Long Criminal Record Kept From Wife
Los Angeles FBI arrest of Alex Richard Bryant, 47, once among the ten most wanted, ends a decades long criminal career. He lived under the alias Edward F. Lawson with his wife Gladys, unaware of his status until his arrest at a Los Angeles trucking company where he worked as a spotter. Bryant, who fled from Michigan in 1952 after a life sentence for armed robbery, had a long history of prison time and a 1929 string of armed robberies in Grand Rapids. He remained unarmed and offered no resistance. He was lodged in the Los Angeles County Jail after arrest by federal agents.

Martin Urges Broad Excise Tax Cuts in Congress
House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr proposes lowering all excise taxes above 10 percent to that level. The plan would cut revenue by about 942 million dollars annually but may be offset by boosted sales and employment. The proposal would affect items taxed at 20 and 15 percent including furs jewelry cosmetics luggage and local calls. Long distance calls at 25 percent would also drop to 10 percent. Rep Richard Simpson supports similar action.
