Thieves Raid
Home Littered
With Money
WEST BABYLON. N. Y . Oct.
II ift The flour-barrel holdup of
a taxidriver and his recluse sister
led police today to the discovery
of a junk-packed house littered
with thousands of dollars cash.
Police estimated 30.000 or more
was scattered through the ram
shackle, brown-shingled home of
John Van Huda, S3, and his sister
Josephine.
Every room in the two-story
house was stuffed with dusty
newspapers dating back to 1906,
rags, empty boxes and other con
tainers. Police were astonished to find
money lying on the floor like
scraps of paper. Some bills were
worn thin from the tread of shoes.
They also found coins and bills
in coffee bags, flower pots and
kitchen utensils, and in every
pocket of 20 pairs of trousers and
10 jackets hanging in closets.
Van Huda summoned police aft
er two thugs entered the house
and slugged him on the head.
They came equipped with a flour
barrel and hauled away cash est
imated by Van Huda at $12,000.
Van Huda said he invited them
In after they knocked on the door
and said they had a barrel of gro
ceries collected by his neighbors
because he seemed to be in such
want.
His sister, who police said was
in her 60s, screamed and the rob
bers fled.
Late tonight authorities were
still silting through the rubbish in
the house for money. They had
taken out a washtub full of cash
and bag stuffed with more money.
Counting was expected to take
most of the night.
How Van Huda and his nister
came by the money remained a
mystery.

James Daniels, executive-secretary,

'False Papers'
Charge Hurled
By Communists
WASHINGTON, Oct' 13
(AP) - A Rirl clerk in the U. S.
Embassy at Prague, vho is re
ported to have taken an auto
tour with a Czechoslovak man,
cot enmeshed in an interna-
ional incident today.
me lommumsi government oi
Czechoslovakia accused her of
travelling on false identification
papers and forced the United
States to order her out of Czecho
slovakia. The United States unexpectedly
admitted that the charge of false
PPfr was lruf ?enlea
espionage was involved, however
and blamed the whole thing on
"attentions paid to the clerk by
a mysterious "Czechoslovak citi
zen." Seat Vienna
It directed Miss Vera Margaret
Osse of Yorkville. Ohio, to depart
from Prague promptly and report
for a duty in the U.S. Embassy
in Vienna.
The whole affair failed to fit the
usual pattern of indignant charge
and angry countercharge which
has characterized the ouster of
scores of diplomats from Commu
nist or Western capitals during
the stormy" decade of East West
conflict.
Some State Department officials
wondered privately whether Miss
Osso might have been the victim
of a trap to embarass the United
States, but others thought they saw
in the whole thing perhaps an ele
ment of romance which suddenly
was caught up in the fierce cross
currents of international politics.
At any rate the first word of the
Incident came this morning when
the Prague Radio announced the
Czechoslovak Communist govern
ment wanted Miss Osso removed
on the ground that when she trav
elled in the Tatra Mountains she
had used identification papers
made out in the name of a Czecho
slovak woman.
Unfortunate Victim
The State Department said "She
was the unfortunate victim of the
attentions of a Czechoslovak citi
zen who influenced her to accom
pany him on a motor trip to
Slovakia during which he provided
and presented false documenta
tion for her."
If this was a technical violation
by Miss Osso of the regulations
in Communist Czechoslovakia, the
statement commented, it was "en
tirely inadvertent."

In Shoplifting
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13
(AP)-Pretty Mrs. Sonjc Juz
nik, 26-year-old wife of a Yu
goslav vice consul, was held in
lieu of $250 bail tonight on a
shoplifting charge, Police In
spector Al Corrassa said.
Corrassa said Mrs. Juznik, wife
of Stanislav Juznik who has been
here with the Yugoslav consulate
general for IS months, was ar
rested by a house detective in the
J. C. Penney store here late this
afternoon.
In her shopping bag was $2675
worth of merchandise. Including
two sheets, mens sox, towels, a
sweater and five slide fasteners,
Corrassa said.
At city prison Mrs. Juznik in
sisted it was all a "terrible mis
take." Police said she spoke little
English.
Corrassa said diplomatic im
munity does not apply to consular
personnel.
Her husband and Consul Sava
Temcr hurried to the jail, then
left, saying they would be back
with the bail money.
Gov. Lee in
Utah Race as
Independent
SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 13 -Gov.
J. Bracken Lee accepted
tonight a bid to run as an inde
pendent candidate for a third term ;
eves though he said he had been
told that by doing so "I risk my
political future."
"But," he said, "this means
nothing to me if I lose the right
to continue the fight I am now
making to preserve our constitu
tional form of government."
Lee, who often has been at odds
with the Eisenhower administra
tion, was defeated for the Repub
lican gubernatorial nomination in
the .Utah primary last month by
George D. Clyde.
In announcing he would run as
an independent, Lee said, he is
doing so largely because of ac
tions he said were 'taken by Sen.
Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah).
Lee did not name'' Watkins by
name but referred to him as "the
senior senator from Utah."
"I accuse him," Lee said, "of
engineering the defeat of two life
long Republicans in the party's
nominating convention last August
in order to qualify his own hand
picked candidates as my primary
opponent."
Lee's controversy with the Ei
senhower administration has been
primarily on its foreign aid pro
gram. The governor withheld a
portion of his 1955 federal income
tax In a protest of use of federal
funds for foreign aid. But the In

Raft Report Spurs
Search for Fliers
By WATSON SIMS
LONDON, Oct. 13 (AP)-Mysterious SOS signals posed a
riddle tonight for a big air and sea armad,a searching tho east
ern Atlantic for 59 American smicemen who disappeared
Wednesday aboard a military transport plane.
Unsigned signals heard by both ships and atrcratt early
lodav guided mercy planes to an area about 100 miles off the
northwest tip of Spain an area in I
which the C118 Liftmaster could
well have gone down with its crew
of nine Navy men and 50 Air Force
passengers headed home to their
Lincoln, Neb., base from duty in
Britain.
'Mai Sighted'
One of the first planes to arrive
reported sighting two yellow sur
vivor rafts of a type carried by
the missing plane. The pilot at
first said he saw a man aboard
one of the rafts.
This spurred hopes that some of
the group might be found. But as
the rest of the search armada
turned to the area, hope dimmed.
A British surface ship arriving
at the spot where one of the rafts
had been reported found only a
dead, decomposed whale. Twenty
miles away, where the second
sighting had been made, ships
and planes found nothing.
Hampered by Fag
The search at that time was
hampered, however, by fog.
clouds and gathering darkness
and U. S. Air Force officials re
fused to give up hope that one or
more of the four rafts carried by
the Liftmaster might yet be found
Rescue headquarters said the
search would go en through the
night.
Each of the four survival rafts
could aend out SOS signals, but
only if the radio transmitter was
cranked by hand.
