DISCUSS NEW AID PROGRAM Roosevelt Discusses Proposed Aircraft Expansion Washington, Jan. 12 — (U.R) — President Roosevelt said today that the administration's proposed alrcafl expansion program—which may give the nation a maximum of nearly 13,000 lighting planes—cau be carried forward almost entirely with present facilities of piivate Industry, Mr. Roosevelt did not estimate, In a press conference discussion of hl c . new defense program, the exact number of planes which will be built in the new program In his message to congress he specified a minimum of 3,000 but declared “It is hoped that orders ' placed on such a large scale will materially reduce the unit cost 1 and actually provide many more planes.” Aircraft experts suggested that mass production under the new , program might give the army as many as 6,700 new planes. With other expansion programs already i under way, that could mean a < total army and navy plant force < of nearly 13,000 planes. It was ' emphasized, however, that It i could not be determined at this time the exact number of planes 1 which will be built. < Mr. Roosevelt said today he i believed the program could be ac- i commodated in existing private j plants with the use of two and Ihree shifts of workers. 1 He said the possibilities of a "bottle neck” in construction ‘

existed due to the fact the program would require 15 to 20 per cent more skilled aircraft builders. However, he believed workI ers might be obtained from other j Industries, such as automobile plants. He satd the question of training mechanics for the arms expans'on drive had not been completely studied. Mr. Roosevelt said that all the new planes would be constructed in private plants except a few ships of an experimental type that might be turned out In the naval airplane factory at Philadelphia.

"The i guarda found them somewhat scattered out and crawling down I to the beach ovei the rocks on the west end of the island. "Tho fugitives were crawling and running toward the water. They evidently were planning to swim for it. "The guards opened fire after first warning the men to stop. “They didn't stop until Barker and Stamphill were shot. Then they surrendered.” "That was a tough way to start out Friday the 13th,” Inspector George Ingels of the San Francisco police department, one of those who directed the search from the shore, said. Barger, known in the underworld as “Doc" Barker, was a companion in crime of Alvin (Old Creepy) Karpis. kidnaper, bank robber and murderer—at one time America’s public enemy No. 1. He is a member of the notorious Barker family of Oklahoma. Members of the family included "Ma” Kate Barker, Freddie Bar-

- ker and Arthur. r “Ma” Barker and Freddie were ■ slain in Florida, after a six hour • gun fight with federal agents, r Arthur was sent to Alcatraz for s life for the Bremer abduction. f In 1983 the Karpis-Barker gang l became the nation’s worst crimini al outfit, made nearly $5,000,000. by bombing banks, kidnaping such ■ victims as St. Paul's brewer Wil-1 I Ham Hamm and Banker Edward 1 ' George Bremer. Then police and I G-men began weeding out the I gang. "Ma" and Fred Barker and another mobster were killed. Six other of the hoodlums were put behind bars and seven more were indicted in St. Paul for the Hamm snatculng. The gang was broken with the captuie of Arthur Barker, Harry Campbell. Volney Davis and Karpis. All are serving life in Al- , catraz. The attempted break was made a week after Al Capone, Alcatraz' most notorious prisoner, was transferred to Terminal Island in Los Angeles.

There were 438 straight plows. 351 graders and 87 heavy duty plows working to clear the main high- i ways. Cinders, sand and gravel were be-1 Ing spread on all hills and curves. The highway department said that the Crawfordsville crash was the only major accident reported i in the state despite the dangerous condition of the highways. o GREAT BRITAIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) does not mediate hostilities against France. Presumably that would mean direct negotiations with France on his Mediterranean demands, . since Chamberlain firmly refused to mediate. The French consider-I ed the refusal a diplomatic set- ; back for Mussolini. Chamberlain seemed unperturbed by the outcome of the Rome conversations. He was received in formal audience by the pope today and was understood to have told him that he was satisfied with . the results of his Rome visit. The pope, it was understood, encouraged Chamberlain to continue his peace efforts and complimented him on his efforts to solve the Jewish refugee problem and end the war in Spain. o ADAMS COUNTY I < JONTINUI2D FROM PAGE ONE) | — I the home and at 1:30 p. m at the Winchester U.

Since then, he said he has received word that much of the material is being puchased outside the state. He added that an investigation should be made to determine to what extent Indiana Citizens were being benefitted by the expenditures. Edward Stein, house Democratic floor leader, supported the resolution on behalf of his party. “There seems to be a veiled assumption,” he said, “That something is wrong (regarding the building program). If you want to spend the taxpayers’ money on these investigations we will go along with you. “We may have some crooks in Indiana — if we have, we want to know about it.
