Supt. Fallon told reporters.
Descriptions Vary.
"It's a tough Job to pin down
descriptions of the holdup men" F."
the superintendent added.
Descriptions given by witnesses
varied. The best indicated that
all were about 5 feet 9 inches,
weighing approximately 180
pounds.
Six wore rubbers, the seventh
crepe-soled shoes. The purpose
of these was to kill off sound as
the deSperadoes headed into the
building.
No descriptions were obtained
of the man, or men, who waited
outside the garage to steer the
getaway.
All vacationing and off-duty
State police troopers and detec,
tives were called back to work
by State Commissioner of Public
Safety John F. Stokes.
Called Well Organized Gang.
Mayor John B. Hynes said the
Shocking series of holdups" was
the work of a "well-organized
gang of OUT town criminals. 4"
He expressed confidence in the
ability of police to crack the case.
There were two OTHER holdups in
greater Boston on Monday, one of
them a $4,000 haul at the Hotel
Statler, a short distance from
Boston police headquarters.
OF last nights loldup, Police
Supt. Fallon said:
There is no doubt it was an in
side job and was probably planned
for weeks-even with blueprints
and rehearsals. The bandits must
have used a master key, and in
asmuch as the company reports
none missing, they must have bad
a duplicate made.
Could Have Cleaned Out Place"
The job was so carefully
planned they could have marched
so men in there and cleaned out
the whole place, including the
million dollars they left behind
because they couldn't carry it.
"We want an explanation as to
why the burglar alarm was not
sounded. 1t was available on both
sides of the cage.
There was little or no security
there. To my knowledge, Brink S
has never asked for police protec-
ton.
witnesses don't agree on de-
scriptions of the men and the only
voice they heard was that of the
leader, which was mumbled and
muffied through the mask he wore.

drove up to the place or where
they parked. We have witnesses

Loot in Small Bills
Makes Drinks Haul
Robbers Delight
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Jan. ia "rob-
bers' delight"
That was the way one vet
eran detective described the
Drinks holdup.
Most of the bills were in
small denominations - $40,
$40, SIS, 50, 81.
Detectives may be able to
trace some of the money, how
ever.
A Drinks official told police
that serial numbers would
help as much of the loot was
in new bills.
This money, the official ex-
planned, was mixed with older
bills which can't be tracked
down very easily.

An alarm giving descriptions of
the desperadoes was sounded
along the entire Eastern seaboard
while this city's police began one

In a special department order,
Supt. Fallon told his men:

tective to work on this case"
The gunmen-in a Commute
precision raid-snatched the mon
ey from an open vault at Brink S
after gagging and trussing five
employees last night.
Along with the million in cash
the gangsters grabbed $500,000
in checks.
Cruiser cars raced through the
city and outlying districts during
the night running down a number
of tips that proved worthless.
Chased Cadillac Sedan.
Shortly after the holdup police
chased at break-neck speed a five
passenger black Cadillac sedan

They lost it in the city's West
Roxbury district.
Police believed the car, bearing
stolen registration plates. headed

Clio Board Convenes
On Proposal 10 Gust
Z Unions as Pro-Red
o. ths AssoSiCtsd Press

The CIO Executive Board was
called into session today 10 weigh
custer proceedings against two
more unions charged with follow
ing the Communist line instead of
CIO policy.
The s5-member board repre-
all the unions in the CIO
was empowered by the Cleveland
last November to expel
any officer or union whose pro-
grams were found to differ with
those OF the parent organization.
Investigating committees were
set today to recommend expellins
the American Communications AS
with about 10000 men,
bers. and the Fur and Leather
Workers, which voted to withdraw
from the CIO at its convention in
Atlantic City three weeks ago.
Headed by Communist.
The latter union, claiming more
than $4,000 members. is headed
by Ben Gold, a charter member
of the Communist Party in the
United States.
Another union originally
charged with following Commu-
mist programs may be exonerated
by the board as the result of its
convention action in Chicago last
week.
The United Furniture Workers
with $4,000 members, ousted its
accused officers in response to ur-
gent pleas from President Morris
Pizer.
Altogether a dozen unions were
accused at the start of the CIC
purge last fall. Two of them
the United Electrical Workers and
Farm Equipment Workers-were
booted out by the CIO convention
in November in Cleveland.
$4,000 Members Involved.
Early this year, the executive
board expelled four other unions:
the Mine. Mill and Smelter Work
ers. the United Public Workers,
the United Office and Professional
Workers and the Food, Tobacco
and Agricultural Workers. Their
combined membership of $4,000
now is being wooed by anti
Communist unions in the CIO.
Still to be acted on are charges
of pro-Communism against Harry
Bridges International LongShore-
mems and Warehousemen's Union
and two allied unions: the Marine
Cooks and Stewards and Fisher
men and Allied Workers.
Hearings have been held on the
charges against those three
unions, but CIO officials in ad-
vance of today's session said there
was little likelihood the board
would get around to those cases
because Bridges has been given
additional time to file briefs in his
defense.
