Dirksen of Illinois accused McCarthy Friday of breaking an agreement among GOP members by releasing the memoranda in answer to the Army report. Not Told Of Changes Dirksen also said In an inter view the Republican members Friday had agreed to meet, go over the Army report paragraph by paragraph and have Cohn present, under oath. Dirksen said he was waiting for the meeting to begin when Sen.

Potter another sub committee member, called McCarthy and learned no meeting was to be held. McCarthy said later it was "an inexcusable oversight" on his part that he didn't let Dirksen know in advance of the release of the memoranda but he had "no choice" but to make them available. Dirksen said, without elaborat ing, that Republican members have a responsibility with regard to the committee's staff and "I do mean to meet it." "There will be no fooling about that the matter has gone far enough," he said. "Sen.

The policemen never fired a shot Friday morning as they were cut down by the three men who had just finished robbing the Greenwood Bank of $97,700 $90,800 of which they dropped in their get-away.

The bandits wore horn-rimmed spectacles and false noses which some bystanders first thought were part of a joke. An employe pressed a con cealed alarm bar with his foot and three policemen in one-man patrol cars responded their sirens screaming as they neared the bank. "George, somebody's sounded the alarm," one bandit shouted he ran toward the front lob by. Police Sgt. Howard Slessman, shotgun at his side, was running through the outer door.

The bandit fired and Slessman fell, bullet wound in his neck. As Slessman fell, Patrolman Frank W. Hardy, 30, arrived and jumped from his car. A second bandit fired through a window, hitting Hardy, in the head. He, dropped to the sidewalk, mortally wounded.

The third officer. Vernon IL Chase, arrived just as two of the gunmen broke through a side door. One fired quickly and Chase was down a few feet from Hardy, a bullet wound in the chest. The third kicked out a nlat glass window and Jumped through. He dropped a sack containing $90,800 as he fled.
