Conn. (API Slate Prison officials here have uncovered a secret radio network, run by and for prisoners, that was used to keep check on guards' movements. The network's tiny transmitters sent voice signals to every in mate's radio, but the weak beams did not penetrate the thick prison walls. None of the authorities here knew about the network until pris oners staged a riot Jan. 6. In the ensuing shakedown, the transmit tcrs were discovered. Warden Mark S. Richmond says that the transmitters were found inside radios belonging to certain prisoners. He said other prisoners who owned radios could pick up the broadcasts. "And almost every inmate had his own radio through which he could listen," the warden said. The prison has 750 inmates. Richmond said the network was used chiefly for keeping tabs on guards. If a prisoner were doing something wrong, and a guard headed his way, the prisoner would be informed via the network. The Jan. 6 uprising lasted a Jew hours. Although no one was ser iously injured, the building was damaged.

SACRAMENTO (UPD The state today got down to details i new registration act for small boats. An estimated 400.000 boat own ers in the state will be affected by the act, passed by the 1959 Legislature to relieve boaters from a confusion of boating laws on the county and local levels. However, the boaters still will have to register their crafts with counties, which collect personal property tax on the boats. Under terms of the 1959 act. registration was turned over lo the Department of Motor Vehicles which also registers California's estimated seven million cars and trucks. Director Robert McCarthy said the sign-up will be between March and April 1 for "all undocu mented boats using the waters of this stale as of April 1." There arc exceptions to the law. McCarthy said those exempted in cluded boats propelled solely by oars or paddles, sail boats eight teet or less propelled solely by sail, bonis propelled by electric motors of 10 horsepower or less, a ship's lifo boat and government- owned bouts. The registration fee Is $5. Yacht Clubbers To Install Klamath Yacht Club members will hold their annual installation dinner dance at the Yacht Club on Saturday, February 6, according to T. J.

Site was Roza Mambar who died Jan. 9 in her one-room apart ment at the age of 68. She lefti no will and a battle among pos sible heirs shaped up. Disclosure of the fabulously profitable investments of Miss Mambar came Wednesday when her bookkeeper, Efraim S. Morris petitioned court for appointment as general administrator of the estate. He said Miss Mambar's holdings at the time of her death included eight apartment houses containing 400 units, plus two shopping ccn tcrs in suburban Torrance and West Covina. "She wasn't interested in the money she made," said Morris. "It was just a fighting spirit she had to show that a woman can do just as well as or better than a man in business. "She had no vanities. She was not miserly. She just wanted to show she could make a success in business." Morris explained how Miss Mambar parlayed her small sav ings into a fortune: "She started with one apartment house. When she got a little equity in that she refinanced it and bought another and kept do ing it until she built up her for tune." Morris told Superior Judge Frank S. Balthis that $70,000 in uncashed checks, bond coupons and cash were found in her of-, (ice safe after her death. He es timatcd her annual income at about $400,000. "I used to urge her to make a will," said Morris, "but she just laughed and would kiddingly re mark that she might as well leave everything to her cat." Miss Mambar lived alone in her modest single - room apartment with Poochi, her cat of indeter mined breed. Morris said Miss Mambar was the daughter of Benzion Mambar, a Talmudic scholar in Lwow, Po land. She came to the United States in 1932 after receiving a degree in physics and mathema tics from the University of Vien na. She studied at Bryn Mawr, New York and Columbia univer sities before moving here with her small savings. Miss Mambar once told Morris she had two brothers and a sister. One of the brothers died early and the other was last heard from in Vienna in 1929, she told him, Morris said. An involved court battle for the estate loomed after an attorney appeared in court Wednesday and produced a telegram from a man -ia "Confound it, Crawford, Ice is slicker than it used to be!" Renovation (Continued from Page 1) (sewer construction) project and repair damaged roads." District directors were forced to decide upon a special levy after conclusive studies showed that more money was absolutely nec essary. "Generally," Gunderson said in behalf of district directors, "it is felt that the additional cost of the project through the tax levy will i.ot create undue concern. Money so raised will be spent wholly within the district, and the result ant improvement to streets and roads will benefit the area gener ally. : Creation of the sanitary dis trict has increased property val ues throughout the district, and the values will tend to increase steadily as land within the area under sewerage becomes less available. 'Once completed, the financial ability of the district will be well established with income more than sufficient to meet the needs of the operation."

Court observers said the estate probably would go to the state of California if no legitimate kinship claims can be proven.

Morris was appointed tem porary administrator with re sponsibility of looking out for Poochie the cat. ceremonies for the installation.

By JERRY SHEEHAN NEA Staff Correspondent MANSFIELD. Ohio (NEA) - Who was the man who telephoned Cadet Richard Cox on a Saturday 10 years ago? Officials at West Point would line to know. So would the FBI and the cadet's family. After he received the call, he went to dinner with a man known only as "George." Cox was never seen .again. His disappearance, without a single trace, has baffled authori ties for the past decade. His moth er in Mansfield still believes he is alive, perhaps' a victim of am nesia. As the FBI reconstructed events leading up to Cox's disappearance, here is what happened. On Saturday, Jan. 7, 1950, Cadet Cox, then in his second year at the Point, received a caller. The man was about five-seven, 145 pounds, dark-haired and rough-looking. A cadet standing nearby, re called that Cox said, "You're the last person 1 expected to see." Cox later told roommates that he knew "George" from his Army days in Germany. He said 'George" had a "morbid streak,' had bragged of committing atroci ies on German prisoners and of hanging his German girl friend when she became pregnant. On the following Saturday, Jan 14, Cox received another call presumably from "George." He told rommatcs that he was meet- ng the caller for dinner at the Thayer, a restaurant-hotel within the West Point gates. He dressed in his uniform, in luding gray cape overcoat, and igncd out for dinner at 6:17 p.m He left behind his watch, civil ian clothes and about $100 in cash in his dormitory room. No clues point to the possibility that he intended to "skip." Cox had told -rommatcs that he did not plan to see his visitor again because of his strange morbid streak. When the cadet failed to return the 15,000-acre military reservation was searched. But there was no sign of Cox. The authorities listed Cox as AWOL a technical status that per mitted the FBI to move into the case. Every cadet at West Point was queried about the disappearance. Two thousand Gls who had served in Germany during the war also were questioned about the identity of the mysterious "George." Nobody remembered him. Coxs high school sweetheart waited for a time, then married In the FBI identification bureau there is a flag on Cox's file. In coming fingerprints are checked against it. The odds against his being found grow each day. His mother, a widow, still hopes. "I don't know whether he is liv ing or not," she says, "but until. I know differently, I'll believe he is."
