MILLS STOBI, Yugoslavia, Aug. 31. tP) A second Pompeii has been discovered in this remote part of the Balkans.

It is regarded by government archaeologists as one of the most important antiquarian finds ever made in Europe. Dr. Vlada Petko-vich. director of the 'National Museum at Belgrade, ranks the newly-unearthed metropolis with Babylon, Pompeii, Luxor, Thebes and Kar-nak. The disinterred city Is called Stobi, which was also its ancient name.

It Was founded 2400 years ago by the Greeks and was later the capital for centuries of the important Roman province of Macedonia. In 518 A. according to the archaeologists, it was destroyed bv an earthquake which also wiped out 12 other populous and flourishing cities in Macedonia. WHERE KINGS RODE Long narrow groves may still be seen in the stone streets of Stobi where Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great once rode in chariots. Along the sides of the streets are finely-preserved patrician homes, as in Pompeii.

LoVely courtyards with marble swimming pools and fountains also may be seen. The city waj: a great center of lnarninif art on1 ffiltiit-A Huvinff tlio Monday-Labor SHOP NOW!

Investigation Chief Demands Curb on Crooks In Plea Before Lawyers MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31.

J. Edgar Hoover today had demanded prompt prosecution and severe punishment of felons in the Nation's anti-crime campaign. The chief of the Division of Investigation of the Department of Justice told the American Bar Association Convention that the gangster's reign constituted one of the country's greatest problems. But great progress in the criminal's elimination can be made, he said, if the American citizen will dedicate himself to a demand that capture be certain, prosecution prompt and punishment severe. He brought up the case of John Dillinger, who was slain by Federal agents in Chicago last month.

"Whether our prisons should be places of punishment for crime or abodes in which entertainment is furnished is. I admit, not my affair," hjp said, "but I do maintain they should be institutions from which major criminals can not escape, and that any conditions which render escape possible should be eliminated immediately." DILLINGER CITED Hoover mentioned Dillinger's flight from jail and remarked that the outlaw's subsequent activities resulted in the death of one of the division's most capable men. Of pardons, he said, "It can not be possible that the vast numbers of desperate criminals turned loose upon society by the manifest abuse of the pardon and parole power can be in any manner justified, even if we concede that a humanitarian sense of mercy or consideration may have prompted some of these seemingly unwarranted releases." "I believe that possibly the best solution of this problem is vide-spread publicity. Anything bearing upon the matter of a pardon or parole shrtuld be widely publicized, particularly the identity of those representing the criminals seeking the extension of clemency." GLORIFICATION HIT The press, radio and movies, which he described as "great moulders of public opinion," also have a place in efforts to suppress crime, he said. He applauded the acts of cooperation, but termed glorification of desperadoes "inexplicable." "The average law enforcement officer is a loyal public servant," he continued.

"Remove him from the blighting influence of politics, pay him a decent wage, support him with proper kind of public spirit and you will have no need for theories or projects with which to defeat crime's reign of lawlessness." Mexican Congress To Act on Education MEXICO, D. Aug. 31. (ZD A proposed reform to article 3 of the national constitution designed to make "socialistic education" compulsory in all schools and universities is the important piece of legislation facing the new Congress which meets for a three months' session tomorrow. Intended to do away with "Laic" education and to end all control of youth by the Catholic Church, the reform is regarde das one of the most far-reaching actions ever attempted by the revolutionary government.

The boys and girls who bring back the outstanding bags from their expeditions into, Alaska's "hunter's paradise" this season will be able to collect practically anything from a hand-painted picture to a shave and a haircut in the way of prizes, but it appeared today it's going to be rather tough on the animals. August 20 saw the opening of the season on deer, caribou and sheep, and the hunter who failed to bring down his game on the first had 87 more in which to get three male deer, and 133 more to down a caribou, mountain sheep or mountain goat. Tomorrow will bring the start of the open season on moose bulls, brown and grizzly bear and game birds.

51 PRIZES ARE VP Fifty-one prizes were up for hunters bringing in specific bags.

There wefe prizes for the largest, second, third, fourth and fifth largest deer, tha first Seven-pointer, the first spike buck, the first eagle, the finest of horns, the first brown bear, mountain goat, albino deer, wolf, ducks, geese and practically everything else in the book. In addition, there were prizes offered for killing the most ravens and telling the most hair-raising tale of encounters with timber wolves. No stipulation was made as to the truthfulness of the latter.

AMONG THE PRIZES The prizes included shoes. Ice creepers, heel plates, a shampoo, haircut and shave, hunting coats and vests, sleeping bags, knives, mocassins, rifles, a box of silk stockings, a case of beer, listed as ice cold, a quart of fine cognac, several other cases of beer with no mention of temperature, a pair of.

Cook, Feared Dead In Big Fire, Alive SACRAMENTO, Aug. 31. -W. K. (Dutch) Lange, cook in the French Meadows Valley camp of the United Stales forest service, turned up here last night much alive and well to' silence fears that he lost his life in the Quincy fire last Tuesday.

Lange was reported' missing because he could not be found. He notified the sheriff's offire last night he had missed seeing the fire. Napa County Tax Rate Set at $1.82 NAPA. Aug.

3 1. -Nana tax rate was set at Sl.fi-by the Hoard of Supervisors here today. Wil)nn the incorporated areas of Napa, St. Helena and the county library and road levies do not apply, the rate will be $1.48. The new rates represent an Increase of 14 cents over last year.

In the center is a great stone amphitheater which seated 10,000 people. Here wild animal contests, gladiatorial combats and Olympic games were staged four centuries before Christ. Archaeologists and excavators attached to the National Museum of Belgrade, who made the discovery, Intend to make Stobi an international place of pilgrimage. Within 25 or 50 years, they declare, Stobi will be as famous as the renowned Valley of the Kings in Egypt. GOVERNOR'S VILLA STANDS For a thousand years or more not a living soul moved within the streets of this "Forgotten City." But today hundreds of swarthy Yugo-' slnv and Albanian peasants are seen digging from dawn until sundown among the ruins.

The dark narrow streets are now seeing the sunlight for the first time since Stobi was engulfed. Superb mosaics of vivid b'uc, red, green and orange have come to life again under the brilliant, sun. The luxurious marble villa of the Roman governor still stands. Nearby is a Jewish synagogue built 300 years after Christ was crucified. In the cellar one may look into a quaintly-made cistern of that lost age where seven gold pieces were cast by a panic-stricken, Hebrew fleeing from the havoc of the earthquake.

There is also a perfectly-preserved canalization system, illustrating the engineering skill of the ancient Greeks and Romans. SI RI ACE BARELY SCRATCHED' Dr. Petkovich declares that despite the remarkable results already achieved, the archaeologists had barely "scratched the surface" of the Lost City, which covers about 350,000 square feet. "At our present rate of progress." he snid, "it may take another 100 or 200 years to excavate the site fully and to preserve all the wonderful art treasures and other finds." Serbian archaeologists hope they may yet discover a clue to the tomb of Alexander the Great. Howard Carter, famous British archaeologist and Egyptologist, believes Alexander is buried somewhere in the city of Alexandria, Egypt, but this is not accepted by all archaeologists and historians.

So Stobi, the Serbian delvers hope, may yet yield up the tomb of the great Macedonia king and conqueror. 5. F. Postpones Garbage Action SAN FRANCISCO. Aug.
