Robertson said ho had been using a panel truck of the Roherl- son McManus grocery. On driving into his gnrage, he gol out, and momentarily switched on the wage lights while closing one of the garage doors. Then he shirt, off the lights and started to close Ihe other door. Al this juncture, an armed man, who had been concealed In hack of the door, stepped out, and, at point of a pistol, ordered Robertson to hand over his purse.

After taking his purse, lha ban- dii ordered him to hold out his right hand, R.obertson continued. The robber felt his hand, evidently! to determine if he were wearing a ring. Often Robertson wears jeweled ring, but it so happened he had left it at home yesterday, and the bandit found his fingers bare. Robertson then asked his assailant to return lo him the cards and papers he carried in his bill- Charles Levis Marks 87th Birthday; Makes Plane Trip CHARLES LEVIS Prepare Guide Plan for Area Tuesday was Ihe eighty-seventh birthday of Charles Levts and Mr. Levis completed ot home an ob- of the anniversary which at (he end of the week.

One of (ho birthday presents Mr. Levis received was television set given to him by his son, William E. Levis. It was set In place Tuesday at the Levis home, La Vista, and Mr. Levls was able to enjoy watching the Veiled Prophet parade.

For a man of 87 years, Mr. Levis has remarkable youthful appearance and his interest is active in all that is soing on. He gets great enjoyment out of flying and no one ever had any greater thrill out of an aerial frlp than did Mr. Levis in making the flight lo Toledo (o celebrate his eighty- seventh birthday and returning home by plane. Mr.

Levis's principal hobby is his beautiful place overlooking the Mississippi river from the bluff top. LaVista Is in reality a park, well kept and attractive. It is one of the owner's chief joys to share the beauties of the place with friends and others who are admirers of Ihe beauties of nature. The sunken garden during the past season has been perhaps the finest for many miles around. Not even the metropolitan parks could show as well kept a garden as the sunken garden at the Levis place.

robber predicted, the billfold was later found, the papers it contains being undisturbed. Robertson had report made by telephone to the police of (he robbery, and policemen who subsequently searched in the vicinity of the garage found the billfold to the rear of the building. Robertson told police that in the darkness he got only an indistinct view of the hold-up man. It was the more difficult for him to see his assailant, he explained, because he just had turned off his garage lights when waylaid, and his eyes had not had time to rent-custom themselves to the ouldoor darkness in the brief interval taken to carry out the robbery. The robber, he said, seemed of medium height, and was wearing a hat and suit.

Robertson last August completed his thirty-eighth year in the grocery business, the firm that he heads being one of the oldest food businesses in the cily. The aarage at his home, where the robbery took place, is well-known to hundreds of Upper Alton residents.

For years, it has been used as a polls at both city and state elections, and Is the voting place for the first district of Seventh ward to have a wide diversity of pleasures.

The Area Development Commission already has been given official status by approval of the Illinois General Assembly, and, since passage of nn authorizing bill by the Missouri House requires only Missouri Senate action to make It effective, Most Alton restaurants and hotels observed meatless Tuesday in accordance with President Truman's request although some were unnble to change menus on short notice because of reserve meat supplies. Truman's plea was made Sunday, appearing in Monday morning papers. Seafoods came to the rescue of most local menus, replacing meat. Salmon steak, catfish, trout, and froglegs were featured on different bills of fare.

Omelets, too, were popular at Alton eating places. Most of the restaurants that did not observe meatless Tuesday yesterday intend to do so as soon as possible, in most.cases next Tuesday. One restranteur, however, said he did not observe the day Tuesday and did not know whether he would do so in the future or not.

Three-Way Inheritance Tax Split Requested SPRINGFIELD, Oct. '8. UP) inheritance tax receipts have been proposed as a possible new revenue source to help replenish depleted municipal and school district treasuries. Mayor Frank G. Wallin of Wou- kegan suggested to the Illinois Municipal League that the organization call upon the stale legislature to split inheritance tax proceeds three ways.

One-third should be kept by the state and ihe remaining funds divided equally between the school district and cily or village where the deceased resided, Wallis cessfully the nation's crucial battle against economic disaster. The trend of most opposition comment was that Prime Minister Attlee had strengthened his position somewhat by bringing in new blood and eliminating "deadwood," but that still more strength was needed. Four of London's 12 daily newspapers suggeste'd lhat Ihe changes, involving some 30 posts in the government, represented a Socialisl swing to the right. Shinwell's demotion to ihe post of secretary of state for which is no longer of cabinet rank got general conservative approval on the ground that it indicated Altlee felt strong enough politically to buck the expressed wishes of leftwingers. For the most part, the left agreed to go along with Shinwell's successor in the fuel year-old Hugh Gaitskell.

Belgian Premier Replies Premier Paul-Henri Spaek of got the floor and declared lhat "if Ihe force of Ihe orator can be judged by the insults he makes, then he has reached the summit of eloquence." Bebler was called down also by Britain's Hector McNeil, who said the Yugoslav would recover from his "hysteria" and doubtless apologize. Sweden eased the tension with a resolution to set up a new commission lo tackle the Balkans difficulty and thereby defer the whole issue. An American spokesman indicated the United Stales delegation deemed this no solution. The Soviet-American clash turned another committee session yesterday into a noisy outbreak.

8 Ad ministralors of the Taft-Harlley faced a congressional quiz toda? on their decision to exempt top AFL and CIO officials from filing non-Communist pledges under th new law. Chairman Ball (R-Minn) called the five members of the Nationa Labor Relations Board and Rober N. Denham, board general counsel to a closed session of the Senate House "watchdog" committee on. the new labor law. "We won't put them on the spo or anything but we undoubted!) will discuss their decision," Bal told reporters.

The- committee chairman anc Sen. Ives (R-NY) made it clear they think the NLRB's 4 to 1 duling re fleeted the intent of Congress that AFL and CIO officials were not to be included in the law's require ment that union officers must file the pledges. But Sen. Ellender (D-La) contended the NLRB was wrong. He said he feels the AFL and CIO leaders should file the Communism disclaimers, too, although he added that he has no plans how to offer an amendment to the law to accomplish that purpose.

In its ruling th'e NLRB overrode a prior contrary opinion by Den- lam. He had held that the law meant no AFL or CIp unions could use the NLRB's bargaining repre- ientation of grievance procedures, even if their officers signed the pledges, until the top men in the AFL or CIO did likewise. Denham told reporters he in- ends to adopt the board's viewpoint in the future just as a lower court accepts a higher'court's Jur- sprudence. This particularly irked Sen.
