M-16 Rifle Is Sought

 FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) About 100 Ft. Bragg soldiers, many o( them married and living off the base, were in their fourth day of confinement today as authorities continued to search for a missing M- 16 automatic rifle
  "No one's being punished," insisted a base spokesman. "We've got an Investigation going on and we're trying to recover a weapon.
   "During an Investigation all people are confined until every possible lead has been exhausted This has proved effective nearly 100 per cent of the time," he said.
   "It's senseless," said one of the soldiers confined to barracks. "Because of one man's mistake In Alpha Company, they're making things as uncomfortable as they can on us."
   The missing weapon was assigned to a member of the company, part of the 508th airborne infantry battalion.
   But the base spokesman said all five companies in the battalion were being confined because all of them had access to the consolidated arms room where the weapons were stored.
   The rifle was discovered missing during deployment of the brigade for Exercise Bold Eagle in Florida.
   The confined soldiers include married men, some living off the base.
    "We can't go to the PX or the snack bar," said one. "We can only leave if there is a military emergency."
