One ! at ruck Dungan in the back of the head, another in the aide. Residents of homes nearby, on ' the! rporches or in their yards at the time, started to run toward the apot whore Dungan lay as the gunmen's automobile pulled away. The man with the rifle, apparently fearful they were attemptlng*to follow, menaced them with his gun. The crowd dropped back and the machine sped around a corner. Less than three minutes later a radio-equipped police car sped around the same corner, headed for the scene of the shooting. Dungan was semi-conscious in spite of his severe wounds. Police said he would uot identify his assailants. He died two hours after he had been shot. Lieut. Joseph Haksa, in charge lof the investigation, said Dungan had had frequent encounters with police and that his life had been threatened several times. "Dungan's slaying undoubtedly 1 was an attempt by his rivals to gain control of the union,” Haksa said. "They've been trying to get : him for five years.” For many years control of the union, the Brotherhood of Painters.

Aug. 20, 1934, machine gunners fired several volleys at Dungan as he was returning from the wake of Roy Thompson, another official of the union, who had been slain - three days earlier. Dungan escaped uninjured that time in a faster automobile and took refuge in a police station. Police blamed the attack on union strife. On Jan. 3. 1936. Mrs. Elsie Hennernan was killed by a shotgun blast while riding with her husband. George, secretary of the union and Dungans bodyguard, j Her slaying never has been solved.

Defeat for Barkley would have substantially damaged Mr. Roosevelts prestige and surely would have persuaded the Roosevelt high command against challenging any Democratic senator on the grounds that he had not given adequate support to White House policies.

INDIANA FARM PRICES HIGHER I Farm Prices Move Upward For Second Straight Month Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 9 (U.R) Indiana farm prices moved upward for the second consecutive month to reach an average of 103. ti on July 15, M. M. Justin, Purdue university agricultural statistician, announced today. The base average of 100 represents farm prices over the period from 1910 to 1914. With the exception of corn, all crop prices moved downward, while with a few exceptions livestock prices were somewhat higher than a month earlier, Justin said. The 103.6 index of Hoosier farm prices was 4.3 points higher than the month before. If was "a poor comparison to the 140 index that existed just a year ago which was the peak reached before farm prices began a long downward trend.” Justin reported that the Indiana purchasing power ot farm products at 84 was four points higher than on June 15. Ho said that most of the livestock feed ratios were much more favorable to the farmers than a year ago. “In the case of many of the commodities, the swings up or down during the past month were just normal or seasonal fluctuations.” he said.
