Sd Gunmun
Is Captured

LYNDON STATION, Wis,
Aug. % (AP.-The last OF
three gunmen accused of killing
one policeman and wounding
another was found injured and
helpless in a swamp yesterday
by bloodhounds.
The capture of William We'll
ter, %, of Chicago. brought to
a close one of Wisconsin's larg-
est manhunts. Police and vol
unteers had combed the resort
area of Central Wisconsin since
the officers we're shot down at
nearby Lake Delton a week ago
today.
The first member of the trio
arrested was picked up shortly
after the shooting. The other
was hunted down by two posse
men last Tuesday.
Call the police" said Welter
after his hiding place had been
shifted out by the dogs.
Welter, who was unarmed,
had suffered a severe cut on
his right knee and the wound
was badly infected. He also
had contacted poison ivy.
Officers said he apparently
was injured in the crash of the
trio's getaway car, and possibly
crawled into poison ivy while
dragging himself to 4 creek for
water. They said he was gen.
orally "in pretty good shape"
Welter was taken under
heavy police guard to the Dane
County Jail at Madison, about
40 miles to the southeast.
Already held in the Jail were
Welter'S two companions, Rich
ard Nickl, %, and Lawrence
Nutley, 26. All three are from
the Chicago area.
Nickl was captured last Mon
day when he was thrown or
dumped from the getaway car
after he was wounded by police
gunfire. Nutley was taken by
two members of the posse on
Tuesday.
All three have been charged
with first degree murder in the
killing of Sauk County Traffic
Officer James Jantz, 26, of
Baraboo. He was shot through
the head when he and Lake
Delton Police Chief Robert
Kohl, IS. attempted to ques-
ton the trio about plush living
in area resorts. Kohl was shot
in the chest and remains in
serious condition in a hospital.

For Mrs. T, California:
You say: II have known our
family doctor for Is years or
better, and have the utmost
faith in him. But I have
never felt that my excess nair
problem was something I
could discuss with him"
I can't understand why
you feel this way. II you can't
talk 1t out with your doc
tor, then whom can you turn
to? Besides, other than
being self-conscious about
1t (Which I can understand)
is 1t such q terrible subject
to discuss?
For example. I have known
men who wouldn't go in for
a rectal examination. and
women who refused a neces-
sary pelvic examination. Al
though inexcusable during
illness, such examples Of
modesty or prudery are un-
derstandable. Call your doc
tor and spill out your prob
lem, Mrs. T., and you will
feel better for 1t.

Many readers may recall
that I occasionally warn
against the threats that care
less driving continually holds
over our heads. Life and
limb are daily hostages
against speeding on the high
ways. Well, I have a con-
fession to make. Yesterday.
after q $500 mile. unevent-
full trip-50 miles short Of my
destination-I was pinched
for speeding.
A State trooper. standing
by his patrol car at the foot
Of a long hill, waved me to a
stop. I wondered why. as I
thought I was well within
the 50-mile-an-hour speed
limit. But he said that radar
caught me doing So. per
haps you revved it up passing
a car" he said. Which is, in
fact, what happened. 1 had
been stuck behind a car do
ing 40-45 for miles. and i'm
patience got the better Of me.
Being human. I hoped I
could get out Of it with a
warning. I said that I am
ordinarily a careful driver
and had probably gotten
careless.
That's Just the trouble"
he said. "All 1t takes is that
one time. You know. doctor.
I take this job very seriously.
Like you. I feel that I'm saw
ing lives. I'd give my best
friend a ticket. In fact. I
gave a ticket to a priest just
q few days ago. When life
and death and suffering are
concerned, I don't make any
exceptions"
I told him he was q credit
to the force. I congratulated
him and said the responible
work Of the police was an
important reason for the de-
crease in deaths in his State.
Having gone eight miles
over the speed limit my fine
came to $13. I consider this
fine and warning a cheap
premium to pay. You can be
sure that on my return trip
I'll be especially careful to
keep my speed within lawful
limits.
The next time you have a
lapse and your foot presses
too hard on the accelerator
and you get a ticket-be
thankful you have got away
with your life. AS for me.

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
His Arithmetic Is Ideal

At 44th Street and Miami
Beach, he sauntered around
the old Harvey Firestone
Estate and the Albert Warner
home. One day he bought the
land-950 feet along the
beach and $50 feet deep
for $2.5 million. The next day,
Ben was offered $3.5 million
for it and turned it down.
He wanted to build q classy
hotel. a hotel TO end all
hotels. He had married Ber-
nice Stempel. q red headed
model, and he told her that
he was going to spend $l2
million on the building alone.
There was an old friend up
north named Morris Lapidis.
Mr.. Lapidis was an architect.
but his main work was de-
signing store fronts for
shopping centers. Ben sent
Morris q drawing Of the land
and said: Come on down,
but before you get here, draw
some hotels to fit this land"
Mr.. Lapidis arrived with 81
drawings. Ben said: who
owns these?" Morris said
you do" So Novack tore
them up. II want a hotel" he
said sarcastically, with 500
rooms, one on each floor"
Ben went out and got some
books on architecture. He
was reading one in the bath
room when he emerged in
triumph. He had q drawing
from q Brazilian building.
"Bernice," he said, "how
would you like to see a big
beautiful hotel in a curve
facing southeast with a big
beautiful sunken gardens like
we saw In Fontainebleau,
France?" Mrs. Novack Is
bright. She said yes.
Mr.. Lapidis and Mr.. No
vack worked over the plans.
Bernice went out and bought
big statues for the lobby Ben
and Morris did the decor Of.
the entire establishment.
Since the place has been
open, Mr.. Novack has built q
new tower to the north, and
O ballroom that seats 5000
between the original building
and the new one.
The cost Of the Fontaine-
bleau ran to $13 million. The
Evening star., 1961-01-02

land cost $2.5 million. I'M
provements ran to 81 mil
lion. Mr.. Lapidis was paid
$65,000 "He was worth twice
as much" Ben said.
The Fontainebleau has L.
03s rooms, all king -si5ed. In
the summer, the rates run
from SIG to $50 a day. In the
winter. 1t costs $37 to $65 a
day. without food or q nod
from a bellboy. Suites cost
$105 to 5000 a day. There are
800 cabanas. tennis. courts,
sunken gardens, beautiful
public rooms; the coffee shop
Is bigger than Billy Roses
Gay Nineties Club.
Mr.. Novack must take in
$12 million a year to make
the place pay. He can do this
with 60 per cent sroom oc-
cupancy, and the Fontaine-
bleau has averaged 78 per
cent. So he's solvent. In fact.
out Of $40 million in costs,
Mr., Noyack owes the banks
only SIS million. He owns
Y per cent of his hotel, and
has two mysterious partners
who own the rest. i1s
= Jack Benny was q fiop at
the Fontainebleau at $35, 900
q week. But Ben doesn't
mind. His kitchen cost 81
million and has stainless steel
boxes that will keep o good
steak hot for hours, or q
daiquiri cold all night. Dishes
run on conveyor belts into
huge washers. One of the
coffee urns makes $50 gallons
of coffee at a time.
So what's $4,000? The old
est joke at the Fontainebleau
isabout the man who dropped
a quarter and, when a bell
hop picked it up, denied it
was his because he didn't
want to give the kid a dollar
tip in return.

that they jump at the first
marriage offer that comes
along, or join the Army, or
attend an out-of-town coll
lege even though they'd pre-
fer the curriculum in a local
one. All for a chance at some
freedom and Independence!
I'm trying to convince my
parents that a child Of over
81 needs no other reason for
leaving than a desire to try
her own wings. It's not that
we don't get along. It's just
that I feel ! have as much

MIAMI, Fla.-In the pent-

He is 50 and he owns the

Ben arrived In Miami Beach

later bought one out. Then
he purchased the hotel for

but Ben Novack wanted q

In 1947, he had enough
cash and enough credit to
build q place. Ben Novack
built the Sans Souci. He

Groceries Go Begging!

Some groceries went begging this
week, and it was safe to assume
that the purchaser thought they
had been stolen.
Henry Gregory drove to town
from his Mt. Lake Park residence
in a new Nash Rambler, tWo-tOne
and parked it while he attended to
business. When he returned to the
car there was a supply of grocer
les in the car.
They were taken from the car
and placed in a local business
establishment and Henry Arnold
police chief, was notified Henry
found another car almost exactly
like Gregory's. but couldn't locate
the owner. Since then he has seen
several cars of similar model and
looks, but no one has claimed the
groceries.
Henry had no report of grocer
les being stolen. So they still re-
main in the business place, await
ing the purchaser who probably
thought someone had stolen them
from his automobile.
