An armed bank robber held up the Schuylkill Haven Trust Co. branch office on Route 61 yesterday morning and escaped with approximately $7,000. According to the FBI and Trooper James McCann of the Pennsylvania State Police, the holdup man was a white male about 40 years of age, had dirty blond hair with sideburns down to his jaw, was about 5 feet 8 inches in height, weighed 155 to 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark blue jacket, a pale yellow or green sport shirt and dark trousers. He wore a Band Aid above the right eye and two down along the right side of his face.

He entered the lobby and walked to the teller window served by Mrs. Lee Llewellyn, Pine Grove RD2. He produced a pistol and demanded that Mrs. Llewellyn take the money from the drawer and put it into a green plastic bag. She complied.

The holdup man is believed to have left in a medium blue 1972 Chevrolet automobile with horizontal rubber strips on the bumper. The direction of the getaway is now known. Lewis Hummel, manager of the Route 61 branch, left the main banking area at 11 a.m. and went to a back room. In departing from the back door, he almost walked into the car believed to be the one used by the bank robber.

It was parked directly in front of the door, alongside his car. Hummel left without knowing that the robbery was in progress. Time of the holdup was set at 11:05. When the alarm was sounded, Acting Sch. Haven Police Chief William Goetz, State Police and the FBI came to the scene.

The bank lobby was closed while they checked for clues, but driveup and walkup business was continued. Anyone having information about the bank robber or the getaway car is asked to contact the local barracks of the State Police, phone 385-3160, or the Allentown office of the FBI, phone 215-433-6488.

As a result, hundreds of convicted murderers and rapists who have been waiting out appeals, will have their lives spared. For years the argument has raged over the effectiveness of the death penalty, both as a punishment for the convicted and a deterrent for major crimes. We can't argue that the death penalty is cruel and perhaps inhuman, but we do take issue with those who quote statistics to prove that the death penalty is not a deterrent. Who can argue that the death penalty was not the cause for a drastic drop in kidnapping cases? Or who will deny that if the death penalty were imposed upon the skyjacker, it would not bring to an almost complete halt the present popular holdup practice? Or in time of war that the death penalty for traitors has held many to the patriotic line? The Supreme Court decision did not cover all cases of death penalties, but with many of them voided, it's not likely that juries and judges will be inflicting that penalty, even for the most heinous of crimes. So, we are becoming more humane with our treatment of criminals.

Now, what are we going to do about the death we are inflicting upon innocent man, woman and children in Viet Nam? Are their lives less valuable than those of murderers and rapists? And can we in good conscience continue to send our young men into battle where many of them are certain to lose their lives and others to be maimed for life? The Almighty Dollar The farmer who found the skyjack money and returned it to the airlines which made the payment turned down a reward offer of $10,000. He said he should get $25,000. Is he fny better than the original skyjacker? Bobby Fischer delayed the world championship chess tournament with Boris Spassky because he was holding out for more money. The money is more important than the title. A patient of a psychiatrist gets court award of $170,000 for the unusual treatment she received.
