5 Start Prison Terms
For $4,000 HoIdup
OF Maryland Bank
SpeeioI Dispatch 70 The Stor

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
Mar. 9.-Five men who robbed an
Owings (Md.) bank of almost $27,-
900 on March are serving prison
terms today for the crime.
The five were sentenced yester-
day-exactly a week after the rob-
bery-by Judge John B. Gray, jr..
in Calvert County Circuit Court.
They faced Judge Gray after
they had been indicted by grand
jury yesterday morning, waived
a right to counsel and to con-
tinuance in the trial, then pleaded
guilty. A 20-year sentence was
possible in each of five charges
of armed robbery.
No "Undue Violence"
But Judge Gray, chief jurist of
Maryland's 7th judicial circuit
said he was taking into considera-
tion the fact that no undue vio-
liepce" was used in the holdup
and that the men "co-operated
well with police" after their ar
rest. Then he imposed 18-year
terms on two of the men and
15-year sentences on the others.
Jack Beeson, 80, and Alton
James East, 80, received the longer
terms, while the shorter ones went
to Chester Collett, "a; Manley
Blevins. Al, and Robert Barlow,
IS. Both Beeson and East had
previous convictions, the judge
noted.
Judge Gray said he was giving
Substantial" terms as a warning
to others that it is improbable
ito come down here and rob
banks"
Commends Policemen.
Judge Gray also commended
Prince Georges County and State
policemen "for the most alert po-
licing to come to my attention in
some time"
The five bandits were captured
less than an hour after the rob-
berry at road block erected by
Prince Georges County police
near Upper Marlboro on route
301. All Of the loot-$26, ,746-
was recovered.
The men, who had been held
In the Prince Georges Jail in

FUTURE MOVES-The Budget
Bureau has announced that an
additional $4,000 Federal employees
here will be moved if conditions
permit it, within the next year
However, there is a serious lack
lof available Office space through
out the country and this further
decentralization move is up in the
air at the moment.
Present indications are that the
scope OF the decentralization pro-
gram as originally announced
(25.000 to 10000 employees were
to be involved) will be consider
ably smaller than at first planned
Key Government officials in the
decentralization program private
ly say that a total of 10000 jobs
will probably be the maximum
number involved in decentraliza-
tion-if that much.

PAY-The Senate Civil Service
subcommittee headed by Senator
Pastore, Democrat, of Rhode
Island has completed hearing tes-
timony from employe groups on
the bill to give Federal employees
a II per cent pay raise. Ses-
sions will be resumed in about two
weeks to hear administration of
ficials' views on the bill.
AS reported here yesterday, Sem
ator Pastore strongly limited that
Congress would never go for the
II per cent figure and that any
pay boost enacted would have to
be for an amount considerably
less.
However. at the end of yester-
days hearing, Senator Pastore re-
marked that as far as he was
concerned, he was convinced that
Government employees deserved
some sort of cost-of- Living pay
increase. Senator Pastore also
clarified his views regarding an
nual leave.
At some points during the pay
hearing, the Rhode Islander
sharply questioned employe group
officials on the 26-day annual
leave benefits given Federal work.
ers. However, Senator Pastore
told this reporter that he has
no intention of trying to couple
any Federal pay raise legislation
with a move to reduce annual
leave benefits.
"The question of cost-of living
pay raise has nothing to do with
whether Federal employees are
getting too much leave" Senator
Pastore said.
Among the employe group lead
ers urging Federal pay increases
at yesterdays hearings were
Thomas Walters of the AFL Gov
ernment Employees Council; Stan
ley Oliver of the AFL Interna-
tional Federation of Technical
Engineers, Architects and Drafts
men; Thomas Maddox of the
National Association of Federal
Mechanics, and George Riley of
