APACHE So reads a tablet on a monument to Jacob Walz, erected here by the Phoenix Dons club, an organization to perpetuate the lore of the Southwest says the Associated Press. Recently 2,100 tourists from 27 states drove the 50 miles from Phoenix to Superstition mountain for an annual Lost Dutchman trek. Dozens ,,of searchers have met mysterious death in the canyons there. Yet the ore lies unrevealed. Beware lest you, too, succumb to the lure of the Lost Dutchman, the marker warns. Spends Life at It. Best local authority on the Lost Holmes, Dutchman, is Brownie middle-age- d cowboy who has spent half his life seeking the treasure. He will show you specimens of wire gold, cuff links and a scarf pin of wire gold imbedded in quartz all actually taken from the lost mine, he swears. When Walz was dying, Holmes says, "he tailed my father1 in and My said, 'Look under the bed. dad pulled out a small box and the Dutchman gave it to him. It had $4,000 worth of ore in it.

Brownie still remembers the verbal directions his father received from the dying prospector. After 20 years, Brownie has narrowed his e radius of search to a Weavers Needle, a stone spire landmark. t The land is public domain, says Tom Fitzwater, Dons president, and under federal law a prospector can still stake a claim. But the Lost Dutchman mine is a sore subject with sheriffs deputies at nearby Florence. Every year theres three or four smart Easterners come out here and get lost in the Superstition looking for that mine and we have to quit work for a week and go get em out sometimes in a. hearse. , Price ini WASHINGTON, D.

Declaring that Russian seizures had thrown industries valued at two billion dollars in Manchuria out of gear, Pauley said that the reduced productive plant would set almost a billion oriental people back a generation in their economic development unless the damage were repaired. Although accompanied by none of the fanfare of the first surface test, the underwater explosion of the atomic bomb m Bikini lagoon produced equally startling results, with the one sinking no less than ten ships and heavily damaging six others. Hours after the blast, the water of Bikini lagoon remained too hot from radioactivity set off by the bomb to permit close inspection of the damage. Clouds along a front became contaminated with atomic particles and naval observers disclosed that rain from the mass could be deadly.

Citing increased labor and material costs since 1940 and an anticipated slackening in the record wartime volume, the carriers request for a permanent 25 per cent rate boost would supplant the temporary raise of 6 per cent on most commodities, and 3 per cent on agricultural products. PALESTINE: Hit Terrorism - NEW YORK. The use of Hunter college in New York City as a temporary home for the United Nations has cost the world organization approximately $275,000. U. N. officials estimate that as the. amount spent at Hunter during the five and a half months tenancy which would not have been spent otherwise. It cannot be salvaged for removal to the new temporary headquarters at the Sperry Gyroscope plant at Lake Success, Long Island, and the New York building at the former Worlds Fair site. It is estimated that an additional $100,000 will be spent in restoring Hunter to the college authorities in its original condition. From this, however, can be subtracted an estimated $100,000 of physical equipment which can be moved to Sperry. This is mostly office furnishings, carpets and hangings for the council chambers and conference rooms and loudspeaker installations. Officials estimate that 80 per cent of the physical equipment can be salvaged. Gems of Thought ed s .

Precedent for the demotion of Russias No. 1 soldier lay in the subordination of Marshal MichaU Tukhachevsky from top leadership of the strong Red army he had built to an insignificant provincial command before his execution. It also was said that Zhukov had lost Stalins favor because of the breakdown of Red army discipline after victory had been won. As a result of the Soviet troops manhandling of conquered people and the looting of their possessions, Russia has suffered a huge loss of prestige in eastern Europe. , ' of . perspiration r odor THE .
