Scotland Yard cracks
mail train
at
case,
least five arrested
Some money
reportedly
is recovered
LONDON (UPI) - Scotland
Yard today cracked the $7.1 mil
lion mail train robbery case
one week to the day after it oc
curred. The police arrested Uiree men
and two women and it was unof
ficially reported that about $280,
000 of the . loot was re
covered. Unconfirmed reports
said eight other persons were
taken into custody. None were
Identified.
An official police announcement
said two of the men were seized
''for complicity in the mail rob
bery." They were arrested at Bourne
mouth, a seaside resort, less
than 100 miles from the place in
Buckinghamshire where a gang
of bandits hi-jacked a royal mail
train last Thursday and made off
with 120 bags containing 2',4 tons
of worn, but valid, pound notes.
Both men, according to the po
tlce. put up a struggle and had
to be subdued by arresting of
ficers. About 100,000 pounds
($280,000) was reportedly found
in two cars they had.
The other suspects a man and
two women were arrested in
raids on London homes by Scot
land Yard's "flying squad" of
detectives, but the police made no
formal announcement about them.
It was reported that about 500
pounds ($1,400) was recovered in
those raids.
A London newspaper (Evening
Standard) reported that another
man was arrested in Surrey and
that he was carrying 200.000
pounds ($560,000) of the record
loot. It said that the ruspect was
taken into custody at a house not
farm from the East Molesey police
station.
The money found in the pos
session of the two men arrested at
Bournemouth was said to be in
old notes, similar to the bills
which British banks had placed
on the train so that they could
be taken to London, de
stroyed, and replaced by new
currency.
A police source in the resort
city said the arrests followed a
tip from an unidentified woman
who became suspicious when the
men asked for rooms at, her
boarding house.
Biggest Break
The arrests appeared to be the
biggest break so far in police at
tempts to solve the daring rob
bery a week ago of the Glasgow
London mail train near Chedding
ton. The arrests followed the dis
covery Tuesday of the gang's
abandoned hideout a 200-year-old
farm near the village of Oak
ley in Buckinghamshire. Empty
mail sacks and half-eaten meals
indicated the gang had fled the
farm m a hurry.
Police at Bournemouth said the
two men were being questioned
by Det. Supt. Malcolm Fewtrell,
head of the Buckinghamshire
Criminal Investigation Division,
and Det. Supt. Gerald McArthur
of Scotland Yard.
Bournemouth is a popular re
sort 107 miles southwest of Lon
don. It is about 92 miles south of
the robbery scene.
Search Widespread
As the two men were being
questioned, police scoured the
country for additional clues to
the whereabouts of the gang and
the record cash loot.
New raids were carried out in
the London area Wednesday
night, and a large dossier of
clues taken from the farmhouse
near Oakley was being studied
minutely.
A senior Scotland Yard officer
said Wednesday night police
No developments

State Police say
The Investigation into the death
of Philip G. Reinhardt, 72, whose
body was found in the North Unit
canal northwest of Smith Rock,
continued today, but, Oregon
State Police reported, there are
no developments.
Earlier, officers said It appear
ed the well-to-do Powell Butte
rancher had been killed by a blow
on the head before his body
reached the canal, possibly at
some point west of Powell Butte.
Reinhardt left his home in the
moonlight on Monday, August 5.
Ten days later, the body of the
missing man was found entang
led in a fence across the main
North Unit Canal northeast of
Trail Crossing.
Quarterly visit
of Bloodmobile
due next week
The Red Cross Bloodmobile will
make its quarterly visit to Cen
tral Oregon next week. It will be
in Bend Wednesday, August 21,
at the Elks Temple, and in Red
mond Thursday, August 22, at
Westminster Hall. The Redmond
visit is a change from the usual
Tuesday.
Quotas will be the usual 200
pints for Bend and 100 pints for
Redmond. Hours will be from 1:15
to 5:45 p.m. Wednesday in Bend,
and from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday

Youlou quits
in face of
howling mob
BRAZZAVILLE, Congo (UPI)-
President Fulbert Youlou re
signed today in tiie face of a
howling mob which besieged his
; palace and screamed or his
ouster.
A Congolese army announce
ment said the army seized power
in this former French colony fol
lowing Youlou's resignation.
The unfrocked former Roman
Catholic priest who still calls him
self "abbe," quit after three days
of demonstrations and violence in
which at least five persons were
reported killed.
The army said the 46-ycar-old
Youlou signed his resignation at
1 p.m. and said it would remain
in power until a new cabinet is
formed.
(Authoritative sources in Wash
ington said the Congolese army
totals 700 men and the gendar
merie 500.)
The resignation came as an es
timated 10,000 persons chanted
demands outside the heavily
guarded palace that Youlou quit.
A spokesman for the French
forces here said Youlou's resig
nation has terminated the mili
tary support given him by mem
bers of the 2,000-man French
army garrison at the start of the
anti-government riots Tuesday.
The rioting was started when
an estimated 3,000 trade union
members marched on the city
jail in an attempt to free two of
their leaders.
They burned and looted the jail,
freed all the prsoners, burned
! down the television station and
looted private homes of several
government ministers.
When the demonstrations con-
drawing in Bend will be for a 33- tinned Wednesday, Youlou fired
year-old woman; that at Redmond
for a 47-year-old man.
The blood will be flown to Port
land by the Civil Air Patrol both
days.
Donors for these special draw
ings will be called by phone from
a list of donors who have the
same type blood as the patient to
be operated on, and from those
who, because they have not do
nated for more than a year, are
not classed as regular donors.
Use of regular donors, it was
pointed out, would jeopardize the
success of the regular drawings.
"If only one pint is missing, the
operation cannot take place," said
Mrs. Clare T. Taylor, executive
secretary of the Deschutes county
Red Cross chapter.

SALEM (UPI) J. Francyl
Howard claimed today that Gov.
Mark Hatfield had changed his
mind and now favored referral of
Uie 1963 legislature's $60 million
tax increase package.
Hatfield termed the claim To
tally ridiculous and utterly mis
leading.
Howard, editor of weekly news
papers in Corvallis and Albany, is
spearheading the drive to gain 23,
185 signatures to refer the tax
package to a special election Oct,

The lead editorial of today's
Benton County Herald in Corval
lis, one of Howard's publications,
is titled "Governir Hatfield now
for referral."
Opposition Noted
Howard noted that earlier Hat
field had urged voters not to sign
referral petitions.
The governor stated that the

WASHINGTON UPI) Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor assured the
Senate today the Joint Chiefs of
Staff endorsed the nuclear test
ban treaty without any admini
stration "arm-twisting" and were
kept "constantly abreast" of its
development.
In public testimony before go
ing into an afternoon closed ses
sion with senators considering the
pact, the chairman of the joint
chiefs said:
The area of "high-yield" su
per nuclear weapons in which
Russia leads "has very little if
any military significance." The
joint chiefs feel use of more
smaller bombs on an enemy tar
get is better than dropping one
50 to 100 megaton weapon.
He is confident President
Kennedy will carry out "safe
guards" to the test pact by main
taining full lab and test facilities
and pushing underground testing
permitted in the treaty.
Past nuclear testing has
"tended to close the gap" and
let Russia gain on the United
States in nuclear weapons. He
said that if Russia had not been
able to test she "never would
have caught up" with this coun
try. He said the joint chiefs had
opposed a comprehensive test ban
because of fear the Soviets could
cheat and test underground while
the United States would not.
There are military "advan
tages" in the limited treaty, as
well as disadvantages. Reduction
of tensions that will improve the
chances of peace is a "military
advantage." he said, because
peace is the "primary hope" of
the military.
It is "conceivable" that Com.
munist China wants to expand in
to Soviet Asia and that Russia in
signing the limited treaty wanted
to take "some small step" to deal
with the China problem.
Taylor assured the Foreign Re
lations, Armed Services, Joint
Atomic Committee members con
sidering the treaty that the joint
chiefs suffered no "unusual pres
sures" from the administration in
endorsing the pact.
And he said he was kept fully
informed about negotiations on
the treaty and instructions given
Avorell Harnman, chief negotia
tor in Moscow, and passed this
along to the other military lead
ers.
Senators questioned Taylor at
length on the likelihood of the
United States maintaining all the
facilities for test readiness under
I the treaty.

Letter Cited
We have in our newspaper of
fice a signed letter from our gov-
ernor...to a local Southern Pacifiu
Railroad man, in which he says,
quote:
"Oregon's constitution clear
ly affords the people Uie oppor
tunity to vote on any program of
expenditures that would require an
increase in taxes. It has been my
recommendation that, should .ad
ditional taxes bo required, the in
creases should be tied to tax re
form and the issues referred for
decision by (lie people."
Howard's editorial conclud
ed; "Thank you Governor Hat
field." The governor told United Press
International "I recommend
ed that an election be held on any
tax increase while the legislature
was in session. The Democrats
wouldn't let it happen.
There is no question the peo
ple have a right to vote. Earlier
this year, and in my budget mes
sage I said the legislature could
avoid problems by reaching an
early decision on taxes and hiv
ing an election while the legisla
ture was in session."
Hatfield said Howard's editorial
was utterly misleading, and
termed the suggestion that he had
changed his mind as "totally
ridiculous.
Hatfield today issued a state
ment reiterating his opposition to
refcral of the 1963 legislature's $60
million revenue increase package.
The statement declared:
"There are many people in Ore
gon who doubt that the tax law
written by the 1963 legislature
was the best of all possible bills.
share that view. At the same
time, it seems unthinkable that we
should flirt with fiscal chaos by

which the legislature could agree.
'Those who are already con
cerned about the adequacy f

are already concerned about the
weight of the property tax burden

will endanger us on both counts.
