bers on three machines, he said. He
expects to link them with more
cars, he said, and investigations at
Louisville may cause the federal
government to take interest in the
case.
Those arrested at New Albany are
Sam S. Sherflck Jr. and Allen Mel
ton, who have been in the garage
business there for the last four or
five months.
Obtaining a set of steel dies from
a mail order house, they have taken
stolen machines and stamped motor
of wrecked or burned cars
on them, the alleged confession said
to be signed by Sherf1ck, states.
Several jobs we're reprinted and
every possible disguise given them
according to Bridges. That the
three machines are only part Of the

Floyd Andrews, alias j. Adams,

man being held at Logansport. He

Roush pleaded guilty to cashing

Rockefeller Year Farther
in Determination to
Reach 100 Mark.
KEPT HAPPY BY GOLF
Makes Plans to Observe
Birthday Quietly at
His Estate.
BY PAUL w. WHITE
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, July IA year far
Their along in his determination to
reach the century mark, John d.
Rockefeller ST.. will celebrate his
9lst birthday on Tsaes,:1y.
The events of the past twelve
month have revealed him to be still
as unpredictable as in the DAYS
when he startled the world by
amaSsing incredible wealth and
then further amazed it by giving
away undreamed of sums. as when
he heard from famous physicians
that he had not long to live and
then confused them by becoming
singularly hale.
One might expect, for instance.
that a retired oil millionaire also
would be retiring, especially in his
9lSt year. But an ordinarily placid
regime occasionally proves bore
some to the nonogenarian.
Exploits Surprise World
That accounts for such exploits
as a ride in an airplane 1even

ground, the making of a newsreeI
"talkie,'' the issuance of a state
ment generally credited with aiding
recovery of the stock market in the
panlcky days of last November and
Inc giving away Of nickeIS last
Easter When every one knows he
always gives away dimes.
Thus when announcement is
made that Rockefeller plans to OBJ
serve his birthday quietly and
does not intend to leave his Po-
cantlco Hills estate, around the
stone walls and iron gates of which
reporters and photographers are
certain to be grouped, there exists
some doubt.

Will play until about noon.
In Best of Health
After a light luncheon he will
spend the afternoon with his fam
lIy. Despite the absence of his son
John D. Jr., who is in the west
the usual birthday dinner will be
served at night in the main man
sion of the spacious residence near
Tarrytown. Among the guests will
be Mrs. Rockefeller Jr., several of
her children, Mr.. and Mrs. David
Milton and their daughter, Abbie
Rockefeller Milton.
At the Rockefeller estate it was
said he is in "the best of health"
and that he continues to ascribe
this happy condition largely to the
benef1cent effects of golf.
His addiction to this game, Incl
dentally, shows no decline with the
passing years. He generally shoots
48 or so for eight holes and al
though his drives are short, they
are remarkably accurate. He shoots
slowly and he likes to win and twit
his opponents if he succeeds in
doing so.
Virtually every fair day, In the
summer at Pocantico Hills, or in
the winter at Ormond Beach, Fla,
finds him out on the course.
