Gets Protest From
Russian OfficiuI
BY the Associated Press

Russia charged today the re-
bellion in Hungary against Com
munist rule was stimulated

Soviet Charge D'Affaires Sergi
Striganov reported he told this
to the State Department dur
ing a call on deputy under
secretary Robert Murphy.
Earlier, in a note delivered to
the American Embassy in Mos
COW, Russia charged 3 United
States B-57 jet bombers had
treSpassed on Russian territory
near Vladivostok.
Mr.. Striganov said here he
had "resolutely declined" to ac-
cept an American protest against
the massing of Soviet tanks in
front of the American Legation
nearly two weeks ago.
The United States had pro-
tested the presence of Soviet
tanks December 6 in front of
the legation. At the time, Hun
garians were appealing for
American aid in their battle
against Red forces.
Troop Question Raised
Mr.. Striganov told reporters
that Mr.. Murphy raised the
question of Soviet troops in
Hungary"
He said he replied:
II explained that Soviet
troops are stationed in Hungary
under the terms of the Warsaw
treaty and that Hungary is a
participant in that treaty.
las for the events in Hungary
l said to Mr.. Murphy there was
an attempt of counter revolu-
tionaries at rebellion. which was
stimulated from the outside and
at the request of the Hungarian
Government, Soviet troops
assisted the Hungarian Govern
ment to establish order in the
country"
Mr.. Striganov declined to say
what country he had in mind
when asserting the Hungarian
revolt was stimulated from the
Soviet propaganda
broadcasts have sought to lay
this blame on the United States.
In rejecting the American pro-
test about Soviet tanks, Mr..
Striganov said they we're sta
toned there with the purpose
of guarding foreign missions in

Two Bank Bandits Hold
Teller Wife SixHours
Gunner Get
100000 in
Night Raid

A bank teller and his wife
were held captive for nearly
six hours last night by a Mutt
and JEFF" bandit pair who forced
the teller to open the night de-
pository of the Suburban Trust
Co. branch in College Park and
turn over an estimated 100000.
After the narrowing night, the
teller's wife, Mrs. Donald E.
Bishoff, q, hySterical from the
long ordeal, cried: ut can't be
true; it's like fairy tale"
The FBI moved into the case
Immediately. How much money
was involved could not be exactly
determined before a check OF
those who placed money in the
depository. But since many Of
the deposits came from stores
in the College Park shopping
center, busy during the Christ
mas rush, the amount was larger
than usual, Branch Manager
William r. Reading said.
Couple Aids Search
Still shaken from the expert
ence. Mr.. Bishoff, IS. and his wife
were taken today from their
home at 34l0 Tulane drive, Uni
versity Hills Apartments, Hyatts-
vile, to the Seat Pleasant police
station TO help the FBI and
Prince Georges police with clues.
Later they were taken to an
unannounced place for sleep and
rest under the protection of the
FBI and police who feared there
might be an attempt on their
lives by the bandits. 1t was in
dicated the Bishoffs will be given
protection for some time.
One thing was Immediately
evident. The Bishoffs had been
studied as carefully as the VIC
Tins of the THE Desperate
Hours" novel by the smooth
working robber team.
The couple were held prisoner
from $3.50 pm. until 2:30 am,
when the taller of the two BAN
dts forced Mr.. Bishoff to take
him to the bank for the money.
The banker then was returned
to his apartment and tied up
back-to-back with Mrs. Bishoff.
After a l5-minute struggle, the
Bishoffs went to a neighbours
apartment to call police.
Reports Car Accident
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishoff and their
l3-year-old daughter, Dianne, had
retired when knock came at
$3.50. The teller went to the
door and was engaged in CONVEX
sation by the tall man who had
arrived alone. He wondered II Mr..
Bishoff had a two-tone Plym-
outh. and said he may have
struck the car. Asked his name,
the teller told the man it was
on the door.
Then he saw a gun and found
himself being forced back into
the apartment. Twenty minutes
later the short man knocked. and
was admitted. The Bishoffs
were forced to sit on the sofa,
and the visitors sat across the
room. facing them.
The conversation wasn't very
brisk, what there was of it. At
the bandits request, they talked
about the layout of Mr.. Bishoff's
bank.
The visitors told their unwill-
ing hosts they had been scouting
them for a week. watching their
habits daily. For a while, they
decided to look at television. but
nothing on the screen equaled
the drama In the room.
Once little Dianne stirred, and

35-Hour Week
ToBeAsked for
u. ). Workers
PurteII Hopes Dotu
From Hearings Will.
Guide All Nation
BY J. A. O'LEARY

A 35-hour work week for Gov
eminent employees will be pro-
posed in the new Congress by
Senator Purtell. Republican of
Connecticut.
In making the announcement
today. the Senator said his pur-
pose in introducing the resolu-
ton will be primarily explora-
tory" He hopes the hearings on
shorter work week for the
Government will produce valu-
able information on the POSSIBLE
ity of a 35-hour week for the
Nations work force generally.
Although he did not spell out
his bill in detail, it was assumed
he has in mind a 7-hour 5-day
week. Government employees now
work an 8-hour, 5-day week, ex-
cept in a few special categories.
like hospital attendants and
prison guards.
Discussions at GPO
Recently there has been some
discussion of shortening the
work week at the Government
Printing Office by negotiation.
The Purtell proposal served
to recall a prediction Vice Presi-
dent Nixon made during the
recent campaign that shorter
work week is not far distant.
Speaking at Colorado Springs in
September. Mr.. Nixon said:
I'VE see the time not too far
distant when we can have a
four-day week and family life
will be even more fully enjoyed
by every American"
Mr.. Nixon did not indicate.
however. that he had in mind
establishing it by law.
Senator Purtell termed a
shorter work week something
inevitable, having great ramfica-
lions which we must study a:A
prepare for"
Precedents Pointed Out
Senator Purtell said Connecti-
cut. Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey already have put most of
their State employees on a 35-
hour week. and he has been in
formed that at least 20 of the
States have less than a 40-hour
week.
The Senator also listed in
stances in which he said private
industry has gone below the 40
hour week. including the fol-.
lowing:
Since World War II, in the
printing industry in many met
ropolitan centers, including
Washington.
In the construction field
where more than 10 per cent of
union tradesmen have a stand
ard seven-hour day in major
cities.
In the rubber industry. where.
ne said, a 36-hour week has
been iii effect in Akron. Ohio.
for 20 years.
Garment Workers Benefit
More than 95 per cent of the
organized ladies' garment work.
ers are now working under
agreements providing for a 35-
hour week at present or before
the expiration of present con-
tracts.
Senator Purtell said wage
and-hour laws should be made
more terrible and practical as
to overtime provisions if the
work week is to be shortened.
and he wants this phase of the
question studied at hearings on
his bill.

There are also those in Poland who re-

miles east of Warsaw and allowed the
Germans to smother premature Polish
uprising>-which was touched off as the
Russians approached the city to the East
in the Winter of 1944-45. The Russian idea,
another typical example Of the Slav
philosophy-to allow the Germans to kill
those Polish patriots who rose to liberate
the cities. so that the Red Army would not
have to share the glory of liberation with
anyone else.
The Foles. then, have many reasons to

NOW that the nations steel mills have
closed down, there can be little doubt
that neither management nor the union
looked with any great alarm at the prospect
OF prolonged steel strike.
In fact the steel companies are we'll

the fact that large inventories of steel have
been built up by some Of the mai or pro-
ducers in these fields
On the other hand. the union no doubt
sensed this attitude on the part of manage
ment. and rather than agree to a long
term contract which fell short of their
goals union leaders preferred to have
strike in an effort to improve their bar
gaining position with management.
The steel companies want a five-year no.
strike contract, and are willing to
guarantee the union annual raL1cs The
companies are also willing to grant other
benefits to the union
The union, on the other hand, is opposed
to five-year contract, desiring review
more frequently. which would allow union
members to take advantage of conditions
which might be favorable to labor
From all indications, as this is written.

fsHE REFRESHED REVOLT in Poland
is highly significant, and MAY be an in
dcation that the gigantic Communist
octopus built and held together by the
regime of Joseph Stain, is falling apart
at the seans.
A reporter who flew from Poland to
Amsterdam. Holland, and wrote An account
Of the mass uprising in Poland recently,
describes WILDLY the widespread unrest
and dissatisfaction among Poles There are
several reasons why Poland is a key
country in the Russian orbit
First, from psychological Standpoint
the Poles are undependable allies as far
as the Russians are concerned. For centuries
the Poles and Russians have been natural
enemies and the Poles today cannot forget
that. in 1889 the Russians stabbed them
in the back when they were attacked by
AdoIph Hitler. in September. 1889
In other words. the Poles were struck by
the Russians in a fashion which was no less
ruthless than IIitler's attack.
It is true that the Russians attempted to
win over the Poles by giving them large
sections of German territory but. down
deep in their hearts. the Poles know that
some day the Germans will turn on them
