J. and 774 A. N. State police later identified the ] 1 car as one stolen from a motorist ’ who was held up by three men near Bellfontaine, Ohio, May 16. J The Brady gang, charged with numerous bank and jewelry store > holdups in Ohio and Indiana and the shooting of an Indianapolis - policeman, is comprised principal- - ly of Alfred Brady. James Dalhover and Clarence Schaffer, who escaped from the Hancock county jail at Greenfield last fall while 3 awaiting trial on a murder charge. ! Charles Geisking, fourth mem- . i ber of the gang, is held at Indian- . apolis for the same murder —the shooting of Policeman Harry Riv- , ers- when the gang was as it called at the home of an In- , dianapolis doctor to demand treatI ment for a bullet wound suffered , by Geisking in a Lima, Ohio, jew- _ I elry store holdup. When captured in Chicago after ’ the Rivers shooting, Brady was quoted by police officers as openly admitting participation in the slaying and boasting: f “We are going to make the John Dillinger gang look like a bunch of : pikers.” I * Returned to Indianapolis, the ’ bandits won a change of venue to Hancock county for theit - murder 1 trial and escaped from jail there ‘ by beating Sheriff Clarence Wat- [ son over the head with a steel bar torn from one of their cells. For several months after the escape they were unreported. Then, on April 27, three men robb- . ed the Farmland State Bank in Randolph county, at the eastern , edge of the state. Bank employes identified two of them as Brady and Halhover. They escaped in an automobile bearing license I plates 340-756. , The Goodland bank robbed today is in Newton county, at the western edge of the state. o LABOR LEADERS crnNTTNTFn FROM ”*GF ONE) the money pending convention , June 1, and voluntarily advance ratification. Leaders said the assessment would enable the federation to maintain a “war chest” of approximately $35,000 a month. That the conference recommend to the executive council that all I local unions chartered by the national and international unions holding membership in the C. 1.0. be "dissociated” from membership in state federations and city central bodies. I That all chartered A. F. of L. local unions be "required” to affiliate with state federations and

city central bodies. That national and international unions start an aggressive organization drive under A. F. of L. leadership. Chief opposition to the program came from Charles P. Howard, president of the International Typographical Union and secretary of C. I. O. Howard, who is a member of the C. I. O. in his individual capacity which keeps his union in the A. F. of L. though 10 C. I. O. unions have been suspended by the federation, said he would attempt to prevent his union from contributing to a fund "for an attack on the organization efforts of any group.” Howard said that the "state of war” now existing between the federation and the C. I. O. was

. caused by the executive council’s t “usurpation” of powers never I delegated to it by the federation’s ■ constitution. He said the C. I. O. t had been formed as “an educai tional committee" and would have remained so, had not the execui tive council suspended its unions. - The suspensions caused a declaraII tion of “war,” he said, and “in war > j anything can happen." i > o DROP PLANS TO r (CONTINUED FKOM PAGB pTne) 1 polar aerial expedition has estabi lished its base 560 miles from the North Pole, that three supply planes were prepared to make a s I desperate dash across the treacher- ., ous ice with food and other sup- [ plies tor the 13 men now near the ipple. j.

ROYAL GUESTS SHUN WEDDING King George VI Informs Windsor No Royalty Will Attend Monts, France, May 25 —(UP) — King George VI telephoned his elder brother, the Duke of Windsor, today and informed him regretfully that he is compelled to ban the attendance of British official guests at the wedding of the Duke to Mrs. Wa’lis Warfield.

The day toward which the exking has looked forward to with so much happiness will be marred by the absence of some of the closest friends of his youth and manhood. The music room where the ceremony will be performed, regarded , hihterto as too small to accommoI date the guests, will now be easily large enough for the 10 or 12 who will show uip. The Duke has received calls from ' various persons originally invited ' to the wedding on June 3, explaining why they cannot come. He was 1 disheatened but distracted his mind ' by .playing tennis and badminton. o ARRIVALS | Word was received here today of the birth of a daughter Sunday, May 23, to Mr. and Mrs. W.
