FLINT, Mich, May 18.-Machine
gun bandits, one described as John
Dillinger. held up the Glenwooo
Avenue branch of the Citizens ano
Commercial Savings Bank today anc
fed with $4,000.
Another $4,000 In cash, hidden
few minutes previously, escaped
the bandits notice.
The trio apparently trailed an
armored car which had delivered
100000 in pay roll money only a
few minutes before the holdup. They
broke through a police net which
had been thrown about the neigh
borhood when officers were tipped
that several stores in the vicinity
were marked"
Witness Names DiIlinger
One of ten witnesses to the hold
up was positive Dillinger was among
the bandits. Police Immediately
linked his statement with reports
that the outlaw had established
headquarters in Chicago, planning
widespread forays in search for
needed funds
Dillinger also was reported en-
route to st. Paul to free his sweet
heart, Evelyn Frechette, from police
custody.
State and local police hastily
erected road blockades hoping to
trap the gang. repeatedly including
five men and woman all heavily
armed.
Barriers Thrown Up
On the Michigan Ohio Indiana
border state police threw up heavy
barriers which they had planned for
weeks in anticipation of such an
emergency. Every outlet from Mich
igan south was guarded. On the
north state police guarded the only
escape-a state operated ferry at the
Straits of Mackinac.
The bandits, unmasked, walked
into the lobby of the bank about 10
a. m.
Stick EN- up commanded one of
the trio He waved his machine
gun menacingly.
Bandit Leaps Grill
Six customers and four employees
of the bank complied quickly. One
of the bandits, carrying an auto
matte pistol, climbed over the grill
before the cashiers cage and leaped
to the floor
After making certain that none of
the employees or customers was at
tempting an escape, the bandit be-
hind the grill showed stacks of
money across the counter to another
bandit in the lobby.

ROOSEVELT TO
ASK NEW DEAL
FORLABORERS
Security Against Poverty
and Unemployment Is
Presidents Aim.
PERMANENCE IS GOAL
Committee to Study Social
Legislation and Give
Congress Report.
BVI Hffed Press

BIZ rifed Press
WASHINGTON. May 18-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message on social
legislatio which may be one of
his most significant documents. IS
expected to call for the designing
of new pattern of life for the la
boring man.
The joint congressional committee,
which it is anticipated he will ask
to study social legislation. will be
intrusted, it was understood. with
evolving a permanent program TO
give the millions of toilers security
against unemployment and poverty
in old age.
The program would be the basis
of legislation in the next congress.
Social legislation apparently has
been sidetracked for this session in
line with the Presidents wish for a
balanced and unified permanent
federal program.
The special house senate commit
tee is expected TO consist of four
members from each chamber. 1t
probably will collaborate through
the summer with Labor Secretary
Frances Perkins and Relief Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins.
Purposes Are Varied
Unemployment insurance, old age
pensions, workmen's compensation
and the vast problem of finding jobs
for all in the machine age, comprise
the paramount detectives involved.
A co-ordinated federal and state
unemployment and sickness insur-
ance plan will probably be consid-
cred. undoubtedly along the lines
of the sidetracked Wagner-Lewis
bill, which the President favors in
principle"
The measure calls for an excise
tax of from to per cent on
industrial pay rolls. Miss Perkins
has estimated a ) per cent levy
would raise s1.0O0.O00,0O0 even in a
depression year for insurance bene-
fit purposes. Under this plan en-
ployers could make deductions if
contributing to a state insurance
system.
Checks on Depression
The Dill-COnnery old age pension
bill is likely to be the basis for old
age aid legislation. It calls for fed
eral aid to states cooperating to
establish certain standards. of old
age security At present twenty
eight states have old age pension
laws.
Relief Administration Harry l..
Hopkins has estimated that 100000
900 aged people now being cared for
either through charity or state,
county and federal aid eventually
will have to be taken care of by a
direct pension system.
The long range Social-aid pro-
gram would be designed to prevent
the nation from encountering in the
future serious depression periods.
The unemployment insurance re-
serves. and pensions would act as
safety valves by keeping purchasing
power at a near normal level. when
a bad business period begins to
develop.

CHICAGO, May 10. - Another
weekend of broiling suns and
cloudless skies loomed today for the
drought stricken western farm belt.
Only isolated light showers, the
weather bureau said, will break the
period of rainless weather which
since the first of the year has
drained subsoil of reserve moisture

AN EDITOR MODS

Few newspapers have a more erudite
or clever editorial staff than has the good
old Boston Transcript, and there are few
whose editorials are more widely quoted.
But it has one editorial writer whose erudi-
ton has not kept pace with his cleverness,
or If it has he nodded sadly in recent
piece on ''Is Spring Misnomer.'
Recalling the fact that the method of
determining the date of Easter was estab-
lished by the Council of Nice in the year
325, his subsequent comment Enthusiastically
shows that he believes that notable event
took place at Nice, France.
But ne is wrong. The Council of 1876
was convened by the Emperor Constantine
at Nice Cor Nicaea) in Asia Minor. The
principal question before the Council was
whether God and Jesus Christ are of the
same essence, and it's decision was in the
affirmative. Arius Of Alexandria and his
followers maintained that there is a differ
ence between the Father and the Son, the
latter being in sense secondary.
Our editorial brother of the Transcript
appears to have his history on straight, but
in the instance cited his geography is off
some 1890 miles.

PERFECT BRIDGE HANDS

Every once in while We read of
someone holding perfect bridge hand,
consisting of all IS cards in certain suit.
Such an extraordinary occurrence may be
accounted for in two ways-either the
cards were stacked, or somebody lied. At
least, that is what must happen in so per
cent of the reported cases. Il ,.s II
- OF course. the dealing Of a perfect
hand after legitimate shuttle is not inn
possible, but the chance of any honestly
dealt hands consisting of an entire suit is
/ in 15S, 753, 100000 The improbability
OF holding such hand is illustrated by a
computation showing that if each of the
10000, 600 bridge players in the United
States were to play Is hands every day.
according to- the law of averages solid
suit would be dealt only once in three
years.
1t also has been figured out that when
cards are properly shuffled each player
should get singleton every three hands. a
6-caFd suit every six hands. 7-card suit
every e hands. and a void suit every 20
hands.
The above figures were worked out
BY Prof. Woodruff Of Boston Tech, who has
Invented a card shutting machine which
win deal pack into hands of the ideal
random type in four seconds. He has also
figured the number of ways in which the
81 cards may be arranged. II anyone
would like to see what such a number looks
like. let him write $1,000 and add 50
ciphers. Then try to read il.

POLITICS AND RELIGION

Theoretically, according to our con-
stitution, no religious test is permitted as a
qualification for public office. Prac-
tically, we know that candidates reli-
gion, or lack of it, frequently does cut a
considerable figure.
For example, when James G. Blaine
ran as the Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1884 the fact that his mother
was a Catholic was used against him, and
when in an indiscreet moment his friend
Rev. Burchard referred to the Democrats
as representing 'rum, Romanisn and re-
beliion," the tables were turned against
Blaine. Cleveland carried New York and
won the election.
The case of Mr.. Blaine's father, Eph-
rain Blaine, who ran for the office of
court clerk in 1913, is not so well known.
He was opposed on the ground that his
wife was Catholic, and it was even
charged that he was of that faith. So, the
elder Blaine got certificate from the vii
lage priest, Father Murphy, which read:
This is to certify that Ephriam Blaine
is not now and never was member of the
Catholic Church; and furthermore, in my
opinion, he is not fit to be member of
any church." ss s.. .s.,.ts,
This apparent disapproval by the
priest was effective and Mr.. Blaine was
triumphantly elected.
