Raymond Hamilton and an outlaw
companion today were believed to
have eluded an elaborate army Of
man-hunters to escape into the
Southwest.
Search for the Southwest's No.
desperate spread into Okla
homa, where it was reported that
the pair had raced through Tulsa
in stolen automobile, apparently
headed for Hamilton's old Texas
stamping ground.
The fugitives were believed to
be armed with a sub-machine gun,
rifles and several pistols.
National Guardsmen and posses
mobilized in Mississippi after the
pair spread a reign of terror with
the looting of a bank at Prentiss,
Miss, still were searching ROADS
and highways in this area early

Hamilton and his unidentified
pal released two hostages here
after holding them captive for
18 hours.
M. E. Smith, farm agent, and
Ralph Bayliss, a Mississippi mer'

rumble seat of an automobile the
outlaw pair abandoned in down
town Memphis.
Another commandeered car, to
which their guns were trans
ferred, was thought to have been
used in the flight from Memphis.

AINTREE, England, March 80
G.N.SD.-In a sensational dupli-
cation Of the failure that put
him out of the running in the
Grand National yesterday, Golden
Miller, Britain wonder horse"
threw his jockey at the first
fence in the Champion Steeple-
chase here today.
Jockey Gerry Wilson, who
slipped off Golden Miller's
shoulder when the famous
jumper faltered at a fence half
way around the Grand National
yesterday, was up again today,
and for the second time in "a
hours parted company with his
mount.
Whitney Horse Wins
Golden Miller had started out
favorite to win the Champion
Steeplechase at even money, de-
spite his amazing failure yester-
day.
John H. "Jock" Whitney's Dou-
BILE Crossed won the Champion
going away. He paid 10 to l..
Golden Miller'S second upset
in as many days threw racing
circles into a turmoil.
Threat to BOOkieS
Newspaper pictures Of the
Grand National showing the
horse apparently running true
with Wilson on the ground i'm
mediately led to speculation,
some of it of an ugly nature.
It sprang from the fact that
had Golden Miller won yester.
day, English bokmakers would
have sustained the worst disaster
in years.
More than 100000 was placed
in single bets on Golden Miller
and thousands had doubled" on

Grand National victory ever
seemed more certain than that
Of Golden Miller.
Five Million at Stake
Had he won the "bookies'
would have been compelled to pay
out no less than $5.000,000 in

win would have put scores OF
minor firms out of business,
and even the biggest and best
would have been hard pressed to
meet their obligation.
But Golden Miller faltered,
Jockey Wilson tumbled, and the
"bookies" drew their first easy
breath in days. The horses Sec
ond failure served only to fan
the flames of controversy.
Golden Miller lost his heart.
This was the contribution today
by Jockey Wilson to the contro-
versy raging over the horses fail
ure in the classic yesterday.
Wilson said:
"GOIden Miller seemed to lack
heart or perhaps the difficulties
of the course worried him.
'T never got a good feel. He
seemed to be firm on the ground,
although when I was going in

had to keep kicking him to

NJ M'LEOD SCORES
BANK SECRECY

Removal Of the "c1oak Of Sc
crecy that surrounds the opera
ton of receivership banks" was
demanded today by Representa-
tive Clarence j. Mcleod (R.) Of
Michigan when introducing q
resolution calling on the House
Banking and Currency Committee
to inquire into receivers salaries
attorneys fees and other Iquidat
ing expenses.
The resolution directs the com
mittee to secure the information
and report to the House. Under
House rules the committee must
act on the resolution within q
week.
Mr.. Mcleod said:
"The recent rumOrs that at
tOrney's fees in HQuidating the
assets of the two large Detroit
banks run as high as quarter
of q million dollars each, serve
to emphasize the necessity for
abandoning the rigid policy Of
secrecy which is withholding eS-
Sential information from de-
pOSitOrs and the public.
"The receivers and all other
liquidating officers are servants
of the people and are paid from
the funds of the depOsitOrs.
Under these circumstances both
the depOsit0rs and the public
have every right to know for
what purposes their money Is
being expended"

TUGWELL IS HUB
Of RELIEF TILT
International News Service


Rexford Guy Tugwell, Under
secretary of Agriculture, became
the storm center of a new Con.
gressional controversy today as
a result Of proposals made by
him for revision of the 4,800 mil.
lion dollar work-relief bill.
Mr.. Tugwel, who survived a
Senate fight against confirma-
ton last session and has just
been made chief of big land
program, was charged with at
tempting to project socialism
into the works program.
The Tugwell proposals, which
were rejected in the secret Sen
ate-House conference on the works
bill, affected a 500 million dollar
ALLEGATION for rural rehabilitation
and a 100 million dCIar program
for rural electrification.
He urged that the rural re-
Mobilization program includ e
acquisition of farms, farm lands
and necessary equipment for crop
pers and farm laborers."
He also urged that industrial
sections be included in the re-
Mobilization program, and that
authority be given to supplement
persons receiving deficient"
wages.
Another proposal, affecting
rural identification, was to grant
power to use Federal funds "for
generation, production, transpor-
tation or distribution of electricity
in the rural areas"

INQUIRY.
CLOSES, MORE
|. .POL|CEH|NTED
Intention of Congress Groups
To Approve Appropriation
Increase Indicated

With the House Crime Investl-
eating Committee hearings ended
yesterday, one of the most prob
able and earliest results will be
an increase in the District police
force, it appeared today.
One recommendation that every
official and nearly every other wit
ness before the committee has
made strongly is that the police
force be increased substantially.
Perhaps this alone would have
little effect as far as this years
appropriation is concerned, but
meanwhile yesterday, Major Ern-
est w. Brown, superintendent Of
police, was recalled before the Sen
ate District Appropriations sub
committee and, after he had re-
iterated his need for an additional
1876 men, subcommittee members
gave the distinct impression that
at least some part Of the majors
request would be recommended by
that group.
Cannon Hints Approval
Nor would this subcommittee's
action have as deep meaning II
it were not for recent statement
on the floor of the House by Rep
resentative Clarence Cannon CD.
of Missouri, chairman Of the
House District Appropriations sub
committee. Even if the Senate
votes more police for the District,
House conferees usually win OUT
on such matters and put the ap-
preparation back where it was as
it left the House.
Mr., Cannon, however, took the
floor and resented implications
that his subcommittee did not
give the police department. all 1t
wanted. He continued in a tasn-
ion which implied that if Major
Brown should make known the
necessity for increasing the per-
sonnel of the police force his sub
committee colleagues would ap-
prove the increase.
In view of the Senate's subcom-
mittee's apparent Willingness 10
vote the police force increase, Mr..
Cannon's statement, and the tes-
timony before the Crime Commit
tee, it appears practically assured
that the increase will be voted by
Congress.
Report Due Soon
The Crime Investigating Com
mittee will begin to write its re-
port probably next week. It's rec
concentrations no doubt will cover
wide field.
Condemnation of some of the
practices of precinct captains and
other higher officials in all prob
ability will be the extent to which
the committee will go concerning
charges of improper actions OF the
officials and inefficiency super
vision from an administrative
standpoint. BY the time the COM
mittee is ready to report it is ex-
pected some action along this line
will have been taken by District
officials themselves.
More definite criticism will be
leveled at the administration Of
the District Attorneys office, it IS
believed, along with some criticism
of the District Attorney himself.
Reactions of committee mem
bers to inquiries also indicate that
recommendations will be made
for alteration of methods of de-
termining ratings for the police
men and for merging the park and
metropolitan police.
The committee also is believed
prepared to advocate a detailed
study by some other group of the
prosecuting system and possible re-
organization of the Police Depart
ment with view to more eff
cheney and justice.

BOYS IN COUNTY
HOLD PICNIC
HYATTsVuLE, Nd, March 30.

HYATTSVILLE, Md, March 30.
Athletic contests, games and re-
freshments marked the opening
of the Hyattsville Boys Club sum-
mer outdoor season at a picnic
today at Magruder Park. Nearly
100 boys participated.
Supported and managed by the
Associated Charities for under
privileged boys of HyattSville and
vicinity, the club is unique in that
since it's founding two years ago
it has been run entirely by women.
Mrs. T. w. Venemann, of River
dale, Md, chairman of the Boys
Club committee, and Mrs. K. j.
Morris, president of the associa-
tion, have supervised the meet
ings and have been largely inStru-
mental in it's success.
During the past winter months
the club room in the Charities
Building in HyattSville has been
opened three nights a week for
the use Of the boys, and, although
the membership of the club is less
than so, the club has maintained
an "open house" for all youngsters
Of the neighborhood. It is esti-
mated that almost 800 boys be-
tween the ages of six and 18 used
the facilities of the club this
winter. During the summer the in
door meetings of the club will be
discontinued.
This summer the boys will be
under the management of Stan
leigh E. Jenkins, physical educa-
ton director of HyattSville High
School. He will be assisted by
Tedd Glasgow, a former athlete at
the high school.

BITTER BAT TIE
,FORESEEN BY
BOTH SIDES
G. o. P. Charges Use of Fed
, eraI Funds by Democrats
f. To Get Votes

The bittrest political battle of
the generation was forecast by
national political leaders today as
a sharp statement from Agricul.
ture Secretary Henry I. Wallace
aroused Republican leaders to lay
down the first barrage in the 1886
campaign.
The first gun was fired by Sec.
retary Wallace, who reiterated a
statement he made last night be-
fore the Oxon Hill Democratic
Club at Oxon Hill, Md, in the
midst of an address on farm con.
troll. He said:
'cI believe the coming cam
paign will be the bittereSt in
the memory Of many now
living"
Hastings Agrees
Shortly after his statement to-
day, which he refused to amplify,
saying this phase of his address
was merely incidental to the
theme of his speech" Senator
Daniel O. Hastings, chairman of
the Republican senatorial cam
paign committee, hastened to
agree with the Cabinet officer
and fully explained his position.
He said:
II am somewhat surprised
that Secretary Wallace should
have made such . statement.
I thought he was one member
of the Cabinet who was not
politically minded, but I agree
with him that this will be a
bitter campaign.
"It will be so because more
Government money will be spent
in this campaign than ever be-
fore. They have got a greater
fund and it has a. greater spread
than ever before. I wouldn't ac-
cuse Secretary Wallace Of doing
this, however.
PARTY SPLIT FORESEEN
'This campaign will be bitter
because a lot of Democrats are
going to work to elect q lot of
Republicans. I believe that mil
lions Of Democrats in both the
North and South will join with
the Republicans in, this cam
paign to elect Republicans. 1t
will undoubtedly be q very bitter
contest"
In his speech last night Secre-
tary Wallace declared he thought
the nation was progressing toward
better understanding of the fact
that a creditor nation with high
tariff must learn that increased
foreign purchasing power is neces-
sary to help the farmers. He said
that until we get more foreign
products coming to this country
we will have to continue farm
control.
He also stated that he was dis
guested with those who pleaded
for special interests and ask for a
unity in purpose in regard to the
nations economic policy.
DemagOgues FIayed
The report from Oxon Hill
quoted Mr.. Wallace as saying in
his address there last night:
The next presidential CAM
paign will be the meaneSt,
most bitterly fought in history"
Leading the fight, he said, will
be the "demagogues and agi-
tators" who speak for the oppos-
ing party. He added:
"The people will doubt the
Republican party as much as if
lt were in power now"
Secretary Wallace was intro.
duced to the club by. Assistant
Secretary of State Sumner Welles,
a native of Oxon Hill. George
N. Cox, president of the club,
was chairman of the session.
