 The scene of the holdup was the West Seattle National Bank.
 When the lone bandit first enter ed the bank, he approached the window of teller Jack Frost. The employee was busy counting pennies and thinking the man was cus- toner, told him to come back later.
 Some 10 minutes later he did clicked the safety of German Luger pistol and told Frost: t You know. what want"
 After Frost handed over the money in his cage, the gunman turned to Teller Paul B. Allen in the next cage, asking for more. Allen said he had very little money there and closed the drawer.

W0LANDING50N ICE CAP REPORTED
 BY AIR COMMAND

ANCHORAGE, March 29-Rt-A Tenth Rescue Squadron CAT air. plane has made two successful landings on the North Polar ice pack, the Alaska Air Command an nounced last night.
 The landings, made March 2l and g but unreported until now, were made 100 miles north of Barter Is- land, desolate stretch of land off the northern coast of Alaska. The island serves as the base of train- ing operations now being conducted by the Air Command.
 The C-47 was piloted by It. Col Eugene O. Strause of Topeka, Kans
 Col. Bernt Balchen, Command ing Officer of the rescue squadron, termed the landings "one of the most important events in polar ayia- tion."
 Colonel Strause's landings showed that if necessary both large bombers and transports could crash land with comparative safety on the polar ice pack" Balchen said.
 The landings were designed tc test the different types of surfaces available in the Far Northern re- zion.
 On both days, the CAT was pre- ceded onto the ice by a glider piloted by It. James s. Keel of Chicago. It later was snatched up by C-54 and lowed back to Barter Island
 The crew of the CAT remained on the ice approximately 35 min utes the first day and about 90 minutes the next. Neither day, how ever, were the crew members able to take soundings of the wate. depth because of the 10-12 foot thickness of ice.

EISENHOWER GIVES PLANS
 US. DEFENSE
Talks Right Out 10 Senate Committee Now Consid-
 ering More Funds

WASHINGTON, March 29-tR- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said to- day he believed we could do great deal more" for the nations defense by readjusting items within the present military budget rather than increasing the total spending.
 Appearing before Senate Ap- propriations subcommittee consid- ering defense funds for the fiscal year starting July l, Eisenhower stressed the need for strong Ali, Force, anti-submarine weapons. Alaskan@air defense, and industrial mobilization.
 He said that after the war de- fense officials hit upon 70 air groups in the regular army and 27 in the National Guard He added, however, that these figures were not sacro- sanct because the number of planes and men in each group was the important thing.
 He said he considered safe minimum" the maintenance of 48 regular and II or 12 National Guard air groups, but that he had been told that new money to be pro- vided would not maintain such a number.
 If these are not maintained, he asserted, i've will begin to dip ove- the line between economy and se- curity."
 The former Army Chief of Staff was called before the committee after he had said in a speech last week that this country had dis armed in some ways beyond the point which he. with deep concern for her present safety. could pos sibly advise"
 In advance of the hearing, he disclaimed any knowledge of diff : ferepces with President Truman and the Defense Secretary Johnson over military spending plans.
 Eisenhower, now President of Co., 1umbia University, was asked later by a reporter if there were any differences between him and ad- miniStration officials about the size of the defense fund.
 If there are any differences, don't know about them," the Gen. eral replied quickly. That's what I'm down here for, any questions that Senators may have"

 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska characterised the Air Force de- cision to abandon it's westernmost base as a psychological as well as a military mistake.
 Magnuson told reporter he is Investigating several possible ways )f keeping the base in operation. He said it is too valuable from military standpoint, for handling mail for the Far East, and as a stopever for commercial flights, to se abandoned.
 He said he plans to discuss the matter with the state and post office departments, with Civil Aero nautics Administration and with commercial airlines to see if CO., operative plan can be worked out.
 If necessary, Magnuson said, he will take the problem to the White House.
 Bartlett already has protested to the Defense Department, calling t mistake" to withdraw from the  Aleutians and Nome.
 These hases," he said, would nave to be reactivated immediately n case of war to make them avail- able for anti-submarine patrol and for other purposes and the cost would be tremendously greater than regular maintenance.

 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON The natural gas industry's smoothest salesman will learn today whether ne has made his biggest sale.
 He is amiable, persuasive Sen. Bob Kerr, Oklahoma Democrat, who has been trying to sell the Senate on exempting natural gas producers from federal regulation. For three weeks he has been shuf- fling from Senator to Senator, har- anguing, cajoling, pumping them full of sales talk. This afternoon they will give their answer in a roll-call vote.
 Already a millionaire oilman, Kerr has a financial stake in his own salesmanship. During most of his one year in the Senate, Kerr's voting record has been for the public interest, But in the gas bill, his gain would be the public's loss, for the consumers must ey- entually pay any resulting increase in the cost of gas. Certainly the reason the natural gas companies want to escape federal regulation isn't to reduce prices.
 Whatever the outcome, the Sen- ator from Oklahoma has set a record in Senatorial salesmanship. Ho pssrcnd hiS hill pverv StpD Of the way Fighting for it comma by comma in the Senate and even turning his honey charm on Pre- sident Truman to get White House endorsement.
