He said he was captured on Pearl Harbor Day and he thinks his captors "probably threw the bones away." They may still be in the area of hat was Camp Holcomb, near the coastal city of Chinwangtao in Hopch Province, said Herman Davis. Davis, 55, is a former Marine Corps pharmacist mate.

Davis said his commanding officer and current boss, Dr. William T. Foley, had been entrusted by the Chinese with taking the remains of the Peking Man a generic term for the collection of 40 skulls, 150 teeth and numerous bones that date man back 450,000 to 2 million years to the United States for safekeeping during the war. Davis contacted a Chicago investment banker, Christopher G. Janus, who has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the Peking Man.

Janus returned recently from Communist China, where he was told how "terribly important the Peking Man is to the Chinese at this time." Janus hopes to find the Peking Man and then establish a private student exchange program with the Chinese government. American ancestors. They wouldn't mean anything to them," said Davis, who now lives in Colonia, N.J., with his wife and three children. Two other persons who have contacted Janus say they have part of the bone collection. One woman called and told Janus "If there really is a reward, I'll be glad to meet with you." She set the date for the Empire State Building.

During the rendezvous, the banker reported, she told him the last thing her late husband told her was "to be careful how I disposed of it, but don't sell it for less than half a million dollars, because of the number of people interested." Janus said she showed him a photograph of a foot locker with oriental characters which, he said, matched Davis' description of what he left behind in Chin-wang-tao. The other "B-movie-type" affair involved a Chinese man who said he knew a man who had one of the foot lockers and secretly met Janus in the Harvard Club. "Have you the money to pay for the box?" was the one question the man repeatedly asked, Janus related. He said the man had given his name, but pledged Janus to confidentiality. The woman had not, he said, but both promised to recontact him.

THIEVES LOOSE IN THE JAIL BALTIMORE (AP) The city jail is losing money "because we have all these thieves working for us," says Warden Hiram L. schoontield. "Fifty or sixty inmates who work for us steal faster than you can imagine," Schoonfield told the City Council, saying the use of inmate labor is false economy. "The other day I had a shakedown in one section and I found more than 40 pounds of Young Richard Nixon Richard Nixon, a nine-year-old from Albany, N.Y., sits in the President's chair in the White House Cabinet Room.

(AP) Others who have contacted Janus since he announced his reward offer a week ago disagree with Davis, some saying they have parts of the Peking Man and revealing their claims in devious, cloak-and-dagger meetings at such spots as the Empire State Building observation deck and in dark corners in the plush Harvard Club. The assortment of bones, unearthed in China between 1927 and 1929, has not been seen publicly since Davis' capture. Davis suggested a search of the area around Camp Holcomb. "The Japanese were hungry for any kind of souvenir Mickey Mouse watch or whatever.

The office said the Times failed, as required by law, to obtain a written statement from those who placed the ad that it was not authorized by any candidate for federal office. The Times said such a disclaimer was not published with the ad because "the Times' employe in charge of compliance did not believe it involved the President's candidacy or the campaign The newspaper's senior vice president for law and finance, James C. Goodale, said in a letter to Phillip S. Hughes, director of the elections office, that "the advertisement did state in bold type that it had been submitted by 'The National Committee for Impeachment' and identified the officers of that committee." iretaps cut, committee told WASHINGTON (AP) Six stallations have been shut down government eavesdropping in- because of a Supreme Court decision last week, a Justice YF trill conduct bake sale iotlay MARYLAND LINE The Youth Fellowhiip of Maryland Line United Methodist Church will hold a bake sale today at 3 p.m.

This lett 27 telephone wiretaps or microphone installations in operation for national security intelligence gathering, said Kevin Maroney, deputy assistant attorney general for internal security. The Supreme Court held in a unanimous ruling June 19 that electronic surveillance of the type involving wholly domestic organizations could not be carried on by the government without prior judicial approval.

The court left open the question of whether, without a court warrant, wiretapping and bugging of foreign agents are permissible to protect the national security. Maroney told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee that Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst personally reviewed, in the light of the Supreme Court decision, all the electronic surveillance devices then in place and ordered the removal of six.

In reply to a question by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the subcommittee chairman, Maroney said each device is counted as one installation so that the number of individuals or organizations being bugged for purely domestic security purposes was six or less. He did not identify the individuals or organizations and, in reply to another question, said he had no information on how long they had been in operation. Maroney said practically all of the 27 listening devices left in operation after the court's ruling involve foreign intelligence Chess champ wants more REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) -Bobby Fischer has made a last-minute demand for more money to play in the world chess championship against Russian Boris Spassky, informed sources said Thursday.

They reported that the 29-year-old American challenger has sent an ultimatum to the Iceland Chess Federation "two or three days ago," saying he would not show up unless he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts on top of the unprecedented sums already guaranteed. Under the agreement Fischer and Spassky signed with the federation, the players will share a purse of $125,000, with the winner getting five-eighths of it. In addition it was agreed that they would each get 30-per cent of receipts from sales of television and film rights for the match. Fischer scheduled flights to Reykjavik Tuesday and Wednesday. This had led to speculation that he was waging a war of nerves with titleholder Spassky.

The 24-game match is due to start on Sunday in a sports palace where seats are sold for $5 a game. Since receiving Fischer's new demand, Icelandic Chess Federation officials have been in almost constant touch with Fred Cramer, a former president of the American Chess Federation, acting as Fischer's advance man, the informants said. 4 if 3 if tttft jm" i.
