Soviet Envoy Opens Farley
To Decide Claims; Friend
Illness Is Marked
BY international News Service

A sincere disposition to reach
an agreement" on the American
debt and damage claims against
Soviet Russia was evidenced on
both sides in the opening of new
negotiations with Soviet Ambas-
Sador Alexander Troyanovsky, the
State Department announced to-
day.
Following conference which
lasted almost two hours, and
which was attended on the Amer
ican side by Secretary of State
Hull and Assistant Secretary Of
State r. Walton Moore, the State
Department issued a communique
stating:
Each, without any prelim-
inarieS, undertook to get the
fundamentals of his own govern
ments attitude before the other.
The conversations were con.
Quoted in a thoroughly friendly
atmosphere and with a sincere
disposition to reach an agree
ment. There will. be another
meeting next week"
Following the failure of Ameri.
can Ambassador William C. Bull.
lit to effect any settlement at
Moscow owing to the Soviets' in
slStence upon a cash loan from
this Government, Secretary Of
State Hull inaugurated new nego.
tiations direct with Ambassador
Alexander Troyanovsky, the Soviet
envoy here.
May End Negotiations
If these negotiations fail to
bring quick results, this Govern
ment may break off the discus
sions entirely and adopt a policy
OF diplomatic aloofness towards
Moscow closely resembling the at
t1tude which existed before Amer
1can recognition was extended
last November.
The plan is to draw up a
tentative agreement with the
Soviet envoy covering all the de-
tails Of the settlement, such as
method of payment, the amount
to be paid, and credits to be
granted American exporters by
the bank for Russia, without any
mention Of q cash loan.

MOORESVnLE, Ind, July as
U.N.SO.-Unnoticed and unknown
to the thousands Of the late John
Dillinger's local admirers, who
choked all roads in this section to
file past the body of their motor
ious dead, were five women.
They were strangers to his
neighbors, but to me, a stranger,
they were well known. At least
four Of them were ladies Of the
mob, the Dillinger mob.
Dillinger never worked" close
to home, so the excited MooreS-
vile folk, on the biggest day Of
their lives, with thousands of Wis
itors milling about, little suspected
that rubbing shoulders with them
were Pearl Elliott, Irene Williams,
Mary Kinder, Margaret Behrens,
and Babe" Longacre.
Girls Dare Arrest
Within hand-shaking proximity
to State troopers and detectives
from many Indiana towns, Pearl
Elliott and Irene Williams drew
up to Harvey's undertaking plant,
parked their smart little maroon
colored coupe, got out and fell
into line.
It took my breath away. There
are in q hundred cities official
circulars from the Indiana State
police, asking the apprehension Of
Pearl Elliott. She has long been
sought as the advance fixer and
brains as well as treasurer of the
Dillinger gang.
It was this former proprietresS
Of q fancy Kokomo establishment
who engaged apartments for the
Dillinger thugs before they came
on to do their jobs, who divided
the Swag and who acted as judge
and jury in their itner-gang quar-
relS.
I couldn't place Irene Williams,
but she told me she was a friend
Of Johns.
Last Look at Johnny
I mosied up to them, and to
the Elliott woman I said:
Hello, Pearl"
She wheeled. I asked:
What brings you here?"
She hesitated, then answered:
Il cam for . last look ct
Johnny. He never threw me
down and I wouldn't dog it on
him."
A few minutes later, I came
face to face with Mary Kinder.
Mary was arrested with Dillinger,
Harry Pierpont and others at
Tucson, Ariz. She is the sweet
heat of Pierpont.
She tried to marry him after
he had been convicted, and, with
on, he put his power
full arms around her and kissed
her q passionate farewell-for.

the Ohio big house.
Fond Of Frogs Legs
Mary had been at the little

ing for Dillinger'S body. She
wasn't registered, but she was
there. I talked to her. She said:
though on Johnny. I liked
him. I used to cook frog legs
for the mob, and Johnny went
for 'em in . big way"
Then she sighed:
"If he'd lived q little longer,
he'd have got my man out. He
was working on it all the time.
So was 1. So am I now. I'd
dig him out with my finger
nails If ] could. And I haven't
given up hope yet"
With Mary was her sister,
Margaret Behrens, wife of a bank
robber who is doing a long
stretch. Last time I had seen
her she was being sweated by
the State police in Indianapolis
over some little help she had
thrown to some of the Dillinger

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July IS
UNS0.-New peace proposals to
end the strike of union truck driv-
ers were being prepared today for
submission to the union and the
employers.
Details Of the new peace plan
were kept secret, but Governor
Floyd B. Olson ANNOUNCED that if
the peace plan is not accepted by
both sides he will declare martial
law in Minneapolis and place the
entire city under the National
Guard. -.
The Rev. Francis j. Haas and
E. H. Dunnigan, Federal media
tors, hoped it would be arbitrar
tors, has called the Federal
Labor Board and it was reported
he asked for permission to invoke
Federal authority to force the
truck drivers, whose strike has
resulted in one death and 81
wounded, and the employers into
negotiations.
Election Spurne0
Both sides declined the suggeS-
ton to hold an election and see
whether the "inside workers" -"
celery trimmers, radish pullerS
and others, were to be represented
by the William Dunno Truckers
Union.
Mediators Haas and Dunnigan
discussed the entire situation
with Governor Olson and Mayor
A. G. Bainhridge at a conference
in the mayors Lake Minnetonka
home last night, but said that no
agreement had been reached on
the suggestions by the mediators
that the workers be permitted to
vote as to their representation by
the truckers.
Employers took the position
that employees would be "lnt1mh
dated" Union leaders, 1t was
understood, asserted that not
only representation but wages
were involved.
The result was an apparently
hopeless deadlock unless the
power Of the Federal Government
is invoked. The daily newspaper
Of the strikers declared:
"COwsrds give up-uniOn men
fight"
Trucks To Move
Meanwhile, Mayor Bainbridge
declared:
''Trucks will move as usual
under police guards when re-
quested."
Laundry and cleaning plant
"'inside workers" indicated that,
following a sharp telegram from
William Green, president OF the
American Federation Of Labor,
their one-day sympathy" strike
was ended.
There are more than 1000
troops concentrated in the State
Fair Grounds and about the city
in strategic points.
Funeral Is Quiet
Meanwhile, Father Haas, after
calling Washington by telephone,
was advised that the Federal
Labor Board had taken under ad-
visement his suggestion that the
Federal power to compel arbitra-
ton be invoked and, apparently,
Washington was awaiting the out
come of the compromise agree
ment which was to be submitted.
Fears of bloodShed at the demon
etration at the funeral Of Henry
Ness, the victim Of the strikers

IF Muffy climbs the tree he must

I'll drop down lot for you," pro-

YES, do that" said Uncle Wig
gily. Up the tree, 20 feet, climbed
Muffy, the little bear boy. He thrust
his paw into the bee hole and pulled
out lot of the wax cups, or comb
dripping with sweet honey. Muffy
was very good. He did not eat any
for himself but dropped it all down
to the bottom of the tree where his
brothers and Uncle Wigily waited
That's enough" said the rabbit
gentleman. I'VE must leave some
honey for the bees"
Then Muffy climbed down the
tree and they all began to have g
honey party. But, all of sudden
some of the bees that didn't like
having their honey taken, buzzeo
around and were going to sting the
bears and the rabbit Bee Stings hurt
very much, especially on a bears
nose or on a rabbits nose.

tent. Inside it the honey party went
on until all the sweet stuff was
gone. Then, when the bees had
flown away, the bunny and the
bears came out of the tent and Went

around the honey tree in the WOODS.
He and the three little bears, CUT

tree by watching the bees fly to it
from the flowers where they gath
cred the sweet juice.
Uncle Wiggily had met the three
boy bears when he was going TO
the store for mosquito netting cloth
so Nurse Jane could tack it over the
bungalow windows to keep out the
biting bugs.
But after they had found the
honey tree, the three little bears
didn't know how to get the sweet

high up from the ground.
I'll tell you what you'll have to

THE D.4RROW REPORT

Clarence Darrow appears to have lived
up to form in making his report as a
member of the National Recovery board.
He has stirred up fuss which has the
country split about $3.50 as to whether
he Is right or Wrong-the usual result of
Darrow undertaking.
1he report recalls to mind his various
exploits as a leading attorney. There
was the Los Angeles Times dvnariting
case, when Darrow suffered lone hours
through fear that prison might be op
ening to receive him. Half the people
interested in the case thought it should.
The other half considered him martyr.
Jumping quite few years, there was
the Loeb-Leopold case. Again taif the
country thought he should have been
hanged with the two slayers. The other
half credited him with fine piece of
work in saving their lives
Later came the famous tilt with Bryan
over the teaching of evolution in the
Tennessee schools. Bryan came off the
winner but it was by no means unani-
nous victory insofar as support of the
nation went. Again it was at least so
so for Darrow.
Now we have the NRA report. in which
Darrow condemns the NRA as the friend
of big business and the enemy of the
little fellow" He urges specialization of
the nation as the solution OF our present
difficulties. Again he is right and
wrong, depending upon the individual
viewpoint.
Darrow has leaned heavily to liberal
ism and radicalism throughout his life.
He is too old now to change his tactics.
The administration leaders who put him
on the National Recovery board, must
have known his views as we'll as the man
in the street. Knowing them they could
not have been so blind as tc expect an
unbiased review of the NRA from Dar-
row. If they did they have been con-
siderably disappointed.
To condemn the Darrow report lndis-
crininately is as foolish as 20 praise it
as perfect. Some phases of the NRA
which are manifestly wrong have been
disclosed by it and exposing them pre-
sents an opportunity to correct them.
The report will furnish material for
debate over an indefinite period and that
in the final run, may be its chief result.
