Few Laughing As FBI Cleans Up Stock Case NEW YORK -(UPl)-The theft Of $1.2 million in hlup chin ctnpltc itarted as a joke. With eight men aireaay under arrest, about the only one with anything left to laugh about today is a still-missing, mysterious "Mr. X." And. authorities say, they know Mr. X's identity, so any laughs may be short-lived in the fast breaking case of the securities that disappeared from the big brokerage house of Bache Jt Co. here. The case replete with stock smuggling under clothing, a bur ied treasure in securities, and an FBI man who posed as a crooked slock buyer came to a head Friday with four arrests in two states. Among those- seized were the alleged "inside man," the so called trusted employe who car ried the stocks from a vault and out of the office concealed under his clothing, and the brother of a delegate to the 19S7 Apalachin, N.Y., gangland convention. Arrested in ;New York were Gordon A. Tallman, 30, a stock record clerk in Bache's Wall St. office, which disclosed the million-plus theft earlier this month, and Robert J. Dodge, 24, an un employed truck driver. Both are from New York City. Buyer FBI Agent FBI agents in Newark, N.J., ar rested Joseph George Martinelli, 48, Jersey City, N.J., and John Lombardozzi, 36, Brooklyn, broth er of Carmine Lombardozzi, who attended the Apalachin gangland convention. Martinelli and Lom bardozzi were seized after sup posedly closing a deal to sell $200,000 in stolen blue chip stooks.. The buyer turned out to be an FBI undercover man. New York Dist. Atty. Frank S.

O Model May Be Seen At The Fairgrounds Two Models To Choose From , DEADY LUMBER CO. Roscburg OR 3-7194 Lto Sanders - Owner Hogan said the $1.2 million theft started out as a joke. Tallman and Dodge, the dis trict attorney said, got into a "joking" conversation in a bar room about what they could do if they had all the money represent ed by stocks which Tallman han dled every day. "So they decided to see what they could do about it," Hogan said. The first effort, in mid-May turned to naught. Hogan said Tallman took 100 shares of Gen eral Motors stock and gave the certificates to Dodge. But because the stock carried an individual's name, it required establishing a false identity to sell. That proved too difficult and Dodge allegedly burned the shares. Hogan said that's where Mr. X moved into the picture. "Mr. X boasted be could dis pose of stocks and a deal was made," Hogan said. "Early in June, Tallman stole another cer tificate for 100 shares of GM, gave it to Dodge, who passed it on to Mr. X. Pats Like Dream Hogan said that soon Mr. X told Dodge that the stock "passed like a dream, get a million aoi lars worth." That, said Hogan, Is what hap nened. Tallman .allegedly picked out more than $1 million worth of such blue chip stocks as Du font, International Business Machines, Standard Oil of New Jersey, American Motors, Americal Tele phone. The stock clerk purportedly concealed the certificates under his shirt and continued working for several hours before walking out of the office. Tallman allegedly turned the stock over to Dodge, who secret ed it in an oil can and buried HOMES TERMS f.'j Y v.-' lu- . I - .vA W f it in a shallow hole in a Bronx vacant lot, where it remained for a week before being dug up and turned over to Mr. a. In all, authorities said, Tallman and Dodge got only about $4,300 from Mr. X although they were to share i per cent of the eventu al sale price. Bache discovered the stock missing about the beginning of June, and reported the loss. The stock, which Bache estimated as worth $1.2 million at current mar ket prices, began turning up all over the country. Isadore Gorlitzsky, 41, New York, was arrested here July 2 when he tried to sell some of the allegedly stolen shares through a broker. Alan Louia Fisher, 56, New York, was taken into cus tody in Denver when he tried to sell missing shares. Arrest Disbarred Lawyers The FBI arrested Michael Lok acos, 51, Brooklyn, described by police as a disbarred lawyer, and his nephew, Michael Lcvas, 32, at Miami Beach earlier this week. Then came the arrest Friday of Lombardozzi and Martinelli at a Newark hotel after they allegedly closed a deal to sell 1,800 shares of various blue chip stocks to the FBI undercover agent. They were released in $25,000 bail each after arraignment before a u.a. com missioner on charges of trans porting the stolen securities from New York to New jersey. Tallman ana uoage Doin were charged with grand larceny and were to appear in felony court todav. Authorities said that Tallman contributed to putting himself un der suspicion when he volun teered that a list of the missing stocks compiled in the Bache of fice was incorrect, saying it in cluded a block of stocks that was not missing. Laos Agreement Draws Praise GENEVA (UPI) Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said to day the declaration of Laos as a neutral state is a direct outcome of President Kennedy's Vienna meeting with Soviet Premier Nl kita Khrushchev 13 months ago. Gromyko and Secretary of State Dean Rusk, joined in praising the successful conclusion of the 14-na-tion Laos conference at its final meeting today and Rusk offered Laos economic and technical aid to eliminate the wastes of war. The session of the -conference today saw the foreign ministers of all 14 participants accept tne neu trality declaration of Laotian Pre mier Prince Souvanna Phouma thus setting up Laos as an mde nendent and neutral state. Gromyko and Rusk addressed the conference a few hours before they were scheduled to meet for their first private session on tne major cold war topics of Berlin and disarmament. Their nresence here for the alanine of the Laotian neutrality declaration has given them an op portunity to resume high level talks on crucial cold war issues.

First Lady To Spend Vacation In Old Villa On Italian Riviera RAVELLO, Italy (UPI) -Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy will spend her vacation here next month in a villa more than 700 years older than the White House. The Villa Sangro, where Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter, Caro line, will live for two weeks early in August, affords the same pri vacy as the White House, with a high wall screening it from the rest of the village. But there Ravello's parallel with Washington ends. The village is perched on a 1,227-foot hill ov erlooking some of the most beau tiful coastline in the world. In stead of broad avenues and heavy traffic, it has winding streets lit tle changed from the Middle Ages and rigidly enforced quiet. Other famous guests have lived in the villa before the First Lady. They include Richard Wagner, who wrote the Third Act of his opra, Parsifal, in a nearby villa in the last century; Italian King Victor Emmanuel III, who main tained contact with the nearby Al lied headquarters at Salerno and made his decision to abdicate in Norman Smith Gets Fulbright Scholarship Norman S. Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor E. Smith of 1649 SE Mill St. in Roseburg is the re cipient of a Fulbright Foundation scholarship for game animal re search in Africa, according to word received at The News-Review from his mother. Amount of the scholarship ' will be from $9,000 to $11,000, depend ing on the amount of tune he spends in Africa. Smith will be affiliated with the East Africa Agricultural and For estry Research Organization which is headquartered 12 miles from Nairobi. Most of the field work of his nine to 12-month stay will be in the Northern Frontier Province and the Nasal plains of Kenya. Ob ject of the research project is of ficially titled "The efficiency of certain game animals compared to I domestic animals in producing! meat in relation to specific envir onmentat conditions. ,.. Smith is a 1950 graduate of Rose- burg High School. He went to Ore gon State University for one year Lthen entered the U.S. Jvavy where ne served overseas on tne destroy er USS McDermott.

Built For Bishop The villa was built in 1088 as the residence of Orso Papice, the first bishop of Ravello. The town was thriving then; by the Uth Century it had 36,000 inhabitants. But then it declined and the church withdrew its bishop. The villa was sold to a succession of owners. The present owners are the family of the duke of San gro. The regular occupant of the villa is Francesco Parisi, an en gineer in Rome. Ravello has more than history to offer vacationers. It sits above the Amalfi Drive, which takes thousands of tourists yearly along tne most oeautmi! stretch of coastline in all Italy. Nearby are tne more famous Mediterra the chances are that Mrs. Kennedy will use it. Alternatively, she may drive the 26 miles south from Na ples to Salerno, wartime Allied headquarters, and then take a winding road nine miles back north to Ravello. nean resort towns of Amalfi and Positano. The water is also the easiest appraoch route for Ravello, and The road is so narrow and twisting that the drive normally takes an hour. Guard Against Noise Ravello's relative isolation helps keep it quiet, and its police force cracks down quickly on any mo torcyclists or other noisemakers who manage to get through. . Italians warmly welcomed Mrs. Kennedy on her first brief visit to Italy this year. She stopped over in Rome for 33 hours on her way to India and Pakistan in March and had an audience with Pope John XXIII. The Italian press criticized the excessive zeal of the security men guarding Mrs. Kennedy on her last visit and complaints already have been voiced about the ar rangements for her vacation. The magazine, Lo Specchlo, said three Secret Service men already have arrived in Ravello. Rail Officials Stay Silent On Walkout CLEVELAND (UPI) Railroad - lunlon presidents, still silent on the possibility of a nationwide walkout, postponed any action - Friday against management' plans to dismiss 13,000 firemen. Three operating union presidents and officials of two others met here to discuss what course to take in the railroads' decision to eliminate the firemen's lobs, ef fective Aug. 16. Khnt-Hv aftpt flip pnnfprpnpp hp- gan, the union leaders issued a joint statement saying another meeting would be held. Thev did not mention where or when. The three presidents said they had begun a study "of the 40- page ultimatum served on us by the carrier conference committees." The unions legally could call a strike the same day the new work rules go into effect, although any walkout probably would be de layed at least 60 days if Presi dent Kennedy summoned an emer gency fact-finding board.
