Brady and Aide
Slain by G-Men
In Street Battle
Another Gnngster
And Federal Agent
Are Wounded

BANGOR, Me-, Oct. IL G.N.S.).
The reign Of Indiana's Second
Dillinger gang" wss brought to a
grim and dramatic finale today
when q contingent Of G-men and
local policemen shot and killed AL
Brady, Americas public enemy
No. /, and a lieutenant, Clarence
Lee Shaffer, jr., and wounded
third bandit, James Dalhover.
The three were moved down in
a sensational gun battle in the
heart Of the business district.
OMAN WOUNDED
One Of the Omen, Walter
Walsh, was wounded as bullets
splattered all over the scene Of
the battle. He was rushed to a
hospital while the lone survivor OF
the bandit trio was taken to police

Brady, who had been designated
by J. Edgar Hoover, director Of
the Federal Bureau Of Investigar
tion, as the nations chief public
enemy, had been wanted for at
least three murders and . score Of
bank robberies in the middle west.
The 26-year-old bandit leader
and his confederates were trapped
after they had made three visits
to Bangor, presumably from
Bridgeport, Conn. They had come
here to buy special type guns.
LYING IN WAIT
The local authorities were
tipped that the gangsters were
making visits to Bangor. The po-
lice here forwarded this informa-
ton to the Department of Justice
at Washington. The result was
that when the bandits arrived
here this morning in an automo-
bile, at least ten G-Men and ten
local officers were lying in wait.
Shortly after $3.50 a. m. the
bandit car came to stop in front
of Dakin's sporting goods store
where the gangsters previously
had been dickering for gun pur-
chaSeS.
G.Men were sitting in cars near
by and also were stationed near
the windows Of an office building
directly across the street from the
store. Local police were scattered
in the vicinity and several officers
were IN the store.
Dalhover got out of the car and
walked into the store. Behind the
counter, acting as clerk, was G.
Man Walsh.
"Up with your hands!" snap
ped Walsh.
KNOCKED DOWN
Dalhover made a break for the
rear of the store. Police officers
intercepted him. as he was dash

Tapponier, who is said to be a
waiter in local restaurant, had
patch over a cut on his eye and
several other cuts and bruises on
his face and body when he was

Needless Of advance notification,
six Japanese war planes machine
gunned a cavalcade of British En-.
bassy motor cars at Minghong, Is

threatening grave international
complications in the Far Eastern
crisis.
No one was injured, but British
authorities took an extremely seri-

trary to Japanese denials, this
correspondent learned the British

subjects, including a diplomatic
attache, would make the hazard
Gus 150-mile trip from Nanking
to Shanghai through the war zone.
TAKE REFUGE IN bitches
This precaution was taken be.
cause of the recent wounding Of
Sir Hughe Knatchbull -Hugessen.
British Ambassador to China, by
a Japanese machine-gunner on the
same road few weeks ago.
Taking a lesson from Sir Hughes
experience, the victims of today'S
attack saved their lives by halting
the cars and diving into bitches
along the side of the road while
the Japanese planes roared close
to them and discharged several
belts Of machine gun bullets, which
spattered in the road.
The British supplied the Japa-
nese with a complete list Of the
prospective passengers. The
japanese had promised that when
ever such advance notification was
given, Japanese aviators would be
instructed to exercise the greatest
care not to attack.

The incident was aggravated oy
the fact that one of the official
cars bore a huge, treShly-painted

BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt tonight will
tell the world he intends to keep
right on down the New Deal path.
He will do this by a nationwide
hook-up of all possible radio facil-
tiles; will talk for approximately
81 minutes beginning at $3.50 p. m.
Coming back from a Western
tour which had all the earmarks
of a campaign trip so far as the
enthusiasm of the crowd was con-
cerned, the President believes the
country as he saw it is still a hun
dred per cent in favor Of the New
Deals attitude toward crops, farm.
ers, workerS-and the Supreme
Court. Z.
Although the Presidents radio
address will not be finished until
late today, it can be stated that
he is now considering half a dozen
subjects, including wage-and-hour
legislation over which Congress
wrangled internally during much
Of the recent session.
TO CITE RECORD CROPS
It is believed now the President
Is all set to drive that red-hot
legislative spike right through a
protesting South.
He also will probably call at
tention to this years tremendous
crops in every agricultural essen
tial, and demand that the Gov
ernment be given perfect right to
control the principal American
crops-as in the days before the
Supreme Court knocked out the
Triple A and its cash benefits to
farmers who kept their crops
down.
OTHER PROBLEMS
The President may take another
crack at the Supreme Court; he
kept reminding rear-platform audi
ences on his Western trip that the
New Deal cornerstones-AAA and
NRA-had been removed by a
court which was not responsible
to the public.
The President may also touch
again on the international situa-
ton.

His general thought was THAT
we are Gods children" He said
that we can not belong to God and
still be tied to the things of the
world. He said it is the duty of
the church to help save the world
and make war on those things that
ate not in keeping with such.
1t is really pitiful to think of
those who are approaching the
Christmas season and have no
room in their hearts and programs
for true Christmas. or Christ-like
spirit.
