...before, forcible rape by 7%, robbery by 5% and aggravated assault by 3%. Crime of all types increased by 8% in U.S. suburbs. Perhaps the most revealing figure came from William F. Owens, an American Bankers Association insurance expert, who estimated that 850 bank holdups were staged last year v. 609 in 1932, the heisty heyday of the John Dillinger breed of gunman. Most bank jobs today, said Owens, are pulled by amateurs, who figure the bank is the place to go-with a gun-when they need cash "for medical bills, vacations, Christmas gifts, tuition payments" -even for payments...

Gimbels of Philadelphia, the first store to carry Batman T shirts, sold out its shipment of 360 in a day, ordered 2,400 more. Sales of all kinds of Batman merchandise would be still bigger except that manufacturers mistimed the impact, have fallen as far as six weeks behind in deliveries.
