: Partridge, 38, and the father of
five children, "quickly confessed"

uncovered about $7,000 in loo I
from secret hiding places, Crites!

The bandmaster kept saying "1
don't know anything about it" un
til he was confronted with the
money, the sheriff said. He was
charged with a $12,782 robbery of
the Bank of Chaffee, Mo., and i
$'j,637 holdup of the Bank of Ad
vancc, Mo.

Glen Gray, whose Casa Loma or
chestra was for two decades one
of the finest in the "big band"
era, died Friday at Jordan Hos
pital here. He was 63.
Born in Roanoke. 111.. Gray-
worked as a freight handler after
he graduated from high school
and played a saxophone in his
spare time. He finally formed a
group known as "Spike's Jazz
Band."
It was the beginning of a long
musical career that led to the
movies, a number of hit record
ings and widespread popularity
among tlie college set.
Gray studied at the American
Conservatory of Music after
forming his first small group,
then joined Jean Goldkette's
"Orange Blossoms" as a saxo
phone player. In 1929 the
"Orange Blossoms" became the
famed Casa Loma orchestra
Gray retired and moved here
in 1950.
When the Casa Loma band was
at the top, it played in virtually
every top theater and dance pa
vilion. Some of its famous recordings
were "Smoke Rings," "It's the
Talk of the Town." "No Name
Jive" and "Casa Loma Stomp."
Gray came out of retirement in
1936 to supervise a number of re
cording sessions which featured
the original Casa Loma "sound"
as well as tributes to other bands
of the 19.'i0's. His most recent al
bum was released only two weeks
ago.
Many well known musical per
sonalities at one time worked
with Grav. Thov included Bix
Beiderbccke. Mildred Bailey.

Sacramento River bursts from

Evcritt Memorial Highway car
ries thousands of people every
year up to Mt. Shasta.
But at the northeast corner of
this hill is a landmark that is
famous, too. It is an old powder
magazine.
Like most powder magazines.
this one carries a rounded roof
and cast-iron doors. Made of
rock, its rear end is rammed into
the hillside.
But unlike most powder houses,
it was not built to hold explo
sives used in mining or in railway
construction. This house was built
for the use of Henry J. Kaiser,
famed industrialist.
It is not well known that Kaiser
in his earlier days was a con
struction contractor. He built
miles of U.S. Highway 99 and
paved the streets of Mount
Shasta.
This was long before Kaiser
built concrete ships, numerous
hotels, pineapple plantations and
automobiles. But his fame began
with laying slabs of concrete over
the streets we use here every
day. Mount Shasta was a spring
board from which he leaped to
immortality. The picturesque
powder magazine was one of his
aids.
One of Kaiser s aides was
Winford Berg. Berg never left
Mount Shasta. He developed the
new subdivision, Christmas Mea
dows Estate, which recently sold
for the biggest, richest subdivi
sion in Northern Calilnrma.
Berg used that magazine in his
labors for Kaiser.
The old magazine is still ship
shape and may well last for
handling explosives for the sub
division, going down in history
as the old stone house that built
Mount Shasta, paved it, then
added to its growth.

230 persons would require hospit
al care for the "usual" ailments.
"However," he added, "these
people will be traveling from long
distances on what may be a hot,
humid day and will be congre
gated under conditions which
make it essential for us to plan
for any eventualities."
As local officials continued to
plan for the demonstration, march

They announced that they will
see President Kennedy at the
White House at 5 p.m. EDT, one

Two of the Communist guards

The escapees overwhelmed the
second guard, daslKd on to tlie
bridge, and scrambled over the
wall. As they fought their way
through the barbed wire on top,
the guards discovered the at

voes mm their machine.
However, none of the estimated
20 shots found their mark and the
escapees tumbled into West Ber
