Toxaway Min.
Lookout Tower
Erected By CCC
Is Only One Item Of Many
Achievements Credited
to Camp Sledge

BREVARD, April 2l.--"Thcrc 5
Lookout Tower on IoXaway
Mountain" sounds like the title
Of a popular song, but it isn't.
Toxaway Lookout Tower is a
thing Of steel, rising As feet into
the air and affording sharp-cycd
observers a wonderful vantage
point from which to spot forest
fires that may break out in the
large tracts of timber surround
ing this mountain.
Credit for erecting this tower
goes to CCC Camp G6-P, Com
pany 3418, Of Brcvard, TranSyl-
vania county. Coming into this
area on July 9, 1886 from the
vicinity Of North Wilkcsboro,
Camp Slcdgc, with Il force of 220
men, began wokr on projects,
carrying them into PENNSYLVANIA,
Jackson, Polk and Henderson
counties.
The first project taken up by
members of this camp was work
on the Horse Pasture Watershed.
Considering the fact that the
crews worked in very mountain
Gus county, and that it was ncccS-
sary to travel great distance to
reach the project, the amount of
work accomplished has been quite
satisfactory. When the fact that
it was necessary for the super
visory personnel to train incXpc-
ricnccd men in all the phases Of
forestry work required on u prof.
Get of this tyne, the results OBJ
tanned are even more remarkable.
A summary of the work COM
plcted by Camp Sledgc is as fol-
lows: one 45-foOt steel fire tower
on Toxaway mountain and cab
in for the tower man; llR miles
of metallic telephone circuit, con-
Meeting with main trunk lines at
Fairfield and Lake TOxaway-all
lines running from the ToXaway
Lookout Tower; IA miles of truck
trails to permit men and equip
mcnt being transported to scene
of a fire in the least possible time.
All these work projects were
sponsored jointly by the North
Carolina Department of COnscr-
walton and Development and the
U. S. Forest Service. Definite
benefits will accrue to all sections
Of this area upon completion of
these projects.

SCHLOSSMA s.
.KIDNAP PLEA.
Man in Wendell Case Put
Back in Jail; Leibowitz
Is His Lawyer

NEW YORK, April u. (UP)
Martin Schlossman, 26-year-old
laundryman, was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty yesterday on a
charge of kidnapping Paul Fl.
Wendell of Trenton, N. ia ma
ncuver that kept Bruno Richard
Hauptmann alive three days be-
yong his allotted span of life.
There was much still unex-
planned last night about the story
book activities of Wendell in the
Hauptmann case, but District At
tOrney Williab F. Y. Gcoghan APP
pcared to be confident that he had
taken the first step toward ulti-
mate solution.
No bail was set for Schlossman.
Standing at the bar beside him as
his lawyer was Samuel Leibowitz,
"the great mouthpiece," fresh
from his triumph in winning an
acquittal for Miss Vera Stretz,
who Shot DR.. Fritz Gebhart. Lei
bowitz. successful in getting &C
quittals in 1T consecutive homi-
eide cases, didn't want bail for
Schlessman.
Hold this man in prison." Lei
bowitz told GcOghan, "to keep
him away from outside inilu-
enccs.."
Back to Jail SchloSSman went.
On the night of Feb. Ia Wen
del, a disbarred lawyer, who has
been under observation in mental
institutions several times, was
picked up by three men in New
York and taken to a house in the
Sheepshead Bay section of Brook
Ign. There, according to his own
story, he was tortured until he
agreed to sign a confession that
he kidnapped ChaS. A. Lindbergh,
Jr. On Feb. "a Wendell was taken
to New Jersey and placed in the
new Lisbon colony for the fee
ble-minded. There, he said, he
was tortured again and forced to
sign another confession.
Where the trail will lead to in
New Jersey is uncertain, but
Geoghan insisted that Gov, Har-
old G. Hoffman had nothing to do
with the strange case and may
not even have known what was
going on. Ellis H. Parker, Bur-
lington county detective, who
took charge of Wendell in New
Jersey, still is factor, however.
eve have no. evidence that
would link Gov. Hoffman with the
Wendell case" Geoghan said. :.
Have you any evidence against
Parker?" he was asked. e
"You wanted to know about
Gov. Hoffman and l told you"
Geoghan replied. 81 won't discuss
Ellis Parker"
Attorney General David T. Wi
lentz, who prosecuted Hauptmann,
came over from New Jersey yes
terday for the proceedings. He
contends that Parker, a friend of
Hoffman, had planned coup in
an attempt to keep Hauptmann

sis has been placed upon safety.
Meetings are held and each menu
Der Of the camp has been made
safety conscious. The result of
such efforts is shown in the fact
that only a minimum of time was
lost due TO injuries received on
the job.
The health of the enrollees has
been of prime Importance, and in
spite of the severe winter just
past, there has been little time
lost due to sickness. Much credit
for the healthy state of the men,
bcrS of this camp goes to the
forcmcn who have had charge Of
the men in the field, and to the
excellent direction of the United
States Army officers in charge Of
the health. recreation, clothing,
and general supervision Of the
camp.
The relations with the public
Of the entire section served by
Camp Slcdgc have been splendid.
Frequent visits from many OF the
citizens have served to leave the
impression that the members of
the camp arc a definite part Of
the community. This mutual feel
ing Of fricndlincss, cooperation
and cordially has been one of the
greatest factors in making Camp
Slcdgc Il model CCC camp. Since
the work Of 66-P takes the crews
into four counties, it will be seen
that vast number of people have
become familiar with the worth
while work projects the camp is
doing. The many expressions OF
appreciation from the citizens of
this region indicate an awakening
to conservation principles and
realization that the path to future
practices along this line is being
set by such bodies of &men as
those which make up CCC Camp
