Although the Negro has confess ed to twelve of the recent wave of * burglaries here since November 17, he emphatically denies entering any home in the area. The card was found in the wash room of one of the places burglar ized and Chief A. A. Cobb and Po licemen K. M. Fail and H. F. Pope Immediately went to the Roberts home. They found the loot from several of the burglaries, including a quantity of bullets, pocket knives, flashlights and other items. OTHERS RELEASED Three other Negroes arrested at the Roberts home were released after questioning by officers failed to implicate them in any of the burglaries. Subjected to intensive question ing by Chief of Polioe A. A. Cobb, Constable O. R. Pearce and other officers, Roberts finally broke down and amitted the theft. The method of operation in all of the crimes was the same with entry gained fiy breaking out the glass in most ases. Roberts was formerly employed at Pope and Mixon, one of the places he admitted entering, and was familiar with the layout in most of the other burglarized premises. The loot was small in most of the burglaries, although Roberts admitted that he used tools found at the Farmer’s Supply Co., in a vain attempt to open the safe. Another Negro, ’ Walter Parker, who admitted that he bought a rifle from Roberts, which Roberts had stolen from J. R. Cannady's store, was arrested on a charge of receiving stolen goods. He was re leased on bond of S2OO. Roberts is still being held in Jail on an open charge, but Chief Cobb said he would be charged with breaUng knd entering and larceny. The fWin be drawn as and Roberts will probably ijfc gijen a hearing before Ju4gr*'TT Pfcul ‘Strickland tomorrow morning.

(Continued on wt two) Allied Chief Is Heard At NATO Assembly PARIS (IP) Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgwav said today the 50 Allied divisions now stationed in Western Europe are far short of the minimum necessary for defense. Ridgway, supreme Allied com mander in Europe, gave his blunt warning to the military committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganizat’ou, meeting here. The former commander in chief in Korea was summoned to report on the state of Europe's defenses as tested in gigantic war games this fall. Ridgway said at the buildup since the last big NATO meeting in Lisbon in February gave him enough troops and planes to form a defensive “shield" around Westr ern Europe. “FAR FROM ADEQUATE” But. he added, his armies are still far from adequate to resist an all-out drive by Russia’s 175 divisions which recently have been given more modern weapons to increase their fire power. American Adm. Lynde D. Mc- Cormick, overall NATO naval com mander in the Atlantic, said the massive “Operation Mainbrace” naval maneuvers in the Atlantic in the fall showed considerable pro gress toward assuring success in any new battle of the Atlantic. But. he emphasized, his fleets need considerable strengthening in the face of Russia’s reported fleet of 500 submarines-built or building.
