Measure Exempting D. C.
Non-Profit Schools Is
Passed by House.

Early action is expected by the Sem
ate District Committee on the bill the
House passed yesterday to exempt re-
ligious institutions and non-profit
schools and universities from the pay
roll tax in the local unemployment
insurance law.
Chairman King plans to poll the
Senate committee on the measure to-
day and may be ready to report it
favorably late this afternoon. The
amendment to the local law would
conform with the provisions Of the
national social security law.
Three other bills were introduced in
the Senate yesterday by Senator King
and referred to his committee for
study, as follows: To codify and re-
write the District code, to increase
the penalties for reckless driving and
a measure, previously introduced in
the House. to authorize merger Of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas

Senator King has felt for several
years that the District code of laws
should be revised and brought up to
date. The King measure proposes
to have the codification carried on
under the direction of the House and
Senate District Committees, and
would authorize $4,000 for the neces-
sary expenses. The committees would
have authority to employ two attor-
neys and other personnel.
With preference given to the GRIM
inal statutes, the new code would
be presented to Congress for ap-
proval in sections, and the commit
tees would be authorized to submit
any new provisions deemed neces-
sary, as well as to restate existing

BALLSTON BANDITS.
ELUDE SEARCHERS.
Justice Agents Join Wide
Hunt for Pair in Rob-
berry of Bank.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


BALLSTON, Va, February IL
Department of Justice agents together
with Arlington County. Northern Vir-
ginia and Washington police were
searching today for two gunmen who
escaped with about $4,000 after a
daring daylight hold-up of the Balls
ton, Va, branch of the Old Dominion
Bank yesterday afternoon.
The bandits barely escaped police
dragret a few moments after the
robbery, abandoning the stolen car
they were using and fleeing on foot.
The car, containing a sawed-off
shotgun, was found on C street north
west, near Nineteenth, soon after the
robbery was reported. Persons in the
vicinity told detectives they saw two
men leap from the car and run.
Looked Up at Gun
It was about LAS pm. that Cam
eron r. Dye. 27. cashier of the bank,
looked up from the counter to see
a sawed-of shotgun levelled at him.
Just then the telephone started ring
ing.
"Shall answer it?" he asked the
gunman.
Never mind, stay where you are, "
he was ordered.
Dye said his hands were on the
counter and he asked If he should
raise them. The gunman again told
him to remain motionless.
Meanwhile, the second bandit, who
carried a revolver, scaled the top Of
the cashiers cage. tied Dyes hands
behind him. gagged him with a
| woman's stocking, and scopped up
money in the till. No effort was made
to open the safe, which bank officials
said, contained larger sum.
Walks Into Hold-up.
| During the hold-up, Harry w. Cup
/ pett, hardware dealer and director
! of the bank, walked in and was him
self bound and forced to lie on the
floor. The pair took $40 from him.
Mrs. Harriet Thompson also en-
tered with $50 in her hand. but the
bandits told her I'VE don't take money
from ladies'"
Leaping into the car, which they
had stolen from Rosslyn garage, the
gunner careened around corner
about two blocks from the bank, strik-
ing a car operated by Mrs. Louise p
Engel of Ballston.
Both cars sustained bent tenders
As the bendits sped away, Welbourn
Howell, garage employe, who heard
the crash, noted the license number
of the fleeing machine and gave it to
police.
A description of the men and the
car they were using was broadcast
Scout cars rushed to all bridges lead
ing into the city, but the bandits had
crossed the Potomac a few moments
before.
officials of the bank today said the
exact amount of the loss had not yet
been ascertained. They announced
the bank was covered by insurance
against theft.
The Justice agents interviewed Dye
last night but made no announcement
