Mail Loot 'Too Hot To Handle' LONDON UPI— British police asserting that the loot from last week’s $7.3 million mail train robbery has become “too hot to handle." said today they expect to find money “ in all sorts of places.’’ Metropolitian police raided London homes while their country colleagues combed Britain’s woods and fields in a massive “treasure hunt" for the loot. Abandoned banknotes worth $282,620 were discovered in Surrey Friday, leading officials to speculate that members of the daring ring of thelves were pannicking. “We feel that there is booty to be found in all sorts of places" detective superintendent Malcolm Fewtrell, in charge of Buckinghamshire police told reporters. “In fact we know there will be." “We have winkled flushed these people out earlier than they wanted and I have no doubt that this money is embarrassing to them.” Fewtrell said. Asked whether he belived more arrests were imminent. Fewtrell said “I hope they are. There is no reason to lose hope:" Friday night police appealed to the general public to watch out for clues in the case, such as freshly dug holes where the loot might be hidden. Fewtrell said police received about 20 tips as a result. He also said his men were continuing an inch-by-inch search of Leatherslade farm, the hideout temporarily used by the gang near the site of the Aug. 8 train robbery. He said fingerprints had been found at the farm, and that police were trying to trace the food the gang had stocked there. The police chief said he w r as “positive” that not all members of the gang stayed at the farm.

It would be “definitely w'orth while" for hikers, strollers and others to be on the lookout for places where some more of the stolen money might be stashed, Fewtrell said. Navy and Coast Guard ships were alerted to the possibility the gang might try to get the

motley out of the country from some port. Earlier a police spokesman, addressing himself to all pehsons in the countryside for the weekend. urged everyone to notify authorities of anything suspicious. “Your cooperation will help,” he said.

PRAVDACHARGES MOSCOW UPI — The Communist organ Pravda charged today that the arming of Canadian forces with American nuclear weapons “aggravates intern ational tension” and leaves Canada open to co’.inter-attack

in case of war.

An editorial called the U. S. - Canadian action “ a challenge to mankind's asperations for peace”

and noted it came only a few days after the signing of the partial test ban treaty in Moscw. "How should one understand the present actions of the American and Canadian governments?” Pravda said, "wild men” still hold a strong position across the ocean and zealously see to it that the policy of the United States and Canada still follows the channel of the ‘cold war’ and the aggravation of international ten-

sions.

“The presents of nuclear weapons exposes Canada to the serious danger of a retaliatory blow in case the aggressors succeed in unleashing war.”

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer XCTASHINGTON—In the opinion of many impartial observers \V in Washington, it’s about time for the TFX plane contract probers to bring sanity back into their investigation. The accusations of “conflict of interest" against high members of th® Defense Department team for awarding the contract to General Dynamics are becoming too far-fetched for even this politicallycharged capital. Navy Secretary Fred Korth is one of the principals accused. He was president of a Fort Worth, Tex., bank when 18 months before the contract was let, it participated in extending a line of credit to the company to the extent of four per cent of the total. On that basis he’s accused of having a biased interest in the contract. Another victim is Air Force Secretary Eugene M. Zuckcrt, who is accused of bias because some of the work General Dynamics will do will be done in his home state of New

York.

A third victim is Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell L. Gilpatric, who served as one of a battery of lawyers for the company prior to

entering government sendee.

Responsible members of Congress, as well as administration’ leaders, are seriously concerned over the loose and violent charges that are being hurled about—not only because they are. unfounded and unjust, but because of a fear that this particular kind of irresponsibility ultimately will make other competent business executives shy away from government service. It is unfortunately true that the lure of political capital has caused any number of administration opponents in both parties to swing wild and often at the McNamara Pentagon team. Politicians have tough skins, particularly in an election year, but business executives are not used to receiving the kind of barbs that are being thrown around in the too-long TFX investigation#

• PUSH BUTTON TELEPHONES—Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges has a fine, elaborately laid out phone system on his office desk. He’s used to it, but a young lady who happened to sit in his seat while she participated in “Girls’ Nation’' activi-

ties was goggle-eyed.

One button was marked WH, and in response to her question, it was explained that when the button is pushed it connected the caller with the White House. Another was marked DOD, a direct line to the Department of Defense.

That was pretty heady stuff for the teen-ager, but the capper came when she got down to the button marked LOVE. Now there was something she thought she knew the answer to, but when she asked, alas it turned out to be the most unintriguing

of them all.

It was Hodges’ dil-ect line to his special assistant for textiles— name of James S. Love.

Sheinwold On Bridge Unusual Lead Would Beat Slam By Alfred Sheinwold As everybody knows, you double a slam contract to suggest an unusual lead to your partner. One trouble is that you and your partner may not agree on what is unusual. There are other troubles too.

took all 13 tricks and had the gall to suggest that the opponents give him credit for two overtricks. NOTHING UNUSUAL “There’s nothing unusual about a spade opening lead,” Eaftt observed bitterly. “Why didn’t you lead a diamond?” The argument raged for a few minutes, East maintaining that neither black suit could be considered unusual and that the diamond lead was therefore obvious. Finally, West asked for a review of the bidding. When it came, it was East’s turn to make excuses. Both defenders had forgotten who bid notrump first, as often happens in an auction when the first notrump bid is part of the Blackwood Convention. North should have been declarer, and East should have made the opening lead. There was no need for Bast to guess at the best lead. If he thought about it carefully, he would see the advantage of leading the ace of diamonds. A little attention to the bidding would have made a difference of more than three thousand points. There’s probably a moral in it somewhere. DAILY QUESTION As dealer, you hold: S-K 9 4 2 H-A D-K Q J 8 4 C-A K Q. What do you say? Answer: Bid one diamond. The hand would be worth a forcing opening bid if your long suit were spades or hearts, but you need greater strength when your best suit is a minor.

Everybody looked expectantly at West when the bidding ended. He realized that it was up to him to work out what his partner meant by the double. If West had a “normal" lead, he ruminated, it was a club. If he had to make an unusual lead, he would pick a spade, and so he did. This opening lead was not exactly a daggering success. South had 15 tricks without a diamond opening lead. At any rate he
