Millions have asked What has
become of 'Chickie?'"
Was her triumph real, and did
her love endure-or were the
shadows of her tragic past TOO
great a menace for her marriage
to survive? For so many living life
so real have pondered the ques-
tion Does a girl ever successfully
live down shame and disgrace like
Chickie's?"
Hundreds-even thousands Of
girls found in Chickie'S life a mir
ror of their own-a story that was
not fiction to them. It was bitter
revelation, and they wrote eager,
pathetic letters telling Chickie
how to fight her way back. And
when the story of Chickie's come
back was added to the earlier
book they wrote again-and they
are still writing.
Where is Chickie now? Did
David stand by her?

~ Hid Him." He Tells U. S.
Agents Before Succumb-
ina to Police Bullets

WATERLOO, Iowa, June 8 II
N. SO.-Despite the death-bed in
timation made by Tommy Carol
that his desperate chieftain, John
Dillinger, is dead and hidden
away" police we're securing east
ern Iowa today for Americas No
! public enemy.
Carroll, 37-year-old bank robber
slayer, and one of Dillinger's chief
lieutenants, died last night with
four police bullets in his back. But
before death sealed the gangster's
lips he dropped a hint as to the
possible fate of Dillinger.
Asked by H. A. Dewey, Depart
ment of Justice officer, where he
had buried Dillinger, Carroll mum
bled:
81 hid him."
TOO WEAK TO SAY MORE
The dying gangster was too
weak to say any more. He lapsed
into a coma and died without
celebrating on his laconic state
ment.
Authorities were puzzled over
CAROLS statement. While they
interpreted his words to mean
that Dilinger might be dead they
also admitted that the dying
hoodlum may have meant that
he had concealed his leader, per.
haps wounded, in some remote
hideaway.
A telephone threat that the
county Jail would be dynamited
and reports that an automobile
bearing a man and woman. had
roared out of town following the
shooting gave impetus to the man
hunt for other members, of the
gang believed lurking in the
vicinity.
Federal authorities admitted
they had been informed that Car,
roll, one Of the gunner who. with
Dillinger shot their way out Of a
trap April % at Spiker Lake, Wis,
had buried Dillinger's body, near
here.
Carroll was shot down by De.
tective P. E. Walker when the
gangster resisted arrest and
reached for his pistol to shoot
it out with Walker and Detective
Emil Steffen.
CAROLS Wife Seized.
Seized with Carroll was Jean
Crompton, 81, alias Jean Delaney
The girl insisted she was CAROLS
wife, although the gangster had
been married previously in st,
Paul.
Miss Crompton was one of the
three women left behind by Dill
linger and his henchmen when
they escaped in the Spider Lake
gun battle. She had been given a
suspended sentence on a charge Of
harboring the outlaws, but was
later released on probation.
Reports that another couple had
fled in an automobile after the
shooting Of Carroll spurred the
man hunt in Eastern Iowa for
other members of the Dillinger

BILL
PUSHED IN
MESSAGE
Congress Told of Detectives to
Be Sought in Legislation
At the Next Session
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

1HteFHAGAOudA No"S
President Roosevelt dedicated
his Administration to a new
economic creed for the nation
today-setting forth the home, a
livelihood, and industrial security
as inalienable rights of the
American people.
The President served notice on
the present session Of Congress
that he wanted the pending
Housing Bill passed, but that old
age and unemployment insurance
legislation should wait until Con-
gress meets again.
At the conclusion of reading Of
the message, the entire Democratic
side of the House chamber rose
and gave it a prolonged ovation
Some Republicans applauded, but
did not rise. It appeared to be
one of the most popular messages
Mr.. Roosevelt has yet sent to tho
Capitol.
Job Insurance Promised
Social insurance--both for old
age and unemployment-the Pres
ident described as a definite
objective, but he said that legis-
lation should be enacted only
after a mature plan for its oper-
alton had been worked out. Such
plan the Executive promised to
work out and present when the
next Congress convenes in Jan.
uary.
The American home Mr.. Roose-
Velt placed as paramount in con-
Sideration of any longtime pro-
gram for betternment of the ma
ton generally. He conceded that
much has been done to make
easier the building and owning of
homes, but said we must go much
farther before the objective can
be attained. That objective, he
added, lies behind enactment of
the pending housing bill.
A special message to Congress
carried the Presidents thoughts
to Capitol Hill.
Must Use Resources
AS a vital corrolary to the home
and security, the President placed
development of natural resources
of the country, with particular re-
gard for waterways and the soil.
His message was, technically, a
supplement to the recent COM
munication in which he trans
mitted to Congress a number of
departmental records, reports
dealing with the use Of waterways
and the soil. AS such, much Of ii
was devoted to a general dis
cussion of what should be done to
carry out this program.
The President said:
"The extent of the usefulness
of our great natural inheritance
of land and water depends on
our mastery Of it. We are now
so organized that science and
invention have given us the
means Of more extensive and
effective attacks upon the prob
