2 Richmonders Held as Brains
Of Clever StoIen-Cur Racket

1t. Williams said the substi-
tuted serial numbers would pass
a visual inspection. But tests
showed the original numbers had
been ground off. This work was
done in various garages in Rich
mond, he added.
Dealer Suspicious.
The break came in the case,
1t. Williams said, when a used
car dealer in Richmond became
suspicious when Durham tried
to sell a car.
1t. Williams said Durham has
been indicted in Arlington and
bond set at $4,000. Bolton is
under arrest in Richmond but
Washington and Arlington police
have filed detainers against him,
he added.

A lucrative stolen-car racket
which used titles of junked
cars to cover up the sale of
the stolen vehicles-haS been
broken, Washington police re-
vealed today.
Two Richmond, Va, men are
under arrest as the brains be-
hind the scheme, 1t. John j.
Williams of the Washington
police auto squad said.
The pair were involved in the
theft and resale of some Is cars
belonging to District residents,
1t. Williams said. An unknown
number of other cars, possibly
running into the dozens, were
stolen from Arlington and Rich
mond, he added.
Joint Police Action.
Cracking of the racket came
after a joint Investigation
by Washington, Arlington and
Richmond police, 1t. Williams
explained.
Under arrest are:
Ralph L. Bolton, 26, charged
with embezzlement and grand
larceny, and Dayton A. Durham,
10, charged with grand larceny.
1t. Williams Illustrated the way
the racket worked by recounting
what happened to a 1858 Pontiac
stolen here recently.
The car was taken to Rich
mond. There a wrecked car of
the same model and make was
purchased from a junk yard for
$1,100.
Ground Of Numbers.
The motor serial numbers OF
the stolen car were ground of
and the serial numbers of the
wrecked car substituted. With
the legal title of the wrecked car,
the stolen car was sold to a used
car dealer for $4,000.
The profit on the transaction
was $1,000. The wrecked car
then was demolished and the
parts sold for further cash.

Soy H-Bomb Makes
Speed Vital in
Relocating Buildings

Congress should appropriate
funds without delay for a COM
prehensive study of new build
ings to replace the Federal tenn
porary office structures here, two
prominent Washington archi-
tects declared today.
They are participating in the
1858 regional conference of the
500 Architects Here for 3-Doy Meeting.
Poee A. 70
Middle Atlantic district of the
American Institute of Architects,
which began today at the Hotel
Statler.
Architects Louis Justement and
Julian E. Berla, interviewed on
the problem of eliminating tenn
porary buildings, said the hydro
gen bomb poses a new problem
and warrants a thoroughgoing
study into locating new buildings
at a safe distance but in the
vicinity of the National Capital.
Eventual Action Seen.
They declined to say how much
money should be made available
for the study. But both said it
will have to be made eventually,
and by making it now the tax
payers will be saved millions of
dollars and many mistakes.
Mr.. JuStement said:
"AS architects wer certainly
concur in the action taken by the
Ala at its Seattle meeting in
comdemning the temporary
buildings here. But the whole
problem resolves itself into a
question of timing. With the
present need for spending money
for national defense, prospects
of getting a lot of money for
new buildings in Washington
seem decidedly dim.
But realistically, che thing
could be done nova real study
of where you are going to locate
new buildings to take the place
Of the temporary buildings.
This would permit acquisi-
ton of sites for a relatively
small amount and would solve
other problems in city planning
relating to highways, bridges
and other traffic considerations.
The bulk of the people now in
the temporary buildings would
probably be located out of the
downtown area. That would
completely revolutionize our
traffic pattern"
Realistic Attitude Urged.
Mr.. Berla declared: 1T seems
to me to be completely unreal
iStic to spend a large sum of
money on a city plan and not
take into account how long the
present buildings would remain
or to attempt to fit into a COM
prehensive city plan these tenn
porary buildings which have no
place in such a plan. Certainly
the removal of the people now
in the temporary buildings would
affect traffic and other consid-
erationS.
Everybody is talking about
dispersion of public buildings,
but nobody is doing anything
about it as a protection from
enemy attack by air on Wash
ington.
Such a study cannot be made
on a District of Columbia basis
alone. 1t is a regional problem.
You must go out a radius of 20
or Is miles at a minimum"

U. S. Revomps War Strategy,
Would 7 ny to Limit Atomic
Attacks to Military Targets
Use Of A-Weopons
Held Certain in Koreu
If Conflict Resumes
BY Crosby S. Noyes

If war comes, the United
States will try to limit its use of
atomic weapons to military
rather than civilian targets, &C
cording to present top-level
thinking in the Pentagon.
This revolutionary change in
American military strategy
means that the a-bomb would
not be used against cities unless
the Russians used it first, or ex-
cept as last resort if the alterna-
tive were defeat in an about
war.
1t also means that tactical
atomic weapons will be used
wherever militarily practical
including Korea if fighting
breaks out again there. "Tacti-
cal" weapons, as opposed to
strategic" weapons, are en-
ployed against troops in the
field.
Two Considerations Listed.
These facts were disclosed to-
day by an authoritative civilian
source in the Defense establish
ment. Behind them lie two con-
EiderationS:
l. The rapid development of
atomic weapons designed for
limited, tactical use.
2. The discovery of how far
the Russians have progressed in
their own atomic development
and their ability to retaliate to
strategic atomic attacks by hit
ting back at our cities.
American strategy hitherto has
been based on the premise that
further Communist aggression
in any vital strategic area of
the world would mean "all-out
war" with the United States.
Big Punch Diminishing.
Until now, "all-out war" has
meant just one thing-attack
by the United States Strategic
Air Force on enemy cities. Since
1945, this has been the big punch
on which American military
power depended. 1t was relied
on as the only force holding ex-
pansioniSt Communism in check.
Now, the bombing of cities
is no longer the only big punch.
Strategic air wal still remains
the ultimate threat. But before
it would be resorted to, every
effort would be made to limit the
use of atomic weapons to attacks
on troop concentrations and
supply points.
The leaders are satifed this is
the correct strategy in the case
of any aggression not immedi-
ately threatening areas abSo-
lutely vital to American strategic
interests. More Red aggressions
of the fringe" type-like the
war in Korea-would surely be
handled on this basis.
Western Europe Is Problem.
There is more question about
what would happen if the Rus
slams went for the jackpot and
struck at Western Europe. 1t is
not believed that Western Eu-
rope could be defended today by
the use of tactical atomic weap-
onS alone. Neither is it believed
that the United States could,
under any circumstances, afford
to see Western Europe fall into
Communist hands.
Nevertheless, the use of tao
tical atom bombs would GER
tainly be tried first there.
Employment of atomic weapon
on a tactical basis in Korea has
long been argued by high civilian
officials in the P~entagon. It is
probable that they would have
been used long ago, if develop
ment of the small bang" atomic
artillery weapon had come sooner
than it did. BY the time atomic
artillery became available the
war had reached a relatively
static stage and well dug-in

After my boy noticed that most dollar bills are
marked Series 1885, went to the US Treasury to
find out why. Well it seems that the number of dollar
bills in circulation as Of January 81, 1953 totaled
1,1560OO,O00. All but about :, 100000 were Silver
Certificates of the 1895 SERIES The 100000 included
Silver Certificates of other series than 1885, Treasury
notes. United States notes and certain bank notes.
The date Series 1885 (aone or followed by A, B,C,
D or e. doesn't mean that the bill was issued that
year. The 81 Silver Certificate changes its year date
only when there has been change in the size design
Of the bill. 1t changes the following letter wherever
anew signature comes on the bill. Most common ones
today are 1935D, with the signatures Georgia Neese
Clark, Treasurer, and John w. Snyder, Secretary of
the Treasury. because there was vast increase IN
the number of bills issued during their service.

lIR average dollar bill wears out in seven months
and the old ones are forwarded by the banks for re-
