Trinity County Deputies Seek
Clues To Mail Truck Holdup
By United Press International
Trinity county sheriff's of
ficers and federal postal in
spectors searched for leads in
the holdup of a mail truck en
route to Hayfork with $12,000
In cash for jobless workers.
It was the biggest U.S. maii
robbery in northern Califor
nia mountain country since
the Ruggles brothers took
$30,000 at gunpoint from a
Weaverville-bound stage in
1892 and were hanged by an
outraged mob.
Two men masked with
Arctic woolen caps held up
and kidnaped Bruce L. John,
49, and escaped with the
$12,000.
Flagged Down
John said he was flagged
down by what he thought
were two county road depart
ment employees on the road
between Douglas City and
Hayfork. The men had a
truck later discovered to have
been stolen from the Red
Bluff school district.
When the shorter of the
holdup men came close
enough for John to see he was
masked and carried a pistol,
John tried to shift his truck
into reverse but missed, and
the truck stalled. '
"Don't try that again," the
robber warned.
The gunman climbed into
the mail truck and ordered
John to follow a yellow pick
up truck along Deer Lick
Springs rd. Two miles up the
road, the second robber
joined his companion in the
mail truck and they pulled
off the road.
Left in Truck
They tied John's hands be
hind him, bound his feet with
adhesive tape, blindfolded
him and left him in his truck.
John said he heard the en
gine of an automobile start
and the robbers drive away.
He worked his feet free, rub
bed the mask from his eyes,
and went to seek help.
At week's end, Sheriff Har
old Wilson said one possible
clue was a 1956 cream and
turquoise sedan which was
Been in the area the same
day. Two men and a woman
were inside.
Wilson said the woman
might have driven the car to
the rendezvous point after the
holdup.
The sheriff, who called in
FBI agents, said the holdup
was "as well timed as a
clock."
Elsewhere, there were these
developmentsr
Nixon: Former Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon said
he is "not retiring from pub
lic life." The returning native
son told a cheering "Welcome
Home Dick and Pat" audi
ence of 1,500 in Beverly Hills
he presently has no plans to
run but extolled the "full, ex
citing life in public affairs."
He declined to be drawn into
a statement directly that he
would oppose Gov. Edmund
G. Brown for California's
leadership by staling that it
was "too early" to comment
on the incumbent administra
tion. Eisenhower: An old golfer
by the name of Dwight D. Eis
enhower visited the baseball
training camp of the Los An
geles Angels in Palm Springs
and had a high time joking
with the players. The vaca
tioning ex-president said he
was "grateful" for President
Kennedy's action in ' asking
congress to restore his five
star general's rank. He called
it "very thoughtful" of Ken
nedy. Kennedy: President Ken
nedy's father, former Ambas
sador Joseph Kennedy, ar
rived in Palm Sp-ir.gs by priv
ate plane from Palm Beach,
Fla. Kennedy said he would
be staying at the desert home
of former actress Marion
Davies and her husband,
Capt. Horace Brown. He had
no plans to meet with Eisen
hower, who was vacationing
nearby.
Payne: Actor John Payne,
48, was struck by a car while
crossing a Manhattan street
and was hospitalized with ser
ious injuries, including a
broken leg and face and scalp
cuts. Police said Payne, of
Santa Monica, Calif., was
walking to meet a friend for
dinner when he was hit by a
car at Madison ave. and 61st
st.
Phillips: President Ken
nedy has advised the wife of
one of the missing crew mem
bers of the RB47 plane shot
down by the Soviet Union
that "we simply do not know"
their fate. Mrs. Patricia Phil
lips of Sacramento made pub
lic a letter from the Presi
dent. It said, in part: "It will
be difficult for you at this
time especially and I wish I
could give you some specific
information about this tragic
event but as a matter of fact
we simply do not know any
more."
Terry: A 15-year-old Sepul
veda High school boy admit
ted he shot down his mother
and father in their garage,
but said, "actually I didn't
want to kill them. I guess 1
wanted to hurt, them real
bad." The boy, Terry Lynn
Wiggins, had a pretrial hear
ing at week's end in juvenile
hall. His parents were not ser
iously injured.
Annual Incentive Awards Are Presented at VA Domiciliary
While City - At the Annual
Incentive Awards ceremony
Wednesday the employees of
the Veterans Administration
Domiciliary were commended
by the manage! , Henry C.
Herzog.
The year 1960 was most sig
nificant in several ways, he
noted. On July 21, 1960, the
VA celebrated its 30th anni
versary, having been estab
lished July 21, 1930.
In recognition of those 30
years in existence, an Incen
tive Awards contest was held
VA-wide with major empha
sis on the increase of at least
30 per cent in the suggestion
program which reflected 1 per
cent for each year of the Vet
erans Administration's exist
ence. The domiciliary attained
its goal and maintained a good
adoption rale, Herzog said.
Adoption Rate Tops
In comparison with other
federal agencies during 1960
having over 100,000 employ
ees, the adoption rate per em
ployee was tops - 40 per cent
above the next highest agency,
the Navy Department, and
double the adoption rate of
the Army and Air Force.
Herzog pointed out that this
is a record for which the dom
iciliary may be proud. The
adoption rate at White City
compared favorably with the
national agencies of the Vet
erans administration.
Herzog expressed his sin
cere appreciation to the par
ticipating employees who sub
mitted the suggestions, the su
pervisory personnel who as
sisted in the program through
publicity and advice to the
individual suggestors, and rec
ognized the excellent work of
the Incentive Awards commit
tee, all of whom worked to
gether to make it possible for
(he While City Domiciliary
to receive the Administrator's
"Target 30 Award."
A performance group award

Wounds Is Topic
01 IV Program
"Wounds," bo'.h common
accidental injuries and special
types, will be discussed on
"Adventures in Medicine" at
J:30 o'clock this afternoon
over station KBES-TV. Spec
ial attention will be given to
wounds with danger of tetan
us. '
According to medical au
thorities, many common in
juries which in themselves are
not usually serious, can be
aggravated by the wrong
type of treatment or care im
mediately following the in
jury, thereby adding to the
danger of infection.
While many common
wounds do not require the at
tention of a physician, certain
types are more subject to
serious infection and should
have immediate medical care
to guard against this danger.
"Things to do" and "things
not to do" in the home treat
ment of minor wounds will
be included in the discussion.
Appearing on the medical
panel will be Dr. Malcolm
Bvers, Dr. Laurel G. Case,
