Italian Police Seeking
Answer To Gypsy Queen
Rome ttJ3!)--Who is Matzos-
J ka'and where can she be found?
i Is taere really such a beautiful,
t stately gypsy queen, and does
t she deck herself with the stolen
f Torlonie jewels at every annual
J reunion of Italian gypsies?
I i.- These are questions the Cara
; binieri, Italy's federal police are
j trying to answer for Matzoska
is a new lead in a strange rob
vbery case that began 16 years
J ago. ...
X In July, 1940, a- month after
i Italy entered World War II, a
I Torlsnia princess booked a room
' at the Orand Hotel of Carezza
al Lago near 'Bolzano in north
; em Italy., The next morning all
J o her jewels disappeared a
, five-Bring pearl necklace, two
. large emerald rings, a ruby-
(tudded silver bracelet and a
' diamond? Tiara. .
Their value was prut at about
; a ' bilUon lire ($1,600,000) but
! there was a much higher his
: tocical value, for these jewels
; ere once part of the treasure
I of the royal house 'of Spain.
The lgcal police could not find
: out how the thief could have
s entered the, room on the second
floor without awakening the
princess and without forcing the
only door to the room or the
French windows opening onto a
terrac. Special agents from
" Rome were equally baffled.
A Soast
Because 'of the war the whole
story was hushed up and the
5 identity of "the Torlonia prin
s cess has beien kept a close secret
vea to this day.
' But a .'few months after the
robbery the Carabinieri of Re-
0 aon, near Bolzano, arrested the
1 chief of a gypsy tribe on a va
grancy charge. This tall hand
some gypsy chief called himself
Guglielmo Leimberger and dur
ing questioning on his activi
ties he boasted that he stole the
Torlonia jewels. He even offer
ed to show how he had done it.
He was taken to the hotel and
let free jn the garden. The po
lice did not tell him which bad
been the room of the princess.
Leimberger, according to a po
lice report, darted to a drain
pipe, kicked off his sandals, and
thajn clambered up. He reached
the balcony of the terrace in 12
seconds.
At the French windows, he
whipped a loop of piano wire
from around his neck, slipped
n nd through the slight crack
where the windows met and
lifted the swing latch.
i Leimberger was arrested at
.once and questioned for hours
as to where he had disposed of
the jewels. He assured the police
he had not sold them. He said
he was willing to pay for his
crime because he had gained
considerable prestige among the
Jfypsy tribes. He added that it
. had been pure chance that he
bad entered the room of the
.Torlonia princess.
A Gypsy Talks
Leimberger was put on trial,
"i found guilty and sentenced to
eight years in prison.
By now it was believed that
the Torlonia jewels had been
smuggled Tout 'of Italy. Never-
theless police were told to be
a constantly on the alert at gypsy
camps for any' sight of the

jewels. Eight years later, when
Leimberger was released, a
watch was kept on him, but
gradually interest in the case
died down.
Then a few weeks ago inter
est was revived. A young and
beautiful gypsy girl called Lu
iska was detained by the Bol
zano police on a vagrancy charge
and she, like Leimberger, boast
ed that she had seen the Tor
lonia jewels.
"Matzoska wears them," she
said, and then spat on the floor.
Under questioning Luiska add
ed that .Matzoska was the queen
of all Italian gypsies and that
she wore the Torlonia jewels at
every annual reunion. She
would not say anything more.
Leimberger was picked up
and interrogated on this new
development, but all he would
say was:
"I stole the jewels and paid
for the crime. Nothing else is
important."
However, the police noticed
that for the first time the gypsy
was nervous. Confronted with
Luiska he stormed at her in a
strange dialect which made her
cringe. She later told police she
had made up the whole story.
- But the police are not taking
any chances and they are watch
ing, for the signs of the gypsies'
annual reunion this year.
Heating Oil Price
Boosted in Portland
Portland 0J.R) The price of
heating oil was boosted one-cent
a gallon here yesterday by one
major oil company but distribu
tors said that the price rise
would not be passed along to
householders unless other com
panies follow suit and a general
price rise is made to adjust
costs.
The Union Oil company of
California revealed the whole
sale price increase to its dealers.
Company spokesmen said that
no increase in the price of gaso
line was anticipated, however.
Emergency Board Has
Power of Allocation
Salem XU K Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton said to
day that the State Emergency
Board has discretionary power
in making allocations from the
state emergency fund.
Thornton held that while the
emergency board may supple
ment regular biennial appropri
ations made ' to state depart
ments and agencies in case of
emergency, it is under no legal
obligation to supply the emer
gency money.
State officers are responsible
for working within the limits
of regular appropriations or in
curring ' individual liability,
Thornton said.
LOCKED UP BY THIEF
Portland U.R) A service sta
tion attendant was locked in a

said.

Submarines Armed
With New Weapon
Washington 0J.R) The Navy
disclosed today that its hunter
killer ships are being armed
with a powerful new anti-submarine
rocket known as "weapon
able."
The rocket, which carries a
conventional explosive charge,
may be the forerunner of a ship
launched atomic depth charge.
It has been under secret develop
ment by the Navy for several
years as one answer to the un
dersea threat posed by Russia's
large submarine fleet.
A Navy spokesman said all
five of the new 3,480-ton leader
class destroyers are now
equipped with the rocket. Most
of the 30 escort destroyers in the
active fleet are now armed with
the weapon. All new destroyer
escorts will have the weapon.

Cahill in Prison
For Second Tims
Salem (U.P.) Otto Cahill,
Delake, was back behind the
bars of Oregon State peniten
tiary today for the second time
to serve a one year pentientiary
sentence for misappropriating
S750 belonging to the Taft-Nel-scott-DeLake
water district.
Cahill was imprisoned last
June but was released when the
State Supreme Court stayed his
sentence pending outcome of an
appeal to the U. S. Supreme
Court. The U. S. high court de
nied his petition two weeks ago.
Cahill was convicted in Polk
County Circuit court and was
fined $1,500 in addition to his
prison sentence. He was known
on the Oregon coast for charges
he made two years ago that vice
and corruption were rampant in
the Lincoln county area.
