HAYWARD Cal Feb 14 — (JP)
— When H D Rife was attached
to the big aircraft carrier Lexing-
ton before the war he often
walked along the Long Beach
Cal pike while on liberty
And he often stopped to chat
with an elderly woman who liked
to sun herself on a bench
Today Rife said he learned that
the woman who died last year
had willed him a third of her es-
state — a share that amounts to
$437500
Her will mentioned: "Mr Rife
reminded me of my boy and I did
enjoy our little talks of ships and
adventure”
Rife 29 is an auto spray painter
at nearby San Leandro
He said a New York law firm
advised him of the will left by
his benefactor Mrs Emma Rivers
who died July 28 1958 at Og-
densburg New York He was one
of three to share the estate
The law firm said that after
state and federal inheritance
should get about
taxes Rife
$288000
Rife told
didn’t even
reporters today he
know the -woman’s
name when he used to visit with
her on the park bench In Long
Beach Her attorneys said she
had written down his service se-
rial number
Mrs Rivers’ will continued:
“I leave this share of my estate
to a fine young man who with so
many places to go and so many
things to see still found time to
put a little more happiness into
lonely old lady’s heart”

and came to stop on the top with
the wheels extending in the air
The four men were forced to break
open a window in the car to make
their escape
When McClendon arrived at the
spot he noticed the car overturned
and got out to investigate None
of the four men were in or around
the car but the front seat was
blood spattered McClendon no-
tified the officers
Investigating officers retraced
the trail of the wild ride and found
where the four men had scattered
papers stamps and loose change
taken from the robbery at Semi-
nole along the two mile stretch of
road north from U S 70
Also thrown from the car as
the four suspects made their wild
ride was a huge quantity of nar-
cotics Some of the bottles con-
taining the drugs shattered and
spilled over the bar ditches
Officers retrieved approximately
$25 in silver thrown from the car
a number of stamps as well as
papers including a number of re-
ceipts from the Central Drug In
Seminole
Questioning one of the suspects
after the arrest of the entire crew
revealed that a bundle of checks
and insurance policies was hidden
in a thicket of trees south of V S
70 prior to the wild ride These
were recovered by Chief of Police
Hubert Bartlett and Officers Os-
car Wilkes The suspect who con-
fessed to the robbery at Seminole
took the two officers to the exact
spot the papers were hidden
The confessed man also told
the officers that a bundle of books
was also hidden a short distance
away but a search failed to locate
any such items
However the large sum of
money (mostly bills) taken in the
Seminole robbery has not been
recovered and officers believe the
loot was hidden in the vicinity
of the place where the papers
were found
The suspect who told of the
Seminole robbery also told officers
that the three men and an iden-
tified local resident were the same
gang which attempted to rob the
safe of the Texas Oil company-
warehouse last Saturday
Sources in Seminole said that
the four men who broke into the
Central Drug store there entered
the front door by breaking off a
padlock After this was accom-
plished the safecrackers placed a
new padlock on the door to offset
suspicion by investigating night-
watchman They then entered the building
leaving two men outside to watch
for the police while the other two
broke into two small safes con-
taining the narcotics the papers
and the money
The sources said the safecrack-
ers removed the pins from the
hinges of the two small safes to
gain entrance
Frank Tate owner of the drug
store said a complete inventorly
had not been made and the total
amount of dope or cash taken was
not available
Police Chief Lefty Jenkins of
Seminole started to Ardmore
Tuesday to question the men but
turned back because of icy roads
Perryman was captured shortly
after the report of the wreck yes-
terday morning hiding in a church
building
Mead was captured later when
he was found hiding in the root
supports of the Lincoln school
gym near Gene Autry
The two Bruner brothers were
captured at a local tourist court
after walking through the sub-
freezing temperatures from Gene
Autry The two called a cab at
the Bell Oil refinery and were
traced to the tourist court in
northeast Ardmore
Sheriff Jack Powledge said to-
day it was not decided whether or
not charges would be filed against
the men in Carter county but if
not they would be turned over to
Seminole officers as soon as road
and weather conditions permitted
E J Bruner was transferred to
the Love county jail The other
three are being held In the Car-
ter county jail pending the filing
of charges

Nearly as controversial la pro-
posed extension of tha present

This extended duty would apply
to all draftees national guards-
men and reservist now on duty
as well as those yet to be called
Eventually if the present world
wide tension ends this service
period could be cut back to a baste
training program of four to six
months No one expects that soon
Johnson said the committee’s
bill provides for congress to spell
out this order for future drafts:
First physlcaUy fit single men
from 19 through 25 second single
men 19 through 25 whose phys-
ical defects allow them to take
“limited duty” assignments third
married men 19 through 25 who
are neither fathers nor veterans
fourth the 18-year-olds begin-
ning with those nearest 19
“The choice is before us we
must have men” Johnson said
“Shall we call again upon our
generation of veterans or shall we
ask of the 18-year-olds the serv-
ice which in all momenta of peril
our men have traditionally pro-
vided at age 18?”
The UMTS bill would defer up
to 75000 of the draftees in each
of the next three years to let them
take college studiee as doctors
scientists and technicians This
would be after they had four
months basic training
