KARP|S' WARNING
SPURS j. s. AGENTS
Threat to Kill Hoover Gives
Impetus to Search. for
Public Enemy No. |.

With brazenly vorded death threat
to their chief as fresh clue on which
to work, special agents Of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation today
were conducting an intensified search
for Alvin Karpis, who succeeded the
late John Dillinger as so-called pub
lie enemy No. !.
Department OF Justice officials
guarded details of a threat by Karpis
on the life of J. Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor of the bureau, but it was reported
the gangster sent his warning several
weeks ago in a letter mailed from an
Ohio city.
In characterizing the letter as au-
thentic, officials declined to reveal
whether identification of Karpi as
the author was accomplished through
handwriting or fngerprints. 1t was
recalled that George c'Machine
Gum Kelly affixed his flngerprints
to letters threatening death to all Fed
eral authorities responsible for the
capture and trial Of his pal, Harvey
Bailey, for the Urschel kidnapping.
Hoover SCOTS at Threat.
Apparently the letter Is in the
custody Of experts attached to the
bureaus technical laboratory here.
Hoover, it Is said, does not regard the
threat seriously, holding that Karpis
would not send a warning in the event
he intended to do him harm.
Karpis. it is believed, wrote the letter
in a spirit of revenge for the Staying
by Hoover's men last January Of his
close companions in crime, Fred Bar
ker. and the latter's mother, Kate
(Ma) Barker. The Barkers were killed
when they opened fire on G-meA
who surrounded their hideout on Lake
Weir, Fla, and demanded their sur
render.
Trail Led to Ohio.
The trail of Karpis had led to Ohio
repeatedly in the past. He and several
members Of the Karpis- Barker gang
kidnapers Of Edward G. Bremen, Min
nesota bank president-are said to
have hidden in Ohio after the kidnap-
ing of Bremen. Last Fall he Is re-
ported to have been one Of q group Of
men who escaped from a Cleveland
hotel when police arrived to investi-
gate fight.
Karpis and another member Of the
gang, Harry Campbell, forced a Penn

LONDON, June 27.-The Soviet
Union is going to ask for so per
cent of Britain's naval strength,
and will greatly increase its air
force to counter the Germany
navy.
France threatens to build for the
same purpose.
Italy continues plans to make
war on Abyssinia, and while the
League of Nations faces a crisis,
Germany has enhanced prospects
of getting Austria, and after that
extending her supreme sphere Of
power from the Baltic to the Black
sea.
These are 1.-The possibilities, not
all fulfilled and not all certain,
but all discouraging, which Capt.
Anthony Eden brought back with
him from his visit to Rome, the
least successful excursion Of the
young British minister's diplo-
matte career.
Demands Abyssinia
International News Ser vice
learns Premier Mussolini told Cap
tain Eden approximately the fol-
lowing:
1--WE got to have AbySsinia.
You can call it a prOtectOrate
or a mandate from the league,
but I've got to have it.
Suppose, while I go ahead in
AbysSinia, you find some way
for the league to leave me alone.
If you do, I'll stay in it; if not,
I'll leave it,
The suggestion was seriously put
forward that the League might
expel Abyssinia and appoint Italy
to establish a mandate.
Can't Back Down
Two considerations are held
here to make a peaceful solution
Of the 1talo-Abyssinian conflict i'm
probable.
The first is thta Mussolini has
gone so far he cannot back down
without dangerous loss of pres
tige.
The corollary is the fact that
the Abyssinian Emperor might
even be willing to accept an Ital-
ian protectorate in order to avoid
war, but he cannot without risk
ing revolt of his barons and loss
of his throne.
The British might be willing to
abandon Abyssinia, but they argue
this would not help.
Because, whether Italy fights
Abyssinia with or without the
Leagues blessing, it will probably
mean that power in Austria will
be seized by the Nazis, who have
only been checked by the threat
of the Italian army.
On this dilemma Lord Beaver
brooks commentator, Lord Castle
rosse, ironically remarks:
"The incOnceivabIe is just
possible; that we can either in
duce or bully Italy to fOregO
her Abyssinian aspirations.
I'm this happy event we can
look forward hopefully to do
nestle revolution and anarchy
in Italy and slavery will flourish
in Abyssinia."
Meanwhile, France has an
nounced that she has regained
free hand for naval building

ment, and the Soviet Union, it is
privately learned, will demand
SO per cent of the tonnage of
the British navy in any forth.
coming naval conference on the
ground of defense against the
new German fleet.
Germany, vastly encouraged
by British consent to her naval
demands, is now expecting from
English financiers credits which
indirectly will expedite her arma-
ments program.
Neutral observers conclude that
Chancellor Hitler'S foreign policy
so far is the most successful Of
any in Europe.

SUCCESSOR
To BEAN
Five Police Captains Quizzed
In Effort to Fill Vacancy
Expected on July |

With the retirement of In
Spector Thaddeus R. Bean as
assistant superintendent of police
scheduled for July l, the District
Commissioners today began con-
sideration of his successor.
Five police captains were called
to the District Building for infor-
NAL conversations with the three
Commissioners as to their respec-
tive qualifications for the inspec-
torship.
Captains interviewed by the
Commissioners today included
Edward J. Kelly, of the Third
precinct; James E. Bobo. of the
Second; William E. Holmes, of
the First; Ira SheetZ, of the
Tenth, and Maurice Collins, Of
the Seventh. It was indicated
that one of these men will be
chosen to succeed Inspector Bean.
Commissioners said all Of the
candidates for the inSpectorShip
were highly recommended by
business and civic organizations.
The job carries an increase in
pay over a captaincy. The Com
missioners said the new inspector
will not hold the rank of assist
ant superintendent of police,
since there is no need for one
at present.
Inspector Bean, it was claimed
before the Congressional commit
tee which investigated crime con-
ditions in Washington, entered
into an agreement with Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Blanton
CD of Texas to resign so Mr..
Blanton's friend, Inspector A. j.
Headley, could be promoted to
assistant superintendent of police.
Inspector Bean, Mr.. Blanton
charged, reneged on his promise
and refused to retire at the stipu-
lated time.

Since then the mother has only

Deaconess Yeo revealed that

have been sent to the mother,
whose address is known, but no
answers have been received.
Neither has the mother con-
tributed to Rose Mary's support,
she said.
Commenting on the Gregory in.
cident, the deaconess stated that
Rose Mary had appeared "per-
fectly happy" with both Of her
foster parents on the numerous
occ1.ions when they had visited
the house since the child was
placed in their charge last Janu-
airy.
However, she added:
81 think we must have made
a terrible mistake. The child,
of course, returns to our Gus
tOdy now"
According to Superintendent
Yeo, Rose Mary is still subject to
her mothers claim. This admis-
sion is apparently contradictory to
the understanding that was given
the Gregorys when they took Rose
Mary for adoption. Deaconess
Yeo, however, refused. to clarity
the paradox.

BILL
|. HEARING ENDS
TODAY
Amendments Prepared, Bring
It in Line With National
Security Legislation

Amendments to the Ellenbogen
unemployment insurance bill for
the District we're prepared today
to bring the local bill in line with
the national social security legis-
lation and will be considered again
at 3 D, m. before a subcommittee
of the Senate District Committee.
These amendments were offered
bv the District Commissioners and
washington business interests in
expectation of relieving some OF
the more stringent provisions OF
the bill.
Barrett Prettyman, Corporation
Counsel; Robert j. Cottrel, secre-
tary of the Board of Trade, and
John K. Althaus, of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, are authors Of the amend
ments. They are supported in
their contentious by representa-
tives Of the railroads and certain
civic organizations Of the city.
Want Workers to Share
Chief among the contentious OF
the critics of the measure as it
passed the House is that 1t does
not provide for contributions from
employees. Several spokesman at
the meeting yesterday expressed
the fear that if employees were not
compelled to contribute, they
would lose interest in the PROPOSE
ton and that mismanagement
might creep in.
It was also suggested that the
District government be relieved Of
contributing one per cent to the
fund and that the fund be ad-
miniStered by a local board.
They also call attention to the
fact that the local bill provides
for an immediate pay roll tax of
3 per cent, while the national bill
graduates the tax from l to per
cent over a period of three years.
The hearing was continued
over until today because of the
number Of witnesses who wanted
to be heard.
More for Uniformity
The District heads submitted a
number Of other amendments to
bring both old-age pension and
needy blind bills in conformity
with the national legislation.
The three chief changes in the
unemployment insurance bill were
outlined by Corporation Counsel
E. Barrett Prettyman on behalf
of the District government. They
are:
1. That the act be admin
istered by the District Unem.
plOyed Insurance Commission,
rather than the national social
security board.
2. That the provision requir.
ing q contribution by the Dis
trict Government be stricken
from the measure.
3. That, providing the pay
roll tax revenue proves inSuffi-
cient, employees will be required
to contribute to the unemploy-
ment insurance fund.
Representative Ellenbogen, spon-
Sor of the bill, in discussing the
provision which would require
District employers to begin pay
ing the 3 per cent pay roll tax
at once, said this was made high
purposely, since industry here is
in much better condition than
throughout the country.
Commissioner George E. Allen,
looking upon the move as expert
mental, said he didn't want the
District to be a guinea pig"
