Two Nabbed in Reno for Slaying Southland Man By CLARK BIGLER United Press Staff Correspondent RENO, Nev., — Two Los Angeles detectives arrive here today to question a young man and a teenage companion about the "doorbell" slaying of Frederick Winter Heinz, 19, son of a California bakery firm executive. The suspects, Harvey Bimstein, 23, alias Rocky Lener, and Eric Newton Bass, 16, adopted son of a millionaire real estate operator of Apple Valley, Calif., were captured yesterday 18 miles east of Reno. Capt. Gordon Fairchild of the Nevada Highway Patrol said Bimstein admitted firing the .350 automatic that killed Heinz in his father's Pacific Palisades, Calif., home Saturday night. Officers found a .350 automatic under the front seat of a car stolen from the Heinz home after the shooting. Gun Was Loaded Fatchild said Bimstein told him he went to the home of Roy Heinz, vice president and general manager of Continental Baking Company, "knowing the gun was loaded and fully intending to use it if he had to." Young Bass told a reporter that "Rocky had the gun. He didn't mean to do it. It went off accidentally." Bimstein and Bass signed waivers of extradition. They were held for investigation of murder, en route to Los Angeles. Bass' stepfather said he could not imagine his stepson "doing anything like this." "The boy had his own checking account and could have obtained money at any time," he said. Others Arrested With Bimstein and Bass at the time of their arrest was Edward J. Pruchniewski, 27, of Las Vegas. He said he was a hitchhiker who was given a ride by the suspects. He was held for "in- Pope Pius Closes Eucharistic Congress By JUAN DE ONIS United Press Staff Correspondent RIO DE JANEIRO (UP)—Pope Pius X II closed the 36th International Eucharistic Congress last night with a hymn of praise to the powers of the Eucharist as a source of Christian energy for good in the world. The Pope, speaking in Portuguese, broadcast his message by radio from Vatican City to millions of residents of the world's most populous roman Catholic country and to pilgrims from 50 nations attending the final ceremonies of the week-long congress. Citing the origin of the Holy Eucharist and its sacramental uses as a means of demonstrating man's love of God, the pontiff said: Plenty Demonstrated "In these full days, you have multiplied the demonstrations of eucharistic plety." These demonstrations were visible in "holy hours of the day and Plety Demonstrated "In these full days, you have multiplied the demonstrations of eucharistic plety." These demonstrations were visible in "holy hours of the day and night, in churches and in religious houses, in hospitals and prisons," he said. "In the Eucharist," the Pope continued, "you have found the greatest energy 'to spread Christianity' and to insure with memorable actions the integrity of the nation and the unity of faith." More than 220,000 persons assembled in vast congress square to listen to the address—the crowning highlight of the year's leading Catholic event. Prior to the broadcast, the throngs participated in a dedication of Brazil to Christ and the concluding mass, celebrated by Benedetto A. Cardinal Masella, the Pope's personal representative. Knights of King Speaking to the prelates of Brazil, the pontiff said in his broadcast, "You, in a special way, should return to your homes, decisively set to be knights of the Eucharist King always and everywhere, be it in individual or in family life, be it in social or civic, as in public life." This faith and way of life, the Pope said, should continue until the "Redeemer and Divine King, not only by right but also by fact, rules in all beating hearts from the Amazon to the La Plata River, establishing in all His reign of peace and love, of justice and holiness." This reference to the spreading of the divine word of church as far south as the La Plata River, bordering Argentine and Uruguay, was the nearest reference the Pope made to recently troubled relations with the government of President Juan D. Peron of Argentina. Chest Fund Drive Plans Formulated Plans for organizing the Anaheim Community Chest's fall fund drive, Bass' stepfather said he could not imagine his stepson "doing anything like this." "The boy had his own checking account and could have obtained money at any time," he said. Others Arrested With Bimstein and Bass at the time of their arrest was Edward J. Pruchniewski, 27, of Las Vegas. He said he was a hitchhiker who was given a ride by the suspects. He was held for "Investigation." Two other men were held in Los Angeles in the case. They were John Martin Hurney, 18, and Neal Frances Cook, 25. Police said they went along with Bimstein and Bass to the Heinz home, but waited in a car outside while the robbery-slaying took place. After questioning Bimstein and Bass and conferring with Los Angeles police, Fairchild pleced together this version of the slaying: The four men went to the Heinz residence Saturday night. Hurney and Cook stayed outside, while Bimstein and Bass walked to the porch and rang the doorbell. Pulled Trigger Young Heinz opened the door and began grappling with Bimstein who then pulled the trigger of his automatic. Heinz's father, his mother, Dixie his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Lindsey, ran to the door when they heard the shot. They arrived in time to see Frederick fall to the floor, mortally wounded. He died in a hospital two hours later. Bimstein and Bass shoved their way into the living room and relieved Roy Heinz, Lindsey and the dying man of their watches and wallets. The youth's mother and sister were not molested. Then they went outside. Cook and Hurney fled on foot. Bimstein and Bass escaped in a 1955-model auto.

Rolf Per Thorvaldson, 31, given up for dead weeks ago by his family, was discovered Saturday by a fishing boat as he lay becalmed in a fog bank only seven miles off Los Angeles Harbor. He had sailed his 28-foot ketch, Tahia, across 6000 miles of stormy sea during a 130-day ordeal of adversity but didn't know where he was. "I hope I'm not fool enough to do that again," he said. "But I'm afraid I might. Now all I want to do is rest—and eat." Lost Weight Thorvaldson said he lost "a lot of weight... don't know how much." But over a meal of hot cakes, syrup, bacon, bananas and apples he said he thought he soon would gain it back. His voyage to Tahiti lasted 83 days and was uneventful. When he decided to return home he put aboard 60 gallons of water and only enough canned food to last to Hawaii. "I had moments of despondency," Thorvaldson recalled. "But most of the time I just had to sit there and wait. It was pretty rough between Tahiti and Hawaii." He said the caulking in a bow seam broke loose during a storm and he had to bail water. The turnbuckles on the stays kept parting and made more work. Imposed Strict Diet The young accountant, who spent three years in the Navy as a quartermaster, said he worried about food and water "most of the way from the Hawaii area." He said he imposed a strict diet on himself as the days wore on. He saved rainwater to drink and developed a taste for the fish he caught. "I ate a little soup and some powdered eggs each day," he said. "And I had some lime juice and tomato juice." After he was reunited with his joyful family, Mr. and Mrs. Toger Thorvaldson, and sat down to a big meal, Thorvaldson summed up his feeling: "These are things I dreamed of while I was out there."
