when he found the suit case con-

Ashley, who lives in the Hunters

He was poking in debris along

Instead Of hub caps, Ashley
spotted the suitcase that looked

NEAR THE BURMESE BOR-
DER IN NORTHERN THAIL.AND
Mar. 8 Chinese Nationalist
troops who have taken refuge ir
Northeastern Burma are being
supplied regularly through an
opium-for-guns smuggling ar
rangement in Thailand.
This correspondent spent five
days looking around the area ex-
tending from Chang Mai IS miles
to the north and within 10 to 20
miles east Of the Burmese border.
Sources in most cases cannot be
identified for publication, but
they include teachers, mission
aries. official foreign observers.
leading merchants, local newsmen.
army officers, senior Thai civil
servants and police officials.
Colonel Is Go-Between.
Although their information
varied in detail it outlined a gen.
eral pattern strongly supported by
evidence which could be observed
This is how the barter arrange
ment works:
A Chinese posing as a merchant
but reported to be a Nationalist
army colonel, maintains head
quarters in Chang Mai as the link
between the Chinese Embassy in
BANGKOK. Thailand's capital, and
the Nationalists in Burma,
His job is to funnel supplies
received from Bangkok by air and
rail. as well as locally produced
food and clothing, across the bor-
der. He has several assistants.
In exchange the Chinese Ma
tlonalists in Burma send raw
opium to Chang Mai for forward
ing to Bangkok and onward. The
opium is grown in Burma's Shan
states and the Yunnan Province
OF China. It long has been an
though illicit industry
In this part Of the country.
Troops Are Hungry.
Since 1949 it has been stimu-
lated by the presence of about
10000 ill-equipped and hungry
Chinese Nationalist forces who
were pushed over the Burma bor-
der by the Chinese Reds.
These troops have been a source
OF acute anxiety to the Burmese
and Thailand people and the gov
ernments of the United States and
Britain.
The Russian and Chinese Conn
munist governments have accused
the United States Of helping SUD-
ply and reinforce them with troops
flown from Formosa, and have
charged that an act Of aggression
against Communist China was
being prepared in Southeast Asia.
Burma fears the situation will
lead to trouble with Red China.

said.
The Communist backdown on

during the staff officers meeting
on truce supervision. Friday the
Reds asked to delete the word

being taken to Mr.. Kings Office.
When word of the suitcase dis
covery was carried on q police
radio system, the FBI agents de-
toured to the Groveton police sta
tion. They confronted Sergt.
klow with the stacks of money
and he admitted the burglary, the
FBI said.
$39,471 Accounted For.
The investigators said the mon
ley in the suitcase brought to
$39,471 the amount of the stolen
money which has been accounted
for. They said Sergt. Klow ad-
mitted burning $4,000 worth of
checks.
The Army spokesman said the
soldier confessed to an earlier
robbery at Fort Belvoir. In this
instance about $4,000 worth of
gold foil was stolen from the
post dental Office.
Sergt. Klow also admitted that
two pistols found in the suitcase
were his, the FBI said.
The FBI said Klow has twice
been convicted in New York for
burglary and served time in Sing
Sing Prison. They said that
Mobley has a conviction for auto
mobile theft in South Carolina.
The stolen money was contained
in 81 Upper bags, which had been
stored in the safe of the Post Ex-
change. It comprised receipts
from the Post Exchange stores,
snack bars, service stations, barber
shops and bowling alleys.

it with a blanket. He drove
straight home, jumped from the
car and ran to the house with
the Satchel.
Ashley and his brother-in-law
and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. Sammy
Hopkins, counted one of the
stacks Of money. There was 1,0OC
in the stack in $40, $40 and S.
bills. Mr.. Hopkins checked and
found both pistols were loaded
The suitcase contained a total
of $36,471.
Wanted Mother to See Money.
They decided to call the Fair
fax County police substation at
Groveton and four policemen ar
rived at the house in q matter of
minutes.
Police took Ashley, the suitcase
and the money to the Groveton
substation. They later took Ashley
home. He wanted his mother to
see all the money he found, and
took her back to the Substation.
But the money already had been
turned over to Federal officers.
Il guess I could have built a
house for nom and bought a new
car for myself" unused Ashley.
He said he was glad he turned
the money in, though. After all,
police said he might get a reward.

BERN, Switzerland, Mar. ga
twin-engined United States Air
Force transport plane crashed into
q blizzard-hidden glacier on the
side Of the famed Jungfrau peak
at twilight yesterday with eight
persons reported aboard.
The Swiss Air Office said there
was little hope any occupant of

ragged about the peak.
An army officer sighted the
wreckage from the Jungfrau hotel

1el on the mountain. Much of the
wreckage is covered, the officer re-
ported after scanning the scene
with binoculars.
Rescuers set out at once under
the direction of DR.. Adolf Widmer
OF the Swiss federal office. They
expected to make only slow prog
ress through the mile-a-minute
bli2zards across deep snow, which
Is subject to dangerous avalanches.
The rescuers said they expected
the trip to the plane would take
at least four hours. even under
good conditions.
Sergt. Klow was regarded as
q "quiet and conscientious" SOL
dier, the Army spokesman said.
The sergeant'S personnel record
shows he once signed an Army
statement to the effect that he
never had been convicted of a
felony. He was assigned to issue
