peaceful life. >■''• 11

airplane and three patrol.- cars.
They were in constant radip com
munication over a 30 to SO mile

cated on a plotting board to the
prowling cars below. The cars
were even equipped with walkie
talkie radio units for intensive
woods search in a five-mile ra
dius. The patrol on Friday ex
tended from Jones County north
