PREPARING FOR
WAR, IS CLAIM
Hitler Posing as Friend of
Peace, Flemish Author
Tells Audience.

German Nazi preparations for war
are going forward rapidly while
Adolph Hitler poses as a friend Of
peace, according to Pierre Van
Paassen, Flemish journalist, who
spoke last night to a meeting Of
more than 600 persons of the In
dianapolis Zionist district in Beth
Ell Zedeck temple
Prisons in Germany are packed
with Pacifists while Hitler asks for
five years of peace in which to pre-
pare for war, according to Mr.. Van
PaaSSen.
The speaker said further that Hit
1er's position rapidly becoming a
desperate one with exports off, bust
ness conditions worse, his promise
unfulf1lled and his followers drop
ing away from him.
Mr.. Van Paassen urged Palestine
as a refuge for German Jews, point
ing out that other countries to
which they may flee from Nazi out
RACES already have difficult unem-
ployment problems which only
would be aggravated by a large in
fluX of emigrants.
Rabbi Elias Charry also spoke
urging support of the Zionist move
ment. Cantor Myro Glass sang his
new composition, "A Silent Protest.

COnser Avenue Work Nav
Be Started This Week
Construction Depends Upon
CWA Officials, Says
Board Head.

Construction of Conser avenue,
from Thirty eighth street to Forty
fourth street. is expected to be
started this week, provided final
approval is forthcoming from CWA
officials, Walter G. Boetcher, presi-
dent of the public works board, an
nOunced yesterday.
Tentative approval earlier had
been granted by the CWA. but the
project was delayed when it was
discovered the park commissioners
in office in 1924 had agreed to pay
Crown Hill cemetery $4,000 for the
necessary right-of way whenever it
should be built.
In a series of conferences the
cemetery held up a waiver of this
sum requested by the park COM
miSsioners board until 1t obtained
assurance that boulevard would
be constructed which would be of
sufficient perlnanence to insure the
cemetery it would not face assess
ment for a new street within the
next few years.
The boulevard will be seventy feet
wide. 1t will be given a treated
surface which will improve under
passenger traffic, Mr.. Boetcher
stated.

MICR0PH0NES TAKEN
FROM FEENEY OFFICE
DAY BEFORE BREAK

For several months, radio sta
tions WKBF and WFBM have
had microphones installed in the
office of Commissioner Al Feeney
of the state safety department.
They were put in after ten
criminals escaped from the Indi-
ana state prison at Michigan
City so that any man hunt could
be described over the air.
But days have been rather dull
and there was nothing exciting to
broadcast. Wire charges we're
going on. So last Friday both
stations decided to cut out that
expense. They took out the micro
phones Friday afternoon.
Saturday morning John Dillin-
ger escaped from the Crown Point
Jail.

where police attempted to catch

nous pig characters. He carried it
into the apartment with an arm
load of other souvenirs Of the fair,
Mary said.
Mingled With Officials
Harry and I returned from a
visit to Harry's mothers home, to
learn that Johnnie had been to the
opening hockey game in Chicago, 3"
Mary recalled. NO one was looking
for neat, Immaculate, we'll dressed
man as one of the Dillinger gang,
and all of the boys always kept
themselves looking we'll The po-
lice and city and state officials
flocked to that hockey game, but
Johnnie went anyway"
II is chances of this sort that
Mary is afraid will endanger Dill
linger in his second flight from the
law.
We all took chances" she ad-
mitted. When we drove into a
town, Harry would ask policemen
for directions to hotels and roads.
One night I looked out our hotel
window and saw a policeman stand
ing on the sidewalk across the
street. I didn't think anything of
it, but the next morning we had a
good laugh. We had selected a
hotel just across the street from the
police station"
Only twice during their adven-
lures Guiding the police were they
frightened. Both instances occurred
in Miami, according to Mary.
Saw Group of Policemen
Harry and I came down to the
lobby of the hotel in an elevator
and saw several policemen standing
in a group" she said. He walked
over and turned his key over to the
| desk and we walked out.
In front of the hotel there were
other policemen and a squad car
We were uneasy until we learned
that a young man had committed
suicide by jumping from a hotel
window"
Another time, according to Mary
Pierpont saw an Indiana car parked
in front of the hotel 1t bore a
card which he thought said In
diana State Police"
He parked our car IN front of
the hotel and started in to warn
me-" Mary said. Then he went
back and looked at the sign on the
car again. 1t said,' inspected by
state police"
Tucson Capture a Surprise
The capture in Tucson was a sur
prise to Mary, though she said they
all knew they would be caught some
time.
But I didn't think it would be
done so quietly" was her comment.
Il didn't like Tucson, and insisted
that we not stop there. They all
called me the kid, and BOBBY
Clark went over and laughed when
he told the other girls that he

Methodist Superintendent to Speak
at Wichita Today.

The White Cross center of the
indianapolis Methodist hospital will
be the inspiration for a similar guild
to be formed in Wichita, Kan. Dr.
John G. Benson, superintendent of
the Methodist hospital, will address
a womens rally in Wichita today,
outlining the plans for the guilds
formation.
On Wednesday, DR.. Benson will

School Chief to Speak

Grover Van Duyn, assistant super
intendent of the state board of pub
lie instruction, will address members
of the Rockville Road Civic Asso-
citation tomorrow night at the
Garden City school on The Home
and the School"

guessed we'd have to go on, as the
kid didn't like Tucson.
They all thought Of it after they
were captured. If we'd listened to
the kid" one of them said, 1--WE
wouldn't have been here"
The capture in Tucson came
through policeman impersonating
a representative of a bakery.
There was nothing unusual in
that" Mary said. I'VE always were
greeted when we moved into a new
house by organizations welcoming
us to the city. In Chicago. we re-
ceived letters from the mayor, tell
ing us he was glad we had come
there, and if there was anything we
didn't understand, to call on him
and he would be glad to explain it
to us.
Johnnie always got a big kick
out of those welcome letters and
visits. He would laugh and say,
Wouldn't they be surprised if they
knew they were welcoming the ia
nous Dillinger gang to their city?'
Il guess Johnnie is getting kick
out of this, too. In spite of being
on the run, he's probably had a big
laugh out OF the story of his escape
with the aid of a wooden gum
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-06

Il never knew Johnnie to
take the time TO white out a
wooden gun" Mary laughed.
"He always was moving
faster than that"
Though she admits she is guess
ing. Just as any ordinary citizen
does. Mary doesn't put much stock
in the story that Dillinger effected
his escape with a wooden gun,
carved out as he sat in his cell in
the Crown Point jail.
1T looks as if Johnnie had got
ten to some one on the inside with
some money. Now. I don't know.
But when he came through St.
Louis. the police there told me that
if he had come there, and offered
them money. they would have
taken it, and let him go. And I
guess all officers are alike"
Would Like to Attend Trial
Mary has made no definite plans
to go TO Lima for the trial Of her
lover. Harry Pierpont, alleged "trig-
ger man" Of the gang.
Sure, I'd like to go, and I'm just
waiting to hear from his lawyers
and mine, to know whether they
think it would be safe" she said.
But if I went, and something were
to happen, they'd grab me again,
saving that I had something to do
with it.
And Mary wouldn't be surprised
if something were to happen BY
something" she indicated she
means a delivery, or an attempted
delivery, of Pierpont, Makley and
Clark from the jail at Lima, where
they are held pending trial on
charges of Staying Sheriff Jess
Sarber.
Johnnie and Harry think so
much of each other, there's moth
ing they wouldn't do to help each
other" she continued. L guess
every one is expecting Johnnie to
try to do something to get Harry
and the other boys out.
Doesn't Like Quiet Life
Released from the Marion county
Jail only last week. where she had
been held on charges that she had
aided members of the gang in their
escape, Mary admits that she is
bored with having nothing to do
I wish I could be where I knew
what is happening to them all, -
she said I sit here and wonder
about Johnnie-if he's being care
full. or taking the same foolish
chances that he took before he was
captured.
There was nothing that Johnnie
missed that he wanted to see. He
enjoyed the movie of the Three
Little Pigs and watched the diff
ferent movie houses in Chicago to
see where it would be shown next.
Come on he'd say, Let's go
there; I want to see the Three
Little Pigs again
The last day of the Worlds fair
in Chicago, Dillinger returned to

The literature of the Civil Service Repeal Association which
has been made public by Mr. Steward is sufficient to dscred

meanest job.
In a corner of the Senate
Office Building, man who
is somewhat of recluse holds
the job of chief indexer of the
Government Printing Office.
1t is his job to read carefully
the verbiage, the bunk and the
bosh that members of Congress
insert in the Congressional
Record while they are in Ses-
sion.
Page after page of slush for
home consumption must be
carefully read by the indexer.
He is Major Alfred P. Rob-

Years ago the job of chief
indexer was more or less of a
political position to which one
succeeded if he had political
backing. The job was easy then
for the chief indexer trusted
the work to his clerks. In the
old days it was a snap.
1t was in 1884 that Major
Robbins became clerk in the
office. 1t was his job to read
the Record then just as he
does now.
When he became chief index
clerk in 1920 he was so satu-
rated with the work that he
continued to read.
For so years his JOB has been
to read every word of the
Record. Most men or women
would long since have given
up the task of studying the arid
recordings therein. But Rob-

him. He AYERS:

The District has at least the form local government

That little bit of local government should be preserved It
should not be surrendered the Federal agencies

what the surrender will mean in the end.

managed obtain dominating influence in local affairs They
have assumed control of local offices and departments because
Of the supnene of local officials and the indifference of local
citizens
Their method of operation is simple.
They hold the lure increased appropriations by the

But the increased appropriations either not forthcoming

In city governed is Washington and serving the purpose
