She says that at one point a passerby refused to call for help. "I have a strong desire to live and 1 guess I did by the grace of Gad," the 46-year-old divorcee told highway patrolmen Sunday after she had been lifted 500 feel lo safety. The gorge is in a wilderness beside Los Padres National Forest. A teen-ager had heard her screams and summoned rescuers. She told officers that two days earlier she thought she was going to be rescued when a passerby worked his way partly down the gorge afler hearing her calls for help.

"But the man said, in effect, that anyone who drove that road deserved anything he got and that he didn't want to gel involved," highway patrolman Al Goldberg said the woman lold him. She said that hope began to fade after the man left, because she lived alone and no one knew her travel plans. The woman told California Highway Patrol officers she was driving along twisting California 33 about 120 miles north of Los Angeles when she pulled lo the side of the road for a resl. She was heading north from Ventura, her home, toward Bakersfield. She said her foot accidental- ly the accelerator pedal and Ihe car boiled off the road and came to resl on its roof 150 feet down the steep face of Ihe gorge.

She said slie crawled outside the a not realizing how steep or deep the gorge was, and slipped down another 350 feet to Ihe bottom. She said Ihe injury to her knee made il impossible to work her way back up the rugged gorge. The only comfort she had was a rubber floor mat from the car to sleep on. Temperatures fell as low as 32 degrees during the period, officials said. The teen-ager, Dean Herman, 15, said he was out with a group of friends hunting for targets to shoot at when he heard the woman's screams.

One went for help while the others lowered themselves into the gorge. Rescue workers took the woman to Ventura Community Memorial Hospital, where she was reported doing well after knee surgery. Doctors said there were no broken bones. 'Fat Cat Burglar' Blazes Trail Through The Rich UNBELIEVABLE? Our Usual Low Discount Prices On 3 Piece Bedrooms PLUS Matching Nite Stand PHILADELPHIA A The "Fat Cat stealing from the very rich, is blazing a trail through Philadelphia's fashionable suburbs. It's a hoi trail, laden with close to $1 million in jewels he has pocketed in 13 heists since September.

The victims include only Ihe finesl families, such as the du Ponls and Pews, the kind of people social climbers drool over. The biggest haul was Fat Cat's first. He netted about $500,000 in jewelry from a Sept. 1 robbery at the Meown estate near Centreville, Del. The victim was Bayard Sharp, son of Isabella Mathieu du Pont, who owns about a third of du Pont Co.

common stock. About five weeks and several burglaries later, the Fat Cat Burglar noisily ransacked the master bedroom of Walter C. Pew, heir lo the Sun Oil Co. fortune while the Pews called police. He had broken in via a hidden rear a i a and locked bedroom doors behind him, proceeding to snatch $50,000 in jewels.

No one has ever seen the burglar, although he always strikes while people are present so he won't touch off burglar alarms. And police say a couple of limes while they were i i a i scenes of his previous hits, he was calmly reducing the inventory of precious gems next door. "Whoever this guy is," says Lower Merion Police Capl. Black Education Conference Set The annual con- on Black Basic Education will be held at the Host Inn, Harrisburg, Feb. 1415.

So smart that he manages to work almost normal hours, rarely after 8 p.m., and never after a respectable bedtime. He has never left a legible fingerprint.

He also has not lefl loo much jewelry, although he won't touch fake stuff. "He's very skillful and very clever," says his latest victim, Ruth i wife of George Junkin, founder of the Wilson Line. a i a centered in the rich community of Gladwynne. It's Main Line the way most people think of Main Line -carnage houses, stables and bridle paths winding through opulent estates. "There's so much grounds in this area," says one detective, "that a burglar could park his car miles away and get to a house without ever be- ing seen on the street." The Fat Cat Burglar also has a i a a i a Houdini would have loved.

He has gone up ladders, down rainspouts, and in and out of a variety of classy windows and French doors. Only one person has ever seen the burglar, but it was so dark the witness couldn't tell if Fat Cat was short or tall, male or female. But one thing Fat Cat is, is confident. After being discovered at one residence, he was forced to leave without any jewels. So, while police questioned the distraught Main Liners, Fat Cat i a tree, dropped in next door and made off with $6,000 in jewels.

"He must have one hell of a good fence lined up," says Capl. Falconi. And a Lower Merion police spokesman says Ihere will be almost no hope for catching Fat Cat if he should suddenly decide to get out of the burglary ratrace. Large Selection To Choose From!
