The dapper, bad check artist was clad in an expensively tailored Navy blue sport jacket and grey flannel trousers. His expensive dress belied the fact that when he was arrested, he had but $2 in cash on his person. Commissioner Albury re- duced Smith’s bond from $10,000 to $1,000, since but a single war- rant charging that he had written a check amounting to $77.55 drawn on the First National: Bank of Hartford, Connecticut had been transported across a state line. Smith then spoke up, saying, “Do you mean judge, that if I give you $10,000 I can get out of jail?” “No, I mean that your bond is reduced to $1,000---and remember, no checks,” was Albury’s cagy retort. Albury had reduced the bond, holding that the single charge made the $10,000 figure, which had been recommended by the United States Commissioner in Hartford was “excessive.” Smith, who is said to have a has been in trouble with police at other times on car theft charges. His female companion, Miss ried to an Army man stationed in Georgia, has claimed that her relationship with Smith was “purely platonic.” She admitted to posing as his wife, however. Following his arraignment, Smith was returned to the Monroe County Jail where he is being held pending the arrival of a United States Marshal from Connecticut to escort him back there to face No local charges have been though several bad checks were | issued during their stay here. 21 FAMILIES, FIRMS, (Continued from Page One) | Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Starlin, | 1213 William Street.

One article of the pact calls for advance warning before lethal weapons are used wa ae ponies Prisoners, e Reds have used this made public Dec. 15 in ‘dean and the disorders on Pongam Is- land prison Dec. 14 as vehicles for attacks on the United States. The Russians tried over the week end at the United Nations in New York to push through a U. N. vote of censure against the U. S. for the deaths of 87 prisoners at Pong- am. The Russian resolution was- defeated by a 45-to-5 vote. The State Department’s corre- spondence covered a reply to the Red Cross criticism, submitted last July 28 by U. S. Consul General Robert E. Ward Jr. in Geneva. Ward said three Communists and four Republic of Korea army guards were killed and 64 persons wounded in the April riot. Less than three months afterward, he said, 81,000 prisoners had been moved to “more manageable 500- man compounds,” in line with Red Cross recommendations for smal- ler enclosures at Koje. He said also that, on a recom- mendation to discontinue political orientation of prisoriers, voluntary training is being carried on only among prisoners who have refused to return to Communist controlled territory. COMMISSIONERS, (Continued from Page One) Commissioners continued more Sheriff's business. Spottswood had submitted to Building chairman Clarence Higgs a long list of needs for the new jail which will also serve as his office.

Spottswood also wants a road around the jail closed by four gates, Bids will be called for im- mediately on this latter item. The jail was completed minus methods of sec windows against possible ipe by pri- soners, Higgs pointed out.
