]. ]. PHELAN MISSING
Trusete of Million Dollar Estate in Newark Has Not Been Seen by Family for Month. ...

Family for Month. ,..
 New York, March 31.-Police of New York and New Jersey have been requested to seek John J. Phelan, prominent New York attor- ney and resident of Newark, N. J., who has been missing from his home for almost a month. Mir. Phelan is trustee of the s1.oOo,0OO estate left by his father.
 It was learned today that heirs of the estate have brought action in the supreme court demanding that the three trustees, including Mir. Phelan. give an accounting of their handling of the estates affairs.
 Ralph S. Wolcott, an attorney representing the heirs, said yester- day that the matter had been brought to the attention of the dis trict attorney s office here and that an investigation by that office is now under way. He declared that Mir Phelan. in his capacity as a lawyer, had always acted for the other two trustees, his brother. John NJ. Phelan and cousin, James Phelan, the two trustees, also have been engaged in a search for NIT. Phelan, Wolcott said.
 Heirs under the will, two brothers and four sisters by the fathers second marriage, who live in Garden City, N. r. received regular pay ments on their inheritance until last February, Mir. Wolcott said. Efforts to reach the trustee since have been futile. he said, the last time the missing man was seen being March safety deposit box owned by Phe- Ian had been opened but no fund found.

But with a little eight i.ch telescope we bought from Metho- dist school was allowed to continue my studies and after I had made some 5000 observations and had compared them with 1000 govern ment weather maps, I became con- vinced that I could predict the com ing of a Pacific coast storm as much as two and half weeks in advance"

that he would appoint Maryland citi-
zens TO represent the State on the re-
gional development committee.

When the names Of the Maryland
Representatives are sent to Col. Sher-
rill this will complete the regional
committee, which will be composed of
representatives of the Federal, Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland and Vir-
ginia governments. Gov. Il. Lee

tives of that State on the committee.

Woodruff escaped the stranger,
