MELBOURNE - Four Royal

jets crashed near East Sale-Air
Force Base, 134 miles from Melbourne, Wednesday. The six
pilots aboard were killed.
The men were members of an
aerobatics team known as Red
Sales and were rehearsing toi-
mation flying for an air force
week in September.
An' air force spokesman said
the planes ■ crashed "apparently
still in formation."
Two were being flovn solo
and other two carried an extra'
pilot as passenger.
An inquiry is being held.
The formation was • regarded
as one of the best acrobatic
teams ever produced by the
AAF.
The planes were believed lo

miles south, of the base when

The room was hot and Popovich said "my word, in space

Popovich said "the main result of our flight is that everything ended well and that the

{Bandits Rob Mail Truck Of $1500;
RANDOLPH, Mass. (AP)-An
ight-man bandit gang armed
vith machine ,- guns looted a
United States mail truck Tuesday night and escaped with
$l,500,000-the biggest cash robbery in the U.S.
The haul surpassed the $1,
219,000 Brink's robbery in Boston in 1950.
Tlie Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston, to which the mail truck
money was consigned from'
Cape Cod banks, reported the
amount taken.
The Federal- Reserve made,it I
clear the money was its responsibility and.that the Cape Cod
member banks would stand jio
losses "on shipments made in
compliance with applicable
rules."
The holdup team, well rehearsed and acting with precision and speed, was spearheaded by a man in police urn-
form, it was hc who caught the
two men on the mail ruck off
guard.
As thc mail truck proceeded
along route 3, a bypass in Plymouth on Cape Cod, a car sped I
by it. Other bandit cars apparently set up detour signs behind
the truck to keep motorists
from using the highway while
the holdup was in progress.
A short time later, the truck
came upon one holdup-car in
the breakdown lane of he highway and a second car parked
nearby at an angle—making it
appear to the mail truck guards
that there had been an accident.
FLAGGED DOWN
As the mail truck approached,
the make-believe policeman signalled the truck to hal.   When
Patrick Schena, thc truck
driver, slowed down, other gunmen moved into the roadway
with menacing machine-guns..
Schena and his fellow guard,
William F. Barrett, .were tied,
and forced into the rear of. the
truck. Some of the gunmen' got
in the truck and ' made three
stops on the highway northward.
Each time they tossed out to
confederates some of tl c sealed ;
containing the money.
There were about 16 bags in all. I

when the blast occurred. Tlie
bus was reported blown to pieces.
Londono said it was not known
who planted the bomb.
Tuesday was thc Roman Catholic feast of the Assumption and
a national holiday in Colombia.
The bomb incident was the
worst of its kind since last
Christmas Eve, when about 5C
persons were killed by a bomb
that exploded in the Buga army
garrison while families of the
troops were celebrating.
" The bus passengers were mostly peasants taking advantage ol
the holiday to travel to public
markets for. shopping.
