TO BURY BARROW BESIDE BROTHER
Separate Services To Be Held For Outlaw
And His Sweetheart

DALLAS, Tev, May 25. U.P)-
Clyde Barrow, who said the police
wouldn't let them go straight after
he had killed a few of them, will
be buried today next to the body
of his brother, Buck Barrow, who
also had trouble with the police.
Buck Barrow was shot to death
in Iowa about a year ago. Clyde
escaped that time, but the bullets
he had been lodging caught up
with him Wednesday on a side
road in Louisiana.
Bonnie Parker, who convinced
Clyde she was as good hand in a
gun battle as a man, who was his
constant companion the last two
years, will be buried tomorrow.
Bonnie was with Clyde when the
officers ambushed his car, and she

BANDIT DIES
IN HO[D-UP
Attempt To Rob Chicago Bank
Halted By Accurate Shooting
OF Guard.

CHICAGO, May 25. U.P) One
bandit was killed in fusillade of
rifle shots and two of his compan-
ions we're wounded today during an
attempted holdup of the South Hol-
land Trust and Savings bank in
a suburb.
One of the wounded bandits was
in critical condition.
A third member of the gang,
running into a barrage of bullets as
he fled from the bank, crumpled
on the sidewalk and was carried to
the car in which the outlaws made
their escape.
Five men and woman were in
the car, small black sedan, which
drew up to the bank shortly after
opening time.
The slain bandit, who had an.
nounced to the four employees in
the bank that "this is a stick-up, "
fell with several bullets in his body
when bank guard, stationed in
a steel booth above the cashiers
cages, opened fire.
| In the steel booth was jacob De
Young, whose son was killed Feb
ruary 10 when bandits attempted to
hold up the bank.
After killing the first bandit De
Young fired again, dropping another
| of the gang.
The bandits, frantic in their eff
forts to get out of range of De
Young's gun, ran to the street where
they were met by more fire from two
vigilantes concealed behind tele-
phone poles and nearby buildings.
The third bandit, carrying a
sawed-off shotgun, fell to the
ground clutching his abdomen.
A companion, disregarding the
bullets flying at him from two sides,
stopped and tossed his wounded
companion over his shoulder and
carried him to the waiting sedan.
The raid on the South Holland
bank closely followed the murder
of two police officers at East Chi
cago, Ind, last night The two
communities are less than 20 miles
apart.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Pro-
tective naval and air bases should
be established on American islands
in the Pacific if Japan insists on
scrapping existing naval ratios,
Rep. Fred A. Britten, r., ILL.,, FORM
er chairman Of the house naval
affairs committee, told the United
Press today.
Britten cited recent statements
of Japanese officials that they will
seek larger navy at the naval
conference scheduled next year. He
included the Philippines among in
sular possessions which should be
further armed although they are
in process of achieving indepen-
dence.
American military bases in the
Philippines would be relinquished
upon independence. President
Roosevelt recommended, however
that the question of naval bases
be postponed for ultimate settle
ment ION terms satisfactory to
our own government and that OF
the Philippines Islands"
There is no clear reason why
Japan should be planning to get
larger naval ratio when the navy
treaties are reconsidered next year,
Britten told the United Press.

the prowler.
He was described as either a

This was the second prowler

be no threat to her from the
Chinese navy. The present ratio
with the other powers has been
satisfactory for some years.
1.-THE only conclusion is that she
plans to dominate the Pacific with
navy as great as any on earth.
"If that is Japan's intention,
then other powers in the Pacific
must ge in their guard that Japan
does not duplicate among their
possessions the methods she used
in Manchuria.
1.-The Philippines, Guam and
Hawaii would be an easy prey to
Japan's ruthless militarism. If
Japan insists on the navy policy
she now indicates, these possess
sions should be fortified for pro-
lection.
1--WE would develop air bases at
strategic locations in the Philip
pines. Hawaii should be strength
ened to the utmost and Guam con-
verted into another heligoland. 1t
would be advisable even to demand
that Japanese mandate islands in
the Pacific be transferred to us or
another power"
With chancellories of the naval
powers beginning preparations for
the naval conference, the Pacific
political situation is having its
effect upon the naval ratio queS-
ton. Great Britain and the United
States are expected to oppose
Japans demands for higher
ratio

WASHINGTON, May 25. - Con-
gress may get out of Washington
by June 8, but leaders admitted to-
day that seven bills having admin
istration support probably will have
to go by the boards to achieve that
adjournment date. 80
Those bills include the housing
program, Indian lf-government,
Gil production control, commodity
exchanges, food and drugs revision,
unemployment insurance and to-
bacco control.
Some of these are very privileged
legislation and may squeeze by, but
odds are against them. If any are
put on the must list adjournment
will be delayed at least a week af-
ter June 9, leaders assert.
The house has adjourned until
Monday after passing the bank de-
posit guarantee bill. That leaves
two weeks to dispose of the defi-
cheney bill and the communications
bill, and reach conference agree
ments on legislation
The senate delay on the tariff
bill was another hurdle in the way
Of adjournment. A vote was hoped
for by the middle of next week by
Joseph T. Robinson, majority lead
er.
Housing and Oil are confronted
with serious delays in the house.
The banking and currency commit
tee is in tangle over housing. The
interstate commerce committee had
a bloc bitterly opposed to giving
Harold IckeS, secretary of interior,
broad petroleum control
The Collier Indian bill is expected
to be reported favorably in revised
form next week but Chairman Ed
gar Howard saw little chance of ac-
ton.
Unemployment insurance is out
because of White House plans for q
broad survey of social legislation.
The tobacco control and food and
drugs measures have encountered
too much congressional controversy
to survive

house agricultural committee is de-
termined to get house action on the

BRITAIN AND
AMERICA PLAN
ARMS PARLEY
Will Hold Negotiations To Pre-
pare Way For 1885 Naval
Conference.
By FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent


LONDON, May 25.-The United
States government today agreed to
conduct naval limitations negotia-
tions with Great Britain, designed
to prepare the way for the 1885
naval conference and halt a world
arms race.
Immediately after announcement
Of the American negotiations, the
foreign office said invitations had
been sent to Japan, France and
Italy to conduct similar separate
negotiations with Britain. No re-
plies had been received from them.
Ray Atherton, veteran counsellor
Of the American embassy, visited
the foreign office at noon and Or
ally conveyed the American gov
ernment's IS readiness to discuss nav
al armamentS, with a view to
smoothing the path of the 1885
naval conference, a British source
disclosed.
An invitation to discuss naval
arms was sent to the American
embassy last weekend after more
than 10 days of cautious prepar-
alton in which Britain sounded out
not only the United States but
Japan.
A usually reliable source inform
ed the United Press that Japan
had limited its willingness to fore
go equality in battleships with the
United States and Britain if it
were conceded equality in light
cruisers.
Other Nations May Accept
How important is today's news
was indicated by revelation that
the British talks would
cover not only the time and place
for the 1885 conference but naval
ratios and all details of maritime
armamentS.
Primarily, the negotiations are
to be between the United States
and Great Britain.
The foreign office believed il
certain that Japan, France and It
ally would accept its invitation for
discussion. 1t was revealed the
immediate purpose of the talks is
to decide on program as we'll as
the time and place of the general
1885 naval conference.
London was foremost among the
capitols mentioned, especially as
the United States wants to avoid
having it at Washington because
chances Of its success are so du-
biouS.
WASHINGTON, May 25. W.P) =
The United States has informed
Great Britain of its willingness to
enter into naval conversations pre-
liminary to the 1885 naval confer
ence, the state department revealed
today.
This information was conveyed to
the British government in response
to a verbal approach from England
No date has yet been set for the
conversations to begin and few of
the details have been worked out.
It was learned, however, that they
will be purely informal in charac-
ter.

Hold Hope of Ending Longshoremen's Stike
nkM!LL-.o


BEVERLY HILLS, May "a.
(SpeciaD-The government is
trying to fix silver, gold, Wall
street, tariffs, how much to
plant and a thousand other
problems. Yet the greatest and
most urgent need in our land
now is the settlement Of
strikes. It's SO far above the
needs of any other legislation
that there is no comparison.
Can't the government make
arbitration compulsory? Every
body knows that there is wrong
everybody knows there are
Strikes with just cause and
some that are not-the labor
union, one man. The man that
hires him one man and the
government one man. 1t looks
like the side that wouldn't
agree to that, there is some
thing wrong with. Let every
body stay on the job during ar
bitration.
If they get the raise of
wages, it starts back from the
day the complaint was made.
If that was fixed, all those
other things wouldn't need fix
ing.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25. U.p)
Edward F. Grady, assistant secre-
tary of labor, today said he saw
hope of settling the coastwide long
shoremen's strike by tomorrow
night
His comment followed the an
nouncement of Joseph P. Ryan,
head of the international Long
shoremen's association that he saw
no reason why settlement cannot
be reached through recognition of
the union by the ship operators with
preference given to union men
in the matter of employment"
At the same time mass meeting
of the strikers voted full power to
the district executive committee to
settle the strike. 1t also voted to re-
turn to work when settlement is
reached in the longshoremens dis
pute, regardless of whether similar
disputes involving other marine and
waterfront workers are in progress,
providing there are government ia
cilities for arbitration of the other
strikes.
President Ryan Of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's association,
who arrived here last night from
New York, went into conference late
in the morning with the executive
board of the Longshoremers asso-
citation and members of the presi-
dents special arbitration board.
McGrady revealed that during the
morning he had been in telephone
conversation with the White House,
discussing strike developments. He
also confirmed reports that strikers
had approved release of food ship
for Alaska. All government ships
will be cleared, he added.
After a conference with labor
leaders, a meeting was called at the
Matson building to discuss terms
with ship owners representatives.
Ryan, the I. L. A. president, said
the men were standing pat on de-
mand for union operation Of hiring
halls.
