MANEUVERS SET IN3D GORPS AREA 6,000 to Join in Biggest Con- centration Since War at Fort Meade. By 1he Assoctated Press. BALTIMORE, September 18 —Third Corps Area Headquarters announced yesterday approximately 6,000 mobile troops of the Regular Army would engage in maneuvers at Ford George G. Meade from September 20 to October 3. “This promises to be the largest eoncentration of Regular mobile troops in the 3d Corps Area since the World War,” the announcement said. Headquarters said all the mobile troops stationed in Maryland, Penn- sylvania and Virginia would participate in the maneuvers, including Infantry, Cavalry, Field Artillery, Tanks, Air Corps and Engineers, as well as medical and supply detachments. “The recent increase in the en- listed strength of the Army enables regiments to turn out at authorized peace strength for the first time in | several years,” the announcement said. . “The mareuvers consequently should be more realistic than those held in recent years with skeletonized units. “The first week of maneuvers will eonsist of practice marches conducted independently by each regiment, fol- lowed by a week of inter-regimental eand brigade tactical exercises and culminating in combined maneuvers at Fort Meade during the week be- glnning September 27.” YOUTH SHOT IN LEG B¥ a Staff Correspondent ot The Star. FENWICK, Md., September 17.— George King, jr., 18-year-old Eastern High School student of Washington, was wounded in the leg here yesterday | when a shotgun was accidentally dis- | charged at the close of a frog-hunting expedition. The victim, whose limb was peppered with lead pellets ricocheting from tne wall of a cottage owned by Charles D. Rankin, was not seriously injured. After receiving first-aid treatment at Providence Hospital in Washington, he returned to his home at 135¢ Maple View place southeast. ‘Young King was wounded when on2 of his companions moved the gun while packing for the trip to Washington. By the Associated Press. ‘The Coast and Geodetic Survey has rejected a theory that some one is digging a tunnel under the Pacific. “Some time ago,” said Capt. G. T. Rude, chief of the Hydrography and Topography Division, “our scientists encountered some strange undersea noises while conducting electrical soundings off the California coast.” ‘The commotion—a sort of click- click-thud-thud—occurred at regular intervals every day. When the sound- ers informed the public of the mys- terious noises, a flood of unsolicited solutions of the puzzle began to arrive at the Geodetic office here. “One of the longest and most earn- estly written,” sald the captain, “was from a lady in California who said she had reason to believe a bunch of Chinese were digmz thelr way over from the Orient.” The woman wrote that she married a world traveler—a man who had been everywhere and seen everything. He told her at the altar that his past life was behind him and asked her never to question him about it. “One day,” Capt. Rude continued, “this lady heard her husband talking in his sleep and he was discussing the digging Chinese. But remembering Broken Cashews % 705 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Mysterious U ndersea Noises Probably Not Tunnel Digging her vow, she never brought up the subject.” Hearing about the mysterious sub- sea sounds she dispatched a letter to ‘Washington suggesting that while her hands were tied at the altar the Gov- erament might be able to quiz her mate. “She said we had better hurry up, too,” said the captain, “because the atmospheric conditions under the ocean had bleached the diggers and when they reached the surface we wouldn't be able to tell them from the rest of the folks.” “Wiat did you do about her theory?” the captain was asked. “We told her,” he sald, “that we didn't think so. Incidentally, we have not solved the sounds.” ADVERTISEMENT. Do FALSE TEETH Rock, Slide or Slip?
