PEARL HARBOR, OP) — The
touring U. S. joint chiefs of staff
today began a first-hand survey
of the military picture in Hawaii.
They are on their way home from
Japan, Okinawa, Guam and Kwa
jalein.
The four top commanders flew
in yesterday for three days of
conferences with Hawaii’s mili
tary chiefs and inspection of in
stallations.
Gen. Omar Bradley was asked
at a news conference if it would
be wise to establish a Southeast
Asia holding line against com
munism as was done with military
aid in Greece and Turkey.
A. decision on any such policy

won't tell you.”
Bradley, Admiral Forrest P.

They will take up the matter with
the secretary of defense when

Dr. Charles E. Dutchess, medi

Tibione has been tested in j
Western Germany, he reported, j
where it was used on some 10,000
tuberculosis patients since Sep

same boses, he said, conditions
“are worse than slums.”
Bradley and Sherman found an
eight to 10-month delay in having
families join enlisted and officer
personnel at Pacific stations be
cause of a shortage of housing.

Daylight Robbery
PHOENIX, Ariz. (A*)—Two men
1 at least one of them armed, early
! today robbed the Bank of Doug
las in downtown Phoenix of
$120,000 cash.
City police said the men caught
the janitor outside the bank about
6 a.m., forced him to let them
into the building and waited un
til Jim Wise, a bank employee,
arrived about 7:40 a.m.
Wise was forced to open the
safe. The robbers then locked the
employees in a room and left,
i Bank officials estimated the
men escaped with $120, 00 in bills
of various denominations.
Police had only vague descrip
tions of them. One was a white
man, 32-35 years old, about 150
pounds and between five feet
eight and five feet ten inches
: tall. He wore light tan trousers
• and a dark brown jacket and car
' ried a .25 caliber automatic.

same size. He wore work clothes.

To Give One Fay
| Day To Miners
_
CANONSGURG, Pa. </P> — A
striking coal miner proposed yes
terday that John L. Lewis and his
United Mine Workers aides £ive
up one pay check to buy food for
needy diggers.
He is Roman Rybarski, 55, fa
ther of seven, who said fellow
workers at the Lindley Mine of
the Pittsburgh Consolidated Coal
Company think his idea is a good
one.
“It’s my personal opinion that
if John L. Lewis and his lieuten
ants would go payless for one pay
day, they could buy us miners a
lot of bread,” Rybarski declared.
“They could take their pay and
spend it om food and distribute it.
They wouldn’t go hungry. And
why" couldn’t they sacrifice then
pay for a few days?
“We miners have had a lot of
pay less paydays since last June.”
Rvbarski has mined coal for 44
years, ever since the age of 11.
Don Foster, head of the ANS in
Alaska passed through Nome yes
terday enroute to Anchorage,
from a trip to the north on offi
cial business.
Returning from the north with
him was H. Starling of the ANS,
who remained here.
