HIKER SHOOTS CITY MAN WHO GAVE KIM RIDE Russell Gardner, Wounded Critically, Is Hurled From Car by Assailant. A missing Purdue university student was sought today as detectives investigated the mysterious shooting early Thursday night of Russell Gardner, 50, of 3236 North Illinois street, in a robbery near Keystone avenue and Seventy-first street. Gardner, in a critical condition at city hospital from three bullet wounds in the head and a knife wound in the neck, told detectives he was attacked by a hitch hiker. His chances for recovery are slight, physicians said. The missing student is Howell Blackburn, 20, of Oak Park, 111., who disappeared from the Purdue campus about noon Thursday. Suspected Youth Given Lift A youth answering the description of the assailant was given a “lift” by two men in a small coupe at Madison and Hanna avenues, shortly before 9 this morning, George Baltzell. employe of the state highway department, told detectives. The youth entered the coupe after telling the occupants he was “going to Louisville.” Baltzell said. Report of Sheriff Fred Puckert at Muncie that a youth answering the same description was brought to Muncie from Indianapolis by a motorist, also was being investigated. Theory was advanced by Melvin Blackburn of Lafayette, brother of the missing student, that Howell may have been slugged and robbed and his handbag taken by the same man who robbed Gardner. Found at Roadside Gardner, a former state highway purchasing agent, was returning to his home from the Purdue road school, when he picked up a hitchhiker near Lafayette. Three hours later Gardner was found by deputy sheriffs lying at the roadside. Although in a semi-conscious condition, Gardner was able to give fragments of the story to detectives. He said his assailant, a young man carrying a brown handhag with a Purdue pennant, drew a revolver when they reached Indianapolis, ordering Gardner to drive to Sev-enty-first street. Gardner’s pockets were looted of $5. but a watch and a diamond stick pin were not taken. The assailant tossed Gardner to the side of the road. Later, detectives found the automobile. owned by Gardner’s brother, Everett Gardner of Monticello. at Forty-second street and'the Monon crossing. Describes His Assailant Gardner described his assailant as about 23. five feet, nine inches tall, wearing a light grey overcoat and a grey hat. Howell Blackburn was described as being five feet six inches tall, weighing 160 pounds. He wore dark trousers, black shoes and a dark blue coat with a light fur collar. Blackburn had failed in his studies, had left the university, and was going south, detectives were told. Two automobiles bearing Purdue students reached police headquarters early today to aid in the search. Students said the description of Gardner’s assailant did not answer that of the missing student.

CABINET PERILS SENATE TRUCE BY ‘MEDDLING' Democrats Are Incensed by ‘Deliberate Injection of Partisanship.’ BY LEO R. SACK Time* Staff Corresuondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—The political truce which has prevailed in congress, particularly in the senate, to facilitate passage of reconstruction legislation, is drawing to a close, senators believed today. Democratic senators are incensed over what they regard as deliberate injection of partisanship by President Hoover’s cabinet members. Republican senators, anxious to get the President's program through with a minimum of political oratory, have warned him that a continuation of speech-making by some of his cabinet will have disastrous consequences. • The criticism aoplies to Secretary of Hurley and Secretary of Agriculture Hy#e. both of whom asserted in speeches that the after-the-war loans made by the Wilson

administration to European allies were without sanction of law. A development within the last few days has contributed to ruffled senatorial feelings. For more than a year a subcommittee of the banking and currency committee, headed by Glass and including Bulkley, of Ohio, as the other Democratic member, has been working on amendments to the banking laws. Their proposed legislation was completed and forwarded to the treasury, as a courtesy, for criticisms and suggestions. A feature of the Glass bill was the proposed depositors’ relief plan whereby a liquidation corporation is established to acquire assets of closed banks, in order to pay depositors. Before the committee’s bill had been returned to the capitol, an administration bill had been introduced by Senator Thomas ißep., Idaho) authorizing a $750,000,000 depositors relief corporation and the committee was being urged to give it right-of-way. s Republican leader Watson heard from the Democrats in a frank and forceful manner and Watson hurried to the White House. Senator Glass was invited to the White House, too, and he conferred with the President for more than an hour. Peace conferences were held Thursday and it was decided to let the Glass committee bill be reported as written, with such technical corrections as officials deemed necessary.
