The crash of high explosives and
the crackle of burning buildings set
afire by incendiary bombs last night
gave approximately 5000 persons at

A few minutes later Col. Sears said

the plane passed, three incendiary
bombs were set off, lending touch
of realism to the scene.
When the plane passed over the
field second time seven high ex-
plosive bombs were set of and four
shacks, representing factory build

an actual bombing.
To make the mock air raid seem
even more realistic, a heavy cloud

that they were members Of the

House Votes S5OO,0O0
To Liquidate Civilian
Conservation Corps
Request for Increase
In Forestry Services
Funds Held Likely
P1 ttt Associated Press.

Py ttt Associated Press.
The House decision to liquidate
the depreSsion-born Civilian Conser-
vation Corps raised today the likeli-
hood that the Army would turn to
paid labor in increasing numbers for
its work battalions at military can
tonements.
simultaneously, it appeared prob
able that Congress will be asked, in
the near future, for a big increase in
the Forestry Services funds to guard
against the menace of fire sabotage
and japanese incendiary bombs in
the heavily -timbered forest lands
of the Northwest.
A chance remained, however, that
the Senate will reverse the House
action and rescue the CCC, which
has spent approximately 100000
600 in the last nine years in training
thousands of youths.
In sending the sl.058 ,951 $50 sup
ply bill for the Labor Department
and related agencies to the Senate,
the House refused by teller's count
of 158 to 121 to include the CCC
allotment of s75,81800O.
The House rejected also, 118 to 62,
a proposal to halt the training pro-
gram of the National Youth Ad-
ministration.
The House, however, granted the
CCC s500,000 to liquidate its affairs.
If sustained by the Senate, the
action probably would spell the end
Of the corps within a month or two,
and it would be the first bureau cas-
ualty of the war.
Some $50 CCC camps. complete
with equipment and buildings val
ued at s30.000,000, already have been
transferred to the Army for troop
housing and for new posts and
