centering on the question of

which must have an answer

own atomic weapons or depend
on American ard
Gen. de Gaulle wants pres

France is willing to stay out

Victories

MANILA, July S @1-Ths
Indonesian rebels reported to-
day they are still putting up
stlff resistance against the at
tacking government forces.
A rebel broadcast monitored
here said three villages on .
vital road in the North Celehes.
Lembean, Tumaltuntung and
Kama. have been reoccupied.
The road connects the fallen
rebel capital of Menado with
the town Of kema across the
long northern peninsula of the
island.
The rebels also claimed a
string Of important victories
in fierce night fighting and
said many government troops
were detecting to the rebels.
In Jakarta. the government
said its forces are advancing
steadily on the rebel centers Of
Tondano and Tomohon near
Menado and expected heavy
resistance there,
An Indonesiarl Embassy
spokesman in Manila said the
rebels have used the Philippine
island Of Sanga Sanga in the
Sulu Sea near Borneo as a base
for their air raids. The spokes-
man said he did not know If
the island was still being used
for a rebel airstrip but other
small islands in the area could
be used. Philippine officials
have denied helping the rebels
but reliable sources have con-
ceded some airflelds in the
Philippines have been used.
Earlier this week the rebel
radio said its planes had re-
sumed their raids. The entire
rebel air force had been re-
ported lost earlier.

having received word that Fidel
Castro has ordered his brother
TO release the 43 Americans
and two Canadians kidnapped
in the last 10 days.
Communications DifflcuIt
Communications even be-
tween the brother rebels is diff
ficult in the mountain wilds of
eastern oriente Province, and
officials here believe that this
may be the explanation for
Raul's slow response to his
brothers order.
Consul Wollam was last re-
ported at Guantanamo, seeking
to make arrangements to go
back into the rebel held
country.
Even if he arranges for the
hostages release, 1t may take
days to get them out of the
bush, because travel is difiicult
and all the Americans are not

Chicago charges him with

His nefarious activities have
come a cropper in the past, but
on several occasions the SWIM

to profit. Once, while doinp
time at Rikers Island Jail in
New York. Levy was assigned
as a trusty to handle prison
supply and purchase orders.
Vanished Again
When he got out, the FBI
said, in 1943 he made a bee
line for a Baltimore company,
passed himself of as purchas-
ing agent for Rikers Island
placed several fictitious uders
for his alma mater, cashed a
worthless check and vanished,
On May 4, l94S, the Office
of a Senator gave Levy a con-
Quoted tour of WASHINGTON
after the conman appeared on
Capitol Hill and posed as as
sistant warden of a State peni-
tentiary. He used the courtesy
contact to identify himself
while passing another rubber
check.
Thus set UP, Levy went on

in Syracuse on the Washington
charges. Levy made a play for
sympathy by returning a $500
diamond ring he got with some
OF his paper money in Miami
but was sent to prison for 80
months.
When he was released at
Atlanta in 1851, Levy took the
only job he has ever been
known to have-as a male
nurse in Rye, N. Y. But he
soon started posing as an AS
siStant United States Attorney
to cash bad checks and the
hunt was on again.
This time, the FBI said
Levy decided to become a
Lotharia as well.
Widows and well-to-dc
women in various parts Of the
country began complaining that
the smooth-talking Levy had
bilked them.
His gift" routine for WASH

finest shops and department
stores with his check book

the captives are being held.
When the first rebel kidnap-
ing raids we're reported on June

sidered a wide range OF meas

UItlmatum Ruled Out
At one point, Ambassador
Earl E. T. Smith suggested the
possibility Of issuing an ulti-
matum, but Cancelled the sug-
gestlon hours later when Mr..
Wollam received word he would
be allowed to communicate with
the rebels.
Mr.. Wollam negotiated with
Raul Castro from last Satur-
day to Wednesday, and OBJ

States civilians. Robert Wiecha.
American vice consul under
Mr.. Wollan1, was reported still
in the mountainous jungles
