Leaks can result in stained walls
and floors, falling plaster ceilings,
damage to furnishings and weak
ening of timbers. Proper flashing
can prevent them. Flashing is need
ed when one roof surface intersects
another, where chimneys and dor
mers project above or through the
roof. Windows and doors need
flashing particularly at the heads to
make them Watertight.

Karpis was up and Blondy scored
a third time.
He must have bounced Karpis
up and down a half-dozen times
before the gun-bull gave up trying
to do two things at once and
concentrated on telephoning for
help.
Davis, of course, made the hole.
Not long after that, long
bladed knife, smuggled out of the
kitchen in a garbage can, was
found in Karpis' mattress. The
electric stool-pigeon-the portable
one that they roll through the
dollhouse just to run mattresses
through-found it. Karpis yelled
bloody murder, said he just got
that mattress from the renoVator
and didn't know how the knife
got there.
His bleat didn't save him from
the Hole, but it added an explana
ton to the two that the cons doped
out. One said Creepy was keeping
the knife for a guy. The other
said he was keeping it for himself
trying to work up courage enough
to go after Blondy.

ALL TIES CUT
Martin Seeks
Strike Peace

DETROIT. Nov. IL G.N.SO.
Automobile Workers Union Presi-
dent Homer Martin today was
back from CIO meetings in Pitts
burgh to lead negotiations in
settlement of the Budd strike.
Nine thousand were left idle by
the strike of Budd Wheel Com
pany employees who walked out
Thursday in protest against the
discharge of two shop stewards
who were passing out petitions for
NLRB recognition to workers in
the shop.
The strike left about 1000 Budd
workers idle and forced 5000 Pack
ard Motor workers into idleness
through lack of supplies.
Martin also was to confer with
Hudson Motor Car Company Of
ficials today after the executive
board gave the workers sanction
to strike because of failure tc
reach an agreement on new con
tract. Martin explained the au
thoriZation was not an order tt
strike, but sanction of any strike
move the local may make.
Federal conciliator James Dewey
met with Budd officials and unior
leaders yesterday but was unable
to affect a settlement.

The anti aircraft gun is

The new anti-tank gun is of
the same caliber but is of light
weight and great mobility. It, too

DEATH ON TANKS
The gun crew is protected by

The two weapons embody many

Bristol Denies
NelU Turk Head
Is Deaf Mute

Press reports from Ankara, Tur
key, to the effect that Gen. Ismet
Ineune, newly elected president OF
Turkey, is a deaf mute, we're vigor
ously denied here today by Real
Admiral Mark L. Bristol, former
High Commissioner with rank Of
Ambassador to Turkey.
Rear Admiral Bristol said he
was associated with Gen. Ineune
in Turkey from 1919 until 1927
and they became fast friends. He
added:
"A highly intelligent man.
Gen. Ineune is anything but a
deaf mute. However, he is some
what hard of hearing and when
speaking to him you must do so
in a rather high tone of voice
But this affliction, which struck
him when he was young man,
has certainly not affected his
speech in any way"

Outside Gangs
Change "Inside"

Maybe you think it funny that
two gees who had pulled so many
capers together outside should be
at each others threats inside.
Well, it never fails. Two partners
can be the best of friends outside,
but after a couple of weeks in the
same stir they're ready to pull
each other apart-especially if one
got more time than the other.
1t seems to work out this way:
right after they're pinched, the
bulls begin ribbing them, telling
one guy that his partner has
talked, and then telling the other
one the same thing. OF course the
partners know it's a rib, but after
they're tried and convicted, a lit

notice, also, reports that
Creepy had his face lifted while
he was on the lam. Don't believe
it; you couldn't lift that face with
club It's a face that always
has a sneer on it. The sneer and
the creepy walk, l think, were put
on by Karpis when he was punk
kid, just breaking into the racket;
he thought they were tough, then,
and has never shaken them.
Well, maybe he thought he
looked tough, but nobody on the
Rock was fooled. The cons lis
tened to him run his 10-cent jaw,
and then called his bluff.
The first one to give him a
working over was Allie T. Ander-
son, a farmer boy who got mixed
up with the Mann act, and who
wasn't a bid scared by Karpis'
reputation. Creepy figured he
would be and that's why he
popped off about the big Hoosier.
Both of them were working in
the laundry-Creepy upstairs and
Anderson downstairs. 1t was
about the time the 1887 strike
was being organized, and Ander-
son, who had the name of Walter
Winchell hung on him for good
reasons, was going around spread
ing the dirt that he said he had
heard about the strike. And while
spilling it. he was telling every
body that Allie T. Anderson was
never going to get mixed up in
any sucker play like that strike.
KarpiS, who wanted the reputa-
tion of being an organizer of the
strike, began working his Sneer
about Anderson. calling him a
fink and a cat. Anderson heard
about it and didn't lose any time
in showing just how tough he
thought Karpis was. He galloped
upstairs, and hauled off and be,
gan trying to pound that sneer
clear off Creepys puSS.
Karpis didn't land a blow. He
didn't even try to. He took a
pretty beating from the farmer
boy, and the word got around
awful fast that Creepy would pro
tect himself but wouldn't fight
The next con to prove it was
one of Creepy's own partners
Volney "Blondy" Davis, who had
/ .Dx-UnrUSrNGrNr
The Washington times., 1938-11-12

been in with Karpis on some OF
his toughest capers.
Davis, who welghe about 130
and stands about S foot 7, waded
into that six-footer just as if he
hadn't ever heard that Karpis
used to be Public Enemy No. l.
Davis punched Creepy all around
the yard and kicked him when he
bounced.
Blondy picked a nice spot for
it, too, one where he could keep
on pounding without having a
couple of screws pull him off the
guy he used to work for. 1t was
like this.
KarpiS had been held in his cell
that afternoon, when the rest OF
us went to work, and the grape.
vine carried the word that a couple
of G-Men were on the Rock and
that Creepy was singing for them
That word reached Blondy, work
ing in the kitchen, and Blondy
was waiting when Creepy came
out of the dollhouse door, a
couple of hours later, and started
walking across the empty yard to
the laundry.
Davis walked right up to him
and asked him what he had been

tie doubt pops up.
Once in stir, with little else to
think about, the partners begin
nursing this doubt; and the other
cons help it along usually by pick
ing up the ribbing where the cops
outside had left off; and the first
thing you know the partnership
blows up in a big squabble.
For example, take a look at
Creepy KarpiS and his gang.
There were nine of them, alto
gether, who made the Rock. One
of them was whose first
name 1 can't remember - who
didn't last very long. He thought
everybody was down on him, and
he used to sit in his cell and cry
I mean actually turn on the
tears-so they had to lead him
away to Springfield.
The other seven are still there,
getting along with each other
like strange bulldogs. Karpis, as
I've said, has already b e e n
punched around by Davis, and he
doesn't get along with Harry
Campbell, who was with him
when he shot his way through
bunch of Omen in Atlantic
City.
Shuttle up any two of the other
five-Doc Barker, Harry Sawyer,
Fred Hunter, Charley Fitzgerald
and Donald-and you're likely to
have a fight on your hands.
AS far as that goes, just shuttle
up Barker and you'll have a fight.
He's been in more trouble than
any con on the Rock, unless it's

UN.SO Americas defenseS
against attack from beyond the
seas were bolstered today by per-
fection of two new, deadly
weapons designed to combat air
raiders and tanks.
The new weapons, which fire
small high explosive, armor-pierc
ing shells with machine gun rapid
ity, were hailed today by Army
ordnance experts as providing
''highly effective defensive means
against the two most efficient Of
fensiVe armaments developed
since the World Wharf.-The air
plane and the tank.
The anti-aircraft weapon is a
machine gun which fires 81
millimeter high explosive shells
that burst on contact even with
the light fabric covering Of a

explode in the air at any given
altitude.
The Washington times., 1938-11-12

If you don't believe me, look at
Alvin KarpiS - Creepy KarpiS,
who led a gang that was supposed
to number 35 at one time. who
was the head of a mob that had
the reputation of being one of
the worst that ever terrified the
Middle West, W h Snatched
Hamm and Bremen for 300 G'S,
and was supposed to have been in
on killing sheriff, and who
heisted IA or Is banks, and made
four or five mail touches, and
who is supposed to have warned
the G-men to lay off him or he'd
bump them off in punches.
You'd never recognize that gee
in the Creepy Karpis who goes
sliding around the Rock as if
afraid that somebody was going
to yell boo at him. The guys SO
yellow you can see through him,
and has taken at least two beat
ingS from cons who had to stand
on tiptoe to hang one on his
chin.
He never did walk; he always
navigated by sliding along, with
his shoulders hunched, just like
an alley cat sneaking up on a bird.
That's where he got the name of
Creepy But on the Rock. mis-
creep is made worse by the fact
that's he always looking behind
him, and screWing his head
around on his long, skinny neck.
I notice that the Omen, who
took him without firing a shot,
used a word to describe him; be-
sides calling him yellow, and a
rat, they said he was "abject." "
It's a good word; that's exactly
what Creepy Karpis, once Public
Enemy No. l, has been ever since
he made the Rock.
