One Os Most-Wanted Criminals Captured Garland W. Daniels Is Nabbed Tuesday LOS ANGELES (INS) — One of the nation's most-wanted criminals sat in Los Angeles county jail today because he.failed to live up to his nickname of "Flash" won by his ability to make a fast getaway. : Agents of the federal bureau of investigation nabbed the 50-year-Old fugitive, Garland William Daniels, Tuesday as he tried to scramble over a beckyard wall to elude capture. Perhaps some of his speed was taken away by the longtime dope habit which had plagued the exconvict. The FBI said he was under the influence of narcotics when arrested. He had been living in Los Angeles with his wife and two children for about a month. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover attributed Daniels’ quick capture ■to numerous leads originating with the widespread publication of his picture last month. Hoover said Daniels was wanted for escape Nov. 4, 1551 from the U. S. public health service hospital in Lexington. Ky.. where he was confined as a narcotics addiet. He also was wanted in Chicago and Los Angeles on federal charges of interstate transportation of stolen property, including automobiles.

Contact your county extension office in Decatur.” CRAIG FRIENDS ’ (Continued from Page One) A “right to work” bill preventing the collection of union dues by employers and outlawing the colsed shop. Mandatory drunkometer tests for drinking motorists. Banning compulsory sterilization om the mentally unfit Inserting teeth into the fair employment prarices Act. Lenghthening the regular legislative session. One of the governor's legislative aides said: "I just don't understand the governor. He came out of the last session with flying colors, after being beaten badly in the 1953 session. I believe he should let well enough alone. It looks like the governor is just being stubborn. But it, would be a lot harder to keep the legislators in line for the governor at a special session than it was at the meeting that just closed." With the governor on vacation in Florida in Doxie Moore, his administrative assistant, who has been described as the "court jester” of his administration. A number of legislative leaders believe tfeat Moore may have had something to do with Craig’s decision to call a special session, but the lawmakers believe that when the governor returns they will be able to talk him out so the strange proposal. Another potent supporter of the governor, H. Dale Brown, of Indianapolis, 11th district GOP chairman, said: “I see nothing to be accomplished by a special session. On the other hand, I see much harm. The last legislature did a good job and gave the state some constructive 1 laws. All of them would be jeopardized by a special session. "Every good law passed could be repealed by the special session and undoubtedly an organized effort would be made to do so. merely to embarrass the governor.” A similar stand was taken by other administration chieftains, including representative John R. Feighner, of Marion, Republican floor leader in the house, and senators Milford E. Anness. of Liberey, and Samuel C. McQueen, of Brazil. Warren W. Martin Jr., of Clarksville, Democratic floor leader in the senate, said: "I didn’t think Craig was that crazy. If he wants a three-ring circus and a lot of fun, let him call a special session. We can’t afford what he’s already got, let alone any more.”

At the time the papers were released two weeks ago there were loud cries at home and abroad that the action would endanger'fthe western alliance and weaken allied faith in the United States. Specifically the fear was that release of the Yalta papers might cause the French senate to defeat the Paris accords to rearm half a million West Germans for the Western European defense system. None of the gloomy forecasts have materialized. Officials who believe Dulles pulled off a diplomatic coup point out that: 1. The dominant French reaction was that France never again could permit herself to become so weak or so isolated that she would leave an empty chair ait a conference • of the major world powers. > 2. The French Senate ratified • the Paris pacts by a far greater 1 majority than the most optimistic 1 of state department experts hoped for. ! 3. Reports from Germany show > that the West Germans have been ’ most impressed by the Yalta pa--1 pers’ evidence of the harshness of ' the Russian attitude, rather than ’ the statements of the late President Franklin D.

He made a date to pay a S2OB account he owed the finance'company, but failed to keep It. However, Indianapolis detectives say they are inclined to believe Dennison is in Chicago at the present time, and are working on this theory. ' A tip that me wanted man had tried to sell a wrist watch resembling that stolen from the Kroetz home at Noblesville proved a dud. Indianapolis detectives said this morning.
