McCollum faces a 1-5 year term in the Indiana state prison for his recent escape from the state penal farm at Putnamville. McCollum is a firm believer in the adage, “travel broadens," according to Sheriff Dallas Brown and Deputy Leo Gillig. to whom McCollum related his adventures while at large. Not playing the expected “hunted fugitive,” but joy-riding through Oklahoma and Texas on freight I

llll— —————————— t trains and “passengers" was the; way McCollum spent his daysi while penal farm and county auth-1 orities searched for him. “No thumbing on the highways for me." McCollum asserted in expressing his disdain for the high-; l way hitch hikers. “I travel in style. There are ways," he stated as he ; told his story. No "riding the . rods" for McCollum, who had been at the game of “hide-and-seek with the railroad "dicks" for years, according to his own story. His place is on the tender of the engine, near its hot steaming boilers to take away the chill of the wind whipping around the cars. A train wreck was one of the feature events of his trip as a fugitive. McCollum stated, and offered his lacerated nose and face as evidence of an Oklahoma crash. McCollum, familiar through his years experience, first a “rod-rid- ( er.” then in more comfortable j spots, knows the language and signs of the railroad. He can tell by the waving of a brakeman, when a train is ready to pull out. Hopping onto the tender, free from the eyes of the engineer, McCollum is willing to pay for the ride on discovery by firing. Slipping from under the eyes of a watchful penal farm guard. Me-1 Collum grabbed a “local” to Indianapolis from Putnamville. then ' a freighter to Richmond, a pass-: enger engine to Decatur after his escape. Later he went to Texas 'and Oklahoma, but a desire to re-1 visit here (for the third time since j his escape, he said) proved his' downfall. Now local authorities: await word from penal farm officials to take him to Michigan City to start serving a l-to-5 year sentence from escape. His home in Geneva. McCollum has twice been | sentenced from city court here on , a charge of larceny. o St, Joe Basketball Team Is Honored Members of the St. Joe eighth grade basketball team, city grade . champions and runnersup in the Fort Wayne CYO deanery torney. were feted this afternoon at the De- j catur Catholic high school.

AUSTRIAN NAZIS I: STAGING RIOTS Panic Spreads Among Vienna Jews After Many Riots Vienna, Feb 21 -P» nlc spread among Vienna Jews t()day | as Nazis and antl-Nazls clashed in front of the university. Numerous wealthy Jews made arrangements to leave the country, seeking temporary refuge. Some Jewish real estate owners began hastily trying to sell properties. Nations of the Danubian basin alternated between hope and fear as to their own position under ■ Europe's diplomatic new deal. The first real clash here between Nazis and non Nazis was of potenI tially serious character. At first there were minor fights. Police sought to disperse the rioters. Then outsiders joined Nazi students and girl students joined with hoys. Shouting as they went Into the university, they took possession and began shouting: “Judah, jump the twig! — Go j hang yourselves “When Jewish blood drips from 1 our knives everything will go well!" Police were hard pressed. They ! contented themselves, for a time, with keeping traffic moving and separating such clashing groups as i they could reach. Police finally brought the stuI dents demonstration under control and dispersed the rioters. The I students planned to hold another , demonstration tomorrow Nazis had it their way at first. But the opposition gathered Members of the Roman Catholic strength as rioting developed, youth organization began a large scale distribution of hand bills praising Chancellor Kurt Schuhchnigg. Socialist and communist youths began gathering to join in counter-action against the Nazis The "Austrian Youth,” a suborganization of the governmental fatherland front, began its proNazi orientation with an issue of pamphlets emphasizing Nazi-like nationalism, and failing to mention ‘ Christianism or Catholicism which had been mentioned unfailingly theretofore in all declarations. These portentous developments occurred as the Nazi youths shouted inside the university. Then the Nazis, after a staff conference, decided to leave. They trooped from the building and started a march toward the inner city, with police ' trying to disperse them and pre- : vent a growing threat to order. o DICTATORSHIP 1 CONTINUKp FJXOM t*AOB ONE* I ers. | 9.
