FBI Agents Nab Ex-Convict Trying To Dig up $248,000 Worth of Loot FORTH FORTH UP — Hiding police and FBI agents collared a Fort Worth ex-convict early today as he arrived at a vacant field carrying a garden hoe to dig up loot taken in a $248,000 robbery of two exiled Cubans. The officers dug up $128,000 buried in a paraffin-scaled thermos jug near Axle, 18 miles northwest of here. They said the money was part of the loot taken from Manuel F. Madriaga and Candido de la Torre at the swank Western Hills hotel here a month ago today. Following up a tip, officers set up a trap and caught Floyd Hill, as he showed up at the open field where the money was buried. He offered no resistance. Hill was arrested a month after Monga and de la Torre were robbed by a masked, tommy-gun young bandit who bound them with wire in their hotel room. The Cubans said $240,000 of the money was turned over to them by ousten Cuban President Carlos Prio Socarras. Detective A. C. Howerton said they intended to use the money to buy munitions for a counter-revolution against Cuban President Fulgencio Batista. Three men have been charged in the case, Orville Lindsay Chambless, 35, surrendered to Oklahoma City officers Oct. 4. He was freed on bond and was wounded Oct. 25 by a gunman who fired a blast of buckshot through a window of his Oklahoma City home. Gene Paul Norris, 31, was captured Oct. 6 at Duncan, Okla. He is in county jail in Fort Worth. Sam Cresap, 40, Fort Worth car salesman, charged with complicity in interstate transportation of stolen property, is free on bond.

William Knowland R-Calif. hinted that President Truman declassified a top secret document "in order to protect" Sen Wayne Morse only after he asked the attorney general whether Morse had violated the law by disclosing its contents. Morse read the document in a Minneapolis speech last Monday in an attempt to back up his contention that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower had a hand in recommending withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea in 1947. Morse, an Oregon Republica, has quit the Republican Party and has been campaigning for the Democratic presidential slate. Knowland said he telegraphed the attorney general early yesterday—before the president declassified the document-citing the law against disclosure of such documents. He also asked what the Justice Department and FBI were doing about it. After the president made the document public, Knowlahd said: "In't it strange that the Department of State and the Department of National Defense were not notified of this declassification? "Or has this declassification now taken place in the light of my wire to the attorney general, in order to protect Sen. Morse from violation of the law? Knowland also challenged the president to allow a bi-partisan senatorial committee to check all classified documents to determine whether they should be made public."

Mickey Mantle Rejected by Army WASHINGTON (AP)—The Army today held New York Yankee star Mickey Mantle physically unfit for military service. The finding, based on new examinations, renewed a previous ruling. Maj. Gen. George E. Armstrong, Army surgeon general, made the announcement after examining the record of physical examinations recently conducted at Fort Sill, Okla. Armstrong said the current disqualification of the baseball player was based on a chronic usat knee defect resulting from an injury sustained in the 1951 World Series. The Army examination found his condition to be "serious enough for mandatory rejection under Armed Forces physical standards." Mantle had been rejected previously because of a history of osteomyelitis of the left leg. Under earlier military physical standards such a bone disease was cause for mandatory rejection when involving the long bones. Present military standards, however, permit acceptance of men with such a history provided there have been no recurrences for a period of two years. Mantle's current rejection, therefore, was not based on the osteomyelitis, the Army explained.
