track receipts last night. Two were
captured after a gun battle. The
loot was recovered.
The bandits, cll.d In silk-stocking
masks and armed with a sub
machlnegun, broke Into the
Blink's, Inc., garage and vault
before the car ai rived with almost
$498,000 in receipts from the Fort
Erie race track Just across the
Niagara River in Canada. Three
Brink's employes were on the
truck. .....
Two of the holdup men were
captured a half hour later after
an 11-block running gun battle. '
"I thought I was a dead man,"
said Eugene Clohessy, 27, the
wounded guard.
"Saw 'em and pulled my .38 but
before I could fire a shot the guy
with the tommy gun got me in
the shoulder."
Clohessy was reported in good
condition at Emergency Hospital
today with a chest wound.
The bandits were identified by
police as Anthony Pettinato, 39,
Baltimore, and Sylvester Mazella,

They were held without charge. I
An alarm was sent out for James
Sheridan, alias Jim Salemerlo, of
New York City.
Pettinato and Mazella were cap
tured In private homes. The third
man, believed to have been wound
ed, fled around a corner, stag
gered into a houe and told the
occupant he had suffered a heart
attack. A half hour later be called
a taxi and escaped. 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

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."
Mazella dashed into a basement

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. Including
commitment papers, FBI records
and prison papers.

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. Past
disqualification periods were gen.
erally shorter and were figured

mitted. . .
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."

Prison Camp
Events Told
NEW YORK UO A fellow pris
oner has quoted Sgt. James C.
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

told him In the Red FOW camp
the Korean oonfllct "was a sense
less war that we had no business

murder" of three Americans at
the POW camp
Willis, from Lexington, N.C.,

muntsm as "a better form of gov
ernment than we had" and, on
another occasion told him: "If you
cooperate with the Chinese you
get better chow and better living
conditions."
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

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

Officials have been concerned
over the rapid rise In bank credit
oxtended to consumers. The total
expanded by about one billion
dollars in the first half of this year,
mostly in the form of Installment
