IF JACK DIAMOND RECOVERS HE MAY
 GET LIFE TERM
Move Is Under Way to Send Him There on Sullivan Law and for Kidnapping

Catskill, N. Y, April 30. (UP)-A move to put Jack Gegs. Diamond, in prison for life in event of his re- covery, and a drive to learn whether county officials are involved in rac- keteering here, were started to-day. will go before the Greene county grand jury tomorrow and ask in- dictments charging the New York gang leader, who was shot, down by enemies at the Saratoga inn Sunday night, with violation of the Sullivan anti-firearms law and Kidnapping. The latter charge is based on ac- cusations brought by James Duncan, who alleges he was kidnapped with Grover Parks, a farmer, when the latter was seized by Diamond and
 his henchmen while delivering q
 load of hard cider. Parks claims he was taken to Diamonds garage at Acra and tortured when he refused to reveal the location of an apple
 jack still in the Catskill hills. Bennett said the gangster already has been convicted twice, once for
 desertion from the army and for as-
 sault. If the attorney general se-
 cures convictions on firearms viola
 tion and Kidnapping charge, he will send Diamond to jail for life under the Baumes habitual criminal law. In the meantime, he has sub poenaed the bank accounts of near ly 100 persons in this country, some
 of whom are said to be county of ficials.
 Bennett said he had received nu-
 merous letters stating that persons prominent in public affairs were connected with Diamond in his ap- plejack and beer-running activities i here. It was to investigate these
 charges that he has subpoenaed the
 bank accounts. he said.
 Whidle moves were being made to
 drive his gang from the hills here,
 Diamonds condition from the five
 gunshot wounds was growing steadi- l ly worse. Physicians said that pleurisy, forerunner of pneumonia,
 had developed. They have received
 permission from Greene county
 authorities to operate on the wound
 ed gangster if they believe it is necessary.

MANY CITIES AND
 TOWNS IN RUSSIA LAID IN RUINS
Repeated Earthquake Shocks That Started Monday Have Worked Destruction Everywhere
BY CHARLES MAIIMUTH [1uitnd VSreSS Staff (OrreSOOrlCnt

United Press Staf1 COFfeSIDOHOcHt) Moscow, April 30 (UP) = Nine districts and approximately two score cities and towns of Trans caucasia lay in ruins today as the result of repeated earthquake shocks in the mountainous south. western extremity of Soviet Russia, The total death toll over an area of several hundred square miles, chiefly in the Nakhitchevan area. was estimated at around 22O, but casualties were mounting as late advices were received. Hundreds of persons were injured and many thousands were homeless, hungry and suffering from torrential rains. In the Geryusinsk region alone 10000 were reported homeless.
 The earth shocks, which began Monday night, have continued in- termittently, wrecking more build . ings or crumbling walls already damaged by quakes.
 Relief forces and supplies of the Nakhitchevan government were not adequate for even a small part of the affected area and the Soviet Union authorities, the governments of neighboring Soviets and the gen. eral public were uniting to carry aid to the stricken region. Medical supplies were dispatched from re- lief headquarters at Tiflis. which suffered less severely in the quakes, and from Erivan.
 The most seriously damaged re- gions included the following:
 Sisiansky, where almost all vile lages were ruined and at least 150 persons were killed. This is an Armenian region.
 Kafansk, where the shocks were particularly severe, demolishing the villages of Barabatum, Revkar. Art sevanik, Atchagan. Shalardzhig. Khaladzhaokhtchi, Verkniand. Rer- kodzor, Kjdzharantsii and others.
 Geryusinsk, where 10000 were homeless and shocks destroyed the villages of Shinger, YandzhitatoV and GamodZor.
 Most of the destruction was in Nakhitchevan. centered in the or dubatsk region. The rescue work in this district also was handicapped by severe rain which fell for many hours. Details of the earthquakes were meagre, except to say that sui fering was intense and that the shocks were continuing at intervals terrifying the homeless population.
 Upon the appeal of the govern ment authorities in the stricken re- gions. Premier Viacheslas Molotoy and President Michael Kalinin or dered measures for relief, including funds to be used in rescue work. : :

CITY PARK IS DAMAGED SOME
 BY VANDALISM
Property House brok e n Into, Wire Front on
 Grandstand Cut

Vandalism at Recreation Park since the end of the 1881 baseball season has resulted in considerable damage to the property, it was made known by J. L. Gray, Chief of the Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment, which bought and devel- oped the plant, and maintains it for the benefit of the community.
 Damage has been done to the grandstand, drinking fountain and property house where the surplus store of baseballs, etc, are kept. And in addition to the property damage, 14 new league baseballs were stolen.
 The door to the property house was broken open. Back of the players bench nearest the main grandstand entrance several boards were smashed and broken off the fence. The wire netting protecting the grandstand was slashed and several large holes made, making it necessary to parly recover the front. Debris and filth have been strewn in the grandstand and the place otherwise mistreated.
 "The park and it's adjuncts are the common property of the entire community, and as such they are entitled to be respected by every citizen and fully protected. The Fire Department has spent several years developing serviceable plant there, one in which the city may well feel pride. It is shameful that there are those who have such small regard for the public's own property as to attempt to
