Bandit Walks Casually From Bank After Holdup NKW BRITAIN, Conn., July 25 lF) A bandit casually walked out of the Fidelity Industrial bank with between $10,000 to $12,000 in cash Friday after a dar ing armed holdup. The bandit, about 30, followed Thomas J. Higgins, 36, the bank's credit manager, into the building when the latter opened the front door. : Forcing Higgins into the vault at the point of a gun, the bandit ordered the credit manager to dump the money into a white can vas bag provided by the intruder. As the bandit left the building, he met Miss Geraldine Curtin, 16, a bank employee,- at the front door. She assumed he was a bank cus tomer and greeted him with a "good morning." The bandit replied with a "good morning" of his own and casually walked out.

The present program expires next Monday, President Truman has asked that it be continued. Under the program, unemploy ed veterans receive government payments of up to $20 a week for 52 weeks. About 600,000 vet erans now are getting them. The committee's action sends on to the Senate .a bill which would keep tile program inforee. both Senate and House must approve It for the program to continue. Backers of a similar measure in the House are pessimistic about extension of the law. The bill is before the House veterans committee. The chairman, Rep. Rankin (D Miss), has said It is going to stay there. He has called the "52-20" benefits "sit down money and rocking chair money." fig.

If you are planning a heavenly vacation in your space ship, here is how you get a road map for a trip through the untvtrse just call at the Palomar Observatory on the mountain of the fame name in southern California. For a fee about $2,000, they can provide you with a sky chart reaching back three-million light years. But wait a minute you may have to stand in line, the sky mapping has only Just started. And astronomers on the mountain near San Diego say It may take four years with Palomar's 200-inch telescope.
