Three Bandits Rob
Hackers After Lurinu
Them 10 Maryland

Three armed bandits early to-
day held up and robbed two Dis
trict cab drivers by Turing them
to nearby Maryland, Prince
Georges County police reported.
Within two hours, the VIC
Tins said they picked up fares in
southeast Washington and were
directed to a rendezvous in
Maryland where a light-haired
man with a high-pitched voice
robbed them.
Roy Brown, As, colored, of 4109
Hayes street NE, told police he
was hailed by a colored man
around $40 am. in the $500
block of Nichols avenue Sc.
Directed first to the Fort Foote
area, he was ordered at the point
of revolver to turn into a field
off the $500 block of Oxon Hill
road.
Two Waiting in Car.
There, the driver told police,
two men were waiting in a car.
He said the armed man with
the high voice came forward and
took $3.50 from him, his wrist
watch, a knife and pencils.
The men told him to head for
Washington and not to look
back.
Mr.. Brown went back, straight
to the 18th precinct station in
Southeast Washington.
According to Prince Georges
Police Pvt. Wade Beall, the sec
ond holdup occurred around 4:45
am. He said the victim was
John E. Saddler, colored, At,
of 220 Allison street NV.
Cash and Watch Taken.
Saddler, police said, was rob-
bed of $27 in cash and a wrist
watch valued at $50, by three
men who 1ured the driver to
their meeting place in the same
manner.
Pvt. Beall said he had taken
a report from the first driver
and was heading for the holdup
scene when he encountered the
second driver heading back into
town.

Are 3-Day Guests
OF Pakistan Embassy

Four Cortland IN. " students
visiting the Pakistan Embassy
will leave for home Monday,
crammed with memories and
with silver-plated stomachs.
The guests of PakiStan'S AM
bassador to the United States,
Syed Amjad Ali, the two high
school and two college students
won the trip for their essays on
American-PakiStan relations. The
contest followed a visit by the
Ambassador to their town Oc-

The students will be whirled

ernment buildings and historic
places in nearby Maryland and
Virginia. They appeared on a
televiSion news show last night.
Tonight, they will see the play,
"The Prescott Proposals" at the
National Theater.
Quite by chance, Ambassador
Ali explained, one of the chief
roles in the play is that of a
romantic diplomat from Paki-
stan.
AS for their newly galvanized
