3 Burglars Killed
 In Police Trap in Department Store

CHICAGO, R-Three burglars were shot to death early today in a short and violent gun battle with seven detectives as they pre- pared to break open State St. department store vault containing a half million dollars.
 The gunmen walked into a po- lice trap in Mandel Brothers store and were moved down by police machinegun and shotgun bullets.
 No police were hurt.
 The detectives, who had been hiding in the 11th floor credit de- partment for seven hours after receiving tip on the planned burglary, escaped unhurt.
 It. James J. Lynch said the three gunmen, carrying burglary tools, were about to attempt to open a safe when the detectives ordered them to surrender. Lynch said the burglars opened fire. The police exchanged shots, killing all three.
 Lynch identified two of the men as having been arrested pre- viously. One of them, Jimmy Rentner 3O had heen released or bond recently on a charge of rob bery. He said James Wulf, 28, also had been arrested several times
 The third man was identified as James Betimio.

Russians Pay Warm Tribute To
 Departing Ambassador Bohlen,
 But Cape At CHA ClObemaster

A giant US. Air Force CHA Globemaster - the United States biggest troop transport plane came from Germany to pick up Bohlen, his family, and eight other embassy officials. The plane can carry more than 200 troops.
 It was the first trip of Globe master to the Soviet capital. The Russians had never seen plane as big as the 90-ton, double-deck monster and their eyes popped.
 Just to bring its size home to the gaping onlookers, an embassy official backed a fully loaded truck up the ramp into the planes belly.
 There were no speeches at the airport, but hundreds of warm handshakes, some damp eyes and repeated good wishes.
 At Syrian embassy reception Wednesday night Kruhshchev put his arm on Bohlen's shoulder and said:
 We like a competent ambassa- dor if he comes to a correct con- clusion and sends the right esti- mate to his government.
 "We do not understand why they are taking you away from us and sending you so far away. We understand you and you un- derstand us. We hate to see you go"

 Moscow's diplomatic corps over flowed the airport building in a farewell tribute to Bohlen's ack- nowledged leadership of the West ern diplomatic colony during his four years as ambassador.
 The Soviet government sent cnly a protocol officer to see Boh- len off, despite a warm tribute paid the departing envoy Wednes- day night by Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev.

Conciliator, Not Policeman

Increasing attention is focusing feature of the
civil rights legislation which almost ignored
in the monthong congressional debate. This is the civil
rights commission. President Eisenhower in his latest
press conference took notice of public demands for
prompt activatng of this body He said he had been
trying for weeks to find the right members.
His words confirm the impression that the task of
this agency is of the greatest Importance Combined with
the unconfmed report that the Craftsmanship offer
ed to Ada Stevenson but declined the Presidents out
line of desired qualifications shows he is trying to give
the commission great stature and usefulness When the
idea of a commission first preached this newspaper
warned that it should not be regarded simply as an
enforcement agency
The law setting it up does call for it to hear
plants concerning the denial of civil rights 1t has
to subpoena witnesses 1t should be able to effec-
lively to bring civil rights abuses to attention But if it
emphasizes enforcement rather than persuasion it will
become merely harassed policeman a very big beat
It's larger opportunity is to function quietly as
mediator correcting njustces and developing an atos-
phere in which denial of civil rights will become definite
ly unatractive. 1t may be required to focus public
opinion certain situations But to evoke wider under
standing and to crystalline agreement the methods
and timing of desegregation would be vital service So

Betty Allen, the brilliant young
mezzo soprano, will appear in con-
cert on November Is, 1857 in
Brownlee Hall, Tougaloo Southern
Christian College at 8 pm.
Miss Allen has just returned to
the United States after a triumph
ant Caribbean tour. The young
singers rise to stardom has been
rapid one and gains acceleration
after every concert. The dramatic
things in Betty Aliens career hap
pened recently and fast. They
started in 1851 when Leonard Bern
stein picked her as soloist in his
Jeremiah" Symphony. Then, she
sang the Messiah with the Hartford
Symphony and in 1852 Virgil
Thompson chose her for the major
role of St. Teresa in his and Ger
trude STEMS opera -Four Saints
in Three Acts" The opera had
Broadway run and went to Paris.
She was the choice of Fritz
Mailer for soloist with the Hart
ford Symphony in the Verdi
Requiem. The critics called her
performance completely Superla-
tive" She appeared at Lewisohn
Stadium and at the New York City
Center. She also won the Marian
Anderson Award. In 1854 Miss
Allen appeared with the Boston
Symphony under Charles Munich
as soloist in Honegger's LA Danse
des Morris" The success of this
program in Boston merited its rep
etition in Carnegie Hall. Her tours
have included North Africa, France
and Italy, where she received great
acclaim.
New and repeated successes are
building Betty Aliens worldwide
reputation. She finds joy in sing
ing and communicates this to her
audiences-one more reason why
her appearance at Tougaloo South
ern Christian NCollege is so eager
ly anticipated.
