His arrest was accidental; a 28-year-old model, lured like earlier victims by Glatman's pose-for-pay pitch, struggled free when he attacked her in a car off the Santa Ana Freeway, held him at bay with his own pistol until a state highway patrolman appeared.

Orders are coming in so fast that Rambler will increase its capacity from 330,000 to 440,000 cars annually. To complete the expansion before the 1960 model year, Romney will spend $10,150,000 on Rambler's facilities at Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wis., add at least 4,500 to the present payroll of some 18,000.
