Mills Guilty,
Reiner Free in
Safecracking
Wussermun Link
Was Deliberate Lie,
Prosecutor Says

Arthur A. Mills, 81, OF New
York, today was found guilty OF
housebreaking and grand larceny
charges involving a $23.7 safe
cracking at Georges Radio and
Television Co.. Inc. $50 F street
NV. last Labor Day weekend.
A co-defendant, Frederick
Reiner, 81. also of New York, was
acquitted of both counts. The
verdict was returned by a jury
in the U. s. District Court for
the District Of Columbia at 1885
am.
Mills had testified that George
Wasserman, president of the ra-
7dio and teleyision firm, and a
mysterious blond had hired him
to loot the safe.
After the verdict today, Prose
cutor Arthur Mclaughlin told
reporters that he believed Mills
accusation against Mr.. Wasser-
man was "a deliberate lie calcu-
lated to unjustly smear Mr.. Was
serman's reputation" Mr.. Nc
Laughlin declared "the jury's
verdict bears this out"
Mills will be sentenced later,
Maximum penalty for the Of
fenses Of which he was con-
victed is eight years and four
months to 25 years. The jury,
which received the case yester-
day. deliberated about five and
a half hours before returning
the verdict in the courtroom OF
Judge Edward NJ. Curran.
Mills was defended by At
torney John Dwyer. Attorney
H. Clifford Alder represented
Reiner.
Mills took the stand and ad-
mitted ripping open the. safe.
However, he says he got only
$500 in $40 bills instead Of the
$500 ne expected.
Reiner Densrs Charge.
Reiner did not take the stand
and steadfastly denied any con-
nection with the safecracking,
Mills told the jury of his as
sociation with the woman known
as Helen Elizabeth Long. 28. be-
lieved to be from Philadelphia
He said the woman told him she
was keeping company with q
Washington businessman, 'whc
wanted a safe robbed" /"
Eventually, he asserted, he
met the man In a Times Square,
New York, tavern and the deal
was consummated. He identi-
fed the businessman as Mr.
Wasserman.
Mr.. Wasserman emphatically
denied the assertions. He re-
quested a lie detector test in
yolying himself, Mills, and the
latters lawyer to determine who
was telling the truth.
Test Refused.
Judge Curran declined tC
order it on the ground such
evidence could not be presented
to jury.
Mr.. Wasserrnan also testified
that $40, 1000 in company funds
and $500 in jewelry. his per-
sonal property, was in the safe,
instead Of the $500 claimed by
Mills.
The ex-convict has insisted he
was let into the 8th-floor Office
owned BY Mr.. Wasserman on T
street NV. by Helen Long, who
produced a set Of keys that fit
the office door.
Reiner, whom Mr.. Mclaughlin
admitted could not be placed In
Washington at the time Of the
crime. was linked to the robbery
by the fact a drag" used in
safe crackings was found in his
possession.
The drag. an FBI expert testi-
fed, was the same one used to
rip Of the handle Of the strong
box in the appliance store Office.

On the Senate side. Chairman
Kilgore Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee has co-sponsored q
concurrent resolution to invite
the Chief Justice to address the
Congress. Senator Kilgore pre-
dicted early hearings and said
he anticipated no objections.
Resolution Not Discussed.
After q closed meeting Of the
House Judiciary Committee to-
day. Mr.. Celler was asked II the
committee had discussed the
Joint resolution introduced by
Representative Heating, Repub-
lican of New York. for the Chief
Justice to address a Joint session.
Mr.. Celler said the resolution
had not been discussed and then
went on to say why he OPP
posed it,.
Whats the purpose Of all
this?" he asked. Its purely
political because it could be an
attempt to build up the Chief
Justice politically. I don't think
we should put the Chief Justice
in the position where people
might impute a political motive
to him.
He also contended If the Chief
Justice appeared before Congress
in behalf of the judiciary he
would be placed in the position
Of an advocate and no Chief JUS

Others Could Appear.

He also said that II the Chief
Justice wanted to come before

set forth his views on the judi
ciary, he would be welcome to do
so. But Mr.. Celler said he saw
no need for that either because

Formosa are subject to an almost
complete news blackout under
Navy censorship.
The Navy's restrictions forbid
any news story touching on
fleet movements. size. disposi-
tion, intentions or possible

These restrictions have been
applied so broadly and severely
as to withhold anything but q
trickle Of minor feature stories.
The Navy insists the restric-
tions are not censorship. How
ever, the restrictions are actu-
ally q censorship much tighter
than any formal censorship
applied by the United Nations
Command in the Korean war.
New Agreements Signed.
All correspondents with the
fleet have been required TO sign
fresh agreements to subject their
stories to the ship captain or
higher commander for clear
ance. Even If the stories pass
the captain. they must be sent
to the commander of the Pacific
Fleet in Pearl Harbor, then to

Ike Tells 469 West Point
Grads Their Best Work
May Be At Council Tables

WEST POINT, NY, RAPresi-
dent Eisenhower cautioned today
against any "fatuous expecta-
tons" that the proposed Big Four
conference will miraculously cure
"a world sick with ignorance,
mutual fears and hate"
The struggle to win an endur-
ing peace may last a generation =
the President said in the COM
mencement address at his alma
mater, the US. military academy.
He called for a "stern deter
minatiOn not to be reckless
and witleSs, relaxing our posture
merely because a persistent foe
may assume smiling face and
soft voice"
The militarily trained seniors
listened quietly as the President
told them their enduring contri-
button to America may well be
at a council table far removed
from wars"
The President was not inter
rupted by applause once during
his Commute talk by the solemn
audience. But he got a standing
ovation when he concluded.
Immediately after the address
Eisenhower awarded diplomas to
the 469 graduates. He shook
hands with each Of them.
Speaking less than "A hours
after the United States, Great
Britain and France formally pro-
posed to Russia that the Big Four
meet at Geneva, Switzerland, for

hover said Of the struggle to iron
out differences:

Demo Senator Decries
Blaming Party For No
Action On TickliSh Issues

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Mon
roney D-Okla) said yesterday
Democratic leaders in Congress
have ''held the party together,
made it responsible to the people
and moved it toward worthwhile
goals"
Monroney said in an interview
he is unable to understand" a
statement by Americans for
Democratic Action that Demo
cratic congressional leaders thus
far in the 84th Congress have
failed their responsibility to the
people"
ADA describes itself as an
anti-Communist organization de-
voted to the cause of liberalism
as enunciated by Franklin ID.
Roosevelt. Monroney is not a
member.
Monroney said some of the is
sues which the ADA contended
the Democrats had failed to push
through Congress, such as Alaska
and Hawaii statehood and federal
aid for school construction, "are
extremely ticklish issues that
have been contentious for years. 2
and he asked:
''Why should the Democrats, in
control of Congress now for only
five months, be held accountable
for not rushing through a few
issues that have been before the
Congress in one form or another
for many yearS?"

Surgeon General
Tells Why Some
Vaccine Was Bad

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, Up WIN
US. Surgeon General Leonard
Scheele today disclosed what
went wrong with the Salk polio
vaccine, including some errors
and problems in safety testing it,
But he said the program now
is getting back on the safe track,
that more vaccine will be forth
coming under stricter rules, and
that widespread use of the vac
cine can be expected to prevent
"a higher percentage Of paralytic
polio cases, especially in children
6 to g."
Disclosing the inside story in
all of the confusion of the last
few weeks, Scheele said one error
was that manufacturers had not
reported patches which were
found to be bad.
They had only reported their
successful patches, and not sent
reports or protocols on those in
which live virus had been found
Thus the picture was not COM
plete as to whether the vaccine
manufacture was going ahead
perfectly.
Speaking to the American Med
ical Assn, DR.. Scheele said the
control procedure under which
the government was licensing
vaccine 'had failed to provide
adequate review of this total ex-
perience, with its inconsistencies
in the behavior of a new and COM
pick product, now being dealt
with in large-scale production.
In the case of Cutter Labora-
tories vaccine, he said, the gov
eminent is still studying "the ex-
tent to which unique problems
might account for the probable
presence Of active virus in some
lots of Cutter material"
