NEW YORK, Oct. IA kid
gloved bandit who came "to AK
the wiring" today robbed a. for
mer Hungarian beauty queen
and hotel magnate's former wife
of nearly three-quarters of a
million dollars worth of jewelry.
The soft-spoken bandit, police
said, performed one OF the greatest
jewel thefts in New York history
and one of the most profitable one
man jobs ever carried out anywhere.
Forcing his way into the pent-
house apartment of red-haired 28-
year-old Mrs. Sari Gabor Hilton,
former Miss Hungary" and formerly
wife of Conrad Hilton, hotel owner,
he escaped with approximately $780,
900 worth of jewelry after threaten
ing to shoot Mrs. Hilton and her
infant daughter. Mr.. Hilton is the
head of national hotel chain which
operates, among others, the May
flower in Washington.
Mrs. Hilton told police the robber
"came into my bedroom and started
to pull me out of bed" and she asked
him to let her put on a dressing
gown.
When she pleaded with him to
let her keep her widding rings and
a 2O-carat diamond engagement
ring, she said, he laughed and
sneered."
The holdup man also took a dia-
mond necklace, two diamond brace
lets and a score Of other pieces of
jewelry.
Mrs. Hilton. wearing her jewelry,
was Photographic by two fashion
photographers yesterday at her
apartment just off Fifth Avenue,
and last night made round of
three exclusive night clubs wearing
a dazzling collection of diamonds.
She said her loss was partially
covered by insurance.
The bandit tied Mrs. Hilton, sis
ter of Hungarian Actress Eva Gabor,
to a love seat and also trussed up
her maid, Mrs. Lulu Barth, before
fleeing.

valued at between 100000 and

of last June 30, 412 were of the
official" type. There was no way
of telling how many of the 412 were
for trainees.
Senator Ferguson's suggestion
that the United States "close down
on Russian trainees unless Ameri-
cans are allowed to examine Rus
sian production and industries fol-
lowed calls for restrictions from
other lawmakers.
In July Russia refused to let a
House Labor Subcommittee make a
visit. Lack of housing was given as
the reason. Then last month men,
bers of the Senate Appropriations
Committee and five American Off
Gals, including Mr.. Peurifoy, were
turned down when they asked to 60
to Moscow to inspect the United
States Embassy. The Russians OBJ
jected to American inspections in
Russia.
Both Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California, and Representa-
tive Kersten, Republican, of Wis
consin, as a result of the reflections
of committee visits, proposed that
the United States limit the entry of
Russians to the number of Ameri-
cans allowed in the Soviet Union.
The latest State Department tab
ulation put the number of Russian
diplomats and other officials in the
United States at 532 and the num-
per of Americans in Russia at about

Advises Amvets
by ihe Assoc;oted Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. 4.-Gen.
Omar N. Bradley today warned
World War II soldiers not to trade
on their war service because there
were too many issues to be met
for you to waste your time on the
economics of being a veteran"
"The Nation today needs men
who think in terms of service to
their country and not in terms of
their eountry's debt to them." the
veterans administrator told the
third annual convention of the
American Veterans of World War II
(Amvets).
The question you must ask your
selves Is not what does the Nation
owe to you but what do you still
owe to the Nation?" he said.
Warned Not to Repeat Mistakes.
Gen. Bradley urged the veterans
not to make the same mistakes of
World War I veterans who turned
their backs on the critical issues
growing out of that war
Unless you are ready to shoulder
your share of the problems that
have grown out of the war;" he
asserted, you may find that your
victory means something less than
1t did two years ago."
Earlier the convention delegates
adopted a resolution asking Con-
gress to investigate possible NAL
treatment of enlisted personnel in
military service.
The integrity of the Army and
the intelligence of the veteran are
challenged by this latest predicted
vhitewash of a West Point general

President Ray Sawyer told the con-
vention

He referred to vindicati of NAL

hand as far as the quality OF medl-
cal treatment was concerned. On
that basis. he was able to attract
top specialists from all fields OF the
profession.
One OF. them DR.. Paul B. Magnu-
son. most likely will succeed DR..
Hawley If he leaves.
DR.. Magnuson. a noted orthopedlc
surgeon from Chicago, is chiefly re-
sponsihle for developing the agency S
program of training doctors who are
residents at veterans hospitals and
getting private specialists to act as
part-time consultants at the hos
pitfalls.
Last week. DR.. Magnuson was ap-
pointed CHEF of professional serv-
ices. to work directly under DR.. Haw-
lev In co-ordinating divisions OF the
service
When we started our program
he declared. "it was necessary that
each division develop by itself, Now.
the time has come to draw them
closer together"
DR.. Magnuson stressed that ne.
like DR.. Hawley, feels that the vet
erans' medical program must be
free from outside influences If 1t is
TO be successful.
DR.. Magnuson was succeeded as
assistant medical director for re-
search and education by DR.. Edward
H. Cushing. Before coming to the
Veterans Administration, DR.. Cush-
ing was a professor OF clinical
medicine at Western Reserve UNI
versity.
Meanwhile, DR.. HaWley has told
associates he needs rest from the
wearing two-year job he has held
at the agency.
Will Benefit Financially.
And, like most of his top subor-
dinates. he would benefit financially
to a substantial extent by returning
to private medicine. AS medical
director of the agency, it was learned,
Or. Hawley draws a salary only about
$4,000 larger than his pay as re-
tired Army major general-and he
has had to waive the retirement pay
to take the Government position.
The development virtually kills
r1Imors that DR.. Hawley would sue
ceed Gen. Bradley as veterans ad-
ministrator The general is eX-
pected to become Army chief OF staff
when Gen. Eisenhower retires early
next year.
Another Veterans Administration
official who frequently has been
mentioned as possible successor to
Gen. Bradley is Omer w. Clark, a
chief aide who acted as admins
TRAITOR during Gen. Bradley's alb
sence. He has been connected with
the agency for nearly % years.

chief of the Medical Department
personnel division said.
A. S. T. p. Officers Promoted Soon
with reference to the 500, ]
asked many of the last class Of SOC
internes who are just beginning
their two years of obligatory service
how they felt and every one said
they did not think the provision
unfair" he continued.
Shortly after passage Of the pay
act, Maj. Gen. Raymond A. Bliss
Army surgeon general, said that ii
was mot pay increase but an
equalization measure designed to
bring the incomes of Medical and
Dental Corps officers more nearly
in line with those of civilian doc
tors and dentists"
Col. Robinson pointed out that it
was also designed to repay Regular
Army doctors and dentists for money
they spent on their educations. A.
S. T. P. officers should not forget
the benefits they have received, he
added.
The Army has. followed the rule
that A. S. T. P. officers should be
promoted as soon as possible, Col.
Robinson said. He added that none
was below the rank Of first lieu
tenant. aa -. .
Diff ferential Was Intentional.
The medical department has been
concerned over. the problem and
only last week received an opinion
from the Judge advocate general
that the law was never intended to
pay A. S. T. P. doctors and dentists
the 500.
The opinion stated that officers
required to remain on active duty
may volunteer for additional periods
of, service only after expiration OF
their obligatory periods and thus be
eligible for the extra 500.
An A. S. T. P. officer cannot vol
unteer before expiration of his OBJ
ligatory period because he cannot
offer. freely and voluntarily, service
which he is already obliged to rem
der" the opinion said.

What stirred Senator Ferguson up
was a protest from Local 468 of the
CIO Auto Workers Union that the
Clark Equipment Co. at Buchanan,
Mich. had agreed with the Soviet
Purchasing Commission to train
Russians in the manufacture Of
steel axle housings.
Displacing Union Members.
The union said in telegram to
Senator Ferguson September 81 that
the Russian trainees were diSplacing
union members and were learning
American manufacturing processes
which are so necessary for the well
fare and security of this nation"
The union asked for a congressional
investigation.
The Senator asked the Justice
Departments immigration Service
to look into the complaint and tell
him now many Russian trainers
have been admitted to this country
and on what basis. He also took the
matter up with the State Depart
ment. And he gave out the replies
yesterday.
Mr.. Miller reported eight Russians
now are training at the Buchanan
plant. There is no question where
they are. Mr.. Miller gave names
and ages and said they came In
under diplomatic visas granted by
the United States Consulate in Mos
COW. He said the company paid its
regular employees during the time
Russians ran their machines.
In Detroit, Immigration Director
E. E. Adcock said the Clark Co. has
been training Soviet technicians
since June in groups of 4 to 20. He
said some of the first have gone back
to Russia and been replaced by
others.
Some kind of procedure Is needed,
Mr.. Miller wrote Ferguson, by which
immigration officers can check up
on aliens Of all countries who are
admitted for training or study.
This is emphasized somewhat"
Mr.. Miller said, "by our lack OF
knowledge as to where the Russians
legally admitted and formerly en-
ployed by the Clark Equipment Co.
may be now or where they have
gone"
Mr.. Peurifoy sent Senator Fergu-
son memorandum saying that
Soviet nationals admitted for train
ing obtain visas as officials Of the

Good Statehood
 Testimony Given At Hearings

leStlnOny presented at me St3te- hood hearing in Washington re- gently, George Sundborg, general manager of the Alaska Develop ment Board, said this week on his return here from a business trip to the States which included attend ance at the hearing. - =.
 Both sides of the issue were presented very ably and by good Alaskans," Sundborg said. "I Can- not agree with MT. Faulkner that proponents of statehood spoke I'only in generalities and failed to supply the facts and figures which the committee wanted"
 H. L. Faulkner, Juneau attor- ney, was quoted to this effect sev- eral weeks ago on his return from Washington where he appeared in opposition to statehood0
 :, "As for the case against state hood," Sundborg said, INT. Faulk- ner did extremely we'll with it, considering how weak it was to start with"
 The Development Board man. ager advised Alaskans to judge the matter for themselves when complete transcripts of the testi- mony are availble, as they will be shortly.
 On one thing, at least, both Faulkner and Sundborg agree, the latter said, and that is that Dele gate E. L. Bob" Bartlett is doing an excellent job in Washington for Alaska.
 Sundborg dismissed as "just some more Coffey theatrics" a statement from Juneau during the hearing by Territorial Senator Edward D. Coffey of Anchorage that Alaska was being represented in Washington "by a privileged few, mostly government officials, who can spend public funds to travel to Washington while the people of Alaska are hardly repre- sented."
 Sundborg said this certainly came as surprise to those in Washington from Coffey's own Di- vision, all of whom made the trip either at their own expense or that of local Chambers of Com merce believing in the advantages of statehood. These included Lee C. Bettinger, Kodiak mayor and businessman; Don Carlos Brown ell, Seward motion picture theatre operator and Territorial Senator; Hugh Dougherty, Anchorage in- surance man; Judge Anthony J, Dimond, former Delegate; Ken Hinchey, Anchorage contractor, and Robert B. Atwood, editor and i publisher of the Anchorage Times. l Sundborg said the additional costs of statehood, about which Faulkner and others expressed so much alarm, actually would be only half as great annually as the additional freight rate increase as- sessed against Alaskans two weeks ago, and from which we will get no material benefit whatever"
 The group which heard the statehood testimony in Washing ton, the Territories subcommittee of the House Public Lands com mittee, is to visit Alaska this sum- mer.
