WATCH SCHEMES

The Morganton News-Herald carried the follow
ing timely warning last week under the heading,
ga Warming Against Schemes" 1t is timely and
we pass it on to our readers:
The News-Herad, in all sincerity, to save lot
of people from themselves, raises red flag of
danger and warning to those who disposed to
grab at every scheme, smooth plan, to make quick
money, and are generally caught in fleeing
game, the sole purpose of which is to fitch from
the unsuspecting their hard-earned dollars.
The old proverbs have it, Beware of the Greeks
bealSns gifts" and Beware of the geese when the
fox breaches" Beware of all schemes to make
money quick. Make inquiries about the reliability
of all stocks, and other things before you invest
All that gtters is not gold. 1t is better to inform
yourself, and keep your eyes open, rather than
invest in everything that is offered you, and be
sorry afterward See if the travelling statesmen are
licensed. Reliable information on all these schemes
is being forearmed for the likelihood of losing
your money. You cannot be too cautious about
things offered you by strangers.

WAR ON CRIME
IS UNDER WAY
Capture of Dillinger First
Goal; Nations Crime Bill
Runs Into Millions
Bv JULIUS FRANDSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July IA. (UP)
The federal government was to-
day advancing to the firing line
in an intensive offensive to smash
organized crime.
With 100000 of new funds,
new anti-crime laws, and new de-
termination, the department of
justice is quietly mobilizing
brains, Drawn and modern weap-
ons for a long-term campaign
against gangsters, racketeers, kid
napers and bank robbers who
have flouted state authorities.
Capture of John Dillinger and
his remaining lieutenants is the
first objective. His killing and pill
laying have made him the symbol
of the lawless element the gov
eminent is determined to wipe
out.
Officials are confident they will
get him. Then they will go on
to dispose of other rowing des-
peradoes.
In the background the kidnap-
killers of the Lindbergh baby re-
main to be captured. The depart
ment has never relaxed in this
man-hunt, and never will.
The department has a force of
slightly more than 400 secret
agents in the field-one of the
most highly trained groups of
reinforcement officers in the
world-and it is being increased
to more than 600.
The agents are being supplied
with the most deadly arms money
can buy.

NEW YORK, June 8.-Mexican
Email order" divorces received
short shrift from Surrogate Win
gate, in Brooklyn, as he revoked
letters Of administration granted
to DR.. Harry Schulz, Brooklyn
dentist. He declared:
"The impression appears to
prevail that marriage Is no
more than a coat that can be
shed at the caprice Of the
Wearer when it no longer suits
his fancy. Such is not, and
never has been, the law in this
State"
The revocation was asked by
the parents of the doctors second
wife, Ruth Morrison, who died
last March. They said DR.. Schultz
could not be her husband because
his divorce from his first wife
was obtained in Mexico and was
not legal here.

NRA ABANDONS
PR|CE-F|X|NG
POLICY
(CopyriRht, 1884, Universal
Service, Incl

The NRA yesterday abandoned
attempts to fix commodity prices
and launched a series Of other
highly significant changes in the
recovery drive.
The new program decided on
by Gen. Hugh s. johnson to be
carried out through the codes,
includes:
/. Uniformity Of wages and
hours in competing industries.
2. Uniform classification Of
areas for purposes Of wage diff
ferentials.
3. Adequate labor and con-
gumer representation on code
authorities.
4. A revised program to in
sure honest financing Of code
authorities.
VICTORY FOR BARROW
Elimination Of the price-fixing
provisions from the $50 codes now
in effect, as well as future drafts
follows denunciation Of the policy
from the Darrow Recovery Review
Board and the Federal Trade
Commission.
BY its action, the MIRA virtually
admitted the impossibility of en-
forcing. rules that goods shall moi
be sold below stated prices.
Exceptions to the minimum
price abandonment will be made
the NRA said:
TN emergencies which make
such action necessary to halt
destructive price cutting, pro-
Gect small enterprises, curb
m0nOpOliStic tendencies or main
tain code wages and working
conditions"
The move will greatly simplify
enforcement as it reduces most
codes to the fundamentals Of mini
mum wages, maximum hours, ano
elimination Of the Sweatshop AND
child labor.
Pressure is also being brought
by the NRA to further its "Ter
and Ten" campaign, which seeks
reductions Of hours and increases
In wages by 10 per cent.
Model Sought
Another provision Of the MIRA
price order yesterday is to encour
age the inclusion of model cost
finding and accounting provisions
but these will not be obligatory.
Effort will be made to discour
age uniform additions through
percentages or for various cost
factors.

A fall from the third-story win dow of his home at AT East Main street at o'clock this afternoon resulted in possible fractured skull for Maurice Normandin, five year old boy. Bleeding profusely from the ears and. nose, the lad, though still conscious, was rushed to St Mary's hospital.
 The child, picked up by passers- by after the fall, was taken to the office of Dr T. J. McLarney on Cherry street. After a cursory ex- animation, the doctor decided that the child needed immediate hospi- tai treatment and he was rushed to St Marys hospital.
 The hospital, at press time this afternoon, had no complete details whether the boy fell into the yard or onto the sidewalk along East Main street. He has not yet been placed on the danger list at the hospital, pending disclosure of certain fractured skull.
 According to incomplete &C., counts of the mishap, the child was playing at his home while his mother was busy elsewhere. Los ing his. balance at the windowsill, he tumbled out landing with a terrific impact three stories below.
 Another juvenile accident victim was at Waterbury hospital this afternoon, Frank Bartkus, son of MT and Mrs Aungust Bartkus of 5S Chambers street. The lad suf- fered a broken wrist when he fell from a tree near his home. He is 12 wears old,

Philadelphia, July 24.-UP)- The motion picture boycott de- clared by Dennis Cardinal Dough erty was ''in full accord with the traditions of all that is best in the history of the American people, Bishop Gerald P. O'Hara. of the Philadelphia diocese, said to-day Tn a statement.
 Bishop O'Hara's staetment was in reply to part of a speech at Burbank. Cal, by Harry NJ. War ner, motion picture producer Warner was quoted as saying:
 The edict issued by the car dinal in Philadelphia making it a sin to go to the theater, is un- Amercan, because it endangers the livelihood of many people"
 The statement to-day said that had Warner read the cardinals letter which was sent to the clergy of the archdiocese he would not have received such an impression
 "This letter makes it quite plain that the signing of the pledge of the Legion of Decency is volun- tary.'' Bishop O'Hara's statement said.
 Cardinal Dougherty, however further stated: Since a very large proportion of the present screen plays are dangerous to faith and morals. they are a proximate oc- casion of sin, and as such must be avoided at any cost. To stay away from them, therefore, is not mere. ly counsel but a positive com mand. binding all in conscience under pain of sim"

 Chicago, July 24-CUP)-John Dillinger was trapped by woman torn between conflicting emotions of loyalty to the man who support- ed her, on the one hand, and fear, jealousy and the lust for money on the other.
 The mysterious woman in red who had lived with Dillinger dur ing several weeks of his wild flight from the law. met the outlaw in a Calumet City. Illinois saloon and went away with him to escape the sordid life of lady at the bar.
 A corner of the veil of censor- ship that covered activities in the Dillinger hunt was lifted today and l. revealed that Dillinger never sus-s pected that death was closing in upon him until the bullet of a fed eral agent burned through the back of his head.
 Dillinger's activities for the last three weeks of his daring career were disclosed today.
 The gang, chief, it was learned, went from his favorite haunts in northern Indiana and south Chi- cago to Rhinelander, Wis. about July 8. accompanied by the 'wo- man in red" whose acquaintance he had made in Calumet City.

By JULIUS FRANDSEN United Press Staff Corresnondentl

(Cnited Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington. July 24.-UP)- A trigger nervous runt, George (Baby Face) Nelson, is the most hunted man in America today.
 He was John Dillinger's machine gunner. When Dillinger fell be- fore the fire of Federal agents, Nelson became No. 1 on the gov ernment's list of public enemies.
 Only 25 years old and barely over feet tall, Nelson is described by Federal authorities as an even more ruthless and cold blooded killer than Dillinger. He is the only outlaw who now bears on his head a federal reward.
 Department of Justice agents are out to kill Nelson on sight. He is the man who shot down Federal agent w. Carter Baum in the April 2S raid on Dillinger's Little Bo- hemia, Wis, hideout. Baum's comrades have vowed vengeance.
 Two Others on List
 Close behind Nelson on the gov ernment's "wonted" list are John Hamilton and Homer Van Meter. only other members of the Dillin- ger gang at large. Upwards of dozen killings are charged to the band. Nelson and Hamilton pulled the trigger in a majority of them,
 High on the list too are Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, Oklahoma desperado, and Richard Galatas. both wanted in connection with the Kansas City Union station Mas sacre of June IT. 1883.
