Says She's Glad To Be in Jail

: By United Press NEW YORK, May 23 — Mrs. Anne Myers, 34, who held up a bank for $400 because she needed an operation, said today she welcomed- jail where “they can take care of me when I'm sick.” The slight, blue-eyed mother of

: two children pointed the muzzle

of a toy gun at a teller in a branch of the Corn Exchange Bank yesterday and demanded exactly $400. “That's what I needed for an operation,” she told police after her capture a few blocks. from the bank where she was cornered by the bank's assistant manager, She sald she chose the branch bank, only four blocks from her home, because it was the closest and she couldn't run very far. She was charged with assault, robbery and illegal possession of a weapon, :

Alarm Sounded

Mrs, Myers said she stood at a bank counter and scribbled on deposit slips until she saw a teller was free, Then, she said, she walked over to the grilled window and gave the teller, Miss Evelyn Davis, 20, a note reading: “There's a gun pointed at you. Hand me exactly $400 and don’t make a sound.” Miss Davis complied, but sounded a silent alarm. A bank customer also had seen Mrs, Myers point the toy gun at the teller and told a bank employee who called assistant manager James McKee. Mr, McKee had little trouble in|, overtaking the ailing woman who had fled with four $100 bills clutched in her hand. He fired a shot into the ground as he caught up with her and demanded: “Come here, lady, and give me that money.” Mrs. Myers gave him the bills and returned to the bank where police were waiting. The twice-divorced Mrs. Myers told police she had been on and off the welfare rolls and worked as a typist when she could." She had written her mother, Mrs. C. 8. Choquette, Woonsocket, R. 1, to come here to take care of Mrs. Myers’ daughter, by her first marriage, Loretta Blondian, 14, while she underwent the needed operation. “I hoped to get-away with it,”

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, May 23 | —Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio said {last night that the United States 'does not have ‘the capacity to {build up an army that can be sent | {to fight Russia.” | The Republican presidential candidate, making his first major | political speech during a five-day {campaign in South Dakota, sald this country's foreign policy should be based on Air supremacy {with Army and Naval support. | “Our policy should not be to) have American soldiers perman-| ently stationed on the European! continent.”

Defends Plane Views

| Defending his views . on alr ipower, Sen. Taft said “the Korean |® war would have been over a year) ago,” if this country had taken “Gen. (Douglas) MacArthur's lead in bombing air bases inside of China.” In his seventh speech in the state, Sen. Taft said- the foreign policy of the present administration has been based on the theory that the Treasury is an “inexhaustible grabbag.” ! Sen. Taft criticized such admin-| istration agreements as the Breton-Woods Pact, the Economic Corporation Administration and the .stlantic Pact. “There is no sense, no consideration of getting value for the money we're spending,” ne said.
