Bandits 'Take Over'
16-Story N. Y. Hotel
NEW YORK (A) Three brazen
young gunmen took over a 16
story hotel Thursday, running its
switchboard, elevator and desk
and leisurely robbing some 25
guests.
The bandits held control of the
297-room Hotel Emerson on W.

75th St. lor about three hours.
Not a shot was iired.
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.
Japanese Oppose
Russian Argument
TOKYO WO The Japanese
foreign office reiterated Thursday
the Russian mission has no reason
for staying in Japan.
A press release from the foreign
office rejected the argument of a
Russian note Wednesday that the
Soviets could remain because Rus
sia did not sign the peace treaty
i which ended the occupation.

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.

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.

Prisoners Riot
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.
(U.R) Marine guards armed with
bayonet-tipped rifles and tear
eas were called into action to
quell a riot of 50 prisoners at the
Camp Pendleton Disciplinary Bar
racks last Tuesday night, it was
reported Friday.
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. .
