The arm of the Justice Department
agent is expected to reach out soon
TO protect the small town bank, long
victimized by Americas 5000 known
bank robbers.
The "G-men," who collared nearly
40 robbers of national banks last
year, are called on to shield another
$4,000, 100000 under provision
tucked away in the new banking bill,

ber, frightened away from big game"

would be given orders to track down
robbers who steal any of the SAL ,0o0,-
100000 deposits in 1920 banks, Ma
tional and State.
Since the ertry of the agents into
the bank sector of the war on crime.
there has beer a sharp drop in the
number of bank robberies, Justice De-
partment figures show.
The violent ending of the careers
of John Diilinger Pretty Boy" Floyd,

A lone fingerprint on door or
money tray may send bank robber

prints, start working on the case.
Working on 1875 bank robberies in
