EYEWITNESS
Continued From First Page

COnt1nue0 from FIrSt rage
inform police. He was Benton
l.. Hit, SO, of $500 Georgia ave-
nue., who unwittingly followed
the machine gun bandit into
the bank.
Mr.. Hit said he watched the
bandit. who was carrying a
blue upper bag, put the bag
down near a writing table and
take the machine gun out. At
this ponit Mr.. Hit, who was
still behind him, turned and
Yetreated through the front
door. He ran about 200 feet to
q supermarket and called po-
lice.
For several bank employees
this was their second robbery.
The first one, on September 80,
1859, was committed by one
man, who passed note to a
teller and escaped briefly with
about $4,000. That teller,
Kenneth H. Gould, learned his
lesson well from the first
.holdup.
Throws Money in Basket
Mr.. Gould, who lives at 49o1
| Massachusetts, avenue NV,
today casually threw the bulk
of the money in his cash drawer
into a wastepaper basket as the
money bag was being passed
by the robbers.
"As a matter of fact" Mr..
Gould said. they didn't get any
of my money at all; I was so
slow in getting it stacked for
them that they left without it,"
Mr.. Gould was the last teller
in the row of eight windows,
and was farthest from the
pistol-carrying bandit.
This holdup gave me a very
different feeling from the last
time" Mr.. Gould said, because
that guy was standing there
holding a machinegun, and l
know what they can do"
Mr.. Gould said he had used
machineguns in the Army.
Student in Line of Fire
One man directly in the
prospective line of fire was a
college student working at the
bank during his summer vaca-
ton.
Donald Heacock, the student,
was covered by the second mans
automatic pistol and instructed
to collect the money from the
other tellers.
II was as scared as anyone, u
he said. But I'd been in
structed here at the bank how
to react to such situations
We're told to do what they tell
us but to be observant."
Mr.. Heacock, who lives al
3257 Arcadia place NV, is a
student at the University OF
North Carolina who has worked
at the bank during two previous
summers.
The one-story modern branch
bank was buzzing with activity
later today as police. FBI men
reporters and newsreel camera
men tried to talk to everyone
at once.

Mr.. Cole said the Boards re-

dent Kennedy at 9 am. Mon
day. He noted that no further
extension Of time to file the
report had been granted but
emphasized that mediation still
could be pressed after the re-
port is filled.
Such a report is part of the
Taft-Hartley law process under
which the Government can
ask a court injunction for an
S0-day cooling off period in
which the strike would be

speeded up today on the most
hopeful note since the strike

fact-finding board earlier had
reported very good progress"
in talks with company repre-
and the NMU.
Mediation Stressed
Then Max Harrison, ship
company representative, assert
ed after a parley with the Mas

The fact-finding board was
obligated only to investigate
the situation and report to
President Kennedy whether it
believed national interests were

effort to. mediate the dispute.
Mr.. Cole also had reflected
optimism in an earlier state
ment.
He had said some items re-
to be settled between
the NMU, biggest of the five
unions, and the major
industry negotiating group. But
l am not concerned" he added.
Some employer sources said
they were certain agreement
between the NMU and the in
stitute would pave the way
for quick general agreement
between the ship companies
and the other striking unions.
The important issue which
would be referred to a COM
mittee under the conditional
agreement is the union demand
to be allowed to organize the
crews of the runaway ships"
These ships pay lower wages
and have inferior working con-
ditions compared to ships un-

Industry spokesman have
said rivalry among the sea-
going unions is the chief bar
rier to settlement.
Gains Seen in Other Talks
Mr.. Cole said earlier that
talks were almost completely
concluded" between the Inter-
national Organization of Mas
ters, Mates and Pilots and a
group of shipping companies
whice have Mr.. Harrison as
their chief bargainer. These
companies have about 200
ships, and some of them are
idled in their home ports on
the Gulf Coast
Before the strike began, two
Of the striking unions reached
agreement with the so-called
Harrison group. They are the
Seafarers international Union
and the Marine Engineers Ben
eficial Association.
On the basis of an optimistic
report by the fact-finding board

President Kennedy's stroke
paralyzed father has been given
a chance to walk and talk
again. He may be able to leave
the hospital within two or three
weeks.
This was learned today as
medical authorities charted for
the 7S-year-old Joseph P. Ken
nedy a long program Of ther-
apy, exercise and muscle re-
education in and out Of the
hospital.
1t will take six or eight weeks
of rehabilitation effort before
the elder Mr.. Kennedy's doctors
can make a definite prediction
as to how much of his ability
to use the muscles on his para
lyzed right side and to speak
may be regalned.
Encouraging factors now are
that he is mentally alert, OBJ
viously understands what is
said to him, takes food by
mouth and is able to move his
right leg slightly.
Passive exercises have been
started in his rehabilitation
program. That is, his doctors or
nurses move and bend his right
leg, arm, hand and fingers for
him to prevent stiffening Of the
unused muscles.
