|ONE OF VICTIMS IN NSULLCRASH
 EUNDER ARREST
Bank EmplOye Is Caught After Two YearsBad Luck Hit Him

Chicago, Nov. 12.-(UP)-Twen- tyo yards from the crowded court room where Samual Insult is being tried on charges of swindling 300, ~ 900 investors of $143, 100000 prep arations were made today to wipe off court books one of ti1e strangesl tragedies resulting from the 1952i crash of the utility executive billion dollar empire.
 Chief character in the bylaw of the Insull drama was Nicholas Schwall, little man who thought like thousands of others that Sam uel Insults name behind 8 stock issue was 8 guarantee of quick and
 easy money. Schwall gambled $56,- 900 of his banks money on his con- viction and lost.
 Federal agents and bank re- ceiver's attorney found Schwall last week in a Wisconsin north woods hovel where for two years he had led the life of a Robinson Crusoe.
 He cried when they slipped hand cuffs over the calloused hands
 which used to weild nothing heavier than a pen, but he seemed genuinely relieved by arrest. In a Waukegan cell he learned
 his 74-year-oId mother died last May calling his name. He learned that his 2-year-old daughter. unborn when he fled in 1892, is seriously i'll and that he may never see her. He heard that his wife, still loyal. is too i'll to visit his cell.
 He sobbed continually today as he awaited his summons to court.
 The banks receiver planned to ask leniency for him in return for his aid in strengthening out tangled affairs of the closed institution.

Priest Proposes New
 Social Justice Union
Rev Charles E. COughIin in Radio Broadcast Outlines Movement to Offset Revolution or Communism

Detroit, Nov. 12-(UP)-Volun. fary enrolment in Nusj--a nation. al union for social justice''--in. spired by the Rev. Charles F Cough1in, radio priest, was begun today. Father Coughlin, pastor of the Shrine of the Little Flower issued a new call to arms in an Armistice day address. The union he said, will be voluntary. If suc- cessful, the priest declared, the Must will be "a living, vibrant, united, active organization superior to political parties in principle and Independent of them in power. The group will work toward ob- taining the constitutional guaran- tees of social justice, as well as helping destroy unconstitutional causes of depression, he said.
 Principles of the union, as set forth by Father Coughlin, were:
 A just annual wage, in line witt, American standards of decency; naturalization of banking, credit and currency, power, light and all other resources ''too important for private ownership; abolishment of the federal reserve system in fa- vor of a government-owned central bank; government support of labor unions and abolition of tax-exempt bonds.
 This is the new call to arms," the priest declared, e. not to be- come cannon fodder for the greedy system of an outworn capitalism nor factory fodder for the slave whip of communism. This is the new call to arms for the establish ment of social justice"
 Alluding to "the signal political victory of the New Dear' in last weeks election, Father Coughlin reminded that the new admins tration still is undergoing a test.
 Although the old republican party with it's rugged individualism is as dead as Benedict Arnold" he said, nevertheless it is true that the democratic party now com posed both of progressive men and women of all political affiliations is merely on trial"
 The government must recognize pie that social rights outweigh all political and "so-called constitu- tional rights; and must throw out the unconstitutional or 'produc- tion for profit principle, he said.
 Unless social justice is forthcom- Ing, he said, the nation must face revolution, a general dole sys- tenn or communism, and the latter lis nothing more than a candied pill of glorified doleism.'

|KAMINISKI BACK IN PRISON CELL

Springfield, Mass. Nov. 12-CUP) Back in his. cell after his sec ond jail break, Alexander Kamin- ski. young Connecticut despera do facing the electric chair for slay- ing a guard, confidently predicted today that he would escape again. His chances were dimmed to some extent, however, when guards dis covered two siX-inch hacksaw blades and pieces of four other blades sewed between the soles of his shoes.
 This discovery was made soon after kaminski was returned here from Albany, N. Y., where he Was recaptured Saturday after 52 days of freedom. His arrest resulted when he tried to reclaim luggage left on bus. The bag contained burglar tools, a revolver and $353 in cash. Authorities had theorized that Kaminskfs Jail break was an inside job. This belief was strengthened when the prisoners, describing bis getaway, said ho had been able to devote two days to saving the bars of his cell. kamin- ski will be sentenced to death shortly for murdering a guard in a previous escape from the Jail.

CHILDREN'S DRESS
 AFFECTS HEALTH
Clothing Must Be Varied to Meet Shifting N. E.
 Temperature

Important to the child's health in the ever shifting temperatures of the southern New England eli mate Is the parents task of see ing that the amount of clothing he wears is varied to meet those con. tinuous changes, for his health may be affected as greatly by toe much clothing in mild weather as by too few garments in severe weather. the state department ot health cautioned in it's weekly bull letin today. The clothes necessary to be comfortable one day may be- come murdensome within the next 24 hours.
 The child's clothing is important both day and night. Whereas the best plan in the summer is to have the child wear as few clothes as possible, sleeping in extreme weather in thin nightwear without bed clothes over him, the entire situation must be altered in the winter, the bulletin said. It is a habit of every growing child to toss and turn in bed, so in order that he will not uncover himself in extremely cold weather the use Of one?-piece sleeping suit, or, for the very young child. a sleeping bag is advised. The child will thus have complete freedom of his arms and legs, and still not be subjected to the cold:
 In the daytime, the sweater which a child wears beneath his overcoat on extremely cold days should be left off when the temper ature rises, since keeping on the same amount of clothing during mild periods would overheat his body with the result that he would not only be uncomfortable but would be far more apt to contract hevay cold.
 On the other hand, additional clothing during the day and extra bed covers at night should be pro- .vided when col dsnaps set in, for prolonger chilling of the surface of the body lowers it's resistance This may result in disturbances ot the nasal mucuous membranes which will affect the child through out life in the for moi sinus trou. ble or bronchitis. Thus every care should betaken to dress children according to the weather both day and night, the bulletin concluded

MUSSOLINI GOES AFTER IDLE RICH
 UNDER NEW PLAN
Compulsory Work for All Able=BOdied Italians Is
 His Proposal
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN Copyright 1884 By United Pressl

Rome, Nov 12- U.P.)-Com- pulsory work for all able bodied Italians. including the scions of the glamorous ancient families whose forbearers have made history, will be a part of the new cooperative state program, it was learned to- day. Work as 8 social duty for every one is the ideal. The pro- gram is regarded here as no less drastic a reform than the econo- mic parliament, the council of cor porations in which capitol and la bor are represented equally and which in future is to be the equiv alent of the present chamber of deputies. Premier Benito Mussolini made the announcement of the compulsory work program in his speech Saturday inaugurating the council of corporations. It was not emphasized at that time.
 Mussolini said: The Fascist rev. volution maintains the principle of equality of all individuals before the state, and it adds another one: the equality of all individuals re- garding work as a social duty" It means the searching out of a some- what large leisure class and the in- sistence that its members go to work. The work program will prin- cipally strike the old landed aristo- cracy, which has for centuries liv- ed in the worlds capitals while its lands have been developed at home by hired administrators.
 Like the program for the new cooperative state, the work-for-all idea is the development of years o1 study. As far back as 1925, Musso- lini attacked the aristocracy fol %oafing around in the de luxe ho- tels when they are needed in the colonization of the Italian terri tories in Africa" In line with the social evolution of the Fascist era, members of a number of the old aristocratic families have gone into industry or have stayed at home to administer their estates. But there are those who have followed the old custom of stunning work and living the so-called gentleman's life. and they have reused Musso- lini' anger.
