Clues Found
In Search for
Bank Robbers

NEW YORK. April Z (R.-A
fingerprint and four or five
rogues gallery photographs gave
police today possible clues to
the four men who robbed a
Queens bank of a record of
$305 .243 in cash.
Fifty FBI men joined so city
detectives working to crack the
case.
The four gunmen kidnapped a
clerk near his home to get into
the Woodside, Queens, branch of
the Chase Manhattan Bank
yesterday. They locked IL per-
sons in a vault and escaped with
bundles Of bills of mostly S, 10
and 20 dollar denominations. No
shots were fired and no one was
hurt.
Police said bank employees,
cowed by a tommygun during
the holdup yesterday. had iden-
titled four or five photos as
resembling the robbers. The
police did not identify the
suspects.
Fingerprint Found
Further, a flngerprint was
found on the speedometer of a
two-toned blue Cadillac the
holdup men abandoned after the
robbery.
In a move to halt the increas-
ing number of such robberies, a
policeman henceforth will be as
signed to every bank building in
the city each day from an hour
before until an hour after the
bank opens.
Yesterdays precision job, like
number of others, was pulled off
after the bank employees began
arriving, but before the bank
opened for business.
The timing was such that the
money had been taken out of the
vaults for the days business. but
the bank doors still were locked
so that there was minimum
number of persons on hand to
summon police.
So far as could be ascertained,
there was no guard and no alarm

Heed The Storm SIGNALS

BY needing storm signals n can avoid a deluge of small fry stub
born "No'si" which may rival a hurricane for upsetting meatime at
mosphere. Knowing how to recognize the forerunners of stable time
storms" is almost a necessity for parents.
Youngsters and appettes easily are parted-a fact to remember when
otherwise healthy children dawdle over food. The best food can fail to
appeal If emotions re in a turmoil Where meals r peaceful. stubborn
feeding problems are not so apt to occur. The dining room should never
turn into a court of appeals with father forced to play judge and mother
IS on the jury. Excitement of any knd-parhcuarly anger, fear or
other intense emotions-hinders digestion.
The overly hungry, overly tired child does not enjoy his food. School
age children, constantly on the go, should have a few minutes rest or
4uiet before meals.
Children. with hearty appetites at mealtimes and who eat a good
variety of foods, often are genuinely hungry by mid-morning o after
noon. They need an extra meal"1a sandwich of enriched bread and a
glass of milk or some fruit-eaten at midmorning or after school to
supply required nutrients and energy.
New foods or new ways Of serving welliked foods can help keep
mealime interest high. To avoid an 81 won't eat it" storm, only one
new food is offered at a time. Only small portions of it are served the
first time.
1t should be kept in mind that children like simple, coorful foods
foods neither too strongly favored nor highly spiced.
Youngsters attitudes follow the course set by mother and dad. Dads

mothers plans going aground. HanDy parents keep family meals a
