MOORESVILLE ASKS
TROOP PROTECTION
DiIIinger'S Home Village Re-
quests Militia.

John Dillinger ST., the aged
farmer who aroused a storm of pro-
test by giving a chicken dinner for
his notorious son two weeks ago,
seemed unperturbed today over a
resolution passed by the Mooresville
town board last night demanding
adequate militia protection for the
town.
Six solemn members of \ the
Mooresville town board, w. A. Lyon,
president; Henry Wilson, E. N. Mil
horn, o. F. Powell, j. F. Cox and
Keith L. Wade, clerk treasurer,
passed the resolution brought about
by remarks of Al Feeney, state di-
rector of public safety.
When word leaked out about the
chicken dinner, Mr.. Feeney said
that the attitude of the town was
anti-social in not reporting the in
cident. The resolution stated that
no citizen wished to lose his life
in capturing the fugitive and asked
that Governor McNutt dispatch a
sufficient number of national
to guard the town.

After yesterdays hot pursuit of
three of the gangsters from Mani
towish, Wis, to st. Paul, with the
gunner battling a deputy sheriff
and stealing a motor car en- route,
the report today indicating that
they had doubled back through the
north country sent hundreds OF Of
ficers pouring again over woodland
roads.
In isolated farm houses house,
wives bolted their doors, although
Dillinger always has shown an &C.
centric consideration for noncon-
batants in his war with the law.
Lonely country stores were closed
and the whole countryside watched
their roads apprehenSively.
A score of brawny lumberjacks,
armed only with double bitted axes
and contemptuously unafraid of the
city gangsters' machine guns, left
Hurley today to join in patrolling
roads leading to the Canadian
border
While the huge army of officers
thrown into the search concentrated
on the wilderness area, they gave
active attention also to other re-
ports.
A Milwaukee street car conductor
told police today that he saw car
containing four rife armed men
leaving the Milwaukee city limits.
Police and deputy sheriffs took up
pursuit through the country.

Reviewing the evils of the slate
Mr.. Denny pointed out the ire
mendous power it places in the
hands of party bosses with the re-
Sultant losses to taxpayers.
Having selected a slate, the boss
uses the precinct organizations to
put the slate across" Mr.. Denny
asserted.
In the cases of judicial candi-
dates, even promises OF rich re-
ceiverShips can be peddled for
places on the slate.
Consider, for example, the temp
tation to the party chairman to
sell the selection of post on the
safety board, which runs the po-
lice department, Or a place on the
works board to some contractor or
producer of paving materials. Very
nice for the parties involved, but
the taxpayer pays"
Mr.. Denny also pointed out that
the voter is deluged with states
other than the organization selec-
tons.
There are labor states, employ
ers' states, BARRIERS states, phony
good citizens states, and even par
ent-teacher states that the Parent
Teacher Associations never heard
Of" he said.
In addition to outlawing the slate,
other changes are necessary if the
primary is to survive, Mr.. Denny
said. He advocated making primary

TUCWELL LAUDS
NEW DEAL ERA
American Tradition Being
Saved, Not Destroyed,
Says Professor.
Bg United Press

By UHtted Press
WASHINGTON. April 24.-Pro-
fessor Rexford Guy Tugwell, $4,000
a-year brain truster, is convinced
that the new deal is saving, rather
than destroying, American tradition.
Dr. Tugwell believes President
Roosevelt came into power at the
low point of American history. He
thinks the country might have gone
to an extreme a year ago.
He advanced these ideas during a
bumpy inspection ride over 5000
nearby Maryland acres where PWA
and CWA funds are creating a
model agricultural experiment sta
ton.
Jouncing- along in one of Amer
ica's cheapest automobiles, DR.. Tug
well remarked that no one knows
the direction in which this country
would have gone without some
Rooseveltian first aid. In one di-
rection lay Fascism and in the other
Communism. DR.. Tugwell didn't
name any names. He spoke merely
OF directions. But he feels Mr..
Roosevelt saved the Characterised
ly American tradition here.
Asked about RECOMMENDATION and
control of industry, DR.. Tugwell re-
piled:
Il don't believe in that at ALL"
His conception Of NRA is that OF
an economic forum" in which diff
ferences among and within in
dustries may be thought out and
solved
The real difficulty in the United
States, take it from DR.. Tugwell, is
maladjustment of the price system
The objective desired by DR.. Tug
we'll is continuity of industry-by
which he means ample and stable
employment and the maintenance
of a relationship between prices of
all commodities which will enable
Industries to exist and perhaps en-
able all the people to prosper.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent to the
senate the nomination of Rexford
Guy Tugwell to be undersecretary
of agriculture, new position Great
ed by the chief executive.
Mr.. Tugwell has been assistant
secretary of agriculture and his
promotion was made on recon-
mendation of Agriculture Secretary
Henry A. Wallace.

PROSECUTOR WILSON
RECEIVES THREAT TO
KIDNAP HIS CHILDREN

An unsigned letter threatening
the kidnapping of his children was
received today by Herbert E. Will
son, Marion county prosecutor.
The letter. addressed to Will
son, Court House, city" was type
written and contained the follow
ing message:
Mr.. Wilson: You took my son
away when he was not guilty. The
speech of your man Bate is what
done the work. You both have
children. You might have them
taken away also. They said it
would take $1,000 to spring it. Start
getting it with Bate, or else.
IF you tell police I won't wait
for money as you can't trust
parole board even if I would pay
them the $1,000. If you and Bate
care for your kids, do as I say,
or else. 1 am watching if you let
police know
Bate is believed to refer to
Deputy Prosecutor Gerritt M.
Bates.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr.
Bates could offer possible identity
of the writer of the letter.

A Park Falls, Wis, police
man, Elmer Peterson, warned
St. Paul, Chicago and all Wis
consin authorities last night
to watch for five men in a
mud-spattered, brown sedan.
The five stopped in Park Falls
about midnight to buy gasoline and
oil.
Peterson said he was certain
there were guns in the car, and
that the man answered descriptions
of the fleeing gangsters.
Discovery Of Packard sedan,
stolen early yesterday by two OF
Dillinger's men from resort owner
near Spider Lake, Wis, at the end
of blind road, only fifteen miles
from the resort, led to redoubled &C
tivity there.
Pursuers believed the desperate
men, afraid to return over their
route when they discovered their
road was a short lumber road, took
to the woods afoot.
The gigantic search, in which
even Indians of the Lac de Flam-
beau and La Pointe reservations
took part, pointed today toward this
wide open, FOSTERING border town,
only a comparatively few miles from
the spot where yesterday two men
died and four were wounded in bat
ties between Dillingers gang and
officers.

the fifth remained in the rear seat
of ''1eir automobile.
Sarning reported that the men or
dered beer and manipulated his
radio, choosing Chicago stations and
tuning them out when music was
heard. He believed they sought to
tune in on a police broadcast. Be-
fore leaving the men purchased
twelve gallons of gasoline. Sarning
noted that their rear license plate
had been bent so that its numerals
could not be read.
They stopped about sixty feet
away from Sarning's place and
walked another twenty feet to the
brightly lighted garage in which
Harvey Hoffere, an attendant, was
reading.
The men purchased several quarts
of oil for their automobile from
Hoffere and he walked to their auto
mobile to pour the oil into the car.
The men trained a spotlight en-
Hoffere during the time he was out
side his garage.
Hofere said that at one time he
caught sthe CLINT of metal on the
seat of the automobile and believed
he saw a machine gun there. The
men paid for their oil with bills
from fat wallets, he said.
The automobile was driven south
to the Fifield road, which leads both
to st. Paul and to another inn
portant highway from Chicago.
Peterson said he believed the five
rnen included the three men who
we're pursued by ST. Paul police af-
ter driving to Minnesota from Eagle
River and two others who had
escaped toward Duluth.

WASHINGTON, April "a. - The
United States may follow the lead
of Great Britain in officially re-
Winding the japanese government of
its obligations under the nine-power
pact. it was stated in authoritative
quarters today.
State Secretary Cordell Hull was
due back in Washington today from
New York, and his arrival was eX-
pected to coincide with the dispatch
of either a memorandum to the
Japanese government, or of instruc-
tons to American Ambassador JOS
eph c. Grew in Toxic to make such
reminder.
Officials here characterized as
unusual, to say the least" the
methods by which Japan has circu-
lated her "hands-off China" mani
festo. This has been done entirely
by statements to the press in Toxic
and other world capitals. There has
been no official communication to
any foreign government, although
the issue is considered the most i'm
portant development in the far east
ern situation since Japan presented
her famous "twenty-one demands"
to China in 1915.

It was understood that the cabinet

sulting the United States.
1t was believed that the method
adopted in communicating with

memorandum to be presented by
him.
A few hours after its dispatch
Nasayuki Yokoyama. japanese con-
Sul-general at Geneva, league head
