Patient Bandits Rob Patrons Of Dutch's Bar DETROIT UPI — It was crowded but there was plenty to drink. Outside a locked door, I two droll, patient bandits kept; the party going. It all started at Dutch’s Bar about 11:30 a. m. Thursday! when two men walked in. Out | came the guns. The man turned ; over his money, then was shoved into the men’s room. A minute later, a hand reached in, passing a bottle to the hostage. Another customer, another holdup, another privy prisoner, j more drinks, all provided by the workaday bandits. So it went for five hours. The mailman came in and soon found himself in the men’s room, a few dol- . lars poorer. About 4:30 p. m. the men decided they had enough—51,250 to be exact. The barmaid was invited to join her unwilling freeloading customers in the men’s room. The “hosts” de-

parted.

Two customers came in. No one was in sight but raucous, muffled sounds came from the locked rest room. Police were

called.

building office in Austin for budget discussions with Gardner Ackley, chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Ackley is bringing with him from Washington the latest figures on prices, spending, balance of payments and revenues and plant investments. Johnson will decide — probably sometime this month— whether to seek an income tax hike next year on the basis of Ackley’s recommendations. In Washington, the Committee for Economic Development, a blue-ribbon business group, Thursday recommended a oneyear across-the-board tax increase and reduced federal spending to head off a federal budget deficit and cool the economy. The combined program could produce a budget surplus of $3 billion, the group

said.

A spending reduction would be preferable to the tax hike but cuts are not realistic “in the next six or eight months when it is needed most,” the committee indicated. The Chief Executive, back in stride after recent throat and abdominal surgery, will fly to the Mexican border Saturday to inspect the international Amistad Dam with President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico. Plan Ceremony WASHINGTON UPI — The Amvets will note the 25th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor with a ceremony Saturday at the tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. A.

He was born in England and became interested in American auto racing when he was about 12 years old. And about that same time he made a vow to himself to someday see the Indianapolis 500. He made that vow come true in 1964 when he spent a three week vacation at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, meeting a large number of people connected with the event. As he had read so much about them he was able to give many of them a resume of their career. He returned to the track the following year, 1965, and had a job on Race Day with Sid Collins on the race broadcast. Don had come this time on a one-way ticket and secured a job with US AC, for whom he still works. A lifetime VFW membership and a colored telvision set will be awarded following the dinner.
