 Malloy had a, taste for liquor, according to police, and Pasqua. Marine and others-now sought took out policies on him, antici- pating an early death.

Women Gangsters Were Implicated
 In Bank Hold-Up
Bank Robbers Failed and Were Pursued-W0m- an Drove the Car and Another Woman Used the Machine Gun on Pursuers

Lucerne, Ind, May 12-UP)- An automobile with a woman at the wheel and another woman fir ing a machine gun roared through a crowd of townsfolk today, carry ing two frustrated bank bandits in a wild escape.
 Bullets from the machine gun struck two women, one a pedes- trian and the other housewife in her kitchen.
 Neither Ethel Writers, 20, the pedestrian, who was struck in the side. nor Mrs Nora Minor, hit in the left arm by bullets from wo- man gunner's weapon, was believ- ed seriously wounded.
 Everett Gregg, cashier, and Lawson Teller, bookkeeper, opened the Lucerne State bank for the days business when two bandits. who apparently had concealed themselves in the building during the night, leaped down from an alcove above the vault.
 Gregg was in the vault. Zeller ignored a command to hold up his hands and dashed into the vault with the cashier. The robbers fired Il pistol shots in the vault, none of which took effect. The bankers returned the fire with revolvers but missed.
 The shots brought a general alarm. The robbers ran out a rear door and leaped into the automo- bile in which the woman driver waited .at the wheel. The other woman trained her machine gun from the back seat.
 The bandit car roared out of the alley and into the main street. The car headed for an excited crowd gathered in front of the bank. Bullets whistled in a wide sweep as the townsfolk scattered.
 Sheriff Homer Stonebreaker traced the car 10 miles west. then lost the trail.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND
IN new TRADE PACT
Litvinoff and Simon Negotiate
Agreement-Treaty May Cut
American Exports.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 1S.-With an Anglo
Russian economic warfare ended as q
result of negotiations between Maxim
Litvinof, Soviet foreign commissar, and
Sir John Simon, British foreign secre-
tary, Great Britain is looking forward
to a greatly increased export trade with
the Soviet Union, officials said today.
Steady progress is being made TO-
wards new trade pact to supplant the
one scrapped at the beginning OF the
economic troubles, which reached
dramatic heights with the trial OF SIX
British electrical engineers on charges
of sabotage and bribery in Moscow.
American trade observers point out
that factors other than the Litvinoh-
Simon dealings here may tend to reduce
American trade with Soviet Russia in
relation to the expected Anglo-Russian
trade increases.
The hesitancy of American exporters
to extend long-term credits to Soviet
Russia remains another drawback to
Russo American trade. Russian orders
have been steadily decreasing during the
past year, and observers say that former
purchases of such products as machin-
cry are not likely to be revived soon.

PUBLIC GRAZING
LAND IS OPENED
Secretary Ickes Orders Removal of
Fences in Arizona and
New Mexico.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes today
reversed the policy Of two Of his prede-
cessors and ordered thousands of acres
Of public land in Arizona and New Mex
leo, allegedly fenced in illegally for
many years by large cattle interests,
thrown open to public grazing.
Under 1ckes' order, many miles Of
fences, which the Interior Department
said had been illegally erected, must be
torn down.
The Department, in announcing the
Secretary's action, pointed out that a
law passed In 1885 makes construction
and maintenance of such fences GRIM
inal offense punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment, as well as civil offense
In 1917, the Department said, it was
decided to let such fences in Arizona
and New Mexico remain on the repre-
sentation that it was essential as a war
measure because Of the shortage Of men
to herd cattle.
Former Secretary Work issued instruc-
lions to suspend action against violators
Of the law on June 8, 1925, and fur
Their order ON November 81, 1927, di-
recting that unlawful fences erected
subsequent to his previous order should
be removed, but that no action be taken
against those who had put up and main
tanned fences prior to that time.
This permitted those who had No-
lated the law for years to continue to go
UNPUBLISHED and to continue to have ex-
elusive use Of hundreds of thousands Of
acres Of the public lands" the depart
ment said today.
