A young hunter of gold who followed his "hunch" led the way today to the wreckage of a storm felled TWA airliner missing with nine persons aboard since the night of last March 1. The shattered plane and the bodies of its occupants lay near the top of 9, 000-foot Buena Vista peak. 18 air miles south and cast of Yosemite valley ranger head quarters: the region, one of the wildest in the Sierra Nevada, is 90 miles east of Fresno. H. O. Collier, 24, a mining pros pector from Fresno, told Chief Ranger Forest Townsley last night he had found the ship Sunday morning. Eight bodies were scat tered nearby, said Collier. As evidence he had found the i plane. Collier produced an avia tor's cap with the TWA insignia and a brief case stamped with the name of H. M. Salisbury of Kansas City, Mo., TWA co-pilot and a passenger on the ship. Those aboard were: Passengers J. Tracy Dirlam, 22.

A senate-house commit tee agreed today on a compro mise flood control bill which would not require local con tributions for reservoirs and dams. The federal govern ment would hold full title to lands acquired for such pro jects. Local contributions would be required for purely local works such ms flood walls and levees. cent present local contribution re quirements covering lands, ease ments and rights of way. Word the president had acceded to abandonment of the principle of local payments for reservoirs contained in the 1938 omnibus flood control bill circulated after conferees sought white house coun sel on the senate amendments. Favon Amendments A house member opined Mr. Roosevelt had been influenced by a senate amendment to vest the fed eral government with full title to all reservoirs, flood control as well as power. Senate Majority Leader Barkley, (D-Ky) had ad vocated this amendment along with another giving the federal power commission instead of the army engineers authority to deter mine hydro-electric potentialities. Presumably he espoused the amendments with presidential sanction. House members said the propos ed new policy on flood control reservoir financing would not cut the 100 per cent local contributions now required for purely local works such as flood walls and levees. An amendment by Bark ley, however, would extend the re duction to channel improvements for flood control. 11 Tell One By BOB BURNS ' col re jTMi-ii ,nd gentlemen - Pa-f r.f the country, but r-en proud of the fact AfMrat men treat their wo- little bit better than c-fly ele 'Jnr-1 ae- when my wife and f ""JTir.c through Arkansas. a oan ndin' along m a ; '' r.r husband was be ll -'-es pullm' it down I turned to my wife --' r.d says.

Large Fire Rages In Olympic Forest ' PORT TOWNSEND. Wash June 13. The largesS army of forest firemen mobilized on the Olympia peninsula in recent years, weary after an all night fight against a fire that already had swept over 1.000 acres of Olym pic national forest, hoped to have the flames controlled late this morning. Robert D. Maclay. associate for ester at Quilcene ranger station, sent word here during the night, after a survey along the three mile fire front, he believed 700 CCC en- rollecs and forestry men and 400; civilians were gaining in their j battle to halt the costly spread or the blaze. Most of the acreage already swept by flames, he said, con tained snags and young timber. Little old timber had been des troyed, the forester said. Fire threatened valuable timber in the eastern portion of the Olympic national farest, famed as j America's last frontier. j The blaze, starting in Ingged-off , :.md four miles from Quilcene Fn- j n::y. covered Green mountain Sat- . urday and swept into the young timber beyond Saturday night. Eighty men narrowly escaped being cut off at the height of the fire Saturday when they were foned to throw much of thetr equipment into the little Quilcene uer and dash to safety. SHANGHAI, June 13 P-The United States government today informed Japan it had no inten tion of curtailing the activities of American warships on the Yang tze river to clear the path for the Japanese drive toward Hankow. The warships. Washington told the Japanese through Admiral Harry E. Yarnell and Frank P. Lockhart, consul general at Shang hai, were there to protect Amer ican lives and property. It was learned authoritatively that Lockhart, in replying to a warning from Masayuki Tani, Jap anese ambassador - at - large in China, pointed out that the war ships would continue to be sent anywhere deemed necessary to carry on their protective duties. Gunboat on Job The United States Gunboat Mo nocacy remained at Kiukiang, Yangtze port at the upper limit of what Japanese naval authorities Saturday designated as a "danger zone." It was stationed there for protection of some 40 Americans at Kiukiang or (he nearby moun tain resort of Killing. Admiral Yarnell was understood to have informed Nelson T. John son, American ambassador to Chi na, now at Hankow, that he still planned an inspection trip up the Yangtze to Nanking, starting June 25. British naval authorities. It was learned, had taken a similar stand against Japanese moves to keep the river closed to foreign shipping and warn-aft of neutral powers. Yarncll's report to Johnson was understood to have pointed out that American warships were marked plainly and could be iden tified readily by the Japanese. It was understood that Vice Ad miral Sir Percy Noble, commander in chief of the British China sta tion, held that it was the responsi bility of the Japanese to identify their targets. Anklnr Captured Powerful Japanese land and river forces today captured Ank ing, capital of Anhwei province, in a swift thrust up the Yangtze river . toward Hankow, China's provisional capital, less than 200 miles farther inland. Rising flood waters of the Yel low river, imperilling Japan's of fensive through Honan province, increased the possibility that the drive by land and wnter up the Yangtze may become the mam at tack on China's seat of govern ment. A Japanese army spokesman ac knowledged that fighting in the Chengchow sector, where Japanese are besieging the junction of the Lunghai and Peiping-Hankow railroads, was being hampered by mud and rain. Japanese army engineers said the Yellow river had risen 1ft feet but must rise another 13 be fore the situation could be con sidered perilous. a-:-.' . vT r "7 'tgyi TAPANKSE troops fighting to cross a stream In aoulh Shantung province, became literally a "luppnrl J column" when they leapt Into the water under Chinese fire from the opposite bank ana formed llv ing bridge so that their comrades, as pictured above, might crosj. Three Men Charged With Snagging Fish Publication of a recent news story to the effect that men and women were flocking to the tail race of the Eugene municipal power plant below Walterville to snag the salmon that were trying to mount the falls at the plant, took a state police officer to that point Sunday.

MiCaulry pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and costs while Raymond Davis Bnd Everett Par rish pleaded not guilty and will be tried later. The officer who made the ar rest says the law allows that sal mon i-hall only be taken with hooks in the mouth and even though they are caught n this manner and afterward snagged, it is against the law. Lawrence Spores was arraigned before Justice of the Peace John Bryson on a charge of Injuring and defacing forest trees on land owned by U. W. Ellmnker near Elmna. It Is alleged that he peel ed the bark from chittam trees. He pleaded not guilty and will be tried Thursday. Deputy Sheriff Bert Hulegaatd made the arrest.

Vanden berg (R-Mieh) said today that "representative democracy" in threatened by a drift "toward the concentration of central power in executive hands." "We are nearer to 'government by executive decree' and by bur eaucracy than ever before in our history," hrrietiared In a speech prepared for the Union College commencement. Senator Vandenterg, who re ceived an honorary degree of doc ftor of civil law, termed the situn- tion a "crisis In character" and said "we cannot expect an auto matic protection against the rest 'ness forces of Innovations which ihave smashed democracy elsewhere j among enlightened peoples." J "I speak to you in the profound : belief that the crisis which America j confronts is Infinitely more than I a crisis In government or econom ics; that it is, above all elhe, a crisis in character the character of our institutions, the character of citizenship itself," the senator declared. President-Gillette Discuss Primary At 5-Course Luncheon WASHINGTON.

June 13. (4t -A clear-cut determination of whether the administration's 11Cw farm bill is stop-gap legislation pending adoption of permanent plans for assistance of the fnrmer or a new step toward regimenta tion of agriculture was demanded today by Ray W. GUI, master of the stale grange, L Gill spoke before the OMh an nual session of the Oregon grange here, the fiit time the conference has been held in southeastern Ore gon. The master, who recently won re-election after a bitter battle with Ralph Perry, Hood River, made the farm bill the major topic of his annual address. Ho made no mention of the Perry campaign but asked for unity, a healthy ex pression of any differences and n zealous regard for agriculture's welfare. "Frankly I am very much con cerned about the trends that this (the farm) bill establishes," he said. "If we are to treat thii as emergency legislation or at a stop gap until other plans can be put into operation, then the sltuutlon is much less scrtoutt, but if the bill is Die beginning of n permanent plan for agriculture, then 1 urn de cidedly against some of its regi mental provisions." Gill laid particular stress on a section "which sets up govern mental con. ml over the acreage quotas which fanners can produce in rertain major crops." "Whenever the government by all of its force and power, tells a farmer how ma ny acres of th Is crop or that crop he can plant and how muih he can sell without be ing penalized, then I think we ithould know what kind of rond we are traveling," said the master.
