 There is only one way to stop these things-'no ball. I've been q merchant on the east side for 20 years. know these men are desperate. They haven't got much sense. They will do anything tc get their hands on some cash There must be q universal law against the sale of guns. The Wick ersham report says we are paying nearly $8 per capita for the ad- ministration of justice. This is moi nearly enough. We ought to pay more and we will have to pay more but I don't know where we will get it.'
 Mrs Leon Baily. an undertaken wife:
 "The way Fridays gangsters were treated Is the way. They ought to be killed and treated the same way they treat everybody else. I think prohibition is to blame for the whole trouble"
 George Caso, a Hester street grocer:
 Tt ought not to go on. The cops should shoot first and shoot to kill They should show no mercy to the killers. Paroles should not be granted to criminals"
 Patrolman Patrick J. Casey, a father who patrols a midtown beat:
 Most of these gangsters are men who get their desperate courage from the use of dope. When the effect has worn off, they are like rats covering and cringing. They are afraid of your little finger Give 'em the works is my motto I'll shoot first and shoot to kill If see a man start a stickup. A lot of these kids have home life that is about as bad as jail and they don't mind stretch of {. couple of years. Sentences should be more severe. The sale of guns should be strictly regulated. Much of the blame may be laid to prohi- bition but I think unemployment may have great deal to do with 1t.
 Dominic Lorossi, proprietor of a speakeasy:
 T think we should have vigilante committees out after these thugs. The things they are doing are ter rible and they ought to be executed without mercy"

Two Great Flyers
 Reach New York
(Continued from Page 1)

The flyers ordered their Bellan- ca monoplane removed from the Excalibur and prepared for m early departure tomorrow for Boston.
 Following receptions here and in Boston, Boardman and Polandc plan to fly to Cleveland for the national air races.
 The flyers left Floyd Bennett field, the first nonstop trans Atlantic expedition to leave an airport within the city limits, on the morning of July 28 and landed at Istanbul, 5,014 away, 49 hours and 20 minutes later to set their flight record.
 Among the first to greet them in the crowd there was Dr James aided the flyers in mapping out their successful course over the Atlantic.
 The official welcome was com paratively simple and quiet, in keeping with the request of the fly CTS. A drizzle kept the crowd somewhat smaller than in previous receptions, but both Boardman and Polando had asked that the ceremonies not be elaborate. Boardman, acting as spokesman for the flyers, was high in his praise for the cooperation of the authorities here in facilitating the start of their flight. He also laud. ed the hospitality of the Turks ant said that every courtesy had beer extended them.
 we had an audience of ovel an hour and a half with Mustaphs Renal Pasha," Boardman said ir referring to their reception by the president of Turkey. We were greatly impressed by his ability and strength. The Turks were very kind to us.'
 The flyers were greeted by their wives and relatives, including
 Boardmans three sisters, Claire and Alice Boardman, and Mrs Rodger Hawthorne, and his broth CT. Earl Boardman. MT and Mrs G. M. Bellanca were among the persons welcoming them. Bellan- ca designed the plane in which they set the distance record. Polando was cheered by word that his stepdaughter. Margery Bradshaw, 10, was not suffering from infantile paralysis, as earlier reported, but from an infected sinus. Doctors said she was out of danger, his wife told him.
 An unofficial member of their party who attached himself to the flyers was James F. McCabe, a customs officer. He kept an eye on diamond studded decorations pre- sented to Boardman and Polando by the Turkish government, his presence causing some little amusement. It had not been de- cided, McCabe explained. whether they were to be charged duty on the bejeweled dcorations and until dcision was made by the higher ups, he had been assigned to keer the diamonds in view.
 Boardman and Polando left Bennett field for Turkey with ever less ceremony than they returned by steamer to-day. Some fear was | felt for their safety when they were not reported sighted for 3f hours or more, but they flew with out major difficulty over the peril ous Atlantic route directly to 1s-
 tanbul, their goal, landing July 20, on schedule. They plan an air tour of the United States, 1t was understood

AIRSHIP WRECK
PLOT SUSPECT
FELL FOR TRAP
Detects on Akron Left
PurpoSeIy for Him as
Detectives Watched.

AKRON, o., March 20.-Paul F.
Kassey, 81, charged with a plot To
destroy the worlds largest dirigible,
the Akron, pleaded not guilty to-
day to charges of violating the Ohio
criminal syndicalism laws.
by spoken word and by word of
mouth Kassey, a rivet inspector
for the Goodyear Zeppelin Corpora
ton, was charged with communicate
ing to fellow employees a plot to de-
stroy the Akron, now in process of
construction for the United States
navy, as the greatest lighter than
air craft ever designed.
He had worked at the Goodyear
plant since last June, and for the
last month as the unwilling fellow
worker of two secret service men,
who watched him approve faulty
construction work, which purposely
had been left there for his inspec-
ton.
Planned for Crash
Gradually working into his con-
f1dence. the agents said the inspect
or told them of his plan to leave
out rivets at vital points in the
ships framework and a more serious
plan of gaining access to the con-
troll room of the craft when it was
ready for launching-scheduled for
July.
At that time, the agents declared
the checker planned to MAIN the
mechanism so that the ship would
crash upon its first trial flight.
Willing to Give Life
In substantiating the agents
story, another fellow worker quoted
a statement from Kassey that he
was willing to give his life" to
cause the destruction of the Akron.
After the warrant had been in
terpreted to him, Kassey revealed
what probably will be his defense.
He replied that he was trying to
trap radicals and was trying to get
information out of the two federal
undercover men who had been
planted at my side to get informa-
ton out of me-"
II was to check on the radicals .
he said. Il was trying to do some
thing to help and now everything
has been turned against me. 1t is
a frameup."
Held on $4,000 Bond
The plea of not guilty was en-
tered before Police Judge Frank
Harvey after officials quoted him
with a confession and a boast that
he was more valuable to the Com
munist party than 100 ordinary
Communists" Bond was fixed at
$4,000 which he was unable to
provide. He was returned to Jail
to await preliminary hearing Sat-
urday.
The inference of a political plot
SHE'D officials somewhat from their
preliminary belief that the asserted
Vaccinations we're elf-contrived.
They planned to question Kassey's
wife and an unnamed woman COM
panion in an effort to learn il
there we're other possible accom-
plices or existence Of Communistic
intrigue.
At the same time, a new investi-
cation was launched in Cleveland
where sabotage repeatedly had
been attempted against a group of
naval planes which we're construct
ed in the plant of the Great Lakes
Aircraft Corporation where Kassey
formerly was employed.

Muncie had little trouble
sweeping into the second
round of play, humping Ken

hard-fought first quarter, the
Bearcats got the range and
scurried into a 1877 edge as
the half ended.
The third quarter found big
Jack" Mann, Muncie'S giant Negro
center, hitting the hoop with reg
ularity and the BearcatS held 1913
lead at the conclusion of the third
period. The Muncie crew contin-
ued it's drive through the fourth
quarter and Bearcat subs we're on
the floor as the game ended.
Collects Seven Goals
Mann had collected seven field
goals in the conflict and Chuck
German, star floor guard, had made
five on his part.
Washington, however, ran into a
stone wall defense that Shortridge
flung up in the second game and
the champion Hatchets were forced
to stage the most thrilling rally in
the tournament history to exc out
their victory.
After leading, IA, at the first
quarter mark, Shortridge evered
things up and only field goal ny
De Jernet in the last seconds gave
the Washington team a 1911 lead
at the half.
The Indianapolis team fought the
1890 basket kings to a virtual stand
still in the third quarter and the
period ended with the rivals even
at 17-all.
De Jernett Makes History
Shortridge rushed into the lead
in the last quarter, and in the last
minute held a one-point edge. Heck
man found himself open and made
it a three point margin.
On the next tip-off, De Jernet
batted the ball back, rushed to the
foul line and received the pass. He
tented and dribbled under for a
field goal.
The players went back for the
next tip-off and big Dave" again
