George (''Eddie") Dorm, night club
crooner turned blind pigger, was
killed today in what police said
was an attempt by purple gang
sters" to re-establish themselves in
Detroit's underworld.
Police revealed at the same
time that Dorm had been ques-

slain, in the murder yesterday of
Edward Pearl, Chicago jewelry
salesman. He admitted knowing
Pearl.
Dorm was shot in the back as
he fled his blind pig during a gun
battle. He was found lying on a
sidewalk near his place, known
as 'Eddie's Hideaway."
Behind was a trail of open
doors leading into the barroom
of the place. Walls Of the room
were pock-marked with bullets.
One hour after the killing,
Harry Sutton. member Of the
notorious purple gang" stumbled
into a hospital and collapsed
from a bullet in the groin. Police
said he was shot in the gun
battle at "Eddie's Hideaway'' but
Sutton's only answer was that

"It started with the old kiosk

BYRNS FIGHTS
HOUSING BILL
REVISION
Majority Leader Says House
Will Restore Mortgage
Association Clause
BY WILLIAM. S. NEAL
International News Service

Representative Joseph Byrns Of
Tennessee, Democratic House
leader, today assumed leadership
in the fight to restore the Admin.
iStration housing bill to its origi.
nal form.
Representative Byrns predicted
that the House would approve an
amendment restoring title two,
which provides for national mort
gage associations, and eliminate q
banking committee plan to carry
out the building program through
existing build ing and loan
agencies.
!. N. S. Confirmed
The decision of Representative
Byrns as Democratic leader to
make a fight was accepted as con.
firmation of the International
News Service story of yesterday
that President Roosevelt had in
tervened in the fight.
Speaker Rainey said he under.
stood the President was displeased
with the bill in its present form.
Support Grows
A surge Of loyalty to the Ad-
ministration was apparent as the
measure, which will put Govern
ment billions behind a vast build
ing program, neared a decisive
test.
The big fight centers on the
committees action in eliminating
a provision of the original bill
establishing national mortgage
associations with a capital of not
less than $5,000,000. Instead the
committee proposed to put 500
millions into established building
and loan associations to encour.
age home construction, repair
and modernization.
Representative Prall CD Of
New York prepared to offer an
amendment restoring the original
provision for mortgage associa-
tions.
Bitter Debate
Debate over the committees re.
vision of the bill continued to be
bitter. While the committee was
charged with yielding to the
building and loan lobby" it's mem.
bers assailed the Administration
bill as a plan to "bail out rich
mortgage holders at the expense
of the taxpayers"
Big city delegations were jubi-
liant over their victory on the
amendment, which would permit
insurance of mortgages on slum
clearance projects. The fight
was led by the New York city
delegation with the hope that
slum areas could be replaced with
modern, low-cost artment
houses.

President Roosevelt should initiate
q new debt discussion.
Throwing the ball back to the
debtors, Mr.. Hull declared "a sit
uation of this kind necessarily
calls for the initiation Of pro-
posals by the debtor and not by
the creditor"
He furthermore questioned the
right of the British government
to link its debts to this country
with the debts owed it by other
European powers.
Debts Independent
Declaring this Government must
emphasize the complete independ-
ence of the debts which Britain
owes the American taxpayers, Mr..
Hull said:
"The British government un.

name and on its own credit

not made contingent upon the
fate of debts due to the British
government"
Mr.. Hull also told the British
government it was wrong in as
Suming it would be in default un-
less it paid 262 million dollars
the total amount on which it Is
in arrears.
He said it could escape default
by making full payment on the
IS millions due June IS. In view
of this assurance, word was
awaited from London as to
whether Britain might change its
mind on the question of default.
Meanwhile, French Ambassador
Andre de Ia Boulaye delivered TO

ThreefoId Gain in HoIdups Is
Cited at Convention Here to
Show the Need of Action

If society is to continue to
exist, criminals Of the John Dill
linger type, gangsters, and
racketeers, must be eliminated
by scientific methods.
This declaration was made by
Robert B. McGaw, president OF
the Hampden Savings Bank,
Springfield, Mass, and chairman
Of the protective committee, Sav.
ings Banks Association of Massa'
chusetts, before delegates at the
convention of the American In
stitute of Banking in session here
today.
RObberies Increasing
Mr.. McGaw said bank ban
ditry in the last decade has in
creased 800 per cent in spite OF
a. marked decrease in the mum
ber Of banks in operation.
He said:
From 129 attacks in 1923,
we have jumped the record to
554 daylight rObberies in 1892.
What can we in the banking
field do to prevent this rising
tide of lawIessness? We in
Massachusetts decided to form
q protective committee for the
purpose Of giving study to the
situation which faced the cOun-
try at large"
The speaker said he visited Ger
tain banks at $3.50 a. m. and
found the doors and windows
open and unprotected.
He said:
"Well, I walked in, found a.
hat and coat lying on a Settee,
stood around three or four min
utes, and finally an elderly
man came up and asked me
what / wanted, saying the bank
did not open until o'clock.
I thanked him and walked out"
Doors Tied With String
Mr.. McGaw said the time lock
on the bank ran down from z to
8 a. m. Also he said he found
cage doors tied back with string
and grilles fastened the same way.
He added:
"A bank is exposed to danger
"a hours q day and the danger
comes from keen minds alert to
notice weak spots. In fact, one
Of our inspectors, in one in
stance, knocked on the back
door of q bank at 1880 a. m.
and was rewarded by having the
janitOr open the door and en-
gage in conversation with him."
Guns, he said, IN the hands OF
tellers would be of some value
where the employees have beer
drilled in their use.
Bullet-proof glass should be in
stalled in banks, he said, and
alarm buttons plentifully scat
tered about, so arranged as not
to be set off by mistake.

Swanson Hints Secret
Explosive At Fault

A sample of a high explosive
for which the Navy Department
had requested bids may have been
responsible for the crash of the
American airliner atop Dunmead
Mountain, N. Y, which caused the
loss of seven lives, Secretary Of
the Navy Swanson disclosed to-
day.
The Secretary said it was pos
sible that William B. Bader Of
Buffalo, a chemist for the Sum-
NIT Solvay Company, who was
killed in the crash, may have
been carrying a sample Of the
explosive for which the Navy De-
partment had sent out bids. The
Summit Solvay Company was one
Of the firms to whom bids were
sent.
However, Swanson said lie did
not know of any secret naval
papers Baber might have been
carrying unless they were the
specifications for this explosive.
