SUSPECTS SOUGHT
IN ARMED H0LDUP
Police Alerted In Il States
AS Baltimore Police
Probe Robbery

BALTIMORE, July 7.-P)-Po-
lice of 81 states we're alerted today
in a search for four men sought
by Baltimore authorities in con-
nection with a Fourth-of-July shot
gun hold-up-said to have netted
from $35, 900 to $50, 000-which had
stymied police until today because
none of it's victims would admit
he had been robbed.
Chief Inspector Joseph M. Wal
lace said descriptions of the men
had been sent out over a teletype
.aookup to the police of 81 nearby
states today, after he announced
that the Baltimore police depart
ment had verified a telephone
company report that wires leading
to a Tenderloin Belt Athletic club,
scene OF the robbery, had been cut
on the afternoon of the Fourth.
Although Wallace did not say he
had found anyone who would ad-
NIT being a victim of the hold-up,
the police alarm said the four men
sought could be identified"
The robbery was first brought to
light Friday in an anonymous tele-
phone tip to States Attorney ].
Bernard Wells. Wells said his in
formant refused to identify him
self, saying he feared for his life.
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor as
sumed personal charge of the in
vestigation this morning, upon
learning of the absence from the
city of Police Commissioner Ham.
ilton R. Atkinson, who was report
ed attending a wedding in New
Jersey.
The Governor ordered Atkinson to
return Immediately and instructed
Wallace to be prepared to lay the
whole matter before a grand jury
tomorrow morning. He pointed out
that victims of the ho1d-up are
"compellable witnesses who may
be penalized if they refuse to testi.
fly before the grand jury.

Hughes, one of the most famous

Hughes was still conscious when
he reached the hospital. There, he

Hughes designed and built in con-
junction with the Air Materiel Com

DR.. C. J. Murray at the Beverly

Hughes apparently had sustained a
skull fracture, that one lung was
collapsed, and that he had "about a
$3.50 chance of pulling through"
Hughes had reported inability to
get his landing gear working in his
contract with the radio tower at
the airport in Burbank. That was a
half-hour, however, before the
crash. His company associates said
he was trying to make a fairway
