HERE f STRONGER HEP?E, 9 No Trace Found of Gold Taken in Daring Swiss Job Geneva (U.R) Eight months ago three men pulled off one of the biggest coups in Swiss history, getting away with 250 kilograms of gold bars in day light. Patient probing has identified the trio, but there has been as yet no trace of the gold, Police Chief Charles Knecht said. He attributed delay in arresting the thieves to the hope of locating the loot. "That's because of the insur ance companies," he explained. "The police want the men, but the insurance people want the gold." i The companies have paid off on the loss, which was valued at 1,200,000 Swiss francs (about $280,000). It was consigned to several Swiss banks by shippers in Paris and came aboard an Air France plane. The insurance companies also have" offered a reward of 100, 000 francs (about $23,000) for information leading to the re covery of all or part of the gold. They have had no takers as yet. Guard Demanded In addition, they have en forced precautions hitherto un known in honest Switzerland, where almost daily gold ship ments used to move in and out with no more fuss than crates of vegetables. One shipping - firm manager told United Press that he can't get insurance on gold now un less he guarantees to have at least two armed men on hand at every stage. Just to make sure, we always make it three," he added. The big haul was possible be cause the load of 10 small boxes, each containing 25 one-kilogram ingots a relatively minor ship ment here was left unguarded for a few minutes in 3 p.m. rush hour traffic on the main station square Jan. 19. One of the three thieves, who had spent a week surveying the activities of the Ritschard trans port firm from a nearby eafe and at the airport, simply stepped into the little blue pick- j up truck as soon as the driver entered the nearby doorway and , drove off. The coup was so cleanly and quietly executed that it was weeks before police even located an eyewitness one man who had happened to glance out ol an office window as the truck was driven off but did not real ize for days what he had seen. Escaped to Franco There was a slight delay In getting police on the scene, as the bewildered driver lost sev eral minutes looking for his van- ; ished truck before reporting the j loss. By the time they got to work and alerted all the numer ous customs posts in the long frontier curve around Geneva, the gold was already across the border into France, police be lieve. An hour or so later the Rits chard truck was located, aban doned and empty in a little-used side road about three kilometers from the French frontier. An-j other car that had been follow ing it had disappeared, obviously with the gold aboard. Six weeks later police had a fairly clear picture of the three men directly involved from restaurant employees who had seen them lunching and dining at selected tables overlooking the gold-transfer activities at the busy Geneva station square and at the Cointrin Airport restau rant. Some time later both Swiss and French police became con vinced that they knew who the three were, but they aren't ready to reveal the names yet. Most of the investigative ac tivity is now centered in France, which was both the origin and destination of tie stolen gold. But trails have been followed in a dozen other countries. The international police have been called in every time gold turned up in a smuggler's hands and local police have traced every possible connection with other Thursday, November 22, 1938 By Jimmy Hatlo famous and still unsolved gold thefts like that in September, 1954 from a KLM plane at a London airport. TV Banking Answer To Parking Problem Los Angeles (U.R) Banking by television? Don't raise your eyebrows. It can be done. John Mosler, executive vice president of the 108-year-old Mosler Safe Company of Hamil ton, Ohio, has created remote TV drive-in banking, as an im portant answer to the parking problem. A customer in a car drives up to a small curbside unit 500 feet or even several miles from his branch. Through the use of a two-way closed-circuit TV he and the bank teller are per mitted to talk to each other. The customer makes his deposit in a pneumatic tube that goes un derground into the bank. This "TV Snorkel," as it is known, looks like a king-sized TV set. It is 34 inches wide. It contains a TV camera, a 17-inch monitor and is protected from vandals by being placed behind bulletproof glass. There are no protruding objects to mar its smooth surfaces. The teller controls the entire operation. When the customer places his deposit in the pneu matic c a t r i e r it is sucked through the tube to the teller at 31 feet per second. Mosler predicted that even tually the public will be able to conduct all its banking at the nearest corner, swiftly and in person through the use of his "TV Snorkel." He pointed out that banks will be able to reach even to out-of-the-way places with TV banking without the heavy ex pense of opening a branch.

(U.R) Only one person has died in South Dakota's electric chair since 1939, the year capital pun ishment was put back on the state's law books. The lone victim was George Sidney Sitts, who had killed a special state agent. Capital punishment from 1877 to 1915 was done by hanging. The first person to be hanged was Jack (Crooked Nose) Mc Call, who shot Wild Bill Hickok in the back of the head in 1876. The death penalty was repeal ed in 1915. Greeks Had Word For Peace of Mind Many Years Ago Chicago (U.R) Thousands of years ago the Greeks had a word for what many Americans are striving today. They called it "ataraktos," which in our lingo means "peace of mind" or "detached serenity." Mpmhpn of the American Medical association who attend ed the annual convention here in June had a taste of this 20th rontiirv raritv when they visit ed "Ataraxia." Derived from the Greek, this was the name given to a specially designed room, the components of which were expertly coordinated to help the 15,000 doctors escape the hustle and bustle of their business and rest in "detached serenity." The room, located at Chica go's Navy Pier where the con vention was held, was designed uiith the theorv that color, art, furniture, lighting and a sooth ing musical background an make for peace of mind. The physicians and other visi tors who entered the room also were greeted with the latest in air-conditioned and sound-proofed luxury. Receptionists greeted thom at the doorway to "Atar axia" and offered male guests cigars and the women cigarettes. They were then escorted to re clining chairs where they view ed paintings by contemporary Chicago artists and listened to music emanating from the latest hi-fidelity equipment. Select decorating committees pooled their knowledge to create restful color scheme, and furnishings representing imports from all over the world were every where. Most of the medical conven tioneers commented that the ef forts of "Ataraxia" had been quite successful. Loose Black Spider Blamed for Accident Sioux Falls, S.D. (U.R) Robert C. Portice, Sioux Falls, was fined for reckless driving al though he contended a black widow spider which got lost in his car caused the accident. - Portice said he had found the spider at his place of employ ment and was taking it to a scien tist when he noticed it was miss ing from a bottle. His car ran into a parked car. Judge Walter Conway fined Portice $100 but suspended $85 when Portice agreed to pay the damages to the car. BOB! Phone 2-4922 Premature Could Bring Down London U.R) Conserva tive members of Parliament said today a "premature" withdrawal of British troops from Port Said could spark a rebellion in Parlia ment which could bring down Sir Anthony Eden's government. A member of the "Suez Rebel" group told the United Press that "about 50" Conservative mem bers had made known their in tentions, in writing, to refuse party directives to support Eden in any parliamentary vote on the issue. . He said the reports of the Brit ish decision to withdraw one battalion from Port Said already had roused the "rebels" to ac tion and had increased their numerical strength. Eden Discusses Situation "The reports that there are only 35 Conservative members opposed to the British withdraw al is an underestimate," the source said. "There are at least 50 members who have written in saying they will refuse the whips if there is a premature withdrawal from the canal zone." Eden, on the eve of his de parture for a three weeks holi day in Jamaica, was reported discussing the explosive political situation with his senior min isters. The government whips were said to be already in action in an effort to avoid a major revolt in the Conservative ranks. Deputy Premier R. A. Butler and Chancellor of the Exchequer Harold MacMillan are scheduled to address the "1922 committee" a Conservative back benchers organization, tonight. rive USE OUR LAYAWAY PLAN!

Critical Day "Today is the most critical day the government has faced since it has held office," the source said. "Either the cabinet or the rebels must surrender within the next 24 hours if a crisis is to be averted." The Conservative Daily Ex press, one of the government's staunchest supporters, took note of the growing rebellion and pre dicted that it could "bring the government down." At least 35 of Eden's support ers told the government they would withhold their support if the United Nations demands are accepted. Some estimates put the number of rebels as high as 50. The ultimatum came as For eign Minister Selwynn Lloyd told the U.N. General Assembly Britain would withdraw one bat talion of troops from Port Said as evidence of good faith. Eden's residence already an nounced he would leave Friday for Jamaica for an "essential" vacation because of the severe strain under which he has been recently. He and Lady Eden ex pect torspend about three weeks there. The subject of troop with drawal was the main topic at today's caBinet meeting presided over ,by Butler, leader in the House of Commons. Phased Withdrawal The cabinet was expected to agree to a "phased withdrawal" of British and French troops, but the "Suez Rebels" who have long demanded a firm policy against Egypt, served notice this would not satisfy them. : FOR THRIFTY SHOPPERS Dump Truck Heavy duty scale model, unloads automatically.
