CHICAGO. Oct. 10.-A ruthless
gang car. believed to have ordered
the Staying Of two of his lieutenants
he suspected of giving information
so federal officers, fought desper-
ately today to thwart the govern
ment war against crime.
The deaths of Gus Winkler and
Edgar Lebensberger, known for their
gang connections, we're ordered, fed
eral officers believe, because Of fear
they might reveal the wide ramiflca-
tions of a gigantic crime ring.
Winkler was killed yesterday by
assassins who fired seventy-two shot
gun slugs into his back few hours
before he was to have been ques-
toned again concerning the $250,000
Chicago mail robbery last December.
Lebensberger was found shot to
death in his palatial North Shore
home last Friday.
Police without CIew
This deaths remained as perplex-
ing a mystery as does the higher
up" from whom they took their
orders and relayed them to hun
dreds of bank robbers, bond thiefs
and racketeers in a dozen middle
western cities.
Both were regarded as big shots"
among gangsters because of their
reputed connections with some one
politically powerful enough to pre-
vent a too clos1 scrutiny of their
activities by city and state authori-
ties
Under the direction of this mod
ern Fagin, according to disclosures
already made, a ring that included
such notorious gunner as Harvey
Bailey, Fred (Killer) Burke, George
machine Gum Kelly, Verne Miller
and Frank Nash, robbed banks and
mail trucks and trafficked in mil
lions of dollars in stolen bonds.
Score Under Arrest
More than a score of men, sus-
pected of implication, already are
under arrest here. Warrants have
been issued for at least seven
others. Those under arrest include
John ]. BOSS Mclaughlin and Ed
ward Sans.
The list of crimes attributed to
the gang includes several kidnap-
ings, the machine-gun robbery of a
Lincoln Meb) bank Of $2,500,000 in
1880, and the $250,000 Chicago mail
robbery last December.
Mclaughlin and Sans were ar
rested in connection with the Chi
cago mail robbery. Lebensperger
had been indicted in connection
with the same crime. Because of
fear he might give federal agents
information, he was marked for
death. Apparently he killed him
self rather than await gang assaSsi-
nation.
Talked Way Out of Probe
Winkler. who talked. his way out

ton by bargaining to return $3.50, 900

been questioned concerning the
Chicago mail robbery and the more
recent federal bank mail holdup

Cunningham.
He was shot down as he walked
nonchalantly from his automobile
TO the door of a beer distributing
company, by gunner hidden in a
small green truck. The killers left
no trail.

and it's comedy treatment of Presi- dential campaigns is both timely and pertinent.
 It is the story of Theodore K. Blair, who couldn't be elected President because he didn't have enough of the hail-fellow-well- met personality-and the story. of Peter Varney, medicine show prop rietor who resembled Blair so closely that he could credibly lend his personality to doing the candidates campaigning for him. Conan, of course, plays both roles, while Durante appears as Curly Cooney, Varney's pal and associate in the medicine show, and Miss Colbert is Felicia Ham mond, who refused to marry Blair and then fell in love with his counterpart, Varney

IN NTENSE DIR AMA OF THE TROPICS HEADS PROGRAM
Spencer Tracy and Peggy Shannon Featured in
 Painted Woman"

A screen drama of the South Seas that is refreshingly different, and tensely gripping in it's many unu- sual situations, The Painted Wo- man." Fox picture, is the current presentation at the Coliseum Thea ter.
 Convincingly enacted by an ex- cellent cast headed by Spencer Tracy and Peggy Shannon it de- tails the hectic affairs of defiant and sarcastic young lady who, in her own words, knows the water front from Mandalay to Panama" :"
 Accompanying a hard-boiled schooner captain from Singapore when she gets in trouble with the police, she is set ashore on an island nearby to await his return from Australia. There she attracts the attention of an amorous poli- tician and an adventurous pearl fisher. The first wants her to take a trip with him; the second much to her amazement-wants to marry her. Torn between these opposing influences and the fear of the captains return, she finds life very complicated indeed, and climaxes follow thick and fast to a highly dramatic ending.
 Peggy Shannon as the girl is a revelation to those who have here tofore seen her only in suppressed roles; she proves herself finished artist, and does beautiful piece of work. Spencer Tracy is even better than his usual brilliant self the rough-and-ready pearl fisher, and Irving Pichel and William (Stage) Boyd share the principal supporting honors. Herbert Mundin, Raul Roulien and Laska Winters are others in the cast worthy of mention. John Blystone's direction is flawless.

GEORGE M.COHAN HEADS CAST OF
 AMUSINCC0MEDY
King of Comedians in Mirth Provoking Film The
 Phantom President"

From medicine man to Presi- dent!
 From an iterant medicine show, George M Conan is catapulted into the White House in "The Phantom President" Paramount's new season comedy opening tonight at the Capitol Theatre, with Clau- datte Colbert and Jimmy "Schnoz- gle" Durante in other featured roles
 The nation is bemoaning the fact that the country needs a man" Into the breach steps the medicine man with a panacea for national ills.
 "The Phantom President" treats audiences to an unusually divert ing picture which hilariously points the finger of derision at the cam paign methods of Presidential candidates.
 This amusing take-off is good because of it's three leading play CTS. But it is also good because 1t has plausible, entertaining story

By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 25.-It's not the same thng-this is Dorothy Tree speaking-working for a neb- ulous career when you don't have to work. at all, and working when your work means bread and butter.
 Miss Tree, brown-eyed brunei whose looks are striking rather than merely pretty, made the dis covery for herself.
 Dorothy Tree, now a movie ac- tress, left Cornell after two years in College because she was impa- tient to be about a career and be- cause ''the 10000 students made me feel she says, Host in a crowd. :"
 She wanted to be writer, but changed to the stage as her aim.
 That found little approval at home, where her father, then a wealthy New York business man, frowned darkly on the idea.

 And then I decided for myself that the way to learn acting was to act. I finally got 'walk-on' as- signments, such as maids, on the stage-and I thought I was really working hard for my money.
 But after father lost his money in the crash, realized that it was different. Subconsciously or other wise, I had been leaning on the
