(COnLlnueQ rom rage 1.) and viewed by more than 5000 persons.
 After the curious had been sat- isfied the body was placed in the hearse again and taken to the home of Mrs Audrey Hancock, his sister, at Maywood where she and the elder Dillinger were waiting. Behind a state police car, siren screaming, arrived the hearse. Un- dertakers carried the body into the bungalow. Empty box cars lay on an abandoned railroad siding across the way. A crowd milled in the street. Police kept out in- truders. His Sister Weeps Mrs Hancock waited until the cover had been raised on the cas- ket. Then she buried her face in her arms and was led to the front porch where she sat in the swing beside Mary Kinder. sweetheart of the Dillinger gang. "The last time I saw Johnnie, he had a big smile and said: Don't worry" Mrs Hancock sobbed. Miss Kinder cried too and moaned, "Oh my God. Johnnie" The father had gone to bed ex- hausted from his trying experi- ence. He is 70 years old When Dillinger's body first was placed on view at Mooresville he was lying on slab with wheels, covered only with white sheet.
 His father and other relatives consulted about burial clothes. A Mooresville merchant offered a dark suit.
 "That won't do." the family agreed. I've must bury him in something light"
 An Indianapolis embalmer was told to send down three grey suits. The one chosen was herring bone. The tie was gray with white dots. The collar was starched. Closed to Visitors Doors of the undertaking par Tor were closed to visitors while l.. w. Howell, an expert embalmer brought in from Indianapolis, dressed the body and used cos- metics to cover up ugly facial scars left by the federal mems bullets. The crowd outside increased so rapidly that it was decided to give them another chance to view the body.
 "Some of these people have walked by here at least three times. Don't let them in again" ordered Harvey.
 When the new throng was ad- mitted Dillinger was in his silk lined casket. He looked like wax model of himself. His suit was too large, the sleeves almost hiding his hands. He had on patent leather shoes.
 Mary Kinder fought her way through the crowd, accompanied by her sister and Miss Jessie Levy, Indianapolis attorney anc counsel for three of Dillinger's henchmen Charles Makley, Harry Pierpontt and Russell Clark. Makley and Pierpont are under sentence to die for killing Sheriff Jess Sarber,' when they freed Dillinger from the Lima, O., jail. Clark is under a life sentence on the same charge.
 Miss Kinder cried and sat in a chair to wait for one last look aft- CT the crowd had thinned

SHIELDS AND
 WOOD WON GAMES
(Continued from Page 1.)


 Shields scored three aces to win the opening game of the second set. McGrath counted with two great drop shots to win the sec- ond game.
 Shields, now hitting with full power, broke through McGrath's service to win the third game and stormed the net to take the fourth gaining a lead of games to l.
 McGrath's backhand earned him the sixth game but Shields, whose forehand was flashing the ball furiously, swept the seventh game to lead to 2. He left Me- Grath fiatfoted in scoring three piercing shots to win the eighth game and the second set 6-2.
 Thus the meeting was on even terms, with two victories for each nation as Shields and McGrath be- gan to play, and the victory by the big New York boy gave the Americans the decision, three matches to two.
 Crawford amazed the gallery of approximately 2,000 by his coura- geous stand which enabled him to bring the match even, two sets each, after trailing two sets to none when showers halted play on Tuesday.
 In the first two sets played to- day Crawford sprinted off to lead at 4-Love, and in each case Wood pulled upto trail to 5, only to lose the tenth game. But in the deciding set he made short work of the Anzac.
 With Wood safely over the Crawford hurdle, the burden of the interzone final rested on the shoulders of Frank Shields of New York, and upon those of young Vivian McGrath, the Aussie who upset Wood in Saturdays opening matches.
 The Australians won Saturdays two singles, the Americans cap- tured the one doubles match of Monday, and Woods victory today brought the tie even at two match each. The winner plays Great Britain in the challenge round beginning on Saturday.
 Wood found his game in the final set which he won 6-2 to take the match.
 Play followed service for four  games, both playing superb tennis. Wood found difficulty in the fifth game but saved it with a pair Of forehand drives down the sidelines. He had the crowd cheering when the sixth to lead at games to g. Wood was now playing like a mad man. He held his service in the seventh game to lead to 2. Sid- ney was making winners out or even the most severe returns. The crowd was almost hystericak
 Crawford wasn't yet through, however. Four times Wood was at match point inthe eighth game an deach time Crawford stayed off the impending defeat. Finally Wood brought off a backhand pass ing shot which Jack k-couldn't touch and he threw his racquet into tho

Sheldon is allowed $500 per month for his services as receiver and Bronson, Lewis and Bronson, counsel for the receiver, $1,000 per month. Since both have received payments on account the receiver, MT Sheldon will re- ceive $6,5O0 and Bronson, Lewis & Bronson. $15,000.

 Several years ago, the company was purchased under the firm name of BeardsIey & Wolcott which continued the successful op- eration of the company until dif- faculties were encountered over a year and a half ago.
 When the receiyership proceed ings were instituted. 1t was called to the courts attention that there were considerable orders for cleo rical apparatus to be filled and that the employees working at the plant were willing to work on a shara ble basis of the profits until the prob lems were worked out.
 As the receivership continued, it was brought to the courts atten- tion that negotiations were under way for a loan from the Recon struction Finance Corp. A reorgan- ization plan wherein the large creditors of the company would set up trusteeship and take over the operation of the company with the aid of the loan from the REC was then advanced.
 Under an order of the court that plan has been vacated. It was stated that REC was willing to advance $60,O00 under the plan put to 1t. but it was felt this sum was not sufficient to carry through the re- organization plan.
 Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor and Back Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile appeared at the hearing in the interests of the city of Waterbury. Attorney Richardson T.

 will mean the first time that such
 a situation came about in Water-
 bury.
 r Chairman Crary said today it all ways has been the custom to hold
 primaries first and then conven- lions a week or so later. It was the custom also, MT Crary said, to elect delegates to the state convention, olaly. and leave the selection or delegates to the other conventions until after the state convention:
 F For instance, this year the state eonyention Is to be held at Groton. Primaries would be held for choos- ing delegates who, at convention af Waterbury, would select dele gates to represent Waterbury at the Groton convention. After the state convention at Groton, 1t has been the practice to Sall the other conventions, namely consressional, senatorial. probate, town and shrievality. Those con- Ventions usually were not held un- {iI later in September or october. If it is the meaning or the state central committees action that all those conventions be held on the came day, that is.

 Italy already has given the Hit Ter government plain warning against Nazi interference in Aus tria, intimating that the terror campaign has been aided from Germany.
 The government recently decided to defer a formal protest until Dollfuss and Mussolini meet at Riccione, scheduled for Friday. It is now doubtful that, Dollfuss wil be able to leave Vienna.
 It is believed the protest will be of the most urgent character. Mussolini is already at Riccione in constant touch by. telephone with events in Austria.

admits the getting away from
home. Beir4 on ones own, away
from the routine demands of par
|ents, has a broadening effect that
should not be minimized. Indeed,
the camp is truly an educational
institution in every sense of the
word. 1t brings out the best and
the worst in child nature, but with
out stopping there, it makes the
best appear worthwhile and it
shows up the worst as something
to be conquered.
Parents needn't worry over the
safety of children at camp. Every
thing possible is done to insure the
maximum protection against acct
dent and disease. AS a rule only
the best food supplies are pur-
chased, and the meals are usually
balanced, well-prepared, and ample
in amount. A modern summer
camp is indeed a good investment
in health, character, personality,
and social development. 1t makes
q distinct contribution which
neither the home MOI the school can
quite equal.

Cleveland. O.-More than a mil
lion railroaders are jubilant over
d 100000 monthly increase in
their pay envelopes and executive

retire at least 100000 of their
number on pensions this year.
The wage increase, affecting L.
100000 men employed on the ma
tons carriers in every capacity ex-
cept executive. constitutes a two
and one-half per cent salary restor-
alton provided in an agreement
reached between labor and manage
ment April 26.
\ Next January l, the railroaders
will receive another two and one-
half per cent. and On April 1. 1885.
the remaining five per cent of the
original 10 per cent pay cut of
TWO years ago Will be restored.
In addition, the last step in max
ing a nationwide . pension insur-
ance system effective was taken
when President Roosevelt signed
legislation enacted by congress at

piece of railroad legislation since
