Burial of More Villa Gold Loo! Disclosed
Brawley, Calif. (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."

Ever wish you could wave
goodbye to the

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!

Connie Slows Pace
As Carolinas Put
On 'Critical' Alert
Miami (U.R) The Atlantic
Seaboard began making serious
preparations today for a giant of
a hurricane that was lumbering
through the Atlantic almost 500
miles offshore..
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."

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?
Electric water heater tanks may look

When you've used one for years, you'll
say 'Tanks for the memories" of won

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.
