(UPD—Dr. Glenn W. Burton of
Tifton, Ga., an internatonally
known plant geneticist, has
urged laymen attending the
Southeastern Methodist Cofer
ence to become fully dedicated

only have full effect on the

becomes dedicated.

Gunman Pulls
Robbery At
State Capitol
By DON PHILLIPS
ATLANTA (UPD—A gunman
mistaken for “an attorney or
politician” robbed the state
treasurer’s office of $1,466 Fri
day while Gov. Lester Maddox,
whose office is nearby, was de
livering an out -of - town
speech denouncing lawlessness.
The robbery was pulled off ca
sually during the lunch hour.
Witnesses said the robber
strolled leisurely up the Capitol
steps, smiled and spoke to
workmen, then walked up two
flights of stairs to the office
used by state employes to cash
their paychecks.
“He just came In and gave
me a note,” said A. J. Con
yers, a cashier who was alone
in the office. "I saw the pistol
and knew what he wanted. I
didn’t feel like reading the
note."
Conyers said he emptied his
cash drawer, stuffing money in
a paper bag handed him by the
robber. The gunman then fled
from the office and disap
peared.
The holdup occurred about 100
feet from the office of Gov. Les
ter Maddox, who had just left
for Newnan where he denounced
lawlessness and racial violence
as Communist-inspired.
A workman perfomlng reno
vations on the state Senate
chambers, H. B. Bailey, said
the gunman walked up to him
before the robbery, smiled and
asked: “What are you build
ing?” Bailey said the robber
looked “distinguished. . . like
an attorney or politician.”
Acoustics of the new concert
hall in Montreal’s Place des
Arts are so pure that musicians
call it the “Cruel Hall,” says
the National Geographic.
