Shafer Urges Steps
Be Taken at Once to.
Stop Bank RObberies

Warning that the bank robbery
situation will rapidly become SER
ious In North Dakota unless PROMPT
and efficient steps are taken to curb
the activities of bandits was issued
here today by Attorney General
George +. Shafer.
Citing the robbery of banks at
Verona and Bremen as examples.
Shafer said that prevention is the
best and practically the only cure. It
is too easy for robbers to cut tele-
phone wires and escape in automo-
biles to make any other system cf-
fectivc, Shafe- said.
Police and particularly sheriffs
should take immediate steps to pro-
vide protection for banks in small
towns during the thrcshing season.
Shafer said. II necessary special
deputies should be appointed for that
purpose.
His experience with such cases. he
said, is that bank robbers always
survey banks which they intend TO
raid and stay carefully away from
those where provision has been made
for protection. "They have no desire
to attempt a robbery where thc.
know they will meet opposition"
Shafer said. Naturally they pick
on banks which they know are un-
protected"
