and the First National City Bank. Another bomb was found in the First National Bank in Chicago. It would have made an effective bomb," said Police Capt. Kenneth O'Neill after the bomb was removed from the Marine Midland branch at 140 Broadway in New York. Robert Daly, New York's deputy police commissioner, said all three bombs found in that city were active and would have killed anybody in the bank vaults.

Each bomb was composed of a clock and battery re-charger with a half-pound of smokeless black powder wrapped in a thin layer of styrofoam. THREATS, Page 4 Associated Press Police found bombs Friday in banks in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco hours after some news media received anonymous warnings that bombs had been planted in safe-deposit boxes months ago as the first step of a plot to free "political prisoners." Bombs were located in eight of the nine banks. A mysterious explosion last fall apparently accounted for the ninth bomb. At the Bank of America in San Francisco, a spokesman said an explosion occurred there last September in the safe-deposit box listed in the warnings. The spokesman described damage as minor, adding there were no injuries.

San Francisco police said electrically-timed explosive devices found today in safe-deposit boxes at Crocker Citizens National Bank and Wells Fargo Bank matched descriptions of bombs located and deactivated in the two other cities. Letters were reported received by the Chicago Daily News, the Chicago to Long Island Reuter SYOSSET, N.Y. This middle-income Long Island suburban community is like most of the others that surround New York, but many people in Syosset, by playing their cards right, no longer have a need for money not the cash or check variety, anyway. The cards are Hempstead Bank's Instant Transaction Cards and they differ from ordinary credit cards in that, when they are used, funds transfer immediately at the point of sale from the customer account into a merchants account. The person getting a card must pick it up at the bank in person.

The plastic, wallet-size card contains a three-digit number known only to the consumer and the bank's computer. When a purchase is made, the consumer inserts the card into a terminal connected to the computer by regular telephone lines. The computer reads the card and then transfers money from the corresponding account into the merchant's account. According to the Hempstead Bank, their system has created a great deal of interest in the banking world. Since the system was put into effect, bankers from around the United States and as far away as Japan and France have visited the bank's Long Island headquarters to study the plan.

The "pilot project involves some 1000 residents and 35 retail merchants in Syosset and has been judged a success by the bankers and the merchants and consumers as well. Ralph Haydan, controller of King Kullen Supermarkets, the Syosset branch of which is equipped with instant transaction, said: "We don't see any problem. We like it and the customers seem to like it." "As you know," Hayden said, "Supermarkets cash just about more checks than banks and one reason we like this system is that it eliminates bad check losses." He said King Kullen, with 43 stores on Long Island doing $125 million in sales each year, would "be very happy to put it in all our branches."

Lane Dwinell of Lebanon, who headed a drive to place Mr. Nixon's name on the March 7 primary ballot. Recalling his last New Hampshire campaign, President Nixon said he had tried to be true to the trust placed in him and to bring "peace and progress abroad and at home and to give America the leadership it needs for a new era of national greatness."

"I feel it is essential, particularly in this year when events of such im- economy improves to the point that joblessness falls to 4 percent. Most economic experts have expressed extreme doubt the rate can be reduced to that level.

Unemployment has hovered around 6 percent since November 1970. It ranged from the 6.2 percent levels in two months down to 5.6 percent last June, but has been at least 6 percent or more in nine out of the last 14 months.

November marked the first time US employment had ever reached 80 millon. The 6.1 percent jobless rate for December was described by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics as "essentially unchanged" and "not appreciably different" from November when it was 0.1 percent less.
