One of the most determined man-hunts this area has known was conducted yesterday by State and municipal police, game ward¬ ens and a police plane and was climaxed at 6:30 p.m. with the surrender of three youths from Hagerstown, Md.
They gave up when troopers sur¬ rounded them on the Erie Rail¬ road, near Suscon Road, Pittston township. AU three have police records.
The youths, arrested by Pvt. Harold Casper and Pvt. George Owczarski of Wyoming Barracks, are:
William C. Turner, 18, of R.D.3, Hagerstown, Md., who did time in Maryland State Reformatory for a 1947 burglary after having been picked up in West Virginia. He also added another burglsury charge to his record since then, according to State Police.

Union Preparing To Spend Millions In 1950 Campaigns
ST. PAUL—The APL last night added four Democratic senator* to its 1950 election blacklist.
The union, which earlier thia week announced it would oppose eight Republican sen{.tors in their bids for reelection, expanded Its lists to include another Republican and  the  four Democrats.
The    Democrats    who    will     be fought by the AFt,—and  probably most of the rest of organized labor, are: Oeorge, Tjdings on List
Sens. Walter F. George of Geor¬ gia; Milliard E. Tydings of Mary^ land, J. William Fulbright of Ar kansas and Clyde R. Hoey of North Carolina. The Republican added to the AFIL "enemy list" was Clyde M. Reed of Kansas.
The AFL now Is in politics In a big way after years of refusing to participate actively in election cam¬ paigns. The union plans to collect and spend millicms of dollars in the 1950 elections.

Thousands Disappear; Believed Shipped to Prison Camps in Final Drive on Capitalism
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia. «— Scores of new arrests were reported in Prague and the rest of the country Saturday as the govern¬ ment pushed ahead with what was described as the biggest roundup since the C>}mmunists took over In February, 1948.
What first seemed to be a drive against the remnants of capitalism —small shopkeepers, manufacturers and professional men—tonight be¬ gan to shape up as a major blow at the largest remaining group capable of blocking Communist objectlvea. No Explanation
So far no comment on the re¬ ported, arrests had been forthcom¬ ing from any government source. Questions from correspondents have gone unanswered.
Informed source* had two theor¬ ies for the sudden drive:
1. The government haa set In motion its secret "T.B." or class warfare plan to wipe out what re¬ mained of the middle class.
2. The government has discov¬ ered a major plot which may re¬ sult in a trial similar to the Laszlo Rajk trial in Budapest aimed pri¬ marily against the Vatican, Yugo¬ slavia  and  the  United States.
The arrests began Sunday, less than 24 hours after four men were shot to death mysteriously by tom- mygun slugs from sleeping cars. Since then some 2,000 to 5,000 per¬ sons, according to the best infor¬ mation available, have been arrest¬ ed in Prague alone. Thousands more reportedly were arrested in other parts of the cpuntry.

WASHINCiTON.—The Navy has challenged the air force to test its B-36 atomic bomber against Navy jet fighters in a sky duel It pre¬ dicted would Bcraip tiie super- bomber.
That challenge was made dicing a House armed services committee hearing Saturday that brought De¬ fense Secretary Louia Johnson and his Pentagon aides under as much fire as the controversial B-36.
Committee Chairman CJarl Vin¬ son, D., Ga., ripped into Johnson's handling of the defense department. He said the Secretary is "out of sympathy" with naval aviation. And Vinson added that he can under¬ stand why Navy officers are wor¬ ried over the future of their-serv¬ ice.
Vinson wrung from Navy Secre¬ tary Francis P. Matthews the opinion that $800,000,0(X) in new economy cuts ordered by Johnson "very definitely" would "curtail" the Navy's ability to help defend the national security.

to stern, Vinson called to the wlt» ness stand Opt Fred F. Trapnell, a jet fighter expert who commands the naval air test center at Patux¬ ent River, Md.
Trapnell supported and e1abor> ated on the claim advanced Friday by Adm. Arthur W. Radford, com¬ mander-in-chief of the Pacifio Fleet that the B-36 is no match for the Navy's new jet fighters.
Traipnell said the Navy jet» could blast the six-engined B-S6 out of the skies at any time, day or night, at any altitude or speed the giant boml>er could reach.
"Ownparative tests, carefully run and carefuUy evaluated, must be made." he said.
Trapnell invited the committee members to go along on the B-38 as observers in the mock battle.
"You would see Navy jet) Ban¬ shees diving and zooming all around you and making repeated gunnery attacks at speed advantages of over 1000 miles per hour," he told the congressmen.
Trapnell said two Banshees would give the heavily-armed B-S6 "a fair fight." Three would "insure its destruction," he said, and one would do the job if it were handled in the Japanese Kamikaze style— ramming Into the bomber.
Air Force leaders have pooh- poohed the idea of a duel between their B-38 and the Navy jets. They (Continued on  Page A-2)

TWIN FALLS, Ida.—The moun¬ tainous West today dug out from under the "worst early season snowstorm since the turn of the century."
Hundreds of himters who went into the woods of Idaho for the opening of the big game season were trapped by the heavy snow¬ fall late Friday and early Satur¬ day.
However, heavy equipment was quickly mobilized—weeks ahead of the West's ordinary winter sched¬ ule—and authorities said most marooned men. women and chil¬ dren would be brought back to civilization quickly.
By mid-afternoon, virtually all roads into the once snowbound areas had been opened and the marooned hunters were on their way out—or voluntarily staying to finish their shooting.
An officer at Galena Summit, north of Twin Falls on the main highway  into SUnley  Basin, aaid
10 inches of snow had meltel rapidly, that the roads were "sum¬ mer good" and that traffic—"both ways"—was heavy.
Depth of the fall ranged from only a few flakes in the lower valleys to more than three feet in drifts that 'quickly lodged around the higher mountains. Give Up Hope for 2
Little damage—except for frost¬ bite—was reported, despite the spread of the storm through Utah, Idaho. Montana, Wyoming, north¬ ern Nevada, northern Colorado, eastern "Washington, eastern Ore¬ gon and  the  Dakutas.
The storm hampered the search for two persons lost in the moun¬ tains earlier. Little hope was held for the survival of Frank Norris, 46, Ft. Bridger, Wyo., missing m the rugged Gros Ventre country north of Pinedale, Wyo., and Mrs. Lois Schreigost, 27, Rose Creek. Ida., missing since Wednesday in the  northern  Idaho Panhandle.
At famed Sun Valley, Ida., David Katz, 22, Springfield, Mass., w*» killed when he struck a stump aa he fell 15 feet from a ski lift tower he was readyln* for the winter season.
George H. WaUon, mayor et colorful Alte, minlng-sklln ©ente- high In the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City, said the storm was the worst for this early season "since the turn of the eea- tury."
Gov. J. Braken Lee of Utak urged western farmers to lay in supplies of food, fuel and feed im¬ mediately to avoid a repetition ol last winter's roaring bllziarda and hardships.
The storm moved Into the north¬ west and mountain statea from the Gulf of Alaska. The Weather Bureau said it was disBlpatlng quickly and clearing weather waa forecast for most of the Weet to¬ day.
