 Members of the Palumbo family were retiring when J2nkowski walked stealthily into the yard in search of a mpanion for whom he had waited for half an hour to re- turn with a pint of liquor for which he had given s1 on Hartford ar enue, according to his story. Mrs. Palumbo. about to lower the shade, was badly frigtened at sight of a strange face at the window. but she had presence of mind enough to rouse her brother-in-law and lay plans to trap the pceper.
 With a searchlight playing into the darkness. she went out one door and her brother-in-law out the other but Jankowski, sensing that he was about to be trapped, ran into the street and dashed through Smai- ley street. Mrs. Palumbo screamed at the top Of her lungs and the po- licemen at the corner of Hartford avenSe and North street heard her and sped to investigate.

Worst Disaster Since Messina Quake of 1908 Strikes Nation Communications Shat tered and Exact Facts Still Meagre.
Local Italian-Americans Worried Over Relatives and Friends Who Live in Area-Frenzied Efforts to Locate Injured Made in Debris.

Naples, Italy, July 23 LR-The terror of earthquake, so sharp and frightful that the number of deaths from sheer fright in Naples alone was estimated at so, struck southern Italy today in three shocks that caused the most widespread devasta- ton in Italy since the great Messina quake of 1908.
 Because of the shattering of con- munications and the difficulty of reaching victims imprisoned in the debris, an accurate account Of the dead and injured still was unavail- able, hut the number of known deaths steadily approached 2eo while the number of injured reached sev- eral hundred with at least hundred in a serious condition.
 Three violent shocks were felt shortly after one o'clock this morn ing and a lesser shock added to the horror at 6:35 a. m.
 Melf Hardest Hit
 The hamlet of Melfi in Apulia was the hardest hit, unconfrmed reports stating that there were 100 deaths there alone.
 Everywhere in the stricken region firemen, soldiers, militiamen and ci- william volunteers dug into the ruins in frenzied efforts to discover wheth- CT there were victims buried there. 1 Damaged walls and roofs were bol- stered up.
 Several hundred persons were in- iured and relief measures were started immediately by the govern- ment, Premier Mussolini himself or dering Senator Cremonesi with special Red Cross train to the scene Of the disaster
 Other rescue trains left for the stricken area from Foggia and hospital at Potenza.

 Although the known dead was placed at 251, there was probabil- ity that the list would be increased as ruined buildings were explored.
 Figures At Noon
 The exact number was difficult to determine because of disrupted com munications but definite figures ob- tained before noon showed deaths and injured divided as follows:
 Naples-Three killed and so in iured, 10 seriously.
 Barile-Ten killed.
 Atela-Six killed.
 Nenosa-Six injured.

 Detroit, July 23 R-Two and a half hours after he had announced the recall of Mayor Charles Bowles by the voters of Detroit Gerald E, (JerrD Buckley, political commen- tator of radio station WMBC was assassinated by three gunmen as he sat in the lobby of a downtown hotel at 1850 a. m. today.
 The staying was the climax of three weeks of gangster killings which have paralleled the intensive and bitter campaign over the pro- posal to recall the mayor on charges which include inefficiency and toleration of lawlessness.
 Police Start Probe
 Four hours after the staying the entire law enforcement machinery of the state was set in motion. Gov ernor Fred W. Green took a hand, ordering Colonel John s. Hersey adjutant of the National Guard to meet him in Detroit. By 9 a. m. the governor, Colonel Bersey and ranking officers of the state police were on the ground assisting local police in an investigation Of the crime. The governor and Colonel Bersey came to Detroit by airplane.
 Mayor Bowles for whose recall 12O,S63 Detroiters voted yesterday had been assailed in political sum- maries given over the radio station by Buckley. The announcer also had unsparingly attacked the city's gangster elements who have carried out ten spectacular slayings in the past three weeks.
 Coming as it did on the heels of the mayors defeat, the staying was seen by some as an outgrowth of enmities caused by the campaign. Police Commissioner Thomas C.. Wilcox, however, saw no connection between the two and indicated that he attributed the staying to Buck ley's radio attacks on gangstnrs and gamblers.

Washington Bureau. x. B. Herald)
 Washington, D. C.. July 23 Just as Senator Frederic c. Walcott of Connecticut is speeding west for a personal inspection of the national sip is linking his name with the un- er-ground forces which have been working to oust Claudius Huston from the chairmanship Of the re- publican national committee.
 As chairman of the senate special wild life, Senator Walcott will meet Senators Harry B. Hawes of Mis- souri, Charles l.. McNary of Oregon, Key Pittman of Nevada, members of the committee. in Chicago, and they will go immediately to northern Minnesota. From there, they con- tinue west to the Jackson Hole coun- try and will visit other game sanctu- aries in the mountain areas of the west The inspection trip will re- quire six weeks or two months, and during that time, the political gos- sip here in the national capital is not likely to bother the Connecticut senator very much.
 Link Rora back With Move
 In the rumbling incident to the forthcoming meeting of the repub- lican national committee. however, there is a reverberation of more than passing interest to Connecticut. Senator Walcott and J. Henry Rora- back. the latter national committee man from Connecticut, are repre- sented in this gossip as among those who have been conspiring to un- of dopesters argue that Walcott and Roraback, in their opposition to Huston, are lined up with the power interests. Another view is that, while Roraback may be play ing the game with the power group, Walcott has been playing the game with President Hoover rather than with any private group with an axe to grind.
 The outstanding fact is that Wal colt will weep no tears when Illus ton relnquishes the chairmanship of the national committee. Walcott has been very close to President Hoover and it would not be ex- traordinary if in his opposition to Huston he reflected something Of the presidents attitude. This ap- pears to be an explanation with more color of logic than the deduc tion that the Connecticut senator
