Bitter winds howled down from the Hima- layas over the northern states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar In "eleven days of ter- ror" the temperature reached freezing point, an all-time rec- ord low in semitropical New Delhi, while in the zoo, attend- ants pumped alcohol into ele- phants to ward off pneumonia. In many cities, bonfires built in the streets kept the thinly clad poor and homeless alive, Even so, many hundreds of schoolchildren c o 11 a p s ed in classrooms, and 800 personas died of the cold, Awed by the wintry blast, millions of Hindus turned to their holy men for an explana- tion and were promptly warned of more trouble throughout Jan- uary and, thereafter, a world- wide natural calamity between 5:43 p.m. on Feb. 3 and 6:24 p.m, on Feb. 4 During those hours there will be a solar eclipse (not visible in North America and Europe) while eight planets are meeting under the astrological sign of Capricorn, This combina- tions is known as Mahe. Koot Yoga and — even without the eclipse—is considered most in- auspicious, Hopeful of forestalling a cat- astrophe in early 1982, His Holi- ness Shri Jagsdguru Vidyaman- ya Teerath, a high Hindu priest, convened a yajna (a deeply de- vout period of sacrifices and prayers) on the banks of the holy river Janina, 6 miles from New Delhi. He had invited 1,000 pandits (learned ones) of the Brahman caste, Sitting cross- legged before pit -fires, the holy men fed the flames with logs, in- cense, ghee, and flowers. Rising at 4:30 a.m., they bathed in the icy river and had their first meal at 3 in the afternoon. Every Brahman recited prayers 108 times a day and burned cam- phor in the fires 108 times a day. Four hundred priests re- cited more than 10 million verses of Vedic lore and one group of 70 recited all of the hymns in the ten -volume Rig Veda.. For this the holy men were forgiven their sins for 100 gen- erations to come. But what about that threatened disaster due in February? The pandit's leader offered hope. After prolonged study, it ,had been concluded that such aus- picious planets as Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury would not be quite close enough to collide with the malefic influence of that old devil Mars. A little closer though, and — poofl EXECUTIVE — A person who can take two hours for lunch without anybody missing him, TORNADIC PILEDRIVER — These rafters from a wrecked building were driven four feet Into the ground by a tornado striking Berwick, Po.

Checking Up On Bank Robberies The Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation has been playing "cops and' robbers" with bank bardits all over the United States, Tho increase in bank rob- beries, particularly in suburban areas, has had the FBI on the armed run for the past year. The Bureau has just conclud- ed a series of law enforcement conferences t h r o u g h o u t the country devoted to this one problem. Two recent local bank rob- beries serve as illustrations. In one, two armed bandits, one wearing a false rubber nose, held up a savings and loan as- sociation, escaping with some $8,000. "This is a holdup," they warn- ed employees, as one of the banditsleapedover the gate to the teller's counter, scooping up money from the open safe and from the counters. The other robbery, in a small town in nearby Maryland, was carried out by one gunman who carried a revolver, wore a stock- ing cap mask, a coat with' large pockets and spoke in a bass voice. He made his getaway with some $10,000. The two robberies occurred within 25 minutes of each other. This new wave of bank rob- beries is due, in part,, according to authorities at the FBI, to a trend of the times — a trend toward more branch banks and more savings and loan 'associa- tions in the outlying areas. These institutions have follow- ed the shopping centers. Many are located in them. They are smaller, located in areas where traffic is less congested, wnere a getaway is easier and in build- ings which are less fortress -like than the mid -city bank. Many of today's bank bandits are "amateurs" the FBI finds. Time was when one of the best clues to the identity of a pro- fessional bank robber "was his particular method of operation," FBI Director, J. Edgar Horver' said. For instance, in the 1930's, there was a group of gangs operating in the Midwest, They were often identified by their special method of separating cash from the bank. Some wore a certain type of mask, carried a special type of sacks for the money, always stole cars for the getaway and sometimes scatter- ed nails along their trail. Others were "trade -marked" by the particular way in which they leaped over the counter Some gangs were known for the time of day when they carried WHAT'S D,oIN'—Totin' authentic pistols, these Houston Colt 45s, National League baseball dub officials hold a unique groundbreaking ceremony They pump the ground full of lead to officially launch construction on a stadium. out the robbery, often at noun - time when many of the em- ployees were at lunch. There are some identifying signs today, but not as many, mainly, FBI authorities explain, because of the entry of the ama- teur. But with some of these the signature is becoming clear- er as the bandit finds one ap- proach successful and uses it again. The amateur is marked by what is known •as the "demand - note" type of robbery. This oc- curs when the robber quietly passes a note to the teller stat- ing the bandit has a gun in his pocket and demands that the teller turn over the money quietly. If the operation is pulled off the robbery may occur so quick- ly the teller at the next counter may be completely unaware of what has taken place, writes Jo- sephine.Ripley in the Christian Science Monitor, Despite the record number of 895 federal crimes against bank- ing ' institutions in fiscal 1961, bank robbery is still one of the poorest paying jobs in the world, says Mr. Hoover. A recent survey by the FBI of bank robberies showed that out of 125• typical cases only eight robberies netted more than $10,000, while in 30 cases the bandits obtained no loot at all. One way in which the, FBI is working to curb this new out- break of crime is through edu- cating bank employees in me- thods of detection. This has been done in many instanefis- by hav- ing someone impersonate a would-be robber by loitering in the lobby, acting in a suspicious manner, getting change at a teller's rage, having a paper no- tarized, or making inquiry about a loan. Bank employees are later quizzed on the incident, asked to describe the man. There are demonstrations to illustrate the technique of the "note bandit." The FBI often springs a surprise "gimmick" by having a telephone call put through to the teller as the scene is being enacted, with the voice at the other end saying: "While you are answering the phone, my confederate has ta- ken everything in reach from• your cage." The voice was that of a po- liceman, but the method is fre- quently that of the sneak thief in diverting the attention of the teller while he gathers in reach- able cash. The most important thing for bank employees and any by- standers to do in such an emer- gency, according to the FBI. is to record in memory as many details as possible, particularly the height of the robber, his probable age, his clothing and mannerisms. In almost all the tests con- ducted witnesses tended to un- derestimate the "bandit's" height and to overestimate his age. Rad or Dead? Sups Who?

First, let's face up to the fact that if we don't have to admire them we do have to live with them. Sensible men will make this situ- ation as satisfactory as possible. Let us look to our strength, both material and spiritual, with confidence and maturity. Let us welcome competition with the Communist bloc with a whole heart, assured if we're the better men we think we are, we'll win. For make no mistake about it: in nuclear war neither we nor the Russians would win. , . . Let's get off the defensive, and concentrate on living rather than planning for death. We are a young and powerful nation. Thanks to enlightened people in our society we're still free, And in matters of revolution, we're still way out ahead.—Winchester (Mass.) Star. How Can 1?
