The FBI identified the man as Albert Arthur Amarose, "a race track habitue," who has been sought since December on a Chi. cago federal warrant charging in terstate transportation of stolen property.

Amarose was questioned intensively under conditions of great secrecy in Rhode Island after he claimed he had important information on the robbery, largest cash boldup in the nation's history. But his statements on the crime apparently were not taken seriously by authorities. An FBI agent said, "I do not consider him a suspect in the robber." William F. White, chief postal inspector for New England, said, "At this point, if he does know a lot about the robbery and if he has given any information concerning the robbery we haven't beard of it and I am not in a position to Amarose later was arraigned before a U.S. commissioner in Providence, on the Chicago warrant and bail was at $2,500.

White. "Instead of five or six investigations, we want one investigation," McCormack said. The mall truck hijackingin Plymouth seemed to match in criminal cunning' the famed 1950 Brink's, holdup. here. That robbery netted $1,219,000, most of which was never recovered.

Investigators were also checking a number of clues in the Plymouth case. At Worcester; a resident found a Federal Reserve Bank money bag in Greenhill Park, a secluded area of the city. It was the same type taken by the machine gun gang at Plymouth Tuesday night. The cash was being transported from Cape Cod to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, guarded by just two postal employes armed with only38 caliber revolvers, when the robbery occurred. The mail truck was hijacked by a gang that -was believed to -include five men and woman.

On the other side, endorsed Democratic candidate Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy and State Atty. Gen. Edward McCormack continued to disagree about who was obstructing a face to face meeting. McCormack, nephew of House Speaker John W.
