Reward Offered
For Information
On Figurines
A $lOO reward is being offered
for information leading to recov
ery of 14 tiny figurines stolen
from Mineral Industries gallery
July 13.
The figurines, which are valued
at approximately $lOOO, resemble
pieces of clear toy candy and
range in size from a fantail fish,
more than four inches in length,
to a tiny Oriental God, just over
an inch. They were carved from
semi-precious minerals.
They were not insured, accord
ing to Dr. John D. Ridge, profes
sor and head of the department
of mineral economics.
Dr. Ridge said yesterday there
is a possibility that it was an “in
side job.” He said the person
knew how to remove the objects
from the glass case without
breaking the glass or the lock.
He said he also believes that
the person was interrupted while
removing the figurines—as six
were left behind.
A similar theft occurred Oct. 1
at the Brooklyn Museum When
eight silver figurines were stolen
from a glass case. They were later
located when the boys who had
taken them were apprehended.

Approximately $l5O has beeni
collected from 23 entrants for the]
Town Independent Men pushcart
race to be held at 2 p.m. today on
the parking lot beside Beaver

but any donation will be accepted.
All funds in excess of expenses
will be given to the Campus
Chest.
The winner of the contest will
receive $25 and a trophy.
Carts for the race will be sup
plied by TIM. Students will have
an opportunity to compete in a
trial heat, after which they will
be divided into groups of seven
for the preliminary heats. The
winners of these heats will com
pete in the final heat for the win
ner of the pushcart race.

weight plank with one wheel
which will wobble. The cart is
pushed by the entrant. The course
is short, making the contest one
of skill and luck rather than one
of speed and endurance.

event.

C. Conant came from Bonn to reiterate
news conference in which he also spoke
for the British and French, say
ing:
“The position of our govern
ments in regard to the status of
Berlin is unchanged. We insist
that the quadripartite status of
Berlin remains unaltered.”
Conant conferred with the U.S.
Berlin staff and with German city
officials during his one-day visit
to explore the incident which
stirred the latest East-West con
flict here—the detection of two
U.S. congressmen and two other
Amercians by Communist police
and Russian guards in East Ber
lin last Sunday.
Ambassador Am axed
The ambassador said he was,
like the U.S. commandant in Ber
lin, Maj. Gen. Charles L. Dasher,
amazd at the stand Soviet com
mander P. A. Dibrova took to
ward the incident. Dibrova said
the radio-equipped Army car
used by the congressmen and
their escort violated laws of the
East German Communist repub
lic.
He emphasized that the Rus
sians regard their occupation of
East Berlin as ended. Therefore,
Dibrova said, the laws of sur
rounding East Germany now ap
ply to the East Berlin Soviet sec
tor.
Status "Nonexistent"
Earlier today, the Communist
newspaper Neues Deutschland de
clared the four-power status of
Berlin is “nonexistent.”
To the Russian and the Ger
man Communist statements, Con
ant replied:
“I should never have imagined
that the Soviet authorities would
allow their agents, the Volkspo
lizei (people’s police), to take such
a discourteous and arbitrary ac
tion against a member of the
United States command here in
Berlin and his guests.”
Russians Opposed
He said the Western powers do
not recognize the Communist re
gime in the East, they do not ac
cept the Russian abrogation of
the 10-year-old four-power agree
ments on Berlin and they will
continue to hold the Russians re
sponsible for the proper treat
ment of Allied citizens in East
Berlin.

FMA Board
To Discuss
Vendor Bids
The Fraternity Marketing As
sociation board of trustees will
discuss spring semester contract
bids to be sent to possible food
vendors at t pjn. Monday at
142 MacAUister street.
According to Harold W. Per
kins, assistant dean of men, food
vendors under contract to FMA
have been giving non-member
fraternities the same discount on
foodstuffs as. FMA receives.
FMA must subtract a service
charge from the discounts, and
therefore must give members a
smaller discount than non-mem
ber houses Teceive, he said.
The board will discuss the pos
sibility of including a clause in
contracts which would bind ven
dors that service FMA to give the
group a large enough discount to
compensate for the service charge,
Perkins said. Then FMA would
be able to give larger discounts
to members than non-member
houses receive from the same
dealers, he added.
- The board will also hear, a sug
gestion that. FMA expand its Serv
ices, and a report on fraternity
participation in FMA thus far
this year.
