" Holdup in Chicago MORE KILLINGS SEEN Gangster Was Reported To Have Appointment With Officers CHICAGO.—(AP)—The body of Gus Winkler, dapper heir to part of the affluence of the old Capone gang, lay in a morgue Tuesday— mute evidence of the gangland rule that dead men tell no tales. In gangland they call talking to authorities the ‘“squeal”’ and it was the theory of investigators that his enemies pumped four volleys of shotgun pellets into his body Mon day to keep him from telling what he knew about the $250,000 mail rdbbery in Chicago last December. Winkler was the second person linked with the robbery in one way or another, to die. The other was Edgar B. Lebensherger, owner of a swanky club on Chicaga’s near north side. Lebensberger was found shot to death the other day shortly before it was revealed that he was under indictment in con nection with the robbery. Some in vestigators said he might have been murdered, despite a coroner’s verdict of suicide. And while Winkler's body lay in a. mortuary there were newspaper reports that his slayers have mark ed for death, one or possibly two other men to silence them in the federal government’s investigation of the robbery. One newspaper said this had been learned on what it described as an “uinmpeachable authority.” Intended to Talk The report that Winkler, who had been in hiding since last Sat urday, had intended to tal'k Tues day with federal investigators came from his blond widow, who recently was arrested with Wink ler in their fashionable North Shore apartment for quetsioning in connection wtih a more recent postal robbery, in which Policeman Miles Cunningham was slain as the robbers fled. Mrs. Winkler, who with her husband, later was released, told her story to Coroner Frank J. Walsh. That Winkler himself knew that the end of his short-lived power was near was evidenced but two weeks ago when he ‘was a pris oner at the Chicago detective bu reau. A cellmate asked him to will him his diamond decorated watch. “Sure,” said the smiling Wink ler. “Sure, I better put it in right away brother, because I don't‘ think I'll be here long.” Three killers, motoring down the street in a green truck made his prediction come true. But he didn’'t talk. The ‘“squeal” gang land presumably expected from him, died with him. His last words, after he had prayed were:l “This is the end of a gangster.” | - Atlanta to Invite . - . Prison Association . . For Investigation ATLANTA —(AP)— Should the American Frison association aec cept the suggestion to investigate the Georgia prison system, Atlan ta hopes the association will accept its hospitality during the inquiry. Colonel Frederick J. Paxton, chairman of the finance committee of the Atlanta convention and tourist bureau, Monday said a rep resentative of the bureau was en route to Atlantic City where the association is now in convention, to issue an invitation to hold their 1934 session here and makKe the in vestigation. The inquiry was suggested Sun day night by acting Governor Em erson L. Richards of New Jersey who sat with Governor Harry Moore last year in Georgia’s un successful fight to extradite Rob ert Elliott Burns, escaped Georgia conviet. In welcoming the convention, the acting governor said that charges against the Georgia prison system made during the hearing for Burns extradition warranted investiga tion. < Colonel Paxton said the state had felt the effect of “false propa ganda concerning Georgia prison conditions” and that the bureau had decided “that the best w.y to stop ‘the nonsense once and for all, would be to get the prison association, composed of wardens of all the larger prisons in America, and other leading penologists to hold its next meeting in Atlanta.” “The opinions of these men, who know what prisons are and have to be,” Colonel Paxton continued, “would do more than anything else to offset the propaganda of wilful slanderers and misguided senti mentalists.” e Athens, Ca., Tuesday, October 10, 1933 e £ 0 . |R : g i 3 R O ;M = 020000 s &8 o g 3B R :g # T T G R .

WRIGHT ! Associated Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON.—(AP)—Admin | istration agreement soon to a re opening “of existing NRA ecodes SO wages may be increased and hours of work shortened is looked for by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor. Green based his belief dn state ments’ made before the Federation convention by two persons high in administration councils — Senator Robert . Wagner, chairman of the labor advisory board, and Sec retary Frances Perkins of the La bor department. Last week, Secretary Perkins Isaid “we cannot stop” with the present minimum wages and maxi- Imum hours; Monday, Wagner said some of the minimum scales should ibe higher, that perhaps wages in higher brackets should :be fixed too, and that a 40-hour week would not re-absorb the unemployed. “Those statements,” Green said, “certainly are susceptible of being interpreted to mean that the ad iministration is ready to revise the codes. “One of the speakers was a cab inet member. The other was ap _gp_ipted to his present post by the | President, and as one of the au ithors of the recovery act probably Iknows as much about its purpose, and what the President wants to accomplish with it as anybody else.” | The Federation president, who {'often has contended that existing | wage and hour provisions are not | satisfactory, added thjs forecast: ! “The convention this week will insist upon a general revision of the codes to increase purchasing power further.” | A 6-hour day, 5-day week likely [will be asked, he added. I Convention delegaets, in the sec lond week of their meeting, saw gadditional need for reopening codes in figures presented to them lby Wagner. He said that produc ttion, after jumping 65 percent ]frim April to August, lost a third of that gain in September. | “During the past 60 days we have had to adjust production.” ! Both Wagner and Secretary Per [kins. have worked vigorously for {labor in the last few months. But |Federation officials said they would have been unlikely to come so near committing themselvs to revision without “some indication from higher up.” | . They were hopeful that when Hugh 8. Johnson addressed the Ic‘onvention Tuesday night the iNRA administrator would discuss | the same point. | { EDUCATION PROGRAM WASHINGTON. — (AP) — To prevent what it termed the threat ened “passing of the public free schools” as a result of budget bal lancing, the American Federation of Labor convention Tuesday adopted a 12-point educational Eprogram calling for “the utmost endeavor for the protection ot! education from kindergarten ’ lthrough university.” ' The program called for “truly! professional standards” in the ‘class room, smaller classes taught‘ by trained teachers, a broader cur iricu]um. an equitable wage for all instructors with security of ] tenure and ‘“decent” working con-i ditions, the establishment of | teacher unions, maintenance of educationals standards, old age pensions and opportunity for ‘teachers to help formulate educa tional policy. l INTERIOR VIEW OF HAVANA'’S w e ettt ettt e, ey s\ e e 4 e e e e s L % 2 e N R e e g Ry }' R o meoand R T R S SEEE R T e e T oo ﬁ”%ﬁ‘ % awo TR ko SR O e R 5 N st ‘}w“*g} SR Rl e e ecg . e R R G %3 S P R R S O R B OS K S s N R o R R 8 s L .

McKNIGHT ' HAVANA —( AP) — The hook of governmental overthrow which has snatched more than one of his predecessorg off Cuba's stormy po ’litical stage was extended Tuesday for President Ramon Grau San Martin. As it was held out on a wave iot shifting public opinion, the ve ‘;teran nationalist leader Carlos‘ Mendieta, listening froin the winge, | ‘heard a rising clamor for_ his re-} appearance. ‘ The Grau Regime, fighting des-' perately to stave off 'retirement, held out compromise after com-i promise in the hope of quieting ‘the shouts of the opposition. ‘ | Ene militarized unlversityl ;youngsters backing Grau again ratified their support of his gov ernment, but support in other lquarters appeared rapidly crump ling to ward collapse. May Quit Grau Even General Fugencio Batista, who directed the attack on rebell jous officers barricaded in the Na ‘tional Hotel, reliably was report ‘ed prepared to withdraw his sup port for Mendieta. And leaders in business, indus try and agriculture, it was pointed out, frequently have expressed con fidence in the veteran. Powerful economic pressure and the need of recdgnition by the Uni ted States figured most pcotently, observers said, in the moves fore ing Grau toward a compromise with the opposition. Backers of Mendieta, in urglng[ that he be persuaded to re-enter the political picture, contended that his would be a powerful voice in negotiationg looking to U. S. recognition. Mendieta heid the confidence: of Summer Welles; the American ambassador, they argued further, as well as of local leaders on both sides of the broken political scene, i - Young Daughter of . - Thomaston Minister Is Fatally Injured . e THOMASTON, Ga— (AP) — Kathryn Dodd, 11-year-old daugh ter of the Rev.

Virginia (By The Associated Press) Return to work of several thous and steel company employes in West Virginia and Ohio, and ';xtrikes in the cotton and lettuce fieilds of California, marked the 'industriul scene Tuesday. - Escorted by 50 state policemen, ,lthe first day shift of Weirton, W. ['Va., steel company employes went back to their jobs after a week's strike. Following decision of wunion leaders to racall pickets, workers iin the company's Steubenville, Ohiio, unit began to trek back to work. Approximately 10,000 workers in California’s lettuce and cotton growing regions were reported on strike, demanding substantial in crease in pay. State labor commis sioner Frank C. MacDonald de scribed the situation as “danger ous” and said cotton growers had rejected all mediation offers. Interest of the strike-plagued lcoal fields of western Pennsyl vaniia was focussed on a confer lence in New York between Thomas IMoses, president of the H. C. ‘Frick Coke company, and Philip Murray, vice president of the Uni ted Mine Workers. Up for discussion were the questions of union recognition, ’the union “check-off” system and the stasus of union check-weigh ‘men—problems which precipitated the strike. |About half the area’s 75,000 strking miners have returned to work, the others are awaiting out come of the conference. In Indiana, national guardsmen patrolled Sullivan county roads, aler't for possible renewal of dis orders accompanying picketing of cooperative bituminous collieries. ‘ United mine workers have charged that the cooperative plan violates the wage agreement be twéden the union and overators.
