The record showed that Robin-j son apparently dropped out of: sight for some weeks and was finally arrested on a warrant about a month later. He also was questioned closely yesterday by Judge Henri Masson Loranger. The judge pressed him to explain how it was that he had been operating five anti-polio clinics on the South Shore in August 1959 Quebec and from the Microbiology tified that he later tried to entice into a Provincial Police net the stranger named "Bob" who had sold him the stolen vaccine on Sept.

He said that several days after the purchase of the 6,000 odd vials of vaccine, he was again in touch with "Bob" by telephone and invited him to a rendez-vous in a St. Hubert St. bar where he planned to trap him into police custody. But "Bob" failed to show up, and Robinson acknowledged that after a wait of "perhaps two hours" he "got panicky" and slipped out of a rear door and away from Provincial Police detectives concealed in the area.

Institute itself. He adimtted the druggist had of Jean Tau! Robinson yesterday failed to seriously discredit his story that he acted solely as a public-spirited citizen in handling the 6,800 odd shots of Salk vaccine stolen in an armed holdup during the 1953 epidemic. Robinson, 34, a Royal Canadian Navy veteran, who directs a convalescent home on the South Shore, pictured himself as a devoted anti-polio worker in August 1059, scurrying about organizing Salk clinics and making unauthorized redistributions of vaccine provided by Quebec. Crown Prosecutor Claude Wagner, in a day-long interrogation of the man accused of the Microbiology Institute holdup, on Aug. 31, 1959, exposed some improperly explained details in his story, but Robinson still held to his contention he had merely "retrieved" the stolen vaccine from the robbers.

Cuba has offered to sell sugar to Japan with only 25 per cent of the cost to be paid in cash, it was reported yesterday. Cuba would receive the remainder of the cost in Japanese goods. The offer was made by Cuba's embassador to Mario Al-zugaray, at a recent banquet given in his honor in Tokyo by Japanese Foreign Minister Zen-taro Kosaka. Alzugaray also said Cuba planned to spend 50,000,000 pesos on merchant ships, and it would be "logical" to assume that Japanese shipyards would receive most of the orders.
