walked auddenly 'nto telephone,
cable and wlreleaa offices. A
whole ayatem of centrallilng
newa In London for rapid and
co-ordinated forwarding to New
York almply vanished.
Before the war, .Associated
Preaa. bureaua from Moacow to
Lisbon telephoned much of the
newa to London where It went
on an American cable, operated
by Associated Preaa men In the
London office, and received in
the Associated i'less' New York
office without passing through
tho customary cabin terminal re
lays. All bureaua abroad filed
dispatches dlroct to New York
occasionally to have such alter
nate routes functioning smooth
ly. British censors put this system
out of action by cutting all nor
mal communlcnlions with tho
European continent, for some
". days even lines with France, her
ally, wore interrupted. Soon the
British cut tho German and Ital
ian cables. Later relaxation of
aomo restrictions woro Insuffi

quickly proved to be good cen

GRANGEV1LLE, Ida., Oct. 21
(JP) Coroner Glen Allor said
today akeleton, believed that
of Grover Wray of Welser, had
been found 35 miles northeast
of Kooskia under circumstances
which indicated Wray "could
not have become lost."
Wray, then 26, disappeared
November 2, 1038, in Idaho's
primitive area while on a hunt
ing trip.
Allor returned late last night
from trie Meeker creek area
where the remain were found
and said the skeleton showed no
evidence of gunshot wounds.
Allor said Sam Seiber of Wels

ice showed that these first
quotas would be exhausted
about June 15, by which time
new ones may be given out.

Seiber went into the area Oc

father, Grover, Wray Sr., and
two other men to continue
search which hai continued pe

The coroner said Seiber told
him he dreamed Thursday night
that he "could locate tha body
lying in Meeker creek."
"To satisfy his curiosity ha
went to the creek," Allor added.
"Pursuing his hunch, he travel
ed three mile before he found
the skeleton. It wa practically
at the head of the creek."
Explaining hi contention
that Wray could not have been
lost, Allor said the remains were
found in the atream . beside
which his hunting party had
camped Just two and a quarter
miles downstream, and that it
was less than a mile from tha
spot where the party's horse had
been tied the day Wray disappeared.
