DISMISSED POLICE
HEAD HITS HOOVER
Leach, Indiana Chief, Gust
ed After F. B. |. Charges,
Asks Senate Probe.
By the Associated Press,

BY tuc ASSOClHleQ HTeSS,
INDIANAPOLIS, September A.
Matt Leach, dismissed today as captain
Of the Indiana State Police on charges
which State officials said were insti-
gated by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, Department of Justice,
blasted back accusing the Federal
officers with employing "foolhardy
methods in their fight on crime.
Leach, who had charge Of the State
police force when it was engaged in
the hunt for the notorious John Dill
lulger gangsters and the more recent
search for the desperate Al Brady
mob, said he would demand an in
vestigation by the United States Sen
ate of methods employed by J. Edgar
Hoover, head Of the F. B. l.
Don F. Silver, State safety director
who announced dismissal of Leach,
said the F. B. I. accused the officer
OF failure to cooperate with it in the
search for the Brady gangsters-Al
Brady, Clarence Dalhover and Clar-
ence Lee Shaffer, jr. This trio is
accused of killing two police officers
in Indiana and a Piqua, Ohio, grocery
clerk during a crime foray that in
cluded bank robberies and jeWelry
store hold-ups in Ohio and Indiana.
Leach. who has been head of the
State police since 1888, refused to
resign.
Saved G Mems Lives, He Says.
He issued a prepared statement in
which he said:
Il ask the United States Senate to
proceed with an investigation of J.
Edgar Hoover's methods and activities,
and expect accordingly to amplify my
statement"
After reviewing the search for the
Dilllnger gangsters, Leach said the
Federal officers. acting independently
of the. State police, once started to
Mooresville, Ind, the outlaws home
town, and by their actions caused q
citizen to report that the outlaw and
his gang were in the vicinity in two
machines.
These machines were found loaded
with armed members of the Depart
nent of Justice" Leach said. The
fact that I answered calls and ascer-
tanned facts before acting and COM
rnunicated same to local authorities
prevented Federal officers from being
mistaken for bandits
Lodged Formal Complaint.
-'These foolhardy methods of j.
Edgar Hoover made it necessary for
me to lodge formal complaint with
Gov. Paul V. McNutt against the poll
cies of the Department of Justice as
now operated, such being in the in
terest of the safety of the citizens
of Indiana, the laW-enforcement au-
thorities of this State, and the sub
ordinates of Mir. Hoover assigned to
Indiana"
To the accusation that he had
failed to Cooperate with the Federal
officers Leach made the counter
charge that Hoover has in the past
failed to cooperate" with the In
diana State police.
Hoover could not be reached in
Washington for comment on Leach's
statement.
Silver said representative of Hoo
yer had threatened to sever relations"
with Indiana State police if Leach
continued as head of the depart
ment.
Silver in list of II charges charged
that Leach had publicly slandered
officials and members of the F. B. t."
and had directed his officers against
cooperating with the Federal depart
ment in the Brady gang search.

NEW YORK. September 4.-The
Government today turned the heat"
on Johnny Torrio, swarthy former boss
of Al Capone in Chicago gangdom, by
attempting the same strategy that
sent Capone up Tor long term in
Alcatraz Prison.
After celebrating for nearly three
months over the testimony of 100
frightened witnesses. a special Fed
eral grand jury returned two indict-
ments charging Torrio with failure to
pay and conspiracy to evade income
taxes between 1888 and 1895.
Torrio, New York's public enemy
No. g." and an active figure in the
liquor business, was free under $780,
900 cash bail put up by his wife after
Federal agents seized him in White
Plains in April, 1886. in connection
with the suspected offenses.
Torrio was going into the White
Plains post Office for passport pre-
paratory to leaving the country when
arrested.
Named in the conspiracy indictment
with Torrio were his brother-in law,
William Slockbower. and Louis G. La
Cava and John D'Agostino, both re-
puted former Capone associates.
The non-payment indictment
against Torrio specified amounts for
the years 1888 and 1885 totaling. with
penalties, $l10,27680. If found guilty
he faces maximum sentences totaling
II years in prison and $4,000 fines.
After his release on bail on the Fed
eral charges, Torrio was promptly re-
arrested on a local forgery charge in
connection with financial note. His
wife produced $4,000 more for his re-
lease on that charge.
Then he professed to be living quiet
ly in his Queens home, but Police
Commissioner Lewis Valentine put him
on the public enemy list, and issued
"harassment" order for his arrest
ON sight. The order was said to have
been instigated by Mayor F. H. La
Guardia, incensed at Torrios easily
produced bail.
The prosecutor said many of the
witnesses before the grand jury were
so frightened they couldn't talk or
were unable to recollect.'

TIN COMMITTEE
INCREASES QUOTAS
Production Schedule Boosted to
10 Per Cent of Basic
Tonnages in Pact.

Ry the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 12.-The Interna-
tional Tin Committee today increased
the tin production quotas of partici-
pating countries by 10 per cent to ITO
per cent of the basic tonnages set in
the international restriction agree
ment. The step-up is effective
through the second quarter of the
year.
The action was taken as result of
the recent rapid increase to world
prices. 1t was followed by spectac-
ular drop in prices of the metal in
Singapore and similar fall in the
London Metal Exchange.
The slump here at one time was as
much as S157 ton at $3.50, but a
later recovery carried the quotation to
81, ASS at the close, net loss of $52
Copper, which touched new seven
year highs yesterday also reacted, de-
clining to S382.50 ton, loss Of
$3.50.
In addition to allowing expanded
| production the committee requested
participating countries to permit ex-
port of all available stocks at the
! mines irrespective of quota limits, but
! subject to adjustment to the quotas
later. This was expected to make
much larger quantities available
shortly.
The increased quotas is expected to
| add 2,700 tons monthly to visible
stocks.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March a.
Daily Metal Trade today says:
Despite the fact consumers recently
covered heavily against their prospec-
tive requirements, demand for iron
and steel products continues brisk.
In some lines there has been practi-
cally no let-up in buying despite the
advance in prices, and new business
is coming through at the higher QUO
tations apparently with the only con-
Germ Of buyers being to get on mill
rolling schedules as early as possible
This is particularly noticeable in
sheets on which deliveries are ex-

Contributing to current activity is
the continued brisk demand from
abroad, particularly the Orient. Price
adjustments continue to be made by
producers on various products, all In
