Several times Mr.. Hoffman in
dicated he was not satisfied with

Hoffman said he had no legal
power as Governor to stay the
execution further.
Believed Kidnaper Had Help.
On March /, 1852, the 20th
anniversary of the Mndbergh
kidnapping, Mr.. Hoffman told an
interviewer: c.s d,
"I believe that the, crime was
committed by more than one
person. I believe it would have
been difficult TO-. execute that
crime without the assistance of
some one who was inside either
the Lindbergh or the Morrow
household.
st believe that the police
once Hauptmann had been ap-
pretended and the lone wolf pat
tern of prosecution was decided
upon-not only failed to make.
but made every effort to hinder.
further investigation that might
have brought others to the bar
of justice"
AS Governor, Mr.. Hoffman
charged the Lindbergh investi-
cation had been "bungled" and
fired H Norman Schwartzkopf
then head of the State police.
Col. Schwartzkopf returned to
the State service several years
ago and. as administrative direc-
tor of the State Department of

statement unless the mem
ber was considered a security
risk" Mr.. Cole asserted:
That's conceivable and it's
just that situation I have in
mind"
He explained that some men,
berS of the commission may have
good reason to believe that one
of their associates is a security
risk and would want to shut him
of from certain information
while a determination was made.
Tighter Tension Reported.
Commissioner Smyth, whose
six years as an Acc member
make him oldest in point of
service. testified that tension
within the commission has be-
come a little greater" under
Admiral Strauss Craftsmanship.
Il have a feeling, I am sorry
to say, that the present chair
man has not had as much con-
fidence in me as former chair
men (have had)," he said.
The author Of the famous So
called "Smyth Report" on atomic
energy. said that recent difficult
ties within the commission had
been greatly exaggerated in the
press at times"
Under questioning by Mr.. Holi-
field, both DR.. Smyth and Mr..
Murray testified that they had
not been consulted beforehand
on two recent major atomic an
nouncements and added that
they had not been invited to go
to the White House in about a
year to discuss atomic matters.
The atomic announcements
they referred to were President
Eisenhower's press conference

quate size, and Admiral Strauss

CAIRO, June 5.-You squeeze
painfully down, feet first.
through a narrow gap hacked
out between precariously bal
anced boulders. You slip and
slide down crumbling shale into
a hot rock-strewn chamber
carved out of solid limestone 130
feet below ground.
Then you see it cleaning in
the rays of an oil lantern-a
single large block of polished
reddish gold alabaster, lying
slightly tilted sideways among
heaps of fallen rock.
It is the dream of every
archeologiSt an untouched
SarcophaguS of one of Egypt'S
ancient Pharaohs.
In the hot. pressing silence Of
the underground tomb you can
almost see the ghosts of CEN
turies old dead in the shadows
as you walk carefully up to the
plainly cut alabaster block.
What is inside? Is its arche-
ologist-discoverer right when he
says it must contain a golden
coffin enclosing the jewel-decked
mummy of a majestic Pharaoh
who ruled the Nile valley some
4,700 years ago?
That is what it feels like to be
one of the first to enter the long
hidden funeral chamber deep
under the ruins of the pyramid
discovered this week near SAG

erwise. He said that there had

Admiral Strauss denied this
charge. He pointed out that the
Commission operates by a ma
jority vote and that over the
past 10 months since he assumed
the Craftsmanship there have
been only about six split de-
cisions. He added that he some
times found himself in the mi

The O5,000 .shares sold rep
resent 26.250 old shares of Cap
ital Transit before a 4-for-1
splitup arranged after the Wolf
son group took over. The Flor
idians paid $40 a share for the
old stock or $525,000
Allowing for the split up and
a special dividend Of $3.50 on
new stock, the Wolfson group
declared the following dividends
on the shares, assuming they
were part of the original hold
ings taken over in 1949: $13,125
in 1949, $78,75O in 1850, $1O7, 300

This does not include unreal

ass, 900 shares Mr.. Gerbert said
are still held by the Wolfson

In discussing the sale Mr..
Wolfson left all details to Mr..

The Public Utilities Commits
sion at present is engaged in q
study of company financial pol

attempt to determine whether
excessive dividends have been
paid. Pending completion of the
study. the commission has pro-
hibited further payment of divi-
dends.
AS q result, the company has
declared but not paid two quar-
terly dividends so far this year,
amounting to $384,000 each. It
has asked the United States

the Court Of Appeals upholding

The Wolfson group has stead

Both of the teams are un-

The Browards, still stinging un-
der a defeat pinned on their var

The Conchs are just as deter

Coach Walter Chwalik, who leans
to the same sort of single wing of
fense that has propelled the Key
West varsity so far along the state
gridiron trial, will rely on power
and speed to maintain the Conchs
unbeaten record.
