Officers S Shipments
From Overseas Seized
In Stamford Home
BY the Associated Press

STANFORD, Conn, Nov. 2.-De-
tective Capt. Daniel Hanrahan said
yesterday that customs officials had
removed from the home of a Stam-
ford physician and his wife, goods
which the officer reported were
valued at $4,000 sent to them by
an officer Of the Allied military
government stationed in Budapest
Capt. Hanrahan said the customs
officials were from Boston and that
they had been accompanied by Of
flcers of the Boston provost mar
shall's staff and by an officer OF
the military intelligence.
He added that the customs officers
presumably had acted under law
which prohibits the duty-free i'm
portation of goods valued at more
than $50.
According to the detective cap
tain, the goods, contained in IA
wooden boxes, were removed from
the home of DR.. Gustaf Blass and
his wife, DR.. Jolan w. Blass.
Sent by Brother.
Capt. Hanrahan said that the
customs men reported that the
cartons contained silverware, china,
leather goods and wearing apparel
sent to the Blasses by 1t. John
Worth, a brother of Mrs. Blass. He
said that the goods were NOT seized
but were removed with the consent
and co-operation of the Blasses.
Capt. Hanrahan said no charges
had been placed against any one.
The Boston customs Office referred
all queries to washington.
At Washington, Deputy Customs
Commissioner E. j. Shamhart said
the legend on each package declar-
ed the goods were gifts from mem
ber of the armed forces.
He added that the boxes con-
tanned substantial quantities of new
merchandise, including numerous
duplicated items"
Mr.. Shamhart said no appraisal
had been made, but that a prelimi-
nary check indicated the merchan-
disc may have a value in excess OF
$4,000.
Will Ask Bill of Particulars.
At New Haven, Nelson Harris, at
torney for the Blasses, said that he
was preparing and would file with
the Federal Court here next week a
demand for a bill of particulars, a
full explanation of the taking OF the
goods without a search warrant and
a demand for their immediate re-
turn.
Mr.. Harris said that the goods
taken had value of "less than
$4,000" and that they had been sent
home by 1t. Worth over period of
three years. The cartons, he said,
were "98 per cent unopened" and no
effort had been made to conceal
them.
Stamford authorities said that the
BIasses came here in 1888 from Aus
tria. They have two children. 1t.
Worth came to this country in 1889,
to Stamford in 1912, became Unit
ed States citizen in South Carolina
in 1943 and a registered voter here
in 1914.
