BY JULIUS FRANDSEN United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, July 23-(UP)-- John Dillinger's bullet-ridden body put bloody evidence before the eyes of gangsters today that U. s agents, like the northwest mount ed, get their man.
 Criminals who scoffed at federal authority got their answer when a quick burst of bullets wiped out the nations No. public enemy as he walked from a Chicago theater lobby.
 Hearty congratulations went from Attorney General Homer s Cummings and Director Edgar Hoover of the justice division of in vestigation to the agents for job well done.
 But in the remorseless drive of the federal men against criminals the end of Dillinger merely closed one chapter in an endless war on enemies of society.

BANDIT KILLED

 FEDERAL AGENTS
Didn't Get a Chance to Pull
 His Gun - Woman Betrayed Him
BY ROBERT A. LOUGHRAN (United Press Stan Correspondenf

United Press Stan Correspondcnf) Chicago, July 23-(UP)-Fed- erak agents who killed John Dillin- ger took elaborate precautions to- day against any betrayal of those who made the spectacular staying possible.
 A squad of federal men aug mented by East Chicago, Ind, po- lice shot Dillinger on the sidewalk in front of neighborhood then- ter at 10:40 last night after the nationally hunted outlaw had watched the film Manhattan Mei- odrama," a picture that took for its plot the eternal battle of the law and the lawless.
 Victorious after months of frus- tration the federal government was shrewd enough in triumph to pro- tect the source that led to Dillin- gers death.
 His Weakness Got Him
 Dillinger always had craze for the opposite sex and doubtless ft was this weakness that led him to the cleverly arranged trap.
 Melvin Purvis. head of the fed- eral bureau of investigation, heard reports that "a woman in red put the finger on Dillinger," and he smiled knowingly without conn ment.

continued hysteria. It is feared that the combination of shock, fright and the wounds may make the case one of grave nature.
 The hosiptal had only an incom- plete report of the dogs onslaught on the woman. Either while she was visiting a neighbor or on her own property, she stopped to pct the animal, large speciman of the German police variety. Just as she patted the dog, he leaped up at her head, knocked her down with his heavy weight, and contin- ued his attack while she lay on the ground.
 Dr. H. s. Allen gave Mrs. Hoff- man emergency treatment, but be- licved the case so serious that he ordered the woman to the hospital The Waterbury hospital ambulance rushed to the scene and brought the woman to that institution.
 The dog was taken into custody by Southbury authorities and his fate has not been decided as yet.

The Empire State Building, the
Chrysler Building, the Metropoli-

Building are likely to be torn
down within so or IS years be-
cause of obsolescence, according
to william Orr Ludlow Of the New
York Chapter of the American In
Stitute of Architects.
Mr.. Ludlow, designer Of the

Manville Building, New York
Times Annex and other New York
structures, writes in a current

"Structurally they would prob
ably last 1000 years, but actual
ly their end will come perhaps
sooner than we think. These
magnificent buildings, with all
their appeal of pride and
glamour, will disappear just as
soon they become commercially
unpr0fitable."
New inventions for conveniences
and comfort are among the fac
tors which will make skyscrapers
improbable within so or IS years,
Mr.. Ludlow asserts. Other forces,
he explains, will be decentraliza-
ton, or the spreading out of the
population horizontally: the aero
plane; new business methods max
ing quick personal contacts less
necessary; new ideas regarding
sunlight and air conditioning;
new styles of architecture; new

badly lighted rooms. Ceilings are

EARLY PAINTINGS

Many of the crudely painted
early American portraits, which
are now collected to add charm
to Colonial rooms, were produced
with ordinary paints by house
painters, says Holger Cahill, an
authority on primitive American
art. These quaint pictures were
often done as a side line to the
general business of painting barns,
tavern signs or decorating wagons.

When redecorating the room,

best type of coating to use.
