Masked bandit robs local Speedway service station i By M. EILEEN DALEY The Speedway gas station, at 906 N. Main, was robbed Tues- day night by a man whose ap- pearance was described by an attendant as "just like in an old Western." The attendant, Allan Dale, 20, was working alone in the sta- tion when at about 9:20 p.m., a man ran into the station with o faded white handkerchief tied cowboy style around his face. THE MAN jabbed a handgun into Dale's back, ordered him down behind the counter and instructed him to remove all the money from the cash reg- isei. Dale did as he was asked. The thief, however was not sat- isfied with the $142 in the reg- ister "le said tell me where the money is. This gun is loaded,"' Dale said, "and then he clicked the gun." Dale explained to him that shortly before he had dropped $100 into the station's floor safe, and the manager had the only key. He said it would be impossible to get the money out "unless he wanted to blow up the whole building." AT THAT point,satcustomer puled into the station. The thief held the gun at Dale's head, and ordered him to go to the door with him. Dale waved to the customer, instructing hiii to cometinside. Dale said the thief then or- dered both of them to the back of the station, while "making sure we don't look at him. He kept asking me how can you pug money in (the safe) without opening it. Finally he just left." ACCORDING TO Dale, the man got away with the $142 from the register about $20 to- the customer, and $3 from Dale's wallet. Dale described the man as about 25 years old, five feet, eight inches tall, with a me- dium build, Police have made no arrests in the robbery yet.

Local OWleaders announce plans for pro-ERA w0alk-a-thon (Continued from Page 1) said Barbara Markana, a mem- ber of NOW's Executive Board. "There won't just be one group marching. There will be house- wives, young kids, students, all demonstrating their support of the ERA." The Ann Arbor!/ Washtenaw branch of NOW is also planning a rally at Crisler Arena before their walk-a-thon, with Mayor Albert Wheeler of Ann Arbor and Mayor David Goodman- of Ypsilanti as speakers. Both are members of NOW. Another NOW strategy for passing the ERA is to put eco- nomic pressure on the unrati- fied states, by persuading many organizations to avoid conven- tions in those states. "WE'RE KEEPING money out of those states," Markana said. "We won't have conven- tions in that certain state with the palm trees, and we might: not even drink their orange juice." Karen Rice, Legislative Co- ordinator, said passing the ERA will take more than rallies and marches. She said it is also necessary to elect politicians who support the ERA and who will ivork for its passage. In North*Carolina and Nevada where the ERA was recently defeated, Rice said they had expected political support. "WE THOUGHT they were pro-ERA and they changed their votes,". Rice said. - - Concerning the close defeat of off Medicaid funds for alo)ris the ERA in the Illinois House of Markana said she was g'all Representatives in early June, disturbed.
