Two bandits staged an esti-

He would not speculate on a
course of action he might take

Presumably, he could bring legal
action for his back pay and
pension contributions. Or he
could forfeit the money.

Mr.. Bartz said when the man
began looting the safe, he asked
them not to take any of the

pair, since it would get them in
trouble with their customers
The man complied with the re-
quest.
The bandits also left behind a
silver urn filled with coin con-
tributions for the Salvation
Army.
When the looting was finished,
the other bandit came back into

were held prisoner and asked:

B7-24O Vote Backs
French Premier on
Defense Data Leaks
Resolution Expresses
Confidence on Action
To Punish Guilty
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 4.-Premier Pierre
Mendes-F rance's government
won a 287-240 vote of approval
in the National Assembly last
night following a heated debate
over it's investigation into leaks
of defense secrets.
The resolution backed the
Premier's overall policies and
expressed confidence he would
take the necessary measures in
order that all guilty parties will
be sought out and brought to
justice"
The scandal over Communist
access to secrets of the National
Defense Council has centered
around a former police inspector
fired last week. The officer, Jean
Dides, earlier had been relieved
of an ti-Communist assign
ment after unauthorized secret
data was found on his person.
So far three top civil servants
in the Defense Department have
been charged with endangering
Frances security by negligence or
letting out information. A spe-
cial investigator is still taking
testimony.
Deputy Jean Legendre, a right
wing opponent of Mr.. Mendes-
France, charged in the debate
that the Premier and some of
his officials had tried to hide the
scandal. The Premier denied the
charges and stoutly defended In
terror Minister Francois Mitter-
and, whom Mr.. Legendre specif-
ically charged with delaying in
vestigations and playing the
game of communism"
Mr.. Mendes-France pleaded for
an end to such sattacks on his
regime, explaining that they were
weakening his program.

Judge Jones said that while
Mr.. Jacobs got many cash gifts
from his parents in his early
years. it seemed strange that no
income had resulted from a large
share of those gifts.
