An eleventh-hour attempt to

the failure of Congress to make
sufficient appropriations for the

Senator Thomas, who is chair
man of the Senate District Appro-

that it is apparent that the work
of these two local agencies will be
materially impaired unless they
are given additional funds. He
plans, he said. to offer amend

Senate Appropriations Committee,
to make available additional ap-
preparations for the two agencies.
If his amendments are adopted
by the Senate, it still must be ap-
proved by the House. The Senate
committee is expected to begin
considerable of the deficiency bill
within a few days.

ATTITUDE Of

Now, He Says; Others

Great Britain was critisized for
her decision to default on war
debts by a number of Senators OF
both major political parties today.
Senator Johnson (RD of Cali
fornia, author of the law prevent
ing nations in default on war
debts from selling their securities
in this country, expressed the opin-
ion that his statute had little in
fluence on the British decision. He
said
Great Britain has refused to
meet her obligations for some
time. That she now does SO
openly does not alter the situa-
ton Of the past two years. The
British have repudiated their
debt before, and have done so
again.

Sharp warning that only direct

of bloodShed and violence, was
issued here today by five stee,

While the Presidents confer

DEADLOCKED
ON CHIEF
Hoover Man" As New Chair
man of Committee Opposed
BY "NeW Dealers"

CHICAGO, June S G.N.SD.
The Republican National Commit
tee, which convened in Chicago
today, was deadlocked over two
major issues, it was reported.
They were:
1. Shall there be a new deal
in the party or shall the party
go forward on the Hoover old
deal?
2. Who shall the party elect
as a new national chairman to
lead it out of the political dumps
in the presidential campaign of
1896?
Chairman Everett Sanders re-
signs today. The two outstanding
candidates to succeed him ap-
peared to be: Walter s. Hallanarl,
of West Virginia, supported by
several western committeeman
and some "anti-Hoover" Eastern
members, and Henry P. Fletcher,
of Pennsylvania, former ambassa-
dor to Mexico.
Backed BY Hoover
The Hoover hackers were re-
ported to have pushed Mr.. Fetch
er's name to the front.
There is also talk of several
clark horses" in the chairman
ship contest, which is not likely to
be settled today.
The Hoover line is said to be a
powerful one under the leadership
of Ogden L. Mills, of New York,
Secretary of the Treasury under
President Hoover.
Objections Voiced
The objection to Hoover
man." it was reported, is that
it would raise the issues on
which the party was defeated in
1882, would recall the crash of
1929 and might be construed as
committing the party to Hoover
leadership in the 1886 presi-
Dental race.
There was a growing sentiment
apparent for the selection of a
chairman from the Middle West.

European Nations Follow
Britain in Default
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

International News service
Under leadership of Great Brit
ain, Europe today started a new
and determined effort to force the
United States to agree to drastic
reduction of the 10000 million
dollar debt owed American tax
payers.
At the cost of it's traditional
reputation for integrity in honor
ing its debts, the British govern
ment notified the State Depart
ment of it's intention to suspend
all future payments until a new
settlement is reached.
Finland to Pay "AS Usual
A complete and indefinite sus'
pension of virtually all debt pay
ments faces this nation as result
of Britain's action. Finland is the
only European debtor nation eX,
pected to continue meeting its
American obligations.
The Finnish Minister reported
his governments intention to pay
in full, "as usual" its June Is
installment of $166,538, at the
very moment American officials
were studying the British note
announcing suspension OF pay
ments.
The British move was regarded
mere as a step similar to that
Europe took at Lausanne in 1882
when the former Allies, at time
when Germany's failure to con-
tinue making reparations pay
ments was generally conceded,
agreed to reduce them 80 pei
cent providing they obtained
dime-on-the-dollar settlement of
their own debts to this Govern
ment.

other debtor nations which had
sought to escape default by drop

POSSE LOSES
TRAIL IN
FOREST
All Indiana Roads Blocked BY
State PatroImen in New
Manhunt

SCOTTSBURG, Ind, June
0.N.SD Three ruthless gunner,
who last night fought a running
battle along one of the nations
busiest North-South highways,
killed one policeman, wounded an
other dangerously and climaxed
their depredations by kidnapping a
19-year-old farmer, appeared to-
day to have sifted through a
heavy Gordon of armed possemen
and police.
Two were swallowed up by the
rough knob country of southern
Indiana, while the third, believed
to be the killer of Deputy Sheriff
Harold Amick, Is, seemed to be
following a trail west toward Bed
ford and State Road IS, with
Ralph Shields, his captive, at the
wheel. Police believed he may be
trying to work back toward In
dianapoliS.
Two hundred heavily armed
pursuers held an empty bag today
when they raided vacant farm
house near here where they be-
lieved the outlaws had taken
refuge last night after their auto
mobile crashed into a stone at
Underwood and was wrecked.
Hounds Lose Trail
Bloodhounds hastily brought
from Lexington shifted trail into
the Indiana State forest preserve
near Henryville, where footprints
and blood-stained rags were found;
but there they lost the scent and
the dogs were called off the hunt
shortly before noon.
Authorities inclined to the belief
the mobsters were desperate hood
lulns and not John Dillinger'S
gangsters. They were armed only
with pistols, although they fired
with the reckless abandon of Dill
fingers machine gunners.
The rags supported a belief
that at least one of the gang
sters was wounded in the run
ming gun fight along U. S. 81
from Seymour to Underwood last
night.
The bandit held up Gilbert
Shields, cousin of the kidnapped
man, as he entered his barn on a
farm seven miles southwest OF
here.
One police officer was slain and
another critically wounded earlier
today as the desperadoes, believed
three in number, sped southwark
toward Louisville with guns blaz-
ing. Their wild dash was halted
when their car was wrecked 10
miles north of the Ohio River and
they fled afoot under rain OF
bullets.
Deputy Sheriff Harold Amick,
Is, of ScottSburg, who surprised
the outlaws when their car crashed
into a store in darkness at Under
wood, was shot in the head and
died three hours afterward at St.
Edwards Hospital at New Albany.
Only few minutes earlier Night
Policeman John Pfaffenberg, 80,
was shot down with four bullets
at a road intersection on the out
skirts of Seymour as he attempted
to halt the gangsters. He re-
NAMED in critical condition today
but hope was held for his recovery.
Sheriffs quickly deputized
scores of citizens and threw a
Gordon about the woods near
Henryville. A force of Is sharp
shooting Louisville police and
every available member of the
Indiana State police were rushed
to the scene.
