Y., May 25.—Cadet John Steen Conner, for whom a wide- More Than 200 Register by Noon, With Hundreds More Waiting to Sign. istration, anxious to accept President spread search had been under way since | Roosevelt's offer to work in the woods he disappeared from the United States Military Academy Sunday night, was found wandering along the upper edge of the academy grounds last night. Deeply tanned from two days and three nights in the open, Conner was taken to the cadet hospital suffering Irom lack of food and sleep. His clothing was badly torn, but he #ppeared to have suffered no ill effects beyond exposure. At the time of his disappearance academy authorities expressed the belief he might have wandered off under the strain of overstudy. A high-ranking student, he was scheduled to be gradu- ated with honors this month. Authorities refrained from question- ing him at the hospital. Conner volun- teered the information, however, that he had spent most of the time in the ‘woods north of the 2,500-acre reserva- tion. This area, including the jagged slopes of Storm King Mountain on the west bank of the Hudson River, had been covered by searching parties made up of Regular Army soldiers and State troopers. ‘When found by a Sergt. Roberts, a veteran of 29 years in the Regular Army, Conner was dressed in gray flan- nel trousers, a black sweatér and tennis shoes, the same clothing that was miss- ing from his room. Sergt. Roberts said he found Conner loitering about the service detachment garden. He maneuvered Conner onta a main road when they encountered a mem- ber of the military police. Capt. M. H. Parsons, the provost marshal, who had been in charge of the search, was no- tified. “You look ~hungry,” Roberts re- marked to Conner, “I am,” replied the cadet. “I have only had one piece of cake since Sun- day night. I just found it near the children’s playground.” At the hospital, where he probably will remain for a few days for ob- servation and treatment, Conner was offered a light meal of milk, orange juice and broth. He ate with apparent relish. . He then was told to rest. at $1 a day. Before noon more than 200 had. been registered, with several -hundred -more milling about outside, waiting to. get a chance to sign up in the Civilian Conservation Corps. All of the men thus far registered have given out-of- town addresses and are believed to be remnants of the bonus army that was in convention here last week or veterans who arrived too late for the sessions. Two Weeks' Delay Seen. it was said the men probably eould not be sent to training camps for at least two weeks. There are no vacancies in the Army camps in this vicinity at pres- ent, it was explained, and-until those now in training have been transferred Registration of Washington veterans for the reforestation work will be be- SuD as soon as arrangements can be made to handle the men after they have been signed up, it was said at the Vet- erans’ Administration. Director Fechner's cffice repeated again today the warning that veterans would be better off if they stayed in their home communities and registered for the forestry work, rather than com- ing to Washington. Instructions have gone forward to regional officers of the Veterans’ Administration to begin reg- istrations immediately and it was em- phasized that enroliment of the vetes ans would be expedited if they re- mained ‘at home. Meanwhile, Mike Thomas, chief of the late bonus army, today warned ‘Washingtonians against _contributing money to alleged veterans for the “sup- port of the 1933 bonus movement.” ‘The notice, which Thomas said was “presented as a protection to the pub- lic,” read: “The public is requested to refuse to give funds to any person for this purpose, as we are not soliciting funds from the public. Expresses Hospitality Thanks. Thomas’ statement expressed appre- ciation for the *“hospitality” extended by the Government and the “kindness” of President Roosevelt. Representative Virginia E. Jenckes, Democrat, of Indiana, read to the House yesterday afternoon a letter she received from the officers of the “right wing” of Meanwhile word that he had been found was sent to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Conner of Medford, Oreg., and to the adjutant general at Wash- ington. — CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.
