Cape Cod Mail Robbery Reward Raised to 50000
Postmaster General J Edward Day told a House panel he has increased the Cape Cod mail robbery reward to 50000 dollars and ordered the entire appropriated amount posted for the case. He noted a prior 2000 dollar reward and cited misinterpretations of state police coverage as a factor. He added postal workers had previously run currencies from banks on the same route, believing police cruisers would monitor them, though checks showed no cruisers along the route at any time.

Politicians Watch Economic Figures in Campaign Talks
Washington voters face conflicting Democratic and Republican readings of September business barometer data. Democrats trumpet prosperity while noting Kennedy’s caveat that growth remains slow. Republicans claim the economy lags population and Western Europe. The divide persists as Kennedy and Eisenhower campaign in October, with party leaders staging rallies and TV remarks to shape voter sentiment. Sen Clair Engle and party figures push the prosperity narrative, while Sen John J Williams warns of ongoing recession risks if policy slows further.
