Food Train in Reich.
Looted by Russians
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Jan. 10. - Bandits
dressed in Russian uniforms held
up the Bremen-Berlin train last
night in the Russian occupation zone
Of Brandenburg and looted Is freight
cars of large stocks of provisions,
the American Military Government
said today.
The inter-zone train is operated
by German crews. At Helmstedt,
on the border of the British and
Russian zones, it takes on American
guards and then travels the rest of
the way into Berlin through the
Soviet zone, under Russian jurisdic-
ton. The robbery occurred at the
small station of Biederitz.
The American Military Govern
ment said only three American
guards were on the run because of
a manpower shortage.
The guards reported to military
government officials that the armed
robbers were lying in wait for the
train as it slowed down for
Biederitz. They jumped on the
train, opened cars and unloaded
cargoes onto horse-drawn wagons,
the guards said. The guards opened
fire and the bandits fired back.
The guards said they believed one
of the gang was wounded.
The announcement said the rob-
bers escaped with 140 bags of sugar,
260 bags of flour and So boxes Of
soap.
Russian authorities said last
week that German criminals often
were dressing in Russian uniforms
in efforts to discredit Soviet occu-
patton forces.

A complete revision of the Fed
eral retirement system to bring
Government employees under So
cial security regulations, which
would mean reduced annuity
benefits for workers in the upper
and lower brackets and increased
payments for those in the mid
die wage scales, will be recon-
mended to the House Ways and
Means Committee next week, it
was learned today.
The recommendations will be
made by the House Ways and
Means Special Investigating Com
mittee, which last year was voted
$4,000 by Congress to study the en-
tire social security system, both
for industrial workers and Govern
ment employees.
Under the recommendations Gov
ernment employees will continue to
come under the present civil serv-
ice retirement system on a reduced
basis, and also will be covered by
social security for the first time.

Of II States and FBI agents were
hunting today for an armed bandit
whose escape after a robbery yester-

He ordered Mrs. Taylor to stoop
down, scooped up the money,
vaulted back over the window and
escaped on foot.

Operator Of Home
Identifies Ladder .
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A man
once employed at a nursery sit
uated within two blocks of the
home of Suzanne Degnan, 6,
kidnap-killing victim, was the
object of a police search today.
Mrs. Margaret Perry, operator of
the nursery home, told police the
man was discharged because of
questionable habits" Investigators
also learned he formerly was a
mental patient at Manteno State
Hospital, but had been discharged
as cured. They said he formerly was
a practicing North Side dentist.
Inquiry into the identity and
background of former employees of
the nursery came about when Mrs.
Perry identified a ladder found in
an alley at the rear of the Degnan
home as one which had been left
at the nursery two years ago by
roofing company employees.
Ex-Convict Also Sought.
Police believe the kidnap-killer
used the ladder to enter Suzanne's
bedroom early Monday when he
took her from her bed, left a $40, 900
ransom note, killed her and dis
membered her body. The child's
father, James E. Degnan, Chicago
OPA official, told reporters, however,
he had seen the ladder in the same
location the day before the crime.
Another man sought, the police
disclosed, was an ex-convict with
a record of sex offenses.
Although several clues, previously
regarded as important, collapsed
during the last "a hours. police still
held for questioning two janitors
and hunted for a, third.
Under ruling by a Criminal
Court judge at habeas corpus hear
ing yesterday, the two janitors, both
of whom underwent lie detector
tests last night, will be released at
4 pm. today unless they are charged
with an offense.

the government had decided to
legalize all political parties.
He said the government would free
all purely political prisoners, grant
the people freedom of speech and
promote local self-government.

ment.
Gen. George C. Marshall, special

tions for a truce last night by visit
