By Richord Rodgers

Police departments in Is East
er nSeaboard States still were
on the lookout today for two OF
three gunner who robbed o
bank at Andrews Air Force Base
Of $124.638 yesterday.
One suspect was arraigned yes
terday, after being arrested on Q
speeding charge.
He was booked on q bank rob.
berry charge in Upper Marlboro,
Md, as Clarence Duke McGann,
"a. colored, Of the 200 block Of
West One Hundred and Forty
first street. New York. Bond was
set at $4,000.
FBI agents continued question:
ing him today in Baltimore,
where he was transferred shortly
after midnight.
Up to then, they said. about
all McGann would tell them was
that his occupation was gam
bier"
Five Of eight witnesses identi-
fed him as one of three armed
colored men who filled brief
case with currency, locked the
witnesses in the banks vault and
fed.
Speed Is Downfall.
McGann, described by the FBI
as having a New Jersey police
record, literally drove himself
into arrest.
Sergt. Charles L. Perrygo, q
Prince Georges County (Md.) de-
tective, was going to work when
a car doing more than 70 miles
an hour passed him on the Marl-
boro pike.
He stopped it and ordered the
driver to follow him to the Up
per Marlboro station.
Booking him, the sergeant
heard a police radio broadcast
about the bank job. He ran OUT
doors to collar the two men in
McGann's car, but they were
gone. They are the two hunted
today.
The trio's haul apparently was
the biggest of any bank robbery
In Maryland history.
Bribery Charge Added.
Sergt. Perrygo said McGann
offered him $40 on the way to
the lookup, asking him. Cant
we forget this?" So the officer
also added a bribery count
against Mccain, along with
charges Of speeding and zig
tagging.
Arraigned before United States
Commissioner Samuel w. H.
Meloy in Upper Marlboro last
night, McGann was held under
the big bond, pending q hearing
at 8 pm. Wednesday.
D. K. Brown, agent in charge
of the FBI's Maryland-Dela-
ware division, last night denied
knowledge of a report that two
other suspects were picked up
on the Suitland parkway.
Park police repeatedly COL
Jared the two on the Suitland
parkway. Other police sources
said they were to appear today
in a lineup before the eight per.
sons herded into the bank vault.
Mr.. Brown refused to say
which Of the witnesses identified
McGann.
The bank was the air base
branch Of the First National
Bank Of Southern Maryland.
HoIdup Witnesses.

President Expected
To Seek Sidetrackinq
OF Anti-Red Move
Repeatedly Will Try
To Persuade House
To Defect Measure
By the Assoelatsd Press

THURMONT, Md, Aug. IA. -
President Eisenhower was pic
tured today as convinced a Sen
ate-approved bill to outlaw the
Communist Party would make
propaganda martyrs" Of Reds
in this country. He repeatedly
win try to persuade the House
to kill the measure.
An administration official IA
miliar with the views Of the
President, who is spending the
week end at his Catoctin Noun
tain lodge here, also told news
men Gen. Eisenhower Is in COM
plete agreement with Attorney
General Brownell and FBI Chief
J. Edgar Hoover on the matter.
Both men have opposed OUT
having the Communists on the
grounds it would drive them un-
derground and make it much
more difficult to keep track of
them.
Meets Leaders Monday.
The administration source
here, who asked not to be named,
said the President or his aides
probably will talk privately with
House leaders in an effort to get
the bill shelved.
Gen. Eisenhower will have an
opportunity to do so Monday
morning in Washington at his
regular weekly meeting with Re-
publican legislative leaders.
In Washington two top Re-
publican Senators told newsmen
they think a satisfactory version
Of the measure can be worked
out.
Majority Leader Knowland
said in an interview that "in my
Judgment there will be some kind
of anti-C Communist legislation"
He said that; some technical
changes may be needed in the
bill so that it will not adversely
affect" two other anti-C ommu-
mist measures, the Smith Act
and the Internal Security Act.
The Smith Act. under which
many top-flight Communists
have been convicted. makes it a
crime to teach and advocate the
forcible overthrow of the Gov
eminent. The Internal Security
Act requires registration Of
Communications organizations.
Senator Ferguson of Michigan.
chairman of the Senate Repub-
lican Policy Committee, said that
in his opinion the House viii be
able to fix the measure so that
it will be satisfactory to the
President and to the Senate"
Senator Ferguson said the
Senate bill could be amended to
take away all the rights of the
Communist Party but ito take
out the part that makes it q
crime to be member of the
party"
Bill Passed Thursday.
The bill to outlaw the Commu-
mist Party was passed by the Sen
ate Thursday night by a vote of
IS to 0. Senator Humphrey,
Democrat, Of Minnesota, led the
successful surprise move which
combined the outlawing provision
with another anti-C Communist
weapon the administration does
want.
That other section of the bill,
authored by Senator Butler, Re-
publican. of Maryland, Is aimed
at wiping out Communications
trolIed labor unions. It provides
that labor or business orgahiza-
tons determined by the Subver-
sives Activities Control Board to
be Communist dominated would
lose their rights under the Taft
Hartley labor law.
Senator Humphreys proposal
would provide maximum penal
ties of i've years In prison and q
$4,000 fine for persons who will
fully join or remain members OF
the Communist Party and COM
NIT any act to carry out party
purposes

France Sends
edo Reyisiions
To5Nations
Premier Pushes His
Project After Three
Leave Cabinet
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. IA. - Premier
Pierre Mepdes France today
sent to the other five nations Of
the European Defense Com
munity treaty project a long list
of changes he wants approved
before France gives her ratifica-
ton.
The message to Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy
and West Germany went by orr
binary diplomatic channels. Mr..
Mendes-France wished to give
the other nations plenty of time
to study the documents before
the August 10 meeting of the
six foreign ministers in Brus-
sells.
The premier was moving ahead
with his project despite the res
ignation of three of his ministers
last night in protest against the
decision to bring up the EDO
treaty for ratification. The de-
bate is scheduled to start in the
National Assembly August %.
Party Backs designations.
The Social Republican Party,
to which the three resigning
ministers belong, gave it's bless
ing to their action. The Social
Republicans, who are followers
of Gen. Charles De Gaulle, said
Mr.. Mendes-France's proposed
notifications fail to go far
enough. They complained that
the principle of supernatural
ity had not been altered and
that there had been nothing to
remove the old objection against
trying to unity Europe with only
six nations.
The men who stepped out of
the cabinet were Defense Min
lister Gen. Pierre Koenig, Public
Works Minister Jacques Chaban-
DelmaS and Reconstruction Min
lister Maurice Lemaire.
Won't Replace Ministers.
The De Gaullists helped Mr..
Mendes-F France win the pre-
miership last June. Large Sec
tions of the Social Republican
bloc behind Gen. De Gaulle
voted for his confirmation in the
Assembly.
Mr.. Mendes- France said the
three would not be replaced at
present. He called on three
other cabinet members to dou-
BILE up and take over the vacant
ministries until the EDO debate
winds up in the Assembly.
Three De Gaullists remained
in the cabinet. They are Chris
ton Fouchet, Minister for North
African Affairs; Diomede Ca
troux. Secretary of State for Air.
and Henri Ulver, Secretary of
State for the Budget.
Rocky Road Ahead.
A rocky road lies ahead for
the dynamic premier in his cam
paign to align France with some
sort of defense plan.
The first obstacle will be at
Brussels where the foreign min
listers of the six nations are
slated to meet Thursday. Mr..
Mendes-France will have to per-
suade the other five that they
should accept EDO notifications
as a price for getting French
parliamentary approval.
What he has to offer the for
eign ministers is not likely to
cause any rejoicing. Full details
have not yet been made public,
but 1t is known Mendes- Frances
proposals would water down the
supernatural character of the
scheme.
If he wins out in Brussels the
premier then will have to line UP
enough votes for ratification by
the Assembly. This is no GER
tainty and he will have to use
this great personal popularity
and prestige to the full if he is
to succeed.

Final Stages Near
For Social Security
And Public Debt Bills
Senate, Seeking TO Quit
Next Week, Takes Up
Foreign Aid Measure

A more liberal old-age retire.
ment bill and a So billion tenn
porary increase in the public
debt limit are in the final stages
Of enactment today, after breez-
ing through the Senate late yes
terday.
With leaders still pushing for
adjournment of Congress next
week, the Senate went back to
work at 10 O'Clock this morning
to tackle the $40 billion foreign
aid appropriation bill. They
didn't call it a day yesterday
until after II pm.
The old-age bill brings nearly
7 million more individuals into
the system, increases the month
ly checks of 6.5 million already
retired, and allows retired per-
sons to earn more on the side
without losing their pensions.
Boosts Payroll Taxes.
Starting in January, the bill
will raise social security payroll
taxes by $12 year for some
wage earners and $18 year for
the self-employed. The present
2 per cent tax rate does not go
up, but the tax will be collected
on 81 200 a year instead Of the
first $4,000.
The House is expected to
agree without a conference to
the bill raising the public debt
limit from $275 billion to 1921
billion until June 80.
While a conference will be
needed to iron out details of the
old age bill, there are no serious
differences, and leaders expect
this bill will be on its way to
the President early next week.
If it passes the Foreign Aid
money bill today. the Senate
will have left: An expansion
of unemployment compensation
benefits; a 81 billion omnibus
river and harbor bill; two more
anti Communist bills: a revision
of the defense-contract renego-
tiation law, and Government
employe pay increases.
Many Issues Pending.
Both houses also will have a
stack of conference reports to
approve on these and other bills.
but If the present adjournment
fever continues, the must" pro-
gram should be cleaned up next
week.
Highlights of the old-age bene-
fit bill follow:
New coverage - The Senate
made eligible &c million farm
workers, about ESQ, 900 additional
domestic servants and gave the
option of joining the system to
3.5 million State and city en-
ployes and 100000 clergymen.
The Senate added funeral direc-
tors, but excluded several large
groups who were in the House
bill. These were $50 million farm
operators, 400, 900 members Of
the professions and 10000 Fed
eral workers.
Payments-The average i'm
crease for retired workers would
be- Sc q month. The new range
for those already retired would
be from $50 to $3.50, as COM
pared to the present range OF

JERUSALEM (JTA)-The
rejection by the Israel-Jordan

yesterday of a Jordan COM

political circles as a Signifi-

violated the armistice agree
