Not a Republican bigwig, nor

the Robert Guggenheims' huge
party yesterday afternoon. but
simply the brilliant daffodilS

lawn of Firenze.
The size or Firenze. the Gug-
genheims' estate, with its dis
tant tree-bounded vistaS, I'M
blemished by any other signs
of civilization though situated
in the middle of the city, is a
never ending source of wonder
ment to its visitors. Yesterday
its velvety, green reaches were
blessed with sunshine and, as
if arranged by the hosts, red
breasted robins skipped about
on the grass for the benefit of
the onlookerS. {
To greet their several hun

stood in the great hall of their
Tudor mansion that was SO
filled with the fragrance of
flowers that it was the most
noticeable thing upon enter
ing the room. Polly received
in a short, pink and blue flow
cred taffeta dress.
While it was still warm
enough guests stood out on the
flagstone terrace, that opens
of every room on the first
floor, to admire the view. Even
more interesting to them than
the view at one point was the
picture Of two prominent Re
publican Senators walking
down from the terrace and
onto the lawn to a safe dis
tance Of over 100 feet from the
crowd to talk over what must
have been high level strategy.
The two Senators-Saltonstall

to be greeted by numerous
pleasant remarks that limited

been talking about. That's one

McNally said the search included
places where a body might be
dumped"
Chief Touhy said he didn't be-
lieve that Mr.. Graver was
wealthy enough for a kidnapping
for ransom. He said the abduc-
tion "dpes not bear the aspects
of a mere kidnapping for rob-
berry,"
The FBI was alerted in case a
Federal violation is found in the
kidnapping.
Mr.. Graver was seized as he
came from the garage-about a
half block from his home at 976
West Eighteenth place. He strug-
gled with his abductors but they
forced him into their car and
drove away.
On his way to his garage, Mr..

Raised by Czechs in
Riot-Ridden Town
BY the Assoeioted Press

VIENNA, Austria. June Ia
Authoritative reports reaching
the west yesterday from Czecho-
slovakia said that Communist
led country has been shaken by
riots. large-scale walkouts and
showdown strikes following q
drastic currency reform. Rioting
workers in PilSen were said to
have raised the American nag
and pillaged the town hall.
The reports were partly con-
firmed by the Pilsen newspaper
Pravda which said the demon
strations in that city we're aimed
at "overthrowing the Communist
regime" It reported that the
demonstrators trampled pictures
of Stain and the late Czech
president, Klement Gottwald.
Armed Patrols at Pilsen.
A "non-refugee eyewitness
source" quoted by Radio Free
Europe said that as late as last
Friday. police, militiamen and
soldiers still patrolled Pilsen.
Machineguns were mounted at
strategic points.

on showdown strikes in such in
duStrial cities as Koprivinca,
Novy Jicin. Prague, Velke Opice
and Pilsen.
One report quoted by the sta
ton said that miners at Ostrava
beat a woman member of the
Czech militia to death after mill
itia units had killed three strik-
ing workers. Communist func-
tionaries among the workers re-
portedly threw their party badges
to the ground.
Millions Lose Savings.
The troubles followed a gov
eminent order calling in old cur
rency and issuing new money
based on the Russian ruble.
Every Czech was obliged to ex-
change his money at the rate of
to so crowns for one new one,
thus robbing millions of their
savings.
Accounts of the Pilsen rioting,
reaching Vienna from reliable
sources, said workers at the giant
Skoda armaments plant began
demonstrating June 1.-The Mon
day following the weekend cur
rency announcement.
Raising the Stars and Stripes,
the reports said, the workers
stormed the town hall, tore down
pictures of Communist heroes
and burned the city's archives.
They also repeatedly destroyed
large amounts of machinery in
the armament plant.
The rioting lasted until June S
and was ended only when extra

Pressure on Swiss

BY ths Assoeiated Press
The State Department says
that without applying pressure
it asked Switzerland to recon-
slider her refusal to serve on a

Switzerland at first refused to
serve unless South Korea pledged

to reconsider.
He said the initial refusal

that all this Government had
