(#—Three bandits robbed the Andrews Air Force Base branch bank of $160,- 000 today, and police said a man they had arrested on a speeding charge was new considered a sus- pect. - The gunmen who cleaned oui ise vault of the bank were Negroes. Detective Sgt. Charles L. Perrygo arrested three Negroes after an 80-mile per hour chase shortly aft- er the bank was robbed. > Perrygo didn’t know when he made his Friday the 13th arrest that the bank-had~been robbed. He said the driver offered him a $20 bribe, saying he was “in a hurry.” Perrygo took all three to the Prince Georges county police sta- tion, but the other two men fled each passenger who landed and took off, plus rent for space used at the field by the lines’ offices. Wilde based his figures on the number of passengers handled here by NAL in the last quarter of 1953, which showed an average of 7.2 passenger per landing and take-! off. Figured on the basis of 7.2 Ppas- sengers, Wilde said the NAL would have paid $2,214 for the quarter. Under the proposed rate, based on 40 cents for each 1,000 pounds of plane weight, the line would have paid $1,998 for that quarter. Hardy asked Wilde to send him a memo of understanding, outlin- ing the proposed rate structure and the proposed improvement at the field. Wilde agreed to do so, saying he would have the memo to Hardy by Monday.
