LINCOLN STATUE
BASE STARTED
Funds Left 80 Years Ago
Used for University
Park Memorial.

Foundation and granite base for
the Lincoln statue, to be erected in
the southeast corner of University
park, is under construction today by
the Elliott-Myers Construction Com
pany.
The statue, which will cost $10,-
900, will be paid for by trust fund
left by Henry G. Long, wealthy
lumberman, who died more than
thirty years ago and left the fund
specifically for the statue.
Park boards of the past have de-
clined to utilize the money on the
theory that it would not harmonic
with the park.
The present park board obtained
the money and turned the project
over to the Indiana World War Me-
mortal commission.
Henry Herring, New York sculptor,
prepared models of the statue. The
base bid was awarded on a $1,000
contract. Red granite, from Cold
Springs, Mimi, will be used. The
statue will be life-Size and of
bronze. 1t will be brought to Indi-
annapolis from New York later in the
summer.

Conflicting reports on John Dill

supposed hidden grave of the des-
perado in southern Indiana today
on orders of Melvin H. Purvis, head

hiding in another federal district,
which has no copy of the warrant.
Meanwhile thirty indianapolis po-
licemen armed with Submachine
guns surrounded the Merchants Ma

roneous report was received that
Dillinger and his gang were robbing
the bank.
Nettled by reports that citizens
had asserted they had seen Dillinger
near Indianapolis, during the 500
mile auto race, Al Feeney, state
safety director asked:
why don't these people notify
the police when they think they see
Dillinger or some member of his
gang?"
Mr. Feeney was unable to verify
reports that John Hamilton, chief
lieutenant of the Dillinger gangsters,
was seen in the Claypool lobby

Feeney and Guyon, Former Grid Pals,
SWAP Insults in Statehouse Talk
One-Time AII-AmeriCa Stars

Way Back When.

Old times together when they

worlds professional football cham
pions were recalled when Joe
Guyon, all-time all-America In
diana star, and Al Feeney, state
safety director and an all-America
himself, got together at the state
house.
Guyon, now baseball coach of
of the famous Canton back field of
Jim Thorpe, Pete Calak of Carlisle,
and Griggs of Texas, when Feeney
played center for Canton.
Six feet and 200 pounds of athlete,
Guyon looks like he still could get
the current generation of football
players what a back can do.
Insults" Exchanged
Irish and Indian faces split with
grins when the first remember
when?" was asked.
There was the usual exchange of
insults when old friends get to-
gether.
Looks like Dillinger has given you
gray hair, AL" said Guyon, who
really can grin from ear to ear in
a wholesouled expression of amia-
bility.
Yeah, you'd have gray hair, too,"
countered Feeney, 'if you didn't
have an old Indian hair dye recipe"
Toughest Game Recalled
Remember the toughest game we
ever won with Canton, AL, when
we called you out of the line into
the back field?" asked Guyon.
AL remembered.
I'VE were playing the Buffalo ALL
Americans at Buffalo," recalled
Guyon, land they wouldn't play us
unless we bet.
boy, no foolin', the mud was a
foot thick on that field and none
of us backs could get loose. Jim
(Thorpe) couldn't get going because
he couldn't get his legs off the
ground and Calak and Griggs and
were the same way.
Such Is Fame
well, sir, We worked the ball
down to about fifteen yards finally
and we called Al back from center
to kick. He booted her-and it was
just like kicking lump of lead.

DICTAT0RS RUIN
EUROPE'S HOPE,
COL. KNOX SAYS
Chicago Publisher Finds
Basis for Recovery
Abroad.
By United Press

By United Press
BERLIN, June Europe is suf-
fering from "dictatorial disease" and
can not recover its economic sta
bility until political problems are
settled, Colonel Frank Knox, one of
Americas outstanding newspaper
publishers, said today in an inter-
view with the United Press.
The United States, Great Britain
and France, he said, were the
worlds last remaining hopes for
democracy.
Colonel Knox, publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, has just come
from Moscow on European tour of
study embracing Italy, Austria, Po-
land, Germany, France and Great
Britain.
Press Freedom ThrOttled
Everywhere I have been," he
said, Il have found a sound basis
for economic recovery. But ma
tional and international political
disturbances are initiating against
recovery.
One country after another seeks
dictatorial Solutions-it is really
dictatorial disease, whose worst
scourge is the throttling of the
freedom of the press and the right
to criticism.
1T is most difficult to prOpheSy
the future of any individual Euro
pean country, but one thing l do
know is that the United States,
Great Britain and France are the
worlds last remaining hopes for
democracy.
Russians Still Exploited
Il am convinced that the Fascist
or Soviet solution would be abso-
lutely unavoidable in the United
States.
Take Russia, for example. Rus
slams today are actually exploited
as much as ever they we're under the
cars, only the exploiters have
changed, and to certain extent the
methods used have been changed.
Discipline by brutality still prevails.
'Of 160,000,O00 people, 100000
people rule the country. Yet even
these 100000 have no personal
liberty. The worker has no freedom.
Labor is compulsory. Wages are
fixed.
Farmer Still Unimproved
collective farming has not yet
produced an improvement in the
farmers condition. He is resentful.
He would prefer to have MS own
land back.
From 100000 to 100000 people
starved in 1888. Yet the public so
far as the newspapers we're con-
cerned knows nothing of it.
1T is meaningless to talk of
freedom in Soviet Russia. I do not
know whether the Russian expert
ment is better for Russians than
the old system. But I do know it
is not the system for the United
States or the rest of the civilized
world"
