(UPI) Gun Moll May Be Undoing of Gang in Mail Truck Theft Boston (UPI) - A pimply faced gun moll may prove the undoing of the machine gun gang that robbed a mall truck of a record $1,551,277 at Plymouth, according to of ficials. Chief Postal Inspector Henry B. Montague pre dicted eventual capture of the robbers, perpetrators of the largest cash holdup In the nation's history, but he would not forecast an early solution of the case. "Their chances of a clean Relaway are certainly not heightened by the fact that one member of the gang Is a woman," he said In an In terview In Washington. "We know that a woman in a gang has often caused its undoing." Tendency To Talk He said that in past thefl cases women had shown a tendency to talk too much, and there was a possibility also that a broken romanre might crack the gang in ternally. William T. White, chief New England postal inspect or, said he planned to pay his first visit to the scene of the crime sometime soon. He said other investigators planned to retrace the route the bandils followed after they hijacked the truck on busy Koute 3 then drove It. to the Intersection of Routes 128 and 28 at Randolph. White reported that a Massachusetts Department of Public Works "detour" sign, similar to that used by the gang to divert traffic while they looted the mail truck, was found In Boston's Rox bury section. He said he could not tell if the sign was con nected with the case. Other signs have been found pre viously, including five in the trunk of a burning stolen car on the night of the robbery. White, who is in charge of the investigation, said, "we're running down every little rlue we hear about." Extensive Planning Sean He said he was not certain that the monster heist was strictly a locally produced af fair. "The holdup couldn't have been accomplished with out extensive planning. But I rinn't agree with the theory that it had to be Bnstonians," he addrd. The mail truck, hound from Cape Cod to Boston, was flag ged down by a gang mem ber clad as a policeman. The truck driver and a guard, armed only with ,38-raliber revolvers, were hound and gagged and the truck driven northward by the "police man." At various points the truck was stopped and the bandits apparently dropped off bags of money to ac complices who either followed the truck in separate cars or were stationed along the way. Not a shot was fired in the holdup, which was earned off with stopwatch proclaim. White disclosed that the mail truck, contrary to earlier reports, followed a regular route at a scheduled time on each of its trips. He said the truck that was robbed fol lowed the same pattern each week although other trucks from Cape Cod followed dif ferent routes. He did not say whether the truck carried mall in addition to money or how often It ran. He declined to say what precautions were being taken to prevent a recurrence of the holdup, although he re marked, "I don't Ihlng any thing like this will happen again right away." While said one person had heen given a lie detector lest in connection with the rob bery, He did not identify Ihe person hut emphasized he was not a postal employee. He also discounted the slory of Albert Arthur Ami rose, 37, an ex-convict wanted on a federal warrant for In te rat ate transportation of stolen property. Amarose had reportedly told officials he could identify the bandits, and offered to exchange the Information for his freedom. All About Feet Conservation at Podiatry Meeting Never Got Higher Than the Ankle By DICK WEST Washington - (UPI) - In some respects, the American Podi atry association's convention here was like any other con vention. They had exhibits, speeches, awards lunch eons and that sort of thing. What made it different was that the dele gates spent all talking about Can you imagine five days in which the conversation never got above the ankle? I don't know how they stood it. I spent about an hour browsing around the con vention headquarters and came away feeling that I nev er wanted to see another pair of feel, Not even my own. But if you can tolerate feet, podiatry apparently is a good profession to be in. Most peo ple have foot troubles of one ft 'I Weal of their time feel. kind or another, so business usually is booming. The 1.000 podiatrists who alttndod the convention heard papers delivered on New Exams Listed for Civil Service Jobs New examinations for sev eral civil service positions are open, according to L. B. Nel son, "examiner located at the Medford post office. Open are the positions of public utilities specialist, de partment of - interior; farm management supervisor; sec retarial; fishery and wildlife biologist, and dietitian and public health nutritionist. Additional information con cerning the examinations may be obtained from Nelson. Cuckfield, England - n -Coroner A. C. Sommerville recorded Monday what he be lieves to be the first case in Britain of suicide by funeral pyre. Mrs. Jane Duggan, 44, built a roaring bonfire and threw herself on top of it. everything from lelangee- lasis to ingrown toenails. I mean tha joint was really swinging. One of the papers was pre sented by Capt. Rupert Sti vers, chief podiatrist at the U.S. Military Academy, who made a study of foot troubles at West Point. I rie louno inai almost nan I of the cadets he examined had foot aliments and that 54 per cent of the conditions, give or take a fallen arch or two, stemmed from the shoes and socks they were issued. This, of course, comes as no surprise to anyone who ever wore a pair of Army shoes. Stivers further found that when black cotton stockings wore used at the Point, the number of foot complaints was cut in half. Too bad that Stivers didn't try white cotton stockings. That might have cleared up the trouble entirely Another speaker, Dr. Jo seph R. Cinzio of Passaic, N.J., took issue with tha widely accepted theory that picking up marbles with your toes is beneficial ex ercise for foot contractures. Curling your toes, he as serted, stimulates the muscles that are helping to cause the pain. The most effective ex ercise, according to Dr. Cin zio, is a stretching, or as he put it, "fanning" of the toes. I felt it my duty as a re porter to pass this information along, but I'll tell you right now you're never going to catch me fanning my toes. I couldn't do it even if I want ed to. I tried it experimentally when I left the convention and the results were unsatis factory, both physically and aesthetically. I found that I could fan all right with the little pigi.v , that went to market, but tha little piggy that cried all thfl way home wouldn't fan at all. Ml on Bell & Howell 253RV MOVIE PROJECTOR!
