London Bank Robbery Foiled by Radio Tips
A London bank vault was being tunneled into with an estimated haul up to 2.4 million dollars. Police delayed acting after a tip from Robert Rowlands, who overheard thieves on a shortwave radio, and it took 34 hours for the crime to be discovered. The bank at 185 Baker Street was found with a 40-foot tunnel and a shattered vault, prompting an urgent police inquiry into handling of the case.

Supreme Court to decide reporter's privilege on Congress role
The UPI report notes that the Gryswold administration urged the Supreme Court to affirm lower rulings forcing reporters to testify before grand juries, arguing that any broader privilege should be defined by Congress rather than the judiciary, with cases involving Pappas Branzburg and Cauldwell cited. The brief emphasizes that the only constitutional privilege is against self incrimination and that legislative action is needed to shape any reporter protection.
