six I TIE MICHIGAN DAILY FRmAV, OCTORElt ; i, j n7 ---- ------Y- O-C-O-------- Bandits Steal $100,000 in Payroll Loot Clever Crooks Escape in Auto BOSTON, Oct. 30-(/P)--Six ob- viously well rehearsed bandits held up a Hyde Park factory office today and escaped with $110,000 in small bills-the payroll of the Sturtevant division of the West- inghouse Electric Corporation. Wearing overalls, five of the] men entered the plant grounds with workmen early in the morn- ing. They walked into the main office about 8:15 a.m.-a few min-j utes after paymaster W. R. Mar- shall and five assistants unlocked and entered a large vault to begin counting out the wages of 2,000 workers. The bandits escaped in an auto- mobile in which the sixth man waited at the wheel. While one man knocked down a special police guard and kept watch in a hallway, two others drove telephone operators away from their board, and forced them to lie on the main office floor with 20 other'workers. Another pair went directly to the vault, forced Marshall and his aids to stand against the wall, and pushed the bills into a bag. One of the bandits wore a gun- .ysack over his head, and two oth- ers wore harlequin masks. "This is no Halloween party," one of the men announced in the office. "We don't want to hurt anybody-we just want the cab- bage." The bandits left behind rolls of coins which plant manager Gard- ner Derry said amounted to $2,000. The payroll money had been de- livered by armored car only a few minutes before the holdup men entered the office. The first American newspaper was the Boston News-letter, es- tablished by John. Campbell in April, 1704, according to the En- cyclopaedia 1Britannica. Camp- bell's paper developed from news- letters. JACKSON BEAUTY--Beverly Lillie, of nearby Jackson, Mich., gave her Christmas shopping list the once over as she languidly basked in Old Sol's sizzling rays last Sunday. Unseasonal Fall weather belies the 'fact that Christmas is only 50 shopping days off. Charge Schools Are FireTraps Public school buildmngs in many Michigan cities and rural areas are "structurally dangerous" and are becoming instructionally ob- solete, according to Prof. Arthur G. Moehlman, of the business ad- ministration school. Writing in the current issue of the University's School of Edu- cation Bulletin, Prof. Moehlman points out that as a result of failure to build during the depres- sion and war, years, a state-wide need for one hundred million dol- lars in school building has devel- oped. "Current studies throughout tae state indicate a very critical school plant situation," he explains. "Tens of thousands of children are housed in instructionally ob- solescent and structurally danger- ous elementary schools more than 40 years old. Most boards of edu- cation have adopted a policy of withholding these facts for fear of creating panic.". GRIDIRON BALLYHOO: Irish Fill Football Programs WithLife Histories, Editorials Police Reveal Startling Key' To Thievery Sleepy Students Worst Offenders Faulty alarm clocks and slum- ber-starved students may be con- tributing factors in daily, reports of missing bicycles, an Ann Ar- bor police sergeant suggests. Upwards of 30 bicycles a month are "borrowed" by unintentional thieves in a hurry, he said. Since the rate of bicycle disappearance is dependent almost entirely on whether the University is in ses- sion, the student who rushes breathlessly into the classroom on time by a whisker may be a cul- prit, Recover 75 Per Cent Halfway through September on- ly 20 bicycles were reported miss- ing, while thus far in October the yield is more than double - 45. Police recover about 75 per cent of missing bicycles; 33 have been returned this month. But they are hampered by frequent lack of identification on bikes. "That 25- cent license is the best insurance you can buy," one officer pointed out. Non-Reporters Are Nuisances People who don't report the loss or recovery of their bikes are also a nuisance. The Daily reported one case - the coed who lost her vehicle in April, found it two weeks later (neglecting of course to report the recovery) and was dismayed when police, still search- ing diligently, last week removed her bicycle from the rack outside her residence. "That might have been embarrassing if she'd been caught riding it," a sergeant said. Therehas been no noticeable increase in bike thefts, in spite of the muchnlarger student popula- tion. Even during the instability of wartime, the rate rose only slightly. Everyone is at a loss to explain this - perhaps "borrow- ing" is a perpetual and permanent adjunct of Ann Arbor life, the only stable factor in the midst of ever- changing conditions.

It is sponsored by the Westward Ho! Travel Bureau. Editorials Too The editorial of the week was written by James E. Armstrong, Notre Dame Alumni Secretary. "Just as in 1887, when Notre Dame was great without football," he writes, "so today a prominent priest in a nearby city states, 'Notre Dame is not great because it has a great football team. It has a great football team because it is a great University." He continues: "Football is in a sense a symbol of the pattern of progress for Notre Dame. It 'represents the sound management of the University administration in policy. It reflects the hard work, and frequently the genius, of the coaches ... On and On '. . . In its faculty there is the same hard work and the same touches of genius that make the coaching of football teams great It goes on and on. The rest of the program in- cludes snaps of old teams, Notre Dame's All-Time Record, Songs and Cheers, in addition to the usual line-ups, individual pictures of players and so forth. Which all adds up to an acute case of football fever. Read and Use Michigan Daily Classifieds Vii/ ":::f': ::. ; :::f. :v: - vF i f f ' : r l uch to bo x;:".
