Patrolman Jean H. Jack son, 35, a Negro, admitted the thefts shortly before mid night after 10 hours of in tensive questioning by some of the department's top brass. He was charged with grand larceny. Jackson, who won a com mendation in 1955 for dis arming and arresting four robbers, told his questioners he spent almost $1,000 of the pilfered funds on redecorat ing his Harlem apartment, where he lived alone. Some of the money went for sev eral $150 suits and several pair of $28 shoes, he was quoted. Authorities hinted t h a Jackson, a member of the force since June, 1953, also spent a considerable amount on an unidentified girl friend Married and the father of two children, he has been estrang ed from his wife the last 10 years, authorities said. After confessing, Jackson led investigators to a friend'; apartment and a mttal box containing $13,443, represent ing approximately half of the stolen funds. Jackson insist ed, however, that neither the friend nor anyone else knew what the box contained. San Diego (UPI) Ulysses S. Grant was in the Marine Corps today.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Those who have wondered just what as pects of American culture are being export ed and copied around the world these days found some evidence ?in an AP dis patchfrom Munich the other day, which began: a. sobt Smith mat great American folk custom, the cocktail party, is gaining con verts in Europe. In West Ger many the missionary work has been done largely by the American diplomats and mil itary men who landed here after World War II. They had social obligations and fre quently discharged them by inviting German officials and others to massive cocktail parties. The Germans came filled with curiosity and left filled with Manhattans and Martinis. Some liked the idea and tried it on friends." The cocktail party is for Washington diplomatic and political society a strange and wondrous device. It's full of ironies about life here in general. In the public taprooms of the nation's capital, it is for bidden to take a drink while standing erect. It's the law, enacted by Congress, enforced by the police, that all drinking must be conducted while the drinker is seated. The only brass rail in town is in the men's bar of the National Press Club. Lack of Chairs Dictate! In the private cocktail par ties, one is virtually compelled to drink while standing erect. It's alright to sit down, as far as the law is concerned, but custom and lack of chairs dic tate otherwise. The hostess, as a matter of fact, usually in vites so many guests that they can all be accommodated only if they occupy the least amount of space, which re quires erect posture. The party has become a de vice for quick and easy, if ex pensive, repayment of what are known as social obliga tions. One hears it said that hostess in one cocktail party can wipe clean tne siate ox such obligations for a year or more. Although sometimes called reception or some other eu phemism, the party is under stood to be a period when booze will flow freely. It is held frequently during the week, starting at 5:30 or 6 p. m., to provide a refreshing sanctuary for the laboring dip lomat and politician who is between the office and dinner. Sometimes the hors d'oeuvres take on fullmeal proportions, and instead of going on to dinner, the guests stay and stay and wash down cuts of ham and beef with more of what they came for. If one goes to such an ai- fair anticipating some goon conversational moments with the host and hostess, he is in for disappointment. He may find them at the door but hostessing such an affair seems to preclude spending more than a fleeting moment with any but the most special guests. At its best, it is a time of getting acquamted but no more than that with a few new faces. At its worst, it is rubbing elbows, backs and middles with a mass of un friendly freeloaders. Mass Production The big cocktail party on the Washington scale is a mass production device. It is em ployed by those who feel obliged to entertain a .long list, a mass, of personages in this city because of their po sition. When they fall from position, they are scratched from the lists. FREE PARKING SHCIAIISTS IN HOMfWAtfSf Some defend the institution as most useful to busy politi cians and diplomats who, after a cocktail or two, can meet in formally and possibly . see eye-to-eye on issues which for mal dealings would fail to re solve. This accomplishment is like ly to be found in the small dinner parties that are a de light of this city's social life. In this type of affair, the guest can sit down and even- expect to have a substantial conver sation with the hostess. It con veys all the warmth and inti macy that is so foreign, to a bustling, crowded cocktail party. One is led to suspect that, quite the opposite of the small dinner party, the cocktail par ty has thrived on respect for position and privilege, and disrespect or just lack of car ing for people as people. For those who make the cocktail party their principal means of social contact, it has become the instrument of superfi ciality. The Germans, to be sure, will never be the same again. Russ Rocket Thought In Outer Mongolia Washington (UPI) Two American scientists said to day the rocket which ac companied the first Russian sputnik probably came down in outer Mongolia, Russia's backyard, and not in U.S. territory, as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has claim ed. They said their calculations, based on observations of the rocket during its last days, show it "could not have fall en during its last pass over the continental United States, nor m fact for several passes thereafter." The statements were made by Robert Jastrow and Ian Harris, physicists working for the Naval Research Labora tory, in an article in Science Magazine. At a diplomatic reception in Moscow last Dec. 6, Khrushchev said part of the third-stage rocket that launch ed Russia's first earth satel lite "fell on the U.S." Dec. 1, "but they do not want to give it back to us." Foreign Aid Cut By $872 Million Washington (UPI) The House Appropriations Com mittee today chopped $872 million off President Eisen hower's foreign aid program for the 12 months starting July 1. It recommended new mili tary and economic aid appro priations totalling $3,078,092, 500. The President had asked for $3,950,902,500. The slash recommended by the committee exceeded by $597,500,000 that already im posed on the aid request in a compromise authorization bill which was about ready to be sent to the White House. The cut also was $115 mil lion higher than committee members had predicted. Mount Katahdin, Maine, is the first point of land in the United States to catch the rays of rising sun.

"Bing has told me to do my best to get a pardon for Colonel Blair," Larry said Thursday in announcing plans to file a petition of pardon with Gov. Goodwin J. Knight within a week. Melvin Blair, 42, a retired lieutenant colonel with 21 years of Army service, was overpowered by Sheriff's Dep uty Tom Martin when he attempted to take $40,000 from a safe the officer was guarding. Spotless Record The former Army officer, a decorated veteran of Mer rill's Marauders during World War II and Korea,, was con victed and imprisoned at Chino. "He has a spotless service record," Larry said. . "We believe that after strenuous service in two wars this man was not adjusted to civilian life. But we think that he can be, and he should not lose his citizenship rights and his pension." Larry explained he and Bing did not interfere, with the course of justice because they were not asked to appear at Blair's trial. "Now we want to take the only avenue to help Colonel Blair," he said. Authorities said Blair con fessed attempting to rob the safe because he was in finan cial difficulties. Portlander Says Russ Buzzed Him Portland (UPI) A Port land pilot said today that Rus sian jets buzzed his plane too close for comfort" while he was on a flight to Warsaw', Po land this week. The pilot, L. D. Scott, said he was, flying a C-54 owned by General Airways of Port land" from Denmark to War saw to pick up Canadian busi nessmen who had been visit ing relatives. He said that "a half dozen Russian, jets that looked like MIGs intercepted us and made passes across our nose." He said the Russian planes did not fire any shots or try to force the C-54 down but "they gave us some bad moments." Sultan's Troops, Money Missing Aden (UPI) The Sul tan of Lahej has been inform ed that some of his troops and a lot of his money are miss ing.
