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.

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

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

neutral state is a direct outcome
of President Kennedy's Vienna

kita Khrushchev 13 months ago.

today saw the foreign ministers of
all 14 participants accept tne neu
trality declaration of Laotian Pre

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

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

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

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.

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

walkout probably would be de
