PARK TO REPLACE BANDIT HIDEOUT Eastern Oklahoma’s Rug- ged Cookson Hills Soon to Be Deserted. MUSKOGEE. Okla, (A —Eastern Oklahoma's Cookson Hills, bandit hideout since territorial days, soon may be deserted. The hills, the fugitive ecriminal's dream, with their deep gullies, honvy} underbrush and almost impassable roads. are not a fit place for humans | to live, the Government has decreed. The first sale of submarginal land the area was made recently, the buying 400 acres from George Shaffer, who then bought 40 acres of fertile land in the nearby Arkansas River Bottoms. While the exchange price was not announced, it. was learned one landowner had been | offered $10 an acre for his hill land | property. [ Families to Be Moved. Government appraisers are at work in the territory, and actual removal | of the 500 families is expected to be- gin as soon as the land deals ne complejed. Pew of the settlers are so attached | to the rocky hills where they have wrested a meager existence from the poor soil that they want to stay | To the farmers who own their land the Government is offering a trade. ‘To the tenant farmers, who make up 50 per cent of the area’s residents, the Government is offering better land on | & long term payment plan. The non- resident lardowners also are pleased 10 lease or sell their land, disfigured by erosion guilies. Relief figures reveal stricken plight of the hill dwellers. Approximately 75 per cent of the people in the district are on relief rolls. There is little hope that their land. which produces only 300 pounds of eotton to the acre in the best years, will ever bring them enough money for a comfortable living. That is the reason the Government has declared the 60,000 acres “submarginal.” No Santa Claus Plan. *“I want it understood that this is no Santa Clause proposition, though,” | Charles Kirkpatrick, director of the Pederal land reclamation project, said “Tt is an effort to take these people off the relief rolls by placing them where they can be self-supporting. | Where they are they can’t do that.” Al Jennings and Henry and Belle Starr, early day bank robbers and out- lsws, and Matt Kimes, Charles| “Preity Boy" Floyd, Jim Clark, Bob | Brady and Wilbug Underhill, of a more recent era, are some of the more no- torious outlaws who shook off pur- suers and hid away safety for weeks and sometimes months in the isolated retreat The history of the hills marked by bloody battles officers and the fugitives. Converting the rugged area into a national park is the dream of Jack Nichols, Congress member, whose district includes the Cookson Hills. ‘The remote isolated hills are one of the beauty spots of the Ozark foothills. The Government intends to sow the gully-scarred fields in grass | to halt erosion. Nichols' park plans are in the formative stage. | n Government the poverty- has been between Drivers Given Code.

Fingerprints Lpft On Cloth Revealed By New Technique| Process Is Qutgrowth of Lindbergh Case Research. B> tha Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 17.—A new fech- | nigue capable of developing finger- prints left on cloth—much as a snap- | #hot. negative is developed—has heen | added to the New York Police Depart- | ment's bag of tricks. | The method, an indirect product of | the Hauptmann case, incluces the im- | portant agcomplishment of preserv- ing the original prints after they are found.

William J. McMahon and De- tectives Maurice Harnett and Francis D. Murphy, It involves the use of silver nitrate solutions on bleached linen and other light shaded cloths | and calcium sulphide on darker fab- | rics. The treatment brings chemical transformation of body salts in the wax of which fingerprints are made, causing the tiny lincs to become ap- parent to the eye. The prints may be several years old.
