State Trooper John Power reported that only 8 few minutes before the accident, he had stopped the car in Birmingham and reprimanded the driver for Speed- ing. The five graduate nurses, all of whom were taking special courses at Harvard Medical School, were enroute to Washington, D. C., for 8 3ortnight'S vacation.

Such men put weapons m the hands of those who would end the freedom of the press" Milton said that, while the people had found no government control over the press not involving dangers poten- tially greater than those they would prohibit, there was no constitu- tional guarantee of the power of the press should readers cease to heed it in distrllst.
 The ability of the editorial page to exert influence was impeached by H. l.. Mencken, Baltimore Eve ming Sun writer and former editor of the American Mercury, on the contention that "the great masses are shy of logic and can be reached only by appeals to their feelings"
 Defending the editorial page Tn his prepared speech because 8 pre- ponderance of letters from his read CTS had endorsed 1t, Edson K. Bixby, editor uf the Springfield (Moo Leader and Press and News, de- clared that the power of the press springs frnm its editorials. He said it Is questionable whether the press has had the influence claimed for it. He cited defeats at the polls.

Po- lice believed West was shot by an- other office worker as there was no evidence the trio had used a shot gun and revolver with which they menaced the help.
 Money Just Delivered
 The attempted holdup occurred few minutes after the money was delivered from a bank. Two of the men, one carrying the shotgun and the other the revolver, entered the office while the third remained on guard outside.
 Demanding everyone in the of- flee stick 'em up," they started toward the money piles but became panicky when the paymaster drew his gun. In their haste to gain the street and join their companion one of the men dropped his weapon. Several shots were fired after them.
 Authorities believed there might have been an automobile waiting for them but the driver sped away upon hearing the shots. One of the fleeing men communicated a pas- sing car which he abandoned after a short flight. Actions of the ban dits led police to believe they were
