PAYROLL SAVED
 BY CLEVER RUSE OF SHOP EMPLOYE
Three Bandits Attempted to Rob Ford Plant at
 SOmerville

Somerville, Mass, March 27-- UP)-A ruse by a quick-thinking doorman today frustrated a day light raid by three unmasked ban dits who sought to seize payroll estimated at as much ata $8O,000, at the Ford Motor Company's Somerville assembly plant.
 You're very foolish. You're all covered outside Edward T.. Meadville of Medford, 2S-year- old doorman, told two of the ban dits after they had forced him at gunpoint to escort them halfway down a corridor leading to the main office.
 Skeptical at first, the bandits took him seriously and walked back with him halfway to the main gate. There they were joined by an accomplice, who had served as lookout, and all three drove off in an automobile.
 Just Came From Bank
 Coincidentally the payroll, which had just arrived from a bank in an armored car, was delivered today through side gate instead of the main entrance where 1t was usually taken.
 At the time of the hold-up, the payroll was in the building, an ex- pansive one-story structure, but had not yet been delivered to the main office.
 Meadville was just locking the main entrance, to safeguard the payroll soon to arrive, when two of the bandits surprised him, stuck a pistol against him, and ordered him to lead them to the office.

Mayor Frank Hayes, Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, Finance Commissioner Charles B. Jackson, and city and town of- ficials from all over the state where public service puants are operated strongly opposed the bill this aft ern0on.
 Called Vicious Bill
 Rep. Thoms, himself a member of the judiciary committee, de- clared that the bill was piece of "vicious legislation" He said it was. offered to him to introduce by Public Utilities Commission and that he was neither sponsor ing nor supporting 1t. 1t was purely at their request that he pre- sented 1t, he asserted.
 It was also learned to-day that an effort was made yesterday to have the Public Utilities Commis- sion withdraw the bill, but the offer was refused.
 Could Set the Rates
 The bill gives the commission the right to set rates and super vise the operation of all municipal service plants. Waterbury's valu- abl1 water works would naturally come under the commissions juris- diction in the event of passage. De- spite the millions the city has spent in their development and up- keep control over them would rest in the state body and the board of aldermen or finance would have nothing to say in the matter of establishing water rates, etc.
