the alley, found it unlocked, and
the three ran across the alley to
Hoy's pool room, from where
Harry Stephens, proprietor, also
called the police.
At one time during the hold
up Miss Neer attempted to watch
the younger man rifling the
drawers and was ordered to
turn around there and quit
looking. One of the burglars no
ticed the red light outside the
vault which indicates whether or
not the inside light has been left
on after the vault door is closed.
He asked what it meant, evident
ly thinking it might be burglar
alarm.
First Officers Arrive
Before herding his three vic
Tins into the back room, the older
burglar wanted to know where
the door led, and was apparently
satisfied when Miss Neer told him,
Ito the ladies' rest room"
First officers on the scene were
Relief Officer George Singer and
Marshal Clarence Brown. Officer
Singer was on the Public Square
when he first received word of
the burglary. Although unarmed
and thinking the hold-up was
still in progress, he started run
ming to the Loan co. Before he
had arrived there, however, Mar
shall Brown drove past in the po-
lice cruiser. Mr.. Singer stopped
him, armed himself with the ex-
ira gun in the police car, and the
two officers entered the Loan co.
together Sheriff H. S. Roosa ar
rived a few seconds later.
The alarm was quickly given to
the State Highway patrol which
threw out a oscar Gordon around
the area and had officers search
ing the roads as late as Tuesday
night for the getaway car. FBI
officers arrived on the scene "a
bout 4 p. m.
May Have Seen Car
Only person who may have
seen the burglars driving away
was Alfred Asman, 223 w. Eighth
ST., a printer who was returning
to work. Headed east on Fifth st.
he had stopped for the traffic
light and Court and Fifth when
he observed blue Chevrolet
parked in front of Simpson & Da-
Wis barber shop.
When he saw the car, one man
was at the wheel and a second
man running to get in. Then, as
Mr.. Asman watched, the car shot
away from the curb, through the
red light and around the corner
to go north on Court st.
At W. Fourth St, the bandits
if such they were-did not step
for the stop sign and turned left
on Fourth ST., going fast. By the
time Mr. Asman had reached
Fourth st. himself, after waiting
for the traffic light to turn green,
the blue car was nearly to Maple
st.
The hold-up was the second
for the Citizens Federal. Sixteen
years ago, when it was located
in E. Fifth St, where Howard Au-
to Supply now is, two men got
$500 in MONDAY stick-up.

suit and brown hat, and carried
a brown suit case.
When they entered the Loan
co, MIR. Lorenz was at the drink
ing fountain in the lobby, while
Miss Neer was working at desk
toward the rear of the room. The
Older man pulled gun on Lorenz
and in a Semi-whisper, ordered
him to "get on back there"
Meanwhile the younger man
approached Miss Neer and inquir-
ed, rs Mr.. Neer In?" (Reed B.
Neer, manager of the Loan CO., is
her father.) Before she could re-
ply, the man continued with "This
is a stick-up. Just Don't Move. "
Ordered Into Back Room
BY that time the older man had
brought Lorenz back to Miss
Neers desk, and then covered"
both of them while his younger
confederate began cleaning out
the four cash drawers. About this
time, Mrs. Peoples entered to
make a deposit, and she was ush
cred back with the other two.
All three of them were then
ordered into a back room, with
the older man to watch them
part of the time through the open
door, while also keeping an eye
on the front offices. In the back
room is a window which opens
onto an inside hallway, and ad-
joining the hall is an apartment
occupied by Mrs. Harry Handy.
Tells Neiqhbor
Lorenz attracted Mrs. Hanby'S
attention by lightly tapping on
the window (she chanced TO be
in such position that she could
hear him), then whispered to her
that the robbery was going on.
MRS. Handy Immediately went to
her apartment to call the police,
but before they could arrive, the
bandits had left.
Just before the yeggs left, the
older man reached over and pull
ed the door to the back room
shut. Miss Neer almost immedi-
ately tried an outside door which
opens from the back room onto

Trench Faith in Poland
Shown by Decision 10
Renew Treaty Of 1921
By Paul Gholi
Foreign Correspondent OF The Star end
the Chicago Dolly News

PARIS, Feb. 21-With the formal
agreement this week to renew and
revise the 1921 Franco-Polish
mutual assistance pact, France
clearly declares to the world its
faith in the new Poland.
This declaration, furthermore,
comes at the precise moment when
both Britain and the United States.
by withdrawing their Ambassadors
from Warsaw, question the demo-
cratic tendencies of the new Polish
government,
But even more clearly, the agree
ment, which ties another knot In
the European system of alliances
tending to immunize France from
the German peril, underlines the
French intention to maintain an
equal balance between Anglo Saxon
and Soviet spheres.
Obviously France wants to demon
strate to Russia that neither the
projected Franco British treaty nor
Premier Paul Ramadier's call for
a French agreement with the United
States, can be interpreted as the
prelude to that Soviet nightmare,
western bloc.
Whea it is remembered that the
1921 pact. the legal reason for
Frances intervention in World War
II, was aimed as much against the
Russians as the Germans, it is
easy to anticipate the direction the
agreed revisions will take. Times
have changed. and today it appears
that the Polish government has
nothing to fear from Kremlin ex-
pansionism.
In any case, the French view of
the recent Polish elections is a
mixture of realism and opportunism.
One French official put it this
way: mo Polish election ever has
been democratic in the western
democratic sense. We must accept
even If we don't approve that fact"
The political declaration con-
cerning renewal of the pact Is &C
compained by the signature of a
cultural agreement between France
and Poland. This tends toward the

but the figures which tie patton
experts use are heavily loaded.
Industry has increased in IL
months from about 20 to IS per cent

Germans already were well launched
on the road to guns instead OF but

duction for peaceful purposes.
Our merger with the British is a
desperate effort to get this changed.
But it's the old problem of wheels

We can't get coal because there
isn't enough food.
We can't get food because there
aren't exports to pay for it.

It's a painful, downward spiral

make it.

by John Foster Dulles before the
National Publishers Association in
New York, in which he revealed
that Republican policy-if it is not
already administration policy-will
be to rebuild the economy OF all
of Western Europe around the nat
ural resources and industry of the
Rhine basin.
His plan, approved not only by
Chairman Vandenberg of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
but also by Gov. Dewey, is to estab-
lish a Western European economic
bloc embracing France, the Low
Countries and perhaps Britain and
Western Germany, with the latter
under a form of international con-
troll. This would permit maximum
development of Germany's indus
trial potential while preventing the
Germans from becoming again the
masters of Europe.
The implication of Mr.. Dulles re-
marks is simply that Western Ger
many's economy-and that can be
construed to mean everything out
side the Russian zone-will be de-
tached from the rest of Germany
and Eastern Europe to prevent 1t
falling by default into the sphere
of Russian domination.

Coming back to Germany is a
genuine shock.
I won't bore you with long de-
scriptions of ruined cities and
ruined people more than to say
there never has been more ap-
palling collection of both in the
world. One comes to realize this
gradually.
1t was bright fall when I arrived
in Frankfurt. The sun was shining,
as it hadn't done during the entire
summer in England. Crops looked
good. People were working in the
fields. Their clothing seemed sur
prisingly good. Children appeared
we'll fed.
Shocking Ruins Fill Cities.
The comparison with London,
with the gray damp, the floods and
and storms that wasted much OF the
harvests there, the weary people
struggling still with rations and re-
strictions of every sort, was strange
and infuriating.

on what American producers offer.
But the producers express ardent
hope that there will be no business
depression in the, United States. AS
they see it, Americans will be in the
foreign field in any event, but pres
sure won't be so great If there is
lively demand for aircraft in the
United States.
Two British Markets.
In Britain, where distances are
short, the domestic market for
planes is small compared to the
United States.
Broadly, the British manufacturer
has two markets.
First and perhaps most important
is the British government, which
has a monopoly on regularly sched-
uled British airline services.
The second is the world at large,
where the Americans prowl. An ad-
vantage enjoyed by British con-
structors is that, directly and in
directly, they have powerful gov
ernment support.
One plan calls for a world tour
in 1947 by an airplane carrier loaded
with the latest types of British
planes.
Today the range of British trans
ports in production or scheduled for
production in 1947 embraces no
fewer than SO types and variations
covering just about anything that
could be required in the way Of
airplanes.
The Bristol Co.'S Brabazon I
weighs 284,00O pounds, has accom-
modations for u passengers to sleep.
Fitted with eight engines of $500
horsepower, its flying range is about
5000 miles. It was conceived as a
sort. of a Queen Elizabeth of the
air, and should be in service before
the end of the year.
Among the four-engined types in
production are the Handley-P Page
Hermes and Halton, the A. v. Roe
Co.'S Lancastrian, York, Tudor I
and Tudor II and the Short Co.'S
Sandringham and the flying boat
Solent.
The British have pinned high
hopes on the Tudors, designed to
carry up to 40 passengers on flights
up to 4,2OO and $500 miles. Their
development has been slow, due to
changes intended to increase safety.
Orders Pile Up.
Among the smaller planes are the
single-engined Percival Proctor, the
Miles Messenger and Auster's Auto
crat. Among the twin-engined craft
are the Miles Gemini and Aerovan,
Airspeed's Consul, A. v. Roe's Nine
teen, the De Havilland Dove, the
Vickers-Armstrong Viking and Bris-
tolls Wayfarer and Freighter.

ords of extensive service are the

Newsman Describes Apathy Of Germans Despite Crisis

German businessman has no Ger
ta;nty whether his factory will be
taken tomorrow or not. If the fac
tory isn't taken, he has no interest
in earning marks, because they
probably will be recalled and, in any
event, won't buy anything.
Era of "Hate' Is at an End.
The situation can be relieved only
by the implementation of the ideas
at least of the Potsdam agreement,
Or a clearcut decision by ourselves
and the British that we will make
a new nation of the western por-
tions of Germany, independent Of
the Russian zone and drawing on
its own resources-the very indus
tries which bulwarked the war-to
feed and clothe and maintain it
self. It would, after all, be a ma
hon of 10000, 900 persons, four times
as many as Canada. There are a
few hopeful signs. The era Of "hate"
is ended, except for the French. We
all are being kind to the Germans.
The Russians are easing the pres
sure in a dozen different ways.
We're all trying to be friends-be-
cause we have to-, It's the only pos
sible solution.
Far more than most of US real
ize, think, the Moscow Conference
