Austin, Tex. (UP)--Frank Hamer, former Texas Ranger captain, terror of Southwest outlaws, is busy these days with plans for Q national de- fense unit of picked men to serve on call wherever and whenever needed.
 Capt. Hamer's most famous feat was the successful trailing of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. He was in retirement from the Rangers after S6 years service when he took up the hunt for the South. vests No. badman of the time and his red-haired girl who smok- cd big cigars.
 It was the girls fondnesS for a particular brand of cigarets rather than cigars that proved a factor In Hamer's trailing the pair from Texas through Missouri and Okla homa into Louisiana.
 Hamer entered the search at re- quest of Texas prison authorities and Texas highway patrol officers after Barrow had been named as outside plotter of & prison escape In which four desperadoes got O. way. n
 A few weeks later, on April l, 1884, two highway patrolmen saw

SPEED REDUCTION
 PAYS DIVIDENDS
Patriotic Duty Becomes Safety Measure Declares
 Commissioner Mccarthy

Urging compliance with the na. tional governments request to mos torists to conserve gasoline sup- plies through reduced speed of mos tor vehicle operation, Commission CT of Motor Vehicles John T. Me- Carthy emphasized that in the per- forrnaace of this patriotic duty oth- or worth while dividends are real- ized.
 General compliance by the great army of motorists with Washing tons appeal for lower motor vehi- ole speeds would mean not only conservation of gasoline reserves" stated the commissioner today, "but 1t would also result in an imme- diate and marked reduction In traf- fic accident severity as well as In accident incidence.
 Tt likewise would result In re. duced conflicts of motor vehicle op- orators with the police, particular ly in, connection with Connecticut motorists moving through other states where low speed rates are more urgently insisted upon than in Connecticut. For example, con- sider the Massachusetts law that requires . speed of 20 miles an hour when passing through an in- tersection. Non-observance of this regulation results in many Con- necticut motorists being warned or actually arrested in Massachusetts right along.
 Therefore, when Connecticut mo- toristS, as Q patriotic duty operate their motor vehicle 50 aS to con- serve gasoline they are also pro- noting street and highway safety for themselves and all others on the road, reducing the cost of vehi- cle operation and minimizing the probability of conflict with the DO. lice. Summing 1t all up seems as though reducing the speed of our motor vehicles these days Is well justified in returns from the sev. eral angles noted"

JEWISH APATHY
 PROVES COSTLY
Dr.. Blumenfeld in Address Here Points Out Error
 Made in Germany

Denounclng schlsmatic tendencies in the ranks of Jewry, pr. Kurt BluKnenfeld, former president of the German Zionist group, and present managing director of the Palestine Foundation, last night be- rated those who established arti- ficial segregationS, at . meeting of the Waterbury Zionist district in the Hebrew Institute.
 Declaring that assumptions of superiority by German Jews over Russian. and Russian over Polish, and even in one instance the in- habitants of one German town over aother but 20 miles away, were all too prevalent, Dr. Blumerfeld re- minded that, to the German Ma tional Socialists, such niceties ot distinction had made little differ ence.
 Urging Q migration of Jews in Palestine, the noted Zionist admit ted the danger of a Nazi invasion of the Near East, but declared that in spite of this peril, salvation for Jewry lay in the colonization of the Holy Land
 Analyxing the causes of the pres ent Jewish plight In Europe, Dr Blumenfeld charged influential Jews with apathy in regard to the cir. cumstances of less-iavored co.re. ligionists. Had wealthy and pow. erful Jews in Germany and Austria made an effort to stem the tide oi National Socialism, rather thar succumb to . species of mental in ertla. q great deal might have beer done, he indicated.
 Dr. Blumenfeld was born in East Prussia, the son of e judge H. took courses in law and history al the universities of Koenigsberg Friherg and Berlin. He joined the Zionist movement in 1904, and ir 1913 became editor of Die Welt, cen- tral world Zionist organ, and the Juedesche Rundschau. Between 1888 and 1886 he was president ir exile of the German Zionist or. gaIAization.

What Ever Happened To
 Frank Hamer?

a parked automobile on side road near Grapevine, Tex. When they stopped to investigate and otter aid if needed, they were shot to death by Q dark -haired man and red- haired woman.
 officers reached the conclusion that Barrow and his companion were the slayers of the patrolmen, and Hamer was put in their trail. He followed 1t 102 days until they pulled up, as he expected, at Q forest "poStofface" where Hamer had learned Barrow communicated with his friends. The "postoffice" was 6 broad In pine forest Q short distance from where 0 road ran over knoll There Bonnie could watch for any one approaching while Clyde got the mall"
 Hamer never would reveal how he learned of this spot. He said he had traced Clyde and Bonnie to Louisiana by close study of their habits-the kind of whisky Barrow drank, her brand Of cigaretS the particular tobacco Barrow used to roll cigarets, and purchases of let tuce to feed a white rabbit that was Bonnie's pet.
 Tyamer's lunches proved correct for when Clyde and Bonnie drove up the road eight miles from plair Dealing, La, and stopped on May 23, 1884, HaEner and nine cotnpan' ions were spaced 10 feet apart be. hind brush piled up on the side oi the road opposite the 'postoffice.'
 As the car stopped Hamer called on the pair to surrender. Instead accounts of the affair say, they reached for weapons. The car was riddled with bullets. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were killed in- side 1t. In the automobile, officers reported finding three automatic ri- fies, two sawed-off shot guns, and 10 automatic pistols. There were 100 machine gun clips and 5000 rounds of ammunition.
 Long border service and cattle range duties had made Hamer fa- nous in Texas before his feats of law enforcement in the early days of Texas oil towns brought him na- tional attention. Then he startled the country with c one.man war against rewards offered by Texas bankers for dead bank robbers-S6,- 900, mot one cent for Q live one." Namer wasn't fond of bank rob- bers but he charged that irrespon. sible persons were being led to par ticipate In bank robbeTies SO conn panions might shoot them down and claim rewards. Eventually the re- wards were withdrawn.
 A dead -shot with pistol or rifle Hamer is also an expert knife- thrower. But frequently he used an unexpected weapon. Once he stop- ped Q surprised attacker by coolly splitting in his face.
