Auto-Theft Suspect
Held in $500 Bond

A man accused of aiding in the
theft of a policeman's automobile
was held for the grand jury today
under $500 bond.
Raymond T. Banks, n, colored,
of the 1900 block Of I street NV.
was charged with unauthorized
use of an automobile. The car
was stolen early Saturday from
Pvt. Herbert c. Wright of 1903
Bryant street NE.

speeding through Arlington and
a 95- 5-mile-an-hour chase by police
followed. The driver, Thomas
Sharpe, %, colored. of 1881 Sixth
street NV. was captured, police
said, but Banks fled and was
picked up later.

with feloniouS assault and posses
sion Of stolen property.
Police said Banks fired three
shots at pursuing patrolmep
Banks denied the accusation when
he appeared before United States
Commissioner Cyril s. Lawrence
today.
Detectives at first believed the
auto may have had some connec-
ton with the $4,000 safe robbery
at the home Of Roger w. (White-
top) Simkins, because 1t was
stolen four blocks from the Sim
kinS home.
However, Inspector E. E. Scott

theft was not connected with the
robbery.

.FTC Decision Bars
Philip Morris Claims

The Federal Trade Commission
differs with the Philip Morris
cigarette claims about the non
irritating qualities Of the product.
Smoke from all cigarettes, in
|cluding Philip Morris. is an irri-
tant," FTC Examiner Earl ]. Kolb
declared Saturday.
An initial decision by the FrC
would prohibit the company from
using advertising which says
Philip Morris cigarettes "are nom
irritating or less irritating than
other brands"
The decision, fled In a proceed
ing against the company, will be-
come final in 80 days unless it is
appealed, or docketed by the COM
mission for review.
Mr.. Kolb also took exception to
the company claims that:
"The superiority Of Philip Nor
ris cigarettes is recognized by emil
nent medical authorities; that
they cause no irritation to the up
lper respiratory tract; that they
give protection from smokers
coughs" and that "other leading
brands are more irritating than
Philip Morris"
Bluntly, Mr.. Kolb says, "the su-
periority Of Philip Morris cigar.

medical authorities.

Expert Safe Men
Escape With $4,000
OF BeIvoir PIX Funds

Burglars who made the job ap-
pear easy took almost $4,000 in
cash from a night depository at
the Fort Belvoir Post Exchange
warehouse early yesterday.
Discovery of the theft by a
PIX employe yesterday morning
brought in agents from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Army's Criminal Investi-
cation division and sent police
lookouts over the Eastern Sea-
board.
Today, the FBI would merely
acknowledge that it was investi-
eating. Earlier. agents had dis
closed that only seven persons
had the combination to the strong
box and indications were that all
seven were either on the reserva-
ton or had been accounted for.
Money in 81 Bags.
The money. in 81 zippered
money bags stamped "F. B. PIX"
or Fort Belvoir PIX" represented
weekend receipts from seven post
exchanges scattered over the camp.
The exact figure was given by the
Belvoir public information Office
as 8,901.6 The loot would
weigh about ITS pounds, officials
said.
There were no marks Of entry
on the safe, indicating the COM
bination was used to open it or
that an expert cracksman was
on the job.
Post Exchange receipts are
normally placed in the depository
"a device similar to that used
by many banks-for the week end
because Belvoir's branch bank
closes at 3 pm. on Friday.
No Guard at Warehouse.
There is no guard stationed at
the warehouse, but q military
police cruiser checks the point
every few hours. The last check
before discovery of the theft had
been made about 3 am, the post
reported.
Investigators found a quarter
inch steel mesh screen cut from
a rear window above q loading
platform. The safe was in an
office behind a locked cashiers
cage. This lock had been opened
with a key.
