CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Bandits and
police fought with machine guns,
shotguns and revolverS across the
dance floor of the Parody, one Of
Chicago's SmarteSt night clubs, early
today.
Nearly 200 guests in evening dress
covered under tables.
One man was killed and at least
six persons were wounded. Two
women, one policeman and two per-
sons suspected of participating in
the hold-up were among the vic
tins.
The bandits obtained as loot only
sos and a revolver, taken from
George Shirtz, policeman who was
off duty.
The dirnly lighted hall of the
Parody was a place of revelry when
the bandits entered, with walters
hurrying about with mysterious
glasses and jazz band blaring a
popular air.
Two Bandits Guard Door
But the noise stopped instantly
when the six masked men appeared
at the door and shouted the con-
ventional "Stick EN- up"
Two of the bandits remained at
the door and the other four walked
across the suddenly deserted dance
floor.
There he is" shouted one OF
them, apparently pointing at Dave
Palinski, proprietor.
The sawed-off shotguns barked.
Palinski was not injured.
Police Sergeants Charles Cohen
and John Fried, both off duty, drew
their guns, crouched behind tables
and opened fire on the bandits. The
machine guns ratified cut their slugs
and the shotguns sprinkled lead
among the tables under which
guests and entertainers crouched to-
gether.
Harry Smith, waiter, was killed
as he attempted to escape. His
body fell in the doorway.
In the melee some of the bandits
escaped, how many police were not
certain. The guns were silenced and
guests started to leave, leaping over
Smiths body in the door. Police re-
serves arrived before many had left
and held the rest for questioning.
Entertainer Shot
Cohen was wounded, not criti-
cally. Mrs. Fannie Hillman, guest,
and June Griffin, %, entertainer,
were shot. The latter was reported
in critical condition.
Able Schaeffer, %, and an I'M
identified man we're critically
wounded. Both were said by police
to have been members Of the hold
up gang. The unidentified man
was found unconscious, still clasp
ing a sawed-off shotgun.
William Malone, at first believed
to be a patron, was wounded. He
was taken to Bridewell Hospital, in
dicating that police wanted to queS-
ton him.
Police said they believed the raid
was staged solely a sa hold-up, and
that it had no connection with the
city's gang warfare.

But ! Keep My Belief in
Santa Says Child,
When Doubt CreepS in.
BY ROBERT G. BATMAN

BY hObEhI ". bAIMAN
r TITLE Ellen believes in santa
~ Claus more than ever now.
And she wants every boy and
every girl in indianapolis. and
grown-up persons, too, once again
to have faith in that jolly old
man from the North, who lives
just to make folks happy at
Christmas time.
Just a few days ago Ellen
wasn't so happy. Fear had come.
1t was the same fear which
strikes at all of us some time in
hfe-the fear which comes when
for the first time we doubt some
ideal dear to our hearts and which
perhaps has guided our destinies
and been our reason for living.
Course, Little Ellen, didn't real
ize this.
ELLEN is 10 years old. She is
- in the sixth grade of an In
dianapolis public school.
She had been looking forward
to Christmas eagerly and anxious
ly-waiting for the annual COM
ing of the jolly old chap.
Then her teacher ushered in
the fear and doubt.
There is no Santa Claus" said
the teacher.
Have you ever learned suddenly
that a dear friend was not worthy
of your trust? You can realize
how Ellen felt
Ellen is not one to loose faith
just because someone whispers
SANDER. She sticks to old friends
like Santa, whom she knows has
brought happiness and JOY to
millions each Yuletide.
my teacher told us that we do
not have a Santa Claus" she
wrote to The Indianapolis Times.
"She said that our parents buy
our toys"
And then Ellen added the SEN
tence which proved she is a per-
son Of strong convictions.
But I believe in Santa Claus"
q It
A ND so Ellen might know that
n the hearts of other Indian
apolis boys and girls would not
be wounded by unthinking teach
ers who would destroy Santa and
his good cheer, School Superin-
tendent Charles F. Miller was APP
pealed to.
He, too, was glad little Ellen
still holds fast to her old friend.
santa should not even be dis
cussed by teachers" he said.
"Any revelations concerning his
character should be left to the
parents who first told the Riddles
about him.
GO Little Ellen believes in Santa
~ Claus more than ever now.
And she will continue to believe
in that cheer-giving old man from
the land of ice, even as all Of us
do who realize what a poor thing
Christmas would be If there were
not a Santa to spread that mes
sage Of the Christ, whose birthday
Christmas celebrates:
Peace on Earth, good will to
Men"

 "The Third Degreei" Words that carry a connotation of horror and miserable injustice; naggins. bullying, brow-beating, torture, forced confession: the modem version of lnquisitions.
 Happily. the third degree" in this country has, to a large ex- tent, given way to more scientific. less painful. and infinitely more accurate methods in police da- partments. Bewildered prisoners no longer writhe on a stool of agony, a binding light flooding their weary eyes, with harsh voices in the darkness beyond threatening. cajoling, insisting, de. manding. questioning them uni their senses reel and the earta seems to be staggering crazily through trackless space. They are no longer clapped awake CT roughly shaken by manicured paws out of the darkness, tempted with food. with drink, tempted with promises of freedom and leniency and rest to confess a ter rible crime of which they arc guiltless.
 Miss Costello appears as the wife Of third degree victim. Louise Dresser. as the mother is featured in the supporting cast, which includes Jason Richards Rockliffe Fellowes, Kate Price and Tom Santchi.
