Sumeld Bank Bandits Are Missing With Their Loot

Suffield, Conn, July 9 - (U.P) State Police were reported at a "standstill' today in their search for three bandits who robbed the First National Bank of approxi- mately $11,000 at noon yesterday. The Connecticut troopers, assisted by Massachusetts state police, were securing the area in the vicinity of Lake Congamond, on the border line between Connecticut and Mass achusetts. Two federal agents aided the search, since robbery of Ma tional Bank now was considered a federal crime. The bandits, at least two of whom were armed, dashed from the bank when an alarm was sounded, and fled in car carrying stolen license plates. A resident fol- lowed the machine for a distance, but lost it soon.
 Constable T. B. Cooney said local authorities recently were tipped" a bank robbery was being planned, and added all institutions in the territory were notified to be on the lookout. When the raid did occur, and witnesses said it appeared to be excellently planned, it marked the first bank holdup in the history of the community. Three men were picked up at Monson, Mass, last night in connection with the crime, but when witnesses failed to iden- tify them, they were released. New York State police watched all roads leading from Massachusetts
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-22

Three weeks ago, Earle E. Edward, president of the Windsor Trust Company, notified authorities a suspicious s-looking man entered the bank.
 "He appeared to be looking us over," Earle said.
 Fingerprint experts were unable to get any prints because the bandits, described as between 35 and 40 years old, wore light, white gloves.
 All the cash the robbers obtained came from drawers behind two tel lers cages. They were unable to get into the vault because Shirley Reid, one of the tellers, was unable to open 1t.
 President c. L. Spencer said the loss was covered by insurance. He added the bank each Thursday re- ceives a cash shipment to cover farmers payrolls. But because of the excessive rainfall, payrolls were low this week, he said
 The raid occurred in the home town of States Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, Hartford county prosecutor noted for his running-down oi criminals. Alcorn at the time was at Waterbury where those arrested in connection with the municipa scandal were being put to plea.
 He dispatched an aid to the scene and Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., q son, fol- lowed later.

There Is Nothing to Fear Said Doctor in Charge
 of Such Room

Philadelphia, July 22-UP)-The three-day old son of MT. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., has Host little weight" but is expected to start picking up" soon, Dr. Ralph M. Tyson reported today. Dr. Tyson, physician to Mrs. Roosevelt and the child, said the loss of weight after birth was to be expected. He added that the infant resembles neither parent as yet. Babies so young rare- ly resemble anyone-except babies, r he said. The child has blond hair and blue eyes, and his nurses pre- dicted he would grow tall like his father. third son of the president.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, the former Ethel Du Pont, is nursing the baby, it was learned. The father, a law student at the University of Virginia, is per- mitted to visit the nursery-after first donning hospital uniform but is not allowed to pick up his son.
 The nervous young father was in volved in a minor traffic accident yesterday while driving Mrs. Du Pont and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Walter Wickes, to the hospital. He started to explain to Patrolman Martin Fox but was cut short.

 Here the two versions of what happened became so different that Judge Landreth was forced to order the case to trial August 18 to de- eide which was true. Stanford and Miss Drain charged that she chased them up the aisle, attacked us from the rear" beat them. scratched them, and bit Miss Drain on the arm. Miss Rand told the judge that she might have grabbed Stanford by the suspenders, causing him to tear his shirt, and that she might have smashed his camera, but that she didn't bite Miss Drain. Miss Rand had Dr. Hershey Goldberg on hand to testify that Miss Drain wasn't bitten.
 Miss Rand said she felt she had a right to confiScate Stanford's cam era, because no matter how grace ful bubble dance may be in its entirety, it is bound to include "grotesque" moments. These were the moments, she charged, that Stanford chose to click his shutter.
 Miss Rand said she was not guilty and demanded a jury trial. Stan ford and Miss Drain not only got Deputy City Attorney Don Redwine to file criminal battery charges against Miss Rand, but they de- manded $2,622.70 in civil court. Miss Drain ,aid her doctor bill was $l0, her humiliation bill $500, and her general wear-and tear, 5000. Stan ford asked $10 for his doctor, sought $1,000 for wear-tear on his suspend CTS and himself, and demanded $102.70 for his camera.

 BADLY DAMAGED
Rainfall in Connecticut Is Cause of at Least $l,-
 OO0,0OO Harm to Crop

Hartford, Conn, July 22.-(UP)- Excessive rainfall in the Connecti- cut valley during the past five days has caused at least $l,000,000 dam age to the tobacco crop, ready for harvest, it was estimated today.
