SEC'Y WALLACE
 STRIKES BACK AT
 NEW ENCLANDERS.
Their Protest Against Any Processing Tax is Only
 Smoke Screen

Brunswick, Me-, April 18r-1( LPl In caustic phrases, Secretary oa Agriculture Henry A. Wallace tosl day had answered New Englandi manufacturing interests which made him the butt of their attack against the processing tax and Japanese competition. He spoke at3 the Bowdoin College Institute or Politics here yesterday and empii- fled his views in an interview. Fiercely assaiIing his critics, Sec retary Wallace blamed the decline' of New England industry on the flabbiness of the third and fourth generations of New Englanders who lack the initiative and guts of their forbears."
 He said the "hue and cry" of the past few weeks against the cotton processing tax and Japanese cons petition was "a smoke screen thrown out by manufacturers and "a chiseling drive of special pow-8 CTS concealing their true motives under the cloak of false publicitys These he termed bad manners and immortality of the worst kind.s
 eve hear cries from New Eng land against blowing cotton un-t der" he said, "but the industries Of the north in 1882 plowed under millions of workers and put them out in the streets so they could prevent q reduction in prices. TPass whole hue and cry is just the manufacturers trying to find ex-s cuses to close down the mills un- til they can get rid of the surplus stock which they have piled up again. Every so often the cotton textile industry overproduces and that's what they have done now. N Secretary Wallace asserted charges that the manufacturers want to close their mills, not as a protest against the processing tax, but be- cause their stocks have piled up. They'll open again when their stocks are cleared out"

|BANKGUARD FOUGHT OFF |GANGSTERS
.68 Year Old Guardian En. gagged Them in Duel
 This Morning
FOUR BANDITS WERE
 DRIVEN INTO FLIGHT
Nobody Was Wounded in Affray-NO Money Was
 Lost to Bank

Brockton, Mass, April 18-- (uP) - A 68-year-old bank guard frightened away four heavily-armed bandits at g bank here today when he shot the hat off of one of them and then played dead"
 The bandits, who missed approximately $20,000 in pay roll funds, evidently feared they had killed guard, Seth P. Ramsdell with their sub- machine-gun, and dashed out empty-handed.
 Apparently no one was wounded, either inside the bank, where the fearless guard engaged the heavi- ly-armed' quartet in gun fight at close range, or outside, where the panicky bandits fired wildly to cover their escape. Their bullets shattered store windows, however, and two pedestrians. John J. Hal linan and Fitz Kniberg, barely es- capped wounds.
 Bandits Arrive
 It was shortly before 10 a. m. that the four bandits, accompanied by perhaps as many as three con federates, drove up in front of the one story brick bank building on Main street at the south end of the city.
 The four, all bearing riot guns, alighted and dashed inside.
 Guard Ramsdell was down eel lar. He heard a commotion on the

 Was Bitter One

Washington. April. .18- fUP)-- The 44th Congress of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution voted today for officers who will guide the organization for the next three years.

 No Control By Cliqucs.
 Mrs Gillentine. the liberal candi- date, favors open discussion on the floor of the congress as opposed to ,"control by cliques." Mrs Becker's platform calls for adequate na- tionaf defense" and endorses con- servative blanks. which oppose communism and call for restriction of immigration. The result of the election will not be known until tonight. A picture of speaker Jo- seph w. Byrnes, printed in q Washington newspaper, may have an important influence on the re- suit of the election. He was pho- tographed shaking hands with Mrs Becker at reception"
 Byrns' Picture In Scrap.
 Advocates of Mrs Gillcntine's candidacy contended "a photo- grapher was advantageously plac- ed" so he could take the picture. Byrns is from Tennesse and Mrs Gillentine is a native of that state. Her supporters contended the pie ture was taken in an attempt to try to convince the delegates that Byrns favored Mrs Becker.
 Mrs Becker's followers pointed out, however. that Byrnes had no vote and that the picture was taken in the lobby of hotel, winch Is considered neutral ground.
