Their activities and claims have
brought a storm of skepticism and
criticism from geologists and scien-
tists.
“They think we’re crazy.” Rog-
erts says. “But they won’t look
at us. We’ve been turning up water
all over the Unitet! States.”
Roberts agrees with geologists
and engineers that the extra sense
he claims for a good dowser is
wholly fantastic and unexplainable.
"We only disagree when (they)
contend that it cannot exist and
therefore should not be investigat-
ed and put to uso ”

In Bank Case
SAN FRKNCISCEt-The’FBI
announced Wednesday the arrest
of two men in connection with the
armed robbery of an Erick, Okla.,
bank July 29. A third was sought.
William Whalen, FBI agent here,
said James Darrell Holland, 25,
was arrested by sheriff’s deputies
and FBI agents last night at
Modesto, Calif., and James Earl
Spangler, 23, was picked up later
by Los Gatos, Ca'.if.. police.
Whalen said Holland admitted
taking part in the holdup and im-
plicated Spangler and Bobby Joe
Rine, 24, who was being sought.
The trio was named in federal war-
rants issued at Clinton, Okla.,
Monday.
Whalen said about $22,000 was
taken in the armed robbery of the
Farmers National Bank He quoted
Holland as saying the three men
had split up in Long Beach, Calif.,
after gambling in Les Vegas, Nev.
Holland had $1,44 in cash with
him when arrested and also car-
ried newspaper clippings Recount-
ing the robbery.
Holland was arrested in a shed
at the home of Travis Melton of
Modesto. Agents said he carried
a loaded .375 Magnum revolver
and a .38 caliber revolver. An
Army carbine was found in a near-
by woodpile. Holland was jailed
at Modesto. Whalen said Melton
and his wife, Dorothy, were held
for questioning.
Los Gatos police arrested Span-
gler in a 1950 convertible at a fill-
ing station. A .38 caliber revolver
was found in the glove compart-
ment He was being questioned by
FBI agents at Los Gatos jail.
Spangler had $5,118 op him, FBI
said.
Holland is a native of Erick,
while Spangler is a native of Tulsa
and Rine is a native of Royston,
Tex.
Three bandits, one armed with
a machine gun, entered the Erick
bank last Thursday afternoon and
cleaned out tellers’ cages and the
vault.
Employes and curtomers were
made to lie on the flour while the
bandits sacked up loot. No one was
hurt.
The getaway car was recovered
yesterday in a brush pile in the
river bottom land near Canadian,
Tex.

WASHINGTON (M-A flood con-
trol plan for the Reo River basin
in Texas, Oklahoma Arkansas and
Louisiana has been sent to Con-
gress by the Army secretary.
It includes three Texas projects.
Army Enginters recommended
the program. But a Budget Bureau
letter accompanying the report
said its authorization at this time
would not be in acerdance with
President Eisenhower’s wishes.
Projects include:
Texas—Cooper Dem and Reser-
voir on the South Sulphur River,
at a cost of $9,056,0%0 t the federal
government (local interest costs
for rights of way, and other such
items, not estimated); levees and
other flood protection works on
CteW, federal cost 12,534,000 (local
interest costs not estimated); Mc-
Kinney Bayou, flood control works,
federal cost $76,009 non-federal
$306,350.
Oklahoma—Levees near Pauls
Valley, federal cost $1,780,000, non-
federal $518,000; Drown Creek,
levees, federal costs $957,700, non-
federal $358,000.
Arkansas—Walnut Bayou, flood
control improvements, federal cost
$407,500, non federal $116,000; Ma-
niece Bayou, federal cost $103,000,
non-federal $55 000' Postein Bayou,

stances may seem to show that
it isn’t.”
Water-seeking at a Torrington
Conn., school site, he said, would
have been “a monumental fail-
ure if we hadn’t insisted that the
well be surged—o- washed out
under pressure.” This cleaned (
crevices of cement-like drilled rock j
dust, and the well was a success.
Any kind’ of small, forked,
branch will do for a dowsing rod,
says the gray-haired, strong-hand-
ed Gross. He also says he can
use a forked piere of wire or
blade of grass.
As Gross bends over a map or
chart or stands on his searching
ground, Roberts asks the ques-
tions, which Henry repeats, as if
THE DENTON RECORD.CHRONICLE
WASHINGTON (A - A father,
mother and daughter who survived
gunfire and an exploding mine in
fleeing Communiat Hungary will
gr to Texas to live. And they have
a warm welcome to thia country
frm President Eisenhower.
Geza Kapus, his wife Gisella and
7-year-old Eva are the first es-
epees to come to the United
States under the Refugee Relief
Act of 1953.
The President greeted them per-
sonally this week. He said:
"My one regret is that there
still exists today in some parts of
the world conditions which make ;
it necessary for people to flee their |
h-mes and country.
"So long as there must be es-
apees, America will do its share
to see that They get the help they
need toward a new life in a freq
ccuntry.”

A dowsing rod in the hands of
a competent dowser, only Works
on flowing underground water, he
says. This excludes motionless de-
posits, such as are punctured by
artesian wells. It means under-
ground rivers, sheets, veins and
domes.
The rod, Roberts claims, points
not only to water veins and domes
over which the dowser is stand-
ing, “but to water sources at great
distances from the dowser.
Gross, who travels 50,000 miles
a year, doesn’t like to search for
water by remote control—from
maps and charts, but it was on
a map that Gross located three
wells in Bermuda, where thirsty
folk, including U.S. Air Force
men.drank stored rsgor,impqrt-
eJ^ater “The fetest-sucess re-
ported was finding water from a
scale map for a scientist—G. Pres-
ton Hoff of Wilmington, Del., an
E. I. du Pont de Nemours chem-
ist.
It’s pretty difficult, Roberts
says, to estimate the percentage
.of failures.
“Probably 8 per cent of wells,
sunk, dug or drilled on our say
so have not produced water in the
desired amount. We found that
when Henry’s rod pcints to flow-
ing underground wate, the water
is always there; but the circum-

"Now, Henry.” Roberts asks,
"in what direction is the nearest
vein ” Henry turns until the rod
plunges. Roberts asks about
domes, wideth, flow—more than a
score of questions As the rod
dips, Henry answers.
“For hundreds of years, Roberts
says, "minor scientists have at-
tacked water dowsers, heaping
curses on their heads and accus-
ing them of eveiy imaginable form
of demonology and witchcraft.
