Lynn Hall, 39, manager of the East Branch f the Idaho Bank and Trust Co. here, said he had figured out about how much , money the robber got but the FBI had told him to withhold that in formation. In Butte, Mont., the regional FBI office said the loot is est mated at $30,000. Hall said the robbery occurred at 2:04 p.m. after he nad locked the front door and drawn: the blinds.

Nichols asking that the Rolander memorandum be distributed within the' organization. In the memorandum. Rolander, deputy director of AEC's security division, says he spent the first six months of this year on the person nel security case of Oppenheimer, the noted atomic scientist who now has been barred from access to atomic secrets, i J j : - The Alsop brothers contend is their , article, published in Harper's magazine, that AEC. officials did not give Oppenheimer a fair hear ing, anc were motivated in some cases by personal grudges. Rolander protested in his reply n?t he termed "liberties taken with the facts" by the Alsops and writes a comment giving "the facts," he says, i on 43 "flagrant" statements by the authors. In general, tthe AEC official at tempts to refute the Alsop's con tention that AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss was out to "get" Oppen heimer. He contends the final ver dict on Oppenheimer; was fully justified: by the scientist's conduct and associations. ; ! The U. S. News & World Report prints, along with the Rolander memo, a rebuttal by the Alsops, who say Rolander' presentation is more marked by bias than ver acity." i i i They also say Rolander's "care lessness with the known facts," as they put it, gives final proof that the Oppenheimer proceeding was 'a blindly partisan prosecution."

Lafferty, attorney representing Clackamas county, ore. i . Lafferty said he had written the President for release of the funds now held back by the Treasury pending settlement of a dispute over 472,000 acres of Oregon timber land. . The dispute is whether the land should be considered part of the Oregon and California Railroad land grant or part of Forest Service land. The money comes from sale of timber on the land. 'The counties ask no interest payment on "the wrongfully with held money, and sorely need the principal. Some of the counties are paying interest on obligations. Loss of interest on the withheld moneys at 4 per cent equal $2,000 each month of delay," Lafferty wrote. Asks Ike Help He asked the President "to use his good offices for expedition of settlement by the attorney general and the Secretaries of Intenor and Azriculture." , ' In O & C holdings, the counties receive 75 per cent of timber sale receiots. In Forest service lana they set 25 per cent. Lafferty said thcU. s. txmrt of Anneals for the District ol Columbia last spring sustained the counties' "unquestioned claim to th fund undef existing acts of Congress." The anoellate court -sent tne case back to the district court with instructions to i continue proceed ings not inconsistent, with the higher court's view, I Provides Distribution - 1 Lafferty did not refer to a bill passed by Congress last spring providing for distribution of the money at once. Clackamas County has challenged the constitutionality of a section of that law, which put administration of the 472,000 acres in the Forest Service, but left the counties' share of receipts at 75 oer cent: L' (At Roseburg, Ore., Rep.
