Aus. tin said that the 25.000 field su- pervisors and enumerators re- quired for the census would be selected "after consultation with democratic representatives" In a statement replying to criticism of political patronage" Austin said That the policy since the Vivil War has been to award the census jobs to the party in power.
 'The mid-decennial census leg1 islation was passed by a republican congress and approved by a re- publican president" he said. He pointed that the 1890 population and farm census was taken by a field of 575 supervisors and 90.162 epumerators appointed on recon mendation of republican congress men. The new census, he said. would require 223 supervisors av- eraging about $s00 in salary for the three months work and the balance will he enumerators em- ployed for some 25 to 20 days. Those eligible for the jobs, he said should have at least high school education and must be between 25 and 60 years of age.
 He said the appointments wul be made from rural districts rath- CT than cities and that none would be made before Nov. 15, He said preference. as far as possible. would be given farmers and their families. Efforts were made late in the last session of congress to push through an unemployment census bill which, would have giv- en similar jobs to approximately 2S,000 deserving democrats Re- publicans filibustered the measure and succeeding in sidetracking it, The census would have been taken shortly after the November cleo ton. as.s

 It was the end of Sheriff Sarber's career. He stumbled to the floor, dying. The shot proved also the turning point in the career of John Diilinger and his gang, flaming to intense heat the growing anger of the middle-west against repeated depredations by the outlaws. The sheriff slayers freed Dillin- ger from Allen county jail, but in doing so they engendered a resolve in the minds of federal, local and state officers in half a dozen states that the Dillinger gang be tracked relentlessly at any cost and its murderous career terminated.
 Much Happened In Year.
 One year was passed. The cost was the lives of dozen officers.
 The result;
 Dillinger is in a grave to which he was sent by bullets of federal agents.
 Three of the gangsters were convicted of the Sarber murder EArry Pierpopt, Charles Makley and Russell Clark.

HONOLULU, r. H, Dec. 6. =
Stalking fading hopes on one last
chance, the U. S. navy searched the
ocean north of Honolulu today for
trace of the lost monoplane Star
of Australia and its crew OF three
men.
The 48 hour period set by experts
as the length Of time the plane
can remain afloat will expire today.
Weary lookouts on a geore of
ships pressed into the errand Of
mercy renewed their vigilance,
hopeful of catching some sign OF
the missing plane and the men
who came down on the ocean Tues
cay morning.
1T looks sort OF hopeless, - said
Commander E. Wayne Tod, in
charge of the Pearl Harbor naval
air base. as the search entered its
third day without a trace OF Capt.
Charles T. p. Uhn and his COM
panions, Leon Shilling and George
Litteljohn.
However. We Will continue the
hunt as long as there is a practical
chance Of getting them Tod said.
Naval experts reasoned that Ulm
must have oyershot the Island OF
Oahu. on which Honolulu is lceat-
ed. in his effort to span the Pa
cific from the California coast to
the Hawaiian Islands.
The prevailing wind at the time
was from the southwest. The ra-
clio signals from the plane, as its
occupants tried to get their bear
ings. appeared strongest on the
northern and western sides Of the
island.
Airnen Exhausted
There will be fewer airpianes in
the search today because the planes
and the men themselves can not
stand the strain without increasing
the possibility of accident, Tod
said. Already they have spent 20
hours in the air since Ulm sent his
final message Of "come and pick
US up
Ted and others doubted ,ha
monoplane landed safely. They
pointed out that its radio became
silent Immediately after it hit the
water.
w. P. w. Turner, British consul,
shared the growing belief that Ulm
and his mates have been drowned.
Il fear the search is hopeless, .
he said. IL intend to cable the
prime minister Of Australia TO this
effect
! Ulm, 80, and a veteran trans
oceanic flyer, and Littlejohn, 29,
are Australians. Shilling, 33, is a
British sea captain who was naVi-
gator and radio operator on the

in an attempt to blaze a trail for
