LEGION IS ON ‘HUSK RETREAT' IN OXNAM QUIZ ‘Patriotic Purity Probe’ Is Being Quashed by Board Quietly. "Quiet retreat" appeared to be the strategy today of the Seventh district American Legion’s special committee which two weeks ago was appointed to investigate the 'patriotic purity” of Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, Grecncastle. One of the committeemen, V. M. Armstrong, prevented consideration of a condemnatory resolution regarding the move by Memorial Friday night by telling the Legionaires that the investigation is to be quietly quashed. Armstrong is a member of the post. But today. Chairman Mark Hamer of the probe committee and Senator Joe Rand Beckett, a member, declared they knew nothing about *he matter. Hamer refused to say whether the investigation is to be dropped and said he didn’t want to be quoted in connection with the Armstrong statement. The committee was appointed by Dr. Frank E. Long, Seventh district Legion chairman, after William P. Evans, Insull attorney, charged in a speech to De Pauw alumni that Oxnam is permitting speakers at the college to preach subversive doctrines of “sex, Sovietism and Socialism.” Protest against the Seventh district action was registered by the Fifth district, where the school is located and also by the Greencastle Legion post. Armstrong prevented further scoring in resolutions by the Memorial post.

KIRKLAND JURY ‘DRAFT’ ORDERED Judge Wearies of Grind at Gin Death Trial. Till United Press VALPARAISO, Ind., May 9.—The Virgil Kirkland murder trial was recessed today while Sheriff Burney Maxwell went out on the streets to recruit disinterested persons willing to sit in judgment of the 20-year-old Gary athlete charged with the death of his sweetheart, Arlene Draves, 18. The drastic measure, unprecedented in this district, was ordered by Judge Grant Crumpacker after the fifth special venire had been exhausted and only nine jurors tentatively selected. The trial, which is Kirkland’s second, has been in progress nearly two weeks, during which time more than 200 men and women have been questioned for jury duty. Weary of the endless questioning, Judge Crumpacker late Friday ordered Maxwell to “go out on the streets of Valparaiso and pick up every able-bodied man and woman under 60 willing to serve on the jury.” Attorneys expect that the jury will be completed from the group which Maxwell will present Monday.

TRIO IS NABBED ; IN ROAD HOLDUP Many Robberies Believed Solved by Arrests. Series of robberies of motorists in the last few months in the north section of the city were believed oleared today by police, who said they had obtained confessions from three youths nabbed Tuesday night by deputy sheriffs after a robbery. According to the police, the trio j admitted they had prowled boule- ’ vards and dark spots along less fre- \ quented roads making lovers and! lone motorists their prey, their loot I never totaling msre than a few dol- ! lars. The youths charged with auto banditry and robbery are Clarence Brown, 21, of R. R. 18, Box 304-B, Irvin Wissen, 19, of 930 Eugene street, and George Butler, 19, of 1442 Herschell street.

In their purported confessions, the youths told of atempting to rob a man parked in an auto on Kesslar boulevard March 20, but were forced to abandon the atempt because “we laughed so hard after we found him playing a French harp and reading 1 a magazine.” Milk Price Cut By United Press NOBLESVILLE, Ind..

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TWO-GUN THUG WANTS TO DIE ’IN A HURRY’ Crowley, Killer of Cop, Asks to Be Sent to Chair Quickly. By United Press NEW YORK. May 9.—Francis (Two Gunt Crowley, captured after a spectacular one-hour police bombardment, is eager to end his criminal career in Sing Sing’s electric chair as quickly as possible. The 20-year-old gunman today told authorities from his hospital cot, where he is being treated for three minor gunshot wounds, that he is ready to admit his guilt in the' murder of Patrolman Frederick Hirsch, and pay with his life swiftly. Crcsvley is in Nassau county hospital under police guard today after his indictment for the murder on the testimony of his 16-year-old sweetheart, Helen Walsh of Brooklyn, who was with him when Hirsch was riddled with bullets on Black Shirt lane in North Merrick, L. I. At the same time, his pal, Rudolph Duringer, alias Durniger, 220pound truckman, is in jail here, indicted by a Bronx county grand jury for slaying Virginia Brannen. Harlem dance hall hostess. Duringer said he lulled the girl because she spurned his advances. When Crowley learned that the Walsh girl had turned against him, he told District. Attorney Elvin N. Edwards of Nassau county, that he wanted to go to the chair in a hurry. “T know I’m going to burn,” he told Edwards. “What’s the use of fooling around with a trial. I'll be poison to the jurors. They'll give me the works for killing that cop if it’s the last thing they ever do. So let’s get it over.” A woman, whose love Crowley scorned caused his capture Thurs- | day. Billie Dunne, an entertainer | at the same dance hall where Miss Brannen was employed, held Crowley’s affections and shared an apartment with him and Duringer until last Wednesday, when the gangster told her: “You'd better clear out. I’m bringing a. real girl home with me. You can go with Duringer.” Angered, Miss Dunne told everyone with whom she came in contact where Crowley, object of a manhunt, could be found.

DYING ‘PREXY’ MAY LOSE HIS LAST OBJECTIVE Dr. Brooks Never May Be Able to Sign Remaining 168 Diplomas. WACO, Tex., May 9.—Facing almost certain defeat in the last great task he had set for himself, Dr. S. P. Brooks struggled today to muster enough strength to sign his name 168 more times before his hand is stilled by death. Warned by physicians that cancer would kill him within less than two weeks and that any exertion would hasten the end, the president of Baylor university nevertheless fought on in his determination to sign all the diplomas for the spring graduating class before he dies. “I must do it for my students,” he declared. Three hundred times Dr. Brooks summoned ebbing strength to pen his signature. With 168 diplomas left the strength failed and today it appeared he was doomed to defeat in his last objective. The president took a turn for the worse during the night. Abdominal cancer had eaten to his vitals.
