Boaters Urged To
Use Life Jackets
Sheriff Paul Bettiol went
on record this week urging
county residents, whether
boating in this county or other
waters throughout the state,
to wear a life preserver or
buoyant vest when boating in
tmall open boats.
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.

Police Believe
All Principals
Now in Custody
New York - UPB - The sur
render of the mysterious Mr.
X satisfied authorities today
that they had apprehended all i throwing demonstration i n
volving 2,000 Negroes erupt
ed Tuesday night.
The governor made clear
that if the courts fail to bring
the situation under control the
"state intends to step in . . .
if it takes 12.000 national
guardsmen."

theft, but left an expensive
question mark hanging over
the case:
Where are more than $1
million worth of the blue
chip and glamour securities
spirited from the firm's vaults
under the shirt of the "inside
man" and as yet unrecovered?
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.
I The violence occurred just
a few hours after Tuttle's de
cision when 300 hymn singing
i Negroes marched on City Hall
to protest segregation.
Police arrested 40 of the
demonstrators, including one
fice in Atlanta that he thought Iwhite man, while a crowd of

about 2,000 Negroes stood
nearby.
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. Two
officers were injured
