A gunman on the switchboard carefully followed the schedule to wake up guests who'd left calls. Many of them came down from their rooms in time to .get caught in the holdup in the lobby. VICTIMS WERE forced to lie on i the floor. Men guests were made to remove their trousers, appar ently to discourage any break for freedom. , The trio got more than $500 ; in cash and $2,500 in jewels from Iguests, plus $102 from the hotel's ; cash register. They also smashed open a cigarette machine and i doled out smokes to their vic tims. One of the robbery victims thought the men seemed "hopped up" on dope. They kept their hats pulled low on their foreheads. They appeared in their 20's. THE GUNMEN walked into the Emerson's lobby about 4 a. m. (EST). They quickly made prison ers of the night clerk Martin Henry, 55, and elevator operator Hilliard Jackson, 56. One gunman took over the ele vator, a second the switchboard and a third the desk. As guests arrived or left, they were casually relieved of their valuables and made to He on the lobby floor. "THIS I& A good thing," re marked one of the bandits. "We ought to do it more often." Finally, the hotel switchboard became clogged with calls and guests began yammering about the elevator service. The bandit at the switchboard fanned himself in near exhaustion. "Maybe it's time to go," sug gested one of the men. So the three of them left.

Reds Still Hold Two Newsmen One Kidnaped German Released BERLIN UP) The Russians Friday freed one German they had kidnapped from West Berlin, but they defied a British protest by continuing to hold two West Ber lin newspaper men seized at the same time. A young West Berlin woman also was arrested by Communist police Thursday night and was still In their custody. She was the first victim of a new Communist decree whi(?h extended to Berlin's boundaries the same severe meas ures which have sealed the Last West German frontier. This decree, issued Thursday night, was the latest move in the Communist campaign to squeeze surrounded West Berlin, the Allies' last stronghold behind the Iron Curtain. It was timed neatly to offset, in the worried minds of West Berliners, two measures taken by the West to boost Berlin's morale. Only a few hours before the decree, the Allied High Commis sion announced its determination to counter any new attacks by Russia on Berlin, and joined with West Germany in providing eco nomic aid for this city's struggling industries. ir- -1 mm- M 5 f-t Arms for Chiang ing Slowly FREE-S18 Reusable Unit With this G.E. Airliner Range! G-E AUTOMATIC SPD COOKING" WASHINGTON UP) Adm. Arthur W. Radford, Pacific fleet commander, said Friday deliveries of military aid equipment to the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa have been "disappointingly slow." He told reporters that was one of the reasons why he is in Wash ington for a series of conferences with military officials here. To news conference questions, Radford said he assumed deliver ies of arms to the forces of Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek were slow because of '1' the necessity for setting world wide priorities under the general military aid program and (2) the fact that pro duction deliveries are slower than originally expected. . Did he think there was too much preference given European re quirements? "From where I sit, I think the priorities could be readjusted." Radford replied. However, Radford said: "I'm not too pessimistic; we're making headway." The admiral recently went to Formosa to inspect the military situation there. He told reporters tnat the Chinese Nationalists have "the manpower and they have ex cellent potentiality." He added they are fairly well fixed on small arms but need artillery, transpor tation, communications and other equipment. He said their amphib ious force was "very small." He was asked if he thought Chiang's forces might attack the Chinese Communist mainland. He replied that "no, I don't think there is a chance."

Ten Crewmen Feared Dead In B-29 Crash HONOLULU (JP) Ten crew. men of a ditched B-29 Superfort ress Friday were reported missing in snark-infested waters 175 miles west of Kwajalein. The pilot of the 11-man crew, an Air Force captain, was rescued by a Navy patrol craft four hours after the plane went down. He had a broken leg. His name was withheld. The rescued man said the B-29 broke up quickly when it hit the water. He said he believed the others aboard were lost. One sank beneath a wave before he could reach him, the pilot said. Navy patrol boats and a crash boat from Kwajalein picked up pieces of the crashed plane. The Hawaiian Sea Frontier said two of the bomber's four engines apparently failed shortly after take-off from Kwajalein for Guam. The pilot had radioed 16 min utes before the crash that he had feathered two engines and was losing power in a third. His last message said he was ditching landing on the ocean surface.

Spokesman for the base com mander, Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Smith confirmed that armed guards p'ut down a "demonstra tion" by prisoners in the camp stockade, but added that "no one was seriously injured." It was reported that the prison ers used rocks and fists in the hour-long fight, which started when the prisoners were denied smoking privileges as a disciplin ary measure. Reports from nearby Oceanside said the guards broke up the bat tle with bayonets and tear gas, but base officials did not confirm them. . SKEIE'S repair, design and manufacture Jewelry.
