Prison Chiefs
Find Network
WETHERSK1ELD. 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.

property tax on the boats.
Under terms of the 1959 act.

real estate fortune in 20 years.
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

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."

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."
