Sen. Williams Gives The
COP 4 NeLU Symbol
At Local Meet
Continued from first pnrsn


so as to cover up a shortage of
over $95O,OOO.OOO. He told of how
his charges were first ridiculed and
then ignored by the Democratic
Administration, and advised that
the present administration had con-
tlnued to refuse to cooperate
even after the guilt of the grafters
and racketeers had been proven.
Delaware's senior senator told
his audience that it was the sup
port and encouragement of the
people back home, people who
believed in sane and honest gov
ernment, that had enabled him to
carry on his investigations and to
continue to expose irregularities
in the operation of such govern
ment agencies and bureaus as the
internal Revenue Bureau, Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, and
the Commodity Credit Corporation.
Senator Williams pointed out that
many Democrats are disgusted with
the mess at Washington" and
want a cleanup, but that they
can't get a cleanup from their
present leadership; for this and
other reasons, "the Democrat Par
ty has forfeited it's right to a four
year extension of CONTROL" ac-
cOrding to Williams.
Herbert w. Warburton, young
Wilmington attorney seeking cleo
ton to the Congressional seat be-
ing vacated by U. S. Representa-
tive J. Caleb BOggs, lashed out at
Joseph Scannell, Democrat con-
gressiOnal candidate, stating that
Scannell, in proclaiming himself a
New Deal, Fair Deal Boy, was
actually endorsing the "bungling
of the Truman Administration"
and, in so doing, must share i'll
the responsibility for the mess we
are in today" Mr.. WarburtOn went
on to say that Scannelrs statement,
This is an era of prosperity, was
worth about SO cents, which is. he
stated, lust about what the Tru-
man Dollar is worth today. Mr..
WarburtOn concluded his remarks
by telling his audience that, i f
elected, he would listen to the
people" and carry out, to the best
Of his ability, their wishes instead
of trying to tell the people what
is best for them.
The G. O.. p. candidates for gov
ernOr, state treasurer, and state
auditor were also introduced and
spoke briefly. Congressman Boggs,
the party's candidate for governor
had to leave early in order to keep
a speaking engagement in Dover
and confined his remarks to ex-
preston Of appreciation of the
outstanding efforts of Republi-
can workers, from one end of the
state to the other, is taking the
issues to the people" Clarence
Collins, young Smyrna veteran and
businessman, who is the Republi-
can candidate for state treasurer
praised the activity and interest OF
the many young people now join
ing in the crusade for better gov
ernment". G.. Dan Enterline. Dover
businessman, seeking recollection
to the office of auditor of accounts
complimented the women present
upon their interest and activity
and expressed the hope that the

ton is that "non-resistance''

power by peaceful means and the
entrenched capitalistic form of
government resisted it through
force.
Only Permissible Violence.

ArInored Car Bandits
sy the Assoeioisd Press

DANVERS. Mass, Mar. 27.--
FBI agents today began q round-
up of all former employees of the
United States Trucking Corp, one
of whose armored trucks was
robbed of $681 900 in Danvers
Square Tuesday while its three
guards slipped coffee about 20 feet
away.
The Federal Bureau of InveS-
tigation maintained an official
silence on. the matter but the
information was divulged by a
source close to the investigation.
The source, who asked that his
name not be used, said he be-
lieves the FBI hopes to determine
if one of the former employees
kept a key to the truck when he
left the employ Of the arTnored
car service or divulged how a key
could be obtained.
At the same time. Boston po-
lice swooped down on all known
gangsters - ''petty and big-time
alike"-and made them account
for their time Tuesday forenoon.
Keys Kept in Drawer.
Boston police took that action
after it was revealed the keys to
the company's armored trucks
were kept in an unlocked drawer
just inside the entrance of a ga
rage in Boston's North End.
Some police officers have ex-
pressed the opinion there might
be a connection between the ar
mored car robbery and the still
unsoIved $1.219,000 Drinks head
quarters robbery on January II.
1850.
The U. S. Trucking Corps ar
mored trucks are kept in the same
waterfront garage that houses
Drinks Boston headquarters.
The Danvers robbery is believed
to involve the second biggest cash
haul in United States crime his
tory. The biggest Is listed as the
Drinks robbery.
Surpasses 1884 Haul.
The Danvers robbery is also be-
lieved to be the biggest involving
an armored car, surprising the
1884 haul from Brooklyn IN. "
,armored car by $254,000.
Officials of the U. S. Trucking
Corp. confirmed that duplicate
keys to all nine of its armored
cars are kept in an unlocked
drawer just inside the door of the
Boston garage.
Authorities are proceeding on
the theory that the robbers had
a key to the armored vehicle be-
cause there was no sign the ONLY
door which could be opened from
the outside had been forced.
The three men assigned to the
car insist they had locked the
door before they parked the car
at the curb and stepped into a
drugstore for midmorning coffee.

This came out today In q list
of routine orders transferring Of

The Navy both In its own re-
search program and In collahora-
sion with the other armed forces,
has for several years been train
ing a relatively small number of
technicians for development work.
But to be ready with the thou
sands Of officers and enlisted men
needed when the new weapons be-
gin reaching the feet for opera
iional use. it is opening guided
missile training schools.
While officials did not specify
where unit No. 81 is located, a
large part Of the Navy's missile
program is centered at Point
Mugu, Calf, the over-water test
ing area. However. the Navy also
carries on extensive operations

ings from the former seaplane

To do so, witnesses and attor-

1000 in CIA Insured.
It developed. according to Gen.
|eral Manager Stacey K. Beebe,
that about 1000 of the associa-
tion's members are agents of the
Governments hush-hush Central
Intelligence Agency.
Displaying visible uneasiness
about letting out this particular
piece of news at a public hearing
Mr.. Beebe confided to the board
|tnat the C1A people are known in
association records only by a code
system, to screen their identity.
Many of these individuals are
behind the Iron Curtain" he de-
fc]ared. reluctantly adding that
about 100000 year in insurance
premiums comes from this source
Attorney James C. Wilkes took
up the argument by pointing out
that the CIA employees, along with
some $500 other Federal workers,
join the association and buy its
insurance because no commercial
insurance firm is willing to assume
the risks
Mr.. Wilkes explained that the
hazards of overseas civilian duty
nowadays put many workers in
the position of being unable to
buy new insurance and of finding
their old policies contain reStric-
tive clauses.
Low Mortality Rate.
The association, he went on, fills
the gap by providing policies that
have liberal death and disability
benefits at premiums lower than
those of commercial companies.
Even so, owing to low mortality
rate among the membership, the
association has accumulated ar
1894. 900 earned surplus. Manager
Beebe explained that part Of the
surplus is plowed back into the
membership in the form of addi-
tional insurance benefits.
Two witnesses, widows OF Fed.
eral overseas workers killed in ar
airplane crash. testified they eacf
received $4,000 in death benefits
although premiums had been fol
only about half that amount.
Testifying further on the phi
lanthropy point, Mr.. Beebe pointed
out that. since its founding. th'
association has been using Fedora
space rent-free for its Offices. HI
said the Government, hence tn,
general public, benefits in th'
long run. because. assured Of in
surance coverage, many Fedora
