The Dillinger law, praised as a powerful weapon against bank robbers and a windfall for counties, has been employed twice in Pennsylvania since May 18. It shifts prosecution to federal courts, with a maximum 45 year sentence for robbing a bank with a gun, compared to 20 years under state law. The first use came in Westmoreland County after acquittals on federal charges. The second involved arrests in Steelton of Jet Kral and Anthony Rays, and John Fedoria of Gresson, for robbing the Pairfield National Bank of 3700 dollars.

Federal Reserve to centralize research in Washington
Washington learns that all statistical and economic research of the Federal Reserve system will be transferred to the Board in Washington. The plan will end regional reporting and create up to date, board interpreted data within about a year, signaling expanded central power over U S economic monitoring. The move will keep the board independent from the federal government and will issue periodic reports based on nationwide data.
