Nev. uTI The fight against the Mormon cricket infest- ; ation in Nevada was intensified Friday. But experts said the strange mi i gration of the insects probably i meant they would appear soon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mont : ana, Utah and Wyoming, I Chattering metallically, the horde ! advanced slowly on the historic silver-mining and ranching town of i Austin, 150 miles east of Reno. ! A truckload of 20 tons of poison bait was expected to reach Austin soon, with 20 more tons to follow. An official said he expected the poison to arrive in time to enable workers to halt the crickets before they contaminate the town's reser voir. But if they do reach the reser voir, the town's 325 residents will have to evacuate. The horde nearing Austin was 25 miles wide and 14 mites deep. The official said it was only one of eight areas of infestation in Ne vada and the worst Invasion since 1937-1940, when 3,000.000 acres of range land were over-run.

Open 9 to 6 Closed Sundays Heavenly Vision Reported By Four Cerman Girls Splits Once Peaceful Hamlet Into Two Bitter Factions ?( DOS7 VOAKK HEROLDSBACH, Germany (AP) One October evening in 1949 four little German girl claimed they saw the "Virgin Mary on a hillside above this quaint Bavarian villaRe. Their story started a religion dispute which has split this once peaceful hamlet' into two bitter factions and raised a difficult problem for the Catholic'Church. In its way, Hcrnldsbach has be come a shrine. Thousands of per sons (lock here every week end jnd on religious days. Hundreds of adults claim they too see visions: The Virgin Mary coming down from the skies, speaking to assembled worshipers. then ascending again; the Child Jesus, borne by winged ansels: the Holy Ghost, crossing the sky "like a nery tongue." The Catholic Church has offici ally rejected these claims. Pope Piux XII issued a declaration that the so-called visions of Herolds. bach definitely "are not super natural." The Archbishop of Bam berg ordered that all who pray at the hillside shrine must be denied Holy Communion. Many Still Btlievt Still the girls claim to see new visions almost daily. Believers have donated money and jewelry to erect a shrine and chapel it the hillside spot. Crowds, once numbering as many as 60,000, have dwindled sharply since the church ban, bi.t hundreds still come to kneel at the shrine and thousands of curious come to watch. The once pastoral scene has a busy atmosphere. Booths sell re ligious tracts, candles, rosaries and light refreshment to visitors. New houses have gone up. Old inns have been refurished. But its 1,000 inhabitants, nearly all Catholics, are divided Into two camps: those who believe In the visions, and those who don't. Oid friends refuse to speak to one another. Even families disagree. "This unfortunate dispute has disturbed our peace and divided our propie, said the village priesl. fcrnst Schmitt. "It has caused war. It is truly THE S ALE s.

JUMPIN-JACKS FRENCH SARINER TR0YLING ROBIN HOOD NO PHONE CALLS, PLEASE Father Schmitt does not believe in the visions. That's why he is here. His predecessor. Father Jo hannes Galler, was removed by church authorities last year be cause he accepted the children'a claims. So bitter are the feelings of the believers that Dr. Schmitt was sub jected to public insult and abuse when he first arrived. The Insul'S ceased after two offenders weie fined In court. But some villagers still cross themselves when !ie appears. Father Schmitt, a young man serving his first pastorate, spoke with sadness of the dissension and with gentle irony about the visions but the priest made it clcir he suspects the motives of a num ber who profess belief, saying' "Look at those new buildings and motor cars. These visions appear to be timed like a movie program. Sometimes they appear earlier if there is a large crowd present " What Ona Man Saw (?) One man who appears to be lieve completely in the visions Is Jakob Meisch, 42-year old farmer who left his land to devote his entire time to maintaining the shrine and chapel, built on a low hill about 300 yards above the town. Meiseh admits regretfully that he himself has never seen the Virgin. "But one night I saw the Holy Ghost," he said. "It looked like a fiery tongue. And I saw the Dove of Peace come soaring out of the shadows into the light, and then soar away." Wolves, like dogs, express pleas ure by wagging their tails and put their tails between their 'egs when frightened.

The figure was a compromise after an original proposal to set a goal of $522,000 for building, camp sites, Methodist work at colleges and universities and for the Women's Society of Christian Service. An amendment was offered, cut ting the amount to $378,000. The amendment was defeated, but since the vote was so close the matter was reconsidered and the $400,000 figure set. The Oregon campaign and simi lar drives in Washington and Northern Idaho, already approved, will be conducted at the same time. Discussion of a union of the Ore gon and Idaho Conferences of the church was approved and Bishop Gerald Kennedy was aulhoriied to name two ministers and two lay men to meet with an Idaho group.
