Youngblood died this after
noon. Undersheriff Charles
Cavanagh and Deputy How
ard Lohr, each shot through
the abdomen in the gun battle
with Youngblood, were given
an even chance of recovery.
Sheriff Van Antwerp's bullet
wound in arm was not considered
serious. Eugene Fields. Negro, store
clerk, received a minor bullet wound
in the right shoulder.
Sheriffs in adjoining counties
were instructed to place road
blockades to halt the fleeing Dillin-
ger should he still be in the area.
Meanwhile William Larson, spe-
cial agent in charge of the division
of investigation of the department
of justice at Detroit. ordered his
agents into the area to cooperate
in apprehending Dillinger. State
police squads from Bay City, Flint,
Detroit and Lansing also joined the
search, their cars loaded with riot
guns, machine guns and tear gas
bombs.
Detroit Police on Guard
Prosecutor Teller remained close
to the bedside of Younghlood seek
ing an elaboration from the fugi-
tive, who had openly boosted of his
underworld connections. Residents
in the Negro section of the city
called officers when Youngblood's
repeated boasts convinced them he
was the escaped prisoner.
In the Detroit area. police we're
instructed to keep sharp lookout
for Dillinger. Familiar haunts of
the once purple gang were watched
in hope that Dillinger might at
tempt to renew underworld con-
facts in the metropolis.
A careful questioning was going
forward of the Negro residents who
had known and talked to Young
blood during his stay in efforts to
ascertain whether the hideout Of
Dillinger could be located here.
"He's Desperate Is Report
A blockade was placed across
leading north bound roads in San
lac county by Sheriff James
Greensn on receipt of word that
Dillinger and two companions were
driving north from Port Huron.
Sheriff Greenan said the ST.
Clair county officials did not ex-
plain whether Dillinger was actually
seen leaving Port Huron but added
that they told me he was headed
into the thumb district and to
watch him as he was desperate"
Hastily assembling posses, Sheriff
Greenan erected blockades on the
leading thoroughfares, prepared to
shoot it out if the notorious outlaw
should appear.

berghs appearance:
/. He denounced the methods en-
ployed in cancelling air mail con-
tracts without a just hearing and
trial"
2. He declared the army was not
as we'll equipped as commercial COM
panies to handle the mails and that
army pilots had been sent aloft
without adequate training.
3. In Colonel Lindbergh's opinion
American commercial aviation is
the best in the world, and American
military aviation is ahead of other
countries.
Criticised Proposed Bill
a. He favored separation of oper-
ating aviation companies from
manufacturing companies. He said
he received $250O00 in stock of the
Trans Continental Transport in
1928. and Pan American warrants to
purchase stock over period of
years.
5. He criticised proposals to refuse
new air mail contracts to companies
asserting claims against the govern
ment because of the recent cancel
lations.
Colonel Iindoergh carried his air
mail feud with the administration
into the committee room with re-
peated complaints that the air mail
contractors were convicted without
trial. He refused to express any
opinions regarding the validity of
the contracts.
Colonel Lindbergh told the COM
mittee that army pilots do not re-
ceive sufficient flying training, and
said the air corps could not carry
the mail as efficiently as COM
mercial operators.

years to build up he said.

He condemned the administration
air mail bill, especially that para
graph forbidding letting of con-
tracts to operators involved in al
legged collision who assert claims
against the government because of
cancellation of their contracts.
Colonel Lindbergh denounced that
provision as lone of the most un-
just acts / have ever seen in legis-
lation."
Two companies possessing air
mail contracts have been paying
him $4,000 a year, Colonel Lind
bergh said. and he also is stock
holder in companies formerly pos
sessing contracts. But he didn't
know how much stock he owned.

Signing Brothers.

IT. LOUIS, November 17.-Lew
H Wertz, Oklahoma oil oper-
atoT, went home today without
buying the st. Louis Cardinals,
but left behind word that he may re-
turn next Wednesday or Thursday.
Wentz said. however, that he had
no fixed engagement with Sam Brea-
don, president of the club, for the
reopening of their discussion relative
to the transfer of the club. Breadon
himself said the deal still was "off
indefinitely" and that nothing fur
ther would be done until he returned
from a vacation in Florida in Decem-
ber.
Breadon's Florida trip has led to
speculation that the brothers Dean,
Dizzy and Paul, although likely una
ware of it, may be holding up compile
ton of the sale.
Base ball writer's pointed out that
the Cardinals, with the Deans signed
and satisfied, has one market value,
whereas the club, with the brothers
outside the fold, may have quite an
other value in the eyes of a prospec-
tive purchaser.
The Deans will be in Florida when
"Singin' Sam" is there, and the as
sumption is that his vacation" will
consist, partly at least, in attempting
to induce them to sign them papers" i"
as Dizzy calls it.
