Prank Starts

FOND DU LAC, Wis, July 10
Reports that John Dillinger,
Americas most hunted desperado,
was in this vicinity today were
squelched by Federal agents who
hurried here following rumors Of
a typical shooting affray.
A telegram sent to Melvin H.
Purvis, head Of the division Of
investigation at Chicago. stated
that the furore started with a
crazy prank by four youths, two
of whom are under arrest. Steal
ing a small coupe, the boys fired
q dozen shots into the rear and
then pushed the machine off o
hill.
The youths under arrest for
their escapade are Ray Dossart
and Adrian Mieda.
Earlier reports were that four
men, one Of them said to be Dill
linger, and a woman were the OBJ
ject of a Statewide police hunt fol-
lowing the ruthless machine-gun-
ming of an unidentified man five
miles east of here.
Chase on Road
Farmers who were reported
to have seen the assasSina-
ton said the gunmen, driv-
ing a large grey sedan, were pur-
suing their victim, driving a small
coupe at break-neck speed along
the highway. AS the sedan drew
near the small car, machine gpn
ri and the small car went
into the ditch.
The outlaws stopped, extricated
the body from the Car, tied it to
the running board Of the sedan,
and roared away, it was related.
Farmers insisted that one Of the
men they saw was Dillinger.

SHELTER SHIFTS
ITS MESS HALL

The messhall at the transient
shelter, John Marshall Place and
C Streets Northwest. where for
three successive week-ends men
have been poisoned by food, will
be closed and a commodious mess
hall opened today at the rear of
21O c st. N. w. In addition, the
relief unit will discontinue the use
of the Salvation Army dining
room.
A. S. Rosichan, director of the
transient shelter, said today that
the change was not forced by the
unfortunate experience with food,
but had been contemplated for
several weeks past. He said:
"With the new feeding unit in
operation we will be running
seven mess halls under one su-
perviSion. We are consolidating
scattered eating places and look
for greater efficiency and econ
Omy. Four hundred men can
be fed at once in the new dining
hail.
Health officials today said that
they had no complaint about the
sanitary conditions at the old
places which are being closed, and
that it would be three or four days
before they could get a report
from the laboratories which are
analyzing the food samples taken
from the John Marshall shelter.

BEGINS

K|CKBACK
Holds First Meeting, Plans
TO Watch All Pay Rolls
To Aid D. c. Workers

Determined to enforce the pre-
vailing wage laws, rules and regu-
lations to the limit, the Districts
new "kickback board" as the
Wage Compliance Board is now
called, met for the first time at
the District Building today.
The final personnel of the
board as announced by Chairman
Howard F. Clark, Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner, is Roland
Brennan, chief clerk of the
engineer department, as Secre-
tary; L. C. Wormington, chief
inspector Of the Municipal Archi-
tect'S office; A. D. Black, en-
,gineer Of sewers, and George H.
Wahly, assistant Corporation
Counsel.
Maze of Details
As the board met. today it was
confronted with a maze of details
and legal constructions covering
thousands of contracts and sub
contracts covered by three gen.
eral wage fixing authorities.
Money. spent under the Bacon
Davis act, under the PWA and
the NRA construction code has
created q situation where there
are several different wage scales,
raininaurn amounts and limits Of
hours. p f., .s...ss' sste5:, !
One OF the underlying reasons
for the policies Of the kickback
board is the desire of Major John
c. Gotwals, Engineer Commits
sioner, to prevent chiseling by out
of-town contractors.
Would Help ID. C.
Explaining this today, Capt.
Howard F. Clark said:
1--WE want to give more work
to more washington people.
Most Of the large contracts
here have gone to out Of town
men because they chiSeled ON
the wages. There Is no reason
why we should not protect
Washington builders and con-
tractors who are rquired to pay
regular wages; and If we can
wipe out the kickback racket
we will be aiding Washington
business and working men at
the same time"
Inspectors will be sent to every
Job to investigate every pay roll
and see to it that the men are
paid the full amount. Con-
tractors who have signed wage
agreements with the men will
not be subjected to inspection.

CHICAGO, .Julyy 10 G.N.S).
An early visit to the art exhibit
held in conjunction with q Gen.
tury of Progress, a hasty lunch,
and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
planned to continue her trip
westward today after a brief but
hectic visit in Chicago.
In the. role Of a news COM
mentator, Mrs. Roosevelt made
the first Of a series Of five COM
mercial broadcasts from the stage
of the Globe theater, in the vii
lage of Merrie England at .
Century of Progress last night.
Backs Clean Film Drive
Speaking over a nationwide
network, she heartily endorsed
the campaign to purge motion
pictures Of indecency. She said:
"The matter of motion pic
lures is very important TO the
whole country. ] am extremely
happy that the film industry
has appointed q censor within
its own ranks, Joseph I. Breen,
assistant to will HI. Hays. 1t
has long been q major question
of great interest to .wOmen'S
organizations, particularly, OF
course, because of the fact that
motion pictures are 50 popular
with children.
"Lately it has been felt that
the tendency to- glOrify the
racketeer and criminal, or at
least to make him appear q
sympathetic character, was
having something Of q bad ef-
feet upon the children Of this
country. Consequently, this new
announcement shouId do much
tO M4sgk these organizations
feel that the fling industry rs
q whole desires to cooperate
and use its tremendous power
for the improvement of the
country"
Mrs. Roosevelt's tour Of the
Worlds Fair grounds: which she
had planned to make as plain
Eleanor Roosevelt, turned into
what she termed "a game Of hare
and hounds"
Followed BY Crowds
Though she resorted to back
doors and back paths, so intense
was her desire to thoroughly ex-
plore the exhibition without be.
ing handicapped by reporters,
photographers, autograph-seekers,
admirers, she was recognized
everywhere and crowds followed
her about from exhibit to exhibit.
She gained a moment Of respite
when she darted down a dark
corridor and into a dark room
where motion pictures depicting
microscopic illumination of germs
were being displayed. In the dark
ness no one identified her as the
first lady of the land.

Hitler today finds himself in
a u0sitioYl similar to the period
Immediately after he took power
when the world was alarmed by
the Jewish outrages and the
terrorism against his political
enemies.
France at that time, as has
later become known, actually
reflected upon an attack.
The French general staff rec

French Waited Long
Hitler warded off the blow by
A series of great peace speeches,
the most important Of which he
made at the spring meeting OF
the Reichstag. .
Thereafter, the French waited
30 long that Hitler had the
chance to consolidate his position
and after his great plebiscite,
when 90 per cent of the Germans
voted for Hitler. the French felt
he was too strong to attack.

POLO GROUNDS, New York,
July 10.-The National League
All-Stars, under the direction Of
Bill Terry, Giant pilot, today were
leading Joe Cronin's American
Leaguers.
The score was 40 at the end
of the third inning.
Carl Hubbell and Vernon Gomez,
left-handed pitching aces of the
Giants and Yankees, respectively,
were the apposing pitchers.
A capacity crowd Of upward Of
$1,000 persons were on hand.
The small bleacher section in
centerfield was filled 80 minutes
before game-time. Boxes and re-
served sections were disposed Of
days ago. That left only the up
per stand and the aisles and both
were crowded as the American
League went out for fielding prac-
tice shortly before the game
started.
Powerful Club
No club quite as powerful as
the American League starting
lineup ever had been placed on
any field. Its manager, Joe
Cronin, of the Washington Sena-
tors, even went so far this morn
ing to denote Higgins, Of the
Athletics, a 1855 hitter, in favor
of Jimmy Foxx, of the Athletics,
at third base. F'oxx is the home
run champion of baseball; SO with
his inclusion, dynamite literally
lurked in every bat that was toted
to the plate.
AS Gehringer. Manush, Ruth,
Gehrig, Foxx, Simons, ct al, caTse
to the plate in batting practice,
roar after roar went up from the
delighted crowd as they knocked
balls into the stands and over
the wall. Manush dropped two
in the upper stands; Ruth taking
his first fling at the Polo Grounds
in more than 10 years, dropped
one in the lower stands the first
time he came up and two the
next time.
Gehrig gave an even better
show, clearing the right-field
stands entirely with his first
effort and driving his second
almost on a line into the upper
stands in center field.
Meantime, the National League
players sat in the dugout and
gloomily viewed this exhibition. It
had one of the greatest teams
of all time-great enough to use
Pepper" Martin, Klein, Paul Wa
ner and "Arky" Vaughan as sub
Stitutes-but it lacked the raw
power of the opposition, just as
the opposition lacked its defensive
