Brit- Santa Claus Gang Got $126, MONTREAL (CP) The Santa Claus gang who shot and killed two policemen during a bank robbery last Friday es- caped with a total of $126,500 in loot, police revealed today. More than $60,000 in cash and United. States and Canadian tra- vellers' cheques still are miss- ne loot had been set at $12,- 000 originally, of which only $2,- 000 was supposed to have been in cash. Police said today, however, the killers escaped with $6,500 in cash, $56,000 worth of travel- lers' cheques and $64,000 worth of unregistered, negotiable sav- ings bonds. : The savings bonds were re- covered in the getaway car used by the four-man ang. It was found, along with the Santa Claus suit worn by the man who fired the fatal shots, a few hours after the robbery.

An M-1 United States Army rifle was found Saturday in a cluster of pipes a few hundred feet from the bank. Shells matching the rifle were found! immediately after the holdup. OFFER $25,000 REWARD Meanwhile, a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the four bandits was announced. The reward coasisted of $15,- 000 offered by the Canadian Im- perial Bank of Commerce and $10,000 by the Canadian Bank- ers' Association. Police were under orders to take no chances with the killers and were ordered to shoot on sight.

At least three freighters--the Brazilian Loide Honduras, the Norwegian Black Eagle and the American Custis Woods--were driven aground along the con- tinental coastline. A fourth ship, the Belgian "pirate" radio ship Uylenspie- gel, was driven ashore and used its wireless to send out distress calls instead of its usual pop- ular music. The Uylenspiegel broadcasts music and commercials from outside Belgian territorial wa- ters in defiance of the Belgian government's radio monopoly. The ship went aground in Dutch territory and thus escaped seiz- ure by Belgian authorities. The gale was so strong in Sweden it flickered seismolog- ical instruments at Uppsala University.

Britain's PM Departs For LONDON (AP) -- Prime Min- ister Macmillan left today for talks in The Bahamas with President Kennedy, expressing confidence that "we will find a way through our difficu!ties" over the Skybolt missile. "At this moment after Cuba," Macmillan told reporters, "we have to try to make a reassess- ment of the ition between East 'and West.

Canadian delegate Lt.-Gen. E. L. M. Burns said _ the Soviet delegation frequently asked for business-like discus- sion but the West considered it unrealistic and unbusinesslike to} accept a proposition before it knew what it was accepting. Burns said he had teen un- able to find in the record even one new fact about a Russian proposal for the retention of a limited number of nuclear mis- siles until the end of the sec- ond stage of a three-stage dis- armament process. The 'proposal, a modification of previous Soviet insistence on elimination of all nuclear deliv ery vehicles; was made by Rus- sian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko before the United Na- tions General Assembly last September. LOOKS PROMISING It is considered some Western diplomats to be poten- tially the most promising move made by the Soviet Union since the = started last Burns said the number of missiles retained should be suf- fucient to retain deterrence against suprise attack for both sides. Other problems to be worked out were the timing of reduction of nuclear . missiles and provisions for the inspec- tion of their demolition. Burns said both sides must| recognize that neither side has any interests which would be benefitted by the destruction by nuclear weapons of the other side, or any considerable part of its people or wealth. Both sides should also resolve to abandon the race for nuclear * superiority. "This would really mean tak- ing the path to co-existence in a peaceful world, and not con- tinuing to drive along the broad highway to co - extermination," he said.
