Weisberg, 63, was brought to the Sands by Jake Freedman in 1952. In 1959 he was licens ed as a pit boss and credit manager. Most recently he held offices as treasurer and member of the Board of Directors. ACCORDING to the coroner's office, Weisberg became sick in the Sands' casino last night and retired to his permanent suite to lay down. When he failed to respond his wife called his doctor, Russ Miller, who pronounced him dead at 2:20 a.m. Weisberg had suffered from a known heart condition. In 1956 during open heart surgery he died for about two and half minutes before being brought back to life. HE is survived by his widow, Helen, and a brother in New Jersey. Services are pending at Palm Mortuary. POLICE WARN Irt Summed Car Theft Time, So Lock Doors Las Vegas Police are investigating an i n c r e a s e in thefts from motor vehicles as fun- minded tourists; begin to pour into town for a summer visit, and leave their cars parked and unlocked ?╟÷ tempting targets. During the weekend, five thefts involving almost $2,000 were reported to the police department. BIGGEST loser was Loren Cross of Las Vegas who said a power saw and two boxes of tools valued at $1,500 were stolen from the bed of his pickup truck while he was bowling Sunday afternoon. Other items taken from cars during the weekend included a tape recorder, tires, tools and clothes. These, as well as cam eras, golf clubs and wrapped gifts, are the most apt to attract the eye of a money - shy thief with light fingers. "All a person has to do is lock his car and put his valuables in the trunk," one officer said. "When personal possessions are left on the seat of an unlocked car, the owner is just inviting trouble." BUT chances are it will take more than a police warning to discourage a thief and to insure that motorists take proper precautions. "Summer months frequently mean an increase in the number of thefts from motor vehicles," the policeman said. "But the crimes can't neces sarily be predicted on a seasonal basis." To effectively combat the thefts, police said they must first determine if a geographical trend has been established. Then they can stake - out an area with the hope of nabbing a culprit in the act. "BUT when motorists don't even bother to protect their possessions by locking their vehicles, our job is made doublely tough," the officer said. Some of the stolen property turns up in pawn shops or in the possession of a thief who has been apprehended. But much of the loot is sent out of the state, and the original owner is not likely to see it again. Masked Mountain Man Guns Down FBI Agent Hoodlum King (Continued from Page 1) Most were armed with machine guns and other heavy weapons. The region where the abductor and his hostage were spotted was described as extremely rugged mountain country which abounds in big game. Shorty after the shooting, the state police radio network carried this report: "ALL AVAILABLE men are to go to Shade Gap as soon as possible armed with machine guns." A five-day, foot - by - foot search of a wooded valley in the Tuscarora Mountains failed to turn up a clue of the girl, a high school student, or her abductor. About 100 state troopers, as- Police Hunt LankyRobber sisted by helicopters and bloodhounds, continued to scour the area Monday. Up to 600 men ?╟÷ police, National Guardsmen and volunteers ?╟÷ had searched the wild terrain near this central Pennsylvania hamlet since Wednesday. AUTHORITIES believed the abductor was the "mysterious masked mountain man" who has fired on five persons and numerous automobiles along the Pennsylvania Turnpike during the past two years. Peggy Ann, a blue - eyed brunette, and her five brothers and sisters were only a quarter - mile from home when the masked man stepped from the woods and abducted the girl. The Bradnicks had been returning from school. DA Still Studying Tract Issue Deputy Disk Atty. John Porter said Tuesday he hps "a few more details to check' out" before presenting a progress report on two mountain subdivisions owned by the Hacienda Hotel to county Commissioners. "I WANT to be sure of the facts so I can hiave the last word in the matter," Poite said in connection with his investigation into housing developments at Rainbow Canyon and Echo View in the Mt. Charleston area. County commissioners earlier this month threatened to close the Hacienda by a 3-1 vote if its owners did not live up to their promises and construct the needed improvements according to plans.
