Gary Educator 'Kidded' at
Party, Ex-Brain Trust
Member Says.
By United Press

By United Press
PRINCETON, N. j., April 9.-Dr.
William A. Writ learned about the
terrible brain trust scandal when
some of the administration workers
"kidded" him at party, Adolph A.
Berle, former member of the brain
trust said in an interview pub
lished in the Daily Princetonian, I'M
dergraduate publication.
I've just heard the inside story"
Mr.. Berle, now city chamberlain of
New York, was quoted as telling the
Princetonian reporter. THE good
doctor was at a party with some
of the boys who are connected with
things down in Washington. DR..
Writ started asking a few Ques-
tions about the Roosevelt revolu-
ton he was hearing so much about.
They were all in pretty good
spirits"
The administration men, the in
terview quoted Mr.. Berle as saying,
conf1ded that Roosevelt was
Kerensky. They said he was just
waiting for the right time to start
his revolution. After two years,
there would be a Stain who would
take over the government"
DR.. Writ, Mr.. Berle said, insisted
On being informed who the Stain"
was to be.
SO having led him thus far, they
decided to take him for a good long
ride, and said solemnly 'Rexford G..
TUgwell is the man." Mr.. Berle
said
THAT story is on the level" the
former brain trust member said.
Mr.. Berle denied that any breach
existed between President Roosevelt
and Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson, saying there was little
likelihood of the latter's immediate
resignation.
Lets explode that brain trust
myth right now" he told the Prince
tonian reporter. There is no such
thing. Between election and inau-
guration, Hugh johnson, Raymond
Moley, Charley Taussig, Rex Tug
well and myself, who frequently con-
suited with the President in our
official capacity as the research
committee of the Democratic party
were dubbed the brain trust.
Since there is no place in our
government for a kitchen cabinet,
we five broke up the night before
Inauguration.
I'VE have not been in the same
room together since.
Nov, any one who is seen talking
with the President immediately is
dubbed another one of the brain
trust"

Rainey Scores Writ

~ Htted Press
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Speak-
er of the House Henry T. Rainey
said today he was turning over to
the red plot" investigating COM
mittee documents" issued by DR..
William A. Writ two years ago
which he said showed DR.. Writ then
favored a recovery program along
the lines of the new DEAL
There is nothing we are doing
now which he did not favor in
1892" said Speaker Rainey.
The Writ investigating committee
picked the elaborate new caucus
room of the house office building
for the hearing.
Speaker Rainey said that Writ "in
an interesting document issued two
years ago, favored the exact present
farm program and deyaluation of
the gold dollar. But now he says
it is all communistic."
Mr.. Rainey said the document
was three typewriter copyrighted
articles prepared by DR.. Writ and
edited painstakingly with pencil.
He sent me one two years ago
and I have it now" said the
Speaker.

and her family Saturday from $50
Daley street to sic Luett avenue
also was regarded suspiciously by
the state police, who, with federal
agents. raided Mrs. Kinder's home
late Sunday night. Another raid
was conducted on the home of HUI
bert Dillinger, half-brother of the
desperate, on the same night.
Mrs. Kinder did not attempt to
conceal her anger when police
searched the new home, upsetting
bureau drawers and ransacking
closets and obscure spots in the
cellar. The raiders were armed with
state, bench and federal warrants
for the arrest and incarceration of
one John Dillinger, fugitive from
justice"
DiIlnger Luck, Says Leach
At the time of the accident with
Dillinger's car, Joseph Manning of
Peru, with his wife and sister-in-
law. was driving from Kokomo in
small touring car. About fifteen
miles south of Kokomo on Road 81,
the Manning car was struck by the
speeding Hudson and the left rear
wheel ripped off the car.
The Hudson, Swerving, continued
up the road for about seventy-five
yards and suddenly lurched off the
concrete and hurtled a ditch. 1t
plowed through a wooded place on
the west side of the road, missing
stumps and trees and ending its
ride about hundred yards from
the side of the road.
After viewing the wreck, Captain
Leach said.
1T must have been Dillinger. No
body else could have that much
luck. In that field were some of the
biggest Stumps I've ever seen. The
Hudson didn't touch one of them
going through the field. Any other
car would have been wrecked COM
pletely before it had gone ten
feet"
Captain Leach said that only two
men were in the car, contradicting
the first statement that five men
were IN the Hudson.
City Robbery Fooled
After the accident, the two men
stripped the car of all identifying
marks and walked back to the
wrecked car on the road, which Mr..
Manning and his family we're sadly
contemplating.
You folks hurt?" asked one of
the men now believed to be Dill
linger.
Mr.. Manning replied in the mega
tive and the two men left them
abruptly, one taking the road to-
ward indianapolis and the other
making for the woods west of the
road
Search for Dillinger in Indian
apolis Saturday night was marked
by heavy police concentration in
front of Drinks Express, Washing
ton and Pennsylvania street, where
several large pay rolls totalhaz
thousands of dollars were kept dur
ing the weekend.
Plans of Dillinger to rob the ex-
press company, as reported from I'M
oerWorld sources, were apparently
frustrated by the wrecking of his
car at Noblesville earlier in the day.

MURRAY FLAYS~
JURY'S COUNSEL
Doubts Smiths Right to
Appear; Puts OF Case
Until Friday, 18th.

By United Press
CROWN POINT, Ind, April g.
The amazing situation of a Crane
jury cited for contempt by the same
Judge who ordered it to get to the
bottom" of John Dillinger's escape
this afternoon became a lega
enigma.
Judge william j. Murray of the
Lake county criminal court, who
brought contempt charges against
his own grand jury, refused to rec
ognize the jurors attorney. He
agreed reluctantly to four-day de-
lay in the hearing-until Friday the
thirteenth.
The grand jury, six bewildered
farmers and small town merchants
came into court with an imposing
array of attorneys, headed by
Martin j. Smith, special prosecutor
before the grand jury with creden-
tails from Judge Murray.
With him were Edward j. BARGE,
deputy attorney general, and Joseph
w. Hutchinson, sent here from Indi-
annapolis by Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt.
Mr.. Smiths power to act was at
tackled at the outset of the proceed
ings.
you think you have a legal right
to appear?" Judge Murray asked.
Il don't know why the grand jury
shouldn't have counsel of its own
choosing,'t Mr.. Smith answered.
But not by states attorney" the
judge interrupted.
Mr.. BARGE and Mr.. Hutchinson
are officers of Governor McNutt
who also was severely criticised in
this report, Judge Murray said
The grand jury went clear across
the state OF Indiana without any
provocation to lay part of the re-
sponSibility for this break on the
executive department"
Judge Murray also revealed that
he will attempt to bring out that
the grand jury'S report was dictated
by States Attorney Robert G.. Estil
and Mr. Smith, and that the report
was changed after the grand jurors
signed it.

JONES OPPOSES U. S.
BANK LOSS PAYMENTS

Mcleod Bill.

WASHINGTON. April 9-Strong
opposition to pending bills provid-
ing payment of government money
to depositorS in closed banks was ex-
pressed today by Chairman Jesse
Jones, chairman of the reconstfuc-
ton finance corporation.
Mr.. Jones estimated full payment
to depoSitors of closed banks would
cost the treasury more than $780,
100000.
He opposed the Mcleod bill, pro-
viding for payment to depositorS in
closed federal reserve member banks
and to proposals for payment to
depositors in all closed banks. Either
of these proposals, Mr.. Jones said,
is hard to justify"

Meanwhile, federal opera
tives, state policemen and
city police deployed on raids
in various parts of Indian
apolis, where the gangster is
thought to be hiding.
State policemen under detective
Vernon Shields searched several
houses on the north side today in
a search for Pearl Elliott, Kokomo
associate of the gang, who also IS
believed hiding in Indianapolis. The
search for the woman proved futile.
Presence of Dillinger in or near
indianapolis first was disclosed by
The Times when an informant told
this newspaper he had seen the
desperate in haywood, a suburb
west of the city.
AS the concentrated man hunt
around indianapolis assumed large
proportions today, towns in va
rious parts of Indiana called on
the state police for protection, fear
ing raids by the gangster on local
banks. Police of Anderson called
for reinforcementS of state police
today.
Newcastle Is Warned
Warnings to banks in Newcastle,
where the huge pay roll of the
ChrysIer plant is banked each week,
we're broadcast by the state police
today.
From underworld sources, the
state police learned today that Dill
fingers purpose in attempting to
enter indianapolis is for confer
ence with Mary Kinder, wife OF
Harry Pierpont, former terror mob
member awaiting execution in the
Columbus co. penitentiary Friday,
July 10.
Mrs. Kinder'S movements recently,
according to Captain Matt Leach
of the state police, have been
cloaked in mystery. In an interview
Saturday with Lieutenant Butler,
Mr.. Kinder admitted that she had
visited Pierpont at Columbus last
week and reported MIN in despair
ing mood.
Mrs. Kinder denied to Lieutenant
Butler that she had seen Dillinger
in indianapolis recently but ad-
mitted, according to the state po-
liceman, that she would like to see
him, as Pierpont is broke and needs
funds to press the appeal of his re-
cent trial, in which he was sentenced
to Gle in the electric chair, to the
Ohio supreme court and, if neces-
sary, the United States Supreme
court. Basis of the appeal, it was
learned, will be persecution claimed
from the presence of soldiers around
the Lima 90 Jail during his trial
and that of Charles Makley and
Russell Clark.
Hopes to Free Pals
From underworld sources The
Times learned that Dillinger still
is confident Of effecting the re-
lease OF his henchmen from the
Ohio prison. 1t is reported that
he planned to commit several hold
ups in or near indianapolis 10 raise
the necessary funds.
Il can not understand why Dill
linger should attempt to come to
indianapolis, where he realizes
things are hot for him. Cap
tain Leach said today. But the
finding of the car near Noblesville
proves that either he or some of his
gang were here. I think Dillinger
is trying to get a new gang together
and to raise funds for Pierpont and
the Others"

new TAX BILL
IS IN DANGER
House Election Greed Held
Likely to Undermine
Senator's Work.
PRESSURE ON HARRISON
ProgresSives Are Fighting to
Prevent Yielding in
Secret Session.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Senate
liberals, although winning accept
ance of many of their tax proposals
by Chairman Pat Harrison of the
senate finance committee, are fear
full of what may happen to the bill
between senate passage and White
House signature.
The suave Mississippi senator,
who seems to be willing to compro-
mise on most anything in order to
end the tax debate, has the upper
hand.
He will head the senate con-
fereeS who are to meet with house
conferees and make the final de-
cision as to what is to remain in
and what is to be taken out of the
bill.
With house Democratic leaders
protesting against the additional
taxes championed by the senate lib
erals. it is not hard to understand
why such senators as La Toilette,
Couzens and Clark fear that their
work may be undone in the secrecy
of the conference room.
House Is FESTIVE
This is election year, always a
poor year for tax legislation, and
house Democrats are FESTIVE. They
don't want to make any of their
taxpaying constituents mad so close
to election day. All of the ABS
members of the house face re-elec-
ton fights. Only one-third of the
senate is up for reelection.
All of the strategy of the senate
liberal bloc is now being directed
toward forcing Senator Harrison
and the others who will serve as
the senate conferees to make a real
fight for the senate amendments,
calculated to increase revenues
from the bill from S258000,O00 to
$470,00O 900.
One amendment the senate is
believed certain to adopt is that
sponsored by Senator Clark Dem.,
Mo- removing the tax exemption
now extended to government secur-
tiles. This same amendment was
approved by the senate last year
and sent to conference.
1t was reported at the time that
when Senator Harrison led the
senate conferees into the confer
ence room he saluted the house
conferees by announcing glibly:
THE senate yields on the Clark
amendment"
Wants Record Vote
Senator Clark does not intend that
that shall happen again. He will oe
satisfied with nothing less than a
record vote on his amendment by
the full membership of the house.
Neither last year nor this year did
the house get a chance to vote on
this.
Senators CouzenS and La Toilette
also are insisting that their income
tax and inheritance tax amend
ments be something more than mere
propositions that Senator Harrison
can compromise into the bill on the
senate floor and out of the bill in
the conference room.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE HOT
TREE

In the woods, not far from Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow,
grew fir tree. The rabbit gentle
man knew the fir tree well, and he
also knew that though it had the
name of fir, it wasn't the same kind
of fur that grows on a pussy cat.
The name was not spelled the same,
as you can see.
The tree spelled its name FIR.
The soft covering on a pussy cat
is spelled FUR.
Years ago trees like this were
called FIRE TREES because the
wood in them made such good fires.
But in time the name came TO be
FIR instead Of FIRE and so, to-day.
we call it 2 fir tree.
One day, when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping through the woods, looking
for an adventure and twinkling his
pink nose TO show how happy ne
was, ne heard a soft sort of signing
voice saying:
oh, dear. I'm so hot
MY goodness thought the rab-
bit gentleman, Il hope that it isn't
one Of the Bad Chaps. This is a
