But today the golden image of the bold bandits was turning into brass. The miracle in Man hattan had become a comedy of errors. It was not exactly a laughing matter, not with an estimated $3 million worth of loot involved, but it was a bun gled job. And all because of an auto mobile that had become some thing of a relic in these days of automatic transmission and power steering. The wrong man was in the driver's seat of the getaway car, a station wagon loaded with the stolen diamonds, em eralds, rubies and gold. He was unfamiliar with shitting gears and could not get the car roll ing. He gunned the motor and the vehicle jerked forward a few feet and stalled. It happened repeatedly.

"How do you get this damned thing to go?" Empty-Handed One of the men made a vul gar remark. Without another glance, the driver got out of die station wagon and sprinted empty-handed down the street. The workers examined the car and helped themselves to the loot. "A grab bag situation devel oped," said Capt. Charles C. Holt Jr. of the detective devi sion. "It was finders keepers." He emphasized that many of the workers neither witnessed the heist nor took place in the looting, but several stuffed handfuls of Jewels diamonds, emeralds, a few rubies into their pockets. They left behind bars of jcwelei's gold and the gems they could not easily carry away. None returned' be cause they figured police would show up at any minute. Some hid the jewels in the building being torn down. Others took them home. One even took gems to his weekend To Cut Funds Rep. Vernon W.

Another man had more then $200,000 worth in a briefcase. Real Story Late Monday night, Die real story the story of the "badly bungled" heist began to seep out. It came from two separate sources. One a witness who talked to a private detective, and the other a demolition worker who "got a snootful" in a Manhattan bar and talked too much. The demolition worker, well in his cups, started bragging to his buddy. "We saw it all," he said. "And we got all the loot while the real bandits got nothing." His buddy called police. The other witness was a de molition worker who, apparent ly, had no part in the looting. He told private detective An thony Negri, 28, he had seen a station wagon near the robbery scene. Several men were near it, he said, looking ill at ease. One man, the witness said, stashed a briefcase in an old boiler lying discarded on the lot. Negri found the briefcase, tilled with jewels, in the boiler and called police. By dawn Tuesday, dozens of detectives and FBI agents, dressed in neat business suits, were probing the debris with shovels, long poles and with their hands. At least five demolition work ers admitted their part in the looting, and led the detectives to hiding places. Some were ac companied home to get dia monds and emeralds that had been hidden in teapots and cookie jars. Hidden jewels were unearthed In the ruins of the building be ing torn down. A pump was rushed in to drain the basement of several feet of water. A fil ter was placed over the hose to catch any .loose gems. Some workers didn't realize this, and stationed themselves down stream to catch any diamonds that might come floating by. Police found no gems in the basement, but they did find silverware knives, forks and spoons that had not been re ported stolen in this robbery. Police figured they had recov ered at least 85 per cent of the loot. One high official said, how ever, that not all of It was re covered and most likely the rest will never be found. HELD OVER!

Calif. LPI - Po lice today had their second ma jor break in as many days in the baffling disappearance of a University of California coed who dropped from sight 16 days ago en route to classes in neigh boring Berkeley. Police late Tuesday night found two text books carried by 18-year-old Judith Williamson the morning she vanished. Both books were splattered with blood. Chief Ralph Jensen confirmed the finding of the books, but he refused to reveal where they were found or who found them. "We have some pretty good leads," Jensen said, "and we don't want to spook anybody." On Monday, an 11-year-old boy turned over to police an umbrella Judith had been car rying the day of her disappear ance. He said he had found the umbrella in a trash can three days after the attractive coed was reported missing. Discovery of the books and the umbrella strengthened fears by police that the girl was the victim of an attack. Judith left her home at 7: 10 a.m. Oct. 29 for a five-block walk to catch a bus for the uni versity. . Later, two persons told of seeing a car following Judith as she walked toward the bus stop and a third said he saw a girl who could have been Judith struggling in a convertible with a man shortly after she van. ished.

Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., said Tuesday night that he would en ter most state primaries if he becomes a candidate for presi dent. He first said he would enter "all state primaries" if he be came a candidate, but then qualified his answer under questioning by newsmen. Goldwater said he did not plan to enter the Wisconsin pri mary, because, he said, 60 far he has backed the "favorite son", drive for Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis.

Rockefeller, predict ing he has a good chance to win the Republican presidential nomination despite his tinder dog role, left today for a round of campaign speeches in Flo rida. In Miami, Rockefeller will address an editors meeting and will tape two television inter views for rebroadcast later be fore returning to New York to night. "Yes, I think I do," Rocke feller said when asked whether he thought he had a good chance to win. The New York governor ad mitted that Sen. Barry Gold water. R-Ariz., was the front runner in tlie Republican presi dential sweepstakes, but added "I still have nine months to go." He was asked about the pos sibility of former Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon being selected as a compromise can didate should a deadlock de velop at the nominating conven tion. "I don't think there will be a compromise candidate," he re plied. Rockefeller picked up some political support Tuesday from Maryland. Baltimore Mayor Theodore McKeldin, who nominated Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower at the 1952 GOP convention, later gave Rockefeller a qualified en dorsement, saying he was "the best man for the Republican nomination." "I can't say that about the others," MoKeldin added. "Un til I find a better qualified man, I am for Governor Rocke feller." Presidential adviser Mc Georgc Bundy and White House Press Secreatary Pierre Salin ger will represent Kennedy at the Honolulu session, at which Assistant Secretary of State Roger Hilsman aiso will be present. Rusk and McNamara were said to be particularly anxious to get Lodge's assessment of the probable course of tlie military junta now running South Viet Nam and the provisional gov ernment it created. There is still some apprehen sion here that personal rivalries among the revolutionary gener als might lead to instability. Of- Denies Report Tlie Military Assistance Com mand denied that any such par agraph was included in the re port originally and thus no de letion was made. It issued this statement on the coup: "The Revolutionary Military Committee (which staged the coup) advised the Military As sistance Command headquarters of the coup at 1:45 p.m., on Nov. 1, which was approximate ly the time of their initial at tack. "At the time, they regretted not having been able to take the Military Assistance Command headquarters into their confi dence, but considered absolute secrecy paramount to the suc cess of their plan." Tlie statement said tlie U S military had been told of troop movements on the morning of the coup "but the cover plan ning had been so well conceived and executed that the immin ence of a coop d'etat was not apparent." The sources said Harkins was not taken into tlie confidence of the coup leaders because they considered him too closely con nected to the Diem government. They said U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge was kept up with coup plans and told to ANNUITIES? HAVI THI MST tiultikltl Ltvinu Ifitvrirxt John H.

He mentioned specifically entering the Oregon, California and Indiana primaries "if it be comes necessary." It would "become necessary," he said, "if you're a candidate." Goldwater said he has not pushed up his previously an nounced January date for decid ing whether to enter the presi dential sweepstakes. He said his latest date was Jan. 27, the deadline for filing in Illinois. The Arizona Republican said he saw no advantage in becom ing the first person to an nounce. New York Gov. Nelson A.

Wheat Deal Seems Near WASHINGTON a PI I The first agreement by a private concern for sale of American wheat to the Soviet Union is ex pected to be announced at any time. It is likely to be followed by other deals. Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges said Tuesday that in the wake of a general agree ment over how the sales and shipments may be handled, a Russian delegation probably al ready has "worked out one or more deals" w ith private U.S. grain traders. Hodges told a news confer ence that the Commerce De partment expects to approve shortly the first formal applica tion for a wheat shipment to Russia. The Soviets are expect ed to buy about a quarter million dollars worth of Ameri can surplus grain. Hodges said the government has received from 12 to 15 other applications for permission to ship various farm commodities, including wheat, corn, soybeans and tobacco, to Soviet bloc countries. About a third of tlie ship ments are destined for Hun gary. There also are requests, he said, for approval of ship ments to Bulgaria, Czechoslo vakia and East Germany. ficials said, however, there had been no evidence of this so far. McNamara will return to Washington after the one-day session in Hawaii. Rusk, how ever, w ill go on to Tokyo to at tend a meeting of the U.S.-Ja-pan Committee on Economic Affairs. The State Department said Tuesday it was not certain whether Lodge would come on to Washington, but officials said today he probably would. He had been scheduled to return Nov. 3 for consultations but de layed the trip when the coup erupted. Surprise days before the revolt when it would occur. Sources in the new military government of South Viet Nam said junta leaders have made it clear to tlie U.S. Embassy that they privately regard Harkins as a symbol of tlie old U.S. pol icy of support for the Diem re gime, although they have made no specific desires known to the embassy concerning Harkins' future in Viet Nam. As head of the Military Assist ance Command. Harkins has charge of the 15.000 U.S. offi cers and soldiers serving as ad visers to the Vietnamese army in the war against tlie Com munist guerrillas.
