We got out.
For all Docs frozen-faced re-

my mind, l did go to old DR..
Sheldon in the geology depart
ment, and put it up to him, all
but the envelope.
"Gold?" he said. "At Tam
bay?"
He dragged out a topographic
relief map and a lot of blue
prints and gave me free lee
ture. The nearest gold strike,
he said, was so miles away in
the hills and in an entirely diff
ferent formation. There simply
couldn't be vein at Tambay, he
said; it wasn't that kind of struc-
ture. IF gold has been found at
Tambay," he finished up, some
one has been sailing the place.

Presumably some person who

Which made no sense at all.

She wanted no more of Loren

For quite q few minutes Juddy
did nothing but think. What
her thought produced was this:
Loren divers all right of

nothing to me. But / don't un-

She looked up at me, quick,

her that she hadn't thought Of

said.
I pretty near said, Keep it in

Juddy takes it better at an angle
than down the alley.
After that, ia notice her
watching him with a puzzled
frown. Sometimes they'd walk
around together, taking Dolf,

CALF. PAROLE
SCANDAL. TOLD

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 15-U.P)
Warren G.. Atherton of Stockton
and Joseph H. Stephens of Sacra-
mento, former members of the State
Board of Prison Terms and Paroles,
today accused Gov. Culbert Olson
with the wholesale parole of dam
gerous criminals" since he took Of
flee in 1889
The former officials said they
were not criticizing the parole sys-
tenn but "the maladministration of
the system under the rule of Gov
Olson.
One of the charges was that Oh
sons parole board had freed 5902
prisoners on parole, including 500
sex criminals and l79 lifers. They
said 28 out of every 100 paroles un-
der Olson'S administrator have
been cited for parole violation, as
compared with only 5.8 per cent
during the previous administration
Parole totals cited by Atherton
and Stephens were as follows fer
the Olson administration: 1899,
1855; 1910, 1887; l94l, 1857, and up
to August |, 1905.

Russians Demand
Immediate Trial
For Rudolph Hess
Hearing on War Guilt
Urged as Example to
Nazis; Problem Posed
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE

LONDON, Oct. Is. (UP)-
Russia. demanding that Ru-
dolf Hess and other enemy
Warlords who fall into Allied
hands be tied Immediately as war
criminals, confronted Britain and
the United Nations with one of the
wars most delicate problems today.
The Soviet statement, made in re-
ply tc a declaration by refugee gov
ernmentS in London, urged that
Hess, No. 3 Nazi now held by the
British. be tried by an internation-
al court now for his share of the
Nazi atrocity policy as an example
for all German leaders of the retri-
button awaiting them after the war.
Official British sources refused to
comment on British policy toward
the Russian demand, pointing out
that it was reply to the exiled
governments declaration and that
no copy had been sent yet to the
British Foreign Office
Pending receipt of the official
note. Foreign Office legal experts
were striying all angles of the case
TO determine the exact status of
Adolf Hitler's former right-hand
man.
The Soviet statement struck home
TO the British particularly because
Hess is solely their prisoner. He
flew to Britain in May, l94l, and
was held as prisoner of state.
The Hess case, it was pointed out.
was complicated by the facts that
he came to Britain voluntarily. that
he made his flight before Russia
became a United Nations ally and
