their yard is a fleet of ambulances
with mobile repair shop, ready to
move at short notice where Adolf
Hitler decides to attack on the
western front.
Potential But Mighty Move
Troops, transports, nurses, am
balances, tanks, armored cars and
all the other units of a mechanical
army await that decision to get on
the move. 1t will be a mighty move
once it begins.
Yesterday there was a cold snap
in our army zone. The mud hard
ened little, there was white frost
on the fields and a blue sky over
head, and l cannot see a German
attack developing in our direction.
The German high command knows
as we'll as We do that the more
quickly they attack, the more
quickly will they deliver themselves
into death trap, for the Maginot
Line holds them fast and elsewhere
their field maneuvers will be coun-
tered by formidable, quick-moving
forces on narrow front. Will thev
risk that? Not if they remember

State and local communities were
unable to finance any share.
He proposes to attach this pro-

ana allow inclusion Of such . pro-
posal IN an appropriations bill.
Under the 1887 Flood Control
Act. the Federal Government could
pay all costs II localities were unable
to do 60" Senator Minton explained
after the Senate session. ''The Army
engineers have construed the pres
ent act to require local payments
for land, easements and right-of-
way In order to benefit under the
program"
Senator Minton said this, had
barred badly needed flood control
projects In many areas, mentioning
Je6ersonville, Ind, In his home
State as an example.
The Minton proposal was expected
to precipitate = floor contest in ad-
dition to one over q $50, 600 900 re-
duction made by the Senate APP
propriations Committee In funds
previously voted by the House.

LOS ANGELES, May 77.-Ths

indomitable, almost fabulous ruler
Of approximately 1900 California
acres, has crimbled in ruins ut her
feet.
The voman-tall, erect, xray-
haired Mrs. Mary X. Rin4ge-who
unsuccessfully defended her vast
estate with firearms, law books and
. fortue. only to be plunged into
bankruptcy. suffered the final blow
. few days ago. 49,.
IF We have any further trouble
4rom you, you can expect to be
sent to the county jail or fined for
contempt Of court" warned gu
perior Judge Ruben Schmidt after
sheriffs deputies reported three
years were required to serve the
elusive Mrs. Rindse with q bench
warrant for . court appearance to
explain her refusal to pay . $3.50
judgment.
The 74-year-old woman had
known what 1t was to be 4 virtual
law unto herself-had headed her
own private army" OF Mexican
fence riders, keeping out all tres
passers and blocking attempt to
build highways.
The recent order Of Federal judge
Leon Yankwich, which called for
dissolution In . bankruptcy reor-
ganizatton Of the forbidden en-
pire Of MaNbu." meant defeat for
Mrs. Rindge's vow to make the
dream Of her long dead husband,
Fred H. Rindge, r., come true.
Mr.. Rindge, . native Of Marble
head, Mass. bought the extensive
rancho originally it was q Spanish
hand srant-in 1890. It extends 20
miles along the coast from the Los
Angeles Ventura County line south
ward and eastward.
He saw in vast acres the site for
q watering place which would make
the French Riviera and the famous
resorts Of Europe seem poor by COM
parison.
He died in 1905.
Today wide highways cross the
once forbidden empire" Parts Of it
have been subdivided. But the es-
tate's own private railroad-two now
rusty streaks interrupted by broken

mind one Of the empire that was.
