STATES—ROBBED JEW
ERLY STORE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 28
(TP).—Police of four Midwest states
have broadcast a general alarm for
four gunmen who shot down an In
dianapolis officer this morning.
The four men are believed to be
the same who robbed a jewelry store
In Lima .Ohio of $15,000 yesterday.
Four men asked an Indianapolis
physician today to treat one of them
for gunshot wounds. They said he
had been wounded in a family quar
rel.
The doctor's wife called police who
surrounded the house. The thugs
opened a barrage of gunfire and es
caped, heading twards Kentucky. Po
lice Sergeant Richard Rivers was
slain as the bandits shot their way
through the police trap.
Shortly afterward a car resembling
the gunmen’s auto was spotted near
Springfield, ID.
KING’S OFFER SAVES
BRITAIN BIG SUM
EDWARD TO USE PRIVATE
INCOME RATHER THAN
STATE FUNDS
LONDON, April 28 (TP)—The
British treasury will save nearly
SBOO,OOO a year—it was revealed
today—through the insistence of
King Edward that he continue to
use his private income instead of
drawing funds from the state. The
King’s income, when he was the
Prince of Wales, came from the
Duchy of Cornwall. The select com
mittee of the House of Commons
has recommended that King Ed
ward get $2,050,000 compared with
$2,850,000 that was parceled out
during King George’s reign. Since
King Edward prefers to use his
private income, however, about
$550,000 will remain undrawn, so
long as the Cornwall Duchy yields
its current revenue of $570,000.
The Commons committee set
aside $200,000 to be used In case
the King decides to get married.

ALCATRAZ PRISONERS
WHISPER: “ESCAPE?IT
CAN’T BE DONE”
SAN FRANCISCO. April 28 (TP).
The whisper “it can’t be done” runs
through the cell blocks of Alcatraz
prhon today.
“It can’t be done" refers to escape
and the death of convict Joe Bow
ers adds proof to the theory that no
one can escape from the federal peni
tentiary set up as the American
“Devil's Island.”
Bowers was shot by guards while
sliding down a 40-fcot cliff in a de§-
perate attempt to escape. Had he
negotiated the steep slide successful
ly, Bowers would have had to swim
more than a mile through treacher
ous currents. His escape attempt was
the first since the government took
over the barren island to house pris
on trouble-makers transferred from
other federal institutions.

Busy Day For Representative M arion Zioncheck of Washington.
It was a busy day for Congressman Marion
Zioncheck, Democrat of Washington, starting
from the time he told reporters he had no in
tentions of going to court to answer a charge
of speeding 70 miles an hour in the capital. A
warrant was issued for his arrest and Police
Sergeant Gjorge Helmuth was sent to serve if.
He did, but not until after a scuffle. The up
shot of the whole thing was that Zioncheck had
several more skirmishes with the police, ap-

INDUSTRYTAKES
ROOSEVELT’S TIP
TO AID JOBLESS
UNEMPLOYMENT ADOPTED
AS OWN PROBLEM AT
U. S. CHAMBER MEET
WASHINGTON, April 28. (TP).
Industry today answered President
Roosevelt’s challenge by adopting un
employment as its own problem. The
three speakers who addressed the
first general session of the Chamber
of Commerce’s 24th annual meeting
concentrated on the task of taking
men off th relief rolls. The speakers
were: Secretary of Commerce Roper,
President Harper Sibley of the cham
ber, and President Lewis Brown, of
the Johns Mansville Corporation.
Sibley and Brown gave the admin
istration a distinct surprise. Their
speeches were conciliatory toward the
New Deal: Roper’s speech, of course,
sought to define the administration’s
attitude toward industry in friendly
terms.
Denying that the chamber is the
“tool of big business.” Sibley asked
for non-partisan consideration of the
correlated national problems. He
listed them as follows: Unemploy
ment, relief, taxation, federal fiscal
policies, and social security.
Instead of attacking the New Deal
Sibley replied to President Roosevelt’s
request that industry re-employ men.
He asked chamber members to show
what they do with the problem.
Quoting from the 1924 chamber
resolutions, he declared: “Business
should render restrictive legislation
unnecessary by conducting itself as
to deserve and inspire public confi
dence.”
Brown took issue with New Deal
policies on relief, taxation, and gov
ernment interference with business.
His speech, however, was more con
ciliatory than critical.
At one point he declared: “Al
though much has been said about the
methods of the triple A. yet the fact
remains that price parity between
major economic groups is probably
more important contribution to what
recovery we have had so far, than
any other thing.”

Impromptu Race By Two
Radiocars Draws Chuckles
But Causes Drop In Ranks
Time was hanging heavily on the
hands of four radiocar officers last
week-end. Savannah seemed to be on
its better behavior and the number
of customary calls occasioned by Sat
urday night drunks was sadly de
pleted.
The two drivers fell to talking
about this and that and it was but
natural that their mutual interest I
and conversation fell to the discus 1
sion of motorcars. Naturally—be*'
cause they had just been assigned to
spanking new Plymouths, all ready
for fast driving and equipped with
super-radio outfits which kept them
in touch with the desk sergeant—or
at least, so the desk sergeant thought.
Finally, a remark of one occasion
ed the sporting spirit—if not the
challenging ire of the other. The re
mark concerned their relative abili
ties as fast drivers.

RESCUE SHIP TO PULL
STRANDED YACHT INTO
DEEPER WATER
HAVANA April 28 (TP)—A Cuban
coast guard cutter is waiting for high
water today before attempting to pull
a stranded American yacht into deeper
water.
The yacht, the “Jane The Second,”
piled up on a reef several miles off
the Cuban shore-line. An S. O. S.
sent two big vessels off their course
towards the stranded pleasure craft
Later, however, the owner of the
“Jane The Second,” John Lowery,
Jr., Adviecf the United Fruit Liner
“Limon” atC the S. S. “Musa” that
their assistance was not required as
the cutter was racing for the small
vessel.
The tug reached the yacht early
today and found the “Jane The Sec
ond” listing badly but in no immedi
ate danger of capsizing. Hawsers were
made fast to the pleasure craft and
with the high tide, an effort will be
made to haul the yacht off the reef.
RAPP GETS RAP
MISHAWAKA. Ind., April 28
(TP) —The bailiff rapped for order,
and John Rapp stood with wrapt
attention while Judge E. J. Bower
gave him a sls rap.
Policeman Ralph Howlant*
brought Rap into court. He said
Rapp rapped on his door for half
an hour the other morning at 1 o’-
clock. Judge Bowers thought the
sls fine would settle the case.
SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1936
There was one way to settle the
argument—proof of the pudding, so
to speak. They headed the shining
new cars out toward Bay street ex
tension.
“Get set—on your mark—go” figu
ratively they said to each other.
First one took the lead then the
other. Time, speed and remarks
thereto were properly clocked.
Forty—FIFTY—SIXTY SEVEN
TY! The speedometer steadily rose
under the pressure of each of the
coppers’ foot. And coppers, parenthe
tically, are known to have sturdy
feet.
Along the roadside, natives didn’t
quite understand the impromptu race.
Some gained the idea that the Inter
national Speedway classic which
made Indianapolis so famous ,had
suddenly been transferred to Savan
nah. Others, quite naturally, assum
ed that Mack Sennett of yesteryear
movie fame, had suddenly revived
his "Keystone Comedy Cop” series
and that a few of the boys were
“out on location.”
Word suddenly reached the desk
sergeant as to their “location.” He
dispatched a bevy of motorcycle cop
pers to the scene and after some
racing proclivities on the part of the
latter group, the race-minded radio
coppers were hauled Into the bar
racks. But not until after they had
run the whels off of one of the cars.
Just who won the race was a mat
ter quite beside the point when they
faced the indignation of their su
perior officers.
All of which explains why four
wiser and sadder officers are today
pounding pavements as streetmen,
rather than riding around comfort
ably in police radiocars.
LEGION PAMPHLET ON “AMERICANISM”
CALLED RADICAL STIRS NOISY ROW
NEW YORK. April 28 (TP)—
The noisy fight over the American
Legion booklet on “Americanism’’
was sizzling merrily today and
seemed about to pop up in Wash
ington—where it would get the
most attention.
At the same time. New York
County Commander Joseph Mc-
Cabe termed as “ridiculous” the
so-called delay in distribution to
New York city schools of the
pamphlet which was prepared by
a legion committee. Said he: “This
talk of suspending distribution is
ridiculous. The book has already
been generally circulated. It is
being rapidly mailed now to legion
commanders throughout the coun

The booklet is called “American

RELIEF SITUATION
IN NEW JERSEY IS
A TANGLED KNOT
REMNANT OF HUNGER
MARCHERS RETAIN
CAPITOL PLACES
TRENTON, N. J., April 28 (TP)—
Remnants of New Jersey's bitter
‘ Hunger Army” kept their places in
the Assembly chambers today. The
bulk of the jobless campers had gone
home with plans to form a farmer
labor party and fight for relief funds
that they failed to get last night
during a short, noisy meeting of the I
legislature.
The legislature is expected to
draught and pass over to the munici
palities a large share of the relief re
sponsibility.
Last night’s brief assembly session
failed to provide anything tangible
in the way of steps out of the relief
crisis. The legislators met under the
eyes of hunger marchers who camped
in the state house for a week, but
the presence of the unwelcome house
guests failed to speed up action on
a relief tax bill.
Instead, the assembly censured
Governor Harold G. Hoffman for
permitting the hunger marchers to
invade the assembly chamber. The
legislators also expelled a spokes
man for the unemployed when he
called Bergen County Assembly
man J. Parnell Thomas a “liar”.
After an hour in session, the
assembly voted to adjourn until
Wedne day. Relief authorities hope
that today’s caucuses will develop
plans for definite action to be
taken Wednesday.
The general opinion is that Wed
nesday’ assembly session will vote
for a return of relief administra
tion to the New Jersey municipal
ities, with some state help.

PONDERED TODAY
U. S. SUPREME COURT TO
HEAR ARGUMENTS ON
MINIMUM PAY
WASHINGTON, April 28 (TP)—
The nine Justices of the Supreme
Court will hear arguments today
for and against minimum wage
laws governing women and child
ren in industry.
Back in 1923, the Supreme Court
ruled that woman and child labor
minimum wage legislation was un
constitutional. However, a new
case, brought to the Supreme Court
from New York State, has been
given consideration by the court.
The present case originated in
New York City, where Joseph Tip
aldo, a laundry owner, refused to
pay the $12.40 minimum wage re
quired by state law. Tipaldo, sup
ported by the New York State
Hotel Association, took the case to
the New York Court of Appeals,
which ruled the state act unconsti
tutional. Attorney General Bennett
of New York moved the case to the
United States Supreme Court
AIR HEROINE OFF
FOR EARNED REST
CHICAGO April 28 (TP)—The
girl who emerged from a recent plane
disaster as a heroine is bound for a
vacation in the tropics today.
Diminutive Nellie Granger was the
hostess aboard a giant T. W. A. trans
port plane which crashed into the
side of an Alleghany ridge in a fog
severalweeks ago.
Eleven persons died in the crash
I and the death toll might have been
13 had it not been for Miss Granger.
She pulled two passengers to safety
and then ran more than a mile to a
farmhouse to get help.
Airline officials thought that her
heroism merited a vacation. Now that
she is fully recovered from the shock
which accompanied her tragic ex
perience, Miss Granger is bound for
New York, where she will board a
boat for a leisurely tropical cruise on
Saturday.
attacked as “recommending a rad
ical policy to American youths.”
The controversy grew more heated
last night when a legion county
committeeman charged that a
Hearst reporter led the fight
against the booklet. Miss Irene
Boyd of the committee said the
Hearst newsman harangued the
legionnaires, promising “to make
the front pages of all the Hearst
newspapers if the committee would
withdraw the pamphlet.” Said Miss
Boyd: "He said the committee was
missing the opportunity of its life
by not suppressing the pamphlet
publicity.”
Commander McCabe said the
Texas Congressman. Maury Maver
ick, wired him today and asked
for a copy of the booklet. McCabe
said Maverick wants to get it into
the Congressional record.
King Fuad Modern Monarch
Os Egypt Is Dead; England’s
Rule to Wane Under His Son
LATE EMPEROR WAS
STRONGLY ATTACHED
TO BRITAIN
CAIRO, April 28 (TP)—K in g
Fuad, the first, of Egypt is dead.
He will be succeeded on the
throne by the young Crown Prince
Farouk and a regency.
King Fuad died today after a few
days critical illness. The monarch
was first stricken by a severs hem
orrhage after his teeth were ex
tracted. Then gangrene developed.
Several blood transfusions failed
to check his ebbing life. He made
a startling rally today, but sudden
ly collapsed and died within a few
minutes.
Fuad became the first Egyptian
monarch of modern times in 1922.
Fuad was born in 1868, Ahmed
Fuad Pasha, sons of the Kdehive
Ismail Pasha. His family was
strongly attached to the British
interests and assumed nominal con
trol over the country under the
British Protectorate.
In 1917, Fuad succeeded his
brother as Sultan. In 1922 the Pro
tectorate was withdrawn and Fuad
was proclaimed the first i'.ing of
Egypt. In the 20’s Fuad devoted
his time to cultural pursuits His
most notable work in raising the.
educational standards of Egypt
was his establishment of the Uni-!
versity of Cairo.
Meanwhile, .the Nationalist!
parties in Egypt who fought Brit
ish domination began to force their
way to power. When they forced
the resignation of Fuad’s cabinet,
the Monarch, himself took over the
reins c* government. He tightened
his grip until he had the constitu
tion changed to reduce the power
of Parliament to an advisory func
tion.
The last year of his life has seen
resurgence of Nationalism in
Egypt which the King was unable
to smother out— ..
Under Egypt’s new ruler it is be
lieved that the British influence
will wane. The 16-year-old King
Farouk will be guided by an Egypt
ian regency.
King Fuad will probably be bur
ied in the great Rafai Mosque in
Cairo. There, under the solemnities
of the Moslem faith he will be laid
with illustrious ancestors.
BATTLE TO HALT
COMMUNIST GAINS
FRANCE WILL HOLD RUN
OFF ELECTIONS NEXT
SUNDAY
PARIS, April 28 (TP)—A battle
to halt the sweeping Communist
gains predicted in next Sunday’s
run-off elections is under way in
France today.
Right-wing and centrist political
leaders are worried over the start
ling communist vote recorded in
Sunday balloting, when the Reds
polled at least 1,500,000 votes for
Chamber of Deputies candidates.
The figure was nearly double the
800.000 Communist votes recorded
in the 1932 parliamentary elections.
With candidates in 433 of the
country’s 618 electoral districts fac
ing a run-off election on Sunday be
cause of their inability to poll an
absolute majority last Sunday,
Conservatives are mustering their
forces for a “Stop the Communist
Ticket’’ drive. Radical-Socialists,
who banded together with Social
ists and Communists in Sunday’s
election, are being urged to aban
don the united front to fight for
the election of more Conservative
candidates. Unless this drive suc
ceeds, the French Communist party
is conceded at least 50 seats in the
House of Deputies.

ROOSEVELT WILL GET ALL
DEMOCRATIC DELE
GATES BOTH STATES
Voters went to the polls in
Massachusetts and Pennsyl
vania today to elect delegates
to the Republican and Demo
cratic national conventions. The
voting started off slowly in both
states, particularly in Massa
chusetts In Boston only about
a quarter of those eligible were
expected to go to the polls.
President Roosevelt will get all
the Democratic delegates in both
states. They are pledged to him. 72
in Pennsylvania and 33 in Mass
achusetts. Col. Henry Brekenridge
has filed his name on the Presi
dential preference ballot in Penn
sylvania to give anti-New Dealers
a chance to file their protest.
The Massachusetts primaries are
regarded as important to the Kan
sas Governor, Alfred Landon. The
middle-westener’s supporters pre
dicted that he will get as high as
75 per cent of the G. O. P. ballots.
Anti-New Deal Democrats will
focus their eyes on the Pennsyl
vania primaries today.
For the first time in the present
campaign, President Roosevelt is
facing opposition on a primary bal
lot. His political foe is th© New
York attorney, Col. Breckenridge,
a former assistant secretary of
state and as yet an unknown quan
tity in the political field.
President Roosevelt is conceded
a victory in the Pennsylvania vote.
However, any kind of a showing
by Breckenridge might bring anti-
New Dealers into line behind ths
Colonel in other states. Brecken
ridge was rumored to have Amer
ican Liberty League backing, al
though the Liberty League denies
that it is interested in the attop
ney’s campaign.
On the Republican primary bal
lot, Senator William E. Borah will
be unopposed. The primary results
are not binding and general pre
dictions mention an uninstructed
Pennsylvania delegation to the
Cleveland convention, with pos
sible leanings towards
Alf Landon of Kansas.
Massachusetts Democrats and
Republicans also will go to the pri
mary polls today. Voters in the
Bay Slate are offered the chance
to write in their preferred Presi
dential nominee and a battle royal
is expected on the Republican tick
ets when supporters of Borah. Lan
don, Col. Frank Knox, Senator Van

The Massachusetts primary vote
is not binding, although in the
past, preferential primary results
have dictated the early sentiment
of the Massachusetts convention

ST. PAUL. April 28 (TP).—The
prediction of many a political observ

ment that Minnesota’s Governor Ol
son will run for the United States
Senate. Governor Olson has formal
ly filed his candidacy.
Indications that he had his eye-on
Washington became apparent after
the death of Minnesota's Senator
Thomas D. Schall.
Governor Olson promptly appoint
ed a farmer-labor party colleague to
fill Schall’s unexpired term. Those
who claime to know Minensota poli
tics said then that the governor
would run for the senatorial post
himself at next November’s elections.
