Chou’s bristling statement, broad east by the Peiping radio, threat- ened that if the United States does not withdraw all its forces from Formosa, the Formosa Strait and Penghu Islands “and persists in interfering in China’s internal af- fairs, it must take upon itself all tlie grave consequences.” pte, described Nationalist oo Chiang .

Louis Weinstein, who protested that he had never even been in a courtroom, asserted he was inno- cent as U.S. Commissioner Roger. E. Davis set bond yesterday. Weinstein, who wears thick- lensed glasses and uses a hearing aid, was arrested earlier in the day by the FBI, nearly a month after the holdup on Nov. 10. Employes of the loan association said a firm-spoken, quick-acting man wearing tight-fitting sun glasses held a gun on them while he calmly robbed all the tellers and left five of them in the vauit while he made his escape. E. David Rosen, assistant U.S. district attorney, said FBI agents found about $10,000 in cash on the premises where Weinstein was arrested but he had “no comment” when asked if the money was part of the loot. Charles E. Weeks, special agent in charge of the FBI, said the ar- rest resulted from a combined in- vestigation by the FBI and Miami Beach police. Weeks would not dis- cuss the case except to say it was the note handed to the asso- ciation branch manager by the robber that led to the arrest. This was a lengthy note printed in pen and ink and given to Rob- .|ert Swick, the manager. It an- nounced the holdup, stated that henchmen were outside and threat- ened use of hand grenades if there was resistance, “This is ridiculous,” Weinstein said. “I have an account at Chase. The folks there all know me. It is impossible that I could do a thing like this.” Weinstein said he was married 50 years before his wife died and came to Miami Beach four years ago. He lives with a sister and brother-in-law, AUTHORS TO PARLEY BELGRADE @—Two of Yugo- slavia’s best known’ writers, Dobr- ea Cosic and Marin Franicevic, will attend a writers ‘conferéhce in Moscow. \Santa Key West Radio & TV Service Brings You 4 Real Christmas Bargain 20% OFF On All Our Philco Electric Ranges This Offer Applies To Either Cash or Easy Payment Purchases Refrigerators Low Bank Rates Easy Terms HURRY !

Key West Radio & TV Service 826 DUVAL STREET WILE JULIUS, OWNER PH. 2-8511 Theft Of Art” Treasure Told By Academy Head LONDON @-Sir Gerald Kelly, president of Britain’s Royal Aca- demy of Art, disclosed Monday night that he once stole one of the late King George VI’s are master- pieces — and replaced it with a fake. i It was only a stunt to prove it could be done, Kelly told the audi- ence at an art exhibition. He later returned the work, a painting by the 16th-century German artist Hans Holbein. Kelly said the incident occurred in, 1950 when the King lent his Windsor Castle collection of Hol- beins for a London exhibition. “I got into a panic in case one was stolen,” Kelly said. To find out whether such a theft would be easy, he said, he had “a large woman” smugyjle in a repro- duction of one of the paintings un- der her dress, had two children divert attention with an outcry in an_ adjoining room and deftly switched the paintings. “The whole operation took 34 seconds,” he said. ‘‘After that the Holbeins were locked in the cellar every night. And we never did tell anybody of our little experiment.” Red China Is Puzzled As To 7th Fleet Move By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEH (® — Red China would love dearly to know the answer to this question: Will the U.S. 7th Fleet join the battle if the Communists try to capture any of Chiang Kai-shek’s offshore islands? The Reds will have to learn the answer the hard way. The officially avowed U.S. pol- icy is to say nothing and keep the Reds guessing. Possibly Chiang and a few other persons on Formosa know the an- swer. But everyone else here has been left guessing too, If the United States has decided what island outposts must be re- tained by the Nationalists as pro- tection for Formosa itself, Wash- ington is keeping quiet about it. The string of island bases con- trolled by the Nationalists dot some 350 miles of water from Quemoy «in the south to the Tach- ens in the north. Some of these—such as Quemoy, Matsu, White Dog and the Tachen group—might be considered worth holding. But many others are neg- ligible. One subject of constant specu- lation is this: Would the Reds, in the face of possible U.S. intervention, dare risk an amphibious assault on any of the more important offshore is- lands? Since the United States and Na- tionalist China signed the mutual defense pact Dec..2 the Reds have shown no disposition to call off military activity. But, on the other hand, they have shown no disposition to en- large its present scope-at least pot yet. Nationalist reports over past weeks have portrayed a buildup of Communist strength apparently aimed at an invasii n of the Tach- ens, 200 miles north of Formosa, and other Nationalist-held island outposts. Consequently, although things appear relatively quiet now, the general impression here is that something b gger is bound to break —and not too long hence. Malaya Red Leader To Confer Standard reported Monday that Ma- laya’s top Communist leader is now en route to Indochina to con- fer with Moscow-trained Ho Chi Minh, chief of the Vietminh forces in Northern Viet Nam. The newspaper said the Red boss, Chin: Peng, apparently is seeking advice on how to pep up the Red terror war in Malaya’s jungles. . “The cease-fire in Indochina has had serious repercussions on the morale of the Malayan Commu- nist leaders, who believe their long-term plan to overrun Malaya is now bogged,” the Standard de- clared. Gar Wood May Be In Court Tues. MIAMI BEACH #— Millionaire boat builder Gar Wood and shape- Miss Lucille Stiglich may have their day in court Tuesday. Wood, white - haired and 73, claims Miss Stiglich threatened to kill him several times, including once when she went to his Fisher Island estate with her mother by motor boat. He asked that she be put under a peace bond and Miss Stiglich countered with a charge that Wood beat her up on a Miami Beach street corner Nov, 13, At Big Ten DETROIT (#—The Big Ten to- day opens what Conference Com- missioner K. L. (Tug) Wilson has described as ‘‘an important meet- ing’—with emphasis on a re- Tenewed stand for regional football television for 1955. R Touching off the four-day para ley will be a session of the Big Ten TV Committee, which is ex- pected to study next year’s NCAA nationally controlled program “as it has been formulated to date” and map further plans for the con- ference’s campaign for regional television. The Big Ten’s regional .plan— which has gained ‘support. of :ts basic concept from the Pacific Coast Conference and perhaps to a lesser degree from several other major conferencs—is this: Permission for a team to appear twice regionally, once at home and once away, or once nationally, whichever it desires, This is in direct conflict with the NCAA restricted policy that has been in effect for four years. The Big Ten is against unre- stricted television, favored by No- tre Dame, but prefers a regional pattern controlled at a national level. Notre Dame would go along with this for the time being as “a step in the right direction.” What can the Big Ten do to get regional football TV? The least it can do at its winter meetings is to reaffirm its stand The most it can do is to defy the NCAA “going out on its own and peddling a regional “pack- age” to sponsor willing to pick up a tab of a million dollars or more. Defiance of the NCAA, or a bolt from that organization, is consid- ered remote at this time, although last March it was a possibility. A probability is that the Big Ten formally will petition the NCAA for regional football television in 1955 on an experimental basis, Sports Shorts For Them Bank-Robbin’ Hombres DALLAS, Tex. —Round up the posse, boys. We got to do some- thing to catch these bank robbers. They’re getting thicker than buf- falo on the Texas range and the cost is terrific. _ Just yesterday 2 galoot in blue jeans _moseyed into the Citizens State Bank at Royse City, 35 miles northeast of -here, and made off with $5,944. The day before, a city slicker type made off with $3,600 from Dallas’ suburban Oak Lawn National Bank. He didn’t even show a six-gun. In the face of the growing® rob- bery rate at banks, Dallas Police Chief Carl Hansson proposed that Dallas follow the example of some 12 other cities and use women for traffic officers and parking meter service. It would allow the men to be used in more policelike pur- suits, such as chasing bank rob- bers.
