TWO BOY BANDITS
 CAUSED BIG STIR

Washington, Jan. 14-(UP)-Two boy bandits, whose two-day crime career was debated for 90 minutes yesterday in the senate, were held at police headquarters today after their arrest in nearby Virginia inn. The 14-year-old 'flancee" of one of them, who told police she had accompan- jed them in a series of hold-up Wednesday and Thursday, also was detained for questioning.
 The three surrendered late last night to 12 policemen armed with machine guns, automatic rifles and shotguns. The boys and girl were playing card game in the lobby of Woodbridge inn in Woodbridge, Va. To police they identified themselves as Ellis M. Tippett, 20, and Els worth J. Tippett, IT, of Ardmore, Md, brothers; and Margaret O'Brien, IA, also of Ardmore. The blonde haired, blue-eyed girl told a police matron that she ran away from home Tuesday. She said Ellis had promised to marry her. We'd nesday night, she said, the boys drank liquor to fortify themselves for a series of hold-ups, then re- fused to let her go home. The boys admitted seven hold-ups, and said they were Glad it's over".

WALTER O'HARA
 IN WASHINGTON

Providence, R. T., Jan. 14-OP)- Walter E. OHara Was in Washing ton today to enlist the indirect aid of the Securities and Exchange commission in his fight to retain his $75 ,000-a-year post as president and managing director of Narragansett Park horse race track. Since Mar ragansett stock was sold under SEC rules, he believed the commission s approval would be required for any proxies or letters submitted at a special stockholders meeting, Feb. g, when OHara's fate will be decided. Governor Robert E. Quinn, who closed Narragansett park last Co., tober with proclamation of martial law, has announced that there will be no more racing at the track while O'Hara remains at the helm.
 Before entraining last night for the capital, O'Hara reported there was movement among the tracks directors to place Judge James E. Dooley at the head of the track.
 Judge Dooley became owner of 30,000 shares of stock as a gift from me-" OHara said. But now Judge Dooley is biting the hand that fed him."
 T am willing to abide by the ma jority of stockholders" OHara as- serted, "and not by decision of a group who would steal from the per- son who created Narragansett race track"

 LOTTERY RAID
They Are Indicted From Eight States - 50 Dif-
 ferent Lottery Games

Binghampton, N. r., Jan. IA (UP)-Seventy-one persons from eight states were under indictment today in what federal authorities described as drive to smash the biggest organized lottery syndicate in the eastern United States. Charged with conspiracy and ship ment of the tickets in interstate commerce, the Il include residents of New York, New Jersey, Massa- chusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is- land, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut.
 50 Different Lotteries
 Alleged operators of more than 50 different lotteries were among those indicted. They were rounded up by G-men who had been working on the case for several months.
 Most of the Il persons now are awaiting arraignment They were arrested in series of raids after a sealed indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Syracuse last month.
 The indictments returned by the federal grand jury here yesterday are broader than those returned at Syracuse for they include opera tionS at Cohoes, where printing plant was raided early last week. Whereas the Syracuse true bill named 69 persons, the new one ac- cuses Fl, including eight new per- sons while six previously indicted were dropped. Federal officials said the eight new indictments were based largely on raids at Little Falls and Cohoes and covers operations from January, 1885, to January 13, 1888.
 Two Women Named
 Two women were named, Lillain Sherman of Somerville, Mass, wife of one of the first men to be taken into custody, and Miss Lillian RosenStein, also of Somerville.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney A. E. Gold refused to comment on whether the T would be tried here during the current term of federal court. It was understood, however, that they will be arraigned here. Some, the government expects, will plead guilty.

knowledge of city conditions during the past eight years" the Spokes- man continued. "It is 8 very easy matter for anyone to remark when an mergency arises: The city must take care of it.
 Perhaps it would be well to re- call to the taxpayers that the city did take care of such items as the charter commission cost, more than $1O0,000; large appropriations to the Mutual Aid; costs of snow removal in such times as the blizzard of 1933 when thousands of men were put to work; all of these without definite appropriation accounts, out of general funds.
 Frequently Due City
 Presently, there is due the city towards the specific 'overdrafts' of MT. Rowland, about $100,O00 in bond issues approved by the board of finance but not sold, the items cost defrayed from the general fund. Among these items, facts of which the controller appears to have no tendency to submit to his publicity organs, are the following:
 "Tompkins street pumping station $28,O00.
 Municipal abattoir, $35,0O0.
 Washington park community house, $10,000.
 Additionally, there are bond payments on the municipal golf course, Hamilton park pavilion and other projects which were taken from the general fund and will be returned to the general fund when the park departments projects are functioning and show a profit.
 It was remarked that the con- trollers estimate of what consti- tutes a deficit" was made before the December accounts had been com- pleted and before numerous trans fers of items to their proper classifi- cations had been made in several city departments. Inasmuch as the anticipated revenues of the city dur ing the administrations tenure ex- ceed by three times the amount of Controller Rowland's estimate" the spokesman of the administration said: The present attack has proved nothing more than what was antici- pated would result from the Fusion victory in electing one major city official last fall"

 can't answer because it is still baf- fled by it's own success on the street where dollars are heard to pluck. It all started about year ago when 40 girls and boys from the union used to meet after work and go through songs and dances. Along came a man named Harold J. Rome who said he had been trying for three years to sell some songs and lyrics to theatrical producers with no luck. Lately he had been visiting the summer theaters with the same amount of luck. Today he is known as the composer of "Sing Me Song of Social Significance" and One Big Union for Two, both of them hits, but Rome still plays one of the pianos in the pit.
 Players From Ranks
 Rome and Charles Friedman, a director, took Al Eben from Cloak makers local IT; Ruth Rubenstein from Underwear local 32; Anne Brown from Knitgoods local 155; Murray Modick from Pressers' local 160; Lynne Jaffee from Dressmak- CTS local g and about 25 more, and proceeded to give the wise guys along Broadway headache.
 At first the boys and girls stuck to their jobs and did their acting after hours. Then they went on a halliday at the shop, and now most of them are deVoting all their time to Pins and Needles"
 They Are All Paid
 The highest paid of them receives $40 week; the lowest paid, $25. All of them are on leave of absence from their jobs and plan to return to work when and if Pins and Needles" closes. All profits go to the unions recreation and culture fund. So far $50,000 has been spent re- modelling the small theater in which the revue plays and $12,000 was n- vested in the production. Any day now the whole project will be writ ten off the books.
 What puts it all across is clever ness. Every song and every Skit is written from the viewpoint on labor But the first chorus informs you of that with the refrain we've Got Ideas" The rich are lampooned in a dance called "Doin' the Reaction ary"; Hitler, Eden, Mussolini and the emperor of Japan are imperson- ated in skit entitled -Four Little Angels of Peace" which ends with them machine gunning one another.
 Much Excitement
 The whole production still has the excitement of all amateur shows. Fly Goldstein, impersonating An thony Eden, loses his false mus tache, but just laughs it of. Anne Browns husband is so excited over

 Further, Commissioner John H Gloss, nominated by MT. Judge as potential director of an audit of the city affairs which the controller has been seeking for several weeks, ap- proved the issues, it was testified. Tax Need Absurd
 In light of the considerable sum specifically part of the proceeds of the city and against which any de ticitS" might be charged, the admin tstration spokesman found absurd" the stories in the Republican and the American relating to the prob able need for imposition of special tax of 2 1-2 mills to cover the de- hcit."
 There is not only no deficit, :" The Democrat was informed, but the affairs of the city under the eight years of Mayor Frank Hayes administration will be shown to have a very considerable surplus. Evi- dence of the political nucleus of this tRtbdCA OlI dQIll1ll1SUl dUIOIl dA4dAAO Ao found in this fact and many more which will be developed as they are Hound of sufficient concern to the Taxpayers to warrant reply"
 Employees Prosecuted ' The administration regards as Serious the persecution of various scity employees in the columns of the Republican and the American is the definite scheme of propaganda Against the administration" it was stressed. But publication of pay 'ments for services rendered the city by various employees was con- .sidered "only part of long planned program to besmirch the employees named"
 as Controller Rowland, through his media, had charged that "overdrafts" in city accounts for the eight years Of the administration" would total '$485 ,000" and that about $186,000" Of balance remained, leaving "de- felt" of about $300,000

 s General Han was charged specific ally with failing to keep sufficient force in the defense of Tsinan, fail- ing to defend Yenchow and with in- ability to check the Japanese at Tsining until reinforcements arrived. In addition, he clashed verbally with Gen. Ii Tsung-Jen, Chinese com smander along the Tientsin-Pukow railroad, whose forces at Hsuchow swcre imperiled by the fall of Tsin- .ing.
 The Central (Chinese) News .Agency claimed today that Chinese troops had recaptured Tsining for the second time but gave no details of the battle.

 Unionyist fellow countrymen here upon all matters of mutual interest once the countrys unity has been established"
 Although Northern Ireland is predominantly Protestant there is a strong Catholic Nationalist minority, particularly in Belfast and the two bordering counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone, which returned Repub- licans to the British parliament in the last general election.
 Northern Ireland, although an in- tegral part of the United Kingdom, has its own parliament with limited, local jurisdiction. In the last Ulster general election in 1883 the results gave the following balance of pow CT: Unionists, B seats; Independent UnionistS, 2; NationaliSts g, Labor l; Fianna Fail (allied to De Valera's party in Eire) 1; Irish Republican 1.
 De Valeras proposal for joint council met with little favorable re- action here.

BESS EHRHARDT
 WED Is MONTHS

Boston, Jan. 14-(UP)-Bess Ehr- hardt of Superior, Wis, the Sonia Henie of America" and her figure skating instructor partner Roy Ship stad of St. P'ul, Minn., have been married secl --2 for Is months.
 The couple, cc-stars of the Ice FollieS of 1938' now on national tour admitted to the United Press last night that they eloped to Hudson, Wis, Oct. 13, 1936-a fortnight be- fore their company started on it's first countrywide tour.
 Were so tired of denying rumors that we might as we'll admit now it's so. Yes, we are married" They said the secret ceremony was performed by German minister whose name they could not recall. Miss Ehrhardt, the nations newest figure skating sensation, is 20. Shipstad, Americas outstanding professional figure skat- CT is 27.
 The romance that resulted in mar riage started in 1882 at Duluth, Minn., where the pretty brunette star, then only IS. had gone to learn figure skating. Her instructor there was Shipstad. They did not see each other again until more than two years later when they teamed in a skating show at Chicago. After skat- ing together a year they decided, they said, that they could combine a career with marriage.

 Three men who had been dining with Watts finally stopped the af- fray.
 It started when Kirkland walked over to the critics table and threw down his glove as the gage of battle. Watts followed Kirkland to the bar and there he received, without warn ing, a punch that sent him down to, one knee.
 "Tortilla Flat" dramatizaticn of John Steinbeck's novel of the same name, opened Wednesday night. Watts review said that Kirk land had missed the gentleness of the Steinbeck characters and had writetn "a sly and disagreeable chronicle"

 What I told them is beside the point. I determined at once to tell the story whether the mayor made it public or not.
 This trivial incident and it's magnification are only examples of the persecution which I see as calculated to apply a muzzle on facts which the public is en- titled to know.
 Similar persecution will not have any result with me AS long as the people want me to serve them as controller, that office will be honestly, fearlessly and efficiently administered or the people will know why.

FRENCH CRISIS
 FACES LEBRUN
Continued from Page D

HUH | 1SC A/ form a new, reorganized ministry. Chautemps refused, and the pres- ident prepared to pick another can- didate.
 By noon, the first efforts to form a cabinet seemed slowly taking form. Lebrun was after a make shift cabinet, to rule during a criti- cal period. He wanted in it as many senators as possible-senators with names known throughout the world-in order to inspire confi- dence at home and abroad in the countrys basic solidity.
 With such an all star line up the president hoped that the budget could be balanced; the treasury filled; the franc protected; the bit- ter fight between capital and labor, persistent since the popular front took office, ended.
 Sarraut Mentioned
 Albert Sarraut was mentioned, among others, as possible premier and probably also minister of in- terior-the public order authority.
 Lebrun's effort to form a radical Socialist ministry dependent for a parliamentary majority on support of other parties, was taken as a clear indication that the left wing popular front was ruptured.
 Admittedly, it was political crisis of the first order, precipitated at a time of extreme delicacy in internal and foreign problems.
 The split in the popular front was definite; it threatened to be final. First Communists, then Socialists, had refused to support Premiem Chautemps in the chamber, where he sought a vote of confidence in currency and budgetary problems. The Socialists, as the result, had re- signed from the cabinet, and in turn the entire cabinet had resigned. The radical Socialists had been left alone in what was three-party popular front.
 Communists Are Sorry
 Communists, who precipitated the crisis, seemed regretful today, and their parliamentary leader, Arthur Ramete, said:
 We did not desire to overthrow the government. We hope the popular front, born of the 1886 elec- tions, may be preserved. We hope that unity of Communists, Social ists and radical Socialists may con- tinue."

Washington, Jan.

The president in drastic lang uage revealed plans to carry into all business the holding company elimination campaign started by the new deal in the utilities field. He cited banking specifically as an era in which the administration objects to holding company control. 1mme- diately after stating his views in 8 press conference, MT. Roosevelt left his executive office for an important conference in the White House it. self.

 Those who met with him there were: John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Or ganization; Phillip Murray, Lewis chief lieutenant; Owen D. Young, chairman, General Electric Com- pany; Thomas w. Lamont, J. P. Morgan Company, partner; Adolph Berle and Charles Taussig, brain trusters of the early new deal era. MT. Roosevelt declared that specific methods of proceeding against banking and business holding com- panies had not been determined but uttered his unalterable opposition to such structures and emphasized that by no means would the new deal consent to modification of the "death sentence" imposed on utili- ties holding companies by the hold ing company act of 1885.
