10-cent a ton kickback on crushed
rock purchased for road building

Attlee Calls
For FOrmOsa
TOGO ToR Reds
By TOM ocHlLTREE

SCARBOROUGH, England R--
Socialist leader Clement Attlee
opened the annual Labor party
conference today with call for
the delivery of Formosa to the
Chinese Communists and the exil-
ing to safe place" of Nationalist
leader Chang Kai-shek.
The 5000 delegates and alter
mates applauded the former Prime
Minister as he declared also that
the Peiping government must have
China'S seat in the United Nations.
Attlee'S view on China, closely
paralleling those of his left wing
rival Aneurin Bevan, sounded a
note of party unity certain to dis
sipate tomorrow when the confer
ence turns to debate on the issue
of rearming West Germany. Att
lees moderates are for rearma-
ment, Bevan and his folloWes
bitterly opposed.
Attlee called for coexistence be
tween the Communist and non.
Communist worlds but warned the
Reds this could not be done if they
try secretly to overthrow free in
stitutions of other countries. He
also advocated high-level talks
among the great powers.
Attlee set the tone for the par
tvs approach on Red China at a
rally here last night at which he
called for immediate admission OF
the Peiping regime to the United
Nations.

William McCrory of Dade County
said they would leave for Florida
with Roberts Immediately.
Roberts 6-year-old daughter,
Judith Ann, was stolen from the
home of her grandparents in Nj.
ami July Z. Her body was found a
few hours later in a thicket on
Biscayne Bay. She had been beaten
and strangled.
A grand jury returned secret
indictment in Miami last Friday.
Its contents remained a secret un-
til Brautigam made them public
here last evening.
The tWo-count indictment ac-
cused Roberts, John Doe and for
Mary Roe" of premeditated muir
der and IAN attempt to perpetrate
an abominable and detestable
crime against nature or kidnap'
ing"
Others Involved
Brautigam said, 1--WE know there
was at least one other person IN
on this"
Roberts had predicted yesterday
that he was the person named in
the secret indictment. He told a
dozen newsmen gathered outside
his home in Dundalk, another Bal
timore suburb:
''ThiS is some more of their
stupid ways of doing things.
"I've never heard of a prosecu-
tor travelling all that way to make
an arrest. They could have saved
lot of money. All they had to do
was just make a simple telephone
call."'
He has been at odds with Dade
County authorities since shortly
after Judith AIMS body was found.
There were signs of sexual at
tack, but medical authorities testi.
fled at an inquest that these in.
juries could have been inflicted to
make it appear she had been Grim
inally attacked.
Takes Exception
Roberts took exception with the
theory. that the child was not the
victim of a sex maniac.
"The sadistic fiend who raped
and strangled little Judith will
probably be found among their
own pet perverts in Miami who
are treated SO tenderly," Roberts
said.
His daughter was not a healthy
child. Judith Ann had undergone
repeated operations for a growth
in her throat and was scheduled
for another one when the family
suddenly left for Miami on Satur-
day, July 3.
The Roberts have a younger
daughter, 3-year-old Betty, and he
has a 16-year-old son by a previ,
GUS marriage.
Brautigam might have some
questions to answer when he re-
turns to Florida. Acting Gov. Johns
Of Florida has ordered an investi-
CATION of his handling of the case.
The dapperly-dressed Florida
attorney was apologetic last night
about his secretive lodging here.
He said he wanted to check out
