Police in six red cars searched the neighborhood and brought a score of suspects to the 39th st. and Lancaster ave. station.

However, none could be identified as participating in the robbery. All were released after questioning. ASK ABOUT APARTMENTS Bernard J. Imber. 45, of Summit lane, Bala, told Detective William Blank, of the West CID, that the two youths entered his office at 3952 Girard ave.

a few minutes be fore the 5 P. M. closing hour. They inquired about apartments. Imber said he gave them some information on available apartments.

They told him they wanted to discuss it with their mother and would return shortly." About 10 minutes later, Imber said, the pair returned. After as certaining that Imber was alone, both drew revolvers. Imber said he was ordered into a rear room. One of the thugs stood guard over him, Imber said, while the other went to the front office and began ran sacking the drawers of the desks. SEARCH FRUITLESS The bandit in the front office re turned and announced he could find nothing.

He demanded that Imber show him where the cash was hidden. Imber told police he showed the holdup men where he kept the cash drawer. One of the bandits took $394 from it. Then both demanded he hand over his wallet, which he said contained $5 or $6. The robbers warned Imber to re main in the room for 10 minutes.

Shahan, treasurer. First prize In the association's essay contest was awarded at the meeting to Joan Lewis, of 2319 Delancey st. The theme for the 1954 contest was "The Place of an Employe Publication in an Industrial Communications Program." mechanic, INVITATION TO SPEED "When we daily see, hear and read about the accidents which are taking such a toll of life and limb throughout Pennsylvania and other States," said Justice BeU, "it seems obvious that the court's forgiveness of 90-mile-speed violations is an invitation or encouragement of speeding, the inevitable result of which will be a multiplication of accidents and deaths." Strobel, who appealed the suspension of his license first to the county court and then to the Su preme Court, argued that he was testing the car for its owner after the latter told him that it shimmied at 70 miles an hour. He was clocked on Route 422, a three-lane highway, at 70 to 90 miles an hour through light traffic. CAN KILL AS EASILY "A tester who drives 90 miles an hour can kill people just as easily as any other operator who drives 90 miles an hour," Justice Bell continued in his opinion.

"What Is the use of the daily pleas and warnings by municipal, State and Federal authorities, and by newspapers and radios, to drive carefully and obey the speed laws? "What is the use of all the hue and cry about the scores of thousands who are injured or killed on our highways by reckless driving and speeding, if the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is going to let off a man who drives 55 miles per hour through a 35-mile-per hour speed zone, and then wilfully and flagrantly violates our speed laws by driving through traffic at 70 to 90 miles per hour?" the Justice asked. "I just cannot understand such a viewpoint." A majority opinion of the high tribunal sent the Strobel case back to the Butler county court earlier this week with instructions for a new trial, on the ground that the trial judge made no findings of fact.

Rayfield Ruffin, 26, fomrely of 60th st.

near Callowhill, remained silent during a brief hearing before Magistrate Charles Gorman in Norristown as Deputy Warden D. M. Myers outlined the charges. ON WAY TO MESS HALL The attack, Myers said, occurred last. Friday night while Ruffin and his victim, Frank Armstrong, and 383 other convicts quartered in Cell Block of the institution to Montgomery county were being marched to the dining hall.

Without warning, Ruffin stepped out of line and plunged a dagger like sliver of steel into Armstrong's back. Then, while other inmates shouted and ran to the stabbing scene, Ruffin walked calmly to a guard and handed over his weapon. Fearing the attack might be the outbreak of a long-simmering war between rival factions at the institution, Warden Charles G. Day ordered a "shakedown" to determine whether other convicts were armed with similar weapons. The search was fruitless.

Ruffin was in Graterford on a one-to-five year term for a high way holdup when his victim, Leon ard C. Wright, 59, of 413 N. Edge-wood died of head injuries in flicted during the robbery. PLEADED GUILTY Ruffin was brought from the prison for the murder trial two months ago. He pleaded guilty to the murder charge and was resentenced to a life term.

The fatal holdup occurred Feb. 21, 1953, near Wright's home. The loot consisted of the victim's $30 wristwatch. Armstrong was sentenced to 20 to 40 years on burglary charges in 1947 by the late Judge Harry S. McDevitt after pleading guilty to being a leader of one of the largest rings of thieves ever to operate in this city.

The 23 gang members were accused of taking part in 269 burglaries over a five-year period. Their loot totaled $127,000 in cash and $109,000 in goods. qualified for the finals of the Marbles Tournament yesterday 5 Sent to Prison For Defrauding U.S. on School Five men were given prison terms yesterday by Chief Judge William H.
