Witnesses to three recent Indiana
bank robberies, including the $24,-
0OO Massachusetts Avenue State
bank job here three weeks ago, were
en- route to Dayton today in an eff
fort to identify John Dillinger, alias
John Hall, 80, held by police there.
Dillinger, in whose room Dayton
police say they found five revolvers,
a large quantity of ammunition, and
S2,604, believed part of the Indian
apoliS bank loot, is understood to
have been identified as one of the
local bank bandits by photographs.
He has been Public Enemy No. l
on the list of Captain Matt Leach,
state police head, who with De-
tectives Claude Dozier and Harvey
Hier went to Dayton early today.
Other officers en- route to Dayton
with witnesses include City De-
tectives Emmett Englebright and
Ernest Whitsett, and Forest Hunt
ington, private detective for insur-
ance companies, who aided Leach
in tracing Dillinger.
Huntington is seeking to connect
Dillinger with the Daleville and
Montpelier bank robberies.
Dillinger is Suspected by Leach of
leading a gang in nearly score of
bank robberies in Indiana, Ohio and
other midwest states during the
summer months.
Officers first suspected Dillinger
when they were told one of the
bandits leaped into the cashiers
cage before the bank employees knew
they were being held up.
This, according to state police, is
a habit attributed to the prisoner,
who in other robberies was report
ed as leaping into tellers' cages
like a panther"
Police said Dillinger was wanted
in connection with a number of
Ohio bank robberieS and he prob
ably would not be released to In
diana officers until after he is tried
in Ohio.

1t is the present intention
to operate the plants for at
least six weeks on the thirty
two-hour schedule and then
resume the normal Ford for

variances as will give the
strictest compliance with the
thirty-fve-hour week maxi
mum set up in the code.
Ford workers now virtually are
back to the famous SIS day which
startled the world in 1914. The
minimum hourly wage in the Ford
plants is now so cents an hour, with
as high as $135 hourly paid for

are certified by American Legion Of
ficials here The men are all to
be selected from the Detroit area.
The official told the United Press
it was probable that the altered
working hours would mean add1-

Ford intends to conform to the
code by working his men on an
average of thirty-five hours for
week." the official stated. Ford has
no intention of violating the code"
Wages we're raised from $500 to

lowing Presidential approval of the
code Though no official announce
ment was forthcoming regarding
either the hours or wages, those
familiar with the company believed
there might be a further wage in

This, they said would be given to
