Brady Gang Wiped Out

r asst of the big "mobs" of bank
IL robbers and murderers, the
Brady gang was wiped out in a gun
battle with federal agents at Bangor,
Maine. AL Brady, the leader, and
Clarence Shaffer, Jr., his lieutenant,
were killed; and James Dalhover
was wounded and captured. The
outlaws were recognized by clerk
in a sporting goods store and the
Omen were summoned. Dalhover
was to be taken to Indiana to stand
trial for the murder of state po-
liceman, one of four killings attrib-
uted to the gang. He made full
confession, and search began for
persons who had been aiding them.
The gangsters' capture was be-
lieved to have nipped potential
New England crime wave. Floor
plans of two banks were found in
Dalhover's possession with maps of
nearby roads.

Palestine Terrorism

violence in Palestine, but appar-
emily without success. The Arabs
continued their attacks on the Jew
ish people and buildings and in
Jerusalem began using bombs.
Gen. A. P. Wavell, commander Of
the 10000 British troops in Pales-
tine, ordered the homes of Arab
terrorists burned, following the de-
struction of Kalandia airport, near
LYDIA, with an estimated loss of
$4,000.
Sixty persons were arrested for
