After Police Halt Car On Bill 10 Allow Sale
And Find Sack Of Cash0f Drinks on Credit

A tightening chain of events
sent an Armed Forces policeman
and two friends to Jail last night
Is minutes after he allegedly
slipped into civilian clothes to
stage a 1898 holdup.
Despite the ruse, Sergt. Carl M.
jackson, 81, colored, was arrested
in his automobile, again dressed
in uniform, and within minutes
was charged with robbery of the
National Truck Rental Co., 2316
Georgia avenue NV.
His companions. Pfc. Richard
c. Saunders, 81, colored, stationed
at Boiling Air Force Base, and
John r. Reid, %. colored, of the
1900 block of G street NE, were
charged with the same offense.
Reid was employed at the rental
agency as a garage helper.
Capt. Edgar E. Scott of the
Robbery Squad said the three adj
mitted planning the holdup yes

at the Navy Yard.
Hands Victim Paper Bag.
Joseph H. Wheeler, 48, of 5316
Edmunds place NV. manager
of the truck company and a
former Metropolitan Police ser
geant, was alone in the Office when
a man entered, pointed a SO cali
Der automatic and handed him a
paper bag.
Fill it up with money. put 1t
on the counter and lie on the
floor" the gunman demanded.
Mr.. Wheeler complied, but later
lost no time calling police and
describing the robber as wearing
gray clothes.
That's what police were look
ing for until Corpl. John c. Glib
honey of the 18th Precinct en-
|countered four children at Eighth
street and Barry place NV, who
told of three soldiers in a con-
vertible which nearly ran them
down.
Another police lookout, this time
for the three soldiers. At Mount
Olivet street and Bladensburg road
NE, Motorcycle Policeman Fred
Ellinger, jr., 25, spotted three
soldiers in convertible.
Pvt. Ellinger followed them to
Seventeenth and L streets NE,
and then stopped the car. He de-
manded to see a driving permit
so the driver unlocked a glove
compartment. Protruding was a
paper bag-the driver said it con-
tanned food.
I But the policeman wanted to
see more, and told the driver to
hand it over, slowly. If it was
food, it was lettuce" the folding
kind.
Pvt. Ellinger, with drawn re-
volver. ordered the three out and
told them to lie on the ground.
A passing motorist called addi-
tional police help.
Automatic Found In Car.
Police found a .38 caliber auto
matte in the folds of the lowered
car top and said Sergt. Jackson ad-
mitted it was his personal gun.
Capt. Scott said the Armed
Forces policeman had slipped civil

fore the holdup. To complicate
things another of the trio. Reid. is

The japanese people since the
war have undergone the greatest
reformation recorded in modern
history. With q con1mendable
will, eagerness to learn, and
marked capacity to understand,
they have from the ashes left

AN edifice dedicated to the su-
premacy of individual liberty
and personal liberty, and in the
ensuing process there has been

Politically, economically and
socially Japan is now abreast of
many free nations of the earth
and will not again fail the uni
verSal trust. That it may be
counted on to WELD profound
ly beneficial influence over the
course of events in Asia is at
tested by the magnificent man

pie have met the recent chal-

fusion surrounding them from
the outside, and checked COM
munism within their own FROM

resulting power vacuum upon
Japan. The results fully justi-

nor in which higher hopes can
be entertained for future con-

A Christian nation, the Phil

bulwark Of Christianity in the
Far East, and its capacity for
high moral leadership in Asia
is unlimited.
The government of the Re-
public of China has had the
opportunity to refute by action
much of the malicious gossip
which so undermined the
strength Of its leadership on
the Chinese mainland Zap

are receiving a just and en-
lightened administration with
majority representation in the
organs of government, and po-

advancing along sound and

With this brief insight into
the surrounding areas, now
turn to the Korean conflict.
While I was not consulted
prior to the Presidents decision
to intervene in support of the
Republic of Korea, that decision,
from a military standpoint,
proved a sound one. (Applausep

To understand the changes
which now appear upon the
Chinese mainland, one must
understand the changes in Chi
neSe character and culture over
the past so Years. China up to
so years ago was completely
non-homogenous, being COM
partmented into groups divided
against each other. The war
making tendency was almost
non-existent as they still fol-
lowed the tenets of the Con-
fucian ideal of pacif1st culture.
At the turn of the century eff
forts for greater homogenity
produced the start of a national
ist urge. This was further and
more successfully developed
under the leadership of Chang
Kai-shek, but has been brought
to its greatest fruition under the
present regime to the point that
1t has now taken on the char
acter of a united nationalism of
increasingly dominant aggres-
sive tendencies.
Chinese Become Militarized.
Through the past so years the
Chinese people have thus be-
come militarized in their con-
cepts and in their ideals. They
now constitute excellent SOL
diers, with competent staffs and
commanders. This has pro-
duced a new and dominant
power in Asia, which, for it's
own purposes, is allied with So
Wet Russia but which in it's own
concepts and methods has be-
come aggressively imperialistic
(applause), with a lust for ex-
pansion and increased power
normal to this type of imperial
ism.
There is little of the ideofogi-
cal concept either. one way or
another in the Chinese makeup.
The standard of living is so low
and the capital accumulation
has been so thoroughly dissi-
pated by war that the masses
are desperate and eager to fol-
low any leadership which seems
to promise the alienation Of
Woeful stringencies.
have from the beginning be-
lieved that the Chinese Com
munist's support of the North
Koreans was the dominant one.
Their interests are at present
parallel with those of the So
Wet, but I believe that the ag-
gressiveness recently displayed
not only in Korea but also in
Indo-C China and Tibet and
pointing potentially toward the
south reflects predominantly
the same lust for the expansion
Of power which has animated
every would-be conqueror since
