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

"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.

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.

DALLAS. Tex. (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

point to remember here is that
many of the students wanted to
take engineering in college but
couldn't because their high schools

the strip, measuring 16 by 200
feet, was taken for highway right-

Prior to the commission's filine

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:
