State Department officials
use as one guide the an
nounced takeovers published in
Havana. Under Mr.. CaStro's
agrarian reform law, more than
200 United States businesses,
ranging from oil firms to
ranches, hotels and laundries,
have been publicly appropriated,
The biggest single loser has
been the United States Gov
ernment, which had a giant
nickel plant at Nicaro. United
States authorities rate the
worth of that property at
around $l00 million.
The larger American busi-

seizures have filed records with
the State Department claiming
losses Of more than $500 million.
Beyond this have been an
untold number of seizures not
publicized. Officials estimate
perhaps as many as 1000
United States citizens have not
sent in word of their losses.
Even If no compensation is
now foreseeable, the State De-

When the smoke cleared, a

by a bullet and a bandit, one

times. in the scalp, chest, left
shoulder, left arm and left

The bandits were routed by
Chief Murray, then a young
precinct detective. Months after
the gun battle, which took place
on December II, 1897, Detective
Murray won a medal for "meri-
torious service" for his part in
the case.
The second bandit, Chief
Murray recalled today. escaped

complice. Later, he and the
getaway car driver were
rounded up and, according to
the chief, "all Of them served
more than is years"
Detective Murray had been
staked out in the liquor store,
which had been robbed on sew
eral occasions, for 10 weeks.
On many nights-on his own
time-he went to the store an
hour before closing time, hid
behind a partition, and waited.
This type of voluntary
service, the chief intimated, is
not so common today.
Most of the boys don't feel
like that now" he said.

two masked bandits, described
as youths in their late teens,

They escaped in a car with
