settlement. Mr.. Bevan'S pro-
posal Is that Germany be re-
united by free elections under
the four occupying powers, be
: neutralized. and a German
Peace Treaty be postponed,
along with rearmament, for
another 10 years. all four
powers remaining in occupa-
ton to prevent German re-
armament for that period.
1t is wearisome to interpolate
that although the Russians
are obligated under existing
agreements not to rearm Ger
many. they have long since
set up a German armed force

Mr.. Bevan expect them to dis
solve it. or does he wish to

Three coolheaded bandits walked
into the Wiss jewelry store in
downtown Newark today, held
20 employees at bay with their
guns and escaped with $4,000
in diamonds.
The store faces Military Park
and is on one of the busiest
thoroughfares in Newark.
The trio, their faces covered
by handkerchiefs, entered the
store about 800 am. (EST)
shortly after the vault had been
opened to bring out the jewelry
to go on display.

20 employees, one of the bandits
calmly walked to central show

diamonds in sight. They left
behind pins, bracelets, rings and
the like, taking only unmounted
stones.
Then they darted out, crossed
Broad Street into the park, and
disappeared around the corner
OF a monument. No getaway car
was seen.
Police arrived within minutes,
but the trio made a clean get

II. Japanese scientists delved
actively into atomic energy. The
scientists included DR.. Hideki

mostly theoretical.
The allied occupation pro-

dumped two cyclotrons in the

if she likes.
Opinions of eight scientists to-
