Most Wanted
Criminal Listed
By r. B. |.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. (INS)
The FIJI today placed Arrogant,
Jail breaking Gerhard Arthur Puff
on it's roster of "ten most wanted
federal fugitives and warned that
he is a desperate who will shoot
to kill of threatened with capture,
The 37-year-old Puff joins his
partner in crime, George Arthur
Heroux, in the "most wanted
category. Heroux was put on the
list last December Is.
The FBI says the two have been
identified as the Hunting cap
bandits" who on November %,
1851, staged a dargin daylight
holdup Of the Johnson County Ma
tional Bank & Trust Co., at Prairie
Village, Kan, and escaped in a
stolen car with more than $4,000
in loot.
Both bcndits wore white me-
chanic- ype overalls with marrow
blue cuffs on the sleeves and light
colored hunting caps with up
turned earmuffs. A complaint
charging Puff and Heroux with
the robbery was filed at Topeka,
Kan, December 3.
Puff and Heroux, says the FBI,
became acquainted when they
were cellmates in the Milwaukee
county jail last summer, where
Puff was awaiting trial on a
charge Of armed robbery.
Heroux was release August %,
and on October II, an unknown
box office appeal this one should
draw twice as much money as any
fight of recent times. 1t should
draw three times as niue as the
Walcott- Charles encounter, which
is part of a series that already
has run far too long.

Thought For The Week

Inc real sources of joy in this
lie are not the results of easy
tasks but of hard ones"
Sir Wilfred Grenfel-
souther Regional Council
The Arkansas division of the
Southern regional council met in
our city a few days ago. The bust
ness session was held at 800 p. m.
at the YMCA, 9th and Broadway.
The second session was held in
the continental room at the Hotel
Marion. W. W. Wilke tthe Rever-
end president )presided over the
sessions, The highlight of the af-
ternoon session was the address
delivered by Harry Ashmore. ex-
ecutiye-editor, of the Arkansas
Gazett and member of the execu-
tive board of S. R. c. Mr..
Ashmore was introduced by J.
X CBob' Booker, Attorney at
law The speaker emphasized the
lact that the SRC was concerned
with mans inhumanity to man
and that the organization pro-
vided an opportunity to discuss
mutual problems, "All problems
in the South may be solved if we
just take time out for it and not
lose our tempers." Mr.. Ashmore
stated that there had been many
gains in the last twenty years:
liberal political moves on the part
OF the Democratic party; direct ac-
ton in the field of race relations;
the Negro has become the CEN
trail figure in politics in the South.
The speaker indicated that no
political candidate dared to make
race an issue in Arkansas, as
the Negro vote holds the balance
OF power. This fact alone has
tempered many situations and has
caused many changes in attitude.
Regarding the school situation
in the south. the editor, pointed
out that there had always been
very little money" for public ed
ueation and that the white
schools were far below par. II
was just natural that since the
legislators were white placed in
office by white voters that they
would give the major portion of
the funds to the white schools.
"A voting Negro public can and
will insist upon equal ALLEGATION
Of funds through the politicians
that they have supported Mr.
Ashmore emphasized the fact that
a heavy burden rests upon lead
ers not to exploit the new mass
of voters.
