Air bubbles from the safe con tain gases that indicate they may be from bacteria feeding on cash rotting in the safe, a spokesman for the expedition said. The safe was raised from the sunken ship in September in a sal vage operation headed by depart ment store heir Peter Gimbel. Treasure hunters speculate the safe may contain $1 million in cash plus jewelry. The vault has been resting in the shark tank at the Coney Island Aquarium in the hope that the salt water would preserve it. Bubbles started seeping from the safe several weeks ago. In an intricate operation, aquarium sci entists trapped the bubbles, froze them and shipped them to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., where they were analyzed. “It appears possible that the organic matter supplying the mic robes with nutrients is paper cur rency and other paper products, like letters of credit, stock certifi cates, bonds,” the spokesman said. The safe is scheduled to be opened during a live television program in early 1982. AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group J400 S.

Shortly after the Oscar-winning actor’s death was disclosed Mon day, Ford said he was with Hol den, his close friend of more than 40 years, just four days earlier. But Robert Dambacher, the coroner’s chief investigator, said Wednesday that Ford denied saying he had been with Holden four days before the 63-year-old actor’s decomposed body was found. In a taped interview Monday, recorded moments after the announcement of Holden’s death, Ford told radio station KNX: “I was with him four days ago. It’s inconceivable to me that he’s gone. I loved him.” Dambacher said Ford now real izes “in retrospect that he was wrong. “Mr. Ford told me they had dinqer together about two weeks ago but he really didn’t say where it was,” Dambacher said. “He said they had dinner together all the time, on and off. Dambacher said Ford appa rently was not the last person to see or speak to Holden before he slipped and fell, smashing his head on a nightstand and opening a 2 1 /2-inch gash on his forehead. Dambacher told UPI he now believes actress Stephanie Pow ers, the actor’s long-time compan ion, was the last person to speak to Holden. “They spoke on the telephone November 9th,” he said. “In fact, she called Holden’s apartment Monday morning while my inves tigators were on the scene. She had heard a news report about his death.” The latest information revises statements Tuesday by Coroner Thomas Noguchi, who apparently based his comments about the Holden-Ford meeting on informa tion obtained from Santa Monica police detectives, Dambacher said. sen St null 1 lowever. Detective Chri Wilson said the information abo Ford came from the coronei office, saying police had not ini viewed Ford. Noguchi said Holden was scions for only five or 10 mini after falling over a throw rug,in gashing his forehead on the conn of a bedside table. He actor died within half an hour.
