I yesterday with all the law enforcei inent agencies of Marion county and assorted pieces of fire apparatus talcing pnrt. The bandit escaped after a run- . nitig gun battle on west side streets j with 15 police cruisers, two state j police cars, two carloads of slierid's deputies, several motorcycle police and fire equipment. He was believed to be the same gunman who held tip a Mickleyvllle theater Sunday. The elusive young man has been identified tentatively as Ernest Tait, former Indianapolis gunman who escaped from the state prison at Michigan City two years ago after being sentenced for the robbery of the Speedway State bank. Strewn along the path of the chase — which would have done credit to the old Mack Bennett movies and the Keystone cops — was a detective's car, riddled with bullets, another police car, wrecked when it crashed into a curb, an officer's motorcycle, and the bandits own car, which he hurtled into a telephone ixile and then burned It later developed that the bandit's car was really Police Lieut. . Dan Scanlon's auto which was ! stolen last Friday. It all started when police received a ''tip'' that the MickleyI vllle theater bandit had been seen , leaving a carnival on West Washington street. The description was broadcast and Patrolmen Emerson McNew and George Hughes "spotted" the car. They tried to force it to the curb but failed. The chase started. The policemen roared into high and took out after the bandit, but their part in the ''game" ended 1 when they smashed into a curb and broke a wheel. No one was injured. Motorcycle Patrolman Henry Long picked up the trail next. N. A. BIXLER OPTOMETRIST Eyes Examined ■ Glasses Fitted HOURS 8:30 to 11:30 12:30 to 5:00 Saturdays, 8:00 p. m. ' Telephone 135.

The party which began, with about 22 guests wound up with fewer than a dozen, on Walsh's estimate. Walsh insisted it merely was a nonpolitical get-together. Van Nuys was more explicit. ‘There will be about 20 here," he said, “and most of them will campaign for me in Indiana where j 1 am going to run for reelection as an independent.’’ Asked whether his Democratic colleagues would campaign for him as an independent against the party nominee, he replied: "They don't, care whether I’m a Democrat or not." inquiry among some of the pro pective guests discovered few will ing to commit themselves on the , Indiana campaign.

“with reverse english.” “Since the company has expressed such concern that their stooges report for work." Wilson said, “we may see that they stay there.” "We may do our dues collecting after working hours at the gates.” Asked if Martin approved such tactics, Wilson replied: "He didn't disapprove.” Meanwhile, strikes plagued employers at eight other Michigan industrial plants, including the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation at Detroit. Approximately 200 UAW members left the motor production line ■ at the Plymouth plant in protest i against treatment given a union steward. Herman Weckler, Chrysler cor- ■ poration vice president, said the I steppage was caused by a UAW I committeeman "who had been dis--1 ciplined for repeated insubordinaj (ion." Three of Bohn Aluminum company's eight plants in Detroit were closed when approximately 900 men walked out. Strikes also closed Michigan Steel Casting. Detroit Moulding, and Michigan Smelling companies. United Furniture Workers union members picketed the Saginaw j Furniture shop at Saginaw as it reopened after a two-weeks shutdown.
