WIRT SAYS HE WAS MI ZZLED’ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) he added. When Dr. Wirt hurled his charges that the "brain trust'' was plott-' Ini’, a revolution to overthrow American liberties the American Le•gion rallied to his support. In his speech today he named ,Speaker of the House Henry T. i Rainey as having made "socialistic . I utterances.’’ He ulso mimed former Senator! Smith W Brookhart, now special 1 jadviser to the AAA, in the same j category. The Central organ, publication of tlie communist party-, quoted . Brookhart us saying that the Soviet system of agriculture was the beat ' in the world and that Russian pens'ants were "better off than at least j 14.im0.tioo people in this country.’’ | ■ Dr. Wirt told the legionnaires. “Mr. Brookhart advocated a bill , iin congress that would fix farm | produce prices and start a collec-. tivization movement here similar to 'that in soviet Russia. "He was asked whether such ill system could be brought into this I 'country without a revolution and J tanswered, 'My bill is the revolu-1 tion; a couple of bills like It and j ithere would be no more Wall] 'street’.’’ Turning to Speaker Rainey, the : educator told of a conversation he! had with Gen. William T. Wester velt of Chicago. "Gen. Westervelt told nte that Speaker Rainey told him last fall that after congress adjourned in 1934 within a few months the gov ernment would take over the operation of certain industries,” he , said. Dr. Wirt declared that he understood Rose Schneiderman was in the Virgin Islands at present "in ' the interest of a socialistic expert-1 ment of the brain trust.” The short, stocky educator whose I "platoon system" for schools has been widely adopted, quoted at ' length from the writings of Secre-1 tary of Agriculture Wallace and i Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell. o —— POLICE SQUAD IS DISARMED BY GANGSTERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) into the station driveway with siren still sounding. Hamilton | dodged back into the front seat i of his automobile and picked up a machine gun. Nieman dropped the gasoline hose and ducked into the station where he threw himself on the floor. Wayland descended from the i police automobile and was closely , followed by Policemen Gus Nonce and Joseph Hagmeister. As the policemen approached the band-, its’ automobile. Hamilton thrust , the machine gun at them. Hamilton was cursing and the i other gangsters moved forward to ' surround the policemen. Nelson . carried a machine gun and the: other two had pistols. Suddenly Wayland reached for j his pistol. Hamilton, who was within four feet of him. but whose , gun was not pointed at the police-1 man. lunged and swung the gun. j The weapon struck Wayland on 1 the side of the head and he fell. I The gangsters then disarmed i all of the policemen and started . a procession down the road, with ‘ two of the police walking with I their hands in the air. After sev-1 eral hundred feet the police were forced to walk into a field and were warned to keep walking. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home

Robles is a native of Sonora, a 'member of a family belonging to the old Spanish grandees. Despite activity of the federal agents and the truce called bylocal police, many officials were convinced June was dead. Among these was Gov. B. B Moeur who came here to extend his sympathies to the girl’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Fernando Robles. Moeur, a physician, believed she had been abducted by a demented man. The family was prepared to | meet any demand in exchange for I June’s release. The elder Robles has withdrawn $15,000 front the hank With the exception of last night, he had followed out the ransom note instructions to drive j each night after 9 p m. along a designated highway until he saw a white string stretched across

the road. But on each drive, he found no such string and returned home, more despirited than ever. A separate all-night vigil was maintained in the office of Carlos ' I Robles, uncle of the missing girl. l and assistant county attorney of.' Pima county. With him were; two dpeartment of justice agents but the telephone call they awaited failed to come. Mexican government officials cooperated with U. S. department' of justice agents in the case. Hours after Robles and his companions left Nogales a Mexican government automobile carrying! two Mexican officials and two armed members of the U. S. b<>~-' der patrol followed them. They were said to be under instructions I to watch movements of the 73yearold retired cattle baron.

r A Bible and a Newspaper In Every Home —said Benjamin Franklin, whose death on April 17, 1790, we remember this week. IF YOU asked the founder of a great library system what reading matter you should place in your home, you might expect him to hand you a sizable list of books. But old Ben Franklin, father of the free library system of our country, being a man to put first things first, might have looked over the top of his glasses at you, and repeated “a Bible and a newspaper in every home.” Franklin himself was Printer and Publisher ... and an advertising writer. He recognized, as you do, that good advertising is NEWS. Back in 1780, when a ship came to port with a consignment of India shawls and some merchant announced this in the newspaper, you may imagine that that item meant more to the ladies of the day than the usual chronicle of somebody’s cow’ “lost, strayed or stolen.” An editor gathers up the news from all corners of the globe, just as a merchant gathers up his stock of goods. Then the story of both is carried in the newspaper. Both mean a great deal to every reader. _ ’ • I -
