Bakers Praised for
Restricting Advance

Washington, Aug. 14.-(F)-The av-
erage price of a pound loaf Of white
bread in 16 representative cities rose
about Ia cents from February Is to
August 2.
But in making this report Monday
through tie farm adjustment admin
istration, DR.. Fred G. Howe. consum-
ers' counsel, added:
"Considering the increases in ma
terial costs, the moderateness Of this
advance In average price reflects the
cooperative spirit with which the
bakers of these cities have lived up to
assurances given Secretary Wallace by
the president of the American Bakers
association that they would do their
best to limit bread price advances to
the increase in ingredient and other
production COSTS"
This compilation showed the aver
age price OF the pound loaf In cities
named was 7.s cents on August and
that in the period studied the cost of
ingredients in pound loaf had in
creased l.3 cents.
About half Of the 1.3 cents rise In
the cost of bread ingredients, the re-
port continued, was due to the process
sing tax on wheat, the remainder to
higher prices for the grain and other
material used in the ordinary white
bread loaf.

finger-printing, the whipping post,
exile, tight parole laws and sort Of
American Scotland Yard, were urged
on senate SUBJ committee Monday
as methods to curb racketeering.

Royal S. Copeland, held its first re-
gional open hearing In the bar asso-
citation building with more than 200
interested spectators. Among the

coordinate its efforts. Mulrooney adj

lashes with 20 years." and federal
control Of fire arms. The latter also
thought parole laws should be tight
ened and agreed that exile Of racke-
teers to an island prison would
help"
Commissioner Bolan presented a
discussion of crime statistics, laying
emphasis on kidnapping.
1.-THE police are not fearful that they
cannot cope with the situation" he
said. They only ask the public to as
sist them"
Bolan told the committee there was
"too much red tape" to getting wit
ness from one state to another. He
believed federal coordinating bureau
would be valuable in detecting crime
but warned too much outside assist
ance would be resented by local au-
thorities.

study racketeering, sat with Null
rooney to listen to the proceedings.

day have representatives and equip

said.
The former commissioner then ad-

URSCHEL ABDUCTION
SOLVED BY ARREST
OF FAMOUS BANDIT
Harvey Bailey, Nabbed in Tex.
as, Has Part Of Money
Paid For Ransom
FINGER PRINTS FOUND
Federal Officers Stumble on
Criminal Wanted For
Robbery and Murder

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 14.-(R-Harvey
Bailey, notorious outlaw and alleged
machine-gun killer. was arrested Sat-
urday at farmhouse which federal
agents said was the rendezvous
where Charles A. Urschel, millionaire
kidnap victim, was held a prisoner.
The officers said they found Ur-
schel's fingerprints In profusion
about the place.
Bailey carried large sum Of the
money identified as part Of the $780,
600 ransom paid for Urschels re-
lease.
Federal officers stumbled upon
Bailey without knowing OF his
whereabouts. He was asleep on q cot
In the back yard Of the farmhouse
which had been under surveillance
for several months because of mys-
ferrous visits by strangers In large
automobiles.
Gus A. Jones, In charge of the San
Antonio office of the department of
justice, recognized Bailey from photo
graphs.
No Chance to Fight
Although heavily armed, Bailey did
not have a chance to fight since he
was under cover Of machine guns
when the officers aroused him.
rs anybody In the house?" the Of
ficers asked Bailey.
mo" was his reply.
well, II there is and shooting
starts we are going to kill YOU" was
the officers threat.
Bailey had his cot placed near an
automobile loaded ready for his de-
parture.
He was understood to have gone to
the farmhouse late Friday night.
Bailey had alongside him on the
cot two pistols and q rifle. Another
pistol and a machine gun were on the
farmhouse porch 10 or IS feet away.
Officers intimated Bailey's capture
had not been made public until Mon
day because they had remained In
ambush at the farm home expecting
the arrival Of Bailey's associates, pos
sibly Verne Miller or Wilbur Under
hill.
In Prison Break
Bailey was one OF the five convictS
in the recent Lansing prison escape
who sent a letter to an Oklahoma
city newspaper declaring they had
robbed the Black Rock, Ark. bank for
which others were under arrest. They
authenticated their letter with their
fingerprints, all Of which proved
genuine.
Although they asserted the letter
was in the interest of freeing inno-
cent suspects. officers believed this
bold communication was an attempt
to establish an alibi in the Kansas
City killings, since the Black Rock
bank was robbed June Is, the day be-
fore the Union Station shooting.
At Washington. Attorney General
Cummings said Bailey had positively
been identified as the machine gun
ner who killed Frank Nash, a convict,
and four police officers at the door Of
the Kansas City Union station.

PUBLIC WORKS AND
RELIEF EFFORT TO
Be JOINED TO NRA
Proposal Made Public After
Johnson and Hopkins Talk
I
With President =
EIGHT AGREEMENTS SIGNED
Approval Of New Trade Pacts
Makes Almost 100 Indus
tries Under Code

Washington, Aug. 14.-(FNCloser
coordination Of the National Recovery
campaign with the public works and
federal relief administrations was
decreed Monday as President Roose-
welt set himself personally to the task
of driving forward the program Of
economic stability.
This plan for tieing the three
agencies together was revealed after
a conference at the white house be-
tween the president, Hugh s. Johnson,
the recovery administrator, and Harry
L. Hopkins, tho relief administrator.
The recovery administration mean
time approved modified presidential
Unemployment agreements for eight
additional industries, permitting the
employers in these groups to receive
the blue eagle by complying with the
prescribed wage and hour scales.
These included the cigar n1anufac-
turing, sausage casing, office equip
ment, sheet rubber and related sum
dries, cotton compress and warehouse,
telephone manufacturing, yeast and
retail confectioners industries.
The approvals brought near to the
hundred mark the number Of indus
tries now operating under temporary
codes Of minimum wages and maxi
mum hours pending adoption Of per-
manent codes.
Efforts Of johnson to smooth out
the controversy In his consumers ad-
visory board growing out Of conflict
ing views on policy of Mrs. Mary Har-
riman Rumsey, the chairman, and
Prof. William G.. Ogburn, nationally
known economist, apparently had fail
ed with the formal resignation of o.
burn.
The expectation Is that Roose-
welt will approve an elaboration Of
the idea the administrator is ad-
vancing now, as in his st. Louis
speech Sunday night when he said:
Says to Ask EN-
1T you see place where there is
none and you do any kind of bust
ness there you have a right to ask:
Brother, where Is your blue eagle?'
and Gf the answer does not to you
seem fair) to take your business
elsewhere. II every person did
that for a week there would not be
store or a shop or factory In this
whole country without its blue eagle"
NRA officials declined Monday to
estimate with any claimed attempt
at accuracy how far they had come
toward their original goal Of putting
100000 unemployed back to work
BY Labor day. But their guesses
ranged as high as 100000 and as
low as 100000.
Score upon score Of codes have
been submitted, five major industrial
plans approved, 40 to so industries
authorized temporarily to substitute
their own unapproved codes hour
and pay conditions for labor provi-
sions In the Roosevelt blanket code.
Through temporary measures such
as these NRA officials estimated fully
100000 workers were or soon would
be affected by the blue eagle. They
explained they did not mean that
100000 new workers had been or
would be hired, because Of what had
SO far been done.
The recovery administrations hope
Is that within 30 days, virtually all
basic employers will be covered in
their own codes.
