Machinegun Armed Men Rob Los Angeles Bank Los Angeles U.PJ Two bandits wearing black hoods and armed with a sub machinegun and two revolvers held up a Bank of America branch Satur day and escaped with $20,000 cash after apparently hiding in the bank overnight. "We don't want to hurt any one here. We just want the mon ey," onff of the hooded gunmen told frightened employees at the South Hoover street bank. Police, who called the rob bery this city's first machinegun holdup since 1921, said the band its were hiding in the bank when employees arrived for work and didn't reveal themselves until after the bank vault was open ed.

The Klamath Falls Herald and News has been designated as news agency in the case by the FBI. The following story, was written by Herald and News Staff Reporter Wallace Myers, who has been on the case since the search first started last' Sunday. His article, printed in the Klamath Falls paper, tells graphically how the search' is progressing.) " BY WALLACE MYERS Herald and News Reporter $ Somewhere in an ever-tightening FBI net today was the mur derous robber who last Saturday shot two men to death in Crater Lake National Park. No one knows who or where the killer is but some web of the FBI snare may flush at least a suspect at any minute now. There was nothing in the re port from FBI headquarters to day to point a possibility of a break in the case soon. J. B. Poster, chief of the FBI bureau in Portland, told the Herald and News simply: "We are progress ing by elimination." Electric But to this reporter, there seemed to be an electric air of expectancy today. Said one of the federal agents here: "I hope you've got a good hunch." And then he smiled and turned back to the job at hand; minutes are precious to the government agents when killers are at large. Since two General Motors of ficials were robbed and slain in the national park last Saturday, a sizable squad of crack federal agents have worked top speed to break the case. Victims of the daring and bru tal daylight murders were C. P. Culhane, Detroit, Mich., and A. M. Jones, Concord, Calif. Interest Old timers say that few crimes in .huamatn history nave so stirred the citizenry. Since the victims' bodies were found Mon day afternoon interest in the case has been extremely high, And most remarks have been fired with blazing anger at the wanton cruelty of the killer. Although the case is being handled by the FBI, all other law enforcement agencies have taken an active interest. Yesterday the writer went to the scene of the crime with a party including Circuit Judge David Vanden berg, Sheriff Murray (Red) Brit- ton and ex-Sheriff Lloyd Low, The shadowy forest glade where Culhane and Jones were found dead from single bullet wounds in their heads, is about one-quarter of a mile back in the woods from the park's South entrance highway.' Theories Typical of other visitors to the scene, Vandenberg, Britton and Low theorized on how the crime was actually committed as they stepped gingerly about the tragic area. To aid them in making their deductions, the writer as sumed ' prone positions on the exact spots the murdered men's bodies were discovered. If and when the case comes to trial, it will be in federal court "I wouldn't be here if I were going' to try the case," remarked Circuit Judge Vandenberg at the crime scene yesterday. Mt. Lassen National Park, Calif. The wife of a park ranger, Mrs. Ruthie Simms Murray, 45, Friday confessedshe murdered her husband, whose bodv was found Tuesday. Her husband, Carlton G. Murray, navy veteran, was a seasonal ranger at the park. His body was found in a ranger station in the south part of the park, shot with a small caliber gun. On The Side by e. v.

It should have a strong protective policy to prevent fathers being pushed too far into the background. Ex perienced fathers should give aid, encouragement and sym pathy to young fathers. No ex pectant young father should pace a hospital waiting room alone. He should be accompanied by two members of the Fathers' club. The design of the club's emblem and button should fea ture a likeness of Whistler's father, the most forgotten father of all time. George Washington Whistler, father of James Mc Neil Whistler, was a brilliant and successful man.

He grad uated from West Point with honors, was a major in the U.S. Army and a sucessful civil engi neer. As consulting engineer of the Imperial Russian commis sion, Whistler's father built the first railroad between St. Peters burg (now Leningrad) and Mos cow.

This is an in teresting query. My choice is the following: Within this vale Of toil and sin. Your head grows bald But not your chin. Golf What's your record for num ber of rounds of golf played in one day? Wilfred Jones, a British golfer, recently played six rounds of golf, 108 holes in one day. He played for 13 hours and 15 minutes and figured he had walked 27 miles. Quite a day of golf.' I used to play considerable golf in one day, but now if I play 18 holes in the morning and 36 in the afternoon I get a little tired. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

She said: "I cannot understand how a woman can live with a man she does not love. Heaven knows, it is difficult enough to live with one when you do love him." titles The originating of provocative box office titles, possessing the necessary brevity to fit a theater marquee, seems a lost art. One cf my six favorite play titles of this type is that of Pinero's great ulav, "The Notorious Mr. Ebb Smith." Cook Book Now there is a Texas cook book. I didn't know there was sufficient cookery in the Lone Star State to fill a book. Yet this one has 250 recipes. I was in terested in a recipe for something called ' Willies Peach Dump ling."

Air Force Undersecretary Ros well L. Gilpatric announced in a statement Friday . night that the Air Force has ordered the last of the B-36's. The heavy bombers already ordered will be completed, sometime in 1954. The B-36, first designed in World War II, is powered by six conventional type radial engines and four jet pods, giving it a speed of more than 435 miles an hour. It can carry a 10,000 pound bomb load, including the atomic bomb, for a range of 10, 000 miles. 1 Successor to the B-36 will be the B-52 Stratofortress, an all jet bomber with a speed of more than 600 miles an hour and a range and bomb load almost equal to the B-36's. First models of the B-52 are now undergoing flight tests. The decision to stop B-36 production in 1954 is evidently based on the fact that the B-52 will be going into combat units then.
