What is claimed to be the governments first wild life policy is contained in the report of President Roosevelt's Wild Life Restoration Committee, composed of Thomas Beck, Connecticuts energetic chairman of the fish and game commits sion, "Ding" Darling, well-known car- toonist, and Aldo Leopold, the Wisconsin college head. In 5000 word report the commission asks $50,O00000 for it's plans, which to date have been approved by AZ different organizations in this country. Among other things the report says, "The committee has the temerity of the Secre- taries of the Interior, Agriculture and Commerce. The commissioner should supervise the following services: Federal parks, Federal forests, reclamation, fish cries, wild life, erosion control, public do- main emergency conservation work, and mosquito control. :" Generalization of control of such work is probably the most important step. Today ever so many government agencies are concerned with wild life and outside preservation. If Commissioner Beck's group can start the ball a-rolling with their program and if they can secure congressional aid (finan- ciaD they'll accomplish what we have been trying to do for so many years.

Western-Minded Washington

The two great Americans whose birth days we celebrate this month = Lincoln and Washington present interesting contrasts which are in way symbolic of our democracy Lincoln was born to pow erty and the hardships of the frontier. Washingtons people were well-to-do. As a young man he had influential friends and many opportunities. As Lincoln's greatness lay in overcoming obstacles and making opportunities for himself, Wash ingtons lay in fully realizing the oppor- tunities which came to him, not for his own advancement alone but in spirit of service to others ultimately to his country.
 There is an interesting link between the two men. Modern historians have dwelt upon Washington's "western-mindednes Dr Albert Bushnell Hart says of the first President George Washington was the only statesman who addressed himself to the problem of how the settlements of the west were to be retained as part of the United States. He was the conspicuous statesman of his time to realize what was beyond the mountains as homes for future generations of Americans, community fed from the east and part of the nation, union that should straddle the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies." Lincoln was born in that west It is impossible to say what Lincoln's history might have been if Washington's vision of the possibilities of that region had not prevailed.

the hideouts of surviving mem bers.
 Washington, Dec 5-UP)- The justice department today in- vestigated an apparent 'leak" in the Chicago office of its secret in- vestigation division regarding the arrest of Mrs Helen Gillis, widow of Baby Face" Nelson.
 News that Mrs Gillis has been in custody since Thanksgiving day filtered out in Chicago yesterday, to the obvious dismay of depart ment officials here.
 She was held secretly and ques- tioned for days while agents sought to trap the man who was with her and Nelson in last weeks battle at Harrington, H., in which Nelson and two federal agents were killed.
 Even today Attorney-G General Homer Cummings, investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover and oth- CT officials refused to reveal details of the arrest. Likewise they de- clined to comment on reports that the man had been arrested or that he had been identified.
 Cummings said the department was considering charging her with "complicity in murder" because of her presence at the fight in which Nelson and his aide killed Inspec- tor Samuel P. Cowley and special Agent Herman D. Hollis.

Chicago, Dec 5-(UP)-Depart- ment of justice agents holding the young widow of George (Baby face) Nelson gave a semblance of confirmation today to reports they had arrested either John Hamil- ton or Alvni Karpis, both mem' bers of the Dillinger gang.
 Confronted by direct questions, authorities here and in Washington refused to deny that the gunman who fought with Nelson last week in a battle at Harrington, H., in which Nelson and two federal agents were fatally wounded, Is secretly held.
 Agents of the division of investi- gation held Nelson's 21-year-old widow, Mrs Lester Gillis, i've days before revealing her arrest yesterday. Under hours of grilling, it was reported, she disclosed the name of Nelson's accomplice in the staying of Inspector Samuel F. Cowley and Herman B. Hollis.
 Asked whether her information had brought arrest of the man, Attorney General Homer s. Cum mings said:
 1T will neither affirm nor deny that"
 Inspector H. H. Clegg, asked the same question in Chicago, hesitated noticeably before replying:
 You are free to assume what you wish. have no comment"
 Capture of either Karpis or Ham, ilton would be one of the major coups of the year-old campaign in which federal agents andSmidwest- ern police have slain John Dillin- ger, Harry Pierpont, Homer Van Meter, Nelson, and four others of the crew of killers that rallied around a gang of convicts escaped from the Indiana state penitentiary at Michigan City.
 Karpis is a St Paul gunman ac- cused of complicity in the kidnap- ing of Edward Bremen, St Paul banker. Hamilton was 8 leader of the gang in which police say Dil- finger was only a ruthless killer. Reports that he died several months ago of wounds received in a brush with peace officers are discredited by the, federal men.
 Government agents maintained mystery about every phase of Mrs Gills' detention. Arrested at 10 p. m. last Friday, she was held until late yesterday in special detention cells in the ancient Bankers build ing, Chicago headquarters of the department of justice. While hundreds of Chicago and suburban police secured rural and urban highways in response tc various reports that she had beer sighted, relays of government mer questioned her about activities ol the Dillinger gang, the underworld characters who hid them, what be. came of huge amounts of loot and

 The Hill Juniors will hold a re- hearsal tomorrow night and all members of the cast are asked to report at 7:15 o'clock.
 The Washington Park Commun- ity House will be the scene of an important bowling match this eve- ming when Tony the Barber leads his All-Stars against a team led by Chris Harmon. The match is the first in series to decide the championship of the hill and one of the largest crowds to witness Q bowling match at the new allews is expected to see the boys in action tonight. The Barbers will show besides their famous captain, Tony, Abe Unwin, Billy Degnan, Billy Sullivan and Tom Mulligan with "Pinky" Sheehan being held in reserve. The Harmonmen will show Johnny Lawson, Charley and Sonny Brown and Hooker Shea. Dave Hayes, manager of the alleys, has agreed to settle all arguments that arise providing he is able to do so and the odds are five to one in favor of the Barbers.

"Aw, gee. the balloon bird looks forlorn. A big hole in its side is torn," said Duncy. "It's Topped to the ground. All of the air came out.
 "The other bird had lots of gall to spoil my ride and make me fall. I'm glad l wasn't injured. I'm a lucky lad, no doubt"

 And so the two tots worked away and soon the bunch heard Goldy say, "At last the task Is hn- ished, and It really looks just grand"
 The funny bird began 10 rise, when blown to twice Its former size. Hey. catch it," shouted Coppy. Duncy grabbed it by the feet.
 He promptly sailed up in the air, which gave the Tinies quite scare. Poor Duncy yelled, ~Oh, stop me. With an accident m meet"
