that he knew the bank was

wasn't the bank human enough

he was inclined to agree with
police as to the checks.
The FBI was in on the in
veStigation, along with State
and city police. City patrolmen
and plain-clothes men made
the rounds of taverns last
night, looking for anyone with
a break-in record to haul in
for questioning. Motor vehicles
department employees were
questioned.
The large amount of cash
was on hand because West
Virginia auto licenses expire
June 80 and the department is
in the midst of the rush of
motorists for new plates.
A janitor discovered the
theft yesterday morning. The
thieves had bypassed the heavy
steel door of the bureaus walk

through the valut ceiling, after
using a sledgehammer and pick
to enlarge a small ventilator
opening through eight inches
of concrete and plaster.
They had knocked a hole in
the ceiling of a telephone
switchboard room next to the
vault. They climbed up into an
air space there and crawled to
a position above the vault. Po-
lice believed they got into the
building through a window
which was left unlocked.

a dozen cash lockers, in which
license bureau tellers put their
receipts at the end of each day
No attempt was made to crack
a safe in the vault room, which
Mr.. Holcomb said contained a
alf-million dollars.
Mr.. Holcomb said the money
represented accumulated re-
ceipts from the last two days

Lottery
Savings Bond
Plan Offered
BY the Associated Press

A lottery-type $25 savings
bond which might return the
buyer one million tax-free dol
lars was proposed today by
Representative Pucinski, Dem
ocrat of Illinois.
The freshman House member
said his scheme is different
from the usual lottery in that
participants wouldn't lose any
money. They would merely
forego an estimated 81 in in
tereSt a year.
Mr.. Pucinski said his plan,
designed to permit the Federal
Government to reduce its in
terest payments on the national
debt, would work this way:
The Treasury Department
would introduce a special series
of $25 savings bonus bonds, u
on which no interest would be
paid. A purchaser could buy
no more than four each year.
Every three months. 1908 OF
the bonds would be selected al
random by serial number. The
holder of the first bond would
get $1,000,000, the second $780,
900 and the third $500,000. The
1000 other bondholders woulo
get 81 900 each.
1t isn't a lottery, Mr.. Pucin-
ski said in a statement. because
the buyer would lose only the
small amount of interest he
otherwise would get. The bonds
would be redeemable at face
value at any time.
BY 1870" Mr.. Pucinski said
I'VE could be saving as much
as SIS billion annually in in
terest payments on the Fedora
debt, and this saving woulc
grow every year thereafter"

Eastern Pilots
Coming Back,
Strike Ebbs

An end to the wildcat strike
by Eastern Air Lines pilots was
seen today as many of them
reported for duty at Miami,
Washington, Boston and other
points.
One spokesman for the group
said the pilots had been con-
vinced by their union, the Air
Line Pilots Association, to re-
turn while their dispute is
being settled in an orderly
fashion.
An Eastern official said 35
or 40 flights would be resumed
from Miami today. At least %
flights were scheduled in and
out of National Airport. The
pilots spokesman predicted all
Eastern personnel would be
back by this evening.
The pilots refused to fly after
June 10 because of a Federal
Aviation Agency directive put
ting its inspectors in the third
pilots seats of jet planes during
inspection trips. The pilots
claim that unseating the third
pilot is hazardous to safety.
In a meeting at Miami last
night, Eastern pilots we're in
formed that their union and
other groups had been "suf-
! fciently aroused against the
dictatorial powers of the FAA
administrator as a result Of the
strike to be able to successfully
and legally put an end to the
abuses"
4 Pilots of Pan-American, also
striking over the same griev-
ance, were urged by a Federal
court judge in Chicago to quit
claims of sickness" and re-
turn to work pending settle
ment of the dispute.

Supreme Court Decides
18 Cases in Busiest Doy

With only one more week to
go before it's summer adjourn
ment, the Supreme Court de-
cided 18 cases yesterday in the
busiest day of its 1959-60 term.
But it put of until next year
a decision on the most contro-
versial labor case on its docket.
The question of whether it is
unconstitutional to require a
worker to join a union which
uses part of his dues for po-
litical activity will be argued
again next term.
The poStponement was or
dered because the Justice De-
partment, which was not a
party in the case, had not been
notified officially that a Fed
eral law, the Railway Labor
Act, had been challenged as
unconstitutional. The Georgia
Supreme Court has held that
a worker cannot be compelled
to contribute the fruits Of his
labor" to political activities
with which he disagreeS.
A unanimous opinion deliv-
cred by Chief Justice Warren in
another case will make it easier
for the Government to move
against firms charged with il
legal price-cutting to drive out
competitors.
The RobinSon-Pa Act
makes it unlawful to charge
discriminatory lower prices to
some customers than others
where the effect is to lessen
competition or tend to create
a monopoly. Lower courts have
found it difficult to define price
discrimination" as used in the
act, however.
The Supreme Court made It
simple. Discrimination simply
means a price difference" it
said. With the basic evidence
of different prices, the Govern
ment may proceed to prove the
charge of damage to compe-
tition or tendency toward
monopoly.
Beer Concern Involved
The case involved Anheuser-
Busch, Inc, which cut the price
of Budweiser beer in st. Louis
The Federal Trade Commission
charged the price-cutting was
intended to punish three other
st. Louis breweries which had
refused to follow the lead OF
the major national brands and
raise prices after a 1858 strike
in the industry.
The growing irritation of the
Supreme Court in having tc
resolve labor disputes which
add to it's overcrowded docket
was reflected in rulings in three
separate labor cases, all in
volving the United Steelwork-
ers.
