Russian PreIute
Ends Greek Visit

ATHENS, Greece, Dec. %
(AP).-Patriarch Alexius, head
Of the Russian Orthodox
Church, left for Moscow today
after talks with Greek Ortho-
dox leaders on unification of
the two churches.
The Patriarch of Moscow
spent three days here as the
guest Of Archbishop Theoclitos,
Primate Of Athens and of
Greece. Previously Alexius
had toured the Middle East and
holy places in Jerusalem. 1t
was the first visit here by a
patriarch Of Moscow since the
Russian church proclaimed its
independence in 1889.
The two church leaders said
in a communique that they had
agreed to seek with the help
of God, the consolidation of the
unity Of the two churches to
the service Of Christ and for
the glory Of His name"
Greek government sources
considered the Moscow prelate's
tour Of a Soviet attempt to re-
store the prestige held by the
Russian church in the Czarist
era Of holy Russia" The
Soviet Ambassador to Greece,
Michael Serguev, flew back to
Moscow with him.

Ben-Gurion Resignation
Hinted in Lovon Case

JERUSALEM, Dec. 20 (AP)
Israeli Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion has limited he
might resign in an effort to
force still another investigation
into the mysterious custer Of
former Defense Minister Pinhas
Lavon, informed sources said
today.
Mr.. Lavon was forced out OF
the government Of former
Prime Minister Moshe Sharett
in 1865 and blamed for a "se-
curity mishap." Military Gen.
sorship has prevented a further
description of the incident, but
1t is believed Mr.. Lavon was
accused Of ordering an attack
that some diplomats said
caused Egyptian President Ga
NAL Abdel Nasser to get arms
from the Soviet Union.
The cabinet approved a re-
port by an an investigating
committee Of ministers Sunday
clearing Mr.. Lavon and find-
ing that a high army of1icer,
whose name has not been dis
closed, probably forged q doc
ument to pin the blame on the
former defense minister.
The investigating committee,
appointed by Mr.. Ben-Gurion
last September, represented all
parties In the government.

what was his excuse he just
said he was guilty and didn't
have an excuse" the judge
commented in passing sentence
yesterday on a charge Of drunk
enness on private property.
Mr.. Broom said he first
spotted the car sailing along
the Seaboard Air Line tracks
ahead of him at 4 am. Tues
day, its left wheels running on
the crosSties between the tracks
and its right wheels on the dirt
right-of-way.
Every time the driver came
to a trestle he pulled all four
wheels up on the crossties and
bumped on across. the engineer
said.
I'VE happened to see him on
a straight stretch. but after
that we lost sight of him be-
cause Of all the curves and
hills and I didn't make more
than 7 or 8 miles an hour be-
cause I was afraid I'd overrun
him." Mr.. Broom said.
Mr.. Broom said every time
his train went over a trestle he
looked down, expected to see
the wreckage Of the car on the
highway below.
After crossing an overpass
Mr.. Broom went on, I'VE saw
him standing there right in the
middle Of the tracks and
laughing at us and wavirg his
hands. So I laughed about
that time, too, and got out to
see what had happened.
Il didn't get a chance to talk
to him much because the COPS
came up about that time"
Police had been tipped that a
car was running down the
track, its headlights on and
horn blowing.
The engineer said when the
police were leading George of
to jail he shouted for Mr.
Broom to get a cable and pull

Il reckon he was afraid q
train might hit it," Mr.. Broom
said.

Get Bail
For GoIdfine

BOSTON. Dec. 90 (AP).-
Bernard Goldfine. 70-year-old
manufacturer indicted in q
$790.000 tax evasion, was held
in Federal custody at the United
States Public Health Hospital
today while lawyers sought to
win his freedom.
A petition seeking his release
on bail was filed by his counsel
with the United States Court Of
Appeals.
Yesterday the District Court
refused a bail request.
Meanwhile, the Internal
Revenue Service filed additional
kens totaling $51, ,O06 against
Goldflne and his wife in the
Middlesex County Registry Of
Deeds.
The latest action brought the
amount of liens filed since
November 10 to $2,020,163.
Goldfine entered the hos
pital at 2:45 pm. yesterday
after making two United States
deputy marshals wait az hours
outside his hotel room. He took
a. hotel suite last Saturday
after a Federal judge in WASH
ington released him from st.
Elizabeth's Hospital for private
psychiatric care.
The marshals went to the
hotel with a removal order
signed by United States District
Judge George C. Sweeney dl-
recting that the millionaire in
dustrialist be held until Jan. 10
to determine his competence to
stand trial.
Goldhne's trouble has been
diagnosed as hardening of the

system.

but his family would be allowed

north Of Bukavu, were made
to crawl on hands and knees
down the main street. From
Bukavu and Kindu, a town in
Western Kivu Province, came
reports Of European settlers
being severely beaten.
Attack Not Confirmed
A U. N. spokesman said there
was no confirmation here Of
reports that some 20 passengers
were killed by Balubas in a
North Katanga train holdup.
But information reaching
U. N. headquarters on the Incl
dent was confusing and Col.
Henry Byrne, commander of
the Irish U. N. contingent, left
for the scene to investigate.
The U. N. spokesman said as
far as was known here, only
two passengers on the train
were injured, and three others
were taken of the train by
Baluba guerrillaS.
About IS passengers fled
through train windows into the
jungle when the train was held
up by a crowd of Balubas. But
other passengers dismounted
calmly or continued their jour-
ney without being molested, ac-
cording to a report from the
Irish troops guarding the train.
Kasavubu on Visit
There was no report of any
action between the Balubas and
the guards.
President Joseph Kasavubu,
meanwhile, left Leopoldville for
Luluabourg, capital of KaSai
Province, for his second provin-
cial state visit.
Mr.. KaSavubu was we'll re-
ceived when he visited Coquil-
hatville, capital Of Equator

is the home province Of former
Premier Patrice Lumumba and

ernment remained loyal to Mr..
Lumumba until he was arrested

LEOPoIDvILLE, the Congo.
Dec. 20 (AP).-A column of
rebel troops from Stanleyville
was reported today to have
entered Northern Katanga and
made contact there With
Baluba tribesmen fighting
against the separatist regime
| of President Noise Tshombe.
A United Nations report said
the rebel force entered Katanga
through Kivu Province, and
was approaching Kongolo, the
center of a bitter guerilla war
between the Katanga BalubaS
and Mr.. Tshombe's police.
Kongolo is more than 400
miles south of Stanleyville,
where former Deputy Premier
Antoine Gizenga has set up a
Communist leaning regime
which claims to be the Congo's
only legal government.
Kivu Province, located be-
tween Stanleyville and Ka-
tanga, came under Mr.. Gizen-
gas control over Christmas,
when rebel troops kidnapped
Provincial President Jean
Mirohu and three of his
ministers.
The prisoners were believed
en- route to Stanleyville, but
nothing has been heard Of
them since they left Bakuvu,
Kivu's capital, under a heavy
escort on Christmas Day.
Firm Control Seen
The rebel thrust into North
Katanga suggested that Mr.,
Gizenga now controls Kivu
firmly enough to permit free
dom Of movement to his men
throughout the province. whose
inhabitants include more than
$500 Europeans.
Most Of the Europeans in
Kivu are Belgian farmers or
missionaries. United Nations
reports said they were being
arrested and ill-treated by rebel
soldiers at villas the white
persons were in Stanleyville
prior to U. N. intervention
earlier this month.

made the threat in an effort
to force leaders of his own

 The one-story modern building was located on the same site where an A & P supermarket was destroyed by an explosion on July 12, 1851.
