EISENHOW IB - FOL OW PR IMARY In a sh1ngton - mov to bring General Ike back to t he Unit ed States. And that might seem to fit th e hopes of / hia Eisenhower sup orters, who want 1 rt al " ) ~ to make personal appearance., over h re, campa igning for nomination. Dut, no, the move to bring the General back home is on the Democratic side. So, you might suspect - angles. Today, in the House of Representatives, Congressman Mike Mansfield, the Montana Democrat, joined a campaign to have Eisenhower testify in the congressional hearings ofl the seven b1111on,n1ne hundred million foreign aid program.

ROBBERY At Reno, La Vere Redfield says, the in c ome tax people have expressed an tld■ru interest in the huge robbery, ot which be was a v1ct1.JI, twelve days ago. The Redfield home was robbed , ot two-and-a-half - million in cash, Jewels and bonds. Even ao, the big money Mn still had a million doll a rs• worth ot bonds lett 1n the house. Huge uounts of wealth - kept in the dcaeat1c abode. But, says Redfield, the tax 1nvest1gatora are uking, what he caila - "just a routine check. I always paid 1111 taxes," he protests, and adds: "I can•t understand why they keep •king all this fuss over a little thing like that." Well, if a two-and-a-halt.million dollar robbery 1a a little th1na - what would you call a big one? a.it Redfield says that, ' bereatter, he'll keep bis millions ln the bank - not so easy to rob as a Reno mansion. He hopes he uy recover some rlthe loot - II to put in t~aM. Which hope seems a bit better tonight, because of a - beautiful reclheaJ • a•,.._. At a Reno gambling Joint, a lovely doll with ROl&IRY - 2 Titian hair, was playing blackjack. And - losing plenty, apparently. Because she tried to cash a thousand dollar bill. 'l'hat interesting p1eceor paper was round to be part or the ■one7 taken in the huge robbery. The redhead was questioned, and aaid she got the thousand dollar bill from a un in 1111wa111tee. He waa q11er1ed, in tum - and denies that be waa 1n Reno twelve days ago, when the ledtield robbery happened.
