Most Extensive "These exercises," said the Nivy, "will be the largest end most extensive peacetime maneu vers ever held." The war games will give the Navy a chance to test the effec tiveness of its newest anti-submarine devices and its Jet fighter clanes which will be operating for the first time from aircraft carriers.

It said only that a "simu lated" atom bomb would be used as an "offensive weapon" and that the mock bomblng would be ac- Too Many Visitors At Eugene's Dump Eugene's municipal dump grounds have been visited by too many strangers lately, City Re corder Henry Belstcl said Monday In warning that other-than-Eu-gene residents must pay a dump ing fee when they use the facility. The dumpground is free to per sons who can Identify themselves as being from Eugene, the city of ficial said; all others must pay a fee. But lately, people from other communities have left refuse and gone away without leaving a penny. ""Our dumping grounds are lim ited as to space," Beistel said. VWe Just can't have others coming In and using it." Unofficial opinion was that the unwanted visitors are from small er towns who charge their own people for dumping.

The Island -will be considered part of the "African Eurasion land mass, an 'enemy' area heavily fortified and held by a substantial number of troops." Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, will be in charge of the maneuvers. The first, or Bermuda phase, will be a test submarine warfare. Six guppy-snorkel type and eight standard submarines will fight a striking force on its way to pro tect the landing at Vieques Island. D-Day March Z The main part of the maneu vers, the mock landing on Vieques, will follow. A Joint expeditionary force of American and Canadian soldiers, supported by ships and planes, will attack on D-Day, which is scheduled for March 2. Some 330 U.S. Army troops from Ft. Riley, Kans., will defend the Island with "mechanical de vices." The Navy said they will be considered equivalent to 6000 enemy troops. On March 1, an attacking force will feint at Vieques. The second task fleet, under Vice Adm. D. B. Duncan, will aid the attack with 57 ships, 14 land-based air squad rons, 16 carrier-based squadrons, a helicopter and several blimps. Seek Two Beachheads The main assault on D-Day will be commanded by Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Keller G. Rockey. His forces will fight for two beach heads. "The Island is expected to be 'secured' in three days," the Navy said. . . After the Vieques attack, there will be another submarine battle in the "Haiti phase," and on March 15 carrier-based planes will attack the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, Cuba.

Heavy Storm Heads for NW SEATTLE (P) A heavy storm heading for the Pacific Northwest centered about 1000 miles off the mouth of the Columbia River Monday, the weather bureau re ported.
