Take Safety On Your Vacation
Planning to take the family on
vacation trip in the car?
Here are some suggestions for
a pleasant and safe trip from
County Home Demonstration Agent,
Florence Y. Smith:
If possible, leave early you'll
find traffic lighter and it'll be
cooler, too. While you're still fresh,
you can put on a lot of miles. Then
during the heat of the day, you can
take it easier. Stop often when
the weather is hot One way to
cool off is to park the car in a
shaded spot and walk around a
bit When you get on the road
again, you'll be more refreshed,
more alert, and more relaxed.
To make travelling more enjoy
able for each member of the FAM
lily, take surprise packages along
for the children. Some new toy can
keep them interested for miles.
Never drive when you're tired or

Just before noon on Friday,
July l, an armored car stopped
at the north entrance of the
Health, Education and Welfare
Department Building at 800
Independence avenue S.W.
Three armed guards entered the
building, carrying $50,000.
The money was being brought
from the American Security
and Trust Co. to the Employees
Association Service Center on
a mezzanine a few feet inside
the front door.
The $4,000 was intended for
cashing employees pay checks
on July 5 after the long holiday
week end.
But nobody cashed a check
in the center when Tuesday
came.
Somebody had gotten past
a supposedly locked door, either
opened the safe with the COM
bination or found it unlocked,
and escaped undetected with a
total Of $50,606.13 and some
checks.

DAREDEVIL AT IS
Her Job Hangs by a Foot

On weekdays you'll find
Francine Russell sitting quietly
in the classroomS of Alexan-
dria's Hammond High School,
where she is one Of many
sophomores.
But on Sundays 15-year-old
Francine has a job where all
thoughts of school are far re-
moved. She hangs head down
from an airplane as it flies on
it's back at 140 miles an hour,
20 feet above the ground.
Francine is a wing walker
with an aerial circus perform
er, and those who have seen
her in action say she's one of
the best.
Flying upside down takes a
level head, even if the rest Of
the body isn't" Pilot Mel Rob-
inson says, "and that's what
Francine has"
He might have added that, in
wing-walking, you also have
to have nerves of steel. And
Francine has them.
She stands on the top wing
of a beefed-up Stearman BIZ
plane, fastened in place by
four slender cables, while Mr..
Robinson throws the World
War II vintage craft through
a series of rolls and loops.
A couple of months ago,
Francine had never thought Of
becoming a stunt flyer.
She and a friend went to an
air show at Wayside, Md,
where Mr.. Robinson was per-
forming.
Mr.. Robinson saw her and
asked if she'd like to ride on
the plane.
IT talked it over with my
parents" Francine said, land
they said it was all right. I've
been flying with him most
every weekend since.
I've always wanted to do
something connected with show
business, and that's what I'm
doing"
She confessed she is afraid
until the plane gets into the
air.
When it does loops, it's hard
to tell whether you're upside
down or right side up" she
says. But like it because it's
different.
The first time I flew with
Mel I was too scared to look
! at anything around me-"
Il tucked my head down. All
I can remember is reading the
words 81 octane 96 octane' on
the wing between my feet" she
recalls.

expert, said all six of the en-
ployes of the center voluntarily
submitted to polygraph tests.
The results were negative.
The questioning of employees,
guards and charwomen, as well
as former employees in the HEW
Building, has been repeated
time and again. 1t McCarty
said some of them are pretty
sick of seeing detectives by this
time.
How can the police be sure
the safe was locked or that the
door was locked?
1t. McCarty said. THE hu-
man memory is very tickle"
He said not many people
would have occasion to remem-
Der the details of a routine Fri
day on the following Tuesday
There is no reason to doubt the
recollections of the employees
that both safe and office door
were locked, he says.
But how did the intruder get
in the office and how was the
safe opened?
Any crime is perfect" until
it is solved.
Evening star., 1960-09-19

These questions Immediately
occurred to the Investigators:
How many people had &C
cess to a key to the office?
How many people knew the
combination of the safe?
How many people entered or
left the nearly deserted build
ing Friday night, Saturday,
Sunday, Monday or early
Tuesday?
1t. McCarty said one thing is
clear. No instruments were
used to open the safe. OBJ
viously it either was opened
by someone who knew the
combination or had been left
unlocked. The chances OF
anyone confronting a locked
safe and opening it without
the combination are slim, 1t.
McCarty said.
The safe-24 inches by 80
inches by 18 inches-was a
typical floor safe with q round
door. 1t normally would be con-
Sidered quite secure, police said
1t was busted for finger prints
but the only identifiable ones
belonged to persons who had
normal occasion to touch it
Evening star., 1960-09-19

There was no evidence that it
had been wiped clear of prints.
About the door to the office?
1t. McCarty said it had not
been forced. Two office en-
ployes had keys, he said, but
there is a pass key in the build
ing guards Office and it is nor
NAL for charwomen to clean
the Office in which the safe re-
poses. The door was no help.
The combination of the safe
gave police food for thought.
Technically, 1t. mccarthy said
only two of the six employees
were supposed to know the
combination. But in an office
where people work in close con-
tact with one another, some
things easily can become COM
mon knowledge.
What of persons who were in
the building over the long
week end?
Police have boriously
checked out everyone who
might have been in the building
and have found nothing unduly
suspicious.

partment's lie detector machine

joy the job. She even likes the
finale of the show, when Mr..
Robinson throws the plane on
it's back, dives to 20 feet and
roars over the field at 140 miles
an hour.
Yesterday Francine's act stole
the show in a two-hour air
show at South Norfolk CVa0
airport. She also enjoys the
part in the show where she
parachutes to the ground.
Francine lives at 3444 Larch-
mont avenue, Alexandria.

doesn't interfere with school,

mates think she's crazy"
