Billy Rose Robbed
OF 100000 Last
Night At His Home

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-(40.-
Three bandits robbed the home
of New York Nightclub Owner
Billy Rose while he and his wife
attended a show last night. The
100000 loss in furS and jewelTy
taken by the gunner didn't seem
to impress the master Snowman.
Rose quipped: I'm glad Baby
had on her war paint tonight" By
that, he referred to the jewelry
his wife, former swim star Flea
nor Holm, had worn to the show.
Rose said the gems were valued
at around $3.50 600
And just as if he wore lucky
diamond horseshoe on his Shout
der, Rose explained that, anyway,
the bandits had left undisturbed
a 100000 collection of paintings
and $4,000 worth of antique sill
yer.
In addition to tWo-foot square
safe containing the stolen Jewels,
the bandits took 5000 in cash
from a dresser drawer and a 80

ALLIES MAY PUT
SQUEEZE PLAY on SOVIETS
blockade Reds
May Be AnsiUer
To Present
Conditions

LONDON, Jan. q. The West
ern Allies in Germany are talk
ing about a counter blockade of
the Soviet zone as their answer
to Russia's ever tightening
squeeze on Berlin truck traffic.
Talk of boycotting East Ger
many was revived To-Day as 400
trucks piled up in colossal traf-
fie jam at the city OF IIelrnstedt,
where the big highway from West
Germany to Berlin enters the
Soviet sector. .
This creeping blockade" by the
Russians, regarded as little more
than nuisance at first, is begin
ming to have serious repercus-
sions. Two formal protests have
been sent to the Russian COM
mandant at Berlin - protests
which have gone unanswered.
The American commandant of
Berlin, Major General Maxwell
Taylor. has taken dim view of
the situation. He said today:
Il am not worried by an out
right blockade which Soviet au-
thorities might apply. We can
cope with that"
He continued: But | am con-
cerned that this pecking at truck
traffic will shake the caYaf;r7apeo
of buyers abroad in the desira-
bility of doing business with
West Berlin. This harassment
could seriously harm fhe recovery
of West Berlin trade unless 1t is
promptly checkelp."
So said General Taylor.
The counter blockade helped
the Allies overcome the big So
Wet blockade of Berlin last year.
The Soviet occupation area felt
the pinch-hard-even as the
airlift kept Berlin from starving.
Whether that counter blockade
will be revived may depend on
what the Russians do about
breaking the Berlin highway traf-
fic jam in the next few days. In
any event, the Allies have made
it plain that they won't take this
new blockade lying down-and
that some kind of economic re-
prisal will be threatened.

CHICAGO BOAT OWNER URGES
CITY TO BUILD YACHT BASIN

( H. M. Hedges, of Chicago, own
er of the 55-foot schooner, Ask
oy, before departing from Key
West at noon today, urged the cit
liens of the city to build a yacht
basin as. quickly as possible.
Key West has no suitable
yacht BASIN, said Hedges, who
was here with his vessel fer
three weeks awaiting parts for a
damaged motor. Every passing
ship here dangerously rocks every
yacht that is berthed at Porter
Dock or elsewhere in Key West.
I'VE on the Askoy spent. apa
proximately- ST 500 during our
three-Week stay here. l alone
spent $1,000 for equipment and
supplies for my schooner. Then
the crew spent at least $500, for
food, cigarettes, entertainment
and other things while we were
here.
"A proper berth for yachts
would be a good thing for Key
West. Even if yacht remained
here only day or two, the own
ers and their crews would leave
plenty of money in Key West.
up at Fort Lauderdale they
have a fine yacht basin. So have
many other cities in Florida They
provide water and gas and cleo
tricity. They charge nominally for
those services, but yachtsmen
like to stay there, and many dc
so the entire winter.
1T is only by the grace of God
that the Askoy wasn't badly dam
aged during our stay here. There
have been several yachts damag

The u. S. high commission

the increasing number of
Russian restrictions in Berlin
traffic mark the beginning Of
a creeping blockade.
A source familiar with Me-

the commissioner believes the
new restrictions are a form

summer and here it is fall again.
Yes, summer has come an gone

Fall. too, has much to offer, the
bright October sun, the smell of
the ripen corn, the crowded stadi-
