Cafe Owner S Failure
Ito Call Wife Leads 10
Rescue After HoIdup

A cafe owners fears that a
nervous bandit might shoot him
accidentally last night didn't
keep him from pleading with the
gunman to call the owners wife
and reassure her that he was safe.
1t was the bandits failure to
call that led to the cafe mans
rescue from a refrigerator, where
he had been imprisoned with four
of his employees.
Nicholas Costin, 48, Of 2480
Sixteenth street NV. said the
colored bandit came into his
restaurant at 1886 Seventeenth
NV, carrying a .45-caliber auto
matte about GAS pm.
Mr.. Costin was in the basement
when he heard the bandit scuffiing
upstairs with William H. Van
Hook, colored, a waiter, of 1915
T street NV.
Threatened by Bandit.
He went up the stairs, and saw
the gunman forcing Mr.. Van Hook
toward the stairs. When the ban
dit saw Mr.. Costin, he said, Don't
try anything, or I'll shoot you"
| He herded the two, along with
Teasley Ballen of 1918 Swan
street NV, John w. Thomas of
1910 Irving street NV. and LIE Roy
Parker of Freeman place, into a
refrigerator in the basement.
There he took $12 from Mr.. Co.'S
tin.
He locked the four in, went back
upstairs, and tried to open the
safe. When he was unable to do
so, he returned for Mr.. Costin
and forced him to open the safe.
Police said that by this time
the bandit was so nervous, the
gun was shaking in his hand, and
Mr.. Costin feared that it would
go off accidentally. But Mr.. Co.'S
tin, despite his fears, remembered
his regular telephone calls each
night to his wife.
4 Former EmplOye Sought.
Call my wife," he pleaded with
the bandit. He gave the gunman
the telephone number. The ban
dit didn't, but fed with $500 from
the safe.
| Later, when Mrs. Costin failed
to receive a telephone call, she
called a taxicab and went to the
restaurant. She and a special
policeman Investigated, and found
her husband and the four others
locked in the refrigerator.
Police said the bandit arrived
in a taxicab, and they were look
ing for the cab driver today. They
also were seeking a former en-

$4,000 Fire Truck

The Upper Montgomery County
Volunteer Fire Department at
Beallsville is purchasing a 800

under construction. They expect
delivery next month.
Mr.. Davis said the new pumper
will be the first in the county to be

State Department Defends
Farm Machinery for Iran
BY the Associated Pres.

The State Department expressed
confidence yesterday Iranians
would know how to handle the
heavy farm machinery it proposes
to send to Iran as part of a S24
million economic aid program.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, criticized the move
Sunday. He said it was an ex-
ample of how economic and tech
n1cal aid programs run by the
department are missing fire.
The departments press officer.
Michael McDermott, told a news
conference only one-fourth of the
aid program for Iran would 90 for
the heavy equipment such as har-
VeStlng combines, bulldozers. etc
The need for such equipment is
imperative, he said, in order to
clear and irrigate large areas OF
Iran which have never before been
brought under cultivation.
In criticizing the department
Senator Fulbright agreed the
United States should help Iran
economically. But, he added:
Those people don't know how
to run combines and if we shir

II Bodies Recovered
After B-5O Smashes
Seattle Apartments
BY the Assoeioted Press

SEATTLE, Aug. 14.-Charred
smoldering rubble and melted
metal marked the pyre today
where at least II persons were
consumed in gasoline-fed flames
spewed out from a crashed B-50
Air Force bomber.
Those who lived remembered
the hot breath of death that swept
through a hillside apartment
house into which the medium
bomber plunged yesterday after
noon moments after taking off on
a routine check-out flight.
Dozens of persons in Seattle s
South End industrial section saw
the doomed plane suddenly lose
altitude from TOO feet up and veer
off sharply to the right.
Thought 1t Was Jet.
With its four engines churning
at apparent full power, wing
dipped violently. the B-50 f1icked
against the side of a brewery
then plowed into the frame and
brick Lester Apartments on the
hill behind.
What led to the tragedy was as
yet unknown. But expert observ-
ers believed the pilot, 1t. Lloyd G
Vanderwielen of Seattle, heroic
ally banked his stricken ship
toward the Rainier Valley wall to
spare hundreds of workers in fac
tories below. II is believed 1t
Vanderwielen was trying to crash
land on the tree-covered, sparse
ly-populated bank. the only open
spot for blocks around.
Near Scene of 1943 Crash.
The scene is a short distance
from the spot where a prototype
B-29 crashed into a packing COM
pany plant in 1943, killing 81.
A business man who witnessed
the B-50 disaster, William F.
Schodde, said the bomber was
laboring heavily. nose up and tail
down, in an effort to gain altitude
Then it tipped almost on its side
with engines wide open and
turned into a mass of flame when
it hit.
The noise was so loud

called Fred Prout, who was below
the residential hill. Then I saw
it. the wings at a 90-degree angle
to the ground-straight up and
down" In the next instant it
struck and burst into flames.
Six of the dead were members
of the planes crew-three Air
Force men and three flight
analysts from the nearby Boeing
Airplane Co., maker of the B-50.
The other five known victims were
dwellers in the 49-unit apartment
house whose entire north end was
destroyed.

Mr.. Teitelbaum and Mr.. Bo:d

Hartman Asks Shah
To Urge Moderation
In British Oil Talks
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN. Iran. Aug. IA
American trouble-shooter w. Ave-
rell Hartman called on Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi today to
appeal for continued moderation
in the critical BritiSh-I -Iranian oil
talks.
While President Truman's spe-
Gail envoy met Trans ruler, Pre-
mier M h m m e d MosSadegh
called the cabinet into special
session to discuss the latest Brit
iSh offer to settle the oil national
1zation dispute.
Neither the British nor the
Iranians would disclose the Spe-
ciflc details of the offer, presented
last night by Richard Stokes,
chief British negotiator.
But informed sources said DR..
MosSadegh's first reaction was
GOODNESS toward the British pro-
posal for joint operation of the
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.'S wells and
ref1neries. which Iran nationalized
last spring.
Britain Offers Guarantee.
Mr.. Stokes did reveal that
Britain had offered a guarantee
against any interference in Iran
ian affairs-a sore point on which
extreme nationaliSts have based
heated charges against Britain
during her years of oil operations
In this country.
1t is believed Mr.. Hartman ap-
pealed to the Shah to use his in
ffuence to keep the talks from
breaking down over the delicate
point as to whether British oil
experts should continue to operate
the installations under the new
1ranian National Oil Co.
Britain has renewed her offer
to turn over all assets of the
British-owned AIOC to the Mossa-
degh government and to abolish
AIOC as such in this country
Mr.. Stokes had indicated that
he would agree to Iranian partici-
patton in new nationalized COM
pany. btsS chat British technicians
would insist on working under
British management. Iran-woe-
fully short of technicans-could
not keep the complex operation
going without highly skilled for
eign help.
Critical Decision Faced.
A1OC, as such, will cease to-
operate IN Iran and the company
entire assets in Iran will be trans
ferred to the Iranian government
under compensation ARRANGEMENTS
to be discussed later" Mr.. Stokes
said.
The 1ranians turned down this
same general offer after only 90
minutes of negotiating last June.
That deadlock led to the closing
OF the worlds biggest refneries at
Abadan, Trans Persian Gulf oil
port.
DR.. Mossadegh now faces his
most critical decision. Develop
mentS in the crisis have made it
clear that Iran cannot operate
her rich Oil resources without
Brltaln's help. But Iranian news
papers and political figures have
voiced growing opposition to any
possible backing down from the
original points of the nationaliza-
ton law, which calls for ousting
the British altogether from any
position of oil management in
Iran.

dividual bird Of the floor pen lots
was graded for feathering, fleshing,
fattening and general market grade.
Results Observed
The results of these studies are as
follows:
l. Mortality was lowest in the
chicks started on high energy feed
IN both the battery and floor birds.
2. The smallest weights at 10
weeks for the battery lots and at IL
weeks for the floor pen lots were
the chicks receiving the standard
starting mash throughout the entire
period. The heaviest lot of the floor
pens was the one receiving the high
energy feed throughout, but in the
battery lots the group receiving high
energy during the first six weeks
and then changed to regular for the
last four weeks weighed heaviest.
The floor pen lot fed high energy
feed throughout averaged almost
a of pound more than the lot fed
regular mash throughout.
3. The most efficient gains were
made in the battery in the lot fed
the high energy feed throughout and
the least efficient gain was made on
the regular mash fed throughout.
The least efficient gain in the floor
birds was also on the regular mash,
but there was no significant differ
ence between the lots fed high en-
ergy throughout and the one started
on regular but changed to high
energy for finishing. It required al
most s of a pound more feed to
produce . pound of gain with the
regular mash than it did with the
high energy feed.
4. There was no observable diff
ference IN feathering as observed
when the lots were dressed out.
Both neshing and fattening were
best IN the lots started on the stand
ard college mash and finished or
high energy feed for the last SIX
weeks. Fleshing was second best or
the lot fed high energy throughout
with no significant difference be
tween the other two lots. The most
outstanding pen in general market
grade was the one started on regu-
lar or standard mash but finished
on high energy mash. The poorest
pen was started on high energy and
changed to regular for finishing.
It would appear from these re-
suits that high energy feed should
be used for broiler production, but
that equally good results might be
secured by starting on a regular
mash and changing to high energy
for the last four to six weeks.
