Paris Bank Heist Nets Ten Million in Tunnel Dig
A six to eight man gang tunneled 25 feet from a sewer into the Societe Generale vault in Nice over a weekend and escaped with about 50 million francs in cash jewelry and securities. They plated up food on a stove and displayed cheesecake photos, leaving no alarm or guard on duty. The note read no shooting no violence. Authorities compare the haul to historic robberies and suspect a mining expert aided the operation.

Senate extends income tax cuts through 1977
The Senate voted 66 to 28 to extend current income tax cuts at least through 1977 and reject ending the $35 per person tax credit next June. The action blocks changes to deductions for state and local gasoline taxes and shifts focus to child care and retirement income provisions as the Finance Committee revises its tax bill, which must return to the House and meet a Sept. 1 withholding-rate deadline.
