This is the first of a 19-part series which the Racine Journal-Times will carry providing an ample condensation of her account.

Hereafter the series, to run Mondays through Fridays, most often will be found on the sports pages.) By Mrs. Babe Ruth With BUI RImm (Condented from "Th Bab nd Copyright 1931 by Mri. Babt Ruth) I am a in love with a hilarating experience.

I know Babe Ruth loved for Robbery of NX Bank MASSAPEQUA, N.

Y. UPi Four men with a variety of ordinary occupations who al legedly decided to take up a new profession bank robbery were seized early today less than 15 hours after a fast-moving but amateurish $72,321 stickup here Monday. Officers burst in on three of the men counting stacks of bills at the home of one of them. The police action was so fast none of the men had a chance to grab at any of the guns in "a small arsenal beside them. Painstaking Work Arrest or tne quartet so quickly was attributed to painstaking detective work based on the slimmest of clues.

Detectives got a tip that one of the men, Thomas Parks, 27 year-old plumber of Bay Shore, N. had gone to New York recently to buy a pair of hand cuffs. Parks was picked up for questioning Monday night less than eight hours after the rob bery at machinegun point of the Security National Bank in this Long Island community. Officers thought there might be some connection with re cent robberies in which vie tims were handcuffed, although none had been used at the bank. Implicates Others Parks denied buying hand cuffs, authorities said, but fi nally admitted he had bought grotesque face masks.

Such masks were used by the band its who held 12 persons at bay in the bank while scooping up cash. Finally Parks admitted tak ing part in the bank robbery, then Implicated three others, These were identified as Anatole Rylsky, 44, a tavern- keeper, Richard Hatch, 53, a blueprint developer; and Wil liam McHenry, 31, an insur ance salesman, all of Long Island. Police failed to locate any of the three until they got to the home of Rylsky. Peeking through a slit in a blind the officers saw three men sitting around a kitchen table putting money in neat piles. Door Unlocked The officers decided to crash through a door leading from the outside into the kitchen.

Inspector Elmer Robinson gave orders that, if the door were locked, police would shoot off the lock and smash in with guns blazing. The door wasn't locked and in an instant the police were in the room with" guns drawn. Police said all the money taken in the bank robbery was on the table. None of the men had a pre vious police record. Parks was quoted as saying the quartet hatched the bank robbery plot while drinking at Rylsky's Bar.

There was no immediate disclosure as to how long the men had known each other or what prompted the holdup. Police said Rylsky made a good living from his bar trade but that the others were deeply in debt fell out of love, not even for a minute.

THOUGH THIS is such a quiet election that you can. hear a vote drop, as you might say, many customers undoubtedly will be looking for this col umn's unerring forecast of the outcome. Many of these people-, as in the past; will want this prediction so they can hurry out and wager just the oppo site. Some of them have be come Independently wealthy by doing this over the years. But anyway, after cool calculation, this Is the way I see the finish of the primary race for mayor Jack Humble first, by several lengths; John Campbell, second, by a few lengths over George Vikes, third.

But a lot of women here will tell you that his wife would be a favorite candidate In anyone's charm contest Mrs. Honeck teaches charm classes at the Racine YWCA, one for teen-agers and the Other for women who left their teens a varying number of years ago. She Is a for mer model, and has back ground and experience to go with her personality and appearance.

She's the mother of four children, Including a teen-age daughter. A RACINE WOMAN thinks maybe the South is so mad at the North over the racial question that the Confederates are delaying the mails. It might even be the first step toward secession, she guesses. Any way, letters are a long time coming from that area. One mailed In West Palm Beach on March 2 didn't reach her until March 9, and It was sent airmail! Another took six days to come from Mississippi And she points out that she gets letters from Sweden faster than that AMONG THOSE who'll tell you that religious broad-minded ness prevails in Racine Is i German Lutheran jeweler who yesterday repaired a Masonic Shrine pin and a Catholic rosary brought In by the same woman.

HOW COULD anyone possibly get any 'fun" out of falsely telling a mother that her "son had been killed in an auto ac cident? But another one of those cases occurred in Racine Sunday. This particular mother has Just returned home after live weeks in the hospital She has one son attending university in Madison and -another working here.

UP) The X15 rocket ship was carried aloft this morning by a B52 bomber for the first of a series of flight tests expected to put man in space this summer.

The X15 will not be cut loose from its mother ship today unless something goes wrong If it does, the plane will be dropped and the test pilot will have to find his way back to earth the best way he can. Senate OICs Extra funds for Space Agency WASHINGTON CSV- The Senate gave an assist to the nation's manned space flight efforts today with speedy passage of a bill for an extra of spending before the fiscal year ends June 30. The authorization measure for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration went through by roll call after brief discussion. The vote was 90-0. The bill now goes to the House where similar quick approval is expected.

Project Mercury Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss), floor manager for the supplemental bill, stressed the ur gency of rapid progress "in developing our capabilities to put man into space." He explained that just under $21 million of the added funds will go for this under Project Mercury, NASA's initial program of manned space research. NASA previously has ear marked more than $37 million for the Mercury, space flight project and the estimated ef fort will cost about $200 million before it is accomplished. Delay Action' Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas had asked for quick passage of the NASA al lotment Johnson said the Senate Space Committee had decided to delay action on a larger space request for $485,300,000 for the next fiscal year until a special investigation is completed.

Kassem's regime has been at Diplomats View Offer as Possible Basis for Talks (Bj Th Ajoctted Prcu) Western leaders today eval uated Nlkita Khrushchev's latest proposal on Berlin at best as a possible basis for negotiations. At worst in some diplomatic opinion, it is a dangerous trap. West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, for one, is against it The proposal is that either neutral troops or Big Four troops meaning the inclusion of Russian soldiers be Stationed in West Berlin to guarantee a free city status. U. N.

Supervision This arangement the Soviet' premier suggested at an East Berlin rally Monday, would be made under U. N. supervision in return for ending of the 13- year-old occupation of West Berlin by U. British and French garrisons. He changes position as fast as the slots in a revolving door," remarked Sen.

Everett Dlrksen the U. S. Senate Republican leader. Dirksen expressed belief Khrushchev may be trying to maneuver his way out of his Nov, 27 demand for withdrawal of the Western troops from West Berlin. Ideas' Mayor Brandt agreed in a talk before the West Berlin Parliament that "Khrushchev's modification of his Berlin proposals may contain some kind of a weakening of his previous position." "But they also include fully Impossible ideas, such as the splitting of Berlin by separating the East sector and putting West Berlin under a new kind of four-power control," Brandt said.

"Such an expansion of Soviet occupation territory cannot be the subject of serious consideration or even tho basis of seriously meant talks." Later, an Allied source said Brandt failed to consult with the U. Britain and France before rejecting the Khrushchev proposal. While there was no Western tendency to accept the Khrushchev plan in Its present form, some Allied officials felt that Brandt had been too hasty in his rejection. Brandt is not bound to clear his speeches with Allied officials, but he is expected to con sult them on matters affecting the relations among the Big Four occupying powers.

Mike Mansfield (D- Mont), assistant Democratic leader, urged that free world leaders consider countering with an offer for a four-power guarantee of freedom for all Berlin, East and West But that idea has been kicked around before and Khrushchev appeared to veto (Turn to.
