(CP Wirephoto) Nehru's View Of Red Moves NEW DELHI (AP) -- Prime Minister Nehru told Parliament today "the Soviet and East Ger- man authorities could easily argue that they can control the movement from East to West Berlin." This was his first comment on the question of Soviet sealing off of East Berlin. He appeared to come on the side of the Rus- |sians and oppose the Western view.

By ANTHONY WHITE LONDON (AP) -- Detectives believe that the thief who stole the $392,000 Goya portrait of the Duke of Wellington hid with it for more than 12 hours in Brit- ain's National Gallery, then walked out with it under a top- coat or in a briefcase. The 19th-century masterpiece, centre of a British - American controversy over its ownership earlrie this summer, was taken from its place in the gallery Monday night. The theft was discovered Tuesday morning. The head and chest portrait of the Iron Duke, Britain's vic- tor at Waterloo, was last seen by the gallery's security guards at 7:40 p.m. A guard noticed it was gone at 10:08 p.m. and re- {ported it, but it was thought it had been moved to another part of the building since the fra- gile panel on which it was painted was due for repair. There was no sign of forced $2,000,000 were stolen from the Insp. Dickie. entry and no word that signifi- cant fingerprints had been found. Investigators evolved this the- ory of the thief's movements: He hid himself inside the gal- lery just before closing time. From. his hiding place he timed the movements of the five night security guards. Then he nipped out when the room was empty, grabbed the painting and scur- ried back to his hiding place. Wehn the gallery filled with vis- itors Tuesday morning, he calmly walked out, The painting measured 25% by 201% inches, small enough to go into an oversize briefcase or under a voluminous topcoat. Guards were placed on air- felds and ports amid speculation that the theft was the work of the gang believed responsible for a rasn of art thefts in France during the last two years.
