Sheriffs Deputy Tom Mar tin was guarding two safes containing the money when Blair forced his way into the offices of the Del Monte Properties Company near the swank Del Monte lodge at Pebble Beach. Fake Heart Attack He forced Chester Gillette, treasurer of Del Monte Prop erties, and Frank Norton, an auditor, into the office and ordered Martin to drop his pistol. Martin obeyed. "Martin backed up like a boxer on his toes, sort of cas ing the situation," Blair said "I knew I had a worthy ad versary. If the Army hasn't done anything else, it has taught me to know people. I saw I had to tie him up right away." Blair ordered the three men to lie down on the floor. Then Martin decided to feign a heart attack. He began groan ing and thrashing around. "He was rolling, drooling and his tongue was hanging out," Blair said. "I'd read enought to know about heart attacks. I had laid down the gun to tie him up, and when I leaned over to pick up the gun again, he grabbed me." Gun Goes Off During the furious struggle that ensued, Blair's gun went off, but the bullet lodged in the wall. Gillette and Morton piled on Blair after Martin finally disarmed the gunman and nailed him to the floor. Blair said he had thought there would be $250,000 in re ceipts. He said he decided on the holdup because "it would be like taking candy away from a baby." Blair said he retired from the Army in 1954 after 20 years of service. Army records showed he has received two Distinguished Services cross es, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with two oak leaf clus ters, and three battle stars.

The president of a nearby university borrowed him one day to cook an import ant dinner, and Napoleon proudly set forth to .fill the engagement, his trusty carving knives wrapped in a' piece of old newspaper. He just did catch his bus, and breathing heavily, in structed the driver, "Step on the gas, mister. The president is waiting for me." 'The driv er looked warily at the carv ing knives, nodded, "You're the boss." and drove him straight to a lunatic asylum. Thinking this must be the university, the cook un wrapped his knives and announced to the guard at the gate, "I'm Napoleon Where's the party?" Next thing Napoleon knew he was in a padded cell. University officials plus the hotel manager rescued Napoleon some eight hours later. 195$, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. S83 Million Given Programs by Ford Foundation in '57 Favorite Design ?? . , i " iV t III 1 &VB&sfj III J New York The Ford Foundation made new grants j and appropriations totaling S83 million for education and other programs of national importance during the last fiscal year, according to the 1957 annual report. The re port covers the period from Oct. 1, 1956, to Sept. 30, 1957. Actions during 1957 had brought to more than $1 bil lion the Foundation's grants and appropriations since it was established in 1936. The largest single grant was S24.5 million to expand na tionally the Woodrow Wilson fellowship program to com bat the ' shortage of college teachers. Fullest Potential Henry T. Heald, completing his first year as president of the Foundation, said in the report that "the cornerstone of the Foundation's philoso phy and program is the be lief that through education society can realize its fullest potential for material abun dance, intellectual enlighten ment, and moral growth. "Higher education is beset today by financial difficulties greater than those of any other period in American his tory. They are the result of a set of circumstances im posed upon higher education by tlie society it serves, 'and hence they become the re sponsibility of that society." Heald cited as pressures on higher education the larger number seeking education, the demand for more years of education, the expanding fund of knowledge, and the United States' role as leader of the free world. The year was marked by the ascendency ' of certain Foundation programs and the completion of others, Heald pointed out.
