Minor As Ambulance Driver Nixed MICHALSKE The Texas Attorney office has settled Waco's dispute over persons under 21 years of age driving ambulances here. The attorney general ruled that World War II is over and therefore an emergency measure passed to allow minors above 17 years of age to obtain licenses for the operation of public vehicles, is now void.

In 1943. the 48th Legislature adopted an emergency amendment to the License Law which provided that the Public Safety Department could issue licenses to persons 17 of age and over for the operation of school buses and public and common carriers. The measure, as passed, was effective the conclusion of the present war with Germany, Italy, and Japan and was enacted to permit schools, taxi and bus companies to employ drivers of motor vehicle equipment who were under the age of 21 in the absence of older employes in the armed services. The Waco Citizens Traffic Commission recently discussed the of minors driving ambu- ances in this city and recommended to the city manager that no one under the age of 21 be given an ambulance permit, required by the new ordinance regulating operation of ambulances. Effect of the attorney ruling reestablishes the previous legal standards that private fers must be 16 years of age and over but that it is illegal for persons under 21 to operate school buses, public or common of persons, which category includes ambulances.

McLennan County and Waco law enforcement bodies have been alerted and are on the lookout for the bandits in Waco. The bandits grabbed between $10,000 and $20,000 and vanished up a carefully planned getaway trail. R. R.

Wiley, bank president, refused to say how much cash the men got. Anderson County Sheriff Roy Herrington said he heard they scooped $20.000 out of the vault. The Palestine Herald Press said the amount was around $10,000 The robbery worked with precision smoothness as the two masked, armed men forced three bank employes to lie on the floor.

Officers believed the men headed toward Dallas or Waco.

One bandit was fair, the other swarthy. The swarthy bandit had adhesive plastered on his face and spoke in broken English. At Dallas, Detective Captain Will Fritz checked the similarity of the robbery with the one in which four masked men robbed the Borden Milk Company of $10,000 Monday.

Board Vetoes All Affiliate Bank Setups The State Banking Board In Austin Wednesday ruled that Texas law forbids the operation of branch banks under the control of parent banks and ordered that all present affiliate banks be divested of such control. The ruling mentioned two affiliated banks, Community State Bank, affiliated with Citizens National Bank, and Bellmead State Bank, affiliated with First National Bank.

In reversing its previous stand on affiliated banks, the State Banking Board held that four such banking groups in Dallas also are in violation of constitutional and sta tory regulations. The board is composed of Banking Commissioner J. M. Faulkner, Attorney General Price Daniel and Treasurer Jesse James.

17 The government Wednesday, in creased steel allotments for automobile makers and other civilian goods manufacturers to 70 per cent of pre-Korea levels in the second quarter of next year. The allotments were the largest since the government began rationing scarce materials to industry soon after the start of the Korean war to make sure there were adequate supplies for defense. Copper and aluminum allotments were held to about half of pre-Korea levels because of a continuing copper shortage and aluminum production losses in drouth areas where power is short. The Defense Production Administration said the new allocations will enable the auto industry to turn out 1,250.000 cars next April, May and June, compared with about 700.000 in January, February and March. SHOPPING DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS! Auto makers have been authorized to stretch their second quarter production to 1.5 million cars if they can obtain enough foreign and higher-priced conversion steel to supplement their regular allocations.

Because of last strike steel allocations for the first quarter of 1953 originally were set as low as 33 per cent of pre-Korea levels for less essential civilian goods, including radio and television sets and other durables. These allocations, the smallest of the defense program, have been raised somewhat since then. DPA said second quarter civilian copper allotments will be held to 50 per cent of the pre-Korea levels and aluminum to 55 per cent.
