a Gate Bridge Leap After Months of Planning Stuntman Gives Money to Wife 'If I Don't Come Out of This Okeh' Alfred "Dusty" Rhodes from the Golden Gate Bridge And last night, Los a free-lance Hollywood jump with his camera, said version of plans for the stunt: After months of planning, Rhodes wired Guzzman in Los Angeles last week from San Fran. cisco and announced he was going to make the jump. Guzzman, it was reported, wanted know if it was definitely going to be made. Rhodes: answered that it would be. They were to meet in Los Angeles afterward, and discuss how best to market Guzzman's pictures of the jump.

Friends understood that Rhodes told Guzzman: "If I don't come out of this okeh, give my share of the money from the pictures to my wife." WIFE'S TRYST- Mrs. Rhodes, from whom the stunter has been estranged, said last night that she had been driven to the toll plaza by Walter McRoberts, 25, a "partner" of Rhodes, and walked to a designated point on the span to watch the leap. McRoberts, she added, then returned to pick up her husband and his equipment. Mrs. Rhodes said her husband previously had planned to carry a fifty pound weight on each foot, to prevent his "spinning" during the fall, but abandoned the plan Thursday.

She said Rhodes only recently had returned from Honolulu, where he staged several stunts. She denied any one had sponsored the leap. J. W. Arnold, 46, a guest at the Grand Southern Hotel at 1095 Mission Street where both Guzzman and Rhodes were registered Thursday night, said Rhodes told him of plans to inflate the Mae West jacket when he hit the water.

The kapoc life suit was for added protection. Navy veterans pointed out later that jumping such a distance with a kapoc almost approximated suicide, because force of impact might cause a kapoc to slip up and break the wearer's neck. Rhodes was heavily dressed from the skin out. He wore three white shirts and two pairs of white pants. Around his hips he had football pads.

Next to his shirts he wore the kapok life jacket. Over this was a complete Merchant Marine rub- planned yesterday's fatal jump for months. Angeles friends of Jose Guzzman, photographer who recorded the Guzzman had given them this ber life suit, of the type which is inflated with carbon dioxide 1 pellets. Over this was the yellow "Mae West." ROLES IN FILMS- Rhodes formerly had earned his living as a free lance stunt man at various Hollywood movie studios.
