TWO DESPERADOES
NABBED IN WAYNE
Sawed Way Out of Pitt County Jail
In January After Alleged
Farmville Robbery

Goldsboro, May 20-(AP)
county deputies arrested two men to-
day and booked them as Frank p.
Simpson, 80, alias Dave Adams, of
Georgia, and Randolph Marshburn,
%, who the officers said sawed their
way out of the Greenville Jail last jan
uary while awaiting trial for $500
safe robbery in Farmville.
The deputies reported the men were
emptying nitroglycerine into sink
when surprised at a tourist camp five
miles from here.
A shotgun and burglary tools, they
said, were found in suitcase they
carried, including brace and bit, steel
drill, hacksaws, pliers, two sets of
South Carolina car license plates, one
set of Georgia plates, dynamite caps
and fuses, a quantity of ammunition
and a 38-calibre pistol.
Deputy Roy Pierce said Adams told
him and Deputies H. B. Gardner and
Bob Matthews he had served terms IN
Georgia and escaped from the Pitt
county jail while waiting to begin a
sentence of seven to nine years for
larceny. Pierce said Marshburn es-
caped with him. The two will be re-
turned to Pitt county.

Great Britain, France and the United
States was affected last September
after talks between Representatives of
the United States and spokesman for
each of the other countries.
Recently there have been sugges-

Bv CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, May 20.-How will the
United States meet it's next depres-
sion?
One hears this question asked with
surprising frequency in Washington's
official circles.
Senator Willard E. Tydings of
Maryland recently put it with extraor-
binary plainness. Another slump will
be due in 1899 or 1910, he said. He
quoted Chairman Mariner Eccles of
the Federal Reserve Board, former
Vice President Charles G. Dawes and
"all economists" as predicting it.
He agreed with them, too, when
it comes, as it must, what are we go
ing to dO?" he asked.
AN EXCEPTION
To me it seems queer that no pub
lie man, with one exception, inquiries:
"How is another depression to be
prevented?'
The exception is Secretary of Ag-
riculture Henry A. Wallace.
Wallace suggests the desirability of
hitting upon some plan to end the

Ignores His
Anniversary

Weald, England May 2O.-(AP)--
Colonel Charles Lindbergk studiously
avoided any of the fuss of celebration
today on the tenth anniversary of his
now historic solo flight from New
York to Paris.
He pottered about he garden OF his
country homo, Long Barn, in the man
ner of a man who has never achieved
fame and never wants to.
II did it. Why should l celebrate
it," Lindbergn was quoted by friend
as having answered when questioned
ABOUT his plans for the flight he made
decade ago.
A steady stream Of congratulatory
teleGrams poured in on TIE flying
colonel, but there were no telephone
calls.
Lindbergh had ordered the tele-
phone disconnected, so even well
wishers will have no chance to dis
turb the peace and privacy which ne
fled from the United States to Eng
land to seek in December, 1888.
