LONDON, May 20.-"Hey,"
said a young man sticking his
head around the Office door.
who are we supposed to be
voting for tonight?"
"The Liberals, old man. Just
going on now. Are you going
to watch?"
Heavens. mol" the young man
replied, withdrawing hastily,
Just checking up"
The monitor television set at
BIC headquarters glowed eerily
in the darkened Office. A smooth
voiced announcer was introduce
ing the cast of characters, start
ing with Lord Samuel, president
of the Liberal Party. A spry 80,
Lord Samuel is an old colleague
of Sir Winston Churchill. CMy
very, very old colleague" says
Sir Winston slyly. Even older
than ann Others were Frank
Byers and John Arlott, both
prominent young Liberal Party
members and veteran. TV COM
mentators.
AS a panel, they were being
interviewed by a Mr.. and Mrs.
Godfrey Hastings, introduced as
a businessman and a housewife
"a fniddle-aged, solid-looking
suburban couple.
Unrehearsed Telecast
Little time was wasted on pre-
liminaries. This unrehearsed Is
minute telecast was very impor-
tant to the Liberal Party. In
fact, according to the unbeliev-
ably sensible rules which gov
ern British elections, it was the
only one the Liberals would have
during election campaign.
Under the circumstances, one
might expect that the Liberals
would haul out their biggest ora
torical gun and let fly during
their quarter hour. With an au-
dience of more than nine mil
lion, TV is coming into its own
here as a political weapon. 1t

4 Bandits Rob
Alabama Bank,
Get $4,000
Quartet Kidnops
Official From Home,
Ties Up Employees

JACKSONVILLE, Ala, May
20 (Pl.-Four armed men robbed
the First National Bank of
Jacksonville of between $85. 900
and 100000 today, after kidnap-
ing a bank official from his
home.
The bandits surprised Jesse
N. Wood, assistant vice president
and cashier, at his house and
forced him to accompany two
men to the bank while the other
guarded his wife and two chill
dren.
At the bank they waited in
side, meeting employees as they
arrived, tying them up and put
ting them in a back room.
Used Bank Car
When time lock opened the
bank vault they scooped up be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and
carried it off in a reposSessed
bank car. Dan w. Gray. bank
vice president, made the esti-
mate of the amount stolen. He
said the loss was covered by in
surance.
One of the two men who went
to the bank was armed with a
sawed off shotgun and the other
with a pistol.
After raiding the bank vault
the robbers forced Mr.. Wood to
help them carry the money to
the bank car. They drove him
to his house, picked up their
confederates, and fled.
The Highway Patrol set up road
blocks around Jacksonville, a
town of 5000 about 10 miles east
of Birmingham, and Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation agents
joined local officers, in the man
hunt.
Brought Own Rope
The robbers put the money in
a cheap black suitcase in which
they had brought the rope with
which they bound the bank en-
ployes, and in Mr.. Woods brief
case.
No one was injured in the
holdup.
AS each employee entered, Mr..
Wood explained that the bank
was being robbed and that the
men had promised not to injure
any one "if they didn't get out
of line"
Among the employees who were
bound by the holdup men were
Mrs. Margaret Deason, a teller;
Miss Denola Aderholt, Mrs.
Betty Hicks, Mrs. Catherine
Angel, and Mrs. Margaret Blair.
They were all held under
guard in a back room that is
used as lounge and kitchen.

Senate
Await Battle
On Pay Veto
Democrats See
Fighting Chance to
Win Majority
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

A bitter fight was shaping up
In the Senate today over next
weeks move to override the
presidential postal pay veto, with
the odds at the moment favoring
the Republicans to uphold the
veto.
The acknowledgement certain
to obtain a plain majority of
the votes cast next Tuesday. but
they will face an uphill fight
to get the necessary two-thirds
majority to override.
Senate Republican leaders
predict President Eisenhower
veto will be sustained next Tues
day, thereby killing the bill. If
the Senate upholds the Presi-
dent, the House would not get
a chance to vote to override.
Senate Democrats acknowledge
they have their job cut out for
them, but they feel they have a
fighting" chance of picking up
enough Republican votes be-
tween now and Tuesday to get
the necessary two-thirds ma
jority.
Virginians Opposed
All but two Of the 40 Demo-
Gratis are expected to vote to-
override. The two who are ex-
pected to vote to sustain the
President are Senators Byrd and
Robertson Of Virginia.
Consequently. the Democrats
need to pick up at least IS Re-
publican votes to get the two
thirds majority needed to over
ride. On the "test" postal pay
vote in the Senate several
months ago, eight Republicans
joined the Democrats in reject
ing the administrations 7.6 per
cent amendment and voting for
a higher postal pay raise.
This means that seven addi-
tional Republican votes are need
ed, along with the eight other
g. O. P. Senators.
The administration is applying
strong pressure to keep Senate
Republicans in line on the pay
veto vote.
8 Per Cent Bill to Be Pushed
Should the veto be upheld,
Congress is expected to waste no
time in approving the 8 per cent
postal pay bill acceptable to the
administration.
Postal clerks and letter carriers
would still get the same amount
as provided for in the 7.6 per
cent measure originally approved
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee. But the administration
favors slightly higher boosts for
special delivery messengers and
rural letter carriers than provid-
ed in the original 7.6 per cent
measure, which would bring the
overall average increase of the
bill to about 8 per cent.
There Is also considerable sem
timent in Congress to approve
a Z per cent pay boost for CLASH
fled employees and send both bills
to the White House at the same
time.
Strategy Meeting
Senate Democrats are expect
ed to meet within the next day
or two to map their strategy
on what course they will take if
the postal pay veto is upheld.
Many key Democrats in Con-
gress, such as Senate Majority
Leader johnson of Texas. House
Speaker Rayburn Of Texas and
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack of Massachusetts,, are so
angry at the President for We
toing the measure that they
have threatened there might not
be any pay bill at all this year
unless the veto is overridden.
However, these men are pledged
to support Federal pay raise leg
islation this year and it is vir-
tually certain that they will
move to bring up new Federal
pay legislation if the veto is up
held. The angry words resulted
from the heat of battle.
