and family of Wabash were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lambert, 15 Krick St. POLICE (Continued from Page One) holdup, ordered every man on the city’s 2,800-strong force to turn in I any information of the slightest bearing. Capt. Michael J. head of the Massachusetts State Police Detective Bureau, said he had one strong suspect and that his men had staked out three locations in case he shows up. He would not identify the suspect but said he was not a "big-time criminal.” „ Descriptions of the five men j and one girl were distributed. The FBI threw its agents and files into the search. So meticulous was the perfpr/ mance of the robbers, however, that there was little reason to believe that they had not been just as precision-minded in plotting their moves after the holdup. The robbers got one gigantic assist from the Post Office Department and the state police. Up until a month ago, the mail trucks making the pickups of cash for transfer to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston had an escort patrol car. On July 17, it was removed. It was like taking Wyatt Earp off riding shotgun for Wells Fargo in Jesse James country. Instead, the Post Office put in the small panel truck as driver and guard two men who were crack pistol shots and had been given top security clearance. The driver was Patrick Schena, 36, of Everett, Mass., and the guard i William Barrett, 49, of Mansfield. Both are family men who make about SIOO a week. Late Tuesday afternoon, the mail truck picked up nine sacks of registered mail (the currency at the Hyannis Post Office). Shortly before 7 p.m., seven more sacks were picked up at the Buzzards Bay Post Office. Then Schena and Barrett headed up Route 3 to ward Boston, driving about 45 miles an hour in drizzly, cold weather as the day’s light began to fade. Schena and Barrett, i n five hours of subsequent questioning told what happened then: Shortly before 8 p.m., as they neared the Plymouth by-pass, a light-colored sedan whipped past ,them at 80 miles an hour. A few miles later, the mail truck came upon a man in police uniform standing by two parked cars. Before they could reach for their .38 caliber revolvers, gun barrels were thrust into the mail truck windows and Schena and Barrett were told to drop their weapons on the floor o r we’ll blast off your heads.” The robbers wore white gloves, no masEr They bound and gagged — but did not blindfold—the two Post Office men and put the robbers, who was addressed with the sacks of money. One of them robbers, who was addressed as “Tony,)’ got in the back with them.' The scene was five miles north of the phony "detour.” It had not been there when they passed by. It must have been set up seconds later so that not another motorist came up Route 3 at the time. Southbound cars on the divided highway were screened off >by a 100-foot wide area of ground rising to a 15-foot crest. Two other men got into the mail truck and drove off,, soon leaving Route 3 and taking to back country roads that bumped and jostled Schena and Barrett, j tied back to back on the truck floor, a —• • - |

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

'Gypsy'Trucking Operation Found INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The arrest of a truck driver from Tennessee may have led to the discovery of a major "gypsy” trucking operation by firms not authorized to operate in Indiana. The driver, Joe Frank Simmons. Knoxville, Tenn., has been in jail at Valparaiso since Aug. 6 when he was arrested while driving a truck which had not been licensed by the Indiana Public Service Commission. Simmons was jailed when he was unable to pay fines and Court costs totaling $123. Lt. S.R. Wasson of the PSC enforcement division said Wednesday that Simmons was stopped in a routine traffic check on U.S. -6 in Porter County and was arrdsted when officers found that the empty truck was not registered with the PSC and had only a small piece of paper for a bill of lading. Wasson said Simmons claimed he did not know who owned the truck or where it came from. ‘ "I think he is telling the truth,” Wasson said. “He says he was broke and went to some filling station in Chicago where a inan named Bill offered him $lO if he would drive this truck to Elkhart with a load of refrigerators.” Wasson said he was primarily interested in determining whether the Chicago service station serves as headquarters for other hauls by non - licensed or “gypsy” trucks. He said the only license plate on the truck driven by Simmons had been issued in Wisconsin and did not belong on the truck. At a hearing before a justice of the peace, Simmons was convicted of operating a vehicle for hire without PSC authority, failure to register a motor vehicle and driving a vehicle with an im - proper muffler. He was jailed when he was unable to pay the fines. The truck was impounded and I was still being held by police Wednesday night. Wasson said no one had called to claim the truck or to pay Simmons’ fine. Simmons also had not received the $lO he was promised for making the trip. ——— ( Three times the truck.. was < stopped and each time feny < pulled out some of the dirty white 1 sacks and handed them to a man I in front called “Buster.” He pre- l sumably tossed them out to jac- i complices in other automobiles. ! About 90 miles after the stlpkup, the car was abandoned qutside Randolph. Tony's parting words were: "You can’t see anything, you don’t know anything and don’t call the cops for 15 minutes.” It took Schena and Barrett just about that 1 ong to work themselves loose and it was at that moment the young man from Ecuador appeared on his motor , scooter. Police believe this was partially an “inside” job although no suspicion of any sort rests on Schena and Barrett. They were sent home to their families for rest. The currency pickups are on irregular schedule known only to about 50 Post Office Department employes. It was also known only to few that the state police escort, had been removed. Suspicion pointed briefly to two top men on the FBI “wanted” list — bank robbers Albert NussI baum and Bobby Wilcoxson, but authorities said today they did not believe the pair was involved. The truck driver and guard could not identify pictures of them as among the four men they saw. To solve the $1.5 million hoidup, the Post Office was limited by law to offering a reward of only $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the robbers. Handy Sprinkler When a rubber garden hose has too many holes for use, convert it into a convenient sprinkler for watering your grass or garden. If there are not enough holes, more can be easily punched into it. Then just lay this on the ground, and turn on the water. L — - — - -w- ——

Cooler Weather To Continue In State By United Press International Near record low temperatures in the 50s chilled .Indiana early today on the heels of the coldest mid-August night in weather history. Lows this morning ranged from 52 at Evansville to 61 at South Bend, with Fort Wayne recording 54 and Indianapolis and Lafayette 55. The Indianapolis low was only three degrees warmer than the all-time low for Aug. 16 estab-1 lished in 1885. Just 24 hours earlier, a nearfrosty 43 at Fort Wayne broke the old record for Aug. 15 by 10 degrees and represented the coldest weather ever recorded there so early in the pre-fall season. Although it was scheduled to be a little warmer today over the southern two-thirds of the state, no important upswing in temperatures was expected and the outlook through Saturday at least was on the cool side. Highs Wednesday ranged from 77 at South Bend to 86 at Evansville and Cincinnati. Highs today will range from 75 to 88, lows tonight from the 50s to the low 60s, and highs Friday from near 70 to the mid 70s. The outlook for Saturday was “mostly fair and continued cool.’’ Outside of a chance of widely scattered thundershowers today in the central and south portions, no precipitation was in sight at least until Sunday.

We have several people to call in the morning, so will probably get an early start. At 35,000 Feet We are flying at 35,000 feet right now, so quiet, smooth and nice, that my typewriter is the loudest ] thing you can hear. < One of the men on the trip, Ros-1 < coe Emley of Roanoke in Hunt-| j ington county, is a Democratic 11 commissioner, campaigning for re- i election. Max Bachelor, a good 1 friend of Roy Price’s, has some ' prospects for Jersey sales to look i up. He just returned, rather disappointed, from a sale, at which ’ he sold a bull for $15,000 at sale. He was disappointed, because he had been offered $20,000 for it privately. But the sale before, he . had not figured on much of a ■ price, and the auctioneer got $20,000 for the animal! The real on this trip, is Jesse Bandelier. 72 years young, who made his first trip to Yellowstone Park in a stagecoach, and went up Pike’s Peak when the snow was so deep you stepped off the roof of the stagecoach onto the surface of the snow. Bandelier National Monument, which the editor visited in 1959, and which contains marvelous Indian cave dwellings and cliff homes, in New Mexico, was named for a second cousin. Well, Wayne Rothgeb just found the key to his last hotel room in his pocket, so he becomes the first of the tour to walk away with a key, rather common in this fast, fast, fast jet age. Jess is from New Haven, and enjoying this trip just like he enjoyed his first trips 50 years ago. We stay at the Westward hotel tonight and Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon wc tour the city of, Anchorage, about 16,000, I believe, i and have dinner at the Harbor House after lunch at Forest Park. Wednesday we spend all day touring the famous Matanuska Valley, I where the cabbages weigh 60 pounds, and the vegetables are huge. Wednesday evening we leave for Tokyo, cross the international date line, and lose most of Thursday. Rust on Chrome Aluminum foil, dampened with a little water, will remove rust from chrome.
