FbI Links Car
In Baltimore 10
Bank Holdup
Stolen Auto Found
With Evidence: Two
Bundits Still Sought

An FBI spokesman last night
said an automobile believed to
be the one used In the $l24, 638
bank robbery at Andrews Air
Force Base had been found
abandoned in Baltimore.
Still at large are two bandits
who pulled the sensational
holdup Friday. Police are hold
ing a third man who has been
charged in the holdup.
D. K. Brown, agent in charge
Of the FBI's Maryland Delaware
division, said the Baltimore po-
lice located the car in the north
east section of the city. He said
the car had been stolen in New
York August 10.
Banks Name Found.
Mr.. Brown said a cardboard
box marked with the name of
the robbed bank was found in
the car. He added it was similar
to one taken by the bandits dur
ing the stickup.
The one man under arrest is
Clarence Duke McGann, "a, coll
ored. of New York. Minutes after
the robbery Friday, McGann and
two other men with him were
stopped by a Prince Georges
County policeman for speeding.
Unaware Of Robbery.
The policemen, Det. Sergt.
Charles r. Perrygo. was on his
way to work and had not heard
of the robbery. He took McGann
into the station to book him, and
the other two, left behind in the
car, drove away.
McGann was charged with the
robbery after five of the eight
people in the bank identified him
as one Of the stick-up men, ac-
cording to Donald K. Brown.
special agent in charge of the
FBI investigation. He Is being
held under $4,000 bond for q
hearing at 8 pm. Wednesday.
Mr.. Brown said McGann had
only minor arrest record. He
declined to elaborate when asked
If McGann's background had
given any new leads.
Invaded After Opening.
The bank, q branch of the
First National Bank of Southern
Maryland, was hit by the three
stick-up men just after opening
for business at 9 am. Friday.
The bandits, all colored, entered
carrying pistols. They forced the
manager to fill a briefcase with
currency. then herded him and
three employees and four Gus
toners into a vault and locked it.
They got out in two or three
minutes because the vault has an
inside emergency, switch.
The take was high because the
bank had just received an $780,
600 money shipment from the
post Office.
The Andrews bank. robbery
was the third on a military res
ervation in this area in IS
months. The other two occurred
at the Citizens National Bank Of
Laurel branch at Fort Meade,
Md. A lone, robber got $40, 900
there last March. Three days
before last Christmas, another
man robbed the same bank for
$4,000. Neither of the Fort
Meade robberies has been solved.

Second Look, Won't
Bar Women,s Shorts
BY the Associated Press

SHARPSBURG, Md, Aug. IA.
After receiving conflicting adj
vice from various parts of the
United States, the Sharpsburg
Town Council has decided to
give up the idea Of banning
women's shorts in public.
Mayor Elmer Koontz said the
council received scores of letters
from many States after word of
the proposal got out.
Judging by the letters, he said,
people are about evenly divided
on the issue.
After looking over the letters
and discussing the subject, the
council decided that no action
at all was the best course, Mayor
Koontz explained.

Jobs Surveyed
In Step 10 Help.
{. Economy
Government Provides
$500 Of Employment,
Trude Board Shows

Washington's business COM
munity has armed itself with an
employment survey to help In
its program Of broadening the
areas economic base.
The survey, shows that efforts
to attract light manufacturing,
wholesale distribution and allied
industries is necessary to Offset
the areas dependence on Fed
eral jobs to provide payrolls.
The Washington Board Of
Trades Economic Development
Department prepared the survey.
The Trade Board experts found
that, Gin spite of Federal reduc-
tions," the Government payrolls
accounted for more than SO per
cent Of the Washington areas
basic employment.
Compared to Normal"
The job structure in this area
for 1853 was studied and COM
pared to a normal employment
chart worked out for the entire
country on a population basis.
The total employment figure
in the United States was taken as
the bench mark" against which
averages for each branch of in
dustry were measured. Since
Washington had 1858 per cent
Of the total population as esti-
mated last year, the calculated
normal employment for each
type of economic activity is equal
to 1868 per cent of the total
United States employment" the
study group decided.
When the actual employment
in the area is compared with the
theoretical normal, the job
structure is shown quite clearly.
Weaknesses Exposed.
For instance:
The normal" for Federal en-
ployment was set at 29,100 for
an average United States city
while the actual Washington
area Federal employment was
241. 400.
Plus and minus figures drawn
from the normal employment
chart by comparing each of the
industrial divisions in this man
ner showed where this area
economic weaknesses lay.
The biggest employment def
cts thus shown for the area were
in the mining and quarrying,
manufacturing and wholesale
trade fields.
The survey declared the area
should try to attract light in
dustry and wholesale distribu-
ton activities.
Seek Trade Associations.
Manufacturing could be
brought here without turning
the community into sooty fac
tory town. the survey declared.
The survey recommended also
that business interests seek to
encourage membership organi-
cations such as trade associa-
tions to locate their headquar-
tiers in this city.
Besides Federal employment,
this area ranked ahead Of the
average city in payrolls for f.
nance, insurance, real estate,
membership organizations, ho-
tells. restaurants. printing, and
a variety of. retail trade fields.
Payrolls for State sand local
government activities, for food
and liquor stores. public utili-
ties services. railroads and food
and beverage industries were
found to be below the level set

A special Office will be opened

Alert for Sharks.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray has issued special orders to
his men to extend every cour-
tesy to our visitors" and help
make this "the finest conven-
ton in the history of the
American Legion"
The "courtesies" will be
strictly limited to bona flde
visitors.
Deputy Chief Edgar E. Scott,
Chief of Detectives, has other
plans for unwelcome visitors,
professional pickpockets, con
men and swindlers who try to
come in on the heels of the
Legionnaires, will be greeted by
undercover men as they step off
the train, bus or plane, in many
cases.
Chief Scott will post exper-
fenced detectives in all trans
portation terminals, hotels, and
other spots where crowds will
gather.
Some Of the plainclothesmen
have been visiting other big cities
to acquaint themselves with the
pictures and biographies of
prominent crowd-sharks who
may try to come here. The
Legion has advised the depart
ment that many of its delegates
will be police experts from other
parts of the country, familiar
with the faces and methods OF
underworld operators. In all,
the Legion delegations will in
clude several Thousand police
men.
Rough On PickpOcketS.
Chief Scott thinks his system
is a good one. During the last
inaugural. crime was kept down
so effectively that I'VE had prac-
tically none at ALL" he says.
He will be watching for old
favorites like the penny-match-
ing game. in which the sucker is
encouraged by his winnings to
bet more and more until, in one
play, he is wiped out, the ancient
shell game. three-card monte
the pocketbook drop" and Other
confidence games as we'll as the
lightfingered folk who go fer
women's purses, mems pockets
and anyone's baggage.
The headquarters detective
force will be augmented by plain
clothesmen brought downtown
from residential districts. Private
hotel and terminal detectives
will also cooperate.
A healthy deterrent against
the greater menace, pickpockets.
is the Districts criminal code.
Unlike most other cities, local
statute defines picking pockets
as felony, which can be pun
ished with the same penalty az
bank robbery.
Cases Of pickpockets getting
5 to Is years here are well
known in other cities, you can
be sure" says Chief Scott.
Retail merchants and others
asked to advertise in Legion pro-
grams can check the authenticity
of statesmen by a call to con-
vention headquarters at 1920
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
Policing a convention crowd Is
a big job, but the department
is taking 1t in stride. Chief Scott
smiles when you suggest he
might be worried.
