.5,OOOin Omaha Watch
Police, FbI Manhunt
For Vanished Convict
BY the Associated Press

OMAHA, Sept. Is. - Wary,
heavily-armed officers combeG
Omaha today for a convict who
gave his guard the slip then
squeezed out of a police trap as
a crowd of 5000 curious gathered
to watch.
Kenneth Kits, Omaha bank
burglar, vanished from a Douglas
county courthouse washroom
where he had been taken by a
prison guard late yesterday.
He had been brought to Omaha
to testify at Federal Court hear
ing concerning a 100000 Okla
homa City jewel robbery.
The escape launched a man
hunt that came to a climax when
Kits was reported seen in a near
downtown residential area about
10 pm
Sheriff's and police cars raced
to the area.
FBI Shot Up Tires.
About the same time, FBI
agents sought to question two
men near the apartment build
ing where the Kits family lived.
When the two fled, the Federal
agents shot up their tires to halt
the car. The two turned out to
have no relation to the case.
Nf fINA oE1hIYvHf cYNiaad
by reports of the shooting near
the Kits apartment, quickly
spread. Within an hour a horde
of curious estimated by Sheriff
Richard Collins at 5000 jammed
the area. Even police cars were
unable to get through the traffic
jam.
Disguised officers finally gave
up their search of the area.
Afterward, Sheriff Collins said
fatty that Kits had been in the
area. He said Kits had shed the
prison garb in which he had
escaped, and was wearing brown
slacks and a striped blue dress
shirt. The handouts, which had
been fastened to one wrist when
he escaped, also were gone, the
sheriff said.
Vanished in Thin Air.
Just how Kits managed his
escape from the prison guard, 1t.
John Duffek, was still undeter-
mined. 1t. Duffek said Kits "just
disappeared in thin air."
The FBI reported he was seen
a short time afterward in park
ing lot several blocks away.
Several months ago, Kits had
vanished from an Iowa jail and
at least two budding escape at
tempts were attributed to him.
Kits has been charged with
five South Dakota bank robberies
and has been convicted of the
$4,000 burglary of a bank att
Laurens, Iowa. He had been serv-
ing a 12-year Nebraska sentence
for burglary and as an habitualI
criminal.

Vote, 10 |,
In Favor Of Lifting
Tass Press Cards
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The
proposed denial of congressional
press credentials to Tass corre-
spondents won heavy support in
a poll of American editors by the
newspaper trade publication. Ed
itor and Publisher.
Voting in the poll. Editor and
Publisher said yesterday, was
more than 2 to l in favor of
lifting Capitol Hill press cards
from those representing the Rus
sian news agency.
Alexander F.. Jones, president of
the American Society of News
paper Editors, was the first to
make the proposal.
He suggested the measure as a
means of American retaliation
for the imprisonment of Asso-
ciated Press Correspondent Will
liam ". Oats by the Communist
government of CZechoSlovakia.
supported Dy CeIler.
The Jones proposal later was
supported by Representative Gel
Ter, Democrat. of New York, who
said he would seek to have Tass
representatives barred from con-
gressional press galleries.
Although most of the editors
polled by Editor and Publisher
favored Mr.. Jones' proposal, their
reaction ranged from a curt 81
say throw them out" to the
equally curt, rather silly"
Editor and Publisher said that
% of the 40 editors polled favored
"disaccreditation" of Tass repre-
sentatives. and that IL voted
against the proposal.
FL Favor Ban.
Those who gave outright ap-
proval to Mr.. Jones proposal
numbered 81, Editor and Pub
Usher said, while 10 expressed
firm dissents; the remainder voted
"yes" or mo" with qualifications.
Mr.. Jones advanced his pro-
posal after describing the opera
tions of Tass as a "Russian-sup-
ported and controlled propaganda
bureau"
One Of the editors represented
in the poll said he backed Mr..
Jones if it was proven that Tass
correspondents are representa-
tives of a foreign government,
especially an avowedly hostile
one."
Another editor, who unqauli-
fiedly supported Mr.. Jones, said
Tass representatives obviously are
spies, not legitimate newspaper
men"
Say Oats Won't Be Helped.
Those voting against the Jones
proposal argued that such a meas
ure would not help the imprisoned
Mr.. Oats, that congressional press
credentials do not entitle any one
to secret information about the
Government and that
such a step would amount to So
Wet methods of suppressing infor-
nation"
Other editors in the group vot-
ing against Mr.. Jones suggestion
cautioned that a ban against Tass
representatives might be extended
to other newspaper
as one editor put it,
to correspondents of American
newspapers that diStort the news. -
Still others said that any action
to be taken against Soviet news
men should be taken by the Amer
ican Government officially rather
than by the Washington corre-
spondents' organization that issues
congressional credentials.

Reaction in Europe
Varies on Big ; Plan
For German Defense
sx the A,,oeiatsd Pres,

FRANKIE URT. Germany, Sept.
Big Three decision toI
bring West Germany into the
European defense setup met today
with reactions ranging all the
way from hopeful acceptance to
bitter denunciation.
East Germany's Communist
leaders and newspapers followed
the Moscow line in attacking the
proposed remilitarization of West
Germany as preparation for a
new war aimed at the Soviet
Union
Mixed reaction in the West fol-
lowed party lines. Some West
German newspapers expressed
mild optimism. Others showed
cold reserve.
The independent Frankfurter
Neue Presse said the price for
getting Western German troops
into q European army was high,
but commented: I'm the year
Of unconditional surrender +.
we did not even dream Of such a
quick development"
Seen Search for Formula.
The usually pro-Socialist Frank
furter RuIdschau declared:
1--WE certainly do not lament
that we will not have a national
army (under the Big Three pro-
posals) but things can only go well
if the other national armies in
Europe disappear too"
The Darmstaedter Echo said the
Big Three apparently had tried to
find a formula which would be
more appetizing to the French,
but that the search appears not
to have been very successful.
The Russian-controlled press of
East Germany called the proposal
"a war dictate" and urged West
German workers and youth to
sabotage it by strikes and refusal
to heed conscription calls.
East Germany's Communist
Premier Otto Grotewohl called a
special session of Parliament to
hear his governments declaration
denouncing the Big Three deci-
sions. He said they represented
"a betrayal of the German people
similar to that committed by Hit
ler."
"Peace Manifesto" Out.
An East German Communist
peace manifesto" declared:
Every form of recruiting and
conscription is totally illegal.
Therefore. every form of resistance
against remilitarization, against
recruiting and conscription is legal
and in the interest of the Ger
man people"
Some Allied observers in Berlin
believe the Kremlin may move
as a reaction-for concluding a
separate peace settlement with
East Germany, elevating it's gov
ernment to the status of a "peo-
piles democracy"
The official Soviet Communist
newspaper Pravda hammered
away at the hesitant French in ar
obvious campaign to split up the
Big Three solidarity.
THE French ruling circles art
conducting a dangerous policy,
Isaid Pravda. "They must bear thu
responsibility for all the con.
quences of their policy, which is
, directed against the peace anc
security Of the people"
In Paris, Premier Rene Plevin's
coalition government wasn't get
ting all its opposition to the West
German troops issue from the
Communists. Gen. Charles dc
Gaulle's right-wing Rally of the
French People (RPFD charged
that the Washington decisions
presented France with an accom-
plished fact. The RPF served
notice it wants parliamentary dis
cuSSion on the decisions.
