Raid in Newburgh

Newburgh, IN. f.s May S-lOF) Five bandits carrying machine guns robbed the Broadway branch of the National bank today and escaped. in a dark sedan toward the village of Montgomery. Orange county.
 A sixth bandit drove the escape car. Three bags of cash were seized by the raiders. Unofficial estimates placed the loot at 'sunder $l5,eOO."
 Police said the robbery was the work of professionals.
 Tt was carried out with clock like precision" one said.
 Newburgh police did not see any possible connection t:th the rob- bery and Q Worcester, Mass. hold up, in which i've bandits obtained over $15.00o from the Greendaie branch of the Worcester County Institution.
 The robbery was the second in New York state in three days. An Eden, N. r., bank was robbed Tues day.
 The bank ofiicials immediately began an investigation to determine the amount of loot obtained. Tho check probably will take several hours.
 The robbers. before obtaining the cash bags which were in q row of cages, first placed the customers against the wall. and then forced tAem Co sit n tho floor.

swarmed over the field toward Miss Earhart's ship.
 Efforts to take her to the New Jersey national guard rangar in police car were baked by the widely cheering mob. Four police men placed her on their shoulders, and surrounded by the good-na- tured throng, slowly made their way to the hangar.
 She seemed to be the only calm person on the field. Smilingly she compiled with the commands of photographers to, look this way and that. Good naturedly she ans wered the questions some so re- porters directed at her.
 Husband Annoyed
 But her husband, George Pal- mer Putnam, former publisher, who had waited her at the field since dusk, was annoyed by the ve- hemence of the demonstration.
 Mexico" he said, "is four times as civilized as Newark. This is the most disgraceful scene ever witnessed"
 once in the comparative shelter of the hangar, Miss Earhart strengthened her hair and launched into the story of her flight.
 The weather over the entire distance was very good, she said, although she encountered clouds and headwinds after passing over New Orleans, where she picked up the marked mail route.
 Throughout the flight she used radio "homing" compess, a de- vice that can be tuned in on any commercial brotdcasting station and which keeps the plane toward the broadcasting towers until the pilot arrives at his destination.
 At times reached maximum speed of 180 miles an hour and sometimes with the head winds l was unable tom ake more than no to 115 miles an hour"
 When informed of her flying time of 14:1S:50 Miss Earhart. who estimated before leaving Mexico City that she would make the flight withing 16 hours, said in feigned disappointment:
 CT would like to have made t in better time."
 As 1t was, Miss Earhart broke the record for nonstop flight be- tween the two cities, although the speed record for flight with stops is credited to the late James R. Wedell who flew from Ottawa to Washington to Mexico City with an elapsed time of II hours and 4S minutes in 1882. Col Roberto Fi- erro. ace of the Mexican army air force, and a mechanic flew from New York to Mexico City in 1880 in 16 hours and 35 minutes.

NEW AIR FORCE
 FOR GERMANY

Berlin, May 9-tUP)-Creation of a semi-independent naval air force at date yet to be determined was predicted in we'll informed sources today. So far, since the off, cial admission that Germany has a military air force, no distinction has been drawn between land planes, operating with the army, and seaplanes and flying boats sta tioned along the coasts of the North and Baltic seas. It is believed that the expected naval air force will be technically under control of Gen. eral Hermann Goering, air minis ter and air force leader.

The booing, which he led by thrashtng his arms like cheer leader, might have continued indefinitely had he not stopped 1t with gesture. Sem ator Robert F. Wagner, democrat. New York. was criticized on the same score.
 While Couglin did not attack Presldent Roosevelt directly. he did denounce "this Undetermined ad- ministration," which he said was doomed. He laid most of the ills of the country to the Federal Re- serve System. terming 1t the chief cause of the depression. He de- manded its abolition and pledged the union to fight for a central government bank, controlled by the people directly through con gress." The Federal Reserve Sys- tenn was condemned on 27 specific counts.
 "In short, he concluded. they have manipulated the wealth Of the nation and the very state itself. which, rather than ruling in king!y majesty. has become their tool Tn concentrating wealth and power and domination In. the hands of few.
 Not Third Party
 Coughlin specifically defined the operations of his union. It is not third pary. It endeavors 10 change worthy minorities into majorities."

 Coughiin attacked the national administration largely on the basis of its support of the Eccles bank ing bill which he said was scheme to maintain the Federal Reserve System as it is. But he also attacked Its agricultural ana industrial policies, and used Presi- dent Roosevelt's anticipated veto fthe Patman bill as an example of how 1t is ''committing suicide.

 Lenders See Veto Victor
 Senators Joseph T. Robinson, q, Ark, majority leader, and Pat Harrison. d, Miss, senate finance committee chairman, were un- shaken in their belief the senate would sustain veto. They re- fused to take talk of a compro- mise seriously.
 Long agreed on general prin- ciples''. with Coughlin's Cleveland speech and added: "the banking system has strangied the working man and the farmer under the present administration as never before"
 After a series of whispered con- ferences in corridors and cloak rooms, Long announced confident ly he had "signed up" Senators Bonnet c. Clark. d., Mo-; Thomas F, Gore, d., Okla, and Joseph c. O'Mahoney, d, Wyo., to vote to override veto.
 Clark voted for the Patman bill at the last minute merely to be in a position to offer a motion to reconsider thhe action. He ad- mitted negotiations were under way with supporters of the Pat man measure for a compromise. He predicted, however, a veto of the Patman bill would be sus- tained.
 Thomas Works Hard
 Washington, May 9.-(UP)- The leader of the Patman bonus forces in the senate. Sen Elmer Thomas, d, Okla., refused to-day to accept any compromises advanced so far as a possible means of ob- taining votes to override veto.
 While Thomas previously had said that if the Patman currency issue bill could not be enacted, he would take the next best thing, he asserted to-day:
 "Once the Patman advocates start yielding, the bonus fight IS lost"
 His remarks appeared to indi- cate he was determined to battle further for the votes needed to override a veto of the Patman Dill. President Roosevelt today asked Gen Frank T. Hines of the veterans bureau, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, and other aids to confer with him in dis cussion expected to center around his intended veto of the Patman bill.

NOTGGSUCT 1kOtUeOP
 Worcester, Mass, May 9-(UP)-- Operating as smoothly as though they had rehearsed their roles. three we'll dressed and maskless bandits raided the Greendale branch of the Worcester County Institution for Savings today and escaped with $15,675. mostly in cash.
 Two of the robbers brandished sawed-off shotguns and the third carried pistol, but so swiftly and surely did they work that they did not have to resort to gunfire as they harvested $14,450 in cash, $1,000 in stocks, and a $225 dia- mond ring.
 They escaped toward Clinton in a cream-colored, wire wheeled Ford V-S coach registered to Albert Rejko of East Dudley. Police be- lieved the car had been stolen.
 Overlooked Some Loot In their haste-they were in the bank less than three minutes-the raiders overlooked an additional $1,250 cash cached in a compart- ment of the safe. It was the first major bank hold-up in this city's history, and the sixth important robbery in Massachusetts since January 1, the loot of which now totals nearly $185,000. Manager Ellis A. Reeby and Teller F. Robert Noteworthy were alone in the bank when the bandits appeared, but two customers, a man and a woman entered while the hold-dp was in progress.
 The first bandit to appear held a sawed-off shotgun in hands that were sheathed in pigskin gloves.
 This is a hold-up! Turn over the money!" he commanded Nos- worthy.

Poseii Is. Policemen

Chicago, May 9- (UP)-Five men, three of them dressed as po- lice officers, held up the Edison Electric Appliance company today and escaped with $3,S00 in car with police" lettered on the door. The three bandits, garbed as po- lice, entered the company's office on the south side and asked: "Who reported a holdup here?" Before the dazed employees could answer, the bandits d'isar me d them, snatched the money from the hands of Mary Monihan, 40 year old cashier. and lied.
 It was the second time in Chi cago police annals that criminals donned policemen's uniforms to stage daring crimes. The St Val entine day massacre in 1929, when seven Moran gangsters were slain was the other instance. The Edi- son company guards were standing at the entrance to the office when the bogus squad car'' pulled up. The three uniformed men, passed among the scores of passersby with drawn guns, without arousing sus picion. The guards. George Ratata and Otto Birnbaum, motioned the "police'' to follow and started on a run for the second floor office of the company. The cashier was opening the vault when the bandits arrived. EEr

opening the safe, two confederates appeared.
 Lootcd the Safe
 From the safe the bandits took $1, 100 in cash and $1.O0 worth of New England Power company stock belonging to Nosworthy's $ father.
 From the teller's cage they scooped up $7,700 in cash which had just been delivered by an ar- mored Brink's Express truck. and $5,6O0 lin cash which was in the drawers.
 From Nosworthy they took a $225 diamond ring and $50 cash. Then both employees and the two customers were herded into a rear room and ordered to stay there five minutes.
 As they were being forced into the room, Noteworthy started to tell the woman customer something but felt a gun at his back. Keep quiet or we'll plug you," one of the bandits said. As soon as the robbers had lied, however, Noteworthy ran out and obtained the registration number of the getaway car, which had been parked, apparently without anyone at the wheel, on Whitmarsh avenue, alongside the bank.
 Description of Robbers The following descriptions of the bandits were broadcast over the state police teletype system: No. Thirty years old, six feet tall, 150 pounds, dark com plexion, gray felt hat, pigskin gloves, dark shoes, overcoat, car ried sawed-off shotgun.
 No. 2-Thirty years old, i've feet six inches,, 150 pounds, dark conn plexion, dark overcoat. dark soft hat, carried revolver.
 No. 3-Thirty years old, six feet tall, 160 pounds, hair tinged with gray, gray suit, gray topcoat. gray felt hat, carried sawed-of shotgun.
 Fred Bonner, representing the state bank department, said deposi- tors of the bank which Is under state supervision, were protected under the legislative act which in- sures deposits of savings banks in the central savings bank fund.

The refusal of District Judge
Ernest A. O'Brien Of Detroit to dis
qualify himself from conducting the
Detroit banking cases as requested by
the Government in an affidavit aIIeg-
ing prejudice was announced yester-
day by the Justice Department.
The cases, concerned with the So
called Detroit bankers group and the

Debt Cited in Affidavit.

DCUt SItCu III huIudflts
In the affidavit, Bard had declared
Elizabeth Dee O'Brien is indebted to
the First National Bank, Detroit, on
various and numerous mortgages and
notes exceeding the sum of s27, 900,
all of which are past due and unpaid;
that the receiver on numerous occa.
sions has attempted to enforce COL
lection Of these obligations from the
said Elizabeth Dee O'Brien and has
been informed by Ernest A. O'Brien,
acting on behalf Of his wife, that she
Is unable to liquidate these obliga-
tions."
The affidavit further said that
when a receiver for the banks was
appointed "a joint collateral note in
the amount of $3,045.50 III the name
of Ernest A. O'Brien and Elizabeth
Dee OBrien was among the assets
Of the First National Bank, Detroit;

verify believed that District Judge
O'Brien manifested an unusual in
terest in the banking investigation in
Michigan conducted by the United
States Government" and that the
judge had expressed an opinion re-
garding the above-entitled case on
several occasions"
Summing up, Bard said he believed
O'Brien "is undoubtedly personally
biased and prejudiced against the
Government and biased and preju-
diced in favor of the defend
ants . - and is, therefore, not a
suitable judge to try this case fairly
and impartially and that he should
be disqualified and another Judge
designated to try the said case"
In copy of his opinion, made pub
lie yesterday by the department,
Judge O'Brien said that the affidavit
had not complied with the judicial
code and explained:
Reasons for Decision.
"I am satisfied and so find that the
