Fry, excise director. Fry attributed the large collection to better conditions in the business and increased efficiency of the enforcement division. The excise director pointed out that the enforcement division was

f credited in June. 1935, and during the first month of operation ex- ■ else tax coll* tions increased ap(iroximajely $100,0<»o. Since then i there has been a steady increase, j Fry said FRANCE SEEKS (NUKI. > r'HOM F*.** l *, °NB> world war debts to the United . States on a revised basis. Banis for discussion of a possible revision of the French debt, it was said, was a total of 12,000.000.000 francs ($560,000,000) divided into 20 annual payments of I 600.000.0tt0 francs ($28,000,000) as j against the annual payments of $90,000,000 under the old agreement. Such an agreement would be a consequence of the American-French-British monetary agreement which accompanied the devaluation of the French currency recently. It would be an agreement, significantly. among the three great world democracies and there Is no suggestion that Italy should join. But French hope was high today that if the debt agreement proved workable it would coincide with other political and economic agreements destined to consolidate peace anti restore world commerce—economic disarmament by which it might be possible to reduce tariffs and lower trade barriers generally. —.

SERIES OF STORIES (CONTI N PAGE ON several days biter Lima, 0., police found information on John Dilling er, u paroled Indiana convict, which indicated he waa Involved J in the desperate break. Sheriff Jess L. Sarber was shot down Oct. 12, 1933 when six of the escaped prisoners from the state prison freed Dillinger from his Lima cell. That consolidated the Dillinger gang. A wave of bank robberies swept . the state. Police arsenals were raided by the daring desperadoes. I An inadequate state police force battled a gang almost as well equipped as itself. Political repercussions that followed brought the dismissals of H. D. Claudy, assistant warden, and Albert Evans, second assistant warden, holdovers from the Republican administration at the prison. A report of the prison board of trustees gave Warden Louis Kunkel, u McNutt appointee, a clean slate. latter, Capt. E. L. Arment of the state prison guards, and Capt. Fred Littlejohn of the night guards were fired. Captured at Tucson, Ariz.. Dillinger was returned to the Lake county jail at Crown Point. The state enforcement agencies were electrified March 3. 1934, when a flash catne that Dillinger had escaped by a "wooden gun" ruse. State and local officials clashed over alleged laxness of Sheriff Lillian Holley and members of heY staff in guarding the desperado. Ed Barce, deputy attorney general, conducted a sensational investigation of the break but the state finally dropped the case after declaring it had turned over to federal officials information that sl.80U was paid for the deliverance of Dillinger. Until Dillinger was slain July 22, 1934 in front of a Chicago theater, the state administration was under almost constant political pressure from opposition party leaders, who charged wholesale changes made by the Democrats weakened penal institution administration and that the state police forPe was loaded with political appointees. Other penal institution scandals broke during the four years. Five prisoners escaped in a break from the state prison iate in 1934 and Warden Kunkel released two Republican guards. Charges of cruelty to state farm prisoners brought a change in administration, Ralph Howard replacing Clifford Craig as superintendent. A report byWayne Coy. then secretary to Me- 1 Nutt in charge of penal affairs, revealed “tea time” romances and daily gambling by state prison inmates. The McNutt administration drew criticism from some sources for use of troops in labor disturbances. A section of Vigo county was under martial law when McNutt entered office as result of a proclamation made by Gov. Harry G. Leslie after a disturbance at the Dixie Bee mine near Pimento. McNutt issued his first call for troops on Oct. 9, 1933 after declaring martial law in Sullivan county ■ which was wracked by labor disturbances at the Starburn mine. On July 22. 1935 a general strike paralyzed Terre Haute and McNutt ordered troops into the area and i proclaimed martial law. A strike at the M. Fine and Sons Manufacturing Company caused troops to be sent to Floyd and Clark counties, which were placed under martial law early this year. The American Federation of Labor on Oct. 14. 1935 adopted a resolution offered by the Vigo county unit censuring the governor “for his un-American and unconstitutional usurpation of power in declaring martial law which, in effect, has put the national guards in a position of strike-breaking agencies.” The governor precluded a possible scandal Jan. 17, 1935 when he i ordered changes in the state purchasing department and demanded restitution in "cases where it appeared the state had been overI charged." Clearing officials of any dishonesty, McNutt said an investigtaion first conducted by an Indinapolis newspaper and later by the governors agent, revealed that loose methods and pressure by department heads caused improper function of the purchasing department. It also was pointed out no set of specifications were available for contracting agencies or purchasing agents.
