HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINfc Robbers Make Big Score . MONTREAL Wl Police today followed a "number of promising . leads" in the weekend theft of .11,800.000 in negotiable bonds from a downtown trust company. Using explosives and acetylene .torches, the burglars took an esti mated 12 hours to bore holes in two steel and concrete vaults of La Societe Nationale de Difucie, a trust company, and Us banking subsidiary. La Caissel Nationale Economic "It' was a neatt efficient opera- tion, said one police official. "It was like trying to blast their way into an airraid shelter. Some peo ple in the neighborhood said tbey -heard explosions Saturday night and Sunday morning. We heard a lot of stories. ... We have a lot of checking to do." Henri Ouimet, general manager of the trust company, disclosed the amount stolen was consider . ably more than had first been esti mated. , Ouimet said the robbers did not penetrate to a large steel cabinet within the ' vault containing an amount "as large cr larger than the one they took." They also left scattered about more than $500,000 worth of secu rities . negotiable . only by their owners. The stolen securities bearer bonds were serial numbers but no name registered with the issuing source are negotiable but not that easy to cash." "You couldn't just walk into a bank and come out with the mon ey in five minutes," Ouimet said.

Needy High Schools Aided By Texas Aircraft Firm Marine Makes Good On Vow CHERRY POINT. N. C. itV- Whe then Secretary of Navy Charles Thomas reduced Matthew C. McKeon's general court-martial sentence for leading the Par- ris Island. S. C, "death march," the Marine ex -drill instructor vowed: I'll try to be the very best pri vate in the Marine Corps." That was in late 1956, several months after the April 8 nipht march of Recruit Platoon 71 into a tidal stream where six recruits drowned. Pfc. McKeon appears on the way toward realizing his vow. He has been named the January "Marine of the Month" by the All Weather Fighter Squadron 114 here, of which he is a member. McKeon's selection also gave prophetic meaning to Thomas' ex planation that he reduced the sen tence to give McKeon an oppor tunity to "build for himself a use ful and honorable career ... I hope and believe that he will avail himself of tins opportunity." The Marine' of the Month was chosen by vote of squadron mem bers from among nominees select ed for proficiency, bearing, dis position and conduct, McKeon ex plained. "I really appreciate the squad ron's action," said the career Ma rine from Worcester, Mass. "I guess I'll stay in the Corps." he said, and the word had a fa miliar ring. He had stood in the courtroom after his conviction and said. "I'll stay in the Marines if theyll have me." The court - martial sentenced McKeon to reduction from staff sergeant to private. a bad con duct discharge, a $270 fine and nine .months in prison. Thomas eliminated the discharge and the fine, cut the prison term to three months and upheld the reduction in rank. At present, he is an operations clerk at Cherry Point Marine Air Station.

(UP-A Texas aircraft firm has started a lend- lease program of its own for needy high schools. The company. Temco Aircraft Corp., has loaned out its top en gineers free of charge to four high schools around Dallas that could not afford physics teachers before. All the schools now have phy sics classes. This means students who finish the courses can study engineering and other scientuic fields in college, iney coma not do this without the high school physics course. "The plan is getting students interested in science right away and preparing seniors tor college this fall," said Robert McCulloch. president of Temco. He feels that plans to increase the number of' U. S. scientists are fine, but won't really help until the 1960s. "In the meantime," he added, "we need some program for im mediate results. If each industry helps out in its area with a plan such as ours, we can overcome the shortage of engineers and other scientific personnel much sooner." McCulloch sends his "thinking" engineers those reserved for top level problems and who don't have' to punch time clocks out into high schools five hours a week to teach physics. High schools in Duncanville, Seagoville, Cedar Hill and Desoto, all towns around Dallas, set up physics courses last fall with engineer-instructors.

There are -18 students in his class, including four who are "A" students and who. Watts thinks, may make brilliant scientists. The point to remember here is that many of the students wanted to take engineering in college but couldn't because their high schools didn't teach physics until Temco came to the rescue.

I hope this visit will strengthen friendship between Nippon and In donesia," Sukarno told newsmen as he got off his chartered plane followed by 19 civilian and mili tary aides.

Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fuji yama and Emperor Hirohito's grand chamberlain wero on hand to greet the Indonesian leader at the last stop of his swing through inaia, tgypt, Jugoslavia. Syria, Pakistan, Burma and Thailand. Some foreign diplomats also were present, but their dean was absent. He is the Dutch ambassa dor, whose government is the tar get of a bitter Indonesian cam paign to wrest control of West New Guinea from the Nether lands. Sukarno's trip officially is being made to recuperate from the strain of the recent turbulent events in Indonesia, but so far he has spent most of his time trying to drum up support for the New Guinea campaign. at the time the Highway Commis sion Hied its condemnation suit Nov. 28. 1956. The judge said that fair cash market value would be that of the land as of Oct. 1, 1946. when the strip, measuring 16 by 200 feet, was taken for highway right- of-way. Prior to the commission's filine of tho suit, the Slumbos, headed by Robert Gordon Stumbo, Azalea logger, had subdivided the strip into two-inch squares which were offered for sale at $2 a lot. About 290 of Uie lots were sold before the sales were halted by the con demnation suit. It was on the basis of the value of the land for novelty sale that the Stumbos hoped to establish their claim that the commission owed them the whopping sum for their property. Judge Wimbcrly ruled the value: would be that of the time of tak ing and not of the start of con demnation and would not allow Robert Stumbo, the only defense! witness, to testify about any ac-i tion ho had taken after discover-! ing the commission had taken over the strip of land without pay ing for it. This left out of the record con- siderable action. The Stumbos, i after they made their discovery: Blockaded Highway 99 for a short time and had traffic piled' they were considering appealing the verdict which allowed them 6 per cent interest since Oct. 1, 1946, in addition to the $125 price for the land.
