Ford Engineers Working
On New Line Of Medium
Price Cars In Near Future
DETROIT (UP) The safest bets
about the new line ol cars Ford
Motor Company now Is readying
for market are that the cars won't
be called Edsels and that no one
Is sure yet just what they'll look
like.
Ever since it became an open
secret last April that Ford was
planning a new line of medium
priced cars, reports have been
stirring that the three Ford broth
ersHenry n, William Clay and
Benson planned to call the line
the "Edsels' In honor of their late
father.
The idea of naming the line Ed
sel actually did come up. But It

creasing flight of refugees, Aus
trian police reported Saturday.
mis ooraej, like Austria's Iron
tier with Hungary, once was close'
ly supervised by the Russians
when they were here as occupa-
tion troops. Since the Russian's
departure the Hungarians have
mined and wired their border, but
the flow of refugees Increases.
The Czechs are clearing their
border to make control easier-
leveling whole villages with bull'
dozers, explosives, fire. Most of
the communities being wiped out
were formerly inhabited by Sude
ten Germans. .
Austrian border police reported
Czechoslovak soldiers man the
bulldozers knocking down frontier
houses. They said the village of
Kainrathsschlag was wiped out by
Czech demolition squads using ex
plosives. The wreckage then was
burned. The resulting fire was so
big that an alarmed Austrian vol
unteer fire brigade rushed to the
border, fearing a catastrophe, but
was turned back by Czech soldiers.

New Portland ;
Air Base Eyed
WASHINGTON Wl A survey
to determine the feasibility of con
struction of' a new air base in the
Portland, Ore., area for Air De
fense Command and Naval Re
serve training operations will be
gin Monday, the Pentagon said
Friday.
The House Armed Services Com
mittee last spring suggested that
the possibility of a new field in
the Portland area be explored be
cause of congestion at Portland
International Airport.
The Air Force reserve and the
Air National Guard would continue
operations out of Portland Inter
national. The Air Force would ad
minister any new field constructed.
Rep. Pelly (R-Wash) requested
the Pentagon to give serious con
sideration to location of any new
base at the Kitsap County airfield
near Bremerton, Wash.
was discarded quickly. When
name finally is picked, it Is a safe
bet the public soon will know. The
special products division will be
renamed after the new line of cars
before they are produced to fa
miliarize the public with the name.
Ford's announcement Thursday
that it planned to spend $250 mil
lion dollars In the next few years
to Introduce the new line of cars
stirred new interest in the line
But the car itself probably won't
be in production and on the mar
let for some time.
By the time an organization can
be formed, the car planned, plants
built to produce the cars and
other details handled it certainly
will not be before the fall of 1957
or could be 1958 or 1959 before
the new car will be introduced.
The car will fit Into the medium
price range. But exactly where In
the range Ford isn't saying. With
tne wide variance oi costs in au
ferent models of a line of cars.
it is difficult now to fit medium
priced cars into any definite step
of the price ladder.
The car is designed to compete
for some potential sales it can't
reach with Us present lines. Gen
eral Motors for example has three
lines in the medium field Pon
tlac, Oldsmobile and Buick which
compete closely with each other
and on the fringes of tne nigner-
priced Chevrolets and lower-priced
models f the Cadillac;
Just to ready the cars for mar
ket will cost a fortune Ford fig
ures 250 million dollars. It Is a
big gamble, that a product that
hasn't been even put together yet
will be bought by people throe and
four years from now. But the peo
ple at Ford are pretty certain
there is a market for the car and
that the gamble is a good one.
Bank Thief
Nabs $3000
PORTLAND 11 A holdup man,
apparently disguised with heavy
face makeup and a false mustache,
made off with an. estimated $3,000
from the Multnomah Bank in
Southwest Portland Friday after
noon. He shouted orders In what tellers
assumed to be a French accent.
They said they didn't understand
much of what he shouted, but they
understood the black pistol he
waved, and shoved currency at
htm.
Cashier E. R. Miles said the
man raced out of the bank and
jumped into a waiting car. He and
other witnesses on the busy street
could not tell whether anyone was
waiting in the car for him. He
sped off west.
Police were called at once, but
It was some time before they got
there. They had gone to the Bar
bur Blvd. branch of the bank, c
mile away, before they learned
where the holdup had taken place

Pinbal I Case
Dismissed
SANTA CRUZ (UP) Conspiracy
charges against pinball distributor
Sam Miano were dismissed yes
terday after he turned state's
evidence and told how be .paid
$4000 "protection" money to his
co-defendant. Raymond Jehl.
Miano, speaking in broken Ens
lish and with a flourish of ges
tures, said Jehl had first asked
for a $10-a- machine payoff for
protection but then settled for $5-
a-macnine and Miano turned over
$4000. ,
Three days after the payoff,
Miano said, some of his machines
were confiscated on orders of Dis
trict Attorney Charles L. Moore
jr.
Miano also told his version of
an offer of $1500 to Moore as a
belated campaign contribution.
"He appeared to be a fine young
man," Miano said of Moore. "I
told him that I had never contri
buted to his campaign and he told
me that he had heavy expense's
from the campaign.
"I said that I was successful
and that I liked to see a boy get
ahead," the pinball operator testi
fied. "He said he didn't expect
anything. I told him this was not
bribery and that it would be a
campaign contribution."
Miano said1 he gave Moore
$1500 and told him "I don't want
any special favors."
The next day, Miano said, the
money was returned to him
through Jehl, one-time "vice ad
viser" to Moore.
Jehl's trial is a prelude to the
Jan. 19 trial of Moore on a non
criminal abuse of office charge
which stems partly out of his fail
ure to prosecute Miano after he
offered the $1500.
Judge James Atteridge recessed
the trial until Monday when as
sistant attorney general Clarence
Linn is expected to end the state's
case with testimony from one or
two minor witnesses.

Training Set
NEW YORK im Something
new In the way of a scientific
training program is being launch
ed. Its goal Is to produce men
end women scientific leaders with
knowledge "in many related fields
of science." They will be teachers
and researchers.
It is a project of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research,
which for half a century has been
In the forefront of the battle to
conquer disease.
An institute official said the plan
was begun to help meet a critical
need for more scientists, particu
larly biologists, who are "needed
to protect life against the hazards
of man-made forces and to shape
our man-made environment for the
better use of man."
Ten brilliant university gradu
Btes of 1955 already have been
selected as the first class in the
program, which will be operated
as a graduate school of the insti
tute. Others will be added at Inter
vals until the full complement of
60 to 75 is reached. They will study
both at the Institute and abroad.
Their studies will lead to degrees
of doctor of philosophy or doctor
of medical sciences.

FBI Claims Brink's Case
Solved Yith Confession
Of One; Trial To Be Set
BOSTON WV Eleven ex-convicts
have been Indicted two in absen
tia and one posthumously for
participation in the $1,319,000
Brink's robbery, the Jan. 17, 1950
"Theft of the Century."
A Suffolk County grand jury re
turned the indictments 464 in all
after listening to Joseph (Specs)
O'Keefe, 47, describe yesterday
the fantastic planning that went
Into the largest cash haul in the
nation's criminal history.
The FBI listed the case as
"solved" Thursday with the arrest
of six of the group. Two already
were In Jail for other crimes, an
other died of natural causes a year
ago and two more were missed in
the swift roundup.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
asked public aid in apprehending
the two suspects still at large
James Ignatius Faherty, 44, of
Boston and Thomas Francis Rich
ardson, 48, of Weymouth.
The story told by O'Keefe, him
self an oft named suspect In the
Brink's robbery, resulted in the
Indictments containing 148 counts
and 10 alleged offenses against:
Stanley A. Ousciora, 36, now in
a Pittsburgh jail; Joseph 8. Ban
field, 45, now dead; Anthony Pino,
48; Michael V. Qeagan, 47; Vincent
J. Costa, 41: Joseph F. McOinnis.
52; Adolph Maffie, 44; Henry
Baker, 49; Richardson: Faherty;
and O'Keefe himself, who was
brought from a Springfield jail to
testify.
O Keefe told this startling story
of the fabulous theft:
The robbery had been planned
for a year and a half and during
that time, the robbers made fre
quent visits to the Brink's plant at
night to remove locks from doon,
have keys made for them and re
turn them without the single night
watchman becoming suspicious.
The robbers didn't need help
from the inside no Brink's em
ploye was on the job because the
group had keys to "every Jock la
the joint,"
O'Keefe said he decided to talk
because he didn't get his share el
the loot. But, Boston newspapera
hinted there were other reasons
why he decided to tell all to the
authorities.
The newpaperi quoted unidenti
fied sources as saying O'Keefe
feared for his life at the hands
of his underworld friends after he
was released from Hampden Coun
ty Jail in Springfield, where he
was due for freedom next month
after serving time on an old gun
carrying charge.
O'Keefe was the target of at
least one attempt on his life. In
June, 19S4, a machine gun was
turned on him In a Dorchester
housing project. Police believe the
gun was wielded by Elmer (Trig
ger) Burke, a New York killer-for-hlre,
now under death sentence
for murder In New York.
Meanwhile, those Indicted and
captured were held In high ball
$120,000 for McOinnis; 110,000 tor
the othersas Suffolk County Diet.
Atty. Oarrett H. Byrne said he
plans to arraign them next week
and bring them to trial within a
couple of months. -
