along the crest of the slope for some distance without discovering any sign of trail coming in from the direction of the desert.
 That seems to knock the bottom out of the idea that Byron Ed wards has been in the habit of coming through here on his way to or from his camp" Murphy ob- served, not trying to hide his dis appointment. T was pretty sure of 1t. It seems to explain why Mrs. Garcia had picked out this spot to meet him."
 "You may be right about that, Pee Wee said, Byron Edwards may have been staying north of the creek till he reached the road. From the place they cross the creek it is only a short ride up here. Suppose we forget about Jack Edwards place for time and drive up over that hill and find out where Black Creek runs into the desert. We may be able to pick up his tracks"
 Murphy was agreeable to that. Without exposing themselves any more than they could help they I moved east for a few miles but failed to get a glimpse of any riders or any tracks of any kind. Murphy was looking sharply around him at all times.
 You must be pretty sure that we are being watched or you would not be so careful" Pee Wee re- marked. Murphy nodded. Maybe I'm little spooky. We have come a long way out to have seen some one. When we get to the top of this mountain we had ought to be able to get good look at this | part of the country" The going wa& I getting bad, but the horses were sure footed animals, with very good patience. They picked their way up the narrow path to the mountain top. From this point the two part ners could see Black Creek flow ing down from the mountain and disappearing out in the desert z mile or more away.
 T don't know how long Byror Edwards stays at his camp or jus where it is located,' Murphy said "but I do know that he can't have any water there except what he carries out with him when he goes" They drove over to the creek and found well-beaten trai on the north bank and also found the spot where Edwards got his water. He had driven posts in the ground and built a shelter over the spring so as to make shade and keep the water cool. There was couple of water jugs hanging on a wire that was stretched across the front of the shelter and also a couple of canvas water bags. The partners took to trail back far enough to make sure it followed the creek back to the, road.

GlaDOraL1nR upon the AFA poll icy on this important issue, Hines continued:
 ''The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor un- doubtedly had in mind the records of Selective Service which indicate that out of the nearly IT million persons who registered for the draft in the present war, approxt- mately five million have been re- jected for physical reasons, and many of these physical defects were of a preventable nature. We believe that it Is very important to the national welfare, especially from a military standpoint, that more ade- quate medical care be given to the children of the nation, in order that they may be fit to serve their nations need upon reaching the age of maturity.
 Many advocates of universal military training have advanced the argument that such program would improve the health and de- velopment of our youth at the age of 18 and over. Certainly compul- sorry military training service will not in any way be beneficial to the counterpart of five million per-
 sons, physically below standard, who were rejected by the army and
 navy during the present war. If
 our nation is to seriously consider a
 program to promote the health and physical well being of our citizen
 ry, it cannot wait until they reach ] the age of military service.
 Another argument advanced in
 favor of a compulsory military
 training service law is that 1t would
 provide discipline needed for
 character development. If we are
 to have a disciplined citizenry, con-
 scious of their obligations under
 democracy, as well as their ob-
 ligations to their fellow citizens in l all cooperative undertakings, we must look to our character forming agencies, the family, the school, the 1 church, and community institutions rather than to compulsory military training service.
 Other proponents of compulsory military training service have ad- vocated this type of legislation on the grounds that we need to be pre- pared for any eventuality that may arise. At the present time all of our thoughts have been directed to an endeavor to formulate pro- gram that will provide for last ing peace. This is evidenced by the fact that the leading nations of the world, including our own, are par ticipating in a conference at San Francisco at the present time for such a purpose. Some of the advo- cates of this proposed legislation, who include the representatives of our military and State Depart ment, have testified in terms of pre- parednes. May we not in all fair ness ask, preparedness for what? If we are on the brink of another war should we not have the right to demand to know with whom, when, and where?
 We have always held in this country that standing armies and stockpiles of war materials facili- tated their use before absolute need. believe that this is a historical fact as borne out by the tragedies embroiling the European nations who have followed this philoso- phy. We join with many others in urging the development of effec-

u. 5. Delegation
Reported Ending
Treaty Impasse
Tentative Plan Gives
Each Nation Right
To Regional Pocts
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER.
Associated Press STAFF Writer,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-
The United States delegation to
the United Nations Conference
was reported today to have
broken it's week-ofd deadlock
over how to fit regional security
systems into a world peace or
ganization.
The tentative solution is based
on recognizing in a United Nations
charter the right of all countries
to make treaties for their own de-
fense. Under such treaties, nations
could give each other emergency
assistance against an aggressor, but
then the projected World Security
Council would be empowered to
take control of the situation.
Officials said this plan should
allay the fears of small nations
that the council might not give
them quick enough protection in an
emergency. And they felt it would
not weaken the overall authority
of the world agency to handle
situations endangering peace.

jackets, a nonregulation sort of
long-skirted Norfolk jacket for hot

Combat officers had long COM
