walked inside the gate.
The FBI said that before the
bandits separated in their get
away, each grabbed a handful
of the money to finance his
escape.
Action RecOunted
County police and the FBI
gave this account of the rob-
berry:
Three bandits walked into
the bank at 10:45 am, carry
f ing the sawed-off shotgun and
pistol and faced bank manager
Francis Burn, 81.
They Immediately put Mr..
Burn into the vault and turned
to the only other person in the
room, Mrs. Margaret E. Doug
las, 30, a teller.
Inc man armed with the
shotgun walked behind the
counter and told Mrs. Douglas
to put the money in a paper
bag the bandits were carrying.
They took between $4,000 and
$4,000 from her cash supply
and then emptied the cash
drawer of the section next to
hers.
They then put Mrs. Douglas
in the vault with Mr.. Burn but
did not lock the door.
AS they fled through the
front door, they dropped a
bundle of money.
2 Released From Vault
Meanwhile, another teller,
Mrs. Esther Serrin, Al, came
out of a rear room, where she
had been during the robbery
and found her fellow workers
in the vault. She let them out
and they called the police.
Earlier, police had been
called by Mrs. Peggy Lloyd, a
secretary at Bowie Race Track.
Mrs. Lloyd said she had re-
ceived a telephone call from
Mr.. Burn who suddenly put
down the receiver and Mrs.
Lloyd tried to call him back.
She said the telephone rang
several times and then some
one picked up the receiver and
left it off the hook. In the
background she heard a man
shout, "get in the vault, get
in the vault" She then called
police.
Police are still looking for the
third holdup man. All were de-
scribed as Negroes in their 20s.

force soon If we would start to
produce the Nike-zeus.
The Air Forces request for
more emphasis on bombers
was given a detailed mo" by
Mr.. Mcnamara. He said that
bombers are too vulnerable to
an enemy surprise attack.
What we are proposing is a
capability to strike back after
absorbing a first blow" he said.
Bombers--including the RS-70
are not well suited for a sec
ond-strike force, and the Sky
bolt missile would not make
them better suited, he said.
Mr.. Mcnamara also an
nounced that he will soon start
to dismantle some of the un-
hardened Atlas ICBMs. The
first Aliases to come into the
arsenal stand unprotected above
the ground. They are suitable
only for an American first nu-
clear strike and thus have now
become marginal weapons, he
said.
The Pentagon has already
announced that it is junking
Thor and Jupiter missiles in
Europe. These weapons are also
unprotected and useful only for
a first nuclear strike.
Critics of the stalemate policy
which Mr.. Mcnamara called
mutual deterrence" in his
statement today-say that we
must increase our research and
development programs to insure
that we are the first to find
some offensive or defensive
weapon that will break any
Stalemate.
But Mr.. Mcnamara said: eve
believe that the substantial in
crease in the defense program
initiated during the last two
years has put us in a position
where we can now afford to
move more carefully in the ini-
tiation Of new major weapons
system developments" This ap-
peared aimed at convincing
critics that he does not favor
trying to break a stalemate with
new weapons.
Actually Mr.. Mcnamara has
a new approach to develop
ment programs. He said that
poor planning, unrealistic
schedules, unnecessary design
changes and enormous cost
increases over original esti-
mates have continuously dis
rupted the efficient operation
of our research and develop
ment programs"
Therefore he is forcing the
services to define their re-
search proposals more care
fully.
Mr.. Mcnamara made it clear
that his "no-city" strategy will
not be abandoned. We would
not strike at Soviet cities un-
less they hit ours first. This
would give the enemy an in
centive to spare our cities.
Sees 1t Worthwhile
Whether they would accept
1t (the incentive) in a globa
nuclear war, no one can say,
he testified. Considering what
is at stake, we believe it il
worth the additional effort or
, our part to have this option.

a prediction Of bad faith on
anyone's part. 1t is what is
considered here a realistic
reading of the strategic re-
quirements of the United States
in coming years.
Significant First Move
In this connection the with
drawal of missile bases from
Europe is taken as a significant
first move away from the con-
cept Of peripheral defense an
chored in Europe.
The final long range premise
on which French policy is based
is that Russia, during the pc
iod, will move closer to Europe
AS Russian society becomes
increasingly bourgeois and Eu-
ropes increasingly socialized
the theological differences will
become less important. And as
the split between Russia ano
China deepens, the chance fol-
real accommodation in Europe
will improve.
Meanwhile, it is emphasized
there is no question of a third
force" in the Western camp
There is no one who has beer
reader than Gen. de Gaulle tt
stand up to the Russians ir
every crisis. There was no one
quicker with his unconditional
pledge of support for the United
States in the Cuban showdown
At the same time there are
certain unpleasant constants in
Gen. de Gaulle's thinking that
show through the most tactfu
explanation of his present pol
icies.
DETERMINATION EVluent
The first of these is the de.
termination to reduce the de,
pendence Of Europe on tht
United States in every vita

/ PARIS, Jan. 30.-While the
angry echoes of yesterdays ex-
plosion in Brussels reverberate
around the world, the outward
attitude of the French govern
ment today remains one of
glacial composure.
Serenity is the order Of the
day from Gen. de Gaulle down
to the humblest official mouth
piece. Britain's failure to gain
entrance to the Common Mar
ket is likely to be less catas-
trophic than most people seem
to think.
While the tempest RACES il
is reassuring to recall earlier
storms successfully weathered
The Western alliance did not

up after the French defeated
the European Defense Com
munity almost a decade ago.
"Where Are We NOw?"
The failure Of negotiations
with the British over Euro
pean free trade area in 1855
aroused the wrath of the world
press. But three years later
when Britain decided to join
the Common Market, nearly
everyone admitted the French
had been right.
This time, to be sure. the
storm is particularly violent
And by no means all French
men share the capitals sell
confidence. Criticism of the
French action in Brussels il
hardly less severe among French
politicians and editorialist!
than those of other Western
capitals.

said.
"The governments of the five

number 120 million. have
clearly shown that they are
amongst those who share with
us a common view Of the Eu-
rope we want to see. There is

Mr.. Macmillan, who had
staked his reputation on the
success of the talks, was GER
tain to face a full scale attack
from the opposition Labor
Party against a background Of
100000 unemployed and a stag
mating economy.
One effect could be a scaling
down of British military com
mitments to the defense OF
Europe.
New Grouping Sought
Trade experts said Britain
has one path now: A fierce
fight to win bigger markets
overseas and to spur industria
growth at home through more
efficiency in in dustry anC
harder work all around.
One suggestion was that thu
government propose a grouping
of countries based on the Com
monwealth, Britain's partners
in the European Free Trade AS
sociation, and any Latin Amer
ican countries that want tC
join.
While Gen. de Gaulle's snub
was directed at Britain. one
immediate result was to isolate
the French statesman from his
five Common Market partners
who had rallied to the British
cause.

I'VE must continue to

Raised Conventional Force
Mr.. Mcnamara pointed out
that this administration has
increased conventional power
to the extent where only a
massive attack in Europe need
be met by tactical nuclear
weapons. The rest of the
world, he said, can be pro-
tected with non-nuclear forces
Some Army Officers say
however, that past public
statements by defense officials
show they believe that a small
nuclear war probably would
grow quickly into a genera,

point out, we are looking to g

Der and naked to attack. Few
of them could be expected TO
survive and counter-attack.
But Mr.. Mcnamara made it
clear today, in testifying before
a closed session of the House
committee, that the United
States cannot long expect to be
so successful in a nuclear
strike.
A censored version of his
testimony said: Even If we
were to double and triple our
forces we would not be able to
destroy quickly all or almost
all of the hardened ICBM sites.
And even if we could do that,
we know of no way to destroy
the enemy's missile launching
submarines at the same time" "
Effective in 4 Years
His statement gave no es-
innate of when the Russians
are expected to have a large
protected missile force, but If
they matched the American
pace they could have 1t by
1867.
BY that time, then, the
United States could not order
the Sword" into a battle for
Europe without assuming that
America would be doomed in
the counter-attack, experts say,
Air Force and congressional
dissenters argue that Mr.. Nc
Namara's position would permit
even invite-the Communists
to attack Europe without fear OF
an American long range strike
Army critics also question
indications by Mr.. Mcnamara
and other defense officials that
even American use of small
battlefield nuclear weapons in
Europe may be on the way out
as a defense against an enemy
attack with conventional arms
These critics have been say
ing privately, since work on
the new military budget started

Secretary Mcnamara is plan

conceding the enemy the first
nuclear blow.
Supporters Arguments
Mr.. cNamara's supporters
counterwith these arguments:
If the Russians in fact

missiles, then the sword
strategy will become impossible
to carry out successfully
whether we like it or not.
But, they add, this may prove
to be blessing because since
the Russians could not get al

Thus there would be a nucleal
stalemate on the level of large
long-range weapons. This ir
turn, could bring new stability

and eventually lead to arm,
control and disarmament or
both sides.
