For Dixie Davis 10
Fade Into Anonymity
Racket Informer
70 Be Guarded on
Release Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Shielded
by four detectives, j. Richard
(Dixie) Davis, "a, former kid
mouthpiece" of the $4,000, ,000-a-
year Dutch Schultz policy racket,
will be freed from the Bronx Jail
shortly after midnight tonight
quits at last in his long conflict with
the law.
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey ordered elaborate precautions
to safeguard Davis from possible
gargland vengeance as he steps into
new life of -shadowed freedom.
Prison officials said he would be
taken to secret destination, swift
ly departing the Manhattan back
drop where his career ran the gamut
from struggling young law clerk to
f1ashy heir-apparent of one of the
Nations biggest crime syndicates.
Up to Davis Himself.
Were not exactly worried about
any gang bullets, but we are taking
no chances" an official said. "Un-
less he himself reveals it or he is
discovered by chance, nobody will
ever know where Dixie Davis has
gone"

Barred From Gangland.
For one thing, once a man turns
lnformer, he can never belong to the
underworld again." said Deputy
Commissioner of Correction Davis
Marcus.
For another, Davis really wants to
get out. Even in his palmiest days
IN the racket he was scared to death
he would get what Dutch Schultz got
and what most of them eventually
get-bullets, sudden and final"
In compensation for the shadow

life ahead Prison officials said he
would probably be married soon to

May Hide in Small Town.
One official indicated they might
seek seclusion in Hope Dare's native
New Mexico "in a little town where
the name of Dixie Davis would never
be heard again."

Docks with 48-foot Cruis. CT PIanked with Alas
 ka Yellow Cedar

Dr. J. B. Umpleby, retired, for mer Assistant Chief of the Metal ,urgical Division of the U. s. Geo. logical Survey, arrived in Juneau with his wife and four friends this morning aboard his 48-foot cruiser Wahoma, of the Seattle Yacht Club.
 Dr. Umpleby said the trip is the Wahoma's maiden voyage. It has 3 beam of 12 feet six inches and is powered with twin 20 horsepower Chyslers, giving it "an easy cruis- ing speed of nine knots" Both en- zines are of the V-drive type with .wo to one reduction gears.
 The craft was designed by Monk and built by the Lakewood Beat Company. It is well appointed and sleeps from six to nine persons.
 Planking is of Alaska yellow ce- dar. An unusual bit of construc- ton is a wing deck hanging on three bronze brackets on the stern transom.
 Dr. Umpleby says such tran som is a wonderful thing" for helping women in and out of ;kiffs" and landing fish"
 With the Umplebys are MT. and Mrs. H. G. Snyder of Dallas, Texas and MT. and Mrs. E. G. Wells, of Oklahoma. Wells is an attorney from Oklahoma City.
 Snyder is former Vice President of Standard Oil of Indiana, and is now an independent oil operator in Texas. While in Ketchikan nooring the Wahoma, Snyder fell and broke bone in his left ankle for which he will receive treatment here and determine whether or not it is rebreak of an old fracture suffered while he was captain oi
