POLITICIANS ALSO GUILTY

Many citizen would like to know the
real facts behind the shooting of Gus
Winkler, gangster, in Chicago yesterday.
He died at the hands of his own kind, in
the usual ION the spot" STYLE from
shower of slugs spouted by shotguns at
close range.
His past record proves that society
could well afford to lose Winkler. There
is no regret at his passing. But there are
lntimations, and they seem well-founded,
that he was killed to shut off informa-
ton which he was furnishing to the
authorities regarding the activities of a,
well organized and immensely powerful
''crime trust
Back of this crime trust" there is be-
lieved to be strong political power, not
necessarily confined to Chicago where
Winkler functioned and where gangdom
has its capital, but spreading over a vast
section of the country.
1t is this phase of gangsterism that
draws more than passing attention to
Winkler's death.
Gangsterism and politics have gone hand
in hand for the past decade or more Each
has shielded anG aided the other. 1t is
a strong statement to make but it is a
true one proved many time by the ease
with which known murderers and rack
eIeerS Nave peen aole 10 escape the penl-
Tertiary or the gallows.
The recent wholesale convictions for
kidnapping, the present trial of Machine
Cum Kelly, and the determined effort
the federal government is making to
break up gangsterism, give hope that
eventually this ulcer spot in our national
life will be cleared up. 1t will not be
cleared up satisfactorily if arrests and
convictions are confined to gangSterS
Their politician allies must also be
brought to the bar of justice.
Winkler's death should not, and prob
ably will not, close the Investigations
which prompted his assassination. That
act tells only too plainly that the going
was getting too hot for the higher ups.
The probe should be dug in deeply to
bring out the guilty ones.

REQUESTED
OF 'COSM|c DUST"
Investigation May Throw New
Light on Showers of
MeteorS on Earth.
BY THOMAS X. HENRY.

Supposed 'coSmic dust" which falls
on the earth from outer space Is being
investigated at the Arctic stations set
up by the International Polar Year
Commission, according to reports re-
ceived here
This is the aSh-like residue of shoot
ing stars. or meteorites. which bonn
bard the earth in countless numbers
every year. but which are mostly con-
sumed by the heat set up by friction
in the outer reaches Of the planets at
moSphere SO that very few ever hit the
surface. Ordinarily 1t is impossible to
separate the dust particles from outer
space and the dust of earthly origin
which is known to contaminate the at
mosphere up to height of at least four
miles
Collection Requested.
Requests for the collection of this
dust in the Arctic. especially on the
great Greenland icecap, have been sent
from the United States to the headquar-
terS of the International Polar Year
Commission in Copenhagen at the sug-
geStion Of DR.. w. A. Fisher of Yale
University. BY analysis of it, it is be-
lieved, further insight can be obtained
into the nature of the fiery rain which
