A hard wind was blowing at
the time and the formation was

"This fourth report of smoke
or gas rising from the lake would
seem to confirm previous reports
and also to confirm activity of
some kind in the old crater of
Mount Mazama," Leavitt stated.
It is thought that the smoke or
gas possibly rises from a vent in
the lake floor and makes its way
to the surface of the water.
First Seen Sept. IS
First report of the formation
was on Sept. 15 and was made
by Mrs. Linda Newhail, lookout
on Watchman peak, who stated
that the day was calm and clear
and the surface of the lake
"smooth. Second of the reports
was made by Dale Vincent on
Sept. 17. Vincent, photographer,
naturalist and writer, also said
he saw the cloud on a clear, quiet
day, and he could see not other
clouds or formations of any sort

On Sept. 30 Ranger Hulburt
saw a similar gas or smoke cloud
from a spot on the west side of
the lake and he continued to ob
serve it as he moved along the

the time Hulburt reached the

NAZI LABOR BOSS
SUICIDES IN CELL
ON EVEOF TRIAL
Robert Ley Leaves Disjoint
ed Note Conceding Errors
Of Nazism, Anti-Semitism
Nuernberg, Oct. 26 fti.RJ
Robert Ley, former Nazi tabor
boss who killed himself last
night, left a rambling "political
testament" mouthing of being
forsaken by God and recanting
his erstwhile rabid anti-Semit
ism, it was learned today.
Ley's body was burned un
ceremoniously today in a potter's
field on the outskirts of this war-
torn city where he was sched
uled to go on trial as a war
criminal next month. His grave
was unmarked and the site kept
secret.
Derangement Seen
American authorities revealed
later in the day that before he
hanged himself In his prison cell.
Ley composed a strange docu
ment conceding the errors of
Nazism and indicating that his
downfall had deranged him to
some extent.
Ley's document, labeled "My
Political Testament, was ad
dressed to "My German people."
In it he wrote:
"We have forsaken God, and
therefore we were forsaken by
God.'
The Nazi who was chief of all
labor in Germany had been one
of Adolf Hitler's most enthusias
tic persecutors of the Jews now
appealed to the German people
and to the Jews themselves to
find a way of living together In
peace. He proposed a three-
point yrogram:
1. Creation of a joint board
of Jews and Gentiles "honestly
prepared to find conditions under
which the Jews and Germans
could live together."
2. A similar joint executive
committee to implement the de
cisions of the board.
3. Thorough-going organiza
tion for education and propagan
da to spread the board s idea to
every corner of Germany,
Responsibility Told
While death waited for him in
hi prison cell where he haneed
himself to the plumbing. Ley
wrote of the Nazi misdeeds:
"1 have been one of those re
sponsible. I was with Hitter in
the good old days, and I want to
be with him now In the black
days. God led me in whatever 1
did, he lifted me up and now he
lets me fall.
"I have tortured myself to find
a reason for the downfall, and
this is my conclusion; we have
forsaken God and therefore we
were forsaken by God.
"Anti-Semitism distorted onr
outlook, and we made great er
rors. It is hard to admit mis
takes, but the whole existence
of our people is at stake.
"We Nazis must have the cour
age to rid ourselves of anti
Semitism. We must teli our
youth that it was a mistake.
The youth will never believe our
enemies. Men may fall, parties
and systems may disappear, but
the people must remain and
live."
