Seattle Thugs Hunted
After Shooting Three
Policemen. Killing |
BY the Assoeiosed Press

SEATTLE. Mar. 13.-Three
bank robbers who shot three
policemen, killing one and
wounding two. were the objects
of a practically clueless search
throughout the Pacific North
west today.
The policemen never got to
fire shot yesterday morning as
they were cut down by the three
men who had just robbed the
Greenwood Bank of $97.7O0-
$1,000 Of which they dropped
in their getaway.
Thought 1t Was q Joke.
The bandits, wearing horn
trimmed spectacles and false
noses which some bystanders
first thought were joke. en-
tered the bank at 10:40 am.
One stood guard at the front
entrance: another prodded a gun
in the back of Kenneth McEl-
haney. bank manager. and told
him to head for the vaults, and
the third walked to the tellers'
cage where he scooped the
money into a shopping bag.
An employe pressed a con-
cealed alarm bar with his foot
and three policemen in one-man
patrol cars responded-their ST.
fsn' fea nsns screaming as they neared
George. somebody's sounded
the alarm" one bandit shouted
as he ran toward the front lobby.
Police Supt. Howard SleSSman,
IS, shotgun at his side, was run
ming through the outer door. The
bandit fired and Supt. Slessman
fell, a bullet wound in his neck.
One Shot Kills Policeman.
AS Supt. Slessman fell, Patrol
man Frank w. Hardy, 80, ar
rived and jumped from his car,
running toward the parking lot
on the east side Of the bank. A
second bandit fired through a
window. hitting Patrolm a n
Hardy in the head. He dropped
to the sidewalk, fatally wounded.
Then. the third policeman,
Vernon r. Chase, "a. arrived just
as two Of the gunmen broke
through a side door. One fired
quickly and Patrolman Chase fell
a few feet from Patrolman Hardy
a bullet wound in the chest.
Two of the bandits jumped
into their getaway car as the
third kicked out a plate glass
window and jumped through.
He dropped a sack containing
$90,800 as he fed the building
and ran up the street.
The men in the car picked up
their comrade and sped away,
easily outdistancing a fourth
patrol car which drove UP Just
after the shooting was over.
The getaway automobile was

House Leaders Plan
Farley 10 Work Out
New Police Force

Republican and Democratic
leaders of the House plan an
other session next week to dis
cuss further plans for profess
sional Capitol police force.
House Speaker Martin said an
informal conference of leaders of
both parties yesterday reached
general agreement that a profess
Sional force to protect Congress,
well trained by Metropolitan Po-
lice. would be better than the
present system. Capitol Police
now are appointed by members
of House and Senate.
The security program is under
careful study in Congress, follow
ing the blast of gunfire on March
from the House galleries. which
wounded five House members on
the floor.
The second meeting of House
leaders probably will take place
on Tuesday. Speaker Martin said,
to discuss all kinds Of security
provisions under consideration.
Open to Senators.
Senators who have been look
ing into the problem of better
security for Congress probably
will be invited to participate. he
said. Attending will be Metro
politan Police Chief Robert v.
Murray and Capitol Police Capt.
William j. Broderick.
A career force for Capitol Hill
was strongly recommended to
both House and Senate recently
by a special committee, includ-
ing Chief Murray, Capt. Broder-
lex and Capt. Carl Schamp.
Metropolitan Police officer as
signed to the House.
One proposal submitted by
this committee, for bullet-proof
glass in galleries, Speaker Mar
tin said, had not met with the
approval of House leaders. But
the conference agreed generally
with the special police commit
tee report against use Of an elec-
tric-eye device to detect danger
Gus weapons on visitors to the
galleries. 1t had been discarded
as impracticable, the police de-
cided.
Agreement between the House
and Senate on final details for
any change in the Capitol Police
system will be necessary before
any new force could be set up,
lawmakers on both sides of the
Capitol agree. Some legislation
will be needed.
Slight Differences.
So far there has been a slight
difference in the attitude of the
House leaders and Senate Re-
publicans as to the kind of a new
police force needed. Both sides,
however, seem to favor a change.
Speaker Martin said leaders
on both sides of the House
favor a career force, but they
do not want to fire the present
personnel. Instead they would
like to wait for vacancies, which
occur frequently, before nam
ing new policemen. House mem
berS do not want their own force
placed under command of the
Metropolitan Police chief. he
said.
The Senate Rules Committee,
In an informal session recently,
leaned towards the idea of having
Metropolitan Police officers as
signed to the Capitol on a re-
tmburSable basis. to be paid by
legislative funds.
At the House conference with
Speaker Martin were Democratic
Leader Rayburn; Democratic
Whip Mccormack; Republican
Leader Halleck and Republican
Whip.

When the weather finally
broke Saturday it turned the
week end into a thing Of charm
and conviyiality. Even Gen.
and Mrs. George C. Marshall
came to Gen. and Mrs. Mat
thew Ridgeway's garden party
in Fort Myer where the gentle
men guests who are helping to
run this Nation could look
down on the three most ia
nous landmarks Of this city
that has so influenced their
lives, just back last week from
their house In Southern Pines,
the Marshalls are now en-
sconced In their Leesburg
home. Both looked well, the
General having finally recov-
cred from the illness that at
tackled him when he went to
Sweden to claim the Nobel
Prize.
Mrs. Bob Stevens, wife of
the Secretary of the Army,
was making her first appear
ance at a large party in a
couple Of months. Every few
minutes someone came up to
express admiration for her
husbands endurance and con-
duct during the IA days Of
gruelling questioning before
the Senate Investigation Com
mittee. Mrs. Stevens said
people had been extremely
kind. At least 5000 letters of
encouragement had been sent
to him at his Office, she said,
and another 1000 at their
home.
Secretary Stevens was not
at the party because he had
gone to North Carolina to at
tend the funeral of Senator
Clyde Hoey, the man who
headed the same investiga-
ton committee before Senator
Mccarthy became its chair
man and all the trouble
began.
Helle Bonnet was telling a
friend why she was at the
party alone. She came back
from Paris recently to find
that the Ambassador had had
successive attacks of bronchitis
simply because he wouldn't
take the time to rest up from
the first attack. II put my
foot down." she said. She in
sists that he stay home until
he recuperates. IF he goes to
the State Department for q
conference and he's not back
in an hour she tracks him
down at his Office and says,
"Come home this minute!" Il
will, I WILL" replies the Ambas-
sador and he's back quick as
a fash. Why? t'Well you have
never seen me really angry"
says Helle.
Mrs. Beetle" Smith listened
to this method intently. Her
husband is not robust, has long
been in need of a rest and has
been trying without success to
retire from the undersecretary-
ship of the State Department.
