BY GORDON ELWELL

Hundreds of suburbanites | tramped through the main ter- minal at the downtown station in- tent on reaching their offices be- fore the minute hand of the clock made them a few minutes late. They had no time to watch the stealthy actions of a middle-aged, gray haired man.
 He sidled up to a pompous-look- ing business man and reached a hand into his pocket after jostling him for a moment. With a hastily muttered apology the elderly man crept away. But Detective Sergeant Thomas Dillon saw the robbery and was hot in pursuit. He laid a heavy hand on the aged mans coat and said with a note of grim humor in his voice:
 Well, if 1t isn't old Dad Jenkins! Up to your old tricks. Guess the judge will be a-seein' you, dad. Come on along"
 The atmosphere of the police court was rank with cheap cigar smoke. Clerks rustled papers with imagined importance. Minor poli- ticians stalked up and down. Faces in the aisles showed despair, hope, rebellion.
 Finally a bailiff rapped for order.
 .
 Judge Walter Brannon sighed wearily and looked over his oal- endar with ill-concealed distaste. It was almost more than a one- man job taking care of this court, which handled all the cases of the city's downtown district.
 There was the Merlin Kidnapping he'd read about in the morning newspapers. That was good pub licity and election was only two weeks away. He would have that case called later to give the news photographers chance to make all the pictures they wanted.
 Three woman shoplifters. Sorry wretches. Probably probation for & year, with his form No. 2 lecture to each. Red Nicols, the burglar, again. He was tired of seeing Nicols and giving him the breaks. This time 1t would be six months in the house of correction.
 Sadie Hart-he'd warned her. Now it would be $25 fine. Then his eyes saw the name Samuel Jen- kins and the charge-pickpocket

their growing schedule now. This
may prove dangerous because the
last killing frost in Indianapolis is
generally around April II. The dry
ness of the soil has resulted in the
roots pushing further underground
in search of moisture.
Because the high and low pres
sure areas are moving more swiftly
than usual, it is almost impossible
to predict exactly what the weather
will be tomorrow or next week.
Mr.. Arlington believes that the
DUST which yesterday blinded
KanSas, will probably be in the air
for several years. The dust on the
dry western plains was lifted into
the air and above the clouds and
will be pushed about by the winds,
according to Mr.. Arlington.
Mr.. Arlington, along with most
weather experts, believes that the
year should properly begin with the
first day Of spring, because, at that
time. the earth begins to renew it
self.

PARIS, March PA story of q
confidential report" supposed to

Roosevelt, at his request, by three
American attaches at Berlin, was
published today as from IAN abso-

Agence Economique ct Financiere.
The report, said the newspaper.
was on German conditions and as
serted that peaceful evolution of the
Reich was impossible. The report,
it was said, argued that the Na1
government would endure, but that
there would be first a financial, then
an economic collapse in April due
to lack of raw materials and lirnita-
ton of imports to war materials.
According to the newspaper, the
report expressed concern lest indus

The report said German resources
were too restricted for the present

BONUS COMPROMISE
OFFERED IN HOUSE
Billion Dollar Slash Asked
by Democrat.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-In a
desperate, last minute maneuver to
halt the surging bonus drive in the
House, Rep. Sam D. McReynolds
3D., TennO today offered a COM
promise bill which would cut the
cost of immediate payment to
$1,OOO,O0O,O0O.
Rep. McReynolds' plan vas Of
fered in a final effort to head off
the apparently irresistible sweep of
House members toward passage of
a bonus measure. He said his plan
had not been discussed with the
Administration. However, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds is a recognized Admins
tration spokesman.
In offering his proposal to reduce
the cost of the bonus from
$2,000,000,000 to 100000, 900, he
warned that neither the Vinson nor
the Patman plans of paying the vet
Grams benefits ever could become
law.
