The trpa Hre has been drawing men to the area since the days of the Civil War. No pne has struck it rich yet. The treasure, as the story goes, was found by Thomas Beale, a Virginian, and a company of men in Sante Fe. In the summer of 1819 the gold had to be transferred because the locale was considered too dangerous. They decided to ship it east.

Thus, the decision was made that the treasure be sent to Virginia and securely hidden in a cave near Buford's Tavern, which all the men had visited in Bed- rd County. a a i companions stayed in the area for a month his life He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ellen Wilkinson Wall; one daughter, Miss Melanie Ellen Wall; two sons: Charles Wall III and Baity W.

"We soon selected a place," Beale wrote, "and to this the treasure was safely transferred."

A cipher expert, he believes he has broken most of the code. The two said his findings of markers so far has checked out. Only a few details need to be worked out. Green's metal detector makes it possible to discover metal up to a depth of eight feet, more than enough to find the treasure. O'Blenes said it was hjs first treasure hunt.

"I had to get my wife sold on the idea but she went along. The stakes make the venture interesting and very little has been invested." Some people claim the treasure is a myth while others are sure it exists. But whether fact or fiction, the story holds an allure not to be found in the unexplored areas of space. 9 Contracts Let For Interstate 95 Gap RICHMOND (AP) The final gap in the segment of dual lane highway linking Richmond and Washington been closed--at least on paper.

Hemlock Haven Closed Rain Is Ally In Thailand WASHINGTON 1 'AP)--The rain, will be an ally of American diers and Marines defending Thailand's Mekong River border from Communist penetration. From now until mid-September, the almost daily rains will swell the already unfordable Mekong which forms most of Thailand's boundary with Laos. The Mekong, some 1,000 to 5,000 feet wide, is considered the last major physical barrier standing in the path of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao who dominate the heavily wooded ridges running much of the length of Laos.

These ridges overlook plains extending to the Mekong. The rainy season, now starting in Thailand, will hinder the American expedition in some ways. It is expected to hamper somewhat the operation of U.S. fighter )ombers and other aircraft supporting the American infantry- Tien and Marines ranged along frontier. Also, the rains would cut'down ank operations in the northeast plateau where the American 'orces are to be deployed.

Indications are that the American Marines and infantrymen probably will try to guard a roughly 500-mile arc. The best defense line in this area is along the Mekong. To hold such a line, U.S. troops would have to enter Laos. In this mountainous country, the Lao-Thai border is not clearly fined, although it generally follows the ridge line.

Lay-Clergy Differences Over Integrated Camps Unsettled ROANOKE A The lay- clergy fight over integration remains at an impasse in the council of the Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia. The 43rd annual council meeting ended yesterday after clergymen delegates refused to back down on their stand against holding only segregated youth conferences at Hemlock Haven and lay delegates failed in a motion to sell the church-owned camp. Left up in the air was the diocesean budget for 1963. A proposed budget was twice defeated Tuesday and did not come up again yesterday.

When Francis T. We of Martinsville, leader of the lay faction opposed to integrated youth ings, made a motion to there was no opposition. Bishop William H. Marrnion told reporters afterwards he probably will call a special meeting of the council sometime before the 1962 budget runs out at the end of the year. In the meantime, a compromise motion adopted last year remains in effect.

The compromise closed Hemlock Haven to all youth conferences, i Lay delegates voting separately! again, reapproved the compro- mise motion. 56 7. Council mo- tions normally are decided by a majority of all delegates, unless! a motion is adopted to vote by orders. The compromise i followed one by William Mays of Clifford, a lay delegate. His motion said "It shall be the continuing policy of the diocese to conduct no racially integrated resident conferences of youths below the age of 21 at Hemlock Haven or elsewhere." Lay delegates supported the motion 46-21, but it was defeated by the clergy 37-4.

Speaking in favor of the Mays motion against racially integrated resident conferences, Gen. E. Walton Opie of Staunton, said opposition to integrating youth ferences is not based on racial antagonism, but on the belief that doing so would lead to increased incidence of interracial marriage. He also said tha.1 God speaks (o laymen as well as clergy, and warned that the diocese was moving toward dictation by the clergy. Opie also linked the Hemlock Haven controversy to defeat of the budget saying that by forcing the council to go away without a budget, the laity hoped for compromise that could end the controversy.

The motion by West to sell Hemlock Haven was defeated by the clergy by a 39-2 vote. The lay delegates approved it 42-25. West referred to the Hemlock Haven problem as "a malignancy that is sapping the strength of the Djocese. The camp, purchased in 1957, has had an integrated youth conference.
