FECH NER TO
CLOSE 291 CCC
CAMPS, JULY l
Camp 7O4 at Halfway Included
in the Order; 5000 Officers
To Be Dismissed.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington of Thursday stated that
Robert Fechner, director of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, had ordered the
closing of 291 camps throughout the
country by July to make the CCC
program fit the 1938-39 budgetary re-
strictionS
The reduction, Fechner said, would
leave 1910 camps, 10 Of which would be
closed before October 81. The order
also involves the dismissal of approx
mately 5000 camp officers and civilian
officials. He also said that the shut
down would not affect the enlisted
personnel which would be shifted to
other camps.
The operating program for the final
quarter of the fiscal year, ending June
30, provided for the maintenance of an
enrolled strength of 10000 young men
and war veterans. In order to maintain
this strength, Mr.. Fechner said, it would
be necessary to enroll approximately
tween April and April 20. More than
10000 applications are on file.
According to the dispatch, 1t is
planned to shift 100 camps to other
locations on March 81 for the summer.
Among the camps to be closed is 704
at Birch Lake, camps at Tofte, Bena,
Deer River, Grand Marais, Side Lake,
Merrifield, Bagley and Caledonia.
AS result of the dispatch from
Washington, announcing the closing of
the camps, Governor Benson at once
wired Washington protesting the closing
of the nine Minnesota camps. In his
message of protest he urged Fechner
to reconsider the order and further
said:
''The move is very injurious to the
State of Minnesota and to the COM
munitieS where these camps are To-
Gated" The people of Ely coincide with
Governor Benson in this statement.
The other towns affected are of a
similar belief, according to advices re-
ceived.

the lobby of an apartment house in
the 100 block Of Thirteenth street NE.
Mr.. Kennel said that as he was wait
ing in the lobby for a friend, he sud-
denly felt some one stick something
hard against his back and heard a
demand to drop your money on the
floor and don't turn around" He
pulled $40 bill out of his pocket and
dropped it in back of him. After wait
ing several minutes, he turned to dis
cover his money was gone and SO was
the hold-up man.
Another robbery was reported to
police last night by Miss Betty Slaugh-
ter, 1923 Sixteenth street NV. She
said that, as she was walking along
Massachusetts, avenue NV, between

Love Striker
Leaves Home
OF Millionaire
BY the Associated Press,

IRVINGTON. N. Y, Jun 29.-Mrs.
Heidi Heusser, the red-haired Hungar-
ian love striker, broke her nine-day
self-imprisonment in the Rollo K.
Blanchard mansion today.
Making her way first to a nearby
roadstand she ordered hot dog, ate it
with evident relish, and Immediately
looked brighter and gayer. From the
roadstand she went to the White Plains
office of her attorney. Mortimer
OBrien.
1t was an unexpected break in the
routine she has followed since she took
up residence in Mr. Blanchard's home
with the avowed intention Of not leav-
ing until he married her.
Last night Mrs Heusser entertained
in grand manner for the two male
detectives and three women guards, as
signed to the house by Blanchard.
There was chicken, cooked by Mrs.
Heusser herself in the Hungarian style.
There we're drinks and a re-enactment
by one of the women and a detective
Of a newspaper account of a pro-
moter's interview in the rain yesterday
with Mrs. Heusser.
The red-haired Mrs. Heusser loved
it. Sometimes she halted the mimicry
to correct the woman guards accent.
Tears filled her eyes. It was all very,
very merry.

T|TULAR LEADER
OF 0FG.0.P.DEBATED
Congressional aign
May Determine Status of
Hoover and Landon.
Ey the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
The congressional election cam
paign may determine whether ALI M.
Landon or Herbert Hoover will be rec
ognized as the titular leader Of the
Republican party
Friends Of the two men consider
both have a claim to the leadership
Mr.. Landon as the party's last stand
ard bearer and Mr. Hoover as its last
President.
Prominent Republicans in Washing
ton said today that campaign activities
Of the pair should give the rank and
file an effective yardstick for measur-
ing the relative effectiveness of their
leadership.
May Observe Powers.
In some cases, one or the other may
have his way about the nomination
Of Republican candidates. In others,
State and county leaders may have Ar
opportunity to observe which one DEM
onstrates the most vote-getting power
for party nominees.
Both Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Landon
are expected to make a series Of ad-
dresses during the campaign. Com
prehensive arrangements have not been
made, but Republicans here said they
probably would speak in most of the
closely contested States.
Mr.. Landon. who has been reported
at odds with National Chairman John
Hamilton. was expected to arrange his
speaking tour without consulting the
National Committee.
Only Indnrse Hamilton.
The National Executive Committee
meeting here Monday, Endorsed Mr..
Hamilton and his campaign program,
but did not discuss the question of
whether Mr. Landon or Mr.. Hoover
should be recognized as titular head.
Party workers asserted that the man
who can gain recognition as the lead
er will begin strong position to dicke,
for candidates and policies in the 194o
presidential contest.
Some politicians have speculated
whether Mr.. Hoover might like to be
the 1910 nominee, but his friends here
said that for the present at least, he
was interested primarily in party
issues. The former President told q
Boston audience last October, Il dc
not want any public Office"
| A few weeks later Mr.. Landon said
in Washington regarding the 1910 con
test:
