Police said all three had records. ( Police gave this account of the robbery: Guards Stanleys J. Klodzlnski, 32, Kenneth A. Kemp, 31, and 'Clo hessy rove up to the garage and vault with the Fort Erie receipts In six strong boxes. They were met a the driveway by guard Edward J. Thompson, Clohessy entered through a side door. He passed through four security-lock doors to a turret from which the main garage door is controlled. Kemp drove Into the garage. As Clohessy locked the heavy garage door, the others began to unload the locked boxes, . The three bandits leaped from behind a parked armored truck. They covered the guards with a submachlnegun, a carbine and a pistol. "All right, line up against the wall," one ordered. "We mean business. We'll blow your brains out." Clohessy opened the security turret door and was sent reeling back by a machine-gun slug. He slammed the bulletproof door and sounded a telegraph alarm that summoned police and private police agencies. The bandits shoved two money boxes Jut of a window, disarmed the captive guards and leaped out. Clohessy opened ' the security turret and handed Thompson his gun. Kemp 'ripped a pistol from an arms locker and Klodzlnski retrieved his gun from the truck. They found one of the money o o o o 0 TO oFIND THAT HOME NEAR SCHOOL boxes en the sidewalk and the second one a block away. The bandits commandeered a car but it wouldn't start. Then they turned to an automobile driven by Edward Craven, 43. He was riding with his wife Ruth, 41, and daughter Eileen, 10. One of the bandits told Mrs. Craven: "Don't worry, lady, we won't hurt you. We need a car and we'll have '.t back to you In a little while." The pursuing guards turned in to the street at this moment and opened Sire. They pursued the car and exhausted their ammunition. Then a police car Joined the chase. The cars squealed Into a narrow street of Buffalo's lower West Side, where the bandits leaped out and scattered. , . Pettinato ran Into a back yard and asked Mrs. Asjgelo Alba to hide him. She refused and tied. He went into her cellar. He sur rendered meekly to police, who pursued him. "Don't shoot," Pettinato cried from the basement. "It's me, Tony."

Prison Forgery Ring Probed ANOOLA, La. 141 Louisiana penitentiary officials today began burrowing through five yeara or more of records for further evi dence of a forgery ring that freed at least a dozen convicts before their time. For payments of 1200 to (300. convict clerks in the ring erased records and Invented new ones to reduce sentences and alter crimes of Inmate customers. In one case, a man sentenced to 10 years for armed robbery had his sentence shortened to two years and his offense changed to simple burglary. The forgeries came to light when Warden Maurice Sigler, a veteran of the federal prison system, be came Auspicious of a clumsy erasure on the records of a man scheduled to be freed Tuesday. Prison officials said the convict turned out to be a contact man for the ring, soliciting business among the 3,000 Inmates on the 18,000-acre prison farm. Fugitive warrants were Issued for seven men given gift reprieves by the ring. Records of all con victs In the past five yea.-o will be checked. Three ring leaders and four oth ers thought to be dickering for en early confinement. One had $300 in his shoe. , ' Special Investigator Sergeant Pitcher said alterations ranged from crude, hasty erasures on the folder arid top sheets to complete substitution of files.

Photo by Bob Hildenbrandt Officials Explain Changes in Unemployment Benefits Longer disqualification periods and actual forfeiture of benefits will confront claimants under the state's changed unemployment law, the Oregon Unemployment Com pensation Commission is reminding tome 18,000 employers and 400,000 covered workers. In training sessions conducted in several areas over the past, few weeks, officials have been dis cussing with claims-takers in 26 local offices the wide effects of the 1955 Legislative Amendments, many of wnicn Decome law Wednesday. While potential benefits can be forfeited only where a discharge for misconduct, or failure to apply for or accept suitable work is in volved, the disqualification period has been uniformly extended to eight weeks in all cases. Disqualifications will start only when claimants apply for corripen satlon. During this period, the claimant either must , work In covered employment or report weekly to the local office.

Another section taking effect at once will cancel prior wage credits for those convicted of fraud In ob. talning compensation. Not until the fund is reimbursed for these payments will such claimants again become eligible for benefits. The penalty for misrepresentation remains unchanged at m weeks. Workers receiving v"atlon dismissal pay, old age Insurance or other special allowances now are entitled to benefits only on a pro rata basis. Attachment to the labor market must be shown In certain retirement cases. Employers also will feel the ef feet of the August 3 changes when relief from charges no longer are made against their - experience rating reserves. Only 63 per cent of benefit payments have been en tered, against individual accounts in recent years, But officials ex pect the proportion to pass 80 per cent under new regulations. Higher benefit schedules, in creased minimum qualifying an nual wages, and extensions in em plovers, coverage are among pro visions that become effective next Januavy 1. Although changes have been made at every legislative ses sion since- the law was first enacted in 1935, this is by far the most complete "overhauling."

Gallagher as saying he "would probably have to pay for what he did as a POW when he got back." During the court-martial trial of Gallagher yesterday, John N, Wil lis testified that Gallagher also told him In the Red FOW camp the Korean oonfllct "was a sense less war that we had no business being over tlwre."

Willis described his reaction to the eight-man court-martial: "I Just got mad, cussed to my self and walked off." The tall, red-haired Gallagher, whose home Is In Brooklyn, is charged with having thrown three sick men out of their shelter Into the freezing cold In February 1951 at uamp no, o near ryoktong, Korea. i The men who died were Cpl, Donald T.

Both Harvill and Shoulders had been questioned previously about the slaying. Bobby Davis Martin, 37-year-old St.Louls cab driver, al ready was under a murder charge in the case.

Tie rate by half a percentage point In one step. Increases by the other reserve banks are expected to follow soon. This move, designed as a curb on Inflation, followed closely the tightening oi aown payment ana mortgage terms on government- insured housing loans last Satur day. Also, the Federal Reserve Board and the comptroller of the currency have dispatched letters to banks cautioning against over liberal terms on auto purchases and other Installment eredit. The . government also has tightened up on credit buying of stocks. Tne discount rate has been li per cent since last April and May, when the reserve banks raised it from l1,,. Another boost was gen erally expected, but not until later and not by differing amounts in tne reaerai reserve cities. That hasn't occurred since World War n. Variations are based on a bank's appraisal of the money supply In its area. A Dank increases Its lual re serves by borrowing from Its reg ional reserve Dank, sinee tne borrowing bank is required to keep 20 In reserve against every 1100 loaned out, the money It receives from the reserve bank means that it can lend five times that amount to businessmen. Each loan made to a business man also has a multiplying effect, because the ordinary borrower usually, writes a oheck which Is deposited In a second bank. The second bank's reserves are thus Increased, and also Its lending ' power. This may continue through a long series of loans and deposits, each representing an expansion of credit. Member banks recently have been borrowing as much as two million dollars a week from the reserve institutions, although the level dropped to 195 million dollars in the week ended July 27. By making It more costly to borrow, the reserve banks hope to uiscourage wnai one official called "excesses" of borrowlnir some times for speculative purposes without unduly tightening up credit iur legiumaio ousiness neeas such ns building up stocks for Christmas ousiness. Officials have been concerned over the rapid rise In bank credit oxtended to consumers.
