He tried to sell the story to the

Just as the two duelists were

there would be no duueling m the

The gallants then decided to go

This situation amply justified" the
Treasury, he said. in placing the limit
of tax reduction at $500, 900.
The slight excess in the amount ap-
proved by the committee, he thought.
would be taken care of by normal
growth in business.
Chairman Green said he expected
the committee, which will meet again
tomorrow, to complete the drafting of
the tax reduction bill this week, thus
assuring early consideration by the
House soon after Congress convenes
December Z.
As agreed upon by the committee.
the bill will provide for widespread
reductions in all income tax rates, in
creased personal exemptions. repeal of

Rear Entry Fails.
Hours of futile work were spent in
trying to pick a hole in the vault
through the brickwork at the rear.
Great piles of cement and broken
brick We're found Uttered over the
room by shipping clerks who arrived
at O'Clock this morning. Castings
from the corner of the vault were
piled on the managers desk. But on
top of the vault the robbers found a
six-inch layer of cement and aban-
doned that plan. They then applied
croWbars and an 1S-pound sledge ham
mer, and after breaking off the COM
blnation of the vault door, inserted
a charge of explosive and blasted the
door open. Inside they found the
safe, which was dragged into the office
and its door pried off.
The loss was estimated by Russell
Cline, manager of the branch, at be-
tween $500 and $500. which he be-
Heved was all covered by insurance.
Fred Sandberg, fingerprint expert
OF the Police Department, and Head
quarters Detective Thomas Walsh

Investigators Handicapped.
The fact that the robbers, after com
pleting their job, slammed the door
of the vault shut handicapped the
work of detectives this morning, as
they were unable TO work the COM
