Republicans Blast
‘Carping Criticism’ in
Stevenson’s Speech
By the Associated Press '
Republicans angrily blasted a
Thursday night speech by Adlai
Stevenson, Democratic presiden
tial nominee.
Sen. Knowland <R-Calif>, com
ing from a political talk with
President Eisenhower, said Ste
venson’s Harrisburg, Pa., speech
was filled with “carpig criticism”
and “mis-statements.”
Knowland said, “While Mr. Ste
venson now issues a warning on
the drift toward Communism,
within the last week or two he
has held out the hope for an early
end of the draft and for the end
of American testing of the atomic
weapons—the latter despite the
fact that within the past few
weeks there have been four addi
tional atomic tests by the Soviet
Union.”
Rep. Shalleck (R-Ind), referring
to Stevenson’s statement that he
trusts the people, said, “If Mr.
Stevenson truly trusts the Ameri
can people, why is he trying to
scare them to death with his grim
descriptions and prophecies of
gloom at home and doom in the
world?”

Robber Tells How He and 8 Others
On Trial Took $1,219,000 From Brinks
BOSTON, Ufi—Joseph “Specs”
O'Keefe bluntly told a superior
court jury he robbed the Brinks
headquarters of $1,219,000 and
the eight men on trial were with
him.
He testified as a state witness
Friday that the robbery was in
the planning stage for over two
years.
He said that members of the
gang broke into Brink's at least
15 times to study the physical
layout of the place before the
robbery was carried out on the
►
night of Jan. 17, 1950.
O’Keefe said various methods
of getting their hands on the big
loot were discussed before it fi
nally^was decided to invade the
vault rooms with guns.
Among the methods considered,
he said, was to bring in a safe
cracker blindfolded—so he would
not know where he was—to
“burn” a hole through the valult,
but that idea finally was dis
carded.
Led thru his expose by Asst.
Dist. Atty. Frederick Z. Doyle,
O’Keefe; related the plan for rob
bing Brink’s first came up late
in 1947, when the Boston offices
of the money-carrying firm were
located in the Chamber of Com
merce building on Federal St.
The whole scheme, he contin
ued, had to foe delayed when it
was learned Brinks was moving
to a new location—on the second
floor of the North Terminal Ga
rage on the waterfront in Boston’s
teeming North End.
The robbery plan was reacti
vated, O’Keefe said, when Brink’s
settled into its new headquarters.
At the new location, members
of the gang made frequent night
time exploration, opening locked
doors with an icepick and a piece
of celluloid.
