Still hoping to have the appropri-
alton for education of and medical
relief for Alaska natives increased
over the budget estimates, Delegate
Dimond appeared this week before
a subcommittee of the Senate APP
preparations committee and urged
that both items be substantially
enlarged. He was given a very
sympathetic hearing but what the
final decision will be, in view of
the administrations determination
to lop expenses from the regular
departments of government, is diff
ficult to say.

Aroused at the threat, Agriculture
Secretary Henry A. Wallace rallied
his forces to a defense of the ex-
periments in planned agriculture.
He emphasized the necessity OF
maintaining control in order that
the balance might not be shifted
lust as suddenly back to the
tragedy of overabundance and low
prices.
He was equally concerned over the
dangers of prof1teering and high
prices resulting fro mthe widespread
shortages of almost every food
product.
Official production estimates
based on Aug. l conditions wrote
the epitaph for this years crops.
If any hope had been held out for
corn, wheat, hay and oats, it was
abandoned yesterday.
The principle of acreage limita-
ton, it was admitted, probably will
be held largely in allegiance for an
other year at least. None would
predict specific changes in the con-
troll programs, but it was conceded
they would be material ones.
Food prices, Mr.. Wallace said,
necessarily will be materially
higher" though the farmers won't

at seems to me-" said Wallace,
that in order to avoid getting very
seriously out of balance in 1885, it
is necessary to maintain some form
of control"
The crop report showed that most
corn has been scorched beyond re-
covery. The 92,526,O00 acres plant
ed to it will yield only 1907, 100000
bushels, the least since 1894. Crop
reporters revised their July l wheat
estimate upward to 490,960000
bushels because of increased yields
in eastern states.
It was shown that drought raw
ages reduced crop prospects IL per

yields of thirty-tWo principal crops

There was an unlucky thirteen at

FEDERAL BLDG.
GRANT PRAISED
North Wing Construction
Assured After Years
of Waiting.

Local federal officials today eX-
pressed their elation over announce
ment of the S1,3O0,000 grant for the
construction of north wing to the
Federal building here.
Because of the overcrowded con-
dition of the building, local officials
and civic leaders for several years
have attempted to obtain the appro-
priation for the project.
Much credit for obtaining the
appropriation from the treasury de-
partment yesterday for the local i'm
provement was given to Representa-
tive Louis Ludlow
AS a member of the appropria-
lions committee, Mr.. Ludlow was
instrumental in having congress, at
the last session, restore the postof-
flee building program to the postal
and treasury departments.
Although William C. Mcclure,
local architect, was engaged more
than two years ago to make plans
for the addition, his work was tenn
porarily halted when Harold F..
IckeS, interior secretary, declined to
allocate money for the project.
Mr.. Mcguire will be able to COM
plete plans and specifications for
the addition within three months,
it was learned from Washington.
The north wing to the federal
building will be in harmony with
the present building, erected thirty
years ago.
The wing will be constructed with
Indiana limestone and will provide
employment in the Indiana quar-
rieS as we'll as for local men who
will work on the building.
Construction of the unit will re-
lieve much of the present existing
congestion in the federal building,
Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker
pointed out.
Besides, the new structure will
house many federal agencies which
now have quarters outside the fed
eral building.
Efforts to obtain the new wing
have been prompted by local civic
organizations. including the Indian
apolis Chamber Of Commerce, for
several years.
When Postmaster-General James
A. Farley was in indianapolis re-
Gently. a committee was appointed
to call on him. urging the appropri-
alton of money for the wing.

SLOT MACHINE
PROBE FALLS
TO MORRISSEY
Prosecutor Awaits Report
on Police Chiefs
Investigation.
ROWDY IS STILL HELD
Wilson May Quiz Suspect in
Hijacking Activity, He
IntimateS.

Investigation of the manifold
ramidcations of the slot machine
racket in Indianapolis today rested
entirely in the hands of Police Chief
Mike MorriSsey, who consistently
has scoffed publicly at the idea that
a dangerous situation existed.
THE thing is in MorrisSey'S
hands," County Prosecutor Herbert
E. Wilson declared when asked
whether he would question a Louis
vile "rowdy" held at police head
quarters as one of trio which has
been "hijacking" the illegal gam
bling devices from private clubs in
this city.
Mr.. Wilson made it plain, how
ever, that he and Chief MorrisSey
we're working together and said he
intended to confer at length with
Chief MorrisSey in the near future.
He said that he would determine at
that conference whether he person.
ally would question the Louisville
man.
Sc Machines Put In
The significance of the latter's
arrest lies in the fact that, as The
Times first revealed in an exclusive
article earlier this week, Louisville
interests have put at least fifty-siS
slot machines into Indianapolis and
its vicinity within the last few weeks
in competition with local under
world interests.
The first thing to do, Of course
is to find out the identity of the men
back of these Louisville machines,
Mr.. Wilson declared. THAT is what
Chief Morrissey is working on now
I believe"
The Louisville "rowdy" was ar
rested several days ago on another
charge and was identified Thursday
by the aged Waterman Of hi
lacked" club.
The Waterman told a Times in
formant he recognized the ''rowdy'
at once as the man who threat
ened him with gun when he tried
to stop the "hijacking."
First admission from the police
that they consider the situation
serious came late yesterday after
noon when Detective Chief Fred
Simon expressed distinct annoyance
that The Times had learned of and
published the Louisville mans ar
rest and Identification.
We're trying 20 clean this situa-
ton up" he said, adding that he
objected to the advertising"
MOrriSsey Breaks Silence
Chief MorriSsey today broke a
sustained silence of several days to
agree with Chief Simon in an
aversion to advertising" He ad-
mitted, however, that he was inves-
tigating with Mr. Wilson.
1 don't believe in popping off
until things have broken" Chief
MorrisSey asserted, and besides the
police knew all about this and were
working on it long before The Times
got excited
The chief APPARENTLY had ref
erence to four stories exposing the
present situation, which appeared
exclusively in The Times this week.
The tenseneSs of the situation
was increased by an apparently we'll
authenticated report that a second
three-man gang is in the field with
counter" hi lacking" activities.
Meanwhile, the heat" remained
ION" in the county with slot
machines in hiding there. 1t was
expected, however, that they would
begin to come out this afternoon
for the weekend trade.

The merchant policeman,
Albert w. Pratt, SO, of 1880
Shelby street, noticed the
broken glass in the door where
the burglar had gained en-
trance and went in after him,
a revolver ready for action.
AS he stepped through the broken
glass, he saw Hawkins behind the
cigar counter. Policeman Pratt
ordered the burglar to come out.
Don't shoot" the burglar called,
starting out.
Fires One Shot
AS he emerged from behind the
case, he fired one shot from a As
caliber revolver. This struck Pratt
in the chest.
Pratt then fired five shots from his
38-caliber revolver. One went wild.
but four found their mark in the
burglars body.
Police sent both men to the hos
pital, where Hawkins died short
ly before 4 a. m, an hour and three
quarters after the shooting. Mr..
Pratt's condition caused alarm
when he was admitted.
His wife, Mrs. jeanette May Pratt,
did not learn of the shooting, how
ever, until she was told this morn
ing by Times reporter.
ALBERT is just the man for the Job
of merchant policeman" she de-
clared proudly. He is not afraid
of any burglar and always have
been afraid he would get killed try
ing to capture one"
Former Auto Mechanic
Mr.. Pratt, who has been married
six years, formerly was an auto
mechanic.
Mrs. Owen Hawkins, 1920 Wade
street, told police today that She
had been informed that her hus-
band had been shot and killed at
Raymond and Shelby street, the
site of the store She visited the
hospital morgue later in the morn
ing.
Hawkins and two men who are
believed to have been with him are
thought by police to have been the
men who broke into the Cave, a
drinking resort next to the drug
store, 1904 Shelby street.
The method of gaining entrance
there was similar to that used at the
Michel pharmacy. No money was
obtained at the Cave, but the rob-
bers took liberal supply Of cigars
and cigarets.

There are two explanations OF Mr..
McKinney's presence. One Is that
he feels it incumbent upon himself
TO be here because his political Spon-
sor. Senator Van Nuys. is so III at a
northern Michigan lake that he
can not attend. Consequently, the
Van Mugs interests should be looked
after by some one, and Mr.. Nc
