MYSTERY PLANE
BATTLESEOG

CHICAGO, Jan. 9 G.NS).-A
shift in wind to the north today
was expected to clear the Middle
West of its worst fog in history,
but the fate of an airplane heard
droning in the murky atmosphere
above Chicago's loop for three
hours remained a mystery.
While the plane circled unseen
above the furniture mart officials
OF the Department of Commerce
at Chicago airport attempted to
direct its pilot to safe landing
with radio signals. No answer
was received.
1t was feared the ship might
have been forced to descend in
Lake Michigan by the lack of
fuel when canvass of airports
showed that no plane had landed.
Commerce Department officials
were puzzled inaSmuch as there
had been no scheduled flights
into or out of Chicago for the
last three days because Of the
dense fog.

ON NEW OIL
MEASURE
House Group Defers Action
Despite ICkes' Demand
To Speed Legislation
BY International News Service

ny news SeENlCO
Possible postponement of new
oil legislation until late in the
session was indicated today by the
special House oil investigating
committee, despite vigorous de-
mand by Secretary of Interior
IckeS, the oil administrator, for
corrective legislation.
Chatting under the Supreme
Courts decision holding uncon-
stitutional the section of the re-
coVery act authorizing the Presi.
dent to prohibit interstate ship
ments of "hot OIL" administration
leaders want Congress to bring
the outlawed section within con-
stitutional limitations.
Up To States
The committee, however, ex-
pressed the opinion that oil pro-
ducing States might work out q
solution by themselves, stating:
"The decision of the Supreme
Court does not preclude, or even
diminish, the power of the oil
producing States to enforce
State pro ration. The job was
theirs before section &C was
passed. 1t is theirs again aided
by the petroleum code, which is
still in effect. 1t will be inter-
esting to see whether the State
can successfully sit on the lid
pending any further action by
Congress"
The committee favors State
compacts for control of oil but
Chairman Cole CD of Maryland
said if this fails the Federal
Government must take over the
power of regulation.
BOrah DisagreeS
While Senator Wagner CD of
new YORK, one OF the authors OF
the act, believes the oil decision
indicates the NRA setup would
survive court test, Senator
Borah (R) of Idaho, one Of
NRA's most severe critics in Con-
gress, held otherwise. He said:
"The logic of the decision
would seem clearly to include
the codes of sOcalIed fair COM
petition"
The test of reasonableness pre-
scribed by the Supreme Court
may make it possible for hundreds
of suits, developed from NRA
and code actions, to reach the
high court.

Tries to "Shoot 1t Out" With

on Chicago Hideout

=, CHICAGO, Jan 9 UN.SO.
Russell Gibson, 33, ex-convict sus-
pect in the 100000 Edward G.
Bremen kidnapping, died today Of
q bullet wound suffered when he
tried to shoot it out with Federal
Department of Justice agents who
Etormed his North Side apart
ment hideout.
Tear gas bombs hurled into the
apartment by the Government
raiders forced the surrender of a
man whose name was given as
Byron Bolton, of st. Louis, and
two women, one of whom was said
to be Gibson's wife.
Bolton, who gave the name of
S'Willie Harrison" was later cor
V'ectly identified through ques-
tioning.

pital three hours after the shoot

In Gibson's pockets authorities
found $4,000 in large bills. The
serial numbers we're being traced
to determine whether the money
was part of the Bremen ransom.
Dying Thug Silent
Government operatives who at
tempted to question the dying
Rangster said he had stubbornly
refused to talk of his recent &C
tivities and the whereabouts OF
Alvin Karpis, public enemy named
by the Government as one of the
kidnaperS of Bremen, wealthy st.
Paul banker.
Harold Nathan, assistant to J.
Edgar Hoover, head Of the DiVi-
sion of Investigation Of the De
partment of Justice, announced
that Gibson was a member Of the
Alvin Karpis-Arthur (Doc) Barker
gang. Barker and Karpis have
been jointly named as the Bremen
kidnaperS.
Mr.. Nathan and Melvin Purvis,
chief of the local Bureau of In
Hestigation, refused to discuss the
capture of the two women and
Bolton. They admitted the three
were being questioned extensively
but would not announce the prlS-
onerS' Identities.
Five Open Fire
Gibson was shot down as he
raced out the rear door of the
Pine Grove Avenue apartment.
Five Government agents met him
and opened fire as his pistol
jammed after firing only one shot.
Gibson fell with a bullet in the
lung.
Sixteen agents, led by E. J. Con-
nelly, had surrounded the apart
ment building. They were armed
with tear gas bombs, machine
guns and rifles. Occupants of the
first floor apartment of Gibson
were called upon to surrender and
. few seconds later Gibson
emerged from the rear door with
gun in hand.
The officers in the front began
flooding the flat with tear gas,
forcing Bolton to come out on
q small balcony with his arms up
raised in surrender. The two
women were carried out half con-
Scieus from the fumes. All three
were hurried to Department of
Justice headquarters for queS-
tioning.
Two Battles Near
Failure of the Department of
Justice men to notify the Town
Hall police that a raid was to be
staged nearly resulted in two
pitched battles at the apartment
building, one in the front and one
in the rear.
Officers, responding to a half
dozen calls of terrified residents
who reported the shooting, de-
Scended on the building and were
about to open fire in the belief
the men were gangsters. The
Government agents identified
themselves as ID. J. men" at the
last minute.
