 Pdrt of Preparedness Program
 The maneuvers, similar to those held last summer in upstate New York by the first army are part of a program, projected by the War Department several years ago to keep it's reduced fighting personnel keyed up. for an emergency.
 Some 10000 National Guardsmen of seven states, about 5000 regular troops, air force attachments from Langley Field, Va, and Maxwell Field, Ala, and the new mechanical cavalry stationed at Fort Knox, Ky, will participate in the games. The National Guardsmen and regulars constitute the second army, and will oppose the air and cavalry units. a
 \ The conflict as planned by army strategists, is to develop as fol- lows:
 Hostilities break out between a Blue nation, comprising Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan. Indiana, Ohio Kentuncky and West Virginia, and a Red nation Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland and the area to the southeast.
 Blues Charge Ndshville
 Blue. forces of the Fifth Corps Area-the 37th and 38th National Guard divisions of Ohio, Indiana, ! Kentucky and West Virginia and the Tenth Regular Brigade-con- centrate at Fort Knox and advance on Nashville, Tenn, the Red cap ital.
 Before they reach that objective, however, a Brown nation, composed | of Pennsylvania, New York, Della ware, New Jersey and territory to the northeast, enters the war as an ally of the Reds The Fifth { Corps Blues then retire to Fort Knox to protect an assumed bridge across the Ohio river at West Point, Ky, Gn which the Reds are advanc- ing.
 At this time the Blue forces of the Sixth Corps Area-the 32d and 33d National Guard divisions of ! Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois and the Twelfth Regular Brigade advance against the Browns from Camp Custer, Mich.
 Planes To Take Part
 The air forces and mechanized cavalry will represent the Red and Brown forces. Army authorities make no estimate of the Red and Brown manpower, but theoretically | it will equal that of the two Blue forces.
 The maneuvers of the Fifth Corps around Fort Knox will continue from August l to IS, and that of the Sixth Corps near Camp Custer from August 8 to 22
 In each phase of the make-be- lieve war, the army announces, ac- tual opposing forces will be in theL field. The maneuvers are expected to demonstrate mechanization of the army.

SEARCHERS OUT
TO FIND BODY
OF PROSPECTOR

PHOENIX. Ariz., April 7. UP)-
Deputy sheriffs and civilian conser-
vation corps youths combed the
ruggeSt Businesses of Stewart noun
tain today, convinced they would
find only the body of Walter Snyder,
26-year-old prospector from Dickin-
son, N. d.
They believed Snyder left his
camp several weeks ago on pros
pecting trip and either became lost
in the mountains or was injured in
some manner and was unable to
reach aid.
Hunt for him was begun after
two prospectors visited his camp
Sunday and discovered it had not
been occupied for several weeks.
Cooking utensils and an axe found
at the place we're stained with rust,
they said, and other evidence indi-
Gated Snyder intended to be away
but a short time when he left the
camp. His automobile was found
parked .at the cabin.
Snyder established the camp
about Christmas time, deputies
learned, and had been expected by
friends to visit Phoenix before this.

DEATH ENDS
HUNT FOR LOST
GOLD MINE

PHOENIX, Ariz.. April Z. U.R)-
Twenty years of searching for
lest" gold mine he never found was
ended yesterday when sheriff's dep
utieS and cowboys buried George
Drakulich in a grave blasted from
the solid rock of his claim in Super
Stition mountains.
Drakulich. better known as George
Miller. was the third of three part
ners to die while working on the
claim.
Years ago. he and Ernest Martin
and John Hluper banded themselves
together to hunt the Superstitions'
legendary gold. Increasingly they
toiled in their workings except for
periods when they had to turn to
other work in order to earn grub
stakes. Always they believed the
next stroke of the pick, the next
round of dynamite would uncover
vast riches, possibly even those of
the mythical Lost Dutchman" mine
which has cost the lives of many
men.
In 1927, Martin died and was bur-
led by his partners on a hill over
looking the claim. In 1881. Hluper
succumbed and was buried by
friends in the cemetery at Mesa.
Alone, Miller continued the search,
despite the fact the years were
creeping upon him. He died in the
dark workings, stricken by a heart
attack, as he showed the mine to
his friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin
Smith of Tempe. 1t was his wish
that he be buried near the claim.

two veteran organizations asked
the supervisors for help in adjust
ing disagreements.
Final disposition of the matter
is expected to be made after hear
ing April 20, when all veteran or
CARNATIONS will be present. Each
group was asked for suggestions
for handling the situation.
Management difficulties came to
a head because of a debt said to
be due upon furniture and furnish
ings. American LegionnarieS said
the FL Centre post would assume
payment of the debt on per cap
ita membership basis provided the
membership on the memorial build
ing housing committee also would
be based on per capita basis.
Claims of clients of the Tax
Research, Inc, were discussed and
the district attorneys office gave
tentative figures of $2,61657 of the
claims pending the approval of the
board. The claims have to do with
the payment of taxes by the own
ers of property occupied by public
utilities companies. The taxes in
certain instances are to be refunded
since the law requires that such
be done. Several of the claims
still are being investigated by Char
les c. Halliday, chief civil deputy
district attorney.

END OF SUNDAY
HIGHWAY TRUCK
TRAVEL URGED

SACRAMENTO. April 7. UP
Voluntary elimination of Sunday
truck traffic on heavily travelled
state highways was suggested to-
day as a possible means of reduc-
ing weekend accident tolls.
In an effort TO test the plan, Ray
Ingels, director of motor vehicles,
said he would ask fleet owners and
independent truck operators to keep
their heavy equipment off Altamont
Pass in Alameda county and the
Imperial Valley route in Riverside
county on Sunday afternoons and
nights.
If thorough cooperation and good
results are obtained on those two
routes the plan will be extended to
other sections of highway
The proposal will be placed in
effect only if and when operators
agree unanimously to cooperate, In
gels said There is no law under
which trucks could be ruled off the
highway arbitrarily.
Statistics have disclosed that
trucks are involved in IA per cent
of accidents occurring when one
vehicle passes another going in the
same direction.

Identity they refused to reveal. in
connection with Wendels charges
that he was kidnapped on a New

TO confess that he kidnapped
Charles A. Lindbergh jr.
Reports OF the detention caused
excitement in Trenton political
circles. Both New York and fed
eral government investigators
have questioned Detective Ellis
Parker of Burlington county about
Wendel's story. for Wendell was
delivered To Parker by the men
who seized him in New York. AS
Parker was closely allied with Gov

Richard Hauptmann, an arrest of
one of Wendels captors was
fraught with political dynamite.
Friends and Foes
Both friends and enemies of
Hoffman asked the assembly last
night to investigate official con-

and the prosecution and defense
of Hauptmann.
One resolution aimed principally
at investigating Hoffman, lost by

ASsemblyman Charles R. GeddeS,

olution, nominating a "non-par-

men to investigate official conduct
of the Hauptmann case since the
date of his conviction. The second
was introduced by ASsemblyman
James K. Allardyce of Ocean City.
1t was in form that Hoffman had
suggested, calling for legislative
investigation of the conduct OF
all officials connected with the
case. Hoffman has accused At

Anthony M Hauck of Hunterdon
county of refusing to take account
of discrepancies in evidence that
convicted Hauptmann.
