Gem Thieves
Tried Before,
Police Report

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (AP)-
The bandits who hijacked a car
carrying 81 million in jewels
and gold yesterday apparently
tried twice before to rob it but
were scared off, police say.
Less than seven hours after
the midtown Manhattan rob-
bery-New York's biggest
the gem distributors delivery
car and slightly more than half
the loot were found abandoned
in a lot.
Louis Moots of Ridgefield, N
j., the driver Of the delivery
car, told police two of the five
bandits were disguised as po-
lice. Mr.. Moots was accompa-
MED by five other messengers
All we're unarmed.
Mr.. Moots said that two 9TH
er times in the last five weeks
he had seen similarly dressed
men leave an unmarked. black
car in the same vicinity and
approach his car.
He said all three times, in.
GLIDING the actual robbery, hi
thought he was about to get 6
traffic ticket.
Yesterday, however, one o.
the men in uniform pointed 9
pistol at him and said: This Il
a stick-up."
Police said, the six messen'
gers were ordered out of thu
station wagon and into q pane
truck that pulled up near them
They were handcuffed TO the
inside of the truck, driven to 6
spot about four blocks away
and told not to seek help for ar
hour.
The men banged on the in
side Of the truck for half an
hour before they we're heard BY
passersby.
One Of the messengers said;
I'm sure that workers on con-
struction jobs near the scene
(of the holdup) must have seer
the activity around the truck
But maybe they didn't want to
get involved, or maybe they
didn't realize what was hap
pening."

The Buddhist hierarchy has
issued a series of proclamations
from Saigon's Ka Loi pagoda,

against the late President Ngo

out of politics.
PrOelamatiOns Issued
The proclamations urge sup

But, the Buddhist leaders have
indicated a new militancy by
announcing their intention to
form an improved organization
aimed at revitalizing Buddhism,

in the flat figure. He will be
issued a license if at least half
the grain is carried in Ameri-
can ships. '.s =
The guidelines-or maximum
rates-set down by the Com
merce Department are based
on a new formula for ships
carrying commodities under
the foreign aid program-the
so-called PL 480 program.
In effect, it represents about
a $3-a-ton reduction in rates
from Gulf ports to Odessa on
the Black Sea. Previously most
owners we're asking about $2l
q ton. Now wheat carried in
a 15,500-ton ship will cost
about SIS. The world price
now averages about SIS.
Most officials expect agree
ment to be reached within a
few days between Soviet trad
ers and American grain deal
ers. Contact already has been
made, and in many cases, all
that has held up a sale was the
question of shipping rates.
Russia this fall has bought
about 8 million tons from Can
ada and Australia, and is ex-
pected to purchase about rs
million tons from the United
States.
This is comparable to about
20 per cent Of Russia's harvest
last year, and indicates the dis
astrous effect of this years bad
crop on her food supply. -s
Officials expect that Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria
will purchase about is million
tons.
The actual trades will be
handled by a Soviet wheat mis-
sion headed by Leonid Mateyev.
The Borisov group will return

Russians Told Off
So far as can be determined
the first time the Soviets asked
troops aboard an Am eric a r
convoy to dismount for a head
count was April is, 1859.
A young United States Off

their shoulders and waved the
convoy through.

Johns was told to dismount his
troops because this set a prec-
edent.
Once it rained when the So
VETS demanded the troops dis
mount for a headcount. The
demand was refuse on the
grounds the troops could not
get out in the rain. The Rus
sian officer backed down and
waved the trucks through.
Larger Conveys DismOunt
This was the beginning of
the British and American tao
tic of dismounting troops Of
larger conveys but not when
relatively few men were in
volved. However, the British
and American formulas we're
not identical.
Then, last October 10, the
Soviets stopped three American
conveys. This incident was the
most serious to be handled by
Mai. Gen. James H. Polk, who
took over as United States
Commandant in Berlin last
January.
Konrad Adenauer, then West
German Chancellor, disclosed in
a speech October Is that the
West German Army was on
full alert.
There was some speculation
here that this show Of force
prompted the Soviets to release
all the Allied conveys at Mar
ienborn, the Western check
point. Two went directly to West
Germany but the other convoy
continued to Berlin.
SOviets Block Road
When it arrived at the Berlin
end of the highway, the Rus
slams held it up again. At one
point the Americans tried to
break through the barriers.
The Soviets reacted promptly
by placing armored cars across
the road. Finally the convoy
was released by the Russians
without explanation. The Amer
leans insisted that they did
not yield to Soviet demands.
On October 20 the comman-
dants of the United States,
British and French forces in
Germany sent identical letters
to Gen. Ivan Yakubovs ky,
commander Of Soviet forces in
East Germany, spelling out
when troops in convoy would or
would not diSmount.
The ruling was that conveys
would dismount for headcount
if they carried more than 80
passengers in addition to the
driver and co-driver of each
vehicle. If not, the men could
stay in their trucks.
Last Monday the Unite d
States Army sent through the
first understandable convoy"
since the October IL trouble.
The Soviets promptly held it
when dismounting was refused.
The Russians then asked
that tailgates be lowered or
that the troops stand up inside
the trucks. United States Of
ficials said the convoy COM
mander yielded to no demands.
Troops Had RatiOns
The convoy of IL vehicles
and A men remained at the
Marienborn CHI eckpoint for
more than Al hours. Like all
troop conveys to and from Ber-
lin, it carried three days water
and rations and portable Ia
trines Just in case of a block
AIDE. The men ate and slept
aboard the vehicles.
After is hours, Gen. Polk
was told by what was called
higher headquarters to order
the convoy to move ahead
without clearance. Soviet ar
mored cars blocked the path
and the American troops wait
ed another 16 hours.
Meanwhile, British a n d
French conveys moved out OF
Berlin. Commanders of both
were directed not to dismount,
open tailgates or stand up in
side the trucks. Neither made
any concession and with hardly
an argument the Russians let
them through.

French convoys reached Mar

A Broyhill aide said the pro-

from the manuscript in a num-
ber of minor ways. The changes
include substitution Of the
word footsteps" for foot

show the plural possessive and
the use Of the word "and" in
lieu Of the ampersand (&) that
Key used.

The youth refused to have the
bullet removed until the pain
got too much for him. Police

intent to commit robbery in a
Southeast grocery during which
shots were fired at the robber.

The bullet removed from Up

out to have been fired during
another holdup at a Northeast

School superintendents-in-
cluding the Districts DR.. Carl
Hansen-and Kennedy admin
strators have been called to the
work sessions. Each meeting of
a special House Study Subcom-
mittee may last the full day.
Members have been ordered
by Representative Powell, Edu-
cation Committee chairman, to
come up with a basis for legis-
lation on the controversial pro-
gram.
After failing three times to

Opposed BY President

President Kennedy's opposi-
ton to the impacted program
in the past made it a pawn
in the legislative struggle over
general Federal aid to educa-
ton bills.
High Administration officials
have indicated that the Presi-
dent will withdraw his opposi-
ton to the politically popular
program this year. This Ad-
ministration decision probably
will relieve the House subcom-
mittee of the need to judge
whether to continue or drop
the aid.
Instead, the subcommittee is
expected to concentrate on how
long to run the program and
how much to spend.
Scheduled to take part in
the Monday session besides DR.,
Hansen are Leonard Main, of
Portsmouth, RI; oscar Rose,
of Midwest City, Okla; Walter
Mckee, of Montgomery, Ala;
and Ronald Cox, of Denver,
Colo, all school district or
State superintendents.
On Thursday, Assistant
Health, Education and Welfare
Secretary Wilbur Cohen and

sioners Peter Muirhead and

AS the men went toward the

welding robber turned and
fired one shot that struck the

Upshur later sought treat

pital notified police. At that
time he was identified by Max
Goodman. owner of Goodman's

Mr.. Goodman had also fired a

Mr.. Goodman said he pulled
his revolver from under his

He said he fired one shot as
