DILLINGER'S BRAIN

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3.-The secret Of
what happened to John Dillinger's
brain was uncovered yesterday. 1t
was removed from his body and subse-
quently destroyed in the course of
microscopic examination. DR.. Jerry
Kearns Of the Cook County coroner'S
staff disclosed.
The information came shortly after
John Dillinger, ST., the dead bandit S
father, announced at Indianapolis
that he had decided not to disinter
the body TO check up on the missing
part. He said he realized the removal
was not for malicious purposes and
that it was made in the hope its study
might add TO scientific knowledge
and thereby be an aid to mankind"
DR.. Kearns said the brain had been
taken out during the autopsy after
the outlaw had been slain. DR.. Clar-
ence w. Muehlbe-ger, toxicologist for
the coroner, was given two-thirds for
his tests. The other third. said Dr.
Kearns, was analyzed.
The examination disclosed that Dill
linger was sober and not under the
influence of drugs when shot, said
DR.. Muehlberger.

JOHNSON ASSA|LS
CRITICAL WRITERS
GarbIing, SuppreSSing and
CoIoring News Charged
in Chicago Talk.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3.-Hugh s,
johnson has struck back at news
paper critics of the industrial recoy-
cry act.
Referring to his critics as "aca-
demic mercenaries who write for a
controlled and dominated press" the
N. r. A. administrator accused them
of garbling, suppresSing and coloring
news, in an address celebrating N. r.
A. day at A Century Of Progress last
night.
It protest" he said, that it Is not
freedom of the press to suppress or
garble important news of public af-
fairs which happens not to be in ac-
cord with some editorial policy or
opinion"
Appeal Only Recourse.
"The only recourse I know. Is an
appeal to the press itself" johnson
said. Il wish they would submit a
code containing provisions which
would leave elimination Of such prac-
tices to their own self-governing
bodies"
Thousands Of persons jammed into
the Lagoon Theater and nearby to
hear his booming words The address
reached a wider audience by radio
over a Nationwide network.
The general credited recovery
measures with pulling this Nation
from the depression at q more rapid
rate than any other country has
achieved.
BOrah Too Far Away.
Some earnest and sincere critics
such as Senator Borah say we could
do all that N. r. A. has done and
still have antitrust acts" he said
The great Idaho Senator has OBJ
served our work at too great a dis
tance."
1T was under the antitrust acts
that, during the depression, there oc-
CURED the greatest mortality among
the little fellows in this or any other
country-and it was because CT these
acts"
The slaughter stopped under N.
r. A. and it stopped because of N.
r. A. Monopoly is created by cut
throat price cutting and harsh trade
practices. The antitrust acts per-
mitted both. The N. r. A. forbids
both"
In his second address Of the day here
the general asserted 1t was "ridicu-
lous" to charge the present admins
tration with debasement Of the cur
rency, violation of the Constitution,
lsurping Congress and plunging the
Nation toward destruction of Ameri-
can institutions.
Roosevelt Dollar Best.
The Roosevelt dollar, he asserted,
will be by all odds the best and
strongest dollar on earth"
Wages, he said, had taken a decided
upshoot from the time President
Roosevelt took office.
1T was said some time ago that
recovery in other countries has been
more rapid than here" he said, but
q study by the wholly impartial Lon
don economists exploded that. 1t
concerned real wages-that is, the
purchasing power Of workers wages
it covered France, England, Germany
and Italy. The showing was aston
ishing. 1t proved that in all other
industrial countries the trend re-
manned slowly downward, but in our
country from the very day Of the
passage of the recovery act the curve
started upward and has never de-
clined."

ment yesterday denied that any ex-
tensive property settlement had been

divorce any settlement has been made
by Mr.. WHY'S for the benefit of my
daughter. l asked him to make
some provision for her in view Of the
divorce, but he declined.
II asked for no alimony and re-
ceived none, and no settlement was
made upon me. Outside of $4,000
to care for certain immediate flnan-
cial necessities and outside of his
repayment of q small loan made at
his request. nothing whatever was
paid to me-"

for the statement about settlement
with my former wife.
There was no necessity for any
settlement at this time as I have
very amply provided for her in past
years, income from which will more
than take care Of her for the rest
of her life.

WHOLESALE PRICES
TOUCH NEW HIGH
July Brings Peak for Year,
Although Business Gen.
orally Declines.

Wholesale prices reached new high
for the year in July, but manufactur-
ing activity slumped, and pay rolls
and factory employment both fell of
In June. according to the monthly
Survey of Current Business, issued
today by the Department of Com
merce.
The survey is a digest of 1900 tables
of business statistics compiled by
Government agencies and private
business.

moderately during June from the
Spring peak, and the downward trend
continued through the first three
weeks of July, according to the survey.
The index for wholesale prices
reached 75.l for the week Of July 81
For June it stood at TAG, which
represented a steady rise from SIS in
June. 1888. This new high mark is
attributed largely to substantial gains
made by farm prices.
Industry Drop Unusual.
The drop in manufacturing activity
in June was larger than the usual
seasonal change, the report stated,
receding points to 81 per cent of the
1923-25 average
This decrease was held responsible
for the decline in employment. which
dropped less than per cent, and also
for the cut in factory pay rolls--a drop
Of 81 per cent.
Freight car loadings showed some
Improvement. Exports picked up
slightly, but imports dropped more
than the usual seasonal change.
Retail prices. exclusive of foods, de-
clined fractionally in June for the
third consecutive month. reaching 88.2
per cent of the January, 1881, level.
Food Prices Advance.
Retail food prices, however, con-
tinued to increase, advancing from
le45 per cent Of the 1913 level to
1895 at the end of the two-week
period ended July 8.
FOR non-manu1acturlng employment,
IL industries reported slight increases
in the number of jobs in June, and 9
reported corresponding gains in their
pay rolls. These changes, however,
were small. In the largest single nom
manufacturing group-retail trade
there were decreases in both employ
ment and pay rolls.

NEW YORK, August 3.-Herbert
Hoover cared not "a continental
and did not turn a hand" for
his denomination in 1892, writes one
of his White House secretaries, Theo-
dore Joslin, in the current issue of
Red Book Magazine.
Styled Hoover OF the Record, "
the article opened with Joslin's state
ment:
THE silence of Herbert Hoover was
ofttimes the cause of trouble.
The people neither understood the
rising forces of destruction nor were
cogniZant of the tireless and cease
less efforts he was making in their
behalf.
Critical Times for Nation.
There were times so critical that
had Mr.. Hoover publicized the ap-
preaching trouble it might have
pushed the Nation over the precipice,
to use his own words. Equally GER
tain, there were times when he should
have talked, but did not. When urged
by me on one particular occasion
to dramatic what he was doing, he
said gravely:
This is not a showman's job
I will not step out of character >"
Concerning the days leading up To
the 1882 Chicago convention, Joslin
wrote, that at the Rapidan Camp
one day Mr.. Hoover declared that
three and one-half years would
satisfy me" in the presidency, adding
In the early part of 1882, familiar
with the rumblings in some States

incidentally do q little missionary

What disturbed the President most
at that time, JoSlin wrote, was that
Congress was frittering away the
valuable time.
This job he exclaimed with dis.
