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.

FROM SCRANTON, PA., comes the story of a chef named
Napoleon whose roasts and sauces were famous for miles
around. 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.

S83 Million Given

Foundation in '57

&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.
European Program
A European program crys
tallized from the Foundations
interests in Europe over the
last seven years. Opening
grants were made in the arts
part of a new program in hu
manities and the arts. Pro
grams in youth development,
problems of the aging, and
science and engineering were
started.
The Foundation's program
in the behavioral sciences and
the TV-radio workshop, pro
ducer of Omnibus, were con
cluded. Three other programs were
completed by final payments
