Machine Gun Bandits Stage
Daring HoIdup.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 3d.
Machine-gun bandits, believed
responsible for two other spectac-
ular robberies in the last two weeks,
today hijacked a United States
mail truck, kidnapped the driver and
escaped with an estimated $129, 900
in currency.
Part of the loot was consigned to
the B. M. G. Durfee Trust Co. from
the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos-
ton for pay rolls in Fall River mills.
Five masked men drove an auto
mobile up to the mail truck, driven
by Herbert Reid. They leaped on
Reid, tied him up, and took him
and the truck to a spot near the
Providence highway, where both
machines were later found. The
bandits apparently fed in third

Need of quick relief was en-

another cold wave tonight, which is
expected to send Thermometers to

a warm sun began to thaw the ice

KarpiS Hunted Here

Federal agents and police today
we're checking tips that Alvin
Karpis was in Indianapolis. Squads
rushed to parking lot, 221 E. New

that men resembling Karpis and
his pal, Harry Campbell, were in a
coupe there. When police arrived,
Charles Lydy, attendant, said the
men had left. The license was In

The cold was blown into In

Mr.. Arlington said below-zero
weather in indianapolis is unusual
and that the thermometer usually
descends so far only few times a
winter.
He said that a large depression,
or warm area, had been loafing
over the North Pacific all winter
long. and occasionally sends shoots
of itself over the country to bring
relief, or even unreasonable warm
spells. A shoot of this will bring
Slight relief tomorrow.
Meanwhile the traffic hazard in
the city was greatly increased as
friction melted a thin snow in the
streets and transformed it to ice
that made cars unruly.
There is not likely to be any pre-
cipitation with this atmospheric
storm, Mr.. Arlington said, and fair
weather that existed today will prob
ably continue.
Alarmed at the prediction, local
relief agencies worked hard today
to prepare themselves to meet an

of clothing, fuel and food. The cold
