BIZ United Press
CORNING, N. Y. March Is
Officials of the Corning Glass Works
confirmed today that the 200-inch
telescope lens ordered for the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology would
be poured March 25.
Several hundred scientists, news
paper men and photographers will
witness the pouring of the lens, to
be the largest in the world. A spe-
cial platform has been constructed
above the seventeen-foot mold.
1t will be almost three years be-
fore the lens will be ready for use
in the telescope, which will be al
most twice as large as any existing
today.
1t will take ten hours to fill the
mold with the liquid glass, then a
ten-month careful cooling process
and the lens will be ready to be
shipped to Pasadena by special train
for grinding, which will take ap-
proximately two years.
Twenty tons of special pyrex boro-
silicate glass will be used.

For a time he was free-then
came inevitable capture, and the
gallows.
No gang ever was harder to cap
ture or to hold when captured than
the Whittemore gang. Richard
Reese Whittemore, its leader, ran
away from reform school twice when
he was only a boy.
He became a professional Grim
inal, and first escaped the laws
clutches when serving fifteen years
for robbery in Baltimore. He leaped
savagely on a guard, killed him with
a piece Of iron pipe concealed in
his shirt, stole his keys, and with
them gained freedom.

Indiana Desperate Takes
Rank With Chapman,
Whittemore and Other
Notorious FugitiveS.

By NEA Service
How do they do it?
How can a man make his escape,
when captive and seemingly help
less, surrounded by all safeguards
human ingenuity can devise?
1t doesn't seem possible, yet it
happens again and again. The au-
dacious break" Of John Dillinger
cold blooded murderer and known
enemy of society, from an escape
proof" jail and determined guards,
once more proves what crafty, des-
perate criminals have proved again
and again: No jail can be better
than its guards, and guards are
only human.
Dillinger is heir to a long line
of slippery gentry who proved al
most impossible to hold despite
every precaution. 1t was Dillinger,
it is believed, who smuggled pistols
to Hamilton, Pierpont, Clark and
Makley, his henchmen, which en-
abled them to escape from the
Michigan City Gnd) penitentiary.
Murdered Sheriff After Break
Confronting the superintendent OF
the shirt factory with the pistols
they forced him and Assistant War
den Evans to walk ahead of them
while they carried their pistols con-
cealed in piles of shirts as though
engaged in routine work.
In this way they passed guards
and gates.
Suddenly, the four appeared at
Lima, O., and walked boldly into the
office of Sheriff Jess Sarber, who
was holding their leader, Dillinger
arrested the day before their break
from Michigan City
When Sarber did not fall for their
bluff that they had come from
Michigan City to transfer Dillinger
there, they shot Sarber, overawed
deputies with their guns, found the
keys to release Dillinger, and were
gone.
Chapman One of Slipperiest
Dillinger's audacious escape from
the Crown Point IndO Jail, when
he cowed guards with a wooden
pistol which he had whitfield out,
puts him in the front rank of jail
breakers.
Gerald Chapman, mail robber,
safe blower and murderer, was one
of the slipperiest. Like DilIinger,
he boosted that no Jail COULD hold
him. Like Dillinger, he got away
with it-for a time.
When the law caught up with
Chapman for his mail robberies,
inspectors were questioning him in
the New York poStoffice in a room
on the third floor.
Again Makes Getaway
Distracting their attention, Chap
man leaped to a window, and ap-
parently stepped out into thin air
for a seventy five-foot drop to
death. But in reality he chung
perilously to a narrow wet stone
coping, wormed his way along it.,
and into an open window of an
other office. He was caught there.
Convicted Chapman was sent to
Atlanta. Within a few months he
faxed a sore throat by drinking dis
infectant, and was sent to the hos
pital.
That was his chance. With a
confederate, he overpowered a guard,
sawed through a barred window,

INDIANS Wall
AT REQUIEM OF
BELOVED CHIEF
TribeSmen Chant MournfuI
DirgeS as Two Guns Is
Laid to Rest.

| BIZ United Press
BROWNING, Mont, March 15.-
Unceasing walls of withered squaws
today told Of the great sorrow which
had come over the land of the
Blackfeet.
They have buried Chief Two
Guns White Calf, son of White
Calf, last recognized chieftain of the
powerful warlike tribal federation.
1t was a strange ceremonial &C
corded the man whose stern fea-
lures on the familiar buffalo
nickel symbolic the American
Indian to millions throughout the
nation.
Two-Guns fought his last battle
with inf1uenza-and lost. Fervent
prayers to "NatoS," great sun god:
all the wiles of wrinkled medicine
men; the rarest of Blackfeet herbs;
and, finally, the skill of modern
physicians failed to save the once
mighty warrior.
Bizarre Gathering Present
The great, silent throng which
accompanied Two-Guns On his last
earthly journey before he entered
the Red Mans happy hunting
ground" presented a bizarre blend
ing of barbaric and modern civil
izations.
They gathered at the Catholic
mission Of the Church of the Little
Flower while the Rev. Father M. j.
Haligan intoned the rites of requiem
high mass.
The central figure of tie gather
ing was the Surplice- vested Father
Haligan. AT arms length huddled
the selected coterie of blanket clad
Blackfeet chieftains, their plumes
OF black eagle and hawk feathers
rustling in the whining wind.
Father Haligan murmured Latin
ritual in the tiny cemetery while
old squaws and medicine men broke
into native death chants such as
the weird wolf song"
Immediate relatives and lifelong
friends Smeared black paint on cop
per cheek bones; lifted wavering
prayers to the Sun God" to beg
that he allow no shadow to fall on
Two-Guns' erect figure in the next
world, and began the stubborn fast
which will last, perhaps, for months.
Posed for Buffalo Nickel
Two-Guns was one of three
chiefs who posed for j. F. Fraser
when he nodded his composite head
for the Buffalo nickel" in 1918. He
counted dozens of public figures
among his personal friends, includ-
ing Teddy" Roosevelt, AL Smith,
Jimmy Walker, Harold Ickes and
many others.
Born in 1872, Two-Guns watched
Montana reach statehood: sat
aStride a pony beside his father
while the latter negotiated the
treaty which paved the way for
Glaciers acquisition by the govern
ment as a national park and nodded
approval when his father helped

Great Britain faced the Possibility

0nd of Six.inStaIIment
Statement.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-Sharp
criticism Of the N. r. A. was voiced
last night by DR.. William A. Writ Of
Gary, Ind, in the second of six
installment statement he is issuing
under the auspices Of the Committee
for the Nation.
THE N. r. A. has not stimulated
business, but it has stimulated our
people who can artifcially control
their prices to raise them and thus
destroy once more our ability to
trade" said DR.. Writ, whose red"
charges against the Roosevelt brain
trust" turned congressional attention
to him.
1.-The N. r. A. has been destroying
our purchasing power The N. r. A.
has not created purchasing power, "
he declared.
Money problems, both national and
international, were discussed in this
second installment. The first at
tackled RECOMMENDATION as a program
for national recovery and price
equilibrium.
World recovery he said, lin all
OF the sterling countries has been
most marked since April 10. 1888. the
very day we stopped pegging our dol
lar in foreign exchange"
DR.. Writ charges that the sterling
countries have not had the relapse
that we have had since September
l, 1888. The reason why they have
not had such a relapse is that they
did not deliberately try to stop their
precious recovery. We actually did
this very foolish thing"

CATHOLIC CHARITIES
WORK is RADIO TOPIC
DR.. Laurence j. Shehan, Assist
ant Director, Outlines Plans
Over WMAL.

Stressing his belief that there are
certain services that private agencies,
especially those of religious char
acter, will always be best able to rem
der the community, DR.. Laurence J.
Shehan. assistant director of the
Catholic Charities. outlined the work
of that organization in a talk over
WMAL last night. DR.. Shehar spoke
on the Community Forum hour and
was introduced by Elwood Street, d.
rector of the Community Chest.
Father Shehan pointed out that the
public agency has assumed RESPONSE
bilities for a great number of families
of the unemployed. He told how the
workers had been overwhelmed by the
number of cases they have had to
carry. while applications for help still
poured in. He said that circumstances
would seem to indicate that private
agencies which can limit their intake
can best handle certain difficult cases
where there are major problems other
than poverty and unemployment.
Catholic families" he said, present
ing religious and moral problems are,
of course, peculiarly the responsible
ity of an agency such as ours"

ence of Executive Department
as almost AU.PO,Uerful.

course, a statement Of basic principles
of government, designed to preserve
individual liberty, protect property
and furnish the general working plan
for the government of vast nation.
Under it three distinct departments
are created to act as checks upon one
another and to serve the general in
terests. The Constitution also sets
forth certain basic individual rights
as sacred beyond the reach of any
of the agents of government.
No Toy for Fools.
Ours is. therefore, not merely a
government of three divisions (execu-
tive. legislative and judiciaD, but is
in reality a four-phase arrangement,
providing for the popular will ex-
pressing itself through the three OPP
crate branches of government.
1t is not designed as toy for fools.
1t is complex. 1t is balanced 1t
is not intended to be swiftly changed.
1t can only work successfully, as
Washington repeatedly warned the
Nation, so long as there is virtue in
the people"
There is another and often over
looked phase of the Constituencies
separation Of State and local matters
from national ones. In other words.
it goes back to one Of the oldest and
most valuable ideas in Anglo-Saxon
hiStory-that Of responsible and free
local government.
Around these rules Of the game of
our national life, as set forth in the
Constitution, there has been in every
crisis in our history the same furious
struggle. Always there is the appeal
to some group interest to break
through. either by upsetting the bal
ance between the departments of gov
eminent and using one of them for
special purposes. or more serious by
far by destroying local government
and local responsibility and making
everything governmental gigantic
grab-bag.
When men find 1t hard to meet
their obligations they almost inVari-
ably begin organizing governmental
raids in the dark These raids actually
have been upon the Constitution.
which is to say upon the institution
which symboliZes the national tradi-
tons. the national resources and the
national will.
Looms in Background.
Now the Constitution controls no
patronage. and therefore cannot dis
suade or seduce. 1t does not fiatter
men. 1t has even become rather re-
mote from the everyday life of the
American citizen.
There has been vague feeling that
1t looms. citadel-like, in the back
ground of the national existence. and
that in some mysterious way it is i'm
pregnable and superbly garrisoned.
In reality. the people are the only
garrison, and when they quit their
posts and go on blind booty raids
through their citadel they are de-
spelling themselves. and placing their
treasure and their very lives in
jeopardy.
Thus, in their mania for easy
money. the people become both the
raiders and the raided. Freedom can
survive everything but the folly of
the free.
