H. G. Foster, special agent in charge of the FBI here, said Tues day night an estimated $270,000 of the haul had been recovered. Due to the speedy apprehension of four alleged principals in the case, it was believed others would have difficulty disposing of the missing stocks through legitimate chan nels. The FBI has issued a call to the public to help in recovering the securities, which include is sues of IBM, Polaroid, AT&T, Standard Oil of New Jersey and E.I. Du Pont de Nemours.

Rusk and his advisers were due to leave by French Approve Gen. Lemnitzer PARIS (UPI) President Charles de Gaulle's government today approved the appointment of Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer of the United States to be supreme allied commander in Europe. The decision was made at a cabinet meeting summoned by De Gaulle to consider this and other major issues facing France and the Western Alliance. France's endorsement of Lem nitzer had been expected, since De Gaulle had issued a commu nique last week saying he felt an American should command the NATO forces in Europe because of the preponderance of American contributions to the alliance. Lemnitzer will succeed Gen. Lauria Norstad as supreme com mander. The cabinet also was expected to discuss the bill authorizing the creation of a French nuclear strik ing force, which becomes law to nieht unless the Socialist opposi tion can muster the 48 national assembly votes needed to sponsor a censure motion. The striking force bill provides for the spending of $40 million on nuclear production.

Authoritative sources said Rusk was leaving Geneva with the feel ing the crisis over Berlin is no more serious than it was when he arrived last Friday. The United States and the Soviet Union are to maintain contact about Berlin although the time and place of these contacts have not yet been determined, the sources said.

Rusk and Gromyko spent the day conferring with their staffs, with no attempt by either side to arrange a fourth meeting between Riddle Board Appoints Daniels To Committee At the last meeting of the Riddle School Board, E. E. Daniels was appointed by the board to serve on the county community college study committee, reports corre spondent Erma Best.

The fishway was covered with slabs of con crete which, in turn, were strewn with boulders, hiding much of the construction. The project created a great deal of controversy at the time. But the commission insists that much additional water was made avail able and the stream's capacity for fish production increased. Last winter, however, one of the "gates," a removable slab built to permit cleaning, was dislocated and fell into the fishway. This al lowed the tunnel to be filled with gravel, completely preventing pas sage of fish, Bauer reports. It was necessary to use a dredge and other equipment, plus much hand labor, to clear the obstruction. But debris has been removed, the fishway cleared and cleaned, im proved "gates" installed, and the fishway restored to use. Bauer estimates that around 150 steelheads had collected in the large pool below the falls. It was interesting to observe, he says. that within three minutes from the time the fishway was cleared that I the fish had started using it, and 'within a comparatively short time I all fish had moved upstream. 000 bail for a hearing Aug. 3. The other two alleged principals Gordon A. Tallman and Robert J. Dodge, are being held respec tively in no bail and $100,000 bail. Tallman is the $120 a week stock clerk at Bache who alleg edly stole the securities from the firm. Dodge, an unemployed truck driver, allegedly acted as the mid dleman, relaying instructions from Pomeranz to Tallman on how to carry out the theft. the two foreign ministers. The two have met privately three times for a total of 10V4 hours since their arrival in Ge neva last Friday. Thev have gone over Benin ana other cold war problems in that time. Earlier. Communist sources said that Gromyko was awaiting instructions from Moscow on pos- sible further talks with Rusk. But, with the decision to leave, that plan has been ditched. Senators Want Stiff Drug Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) Five Democrats who think drug manu facturers are using Americans as unwitting guinea pigs to test new medicines have urged the Senate to stiffen Sen. Estes Kefauver's much-rewritten drug reform bill. The five Kefauver and Sens. Philip A. Hart, Mich.; John A. Carroll, Colo., Thomas J. Dodd Conn., and Edward V. Long, Mo. said in a formal report late Tuesday that most drug prices are unreasonably high. "Today important patented drugs are being sold to druggists at prices which represent mark ups of 800 to 1,200 per cent," they complained. The five Democrats are a mi nority of the Senate Judiciary Committee which rewrote and wa tered down a drastic reform bill proposed by Kefauver after a 26- month-long investigation. The committee majority five Republicans and four Southern Democrats said the revamped bill aimed to meet President Ken nedy's March 14 call for better protection to drug users. Two members of the majority. Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, III., and Roman L. Hruska, R-Neb., wrote a separate reply to the charges of Kefauver and his backers. The tremendous healing power of today's prescriptions, the Re publicans said, have reduced doc tors' fees and hospital bills by eliminating or reducing the need for hospitalization. They said Kefauver and his sup porters also Ignored the fact thai even if all drug industry profits were eliminated the price of pre scriptions would not drop notice ably.

Kennedy won the first round Tuesday, when the House ap proved and sent him a bill au thorizing a $4.6 billion ceiling on foreign aid for fiscal year which started July 1. But the actual money must still be appropriated, and the legisla tion to do that was being studied by appropriations subcommittee Chairman Otto E. Passman, D-La. He defeated Kennedy on the is sue last year and hopes to do the same this time. Passman told United Press In- Vandiver Offers Troops To End Racial Rioting ALBANY. Ga. (UPI) Gov. Ernest Vandiver - said today he would send "all the troops neces sary" to keep racial peace in tins troubled south Georgia city where a rock-throwing demonstration in volving 2,000 Negroes erupted Tuesday night. The governor made clear that if the courts fail to bring the sit uation under control the "state intends to step in... if it takes 12, 000 national guardsmen." Vandiver said from his office in Atlanta that he though Federal Judge Elbert Tuttle was "abso- lutely... wrong" -Tuesday in lifting a legal ban against racial dem onstrations. Tuttle reversed a restraining order that had been handed down earlier by another federal judge, Robert Elliott. The violence occurred lust a few hours after Tuttle's decision when 300 hymn singing Negroes marched on City Hall to protest segregation. Police arrested 40 of the dem onstrators, including one white man, while a crowd of about 2,000 Negroes stood nearby. In overturning the restraining order, Tuttle made clear that El liott could still hold another hear ing next week to determine wheth er a temporary injunction, a legal step toward winning a permanent injunction, should be issued to again ban the protests. The hearing is scheduled next Monday and Vandiver said he be lieves Judge Elliott can invoke new legal restraints at that time. The immediate goal of Albany Negroes is establishment of a bi racial committee through which they can discuss with city offi cials future desegregation goals, ending segregation at all public facilities such as parka, libraries, lunch counters and swimming pools. Thev are also demanding mat $200 cash bonds posted by arrest ed demonstrators be returned. Rocks and bottles were burled last night at officers who moved into the crowd to disperse it. Two officers were injured. Parents Seek News Of Missing Youths Parents of two teen-aged Rose burg boys are seeking informa tion that might be helpful in lo cating their sons.

Tuesday's attend ance at the pool was a new high for the year and tops the nigh single- I day attendance of the past several Isummera. Aid Cut ternatlonal in an interview that It was time for Congress to cut for eign aid spending to the $2.5 bil lion level. Storm Clouds Ahead 'Why, even if we give them $3.5 billion," he said, "they wouldn t know what to do with it." This means storm clouds ahead for the White House, which told Congress last January that 14.9 billion was needed to run the fop eign aid program. Congress authorized $206 mil lion less but Passman hopes to cut the original request almost in half. He points to unused funds from past years and the imbal ance of payments problem as good justification for the move. Chances are that Passman will not win the drastic cuts but the reductions his House subcommit tee votes probably will be large enough to prompt an appeal dv Kennedy to the Senate for restor ation of the money. Was Slashed $860 Million Passman kept the foreign aid program just below $4 billion last year. This represented an $860 million slash from what Kennedy originally wanted. This year Pass man wants to make that cut more than $2 billion. In the authorization bill ap proved Tuesday, Congress gave Kennedy authority to continue U.S. aid to Poland and Yugosla via when h considered It vital to American interests. Kennedy wanted the nower to take advan tage of cracks in the Iron Cur- in. The bill; regarded as a major administration victory, also was wiihnnt lum nrnvisions the White Hniun had fought to remove.

Senate Probers Condemn Hoffa WASHINGTON (UPI) The Snnnte rackets subcommittee to day harshly condemned Teamsters President James H. noua aa a man who doesn't care whether union' racketeers rob or steal members' money. The subcommittee concluded in a formal report to the Senate that Hoffa defiantly refused to cleanse teamsters locals of criminal ele ments and brazenly ignored tne welfare of his 1,600,000 members. Investigators found further that Hoffa used every available means to thwart clean-up campaigns by court-appointed monitors. Hoffa even rewarded tainted local offi cers by promoting them to jobs high in the international union, they said. Hearings on wnicn me suDcom mittee's report and findings were based were held in January, 1961. Chairman John L. McClelland ex plained that .issuance of me report was delayed until after the trial for bribery of Antonio (Tony Ducks) Dorallo, former New York teamsters offical and "one of the mmt nowerful underworld figures in the New York area."

The subcommittee charged that New York Local 239 continued as part of Corallo'i racket empire after his sham resignation as vice president in 1958. It laid Hoffa not only knew of but acquiesced in Corallo'i continued Denina-ine scenes control. Immediately after resigning, the subcommittee said, Corallo placed on the union payroll two criminal lieutenants who collected aalaries exactly equal to his. The Corallo associates, Anthony Caataldi and John Spada, were in fact nothing more, than "dum mies who siphoned tens of thou sands of dollars from the union treasury, the subcommittee charged.

(In Paris, . the French covern. ment announced it will order the 300,000 French troops still in Al geria to intervene if mistreatment of Frenchmen there continues. About 500 French nationals werat believed to have been kidnaped or have disappeared since Independ ence July 1. (Five Europeans were killed In a shooting spree in Algiers Mon day. (Information Minister Lain Pav- refitte also said the government is not surprised over the dissen sion between the Algerian fac tions but believes it should be re solved "through holding of Demo cratic elections.") Claim of Victory Ben Bella himself was mnvini? triumphantly in a 17-car proces sion toward Algiers,' claiming that the Algerian Nationalist Par liament (CNRA) had approved his plans to install one-party rule under his leadership. The reports on the critical situ ation in Constantlne came from two ministers of Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda's covern. ment, Belkacem Krim and Moham. med Boudiaf, who are in Kabylia province, where the army has re mained loyal to Ben Khedda. . The reports said the Ben Hell. ist troops arrested Lakhdar Ben Tobbal, a Ben Khedda cabinet minister, and Col. Souat El Arab, commander of the military district that includes Constantin.

There was no Immediate corn- ment from Ben Khedda on the statement by his rival for power, There was nn evnlanatlnn fmm the Bon ,Bel)a camp on how the CNRA members were contacted to approve the plan.

Ben Khedda has said he will accept the plan only if It is ap proved by the 72-member CNRA. The resolution was circulated while Ben Bella was moving to ward Algiers in a motorcade of 17 cars. ' At the same time Ben Khedda's emissary, Mohammed Said, was en rout to TIemcen to confer with, the rival faction. Ben Bella is expected to men her by the weekend.
