The sheriff slated that state-wide count of. drownings from small boat accidents total IS so far this year. In each of these cases the vic tims were not wearing a life saving device. Reports indi cate that, without a doubt, had these people been wear ing a life preserver, the ma jority of them would have been saved. The sheriff further Indi cated that the accidents oc curred cither when the small boats capsized or the victims fell overboard while standing in the boats. "These people certainly did not expect the accident to happen," said Sheriff Bettiol. "If they had they would have been prepared by wearing a life preserver." The sheriff added: "When a boating accident occurs it happens fast and more often than not the victim is on his way to the bottom while his life-saving equipment is drift ing off in the current." The sheriff also reported that he has a new circular called "Safety Afloat" which emphasizes the use of life savinc equipment. He said this pamphlet will be distrib uted by his office. tt u:::' !

Some Recovered H. G. Foster, special agent in charge of the FBI here, said Tuesday night an esti mated $270,000 of the haul had been recovered. Due to the speedy apprehension of four alleged principals in the case, it was believed others would have difficulty dis posing of the missing stocks through legitimate channels. The FBI has issued a call to the public to help in re covering the securities, which include issues of IBM, Pola roid. AT&T, Standard Oil of New Jersey and E. I. Du Pont de Nemours. Awaits Arraignment Mr. X awaits arraignment today on charges of criminally receiving stolen property. Tuesday, two and one half hours after being identified as Alan Jack Pomeranz by the U.S. attorney's office, the 30 ycar - old interior decorator turned himself in to New York Disl. Atty. Frank S. Hogan. Pomeranz, father of three, who allegedly masterminded Ihe operation, disclosed only his name, age and address. Salesman of Ideas Pomeranz was variously de scribed by Hogan as "a sales man of sorts who lived by his wits" and "a salesman of ideas." His arrest, the 13th thus far in the case, was preceded Tuesday by the apprehension of another interior decorator, Edward Sehoenberger. 30, whose plus Manhattan apart ment allegedly provided the locale for the suspects' meet ing. Held in $25,000 Bail U.S. Commissioner Earle N. Bishopp held Sehoenberg er, also known as Bobby Ed wards, (n $25,000 bail for a hearing Aug. 3. The other two alleged prin cipals, Gordon A. Tallman and Robert J. Dodge, are be ing held respectively in no bail and $100,000 bail. Tallman is the $120-a-week stock clerk at Bache who al legedly stole the securities from the firm. Dodge, an un employed truck driver, alleg edly acted as the middleman, relaying instructions from Pomerantz to Tallman on how to cany out the theft. , Federal Judge Elbert Tuttle was "absolutely wrong" Tues day in lifting a legal ban against racial demonstrations. Tuttle reversed a restrain . ing order that had been hand ed down earlier by another i federal judge, Robert Elliott.

In overturning the restrain ing order, Tuttle made clear that Elliott could still hold another hearing next week to determine whether a tempor ary injunction, a legal step toward winning a permanent injunction, should be issued to again ban the protests. The hearing is scheduled next Monday and Vandiver said he believes Judge Elliott can invoke new legal re straints at that time. The immediate goal of Al bany Negroes is establishment of a bi-racial committee through which they can dis cuss with city officials future desegregation goals, ending segregation at all public fa cilities such as parks, li braries, lunch counters and swimming pools. They are also demanding that S200 cash bonds posted by arresting demonstrators be returned. Rocks and bottles were hurled Tuesday night at offi cers who moved into the crowd to disperse it.
