The quiet daylight robbery
Of 1854 from a Riggs Ma
ticnal Bank branch in Wash
ington last Monday points up
a national trend that has the
FBI puzzled by its lack of
logic.
Crimes against savings in
stitutions are at a record high.
In fiscal 1861, ending on June
80, there were 895 Federal
violations. There hasn't been
anything like it since the wave
Of. bank holdups the FBI
stamped out in the depression
years. ......
Two curious facts stand out
in the statistics. One is the
cult of the individual. More
than 10 per cent of robberies
today are by a lone bandit.
The gangs seem occupied with
ether pursuits.
Get Little For Trouble
The other fact is how little,
on the average, a bank robber
crosses for his trouble. In 1861
the FBI found that half of
125 robberies examined yielded
less than $2,500 apiece. In
80 of them, the bandits got
nothing. In Is others, the loot
ranged from $50 to $685., sums
scarcely worth risking 20 years
in Federal prison or possibly
the death penalty" remarks
j.. Edgar Hoover, FBI director.
"SenseleSs is the word I
would use to describe it," he
adds.
Modern Banks Look Easy
The banking fraternity offers
several explanations for the
rise in holdups. One is the new
postwar look in banks, particu-
larly in the suburbs. Gone are
the forbidding bars and fort
ress-like facades, Instead, Gus
toners are lured by picture
windows, smiling tellers and
low counters. The trouble is,
these attract the larcenouS mi
nority, too.
Another reason is what Mr..
Hoover has called "outmoded
and ineffective preventive
measures" by some banks. An
official of a large downtown
bank-not RiggS-admitted to
this writer that his bank has
neither closed circuit TV, ra-
dar, hidden camera, or even a
bell alarm.
%. Its sort Of disillusioning to
people on the outside" he
added, "but we have no noise
makers. In the old days we had
buttons that clerks could step
on in a holdup-but they were
constantly touching them off
by accident, so we got rid of
them"

A panel of eminent physicians
told President Kennedy today
that an offensive against the
two biggest killers in the United
States-heart disease and can
cer-can succeed.
They said the KEY to sue
cess is a vast expansion of
medical research" backed by a
much higher level Of Federal
appropriations and commen-
surate increase in private, VOL
untary contributions.
The doctors said heart dis
ease and cancer cause two out
of every three deaths in the
United States today, that every
minute two Americans die of
one or the other.
But, the panel reported, there
is a tremendous stirring Of
optimism" in the fields of COM
batting both heart diseases and
cancer. So, they said, this is
no time to sit still in research. "

most governmental offices for
secretaries to take notes on
phone calls. 1t gives the boss a
written reminder Of what was
said and sometimes permits
the secretary to execute the de-
cisionS made over the phone
without further orders.
Mr.. Mcnamara did not give
a reason for his order. 1t is

MOSCOW, April 21 (AP).-
Neutralist Prince Souvanna
Phouma Of Laos said today he
will reach Laos April Is or 26
(which will coincide with the
start of the cease fire" in his
country.
1t was the first time a date
had been put on a possible
cease fire in embattled Laos.
An appeal for the two war
ring factions in the Southeast
Asian kingdom to lay down
their arms is expected to be
issued by Britain and the So
Wet Union within 4S hours.
Compromise Seen
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei A. Gromyko earlier told
diplomats East and West had
reached a compromise on the
sequence of cease fire and peace
conference which made it pos
Sible to publish a truce appeal.
British Ambassador Sir
Frank Roberts had been saying
he expected agreement very
soon"
Prince Souvanna, recognized
by the Communist world as still
Premier of Laos Though not by
the West), has been a visitor
here and has talked with Pre-
mjer Khrushchev at his Black
Sea vacation resort.
He said in an interview today
he would spend two or three
days in Laos.
During that time believe
an effective government can be
created" he said, but added he
did not know whether he would
be Prime Minister in a govern
ment of national union thus
created.
! He also declined to speculate
on which party would get which
cabinet posts, but apparently
all will be represented, includ-
ing the group headed by Ameri-
can-backed Prince Boun Gum
and the Communist backed Pa
tibet Lao.

kin and then told newSmen the
anticipated British-Soviet ap-
peal for a truce probably would
not be issued today.
British officials in London
reported last night that the
Russians had agreed in prin-
ciple to the British demand
for a cease fire before an in
ternational conference to unity
and neutralize the war divided
Southeast Asian kingdom.
The delay possibly could be
due to the arrival in Moscow
yesterday Of the leader of the
Pathet Lao, Prince Souphanou-
yong.
Prince Souphanouvong's half
brother and sometime political
adversary, neutraliSt Prince
Souvanna Phouma, arrived in
Moscow last Sunday to confer
with Soviet leaders. 1t was
assumed he and Prince Sou
phanouvong were meeting to-
day with Mr.. Gromyko.
