Arrest Suspect In Indianapolis Holdup INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —A man arrested in New York City today was charged with the $14,600 holdup of an Indianapolis downtown bank six months ago. Special Agent Edward J. Powers of the FBI said Frank Boitano, 42, Fall River, Mass., was captured in the early morning hours in Manhattan on a federal warrant charging he held up the American Fletcher National Bank and Trust Co. East Washington St. branch last Feb. 16. A lone unmasked bandit appeared at the bank’s front entrance after closing time on that date, attracted the attention of an official and urged that he be admitted so he could make a deposit before he left town. Hie manager opened the door to talk with the bandit, who pulled a gun from beneath a topepat and forced his way inside. | The bandit ordered five employes into the rear of the place, gathered up a harvest of cash and walked out. Powers said Boitano's car found parked in a lot near the place where he was arrested yielded a revolver. He said Boitano was scheduled to be arraigned before a U. S. commisibner in New York today. A complaint against Boitano was authorized by Don A. Tabbert. district attorney at Indianapolis, who recommended $50,000 bond for the suspect. Mother Os Polio Victims Urges Shots UNXBRIDGE. Mass. (UPI) —A young mother, who saw four of her children hit by polio after she neglected to have them inoculated, Wednesday night urged other parents to be less careless. “I’m a very unhappy and worried mother tonight,’’ Mrs. Marieplante Majeau, 27, told a reporter. “It was just carelessness on my part.” Four of her six youngsters were this community's first polio cases. All are hospitalized in satisfactory condition. The children were among a handful who did not receive the shots in mass inoculation clinics here. Mrs. Majeau, whose husband was killed in an automobile ac cident last April, said she was so busy after the fatal "crash that "“I just didn’t get to it /inocula tions).” ’

Gillig Family Passes Newspapers 20 Years

It will be 20 years this month that members of the Leo Gillig family have been passing an unusual inheritance down the line—a newspaper route. Sometime in August, 1939, Albert (Al) Gillig recalls, he began passing the Decatur Daily Democrat on First and Second streets. Shortly after that his brother, Johrt, began the route of customers on Third through Seventh streets between Adams and Madison streets. Since then, each member of the Leo Gillig family—Albert, John David, Donald, Anthony, and Gerald passing the route from one to another, with sisters Rosemary and Marcella substituting at times —has had a part in passing papers on the two routes. Original Routes Combined The two routes were combined recently into one, and now Gerald, who will be a senior at Decatur Catholic high school this fall, takes care of approximately 130 copies of the Democrat each evening. Al’s route, the first one in the family, was Second street from Marshall south to Five Points over to First stret, and north on First street to Marshall. John, now the Rev. John Gillig, assistant at St. Monica's parish in Mishawaka, began with a route on Third through Seventh streets between Adams and Madison streets. After a couple of years, Al, who is now in business with his father at Decatur Dry Cleaners, moved from the newspaper work to another job, and John took the uptown route. David (Dave) took the Third through Seventh street route. Dave, who is now married, has a baby daughter, Diana, five months old and lives in Fort Wayne, got another job at the Democrat, on the production end, and passed his route on to Donald. Donald, now studying at St. Meinrad’s Seminary, in southern Indiana between Louisville, Ky., and Evansville, passed the Third through Seventh street route on to Gerald in 1953. Gerald Takes Over When John graduated from high school in 1948, he had turned over the up-town route to Anthony (Tony). Tony graduated in 1957, and is now working with Yost’s Construction company. At his graduation, both routes were and Gerald, who began as a newsboy on First street in 1951, took over the combined route. In between times. Al Gillig recalls, when there was a baseball game, or one of the boys coud not take the route for some reason or other, one of the two girls would help out. Rosemary is a Western Union operator in Elkhart. Marcella, a registered nurse at the Adams county memorial hospital, is now Mrs. Ronald J. Smith. Going back into the Gillig family history, one finds out that Leo Gillig, who now operates the Decatur Dry Cleaners is a former county sheriff. Deputy under Dallas Brown and Ed Miller, he was sheriff between 1943 and 1946. Mayor Os Tell City Dies Wednesday Night TELL CITY, Ind. (UPD—Tell City Mayor Nicholas T. Beumel, 60, died Wednesday night after several months of illness. Beumel, a Republican, was elected mayor in 1951 and reelected to a second term in 1955. He was the only candidate for mayor on either party ticket last May in the municipal primary and was renominated for a third term subject to decision of voters in the November election.

Steel Strike * Dragging Into Its 30th Day wide shutdown of steel production dragged Into its 30th day today with no brighter prospect of agreement than the promise of Chief Federal Mediator Joseph F. Finnegan that '‘eventually this strike is going to be settled.” President Eisenhower Wednesday exploded reports that the administration will step into the picture in an attempt to gelt 500,000 striking steel workers back to work before the September visit of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. Finnegan was to meet with union and industry leaders again today, but there was no indication that there has been any discussion this week of the basic issue at dispute — the union’s 15-cent wage package demand vs the industry’s insistence that no overall increase in labor costs be agreed to. Despite the President’s reiteration of his belief inat the government should stay out of the dispute until it reaches the stage of national emergency, one Republican senator said Wednesday he is considering presenting a resolution calling for presidential appointment of a fact-finding board in the dispute. A similar resolution already has the signatures of 35 Democratic senators, but Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) said he objects to its provision for direct presidential intervention before the fact-find-ing procedure. Eisenhower noted at his Gettysburg news conference Wednesday that there had been suggestions the government was interested in spurring settlement before Khrushchev’s visit. —“Don’t we want Mr. Khrushchev to see this country as a ... freedom loving place?” Eisenhower asked. “Why should we worry too much about the fact that people can strike? ... I think that this is ... a shallow kind of thinking.” The President indicated that he believed settlement of the strike would present a stronger picture of American democracy than continued strife . . . “But only if it is done on a free basis.” “And personally, I think,” he said, “except for the use of the ' Federal Mediation Service, that until there is a national emergency discernible ... I couldn’t think of anything more objectionable than to put the federal government constantly in the business of settling these major strikes.” Trooper Retires After 20 Years INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — State Police Supt. Harold S. Zeis today announced the retirement of trooper Millard W. Huffman, 48, Kokomo, after 20 years of service. Trooper Huffman, who is a graduate of Rockport High School and attended Indiana University, joined the state police in 1938 and was assigned to the Pendleton District. In 1954 he was transferred to Peru Post.
