Police believed today they had a
witness who heard the dying
screams of pretty Louise Jeppsen
when she was attacked and CARROT
ed in Golden Gate park early last
Sunday morning.
The story of c. A. Nieborger, a
milk company e>Tloyee, was con-
sidered significant in fixing the ap-
proximate time of the death Of the
% year old Ogden, Utah, girl.
The story, however, in no way
connected Millard Hickman. ship
ping company executive or any
other person with the crime. Hick-
man is under an Indictment charg-
ing murder in the death of his
drinking party companion.
Nieborger said he arose Sunday at
about 3:15 a. m. and, after break
fasting, went to the corner of 34th
avenue and Lincoln Way to board a
trolley car. The car arrived a Jew
minutes before a. m.
At approximately that moment:
the milkman said he heard "blood-
curdling" screams from the park.
He fixed the direction of the sound
as north of where he stood. He paid
little attention to the incident until
his attention was directed to the
discovery of Miss Jeppesen's body

(By United Press

Political upheaval in the troubled
Balkans today resulted in the es-
tabliShment of a strong hand
government to supplant the parlia-
mentary regime that has ruled un-
der King Boris III.
Troops took charge of Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital, while the 40
year-old monarch appointed the
country'S first parliamentary
government, presumably at the de-
mand of dissatisfied army leaders.
During the immediate transition,
communication between Sofia and
the outside world was interrupted.
and wild rumors spread over CEN
trail Europe concerning the Bulgar-
ian situation.
One such rumor, which reached
Vienna, said that the royal family
had been bombed
With establishment of commu-
nication, it was indicated that the
change of government had been ef-
fected without violence and that the
troops had been withdrawn from
the streets of Sofia.
Dispatches said that Kimon
Gheorgieff, former minister of
transport, had been named premier
in the new cabinet, with Peter Md
left, and Petko Zlateff, army gen.
| erals, included in the cabinet.
Army leaders in the Bulgarian
| capital have been restive and dis
gruntled for weeks and it was un-
derstood that their demand for a
new and stronger form of govern
ment resulted in the change.
Railway bombings were reported
from II different sections of Aus
tria. The bombers took precautions
against wrecking trains and Aus
trian authorities expressed the opin-
ion they were Nazi railway workers.
A sentiment for dictatorial gov
ernment in Bulgaria has been brew

Ogden L. Mills, spokesman for Re-
publican antagonists of the new
deal, today called upon the youth of
his party to repudiate the trends
toward control of industry and le-
gimentation of the public" which,
he declared, underlie the Roosevelt
program.
In a speech before the state asso-
citation of Young Republican clubs,
Mills said that "if the process now
under way is permitted to continue
unchallenged American institutions
and civilization are in greater dan
! ger than at any time since une
founding of the republic"
Recommendation" he argued,
means retrogreSsion, not progress,
and the sacrifice of some of the
most precious rights this country
was founded to uphold and pre-
serve. 1 am convinced that the pre-

FLINT, Mich, May 10. U.P)-
Probably laughing again at leg
ion of officers racing up and
down highways Of three states, a
bandit identified as John Dillin-
ger had escaped again today after
robbing a bank of $4,000 and
eluding pursuers who used a hun
dred fast cars, radio and airplanes
in their chase.
In typical Dillinger fashion, three
men swarmed into the Glenwood
Avenue Branch of the Citizens
and Commercial Savings bank
leaving two other men and a wom-
an in an automobile, and escaped
with all the cash in sight before
police could answer an alarm from
station two miles distant.
The bandits, striking a few min
utes after 100000 in payroll money
had been delivered to the branch
missed $4,000 in cash which had
been put out of sight.
State police Of Michigan, Ohio
and Indiana, ready for weeks for
such an emergency, threw elaborate
barriers into action. Every road
to the south was watched. Michigan
police guarded the only escape
north-the ferry over the straits
of Mackinac.
The robbers showed brazenly
through a police net spread about
the neighborhood after police had
been tipped that nearby stores were
marked" for banditry.
Kirk Roland, cigar store proprl-
etor who was at a teller's window
was first accosted by the robber
leader. He said he was ready tc
swear that Dillinger handled the

He forced me to lie on the floor,

cled back into Flint, police also
concentrated in the downtown dis
trict. Outside the city three cord

Scott Foulds, conciliation COM

how farmers facing foreclosure can
file petition with the federal judge
and thereby secure delay of ex-
ecution for 90 days for further time

their creditors.
He further stated that unless
the farmer could obtain either a

two agencies available, it was little
use for him to file for this 80
days stay of execution.
Golden Fine, representing the
federal land bank, explained the
policy of the land bank in making
loans in this district and answered
numerous questions asked by those
in attendance.
Foulds also discussed the ques-
ton of appraisals with Fine, stat
ing that the banks appraisals were
too low in some instances and for
that reason no adjustment coulo
be made since in many instances
the creditors could sell the property
for cash for more than the ap-
