Abbeville Firm Is Hit By Burglars ABBEVILLE A large safe and cigarette vending machine was found robbed by burglars who broke into Prince Motor Company here last night. Money and cigarettes were taken from both safes and cigarette machine, but no estimate as to how much was disclosed. An investigation is underway by SLED Lt. Harold Fortson of Greenwood and Abbeville Police Chief Fletcher Johnson and Officer G.

L. Duggan. The robbery was discovered around 7:30 a.m. when W. T.

Mundy, an employe, reported for work. Mundy found the machine and safe missing from the front office and showroom and found them about 30 feet away in the garage. The door of the safe was pried off. and ledger books, valuable papers and records were lying on the floor beside the safe. The cigarette machine was next to the safe with the doors opened.

A sledge hammer and crow bar was lying next to the cigarette machine. Also found was a small plastic bag of pennies with a few dollars in halves with them. Harold Prince, of the company said, "Evidently they were only after folding money, because there was also a dollar bill in the Dag, end it Is sone too." Chief Johnson pointed out that probably more than one robber was involved, due to the damage and weight of both of the ma chines. The safe had non-swiveling type rollers on it, and Prince estimated it to weigh between 800 and 1,000 pounds. "It probably took a lot of strength to carry both the safe and cigarette machine back into the garage, and whoever it was most likely had a hard time opening them, particularly the safe," Prince said.

No evidence was discovered as of this morning as to where the robbers entered the place. None of the windows were broken. On A Spree Of Burning LEXINGTON. Ky. (AP) A farmer enraeed because he.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Sen-, ate Foreign Relations Committee released testimony today that a Washington lobbyist for Philippine sugar interests purchased $8,600 in cashier checks in 1960 for political contributions to candidates for both parties. The disclosure was made at a public hearing at which Chairman J.

William Fulbright, also produced a series of documents detailing years of lob- ying activity by John A. 0'Don- nell in behalf of the $73-million Philippine war damage claims bill which Congress finally enacted last year. One document purported to show that campaign contributions to friendly candidates for Congress were made with cashier checks purchased from the Union Trust Co. of Washington Oct. 12, 1960 from an $18,000 fund supplied by O'Donnell's Philippine clients.

O'Donnell was questioned by the Senate committee in a secret session March 1. A lawyer, he is a registered agent for the Philippine Sugar Association. Among his purported campaign contributions was one of $2,000 to Rep. Clement J. Zablocki, who introduced the war claims damage bill in the House.

At that time, the younger Mc Cormack was a candidate for Massachusetts attorney general He was a candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for the Senate last year but lost to Edward M. Kennedy, younger brother of the President. Kennedy also won the election and is now in the Senate.

Goolsby suffered from catatonic schizophrenia, an illness that allows the victim to take frequent departures from reality.

(AP) Machinists union officials here sound ed a cautious note of optimism today in their hopes for a new contract agreement with the Boe ing but admitted the final outcome rested upon a vote by Wichita, members. Union workers at the big aerospace firm's installation at Cape Canaveral, set up picket lines after rejecting the proposal Wednesday.

A spokesman said the lines would remain until the Wich ita Vote was taken and tabulated Friday. Seattle employes voted 7, 892 to 4,298 in favor of acceptance Wednesday and unofficial returns from other smaller, scattered Boe ing operations raised the total to 8,315 yes and 4,953 no.

The blaze stopped traffic safety. Kennedy, who will address the editors annual meeting Friday, told his April 3 news conference that some 4,000 Soviet troops had left in the preceding month, in addition to tne 5,000 pulled out in November. At the height of last fall's crisis over Soviet missile bases in Cuba, there were an estimated 21,000 to 22,000 Soviet troops on the island. So the President's report indicated a remaining total of only 12,000 or 13.000. Keating resuming With relish his role as a foremost Republican critic of Kennedy's Cuban policies drew afresh on the undisclosed intelligence sources with which he has been challenging the administration for montivs.

"Several thousand personnel have left Cuba, several thousand more have arrived," he said. "Furthermore, they should not be called troops when they are on their way out and technicians when they are on their way in. "There is no reliable evidence whatsoever of a decline in Soviet military strength or capability since those first withdrawals in November." He charged also that some U.S. Navy ships have specific orders not to searchlight the small ves sels which he said constantly ply Cuban and Caribbean waters at night. He mentioned "Navy personnel" as his source of this information.

Despite U.S. surveillance designed to block the shipment from Cuba of "weapons, personnel and other tools of subversion" to other Latin-American countries, Keating told the editors: "None of these ships are ever searched by U.S. patrols. "How can we hope to get evi dence of support of subversion," he went on, "if we don't investigate these small scale but very numerous operations? "I have never been impressed by the view that we are going to gain any concessions by relaxing pressure on the Soviets." Keating was the first major speaker before the 450 editors who, later in the afternoon, were to hear from the administration's first team in foreign policy-Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Undersecretaries George W. Ball and W.

Averell Harriman. The senator's topic was "Bipartisanship: The Lessons of Cuba," but his central theme was that Kennedy cannot expect real bipartisan support on Cuba from Congress or the public until there is a firm policy to support "some over-all, long-term, consistent program to dislodge the Soviets." Disunity also is fostered, Keating went on, when attempts are made to "discredit the motives and sincerity of every critic." The senator contended that politics stops at the water's edge only when the party in power shows full confidence in, and provides for full consultation with, the minority party. Both parties have made serious blunders in Cuba and must share "bipartisan blame" for the "lack of any consistent policy" in dealing with developments there, Keating said. The society's freedom of infor mation committee, headed by editor John H. Colburn of the Wichita (Kan.) tagle and Beacon, ore- sented a report warning that a policy of news maniDulation for propaganda effect would have grave consequences.

The report said administration press officers have not refuted evidence that some information was "purposely distorted for purposes of propaganda deception." "If the country should establish the use of news as a weapon of national policy a policy of manipulation and deception we will have undermined the bedrock of free society," the report said. Exile Activities To Be Investigated WASHINGTON (AP)-A Senate subcommittee will hold hearings soon on the recent activities of Cuban refugees and their effect on this country's refugee program. Sen.
