending must go up not down. The defense ministers ot t h NATO allies opened their three-day conference Monday hopeful that the recent peaceful overtures from Russia might warrant cuts in their appropriations for their armed forces. They got a shock. NATO's top advisers warned the ministers cuts in their defense spending was unthinkable in the face of the Soviet Union's still growing military might. Gen. Alfred M Gruenther, the supreme Allied commander in Eu rope, told the ministers the free world could win a war if it started now, but he warned that the bal ance of power is tipping slowly to ward the Communists.
