Os 35 major forest and brush
fires that broke out in eight
Western states and Canada
since last Wednesday, only 11
were reported still out of
control.
At least 110,000 acres of
timber and grasslands has so
far been burned and authorities
estimated damage at more than
S6O million.
“Most fire managers in the
Northwest feel this is the worst
season ever,” said John Hafter
son, head of the National
Interagency Fire Center in
Boise, Idaho.
Hafterson said 80 per cent of
34 major forest fires in eight western states and Canada,
has, according to a U.S. Forest Service spokesman,
destroyed timber valued at SSO million. (UPI)
the federal firefighting forces
had been brought into the battle
against the flames. Dozens of
commercial airliners and Air
Force Cl3O Hercules transport
planes shuttled the men in from
nearly every state in the union.
Forest fires still burned out
of control in Northern Califor
nia, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and
Montana. Earlier blazes in
Washington, Utah and Wyoming
were reported controlled.
6,500 on Fire Lines
About 6,500 firefighters were
actually on the fire lines, with
another 2,500 men in support
crews. Another 300 were on the
way from the Eastern United
States plus 300 more from
Alaska.
One fire in western Montana
at Caribou Ridge burned 2,000
acres in the Kootenai National
Forest, then leaped the border
into Canada where it burned
6,000 acres before being con
tained.
National Guard troops backed
up firefighters on lines in
Oregon and Idaho.
Helicopters with huge buckets
slung over them scooped 250-
gallon loads of water from
rivers to pour on the flames.
Fleets of World War II
bombers flew almost treetop to
drop chemical retardants on
the flames. Two of them
crashed during the weekend in
California, but no one was
injured.

Oregon Fires Out of Control
Fires in northeastern and
southern Oregon blew out of
control Sunday evening behind
winds of up to 30 miles an hour
and rising temperatures.
A 2,200 acre blaze was
“burning like oil” in steep
rugged country on the Oregon
side of Hells Canyon near the
Oregon-Idaho border.
A U.S. Forest Service spokes
man said he had no estimate of
the acreage burned since the
blowup but “it was a lot more
fire than we did have.”
A fire burning in timber and
thick brush on the west city
limits of the southern Oregon
town of Klamath Falls blew out
of control Sunday afternoon and
doubled in size.
The worst fire in California
blackened 12,000 acres in the
Stanislaus National Forest,
where firefighters manned lines
only three miles from the
border of Yosemite National
Park.
The fire, which caused an
estimated SSO million damage
in lost timber, was running
parallel to the park, but a
granite ledge was expected to
prevent the flames from
entering the park.

Rebel forces on move
PHNOM PENH (UPI) -
Large insurgent forces began
moving today toward two
provincial capitals and terrorist
bombings inside Phnom Penh
coupled with new fighting
outside the city signaled the
apparent start of the long
feared rebel offensive in the
country.
Military sources said three
rebel regiments totaling rough
ly 4,500 men have approached
to within six miles of Kompong
Cham on the Mekong River 50
miles northeast of Phnom
Penh.
Kompong Cham is Cam
bodia’s third major city after
Phnom Penh and Battambang.

WORTHING, England (UPI)
— Vacationer John Cousins
dropped his car key down a
drain Sunday just as his
parking meter time ran out.
A traffic warden appeared
and told Cousins where to buy a
magnet and string. A few
minutes fishing with the mag
net on the string brought up the
key and Cousins drove off
without a parking ticket.

Body search resumes
GALVESTON, Tex. (UPI) -
Two couples told police they
think they saw men who looked
like the persons responsible for
the murders of 27 boys bury
some more bodies among the
shifting sand dunes of Galves
ton Island.
The tips sent police out on the
island Saturday digging with
shovels, but Police Chief D. K.
Lack said the dunes along the
Gulf of Mexico are so numerous
and so high the hunt was being
delayed until a road grader
could be brought to the location
today.
“We can’t overlook the
possibility that there are more
bodies,” Lack said. “We can’t
just ignore it.”
The couples said the persons
burying what could have been
bodies looked like Elmer
Wayne Henley, 17, David Owen
Brooks, 18, and Dean Arnold

Time magazine reports that a
federal grand jury, acting on

third Maryland contractor has

gave kickbacks to Agnew.
The contractor was identified
as Allen I. Green, 49, president
of a Maryland engineering

refugees.
Near Kompong Speu, 30 miles

rebel named Chau Sary, mili

Corll, 33. Henley and Brooks
have already led police to three
burial grounds where 27 bodies
were unearthed.
Henley and Brooks have been
indicted in connection with
some of the murders. Henley
told police he shot Corll in self
defense Aug. 8.
According to Houston homi
cide detective, K. D. Porter,
one couple said they saw two
men carrying a long, wrapped
package across the dunes last
February. They said a third
man, with “long, blond hair,”
was with them. Brooks has
shoulder-length blond hair.
The witness, identified as C.
C. Abernathy, told Porter he
remembered telling his wife at
the time: “Hey, baby,
somebody’s burying a body.”
According to the detective,
Abernathy said the two men
carrying the bundle resembled
firm. He was reported to have
told investigators that he gave
kickbacks to Agnew about five
times a year while Agnew was
governor of Maryland in 1967-68
and on a reduced scale after
Agnew became vice president
in 1969.
Time said the grand jury “is
expected to vote an indictment
next month charging Agnew
with, among other things,
bribery and extortion.” It
quoted a Justice Department
official as saying “the depart
ment has no choice.

Penh to the battle site near
Kompong Speu, the sources
said.
Three terrorist bombings
Sunday hit crowded downtown
Phnom Penh, quiet since last
week’s U.S. bomb halt, and
field reports said fresh fighting
broke out when a battalion of
guerrilla troops advanced to
within five miles of the canital.

The other couple told Porter
they were searching for a
campsite on the beach last
June and drove to where two
cars were parked. They said a
hole was dug in the sand and
they could see a long wrapped
bundle.

They said one of the men, one
resembling Henley, came to
ward them with “a menacing
expression,” and so they left.
They also said a man who
looked like Corll was there and
another boy “with long hair”
was present. But they couldn’t
identify this person as Brooks.
