UPI — A young crew cut robber with a nervous smile and a small brown bag snatched $2,500 from the Valley National Bank Thursday and later telephoned to say he was sorry. Hie apologetic telephone call came only minutes after he fled on foot Officials said he wasn’t sorry enough to give up the money, though. “He said he needed the money desperately and had given a lot of thought to it before he came in here,” bank Vice President John Miller said. "He apologized and thanked the girl teller for being nice to him.” The unidentified gunman also talked to an FBI agent who was in the bank. The agent unsuccessfully attempted to talk him into giving up. Escapes Injury In Plane Mishap BROOKSTON, Ind.

CAIRO UPI — Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser today appeared to be awaiting the return of his war minister from Moscow before making his next major move in the Middle East crisis. The minister, Shams Badran, flew to the Soviet capital Thursday at the head of a 10man mission and reportedly immediately began arms aid talks with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Grechko. In Moscow, informed sources said the Soviet Union was unwilling to join the United States, Britain and France in a peace initiative, but might be prepared to use its influence privately with Egypt and other Arab allies to prevent war. There possibly was a price even for this. In London diplomatic sources said the Russians would make a Kremlin peace bid conditional on a scaling-down of the U.S. effort in Vietnam. Nasser announced he will hold a news conference Sunday. There was no indication whether he would use it merely to harangue Israel or to give a clearer indication of Egyptian intentions in the crisis. Jittery nerves were shaken Thursday by an Egyptian announcement that Israeli troops had crossed the Gaza border and clashed with a Palestine Liberation Army unit. Israel was quick to deny categorically the Egyptian claim. There was no public expectation in Cairo of a diplomatic solution to the crisis. It appeared that United Nations Secretary General Thant had not budged Nasser on the critical issue of Egypt’s blockade of Israeli’s southern sea route.

Marines Stage Two Offensives

SAIGON UPI — Thousands, of U.S. Marines in a second in-; vasion of the Demilitarized! Zone (DMZ) on the North-South Vietnam border conquered a Communist hilltop fortress and chased its mauled survivors today. A second Leatherneck drive just below the buffer zone pushed into the guerilla-infested jungle moimtains near the Laotian border. The separate Marine drives in the narrow border area turned at smashing units of five North Vietnamese divisions in the area. A Marine multi-battalion force launched their attack into the DMZ Thursday and fought a vicious six-hour battle before routing Communist defenders and taking Hill 117, a North Vietnamese fortress from which the Communists fired mortars and rockets at the American border outposts. The drive in South Vietnam’s northwest comer swept near the spot where one of the war’s bloodiest battles was fought two weeks ago — Hill 881. Before the new DMZ invasion, the Marines repulsed two ground attacks on Con Thien by North Vietnamese forces earlier Thursday. Then a multi-bat-talion Marine force charged into the DMZ and up bothersome bunker-infested hill 117. The Leathernecks counted 84 dead Communists in the fighting. Marine officials said 14 Leathernecks were killed in the battle and another 119 wounded. Hill 117 is located just five miles northwest of Con Thien. an American artillery base and U.S. Army Special Forces camp. The Marines plunged back into the DMZ only hours after returning to their camp from Operation Hickory Nut, the first American operation in the DMZ. Hickory Nut was a week-long sweep which cut into elements of two North Vietnamese regiments and left more than 600 Communists dead.

WASHINGTON UPI — The House has approved a four-year extension of the draft which would virtually guarantee college men they will not be called up until they get their bachelor’s degree. The draft bill passed by the House late Thursday night would prevent the president from terminating undergraduate deferments unless military needs could not be met without inducting students. The bill would also make it more difficult-but not impossi-ble-for the President to set up a draft lottery. The measure is now headed for a Senate-House conference committee. The Senate approved legislation two weeks ago which extended the draft laws in virtually their present

form.

The version passed by the House provides that when a college student gets his bachelor’s degree or reaches age 24, whichever comes first, he would be placed in the draft pool for one year. Youths who do not go to college would be placed in the draft pool when they reach 19. If they were not called before their 20th birthday, they could reasonably assume they would not be inducted except in case of national emergency. Members of the Armed Services Committee, who pushed their bill through the House without major amendment, contend the proposed changes will fully meet the needs of the armed forces while reducing the uncertainty now facing draftage men. But critics of the measure contend that in time of war, one class of citizens-those who can go to college-should not have the choice of putting off their military obligation for four

years.

A majority of the Congressmen on hand for Thursday’s night’s raucous debate agreed with the committee position. Clothes Betray CHARLESTON, S.C. UPI — Highway patrolman H. C. Lloyd knew that the suit on the hitchhiker he picked up Thursday was brand new. It still had the price tags on it. So, Lloyd, who prides himself on his ability to spot lawbreakers, arrested Harry A. Cuck, 37, of a charge of grand larceny. Earlier, a burglar had broken the show window of a men’s store and stolen a suit and three

shirts.
