Burglars Make Off With
Millionaire’s Safe
Containing $2,500,000
RENO, Nev., (/P)—Burglars en
tered the home of a millionaire
investment broker Friday and
made off with a safe containing
some $2,500,000 in cash, jewelry,
and negotiable securities. They
left behind another million in
securities packed in a suitcase,
detectives reported.
The theft was discovered by the
broker, L. V. Redfield, said po
lice when he returned home from
an afternoon luncheon. His watch
dog, described as vicious by
friends, was in a bedroom happily
munching a hambone taken from
the refrigerator.
Police are seeking a dark green
pickup truck believed to have
been used to haul away the 500
pound safe.
Redfield and his wife have
lived in the three-story 15-room
house without servants the past
seven years. Redfield, 54, moved
to Reno 18 years ago from Los
Angeles where he made a fortune
dealing in oil stocks.
Egyptian Prime Minister
Resigns Unexpectedly
CAIRO, Egypt, <^P)—Prime Min
ister Aly Maher Pasha resigned
unexpectedly Saturday on the eve
of talks he had confidently pre
dicted would lead to settlement of
Egypt’s bitter feud with Britain.
He stalked grim-faced from an
hour-long emergency cabinet ses
sion and told reporters he had
quit. He made no other state
ment.
Political sources said Maher be
i
came involved in a dispute with
the palace, which installed his in
dependent government Jan. 27
following bloody anti - British
torch riots in Cairo.
Maher Pasha’s son said the 69
year-old independent leader re
signed because of “inability to
work due to mysterious currents
behind his back.”
The prime minister was to have
met Saturday morning with Brit
ish ambassador Sir Ralph Steven
son on reopened discussions aimed
at settling the dispute between the
two countries over the Suez Canal
I
Zone and the Sudan.
Send Shirts To Congress
In Protesting Heavy Taxes
MARYSVILLE, Calif., </P) — A
million shirts for Congress . . .
that’s the goal of officers of the
California State Farm Bureau
Federation.
Secretary-treasurer Don W. Mc
Colly started it Thursday when he
told a regional meeting:
“To my congressman, I say:
‘You are taking now (in taxes) al
most everything but my shirt. So
you might as well have that,
too'.”
McColly jerked off his shirt. So
did eight others, including Fed
eration president George Wilson.
McColly insisted it was a spur
of the moment idea.
But several members liked it so
well that McColly said they ag-*
reed:
*“We will try to get every one
to send his shirt to his congress
man. If we can gefc a million
shirts in the mail then Congress
will see just how much we want
to cut taxes.”
PS.: If you’re doffing your
shirt to your congressman, please
send it direct, not to McColly, he
added.
Moscow, Russia, Has '
Baptist Church
MOSCOW—This city has a vig
orous and active Baptist Church.
This may come as a surprise to
some Americans who do not real
ize that there are a considerable
number of Protestants in Russia.
In this church—the only Pro
tesant church in Moscow—there
hangs an inscription over the
altar: “God Is Love.” During the
service the minister sits on a
raised dais beneath this sign. He
delivers the sermon from a pul
pit at the side of this dais.
The main floor seats several
hundred worshippers. More sit in
the balcony along the sides which
merges into a choir loft at the
rear. Hymns are sung which re
semble most Protestant hymns
anywhere.
Services are usually crowded.
Worshippers often bring their own
Bibles and hymnals. Only Russian
is used in the service. Church
members are entirely Russian.
Leading figure of the church is
Yakov Shidkov, head of ^1 Evan
gelical Baptist Christians in the
Soviet Union. He usually presides
at the services and often delivers
the sermon.

Cost-of-Living Pay
Bill For Military
Before the Senate
WASHINIGTON, {^—Senators
said Saturday that enlisted men
and junior officers such as pri
vates, corporals and lieutenants
get a better break than their su
periors under a “cost-of-living”
military pay increase bill now
ready for early Senate action.
They said army generals, colo
nels, majors, captains and ser
geants—and corresponding ranks
in other services—may find the
Senate bill disappointing com
pared with the one already passed
by the House.
The House had approved a flat
10 per cent boost in base pay
and allowances for all of the
3,600,000 persons expected to be
in the armed services during the
next year.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee Friday approved a bill
•that completely revised this by
limiting the average increase to
5.6 per cent, and giving most of
the boost to lower ranking officers
and enlisted men with families.
It was estimated that the Senate
bill would cosf about 375 million
dollars a year less than the House
bill.
"Senators Catch Cold
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Several
senators were laid up with colds
Friday. Senator McFarland, Dem
ocratic floor leader, commented:
“There seems to some kind of
bug going around—other than the
presidential bug.”
