DILLINCER TRAIL
 HAS BEEN FOUND
(Continued from Page 1.)

The apartment was rented on the Saturday that Dillinger walked out of the Indiana jail with the aid of a wooden gun. A woman identified from police pictures as Pearl Elliott, known companion of members of Dillinger's gang, rent ed the apartment. It was occupied on the following day and the wo- man paid two weeks rent in ad- vance after conferring with man who remained in an automobile.
 The caretaker said that when Dillinger and the woman took pos- session they carried two suits cases and a paper wrapped package which might have been one of the two machine guns which Dillinger picked up at the Crown Point jail.
 Police found a number of tele- grams addressed to J. Schultz. the name under which the apartment had been rented. The apartment had been left hurriedly, they said. Police did not reveal the contents of the telegrams.
 Lima, O., Mar. 24-(UP)-In- formation said to incriminate an official of Crown Point, Ind, in the escape of John Dillinger from the jail there several weeks ago has been obtained by Attorney General Philip Luta of Indiana from three Dillinger gangsters here, 1t was learned today.
 Lutz came here to confer with Harry Pierpont, Charles Makley and Russell Clark, accused of be- ing three of the six gangsters who liberated Dillinger from the Allen County jail here last Oct. 12. and killed Sheriff Jesse L. Sarber.
 It was understood the prisoners, two or them already waiting death sentence for Sarbers mur- der. talked freely.
 Tt was not money but the nec- essity of saving political reputa- tions that resulted in Dillingers escape from Crown Point," Lutz quoted Pierpont, alleged "hrigger- man" in the Sarber slaying," as saying.

crisis in the presidents recovery program hinged upon ar 1mpar- tial ment-supervised poll of employees sentiment.
 The stumbling block in this sug- gested compromise was believed to be determination on procedure of making effective the sentiment dis closed by such a poll.
 One Little Cloud
 Weighing against the chance of q compromise was the strong sem timent of both capital and labor that the time Is favorable for 8 clear cut show of strength on the union issue.
 Some manufacturers are known to believe 0 fight now might dis pose of the conflict in capitals favor whereas a compromise might mean an eventual victory for labor by enabling the unions to continue their membership gains.
 An indication of this sentiment was seen in reports fron Detroit that manufacturers were making a strong bid for the favor of work CTS by instituting wage increases and reductions in hours. General Motors, Chrysler and other large plants were offering their men a 36 hour week in the place of a 40- hour week with no decrease in pay.
 The president was heartened in his automotive negotiations bv news from New York that his rep resentatives had succeeded in averting a strike which threatened to tie up the Delaware and Hudson railroad.
 Detroit Is Anxious
 Detroit, March 24-UP)-Held in check by union officials at Washington, restless automobile workers continued at work in the motor plants today, some grumb. Roosevelt would effect settle lnent of their grievances with the manufacturers.
 The negotiators, aware by a bombardment of messages from the "boys back home," that an in- surgent element was getting rest tive because of the prolonged ne- gotiations sent word to all locals to have confidence and await the results of the presidents efforts.
 All telegratns received here from the labor delegates at Washington following last nights conference, had an optimistic and encouraging tone. William Green, president of the A. F. of l.. sent telegram to all union locals, typical of others from the capital, stating:
 "Oficers at conference standing as unit until get final word from president of United States. Urge you withhold further action until we send further word"

 Therefore. the city decided. to continue it's present system but, at the same time. demand that the collectors take additional steps to better their equipment in the in- terest of the public from sanitary and service standpoint.
 Although no statement was avail able today, 1t is understood that the city will require its collectors to provid e equipment much better than now in use. Many of the motor trucks are leaky. The horsei drawn, wooden wagons are con- sidered absolutely out of the ques- ton.
 The board of works is to await recommendations from Dr. Godfrey because he, as health officer, will be the authority to pass on the health protection phase of the question. Needless to say, the men working for the city collecting garbage breathed sighs of relief when they read in the Democrat that the contracts had been re- fused, all of them, and that the present system of collection would be maintained. It Is believed that they will be willing to comply with the city's new requirements as to sanitary collection equipment.

Reports Hold-Up
On East Side

Harold Goodman, Los Angeles
salesman, who has been staying at
a local hotel, reported to police that
he was held up and robbed by a
lone bandit near Wahl's packing
shed early this morning.
The story as Goodman related 1t
at headquarters is that he left the
Golden Valley Produce company's
office az 2:15 o'clock this morning
and walked toward town by way OF
Third street. He noticed a car fol-
lowing him and when he had reach
ed Bright's shed it went around the
block and met him again when he
was abreast of the Wahl shed.
The car drove up without any
lights showing and stopped directly
beside Goodman. He showed gun
out the window and ordered Good
man to "shell out" which he did,
his loss consisting of 65 cents when
he had emptied his pockets.
Goodman told police that the
bandit did not leave the car at all
and as it was dark he could not get
any description of him.

ago that she was kidnapped by a
dark man" as she was returning
home from school.
The last two nights, it was learn
ed, her father drove into the des-
ert in the hope the kidnapers would
comply with their original promises
to meet him along a designated
highway and arrange for the pay
ment of $4,000 ransom money. This
course was outlined in a note Rob-
les received at his electrical store
an hour after his daughter disap-
peared.
The son of rich old Bernabe Rob-
les, retired cattle baron, was accom-
panied on the drive by an unnamed
person.
An air OF quiet expectancy was
apparent at the RobleS home on
Franklin street, where June'S mo-
ther has been in the state of SEMI
collapse since she disappeared. On =
ly a few cars drove in and out Of
the driveway. Bernabe Robles, who
yesterday ccnfided that Il feel
something is going to happen re-
NAMED in secluSion.
Authorities who withdrew from
the case last Tuesday after Berna-
be Robles returned from Sonora,
Mexico, where he was said to have
contacted the kidnapers, intimated
they would renew an active investi-
cation unless the child was released
shortly Twelve federal agents, di-
rected by Joseph Dunn of Los An
geles, were ready to take up the cold
trail.
Many observers still believed Al
Aguirre, who accompanied the elder
Robles on the Sonora trip, would
return from his mysterious trip into
Mexico with news of June. Nothing
has been heard of him since he
dropped off a bus enroute from No
gales to Tucson Wednesday night.
Although friends insisted he went to
Mexico on personal business, others
were confident he was acting as in
termediary for the Robles family.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-A thor
ough cleansing of the Republican
party is all that can save it from ex-
tinction, Sen. William E. Borah,
Idaho's independent Republican,
said today in discussing the political
situation.
Although without any special can
didate to succeed Everett Sanders
as chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, Borah expressed
vigorous views as to the course he
believed the party should pursue.
He demanded a complete separa-
ton from recent leaders.
"The Republican party is pretty
close to the brink and unless it has
an organization free from the in
fluences which brought us to our
present plight" he said, "it will die
as the old Whig party died-of sheer
political coWardice."
Borah did not mention names, but
it was apparent he was talking OF
the Republican party leadership
during the Hoover administration.
There is just one hope for the
Republican party" he said, land
that is the young Republicans all
over the country with a new out
look, a new spirit and cleaner, high
er political ideals.
"If they can take charge of the
party and divorce it from the econ
omic and the financial influences
