ASHEVILLE. N. c., June Z.
The General Federation Of
Women's Clubs yesterday APP
proved a resolution calling for
maintenance of a strong
United States armed forces "in
adequate quality and numbers;
in strength and equipment.
and in organization and de-
ployment so as to permit it to
meet its obligations to deter
war and to achieve victory in
waging either atomic or nom
atomic war. should such be
forced upon U.S."
The action was taken at the
federation's 66th annual con-
vention.
Speaking in support Of the
resolution, Mrs. Gerald
Whitaker, chairman of the
federation's national defense
division, said the speech given
by Vice President Nixon before
the delegates Wednesday night
was an eloquent" Endorsement
of the federation's stand.
. Defense Cut
"A cut in the appropriation
to defense has reached the
danger point as we were told
by our Vice President" she
told the delegates.
Speaking in criticism Of
another resolution calling for
establishment of a national
teachers day. which was
passed by the delegates with
out amendment, a Chevy Chase
MD woman warned that
such action would be a hollow
victory If we did not remember
them the rest of the year"
Mrs. O'Neal NJ. johnson,
president of the Women's Club
of Chevy Chase, told the dele
gates that "as much should
be done as possible to attract
competent persons into the
teaching profession by offering
attractive salaries and condi-
tons of work. as much as a
place of honor in the commu-
nifty"
In another resolution which
amended a previous stand on
self-determination of peo-
Piles. the delegates strongly
condemned the use Of mental
or physical brutality and or
coercion on the part Of an &C.
cupied power against a people
seeking freedom"
A spirited appeal in support
Of the resolution was made by
Nine. Melas, wife of the Greek
Ambassador. who is also a dele
gate to the convention.
Prison Reforms
Another resolution indors-
ing prison reforms. with
particular emphasis on pris-
oner rehabilitation, caused
one District delegate to COM
ment to her fellow delegates
that Washington already has
a model prison"
After several delegates had
warned that approving prison
reforms was not enough, that
they must go home and work
first at the local level. Mrs.

Sandburg delighted the au-
dience with an evening of
reading Of his own and other
poems and with quotations
from the works of Lincoln.
Sandburg told reporters
later he has a TV set in his
home but it has a "blab-off"
to cut of the sound and un-
wanted commercials.
Arlene Francis, the TV star
who appeared just before
Sandburg, said the poet has
the privilege OF turning of his
TV set when he wants to. But
she said she personally thinks
there are some very good
things on TV and Its going
to get better" She pointed out
that TV is a relatively new
baby and is going to improve
as it grows"

Mr.. Stevenson gave advice
and comment on American
NATO policy during a recent
three-week stay In the State
Department. At one time 1t
was thought he would be a
member Of the United States
delegation TO Paris. but he was
never offered a specific assign
ment, or even what he felt was
a very firm invitation. and so
he declined TO 60.
He has consistently called for
greater emphasis on the politi-
cal and economic. rather than
on the military. aspects Of the

Shoky Tip on Car Togs
Brings HoIdup Arrest

A woman's right-wrong iden-
tifcation of a gunman's auto
tags led Washington Police
today to their suspect in Bal
timore.
Arrested on a warrant charg-
ing robbery and assault was
Milton IMPORT. "a. He was
being brought back to WASH
ington for arraignment and
further investigation.
IMPORT is charged with rob-
bing the Tsintolas Realty Co.
at Sol Third street NV, Of
$304 Monday afternoon. But
police said they also want to
question him about a number
of other recent cases. includ-
ing several bank robberies in
Arlington.
In the Monday robbery, Mrs.
Demetrios Tsintolas. 81. wife Of
the owner Of the real estate
company. was held up by q tall.
good-looking gunman. She saw
him flee in a car and described
It TO police as a 1854 pink Ford
convertible with Virginia tags.
Police checked the tag num-
bers and found they were is
sued to a different car. 1t
looked like a dead-end.
But 1t. Edwin B. Crandall Of
the robbery squad didn't let Il
rest.
He knew that tags OF several
other States have the same
color scheme as Virginia's. So
he sent inquiries to each OF the
States. One was Maryland,
whose temporary auto tags are
like Virginia's regular tags.
Back from Baltimore came
word that the temporary tags
were issued to q 1854 pink
Ford convertible, II was re-

gistered to a woman who lived
in the 1900 block Of Reisters-
town road. Baltimore.
1t. Crandall got on the phone
to Baltimore police. They told
him the woman had a son. Mil
ton IMPORT, who had been in
trouble as a juvenile.
1t. Crandall telephoned the
FBI and asked about Milton
IMPORT. He learned that the
young man had been arrested
in connection with holdups
from New York to Miami. The
FBI also furnished a picture.
1t. Crandall sent Detective
Sergt. James Roche with the
picture out to see Mrs. Tsin-
tolas. That's the man who
held me up" Mrs. Tsintolas
said.
So Washington detectives
and Baltimore police staked
out the house on Reisterstown
road in Baltimore. They had
to wait until 4 am. today be-
fore they got their man.
When IMPORT refused to waive
extradition, he was taken be-
fore Magistrate Standley l..
Richardson. who granted the
Washington detectives request
to continue the case until jan
uary and set bail on IMPORT at
the high figure Of $25.00
After that. IMPORT. decided to
waive extradition and agreed to
come back to Washington to
face arraignment here.
Sergt. Roche and Detective
Sergts. Joseph Bonaccorsy and
Louis Blancato accompanied
him. They said he iitted closely
the description of the bandit
in q long series Of Washington
area armed robberies. including
the holdups Of several banks.
