whisked there by helicopter
from her Squaw Island sum
mer home in Hyannis Port
shortly after 11:30 a.m. (edt).
Because it was born prema
turely and appeared to be
having breathing problems,
the child was baptized a short
time after birth by the Rev.
John Scahill, of Portland, Me.,
Catholic chaplain at Otis. He
was named for Kennedy's
grandfather, Patrick J., and
father, Joseph Patrick, as well
as for Mrs. Kennedy's father
whose surname was Bouvicr.
Father Scahill said the new
born child looked "like Win
ston Churchill," adding that
all new-borns have that look.
He said that the newest
member of the Kennedy clain
looked like a healthy infant
despite the respiratory ail
ment. Salinger told reporters In
Boston Wednesday night that
the infant, in a private room
on the fifth floor of the Chil
dren s Medical Center, was
suffering from an "idiopathic
respirato r.y distress syn
drome." Respiratory Problem
"In laymen's language, this
is a respiratory problem which
causes a problem in breath
ing," Salinger said. "It is not
uncommon ... in premature
children."
Later Salinger told United
Press International that while
it is not uncommon "it is
still a cause for concern."
Salinger said that in these
cases "it takes approximately
four days for this situation to
develop in such a way that
the doctors can make a final
diagnosis."
"Is it on the danger list?"
a reporter asked.
"I would not say that," Sal
inger replied. "Nobody that
I talked to has."

Hearing on Water
District Continued
By County Court
The hearing on the propos
ed West Side Water district
was continued yesterday, ac
cording to County Judge Earl
J. Miller.
He predicted more public
hearings would be held with
residents and property own
ers of the area to determine
more exactly how many peo
ple are for and against the
proposed district.
"A total of 128 people of
that area signed petitions fa
voring the district formation
and calling for a public hear
ing." the county judge said.
"Of those 12B, 103. or
three over the legal limit,
were found to be legally reg
istered voters.
It takes 50 per cent of the
egally registered voters of
the area or 100 persons to
make the petition acceptable.
Receives Letters
The county judge also has
received two letters seeking
inclusion in the proposed dis
trict. One petition for exclu
sion was presented to the
county court, Miller said.
Meanwhile, the county
court has asked County En
gineer Robert J. Carstenscn
to make a topographical sur
vey of the area. Cards will
be sent out to the 485 regis
tered voters of the area, also
to determine their feelings
on the proposed district.
Judge Miller noted that
the new fiscal year budget ef
fective July 1 includes $25,-
000 for a "Bear Creek basin"
water and sanitation study by
an engineering firm. Another
$25,000 would be allocated
for the next fiscal year to
ward the overall estimated
cost of $57,000. The survey
would probably take two
years, Miller said.

Larger Estate
Tax Gets Approval
Washington - lUPD - The
House Ways and Means com
mittee has voted an added tax
on large estates left to heirs
by persons who die in 1965
and thereafter.
The proposal applies only
to estates which include se
curities and property that has
increased in market value
during the lifetime of the
owner.
Approved Wednesday by a
14-11 vote, the committee
plan would require the heir
to pay a capital gains tax on
some of the "paper profits"
earned by the deceased.
Under the present tax law,
the liability for these profits
is wiped out when the owner
dies. If the new owner sells
the property he must pay a
capital gains tax only on prof
its resulting from a rise in
the value of the property
since he inherited them.
There is no exemption from
the provision of the commit
tee plan. Any property ac
quired by the descendent prior
to 1951 would not be affectcl.

Find No Trace
Of Robbery Gang
Almost $3 Million
Estimated in Loot
Cheddington, England -flJPD
An armed gang of 20 to 30
masked bandits staged a rob
bery that may have been the
biggest haul in history today
when they looted an unguard
ed train of cash and gems
estimated at almost $3 mil
lion.
The robbers staged their
Wild West-type raid with
split-second precision in the
middle of the night and made
their getaway with 120 mail
sacks containing currency and
diamonds from the Glasgow-
lo-London train.
Police searched this region
north of London, but found
no trace of the holdup gang
that operated in Jesse James
style and fled in three trucks
and a passenger car,
Reward Offered
The post office offered a
$28,000 reward for them and
estimated that the loot may
well run into seven figures
which would make it at least
one million pounds, or $2.8
million, .
No Guards Aboard
A spokesman said there
were no guards aboard the
train which was a "traveling
post office" with about 75
postal employees aboard. The
spokesman- said there never
were guards on these trains,
since pit :was felt the large
force of mail sorters normally
was sumcient to keep watch.
The gang halted the train,
overcame the engineer and
fireman, uncoupled the en
gine and first two cars, and
moved them a mile down the
tracks." Then thev ouipltlv
Iswept'iup 120 mall sacks and
I made their getaway In three
1 army-style trucks and a pas
senger car.
So swiftly and smoothly
did the Kane work that the
post office employees, all but
four in the rear cars, were '
unaware of the robbery until
it waa over.
The incident took place
near this Buckingham shire
town 40 miles north of Lon
don about 3:10 a.m. In a
fashion as spectacular as any
of. the great train robberies
pulled off in the days of the
desperadoes of the American
West.
Obviously well-planned, the
robbery went off with split-
second precision. It was the
first attack on an all-mail
train in the 125 years of their
history in Britain.
First, the robbers jumped
the signalman on that sec
tion of the line and set the
block signals at "danger,"
bringing the mail train to a
alt three miles from Leigh-
ton Buzzard.
When the fireman, David
Whitby, 26,. climbed down
from the cab of the diesel en
gine to investigate, he was
attacked and overcome by two
of the bandits.
The engineer. Jack Mills,
35, then was seized.
The robbers swiftly and
expertly uncoupled the en
gine and first two mail cars,
and forced Mills at gunpoint
to drive them a mile down
the track to where their com
patriots were waiting.
