The mayor obligingly signed his name to sheets of folded papers, and chalked it all up to enthusiasm generated by the impending visit of the Democratic presidential candidate. But he didn't have to wait too long to get the answer. As Stevenson arrived, the youngsters unfolded the papers and waved papers stating "I Like Ike" over Mayor Fitzpatrick's signature.

Escapees Linked With Two Holdups Trio Figured in Theft Of Guns and $12,600 From Bank in Bronx NEW YORK, Sept.

19 UP) Three rampaging federal prison escapees today were linked to the brazen holdups this week of a private arsenal and a bank in the Bronx. For a time police thought they might have them trapped in a northern Illinois cornfield. But it turned out to be three other men, who fled their ditched car near Dixon, when officers stopped for a routine investigation of the accident. However, at about the same time, one of the men was reported seen Pittsburgh by a shoe store proprietor. The widening search for the trio was heightened after the men were identified by Bronx bank employes.

The three convicts apparently now are well-heeled with $12,600 of the bank's cash, and heavily armed wltrhc.atJ!.east 8 d-ozen McDonald issued bench warrants the arrest of the three-Joseph Wayne Nolan, 26, his brother, Bal lard, 20, both of Whitely County, and Elmer Schuer, 21, of Chicago.

of $12,600. They fled in a convertible car Witnesses thought a third man was at the wheel. Police said the bank bandits act ed like "strictly amateurs who took chance and got away with it. However, all three fugitives have records as bank robbers. It was the first bank holdup in the Bronx in 20 years.

Bank employes identified the convicts from FBI circulars bearing their pictures. And one bank employe recalled that one of the men brandished a long-barreled, silver-plated automatic. This fitted the description of a gun stolen Monday from a Bronx gunshop, a veritable arsenal of weapons on sale to police. Two men looted the gunshop of dozen revolvers and automatics, with ammunition, then commandeered a doctor and his car. They forced the physician at gunpoint to take them from the Bronx to Manhattan where they disappeared into a subway entrance.

The Nolans, convicted bank rob bers, went to prison two years ago for terms of 25 years each. Schuer ioined them a few months later un der sentence of 13 years for bank! robbery and auto theft. They scaled the wall at Lewisburg, Sept. 10, then zig-zagged across eastern Pennsylvania to elude pursuit. They took turns sleeping while they held the Hills captive in their home eight miles from Philadelphia.

Riley 2nd Passion Pilgrim Gospeleer Gilbert Atkins 3rd Passion Pilgrim Gospeleer Albert Minns Well, the town certainly had plenty of entertainment to choose from last night. While Gov. Adlal Stevenson opened the season on Presidential nominees, the theater season was being launched with a brace of productions for the first time in local history. At the Allyn, now long consecrated to movies, "Finian's Rainbow" was arched by a hardworking cast of young people.

It would be nice to report that the musical provided for1 them by Messrs Harburg, Saidy and Lane kfIi all tkaii anarmr an4 irw rZ Wj- a' but it would not be correct. For "Finian's Rainbow," though it may have had a pot of gold at its end for its producers, has only a potpourri of trite humors for the customers. Mr. Harburg and Mr. Saidy, who wrote the book, are trying to juggle two sets of humors.

They are aiming darts at the more weevilly side of social conditions in the South, and they are whip- ping up an emerald-green froth about the Irish unlucky enough to find their way down there. There is no reason why this pousse-cafe of red, white, blue and green shouldn't make a zestful tipple no reason at all except that Mr Harburg and Mr. Saidy just didn't turn out to be the folks to do it. Falls Between Two Stools The difficulty is that in hopping about, now to social significance, now to whimsies about the authors have not managed to light on either subject longi enough to squeeze a full measure, or a fresh measure of humors from them. Instead, they have- brought together a hasty." compilation of all the old wheezes about clothheaded senators.

Civil War customs below the Mason-Dixon Line, Sears and Roebuck, Irish whisky, loquacious old tads, flirty young coleens and union organizers, that have been doing duty for years, and have trusted that the norns and elves would transmute thgm into gold. At the box office, they may have. But in the directions of "genuine theater wit. flair or style, they have not. "Finian's Rainbow" is a faded promise of fun.

at best. Mr. Harburg's lyrics, cannot be accounted any great shakes, either, so complicated is his striving after originality. Many of them, even though clearly enunciated, were quite unintelligible to this third row ticketholder. On the other hand.

Burton Lane has supplied some pleasant music, sweetly melodic and ably arranged, all across the show. Despite the 1eck-box popularity Morra," there are no real hit tunes. But the score as a whole is neatly and agreeably fashioned. Zest Is What They Got Michael Kidd's Choreography, or at least the present version is' entirely nondescript. On the other hand, last night's company danced It with zest, as a matter of fact, was the major contribution of the entire cast.

Mary Anne Cohan, as the colleen, and Norris Brannstrom, as the beau Southern style, were aimable enough, though Mr. Brannstrom was considerably bet ter a singer. P. J. Kelly, as the Irishman with a gush of gab like me now or tne Shannon, is certain- ly the cast's most amusing resi- dent and ablest actor.

Jerrv Har- vey is a pleasant droll as Og the Leprechaun, curiously gifted with an especially eloquent pair of hands. Bemiece Hall really conquered the house with her singing of "Necessity," well styled and clarion-sung. Richard Snider and Eddie Bruce, as senator and henchman, worked hard in thankless roles. This was the Allyn Theater's first fling at musicals. Some 1,540 of its 2,000 seats were tenanted last night.

It is a good house to see in, though as this spectator stood at the back rail during the second act, the acoustics were not too good. The audience was enthusiastic enough, both with their purses and applause, to warrant another try at bringing in musicals, this deponent would think. We can certainly statfd them! commercial situatlons But there is no suggestion of a six-nation foreign office, or things nice mat, as yet. Whether it would be of value to the world for the idea of European federation to go beyond this is a matter for speculation, and for de termination in a future which can- not now be clearly seen.

On Income Tax Evasion Charge DALLAS, Sept. 19 Wl E. Bass Clay, 60, a rancher, came to trial today in Federal Court on a charge of income tax evasion.

U. S. Dist. Atty. Frank Potter said Clay's net worth in 1949 was $400,000 and that he owned 13,000 acres of land near Pampa, and another ranch in New Mexico.

Clay's defense attorney said his client was worth only $150,000 now because of the drought, that his 900 head of cattle were mortgaged to a bank, that all his assets were tied up, and that Clay had only $465 in the bank. He requested leniency. Federal Judge T. Whitfield Davidson made no mention of back taxes, but ordered a $10,000 fine and a six months sentence to be probated for a year providing Clay would pay the fine. Clay's attorney asked to have until Monday to pay the fine.

Whereupon Clay himself jumped to his feet to say, "Shucks, that all right judge, I'll pay the fine right now." And Clay pulled the bills from his brown leather billfold and counted out $10,000 while the judge watched in silence.
