The sack was nearly brim- fer officiating. Interment will be ming over with paper bills, but hi Sylvan Heights Cemetery, the bandit walked out of the bank slowly. "If someone had bumped into him the bills would have spilled all over," Boelker said. None of the other bank em- ployes was aware of the holdup. The "commuter bandit" has been so dubbed by police because they believe he travels into the city from an outlying suburb to stage his robberies.

He uses a stolen car as did Monday's bandit--and shoves a gun, a note and paper bag to the teller. City police said their was a JOHN ZUNICH John Zunich, 79, of Irwin, R. D. 3, Herminie No. 2, died in Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh.

He said that government studies indicated about 2 million women "were at risk during this period of time." Masland added thai, "if these figures are correct, there will be thousands of defective i babies in the United States from this one epidemic." "Since many of these women have not delivered yet." he said, "the full impact of this has not hit the country. But this is a major tragedy." Masland said the epidemic was expected to strike the West Coast and Hawaii this summer but the Public Health Service was taking steps to combat it.
