(UPD — Ana- ■ tionwide alarm was out today for I a 21-year-old socialite beauty who i disappeared at Newark Airport ■ late Tuesday after kissing her fiance good-bye at a plane gate. Jacqueline Gay Hart, a 1955 1 debutante who was graduated from college in June and was to have been married in just five weeks, apparently never reached her graduation - present car, found parked in a brightly lighted area just 50 feet from the entrance to the airport terminal. The only apparent clue to her [ fate was the report of her fiance, . Stanley Noyes Gaines, 25, that be saw four or five “hoodlums” follow the small blonde beauty from the airplane deaprture gate. I The youths, described only as having ducktail haircuts, were also seen by others, and are being sought by police for questioning. But their known activity onlv’ served to compound the mystery. The car they were believed to have been driving also was found abandoned at the airport. It had I no license plates. “I’m scared. I’m just plain ; scared,” said Gaines, who re- : turned from Pittsburgh, where he ) had gone for a job interview, immediately on learning of Miss I Hart’s disappearance. f “I'm even afraid to mention . possibilities,” said Police Director Joseph Weldon. The Rev. Herbert R. Cooper, who was scheduled to marry the couple in Christ Episcopal ■ Church, Short Hills on Aug. 25, said the girl’s distraught parents believe she is a victim of “foul play.” “The longer it goes, the less , chance the girl has,” said acting i Police Inspector Charles Kelly. . FBI agents, without direct juris- , diction in the case, were working I with local police. , Despite the foreboding statements, police said they had not discounted the possibility the apparently happy girl had disappeared voluntarily. Police Without Clues But they were equally without clues as to how she might have i done that. I The airport is surrounded by j marshland and by a waterfront i and factory area which would be (frightening to most persons at , I night. It is bordered by the New ’(Jersey Turnpike and several other ‘ highways. 1 Police scoured the airport area ■ and a Coast Guard helicopter searched the airport and the surrounding marshes from the air. The girl's beauty could be expected to turn heads in any crowd, but police said they had checked 1 all airline personnel, taxi and bus 1 drivers serving the airport and all hotels and motels in the city and airport area without finding ’ anyone who had seen her later . than her fiance, whose plane took of at 11:30 p.m., Tuesday. Miss Hart is the daughter of Ralph A. Hart, executive vice

Near Three Million Bet With Syndicate TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPD— An alleged international gambling syndicate grossed $2,895,282 during three months in the fall of 1957, a U.S. Treasury agent testified at the tax evasion trial of alleged syndicate members Wednesday. . Glen Johnson said he based his figures on the alleged syndicate’s own records which were seized by T-men, including Johnson, in, a raid in November. 1957, of what the government contends was the syndicate headquarters here. Johnson’s total was $468,000 short of the figure named in the indictment which charges that the eight defendants evaded $326,000 in the federal 10 per cent excise I tax on wagers. However, under the law, the government has only to prove a “substantial portion" of the amount alleged. Johnson, on the stand all day in the month-old trial, testified that the alleged syndicate accepted $355,525 in wagers on Thanksgiving Day football gamqp , alone. He said bets for three days of games over the Thanksgiving ’ holiday totaled $1,137,525. ; The defense blocked the govern- ; menrt’s attempt to have Johnson , break down the bets by months. [■ The indictment charges evasion of taxes in each of the months of September, October and November, 1957. “I’m not going to let this witness place himself in the jury box,” Judge Cale J. Holder said in upholding defense ■ objections. “There is sufficient evidence for the jury to decide what bets were made in which months.” Because of the ruling, the government did not ask Johnson for ’ his computation of the total tax evasion. However, U.S. District ' Attorney Don A. Tabbert told i newsmen he did not feel this ruling weakened the government’s ' case. 1 If you have something to sell ot j rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring resuits. I
