Great Selection In Styles and Colon in 1 were devastated as if by explosives or Pakistani army artillery. In Jessore, reporters saw the grave of a 59-year-old Italian priest reported to have been gunned down by Pakistani soldiers in his mission hospital complex. Four East Pakistanis, including a mother and 14-year-old boy, also were killed by the troops in the attack, residents said. According to an authenticated report, the Rev. Mario Veronesi, who had been here 18 walked out of the small mission house the morning of April 4 as two soldiers approached.

He was cut down by automatic fire as he raised his hands, it was reported. A fellow priest buried him nearby the following day, taking 6Vi hours because of gunfire whistling around him. A nun from the mission is reported to have left for the Vatican with the blood-soaked Red Cross badge the priest was wearing when he. was shot. The market area of Jessore looked bombed and burned out.

A number of houses and shops were said to have been razed both by Bengalis and the Pakistani army in taking over the town. A resident described what he called indiscriminate firing by the army seeking to dis- lodge the rebels who had controlled the town. JESSORE, East Pakistan (AP) Communal violence and military action to put down the rebellion in East Pakistan have wreaked death and devastation here and in Khulna, the province's second port and third city. In Khulna, reporters on an army-conducted tour saw today what a non-Bengali resident described as a human slaughterhouse. Sheds were said to have been used by East Pakistan's dominant Bengalis in mass killings of Bihari immigrants from India, West Pakistanis and other non-Bengalis during March and early April at the height of the secessionist uprising.

Reporters were shown a wooden frame with chains affixed on top where women and children reportedly were beheaded with knives. There was a form of gar- rotfe attached to a tree where, the resident said, victims choked to death. Cords attached to one tree were described as hanging nooses. Bodies were said to have been thrown over a low wall into the river running alongside. Long rows of shops and homes in the non-Bengali sector of Khulna were badly burned, apparently by Bengalis, but other sections, including solid brick buildings in the Bengali-dominated town MARK TAIMANOV 10-game match A beautiful way to be comfortable dress heels, medium heels and low heels in Summer's newest White -Beige Bone Blues Patent ond Mesh, etc.

Three smiling but deadly serious bandits escaped with $12,000 today from a railway workers' credit union at Broadway and Ontario. Customers and employees thought it was a joke when the men entered the and for CPR Express, Railroad and Subsidiaries Credit Union, 2520 Ontario, at 10:19 a.m. Then the trio produced weapons, bound the five employees with tape and -made them lie on the floor and forced manager L.

W. Wood to scoop out the contents of the open safe. They made their getaway in a green Fargo van, driven by a fourth man. Police believed the van had been rented earlier from a U-drive company three blocks away. Before the robbers left they tore out all but one of the office telephones.

The office is on the second floor of the building, and was the only premises in the building open today. Customer E. A. Bentley said he was walking along the hallway toward the office when the loading ramp door opened and three masked men entered. "One of them tapped me and he had a smile on his face, but the next guy was holding a revolver and I knew it was a holdup," he said.

He said the men took him into the office with them. Police said one man had a shotgun, another a Beretta pistol and the other a .22 pistol. They wore ski-toque masks and coveralls. Said manager Wood: "I thought it was a masquerade at first, but it became apparent this was the real thing." He said he thought the robbery took five to eight WIDMAN INDUSTRIES LIMITED ANNOUNCEMENT ,00 189l 21 619 Dunsmuir. 681-6811 (Between Granville Seymour) Open Fri.

Sgt.

Leo McHatton of Ever-, ett was reported in fair condition with bullet wounds in the leg and shoulder. Police said a "silent" alarm at the State Street Bank and Trust Company branch on Beacham Street, near the Everett-Chelsea town line, was triggered during the holdup, sending men from both departments to the scene. A Chelsea police cruiser with Swankowski and McHatton was first on the scene as three bandits came out the front door of the bank. Swankowski ran toward the three and was shot down at point-blank range. McHatton was wounded later.

An Everett police cruiser arrived, carrying Guarino and his partner, Sgt. Joesph Penta. The two men teamed up with McHatton and began chasing the bandits. Both sides exchanged about 30 shots and a bullet hit Guarino in the chest. Couple die in shoot-out MARIETTA, Ga.
