League of Women Voters to divide - their bill into separate measures. • mbodying a particuLr point of ( their program in each.

OFFICERS SEEK THREE GIHfMEN Killprs Os Tho m a s E. Malov Are Sought By Police Officers Chicago, Feb. 5 —(U.R>- Police made po apparent progress today in a quest for gunmen who revived tlie butchery method of the old gang days to kill Thomas E. Maloy, wealthy labor leader, in the sight or many motorists before the world fair grounds. Principal difficulty of the investigators was that many people had reason to harbor grudges against tlie czar of motion picture operators and wish him out of their way. He was under indictment ,r >r tax . exasion and probably would hav-v been called upon in his defense to implicate several associates in off color financial dealings. States attorneys charged that the union business manager "sold out" on more than one occasion in disputes between hi® union and employes, to his personal financial gain. Police sought Edward I Red) Donovan, head of a truck drivers nnton. and Ralph O'Hara, organizer for Maloy's uuion. O'Hara once was Malov's closest friend but was reported lately to have disagreed with him. O'Hara said over the telephone that he “might surrender today. He denied he and his associate were unfriendly. Maloy was killed while driving from his south side home to his office with a friend. Dr. Emett Quinn, a dentist who also is a motion picture operator. The killers, apparently three of them, fired from a passing motion car through the windows of i Maloy's Packard sedan. I The union chief was killed almost instantly. Quinn, although j (wounded slightly, stopped the big i Icar as it careened across the drive.; o FAMOUS COUPLE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ■ | ———-—— | I babies behind in Callender.

DAVIS CUP PLANS ARE ALL WRONG, BIG BILL THINKS Tilden Favors Return To Drawing of Players I Philadelphia — (UP)—William 1 Tild-n. 2nd. the outstanding tennis 'star of all time, thinks the Divis .Cup zone system Is a tailure and 'advocate* return of tho draw sys- , l ’ m - .. i "Big Bill.” here for professional matches January 10 that I the zone system gives the United I States a walkaway in the American | zone. “Let us get back to the draw ! system which was in vogue before i zone play was ad. pted.” he said. I "Let the nations drawing each I other dei Ide where the tie i« to bo I played.” Nations Do Selecting For an example. Tilden said: "Stu posing the United States and France are drawn to meet in the first round. Having the representatives of those two nations select the place for the tie will prove advantageous to both concerned. P'.iyers of the United States have la runaway .« the zone system oper- . ates at present, according to Tilden. “It is known that Canada has ' been in favor of some time of going ' to Europe to complete, feeling it I would have a better chance of com- | ing through ng-inst nations of its I own strength.” Tilden said. “As is is now." Tilden continued. ' "Canada has little chance to go ahead, since the United States is I too formidable a rival.” Wants Foreign Players Tilden declared he favored Imving foreign players compete in the United States. “By all means invite the pick of the foreign netmen. It Is a sound way of stimulating a greater interI est in the sport. The more foreign I players there are in major events, the better the attraction will be,” he so idThe seven-time national champion, asserted he was "wholehearted in accord" with tho proposal that leading tennis professionals practice with Davis cup players. “Such practice would tend to de-velc.p-e steadiness for the amateurs" Tilden said. Tilden will compete in pro'in itches with Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena. Sal.. George Lott, Jr..
