(U.R) Miss Dolores Vasquez, 76, who dis closed locations in Texas where Mexican revolutionary Gen. , Pancho Villa buried $1,500,000 in gold coins, told today of addi tional riches buried in Mexico. The frail spinster, a former colonel who commanded Villa's women's forces, said she knows of scattered hiding places of $8,000,000 in gold and silver bul lion in Mexico. "I don't dare tell the exact places," she said, explaining she feared reprisals from Villa's men still living. One huge cache of bold bullion and silver bars is hidden in a cavern in Mexico, she said. Miss Vasquez was released yesterday from the hospital where she had been taken with heat prostration. While there, she believed she was near death, and dictated a "will" leaving the treasure to "disabled veterans." i O 0 Ever wish you could wave goodbye to the stay-at-homes on shore ? pLOWERS in state rooms . . . champagne, confu sion and telegrams I An exciting send-off for the vacation of your life ! Everybody deserves at least one trip to far-off lands to see exciting travel spots to visit old friends and relatives to make a lifetime of memories. Don't you wish you were taking off? The shortest route between you in your armchair and you in a deck chair is via the Payroll Savings Plan. Join the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. Tell your company pay office how much you want to save each payday. They'll save out that amount from your check before you have a chance to spend it. Then, when enough money accumulates in your account, they'll buy you a U. S. Series E Savings Bond. That's when your nest egg really starts growing. When held to maturity (9 years and 8 months) each Series E Bond pays an average of 3 per year, compounded semiannually. And now, with the automatic extension privilege it will go on paying that same fine interest for 10 more years. That means a return of up to 80 more than you originally invested. By investing regularly in U.S. Savings Bonds, you can easily get that long awaited ocean trip . . . that down payment on a new home ... or other impor tant savings goals. For example, save just $5.00 every week through the Payroll Savings Plan. In 5 short years you'll have $1,367 enough to take you where you want to go. Join the Payroll Savings Plan today If you're self-employed, start investing regularly in UniUd States Savings Bonds where you bank! The V. S. Government doe not pay or this advertising.

Hurricane Connie had slowed her pace to 10 to 11 miles an hour. Coastal areas of North and South Carolina were put on "critical" -alert for the next 12 to 24 hours although the Miami Weather Bureau acknowledged that the big blow's course could swing away from the mainland. Encampment Interrupted The North Carolina Air Na tional Guard abruptly inter rupted its annual encampment at Savannah, Ga., ahead of time and flew for home because of the storm. The encampment will be resumed when hurricane dan ger is over. In midmorning, the hurricane center was 470 miles east of Jacksonville, Fla., and 370 miles south-southeast of Cape Hattaras, N.C. Small craft warnings were raised from Jacksonville, Fla., to Block Island, R.I. The Navy sent its big ships out to sea from Hampton Roads. Some military planes were evacuated from the coast. The Red Cross went on alert. A weather forecaster said that although the hurricane has grad ually shifted to a northerly course that would keep it at sea, "it isn't time yet to say it has cleared land. "With it slowed down like this we can't say what it will do even though it might look like it will miss land," he said. Moving Northward The Miami Weather Bureau in a midnight advisory located the storm at 28.8 north, 73.0 west, about 450 miles east of Titusville, Fla., and said it was moving northward about 12 miles per hour. rne weather Bureau pre dicted, cautiously, that Connie would continue the present course and relatively slow for ward speed, for the next 12 hours, and bring high tides to Florida, Georgia and Carolina shores by tonight. Observers on hurricane hunter planes tracking Connie 24 hours a day reported the hurricane, now full grown after moving five days over water, packed winds of 135 miles per hour near the center. "Hurricane winds (75 miles per hour or above extend out 120 miles to the north and east and 50 miles to the southwest, and gales extend out 350 miles to the north and east and 150 miles to the southwest," the re port said. One engine of a B29 recon naissance plane with 12 men aboard conked out in the calm "eye" of the hurricane Monday and some crew members kissed the ground after they flew back through the tempest unharmed with a broken fuel line. Capt. George Newkirk of Lindsay, Calif., commander of the Air Force plane, said he feathered the idle propeller of one of his two starboard engines, trimmed the plane and "hauled out of there fast." f Patch of Marijuana Raided Near Nyssa Nyssa (U.R) State police Sgt. Russell Haynes and Liquor Control Inspector Bill Courtney yesterday raided a marijuana patch which had been carefully cultivated in an inaccessible area two miles south of here On the bank of the Snake river. Police had had the patch un der surveilance for some time and moved in yesterday just be fore harvest time. No arrests have been made. Tanlos just the same?

SPECIALISTS IN HOMEWARES Central Point Medford Washington 'U.R) The U.S. Weather Bureau manned a vastly improved hurricane warning sys tem today to alert East Coast points which may be endangered by Hurricane Connie. "We have marshalled all our resources," a bureau spokesman said. "We are ready for any thing." Ever since last year's hurri cane sisters Carol, Edna and Hazel ravaged the Atlantic coast with a record-breaking $800,000,000 damage, the Weath er Bureau has given top priority to finding better ways of track ing hurricanes and alerting com munities in their paths. One of the most valuable addi tions to the bureau's alert system is a big radar station at Cape Hattaras, N. C. Every known hur ricane that has struck the north east coast has swept within 200 miles of the Cape. The radar screen can reach out 250 miles into the Atlantic to trace the storms. The radar station went into op eration last week. Cape Hatteras Key Point Norman Hagen, one of the Weather Bureau's hurricane ex perts, said Cape Hatteras is the key point in tracking hurricanes heading north. Upon reaching Hatteras, hurricanes normally speed up and curve" their ultimate destination, he said. Another important improve ment in the warning system is the addition of 11 major Eastern cities to the Weather Bureau's hurricane teletype circuit. These cities Portland, Me.; Hartford, Conn.; New Haven, Conn.; Prov- Aviation Leaders Meet in Convention San Francisco (U.R) Some 4000 aviation leaders gathered today for the six-day national convention of the Air .Force As sociation. They will hear talks and re ports on every aspect of aviation and air power during the meet ing. Today's activities consisted of the AFA golf championship, and a lunch by the Pacific Wings Club. Serious business gets under way tomorrow with the Reserve Officers Clinic. Senior man on the panel of Air Reserve leaders will be Lt. Gen. Leon W. John son, Medal of Honor winner and commander of the Continental Air Command. A speaker at the clinic will be John I. Larom, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for toward Reserve and ROTC officers. Help lor Russian Agriculture Urged New York (U.R) A top ex pert in foreign trade said today the United States can strike a blow for world peace by helping Russia improve agricultural production. "It is usually hungry people and have-not nations that start wars," said Gottfried Neubur ger, an official of a firm that sponsors international trade fairs and expositions. "If people are satisfied," he said in an interview, "they won't want to go to war." The 48-year-old executive of International Trade Shows re cently urged the Soviet Union to permit a U.S. trade exposition specializing in agriculture to be held in Moscow next summer. That plan is said to be under "serious consideration" by Rus sian authorities. The U. S. navy's first sub marine derived its power from a conventional four cylinder gas oline engine. idence, R. I.; Atlantic City, N. J.; Wilmington, Del.; Albany, N.Y.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Richmond, Va.; Raleigh, N.C; and Wilming ton, N.C. now receive all hurri cane information instantaneous ly. There is no delay, as existed last year, in relaying the infor mation from such cities as Mi ami, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The Air Force and Navy also are providing improved hurri cane service this year. They will fly more hurricane reconnais sance flights than ever and carry extra equipment to give better details of the storms. Emergency Basis Operation The bureau itself has added extra emergency equipment to insure rapid transmission of hur- o ricane reports. The 'radar statioa at Cape Hatteras, for example, has a special radio hookup with Washington headquarters in cas its ground transmission lines are knocked out. The bureau alt$ has a telephone hookup that permits immediate contact with field of fices along the coast. WTith the hurricane season started, the Weather Bureau is operating on an emergency basis. Staffs of bureaus along the coast have been increased, other weathermen are standing by to be dispatched to "assault" areas, and many staff members are working 12-ljour shifts. Special warning' centers have been set up in major Eastern cities to help newspapers and radio and television stations pub licize hurricane warnings. DR. MILTON R.
