Call nquiry oegun in Identity of Pompey iggers May be Established Soon Robbi ng raves "That Good Cod Identity of persons uncovering and robbing graves in the ancient Indian burial ground on the Howard Brooks farm in Indian Hill town of Pompey, during the last several months may be this week, following investigation launched by the owner. Begun in Spring The systematic excavating apparently has been i since last spring, but extent of the operations were not discovered by Brooks until recently. According 1o Brooks, the diggers are known to have worked two or three nights in the week of Nov.

1 and to have been in the ancient cemetery one or two nights early last week. The grave robbing is thought by Brooks to be the work of one or possibly two archcologists, rather than that of persons selling Indian relics for profit. The extent of the grave robbing and systematic manner in which it has been carried out over a period of months has given rise to the belief that the graves may have produced articles and information of considerable value in establishing facts regarding the early history of Onondaga county, before and after the arrival of the first while settlers. LOCATION LONG KNOWN The location of the cemetery has been known to Brooks and to residents of that section of the county for a long time, but until digging began there last spring by the unknown excavators, very few of the graves had been ditsurbcd. Uncertain as to whether his land had been robbed of things of monetary, as well as historical value, Brooks consulted Charles Maxwell, attorney and resident of the town, as to rights under the law nntl retained him to a an investigation of tho operations.

Interested as a native of the town, Maxwell disclosed that his investigations have taken him i the musty pages of early law that still stand on the statute books and i may mean that any and VIE FOR TITLE OF MOST BEAUTIFUL FARMER'S DAUGHTER--Eight finalists lor the title of Ihe most beautiful farmer's daughter in Central New York will appear on the stage of the Paramount theater tomorrow evening for audience judging.

Four Per Cent In nondaga Plants Employment in Onondaga county Farmers' Daughters to Vie For Title Tomorrow Night Rise in Liberalism Seen by Speakers At ADA Luncheon Predictions of a surge of liberalism in upstate New York were made yesterday by guest speakers at the luncheon meeting of the Syracuse chapter of Americans for Democratic Action at the Onondaga.

August Heckscher, former editor of the Auburn Citizen-Advertiser and editorial writer of the New York Herald Tribune, made the forecast concerning the innovation of what he termed "liberal thinking" in the areas of the state outside New York city. Michael Straight, editor of the New Republic magazine, took several potshots at the Dixiecrats, Washington lobbyists and others whom he termed "roadblocks to reform" during his talk. 200 AT MEETING The meeting, attending by more than 200, was the first political gathering since the pre-election period and brought out an assortment of politics, including leaders of tho Democratic party and several labor leaders. Heckscher added to i predictions by urging the ADA to "organize and fight" in the. strong Republican sectors of the state, making special reference to Auburn and the congressional district of which John Taber is representative.

Referring to the past election, he said, "never again will men and women suppose that any result is inevitable; that any battle is in vain; that any cause is lost until the last vote has been counted. There is a mystery in the heart of democracy, the essential mystery and the everlasting adventure of a free people making up its own mind." AMPLIFIES ATTACK Delegates from more than 15 counties heard Straight amplify his attacks on the "roadblocks to re- Ashes of Ransier, Last Civil War Vet, Arrive in Maniius The ashes of Julian Ransier, Onondaga county's last Civil war veteran, and those of his wife, Mrs. I Cora Ransier, arrived in Maniius yesterday. The ashes were consigned to Mrs. Clara Reals, widow I of Ollie who was entrusted with placing in the Maniius village cemetery the 600-pound limestone monument fashioned by Ransier's father as a wash basin many years ago.

The veteran died Nov. 8 in Hot Springs, Ark. and his wife died three days VThe ashes have been privately interred by Elmer Mills, superintendent of the Maniius village cemetery, in the shadow of the great block of stone and service will be conducted at the grave at 2.30 p. m. today.

MEMORIAL SERVICE Harry C. Durston, county historian, who is in. charge of arrangements by direction of George L. Traister, chairman ol the county board of supervisors, and Paul Steinberg, president of the Syracuse and Onondaga County Memorial association, emphasized last night that this will be a memorial graveside service and not a burial service, attho the funeral ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic will be introduced for sentiment's sake. The ritual 'will be read for the last time in Onondaga county by Ernest R.

TO LEARN IDENTITY Maxwell revealed that his first step will be to establish the identity of the grave robbers and that he expects to clear, up that detail this week. Brooks said that last spring a man came to his farm and introduced himself as an archeologist asking permission to inspect the cemetery. Brooks said that he saw no objection to such an inspection, but that lie did not know that it was to include extensive: excavating and grave robbing operations.

Discovery of the extent nf the robbing has given students of Onondaga county history a question to conjure with, whether, in addition to Indian bones and articles, the diggers may not have been searching for the bones of an early French Jesuit missionary who is known to have diod in this locality. There has always bocn question, it is said, whether his Learn Drive to Saiely remains ever returned France. There, is a bare possibility, historians soy, that the archenlogists or whoever has been doing the digging, mny not be familiar with this piece of early Onondaga county history mid unearthed the remains of the missionary plants as of Nov. 1, 1948, WHS down approximately 4 per cent, compared i a year ago. to given out at of thr a facturers Association of Syracuse yesterday, A survey covering approximately 400 plants in the county resulted in an estimate of 54,846 men and women currently employed in these establishments, Forrest E.

On April 1, 1948, the association estimated that 57,144 persons at work in the industries embraced in its monthly survey.
