N. Y. Bank Robbed
By Acid-Toting
Little Old Woman
NEW YORK, UPi — The FBI
has a printed note, and a slight,
gray-haired little woman has
about $3,000 in bills belonging to
a branch of the First National
City Bank.
The bank is at 34th St. and 7th
Ave., across the street from
Macy’s Department Store.
The woman, about 5 feet 2, en
tered the crowded bank Wednes
day and patiently stood in line
at a teller’s cage. When it came
her turn she silently handed
Louise Basile, 25, a paper bag and
a printed note.
The note read: “I have acid in
a glass and if you don’t give me
what I want I’ll splash it on you.
Put all your 5s, 10s and 20s in the
bag. There are two men guarding
with guns. Somebody will get
shot. Hurry!”
In a thin, unwavering hand the
woman held a six-ounce glass
containing colorless liquid.
The teller stuffed the bag with
bills. The woman accepted the
ba'f and walked slowly to the
exit on 7th Avenue. She still car
ried the glass of liquid.
Basile stepped on the alarm,
and three guards drew guns as
bedlam broke out.
Basile could only point to the
door.
HOPE DIAMOND
OUT OF CIRCULATION
The famous Hope Diamond,
long fhs envy of kings, princes
and millionaire socialites, is now
out of circulation and is the prop
erty of the Smithsonian Institute,
resting in a vault of that institu
tion in Washington, D. C., and in
sured for $1,000,000.
Of lesser value, but of greater
historical significance to Alaskans,
is the rare, priceless gold nugget
which will be given away at the
Roof Garden December 13th.
Don't despair, this might be
your lucky year. Attend the Roof
Garden. Remember how fortune
smiled on that young man who
was awarded the Gold Nugget last
year. He is now very happily
married.

Bridges Charges Fear of
Seating Non-Caucasians
Delays Hawaii Statehood
SAN FRANCISCO, UP — There
are no arguments left for oppo
nents of Hawaiian Statehood “ex
cept their fear of seeing one or
two non-Caucasians sitting in the
U. S. Senate.” says Harry Bridges,
Longshore Union president.
In a policy statement yesterday,
the executive committee of the
International Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union said the
addition of non-Caucasians to the
Senate “would be beneficial to the
Senate and to the United States
as a whole.”
The committee completed a
two-day meeting today at which
it declared its views on a num
ber of opinions.
In urging immediate Statehod
for Hawaii, the group commented:
“Alaska is already anticipating
increased business and expanded
shipping as a result of winning
Statehood earlier this year. And,
at this end, there are trade gains
looming up for Seattle and Port
land. We want an end to second
class citizenship for the people of
Hawaii so they, too, can begin to
share in the benefits of State
hood.”
Kettering Estate
Estimated at $200 Millions
DAYTON, Ohio, UP — The late
Charles F. Kettering, automotive
genius and former General Motors
research head, left an estate con
servatively estimated at a little
more than 200 million dollars.
Most of this huge fortune, in
the form of shares of C. F. Ket
tering Inc., was divided between
the Kettering Foundation and a
separate philanthropic trust. De
tails of the division were not dis
closed in the will filed yesterday.
The exact size of the estate
will not be known until an inven
tory is taken.
