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

But if you can tolerate feet,

New examinations for sev

open, according to L. B. Nel

Medford post office.
Open are the positions of

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.
