the commission has 205 CWA men
at work on park development
work.
The funds for purchasing park

j. s. To CREATE
MUSEUM FOR
GANG. GUNS
Tremendous Public Interest
in Weapons Leads to Ver-
mont Ave. Display

Because Of the tremendous in
terest the public has manifested
in firearms and weapons used by
gangsters, the Department Of
Justice has decided to create a
museum in Washington, ]. Edgar
Hoover, director Of the division Of
investigation, announced today.
For the present, the museum
will be established in the waiting
room Of the building on Vermont
Avenue, but in May, when the
Department of Justice is sched-
uled to move to it's new quarters
at Ninth st. and Pennsylvania
Ave-, the museum will occupy a
specially constructed room.
Thugs Guns Displayed
At present there are several
guns used by hoodlums in their
battles with the law on display in
the Department of Justice build
ing. Within two weeks these will
be supplemented by the exhibition
OF three new show cases of scar
tainted weapons.
The cellar of the old Southern
Railway building, Thirteenth st.
and Pennsylvania Ave., where
branch Of the Department of JUS
tice maintains offices, soon will
be jammed with souvenirs of gun
mems battles. These collections
represent an accumulation of ar
ticles beginning last summer and
they will be on display within
two weeks.
Kelly no Gunner
Probably the most interesting
item to be stored in the cellar yet
is a red female wig taken from
Kathryn Kelly, wife of the notorl-
Gus "Machine-Gun" Kelly, who
was convicted in the Urschel kid
naping. Kelly, incidentally, has
not the slightest notion of how to
use a machine gun, Hoover said
today. Inmates in LeavenWorth
have given him the sobriquet of
"blabbermouth."
The thermos cup and tin can
in which was hidden part of the
Urschel ransom money, two auto
matte rifles, cevolver and
butcher knife, constitute the re-
mainder of the gangsters' articles,
Weapons Collected
Recently an order was sent by
the Department Of Justice to it's
Is offices throughout the country
to send firearms and weapons
used by gunmen to Washington so
they can be added to the museum.
Hoover said today his office is
deluged with inquiries concerning
the type Of weapon used every
time a battle between police and
Department Of Justice agents is
reported. To obviate answering
numerous questions like these, the
museum will be set up.

Mew Diphtheria
Claims TwO
In County

MOUNT AIRY, Md. Jan. 2.
Diphtheria of the type which
caused the death of one person
in this community, and from
which five others are now i'm
proving, is a new kind. accord
ing to DR.. Benjamin C. Perry,
bacteriologist Of the State Health
Department.
This type, which has never
been found in Carroll county
before, was noted in the western
part of the State several months
ago, according to DR.. Perry.
The new type is very contagious,
probably more so than ordinary
diphtheria. and grown people
are as susceptible to it as chill
dren, the doctor stated.

6, D. P. IN MOVE
FOR PEACE IN
SPLIT RANKS
Bid To Cutting, LaFoIIette
And Others Seen In Word
From Leader McNary

Significance was attached today
in political circles to the an
nouncement last night by Sena-
tor Charles L. McNary, Senate mi
nority leader, of a new Republican
senatorial campaign committee
for the election fight this year.
It was the first definite move
made by the Republicans to gather
their forces since their defeat last
year, and was taken as an indi-
cation that an attempt will be
made to organize into a single
group what have been looked upon
as the various wings" of the
G. o. P.
Peace Offer Seen
Since it was announced by Sen
ator McNary that there will be
no discrimination with respect to
the definition of the word Repub-
licanism," the announcement was
viewed generally to be a peace Of
fer to such independents" as
Senators Cutting of New Mexico,
La Toilette of Wisconsin, and
Johnson of California.
Makeup of Committee
The new committee is composed
of Senators Daniel o. Hastings of
Delaware, chairman; j. L. Dickin-
son. Iowa; Arthur Capper, Kansas;
Peter Norbeck, South Dakota;
Gerald Nye, North Dakota; Fred
erick Steiwer. Oregon; Robert
Carey. wyoming; Wallace White,
Maine, and Warren Barbour, New
Jersey.
Since it is almost foregone
conclusion that the Democrats
will hold their control of the Sen
ate following the elections this
year, it appears that the new COM
mittee will undertake primarily to
aid in returning at least as many
Republicans as are now in the
Senate, and will, of course, seek
to make gains in that body.

MADE TO ORDER VETO

What is now in the wind among Administration leaders in Congress is an attempt to work out a com promise on the economy cure for Veterans which migh avert the necessity of Presidential veto of the bonus payment bill. There is no uncertainty that there will be veto if that bill passes. When and if it's passage is assured in the face of that, the further strat- egy taking shape is to load the bill with riders to such an extent as to afford the President several good grounds for veto.
 Just what form those additions would take is not indicated The purpose, however, would be to di- vert attention from the bonus matter solely and give Democrats who felt compelled to vote for the bill originally an opportunity to get back aboard the Roosevelt band wagon by voting to sustain veto
