LONDON' iL'PIi - Police dis closed hey have found more of the loot taken in last week's (7.1 million mail train robbery, some of it recovered from two middle- aged sisters among five persons formally charged in the case today. The money thus f a r recovered totaled 674.000, with reports that police were seeking an addition al $1.5 million buried on a farm near the scene of the greatest robbery in history. Two suitcases crammed with money, believed to be about $280,000, were found in a forest near Dorking, south of London. Earlier, police said they had re covered about $394,000 at Bourne mouth, and $5,600 in banknotes elsewhere. As detectives moved swiftly and secretly to track down tlie gang that hijacked the Glasgow London train eight days ago five persons v. ere brought into court at Lir.dlade. four miles from the robbery scene at Ched dington. All five were ordered held for another hearing Aug. 24. When they appeared today in the liny courtroom in the Linslade police station, police said all denied the charges of complicity in the crime. Rut police reported one of tlicl men, nuliam Baal, 47, said at the time of his arrest: "I am silly to get involved in this. I should have known better." However, tlie police said Boal changed his tune to "I deny the charges" when he was formally booked. Boal, a London tuolmaker, and Roger John Cordrey, who were captured in a battle with police in the seaside resort of Bourne mouth Wednesday night, were charged w ith actually taking part in the theft. Boal's wife, Mrs. Renee Boal. 42. her sister, Mrs. Mary Flor ence Pilgrim. 49, and the sister's husband, Alfred Pilgrim, 52. were charged with knowingly receiving part of the stolen money. Police in court said all five persons denied the charges. But they said both Mrs. Boal and Mi s Pilgrim produced part of the stolen money when officers threatened to search their homes. "My husband gave it (the mon ey I to me last week," police quoted Mrs. Boal as telling them. "They did not tell me they (the banknotes! came from the train robbery. 1 hope I am not in volved." Detective Chief Supt. Thomas Butler, lite Scotland Yard man in charge of the investigation, said no more arrests were expected to day. One report said customs offi cers, police and coast guard units were watching for a 12-ton mys tery yacht that vanished into the English Channel fog during the night.

They say tlie dirty deed was done away back in 1959, at Camp David, and that it was done ii order to please President Eisen howcr." That prompts this question: What does Ike think of the test ban treaty that is now before the U.S. Senate for ratification or re jection? In New York yesterday, where he had just arrived on his way back from his visit to the Nor mandy beaches, he told t h e questioning reporters that he has been asked by the Senate For eign Relations Committee to give his views on the pact. He replied that he would do so. "in studied fashion, and in writ ing." after he has had time to study the proposal carefully. He said he would favor tlie nuclear test ban treaty "unless there is some rather hard evidence that America's security would be en dangered." He added: "While I am not inclined to give off-the-cuff opinions, un less there is evidence of which I know nothing some rather hard evidence that the Soviets are way ahead of us, or the security of the United States is in danger then I would certainly be on the favorable side." In other words: On the face of all the evidence (Continued on Page 4 A) T0C Reaches Agreement On New Contract Terms at Linslade, about four milesl from where the gang held up the Glasgow-London mail train eight days ago.

Macmillan s Party Rocked By Election STRATFORD-ON-AVON. Eng land (UPI Prime Minister Har old Macmillan's Conservat i v e party was rocked anew today by the results of an election to till the parliamentary seat vacated by disgraced War Minister John Profumo. The Conservative candid a t e won Thursday's by-election, but the margin was so small the op position claimed a moral vic-i tory." The results appeared to forecast further trouble for Mac millan whose government was nearly toppled last month by the repercussions from the Profumo scandal. Conservative candidate Angus Maude, a 50-year-old journalist, was tlie victor as expected in this Tory stronghold, but his majority was so much less than his party's margin in the last election that the opposition Labor party claimed a "moral victory." Observers had regarded the Stratford-On-Avon by-election the toughest public test for Macmillan since tlie Profumo scandal shocked the nation earlier this summer and nearly toppled his Conservative government. The observers had predicted that a significant drop in tlie Con servative majority compared to Profumo's 14,128 margin in 1939 would indicate serious public con cern over the scandal and would pell grave problems for tlie prime minister and his party. An announcement at noon of the results of Thursday's ballot ing gave Maude 15,846 votes, fol lowed by 12.376 for Laborite An drew Faulds, 40, a bearded Shakespearean actor. The 3.470 majority for Maude was far be low that of former War Minister Profumo in the 1059 general election. Unsettled areas in the industry were at North Bend, Ore.; Ander son, Calif., and Libby, Mont. Some 325 men remained idled at the Menasha Plywood Co. plant at North Bend where local issues! have prevented a settlement. At Anderson, officials' of t h e U.S. Plywood Corp. were hopeful that the strike by the LSW would be settled by the end of the week Local issues also were involved there. ' A meeting was scheduled here today to attempt to reach a settle ment between the LSW and the St. Regis operation at Libby Mont., involving some 900 work ers. The LSW Wednesday reached an agreement on the 30'i cent for mula with St. Regis at the Klicki tat. Wash., operation. The agreement with the TOC reached Thursday is similar to those negotiated earlier with the Big Six and Georgia - Pacific. Federal Mediators George Walker and Lcroy Smith took part in tlie negotiations. Some TOC members reached agreement last week. ! Nearly full production is expect-l ed sometime next week.

GENEVA (UPI) - The United States today declared it is ready to exchange ground observation posts with the Soviet Union to re duce the danger of surprise at tack, providing no strings are attached. Soviet disarmament Semyon Tsarapkin indicated Mos cow is willing to reconsider its previous demands that establish ment of such posts be coupled with a reduction by one-third of troops in central Europe and with creation of a nuclear-free zone in this area. United States negotiator Charles C. Stclle said America "is pre pared to accept an arrangement limited to a system of ground ob servation posts." Stelle said Ihe United States "does not insist" that such an ex change he linked to other previ ous American proposals for ad vance notilicatinn of major mili tary movements, aerial observa tion, radar controls and mobile observation teams. Tsarapkin told UPI Moscow's demand for a tie-in between ob servation posts and troop reduc tions plus a denuclearized zone under consideration. Western officials said "the indications are the tie-in is not so strict as be fore." ' Stelle said that liecause the So viet government "has recently in dicated renewed interest" in ex chancing observation posts we might well explore the possibili ties ot agreement oil this measure." He said the United States al ready has suggested that such posts be placed at "certain prin cipal ports, major railroad sta tions, intersections of key high NEW DELHI. India (UPI) - Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said today that Communist Chi nese (loops were massing alongi Ihe border for a possible new al-j tack on India. Nehru said the strength of the Chinese forces is greater than at Ihe time of the Communist mva inn last October. He added the Chinese were constructing new emplacements, air strips. storage dumps and roads in the region of the military buildup. He told Parliament India must 'intensify its dctensc preparations to resist any further threat to our territorial integrity. Relations between India and Communist China, the two biggest powers of Asia, have been tense negoudioi ismce ast autumn when armiesi of tlie two countries battled along! their common border. The Indian government charged the Peking regime with outright invasion. Alter several weeks of conlron- lation, the fighting stopped and Peking announced a ceasefire on Nov. 21 and a withdrawal of its, forces back from the battle line, starting Dec. 1. While there has been no more fighling. there have been frequent inliltrations across the frontier Neutral attempts to negotiate : settlement of the border dispute have been unsuccessful. Nehru, speaking in a parlia mentary debate today on foreign alfairs, said "the strength of the Chinese forces along our borders today is larger than what it was at the lime of the unprovoked massive attack m October, 1962. Bv WILLIAM THK1S and JOHN A. GOLDSMITH WASHINGTON (UPI) Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, Air Force chief of staff, lined up with other mil itary chiefs today in qualified en dorsement of the limited nuclear test ban treaty. Sen. Barry Goldwater. It-Ariz., said LeMay expressed "very grave reservations" about the agreement during closed testi mony before a Senate prepared ness subcommittee, but told sena tors he felt it should be ratified. LcMav's ofticiat position. Gold- water said, was one of support for the 'position taken by other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff favoring Senate ratification. That position had been previously outlined by Gen. Maxwell D. lay lor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Goldwater told newsmen, how ever, that ho had yet to sense "any enthusiasm or the treaty by military leaders. "1 just don't think the military has their heart in this, he said. In connection with military lead ers views on a lest Dan, becrc tary of State Dean Husk was questioned at a news conference today whether there still were dif ferences within the administration whereby the chiefs were opposed to a complete test ban. This would prohibit underground tests as well as those in the air, space and underwater as con tained in tlie partial treaty. Rusk replied that he felt Presi dent Kennedy had resolved this dispute in favor cf. a policy of striving for an overall ban. But Rusk saw little chance of any im minent agreement by Russia to this because of Soviet resistance to Western insistence for on-site, inspection to assure compliance with a pact lo ban below-ground tests. While LeMay testified before the preparedness subcommitlee, John A. McCone, director of Cen tral Intelligence (CIA) also ap peared for closed testimony be fore three other Senate groups conducting hearings on the treaty. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee heard McCone with senators from the armed services committee and I h e Joint Atom Energy Committee sitting in. Prior lo McCone s testimony, chairmen of all three committees assessed the testimony to date as eflective and persuasive. Their comments suggested that the treaty has gained Senate strength in the first week of hearings on its ratification. In another closed-door hearing Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, Air Force chief of staff, was to give his treaty views to the Senate pre paredness subcommittee. That group has already heard state ments in support for the treaty from Chairman Maxwell D. Tay lor and from Lemay s Army and Navy colleagues on tha Joint Chiefs of Staff. Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D- Ark., of the Semite Foreign Re lations Committee, said Taylor and other administration witness es "have presented a very effec tive case for the treaty" in the hearings to date. Stressing the candor of tlie witnesses, Ful bright said they have testified and answered questions "fully and frankly." ' Chairman Richard B. Russell. D-Ga., of Ihe Armed Services Committee, agreed in a separate interview that "they make a very strong case." Russell, who has not committed himself to support the treaty, said lie was impressed by the fact that Taylor and Sec retary of State Dean Rusk can didly "recognized the military disadvantages" of t h e proposed testban and contended that those disadvantages were outweighed by prospects of reduced world tensions.

The two nations also agreed to contribute satellite information to a world magnetic survey to be made in 1965. The U.S.-Russia agreement or limited cooperation in space was reached at Geneva in June, 1962 The program given final approval today was worked out at Rome last March and in Geneva in May. The experiments with weather satellites will result in the ex-, change of information and cloud pictures by means of full time, four-wire telecommunication link between Washington and Moscow. This link is to be established by early 1964 and probably will be routed from Washington to Moscow by way of New York. London or Paris, Berlin and Poland. Both nations will launch satel lites for use in the space weather observation program. The experiments in satellite communications will be conducted with an tKcho II to be launched by this country in 1964. Echo II will be a shiny 135 foot sphere which will be used as a banking board for radio signals. Since Echo II, lo be launched in a near polar orbit, will not be in line of sight tlie same time between United States and Rus sia, exchanges will be made with the help of Great Britain s Jod- rcll Bank Radioastronomy Ob servatory at Manchester. Communications will be sent1 from the United States to Jodrell by cable or radio and Jodrell will relay them to Russia by the Echo II satellite. These experiments, too, will begin next year. The tiwo nations will each launch a special satellite equipped to measure the earth's magnetic field. This information will sup plement various other ground, sea and air measurements to be un dertaken internationally during the world magnetic survey to be conducted Jn 1965.
