 Mccarthy only escaped death by s4 hours If had put off the arrests of the men another day he would have been killed The robbery sus- poets told him so when they were ar raigned and held in S125,000 bail each.
 They had become suspicious of Me Carthy who was posing as a. western hoIdup man. when he failed to dis pose of mail robbery bonds they had given him after he told of "a friend" who would buy them.
 Police and postal inspectors are searching for the remainder of the stolen securities. It is believed they are hidden in or near New York as was the S4OO.O00 found in an old barn on Long Island.

ccived the following information re-
lating TO Congressional action for eX-

yicn chairman of the National l1egis-
lative committee, Washington. ID. CT:
A bill (H. K. 1042S) has been in
troduccd authorizing the bestowal OF
medals Of honor and ribbon bar upon
enlisted mon of the World War whose
entire service was honorable and who
were cited for bravery or herolsm up

ticn and naturalization on FEB. 10 re-
ported favorably on II. j. Res. G6S,

cnt immigration act and its passage
will authorize the extension of the
