COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK. Oct. 3 GN.s).-The
coarse yarn cloths market was gen.
orally steady today, but the volume Of
trading continued at the slow pace Of
recent sessions. Such business as was
put through was at the full market and
it was apparent that mills were deter
mined to hold prices at current levels
Some buyers who had held off all last
week placed moderate business today on
the theory that the decline has about
spent itself and that the chance of get
ting any further concessions is remote.
A little more such buying would be suf-
ficient to establish the market and
could easily start an upward trend.

HueyL Long Awarded a Draw
In Debate With Thomas

NEW YORK, March 3 G.N.S).
Officials Of Madison Square Gar
den today denied they were bid
ding for a return engagement be-
tween Huey P. Long, United States
Senator from Louisiana, and Nor
man Thomas, Socialist leader.
The two engaged in a spirited
debate on the platform Of the
Mecca Temple last night, and at
the conclusion the contest was
called a draw.
The subject of the debate was
Capitalism Is Doomed and Can
not Now be Saved by a Redistribu-
ton of Wealth." with Mr.. Thomas
taking the affirmative. An audi
ence of $500 heard the encounter.
Following are some of the high
lights of the duel.

Streamlined suits will be all the

general athletic effect Of loose

As told to Walter Blrkenbuel. Interna.
tiOnal News Service Special Correspondent
PEOTONE, ILL.,, March 3
UN.S0.-I was fingerprinting in
the receiving room at the jail in
Crown Point, when Sam Calhoun,
the turnkey, called me and told
me to come out. AS I started out
into the hallway, Dillinger stepped
up and stuck gun in my ribs.
It was an automatic pistol.
Dillinger showed me into cell.
He said: "Get in, there" and
gave me a push. First he searched
me, but I didn't have a gun. ]
wasn't afraid.
Calhoun came along, and Dill
niger grabbed him and opened
the cell and showed him in with
me. He went away and came
back in about a minute. He
opened the door and pulled me
out of the cell.
Forced to Call Warden
He kept Calhoun in there. He
said to me:
"CaIl the Warden back here"
I shouted for the warden, Lou
Baker, and Butch Hawk and Her
bert Young. They were in the
office. When they came down
and stepped out into the hall,
Dillinger covered them. He
marched them back to the cell
where Calhoun was, and locked
them in with him.
Then Dillinger took me up to
the office with Herbert Young
blood. He is a negro murderer.
The three of us went up to the
office. Dillinger took a machine
gun, and told Youngblood:
"Come on, quick. Get one Of
those guns there"
Youngblood also grabbed a ma
chine gun. The machine guns
were on a rack in the office.
GuardSmen Locked Up
Just then some guards ap-
peared at the front, a couple of
National uardsme en-. They
walked in and Dillinger covered
them. He marched them back
to another cell, took their side
arms away from them, and locked
them in.
Then Dillinger turned around
and sort of surveyed the scene.
He said to me:
"NOw what the hell are we
going to do?"
He marched me back into the
office where he looked for some
automobile keys. He couldn't
find them.
He still had the gun. We
walked into the garage and
walked right into Edward Saager,
Dillinger said:
'"Where's the fastest car in
this garage"
Saager was cowed by the gun.
He took one look at Dillinger
and said:
Right there"

immediate cause Of today's deep
interest in government Is that
Americans are thinking in broad
terms and in a real national
sense.
Better Than Temporary
He said:
"In the broader problems Of
the Government Of all kinds,
local and State and Federal and
international, we in this coun-
try today are thinking not
merely in terms of the moment,
but in terms that apply to the
rest of our lives and to the lives
of our children.
'It is true that the immediate
cause of this logical and deep
seated interest was a criSis-an
immediate crisis which broke
over our head a year ago. 1t
would have been possible per.
hapS for all of us to have sought
only a temporary cure for the
immediate illness of the ma
ton.
eve can be thankful that We
have studied and are engaged
in the process of eradicating the
deeper causes of that illness
and of many other illnesses of
the body polite"
The President pictured the ma
ton as moving forward toward
governmental improvement. a n d
credited a new e-a of intelligent
interest in Government as tn 0
cause Of this progress.
Praises the School
He congratulated American Uni
versity for its public affairs school,
and declared that it would fill 3
real need in the nation.
He assured the university the
Administration would heartily CO.
operate with the new school in
every way possible.

happy in the announcement Of
the establishment Of this school
Of public affairs"
The Washington times., 1934-03-03

Dillinger seized his sub-machine
gun, dropped his wooden pistol
to the floor, and swung the gun
to cover the entrance to the cell
row where another guard stood.
Threatening death to the
guard if he made a sound or
move, Dillinger liberated the
other prisoners, one of them the
giant Negro.
The three other prisoners made
no attempt to flee after leaving
the Jail, and surrendered to depu-
ties in front Of the jail as soon as
they arrived.
Hundreds of police were mob
ilized and thrown into heavy
blockade in every direction from
Crown Point within half hour
after word had flashed of Dill
linger's escape. The army was
composed of virtually every police
organization in Indiana ana north
ern Illinois.

DISTRICT BILLS
FACE DEATH
IN SENATE
Lack of Committee Quorum
Blocks Action on Many
Controversial Measures

Controversial legislation affect
ing the District of Columbia, over
which the Senate District Commit
tee has charge, probably will fail
to receive congressional approval
at the present session, 1t has be-
come apparent.
Although Senator William H.
King CD of Utah, chairman of
the committee, has called a meet
ing of his group on an average of
about once a week, and has used
all proper methods to get District
legislation expedited, it has been
virtually impossible to get a
quorum to attend the meetings.
The chairman can obtain com
mittee approval of the more or
less non-controversial measures
merely by polling members of the
com mi tee, but approval of
measures to which there is serious
opposition cannot be obtained in
this way.
Such controversial issues as
bills providing for an old-age pen
sion system, for a tax on public
utilities, for establishment of a
municipal airport in washington,
and others probably will not find
their way to the Senate in either
a favorable or unfavorable report.
Since the King bill, to put teeth
in the law prohibiting gambling,
was recommended by the local
district attorney, it is believed
that that measure may be re-
ported by the committee. 1t is
doubtful that it will receive Sen
ate approval.

most controversial problems of the
Seventy.third Congress.
Gag Rule Used
Told by the President that Fed
eral employees should be given
back only 5 per cent Of their
salaries, Democrats passed the
bill under a drastic gag rule
which prevented amendments.
Senators were advised, however,
the President was not adverse to
restoration of two-thirdS OF the
salary cut, so accepted a commit
tee report providing it, and few
minutes later, by motion Of Sena-
tor Pat McCarran CD Of Nevada,
went the whole way and by a vote
of Al to 40 restored salaries to a
predepression level.
When the House received back
the bill, salaries were completely
restored for employees receiving
less than $4,000, and the total ap-
preparation was boosted by 1884,
900, 900, an amount alone larger
than many entire supply bills.
Fearful lest the entire budget
be thrown out of balance, Repre-
sentative Byrns awaited word
from the White House.
But no word came.
The House then invoked an al
most forgotten rule and sent the
bill back to its originating COM
mittee, instead of to conference.
G. o. p. Stands Pat
Republicans meantime are stand
ing solidly behind the Senate
amendments.
Representative Hamilton Fish
(R) of New York, in a radio ad-
dress, charged:
Government employees have
been crucified on a cross Of
economy and initiation"

during the past two months, are

Presidents program. Scores

basis. However, 1 am following

OUTLAW FLEES
COUNTY JAIL
CONTINUED from Page -

Continued from Page ~
just out of Peotone Dillinger
turned on to a country road,
southwark toward Kanakakee.
Sheriffs' forces and police of
towns throughout the Kankakee
River valley were notified and
armed squads raced over the coun-
tryside seeking the two des-
peradoes.
Crown Point and Lake County
authorities had boasted that their
jail was fool proof" Mrs. Lii
liam Holley, Lake County's woman
sheriff, who succeeded her huS-
band to the office when he died,
had said that Dillinger would be
properly guarded upon his return
here from Tucson, Ariz., where
he was captured.
Dillinger'S escape was the Sec
ond Of his career and among the
most spectacular breaks in the
history Of American crime.
Obtaining the machine guns,
Dillinger and his companion, a
giant Negro, cowed the guard and
deputies, forced them into a cell
and backed out of the jailhouse,
locking the doors after them.
At the county jail, it was an
hour before Sheriff Holley was
able to find duplicate keys and
free the imprisoned guards and
deputies and learn full details Of
the escape.
Gun" Carved From Wood
The wooden "pistop' which Dill
linger apparently had carved from
wood in his cell, by hours of la
boriouS knife work, was found in
the warden'S office.
Mrs. Lou Baker, wife of the Jail
keeper, said she encountered Dill
niger ouside the Jail. The deS-
perado told her:
"Be a good little girl and we
won't kill yOu."
Driving north from Crown Point,
Dillinger circled about westward
over gravel roads, then south and
west toward Peotone, Ill.
Guards Unarmed
Dillinger was able to proceed
with his plot with unusual sue
cess because of a Jail rule that
inside guards must not be armed.
Effecting his release from his cell,
Dillinger produced his toy pistol
and managed to cow one OF the
unarmed guards, who subSe-
quentIy opened the killers cell.
1t was then that Dillinger
seized a machine gun and llber-
ated four other prisoners. Dis
arming Deputy Sheriff Blum, he
ordered him to remain with him.
Following this, Dillinger disarmed
Lou Baker, the jailer, and John
Calhoun, a guard, and backed
them into a cell.
Proceeding, then, to the outer
office, where "a guards and depu-
ties were on duty, the desperate
cowed them and marched them
to the cell tier, where he locked
guards and deputies in another
cell.
Calls Out to Guards
Earlier in the jaiihouse, Dill
niger had called out to the guards
and deputies:
Don't move or I'll fill you
full Of lead"
Outside, he singled out a black
police sedan, forced Blunt into
the drivers seat, climbed in be-
side him, and, with his machine
gun, seized in the Jail, poked into
the deputy's side, ordered:
''NOw drive, and drive like
hell"
Early reports Of the jail break,
erroneous because of the hysteria
Of the guards and deputies who
were victimized, said that the
Negro had liberated Dillinger
after walking into the cell house
with q machine gun.
Used Wooden Pistol
What actually happened was
that as a guard approached his
cell about $50 a. M, Dillinger
covered him with what appeared
to be q heavy pistol, and ordeDed
him to open his cell door, under
threats Of immediate death.
