for an unidentified Negro who is al
legged TO have held up three society
women. One of the women was
killed and the others wounded when
they resisted the demands Of the
hold-up man to hand over their
valuables.
With this hold-up as an excuse, the
Birmingham bosses and their police
launched brutal wave Of terror
against the Negro workers. Two Ne
groes were taken out of their beds
and shot down a short distance from
their homes by the police. A Negro
worker getting of freight train
was murdered by railroad dicks, his
companion narrowly escaped the
same fate and was wounded in the
leg. Scores of Negro workers have
been arrested and subjected to the
most brutal third degree methods.
Hundreds of homes have been search
ed for Communist literature. Negro
workers on the streets have been
stopped and searched.
Up to few days ago this was
done under the pretext OF hunting
the man who held up the society
women. The real purpose Of the ter
ror is now openly revealed. Sheriff
Hawkins has announced his intention
to break up all activities Of the mill
liant workers. The capitalist papers
are carrying scream headlines calling
for "the driving out Of the Reds"
Alarmed by the success of the
Communist Party in combating the
boss poison of race hatred and In
rallying thousands OF white workers
to the defense OF the Negro masses
and against the Scottsboro legal
lynching, the bosses are now seeking
to destroy the workers organizations

 BAD EXPLOSION

Norwalk. Conn, June 1S-(UP)- The condition of Miss Eva Le Galli- enne, actres and founder of the Civ ic repertory theater, New York, was described as better" today at Nor walk hospital where, with friend and a maid. she was taken yesterday after a gasoline water heater ex- ploded at her Weston farmhouse. Her name was on the danger list and it was said at the hospital that there was no immediate prospect of her leaving there.
 Miss Josephine Hutchinson, act ress friend of Miss Le Gallienne, and Miss Marie Cou, maid, were also burned about the face, shoulders and arms. Miss Le Gallienne's burns were more extensive. She was burned on the face, shoulders. thighs and chest, and her hair was singed. Dr William W. Tracey, hospital physician. said that unless complications set in" Miss Le Gallienne would recover.
 The explosion occurred when the three women attempted to light the heater which had not been working properly. The women were thrown to the floor. It was believed that gasoline fumes from a leak caused the explosion. Anthony Gerace. Miss Le Gallienne's gardener, heard the explosion and with his wife, Angela. helped beat out the flames on their gasoline sprayed clothing. He then drove them to Norwalk hospital,

POLICE OF THREE TOWNS FIRED AT
 DESPERAD0ES
Three Burglars Interrupted in Store Break at Quincy, Mass, Fled and Were Pursued

Quincy, Mass, June 13.-(UP)-- Hundreds of shots were fired early to-day as police of three south shore communities deployed thruogh the woods of Braintree in an effort to trap three armed desperadoes. Two suspects were captured at gun point, one in Braintree and one in nearby Milton, and held while auth critics sought to identify them as members of the hunted trio. The manhunt started after an atetmpted robbery early this morning at Saunders store in this city. Those captured described themselves as Leonard Hensel of 551 Burkhart street, Chicago, and Lawrence Har- of 22 Dennis street, Roxbury.
 Patrolman Dennis Ford of Quincy saw three men flee from Saunders store here carry to-day. When his command for them to stop went un- needed, he opened fire, one of his bullets piercing the hat of one of fugitives. The trio leaped into an automobile and sped toward Brain tree. Police of that town were mo- tified, espied the car few minutes later, and gave chase. Several shots were exchanged. At point meas the Slater shop the men abandoned the machine and raced into the woods. Police pursued them, firing many shots. More officers were re- cruited from Quincy, Weymouth and Braintree. The desperadoes occa- sionally returned the police fire as the manhunt progressed. but al- though hundreds of bullets coursed through the woods, no one was re- ported wounded.

SECOND WITNESS
 ATHEISTS NURSE
 WASSTRANCLED

Newport, R. l., June 13 - (UP)- A coroborrative witness has bols- tered the states contention that 20 year-old Verna E.. Russell met death by strangulation as the first week of the murder trial of Elliott R. Hathaway hears a close. Hathaway, 28-year-old twin son of 8 Massa- chusetts legislator, is charged with murdering the Portsmouth student nurse on a lonely road near Tiverton on March 23, the first night they went out together.
 pr Elmus Peasley, pathologist and head of the laboratory of Truesdale hospital in Fall River, Mass, where Miss Russell was in training testi- fled that symptoms he noted in as- sisting in the autopsy could lead to no other conclusion than that she died from strangulation. His testi- mony bore out that of Dr Charles H. Bryant, Tiverton medical examiner,
 with whom he had performed the autopsy. Dr Bryant. qualifying as an expert, asserted the girl was killed by means of suffocation caused by human hands.

RADIO COMBINE LIABLE TO LOSE
 ITS FRANCHISE

Washington, June 13-(UP)-The vast communications system of the Radio Corporation of America, reaching around the world and drought its broadcasting subsidiary entering every radio equipped home in the United States. is battling for its very existence.
 Defeated yesterday in an effort to prevent the federal raido commis- sion from proceeding next week with a virtual trial of the corporation's right to hold American radio li- censes, R. c. A., attorneys today de- clared themselves prepared for the test.
 Should the radio commission de- eide that the reference in the radio act of 1927 to monopolistic control of the air applies to the National Broadcasting company, R. c. A.. Communications, Inc, the R. c. A. Victor Company Inc, and the Radio marine Corporation of America-all R. c. A. subsidiaries-the case will be fought on through the courts.
 The radio commission is directed by section IS of the radio act to refuse licenses to any person or com pany found guilty of attempting to create a monopoly in radio squip- ment. When the United States su- preme court decided recently against R. c. A. in the Deforest tube case, independent radio manfuctur- CTS called the commissoin's atten- ton to section 13 and asked the commission to invoke it against R, c. A.

(Unted Press Stan Correspondent
 Chicago, June 13-(UP)-Govern- ment attorneys and investibators de- clared today that indictment of Scarface Al Capone and 63 follow CTS on liquor charges had loaded the proverbial last straw" onto the broad back of the Capone gang and forever broken it's reign of lawless- ness.
 Confidence that Capone's gang was "wecked" was evidenced by U. s. Attorney George E. c. Johnson when he ruued that the underworld leader need not post new bond on the liquor indictment.
 Capone last week posted $50,000 bail on charges of evading income tax. Johnson held this was suffi- cient to cover the new charge also. the Capone gang already is "prac- tically insolvent,' declared Johnson, because of raids and high bonds. and he believes one bond sufficiently protects the government. An idea of the power which Ca pone once held was given in the in- dictments charging that his beer in- dustry earned upwards of $20,000,- 900 annually for 10 years, dating back to the time when Scarface Al was a minor hoodlum" and took orders from leaders whom he later ''muscled" out of the way in his spectacular and dizzy rise to fame and power.

 Event Takes Place T0- day

Greenwich, Conn, June 13.-(UP) The course of true love seemed a little smoother to Charles A. Moore, Jr, of New York, and Miss Rhea L. Munroe of Greenwich, both socially prominent, as they prepared for their wedding to-day. At the suggestion of Deputy Attor- ney General Ernest l.. Averill, Pro- bate Judge William C. Rungee waived the state five-day law last night and Town Clerk Henry P. Crawford issued a marriage license to the couple.
 A few days ago Moore discovered he had forgotten to secure a li- cense for his wedding scheduled for to-day. He tried to get one and learned Connecticuts' five-day law may not be waived except for very special reasons. To Moore it seemed he had very special reasons. His fi- ancee had invited 800 guests to the wedding. He had purchased tickets for an extended honeymoon trip. The Right Rev E. C. Acheson, bishop of Connecticut, had been asked to perform the ceremony at Christ Episcopal church. Judge Rungee was adamant in his refusal until late last night. Then, after a conference in court at which, coun- sel and fathers of the couple be- sought him, he consented, but only after the deputy attorney general had suggested a public policy clause in the state law be used as an ex- cuSe,
