Most of the land in the Knicker-

would ever be necessary to put

certain other groups have charged
French with exploiting, and claim
that with the aid of public funds
he will recoup his losses on bust

M0SLEY AIM IS
FASCIST. CIRCLE
British Movement, However,
As Strongly NationaIiStic
AS Italy, Germany.
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER,
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, June 2.-Fascist Italy.
Fascist Germany. Fascist Britain.
This is the circle that Sir Os-
valid Mosley, leader of the British
Fascist movement, has sworn to
complete.
If political events in Europe move
toward an Italian German-B British
setup, observers feel that it will
give tremendous impetus to Mosley's
aims.
There are already clear signs Of
sympathy between Mosleys organi-
zation and the Italian Fascist and
the German Nazis.
Mosleys movement, however, is as
staunchly nationalist in its way as
either Mussolinis or Hitler's.
While he feels that Fascism in
evitably will come to every great
power in time he is concentrating
on the conversion of Britain.
Revolutionary by creed, evolution
airy by deed, the British Fascists
foresWear the use of force unless a
Communist uprising should make
force imperative.
Their aim is to profit by the
natural course of disintegration and
then to set up a corporate state on
the established Fascist principle.
Glass barriers would be wiped out,
and class war forced to give way
to cooperation.
Private profit could not be made
at the Expense of the nation and
the working classes.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, June a.
A special session of the state legis-
lature next fall was predicted by

rary chairman of the Association of
Retail Dealers of Indiana, at an
organization meeting of retail mer-

Weidman said failure of auto and
drivers license fees and the beer
taxes to meet early expectations
will result in four or five million
dollar state deficit by the end of the
first year of the McNutt admins
tration. He said gross income tax
funds would be transferred to the
general fund to offset these losses.
If the gross income tax law is
held constitutional in a court test
case to be filed by the association,
efforts to have the legislature allow
retailers to pass the tax on to con-
sumers will be made, Weidman said.

Kansas Prison FugitiveS
Dodging Posses Near
Arkansas Town.
By United Press

d Y CUtt6u fT6SS
MIAMI, Okla, June 2.-Fugitive
convicts from the Kansas state
prison fired a barrage of bullets at
a speeding truck near Sloan
Springs, Ark, today.
The convictS, who escaped Tues
day, blazing trail of crime in four
states, evidently attempted to stop
the truck to obtain gasoline for an
automobile they just had stolen from
Cleveland Beatty.
The truck driver ran the gantlet
of gunf1re without stopping. Jean
Meyer, who heard the shots, and
Mrs. Joe Moore, who saw the fugi-
tiveS take to the dense woods, put
posses on the trail.
The fugitives left a hot but
elusive trail of depredations today
in the tri-States mountain zone.
Rob Bank in Flight
Reports Of their marauding activ-
tiles came always after the convicts
had fled to some new retreat.
Bank robbery was added to the
frightening chain of criminality
that marked the flight of the des-
peradoes from the penitentiary at
Lansing, Kan, on Memorial day.
Murder, abduction and petty rob-
berry already were in the sequence.
Sheriff John York of Craig coun-
ty said today there was no doubt
that five of the mutineers, led by
Wilbur Underhill and Harvey
Bailey, notorious killer and gunman,
were the bandits who held up the
bank of Chelsea, Okla, late Thurs
day and escaped with $4,000.
One Man Identified
A witness identified a picture of
Underhill as one of the bank ban
dts. York said the methods and
descriptions of the bandits were
identical with those of the Kansas
convicts whose flight has spread
through Arkansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma hills.
The Chelsea bandits were trailed
to notorious rendezvous of deSpe-
radoes near Pitcher, Okla. They
fled before whitening gunfire. The
city marshal shot at them as they
retreated from Chelsea, and bull
let's whizzed by an automobile in
which Floyd Torrey and Roy Wag-
ner were riding near Vinita.
Watchman Is Slain
Previously a night Waterman was
slain at Chetopa, Kan, and several
minor holdups were reported in the
path of the fugitives, carried six
hostages with them as protection
from attack when they fled from
the penitntiary.
Late Thursday night the trail
came to light in Tulsa. Police act
ed on underworld tips linked with
the Chelsea bank robbery, and broke
into house there. They found am
munition and ten gallons of whisky
There was evidence the house was
vacated shortly before the arrival Of
the officers.

Ten Million Dollar Project to
Replace Squalor With
Modern Apartment.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, June 2.-AmidSt the
squalor of New York's slums soon
will arise two huge modern apart
ments signahzed definite co-opera-
ton between federal, state and city
governments and private business to
combat the financial plight OF
American municipalities.
Nearly S10,OO0,000 is to be eX-
pended by the Fred F. French Com
panies in constructing two twelve
story buildings to replace insanitary
tenementS in a lower eaSt-slde area
branded as the worst in the city.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
noration has agreed to advance up
to SS.O75 900. at per cent interest,
which represents IS per cent OF the
estimated total cost of the modern
housing development.
Under the New York state nous
inc law the maximum rental Tor
public limited dividend housing
corporations is $3.50 a room. French
hopes TO charge less.
Modernly- Equipped Buildings
Most of the apartments will con-
tain three and one-haf rooms each.
A small number of Az and 5ia rooms
will be available.
In direct contrast with the
gloomy, five and SiX-story walkup
type of buildings now located on the
proposed construction area, the
rooms Will be large. with cross ven
tillation and good outlook. Modern
equipment will include automatic
push button elevators, incinerators
and baths.
It now is necessary in most OF the
buildings for tenants to obtain
drinking and sanitary water from
faucets in rear outside courts. Water
and coal must now be carried up
several flights Of stairs to living
quarters. Streets and courts are
mere slots between buildings and
sunlight is never known to many
occupants.
Land Values Remain High
Although the location is in one
of New York City'S "blighted areas,
where revenues accruing to the city
from taxation are not sufficient to
pay costs of government, land
values remain high The value
which the state housing board al
lowed for the land is Sl3 a square
foot
The ma ority of the land for New
Yorks other housing project has
cost the Hillside Development only
80 cents square foot. The average
cost OF this development is 50 cents
a square foot.

Now is the time to seek gold be-

The discovery of new gold fields
is logical, DR.. Finch said, because
mining companies, with capital, are
becoming interested in prospecting
for the first time. In the past, he
explained, such companies exploited
known ore bodies which, in the
proper sense, is not prospecting at
all.
Now a number of companies are

mary search, using trained men.
