BANDITS WRECK BANK, FIGHT POSSE

HOOVER OPENS DRIVE TO END HOARDING EVIL Col. Frank Knox, Chicago Publisher, Selected to Head Campaign. CALLS BUSINESS CHIEFS President *Hopes to Bring Billion Out of U. S. Hiding Places. BY PAUL R. MALLON Unilrd Press Stall Corrfsoondrnt WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—President Hoover started organizing to- ! day the kind of a campaign he used to save sugar and wheat during the war—this time to drive sl,300,000,000 out of hiding in sugar bowls, strong boxes and safety deposit vaults. Fifty influential organization heads were called to a White House conference to plan the drive against slacker money, on the same basis as the patriotic campaigns against slackers during the war. Before the end of the day the President plans to have the citizen leaders grouped in a skeleton organization. The President and his reconstruction finance corporation chief, Charles G. Dawes, have prepared speeches to fan the patriotism of the conferees. Their views are know'n. Mr. Hoover thinks that if hoarding can be broken up, the deflation can be stopped. He believes the withdrawal of money from productive enterprise w'as largely responsible for the $10,000,000,000 deflation of credits. Knox Heads Campaign He has appealed to the press to help him in his campaign, and has singled out one of the most prominent publishers, Colonel Frank Knox of the Chicago Dally News, to head the campaign organization. The idea Mr. Hoover wants to stress is that the curtailment of hoarding is not a bankers’ relief proposition. He takes the ground that the problem is related closely to employment and credits for small business men and farmers. The contraction of currency in circulation has led the federal reserve banks, for instance, to cut 75 or 80 per cent of their reserves in gold, whereas the law requires only 40 per cent. Sees Business Revival This corner on gold ties up funds the banks otherwise would use for loans to business men and farmers, according to the view taken at the White House. Credits fluctuate on a basis of 10 to 1 in comparison with gold, in his opinion. For every dollar drawn out of hiding, he therefore expects to create $lO in credits. Naturally, such a credit expansion would promote a commensurate in- ,! crease In business, thereby touching the employment problem. His campaign will be conducted hand in hand with the American Legion drive to promote temporary employment. The legion drive to put a million men back to work will start at 8 a. m. Feb. 15 and close one month later. The legion plans to canvass every house in the country under the “block system.” Every citizen will be asked to contribute some work for unemployed men. Chicago May Be Key City Daily check will be kept on the progress of the drive and newspapers have agreed to give prominent displays to these announcer ents. Billboards and radio also will be used. Advertisers on the radio have agreed to devote thirty seconds every fifteen minutes to campaign announcements. In making the announcement of Knox’ selection late Friday, Mr. Hoover said headquarters might be established in Chicago. He expects Knox to come to Washington for a conference within a few days. Knox is 57 years old. He spent his life in the newspaper business, starting as a reporter on the Grand Raipds (Mich.) Herald in 1898. He has published newspapers in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; Manchester, N. H.; Boston and Chicago. SWINE PRICES DROP 10 TO 20 CENTS AT YARDS Slaughter Class Cattle Show Loss for Week’s Trade.

PERIL STILL GREAT IN SHANGHAI AREA

Foreign Colonists Warned That Worst of Danger Is Not Past. BY H. R. EKINS United Pres* Staff Correspondent SHANGHAI, Feb. 6.—Word went forth today to foreign colonists in Shanghai that they must realize that possibly the worst is yet to come in the Chincse-Japanese situation. One of the highest authorities in the international settlement, which includes Americans, British, and other groups, told the United Press that it would be foolhardy to harbor a false sense of security, when, as a mater of fact, real danger—even destruction of foreign lives ,and property—may be impending. Japan has been frustrated so far in her objectives here. She is reinforcing her military forces considerably. And, according to the United Press informant, the Japanese still are determined to accomplish the original occupation objectives. Opposed to the Japanese and still firm and aroused are the Chinese who have tasted partial victory over the mighty Nipponese. DROP DUE Rain or Snow Likely, Says Weather Forecaster. A slight drop in temperature, probably with rain or snow, will dampen Sabbath spirits for city i residents. The thermometer will near the ! freezing point Sunday morning, aci cording to the United States weath- ! er observatory. Clouds will hang over the city i throughout the week-end. Precipitation will not add to the state’s flood dangers, the weather bureau says. It will be cooler Sunday afternoon.

ALLEN IS CHEERED AT HIS TRIAL FOR MURDER

BY PAUL COMLY FRENCH United Pres* Staff Correspondent NORRISTOWN. Pa., Feb. 6. Jurors who wept at an accused murderer’s testimony, and courtroom attendants who booed efforts to confuse that witness, will be given another chance to display their feeling for Edward H. B. Allen before considering the state's case against him today. The commonwealth today was to present rebuttal witnesses, then the district attorney and the chief defense attorneys planned their final pleas to the Jury considering the charge that Allen murdered Francis Donaldson 111, his sister’s alleged betrayer. What the jury of ten middle-aged men and two housewives will do with that case is a matter of opinion. But in the view of gamblers, based on the unprecedented cheering, Uooing and demonstrations in

Who’s Next? By United Press ORCHARD, Neb., Feb. 6. “I’ve gotta have a haircut,” Lloyd Bearinger told his barber. “And I need a pig to eat the scraps from the table at my house,” C. H. Lee, the barber, told Bearinger. So the next time Bearinger came to town he loaded a pig in the rear seat of his car and traded the porker to Lee for the haircut,

SILENT ON HANSOM South Bend Man’s Alleged Deal Is Unconfirmed. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 6.—Confirmation was lacking today as to whether SB,OOO ransom had been paid in the case of Howard Woolverton, South Bend business man, who last week reported he was kidnaped and whose wife displayed a note in which $50,000 was demanded. Authorities and Woolverton refuse to discuss the purported payment. Woolverton returned to his home here approximately twenty-four hours after the kidnaping. It is reported the SB,OOO settlement was agreed upon while he was held, with an agreement that the money would be paid within two weeks, instructions as to its delivery to be contained in a letter. Aged Pauper Dies By Times Special RENSSELAER, Ind., Feb. 6. Miss Mary Downey, 75, an inmate of the Jasper county infirmary for forty-seven years, is dead.

the court room Friday, AHen will be acquitted. Hisses and boos greeted the district attorney, Stewart Nase, as he belligerently sought to confuse Allen during his hour and forty-five minutes on the witness stand. Later the booing for the prosecutor shifted to a ripple of applause, which increased into a roar, for Allen. Nase, sardonically questioning Allen, shouted: “Why didn’t you shoot Donaldson in the leg?” “Why, Mr. Nase, I didn’t intend to shoot him at all,” he responded with a disarming, boyish smile. Then the staid old court room, packed with residents of Philadelphia’s exclusive main line section, burst into cheers. Judge Knight leaned forward, astounded. “If a repetition of this occurs," the benign, kindly jurist sternly declared, “the court room will be cleared.” 4*

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1932

JAPAN TO SEND NEW ARMY TO SHANGHAI ZONE Reinforcements Ordered to Protect Her Nationals, Just as Other Powers Are Doing, Says Tokio Statement. ACTION OF OTHER COUNTRIES CITED Armistice Is Short-Lived; Bombardment of Chapei Is Resumed by Nipponese Air Fleet. BY MILES W. VAUGHN United Press Staff Correspondent (Copvrieht. 1932. by United Press) TOKIO, Feb. 6.—Japan proposes to reinforce her armed forces in Shanghai to protect her nationals, just as other powers are doing, she will inform her representatives abroad, in a statement on “grave decisions,” the United Press learned today. The government already has transmitted that statement, in which its future policy toward China is outlined, to its representatives, the United Press learned.

The official summary of Japan’s • statement, obtained by the United Press here, set forth that this country’s forces in Shanghai at present are less than the AngloAmerican forces there, but Japan’s nationals and interests are larger than those of any other country. Moreover, the statement contends, the lives of Japanese in Shanghai are in imminent danger, with vastly superior Chinese forces threatening to surround the Japanese bluejackets. Japan proposes to reinforce these forces, the same as the other powers are doing. The statement emphasized that the reinforcements will be confined to protection of Japanese lives and interests within Shanghai, and will discharge the duty which Japan assumed in common with the other powers in protecting the settlement. Other points emphasized were that the Japanese would guarantee not to attack the Chinese unless the Chinese obstruct them. It furthermore is contended that the Shanghai incident must be considered separate entirely from Manchuria. The reinforcements now being dispatched will be withdrawn as soon as their purpose has been accomplished. Chapei Is Bombed BY H. R. EKINS United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1932. by United Press) SHANGHAI, Feb. 6.—A Japanese aerial bombardment in Chapet at 3 p. m. central standard time today abruptly interrupted a fantastic unwritten truce begun a few hours earlier to permit observance of the ancient Chinese New Year. A squadron of Japanese bombers from the aircraft carrier Notoro began bombing two troublesome Chinese artillery batteries in Chapei, and the battle of Shanghai was on again after a brief lull. Japanese marine headquarters announced, when the aerial attack ceased, that their artillery, reinforced during the day, would join the bombardment of the weakening Chinese positions. Japanese Admiral on Way Chinese troops in the blackened ruins of Chapei attempted to observe the lunar New Year, celebrated in China for centuries. They made the best of wartime makeshifts. There was a noticeable absence of the usual firecrackers. The Chinese apparently feared these might be mistaken for resumption of the battle. The Japanese, with typical oriental willingness to exchange amenities, appeared ready to take advantage of the breathing spell. It will give time for Admiral Nomura, the new naval commanding officer, to arrive. He is due Monday. The Twelfth division of the Japanese imperial army also was reported en route, and due not later than Monday, reinforcing the war-weary Japanese marines. U. S. Infantry Lands The Thirty-first infantry, United j States army, landed at 8 a. m. from ; the transport Chaumont, prior to | a brief exchange of artillery fire | during the morning. The settiej ment streets were free of traffic as ! the American soldiers landed at the customs jetty and marched jauntily along the bund and up Nanking road, bands playing lively martial airs. Many cheered from windows along the route to their new quarters, however, awakened by the blare of bands as the soldiers marched smartly along Shanghai’s most colorful street—the first regular army troops to land in China j since the boxer rebellion in 1900. Chinese lined the Nanking road and gazed curiously at the new arrivals as they swung along. They * were billeted at the ,/New World

amusement palace, at Nanking and Tibet roads, converted into emergency barracks. Report Russ Mobilizing By United Press LONDON, Feb. 6.—The News Chronicle today printed a report from unnamed “Japanese sources” that 70,000 Russian troops had been concentrated at Vladivostok. The report said martial law had been proclaimed and Japanese residents fired on.- Steamer passengers reaching Tsuruga, Japan, opposite Vladivostok, were quoted as saying the Soviet troops were restive, and that 200 white, or czarist Russians, had been arrested.

WORLD POLICE PLANOPPOSED French Move Meets Little Favor in Geneva. BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Corresnondent GENEVA, Feb. 6.—The dramatic French proposal to create a powerful international police force under control of the League of Nations was received unfavorably today by leading delegates to the world'disarmament conference and by leading European newspapers. The chances of its acceptance are slight. Consensus seemed to be that the creation of a military force to prevent war, as proposed by Andre Tardieu, French minister of war, is not related to disarmament, the purpose of the present conference. United States delegates did not comment. But they are known to oppose any plan requiring the United States to pledge support for an international army to prevent war, as envisioned by France. A technical expert of the American delegation said he did not believe such organization could be maintained. “It’s a beautiful fable, but it lacks a moral,” a member of the German delegation declared.

IF - Experts Doubt U. S. Ability to Defeat Japan, IF War Comes.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Forelrn Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—What would happen If Japan suddenly declared war against the United States? There is nothing of the jingo in this question. It is not put because the tragedy is considered likely. But the incredibly reckless course steered by the Japanese general staff since September has left the world gasping—and wondering. War between the United States and Japan would be far from the walkover the man in the street might have reason to think. Strategists in Europe as well as in America even doubt if we could win a purely military victory over Japan. Every great power has its war plans against every other power or combination of powers. Japan is no exception. Her war plans against the United States call for a series of sudden, swift blows at distant points, then to wait for us to bring the war to them. u u u CHIEFLY, she would strike in the Far East, 6,000 miles from our west coast, 9,000 miles from our eastern industrial centers, and more than 11,000 miles from New York, via Panama, the shortest all-water route. American and foreign army and navy officers and internationally known military critics agree that the following plan of campaign likely would be followed, at least in the initial stages: The Japanese would seize the Philippines which, since the Washington conference, are wide open to capture by any strong, treatybreaking power. Simultaneously, would be taken the island of Guam, our undefended base 1,500 miles east of Manila. As the Japanese already hold the Pelew, Caroline and Marshall islands, by mandate, stretching two-thirds of the way from the Philippines to Hawaii, our sea route thus would be flanked for some 3,000 .miles. While the above was going on, the Panama canal probably would be put out of commission—not by seizure, but by sabotage of some kind, blocking this vital waterway during the openeing stages of hostilities, if no longer. Submarine ambushes would be laid along the route from Hawaii to the Philippines—a route 4,767 miles long. tt tt u THE water passages between the continuous chain of Japanese islands would be mined, from the peninsula of Kamchatka in the north to the East Indies in the south, making access to China from the Pacific almost impossible. Fast cruisers would be sent out as commerce-raiders, as Germany did with the Emden and other ships during the World war; also, submarines to harass our lines of communication and break our morale. . Japan’s capital ships, with their auxiliaries, would be kept intact, close to home, ready to meet our fleet 6,000 miles from our mainland. Japan likely would force our fleet to fight in waters near enough to her bases to permit al- j most the full strength of her air forces to wing into action. Our planes, of course, would have to operate from carriers. *t tt tt “TF America fights in the Pacific,” JL Hector Bywater, British naval critic said, before the present crisis arose, “it will be, among other things, for the protection —or, what is more likely, for the recovery—of the Philippines. “To do this, she must be prepared to undertake naval operations in the immediate zone of war, namely the far western Pacific. How this is to be done without local base facilities is a problem which apparently defies solution. “It is certain that in their present defenseless condition, both the Philippines and Guam would be- ! come Japanese in the first weeks of war . . . for goou or ill, the doors of the Far East have been slammed, barred and bolted, and the keys placed in the hands of Japan.” Which is far from a pleasant picture. Victory for us would be a long, hard pull, for Japan’s weakness is economic rather than mili- ! tary.

U. S., BRITAIN FRENZIEDLY SEEKING PEACE FORMULA

BY .JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The United States and Great Britain were engaged today in a desperate search for some means of quenching the mounting battle flames at Shanghai. Their hopes were not brightened by news that Tokio would send an infantry division, perhaps 10,000 men, to the shell-pitted flats of Shanghai, increasing the possibility of a major engagement. While the Orient was tense, the cables connecting Washington and London hummed with anxious messages. Although Tokio could not accept—save in part—the original BritishAmerican peace pisposals, it invited new ones. Secretary of State Stiin-

SEVEN ROBBERS ESCAPE AFTER HOUR’S BATTLE Building Shattered by Dynamite Blasts; Yeggs Get Stamps, Valuable Papers, No Cash in Waveland Raid. SUB-MACHINE CUN USED IN FORAY Bullets Spray Streets, Peril Hotel Guests;' Citizens Return Fire Until Cracksmen Flee. By Times Special WAVELAND, Ind., Feb. 6.—Six bandits wrecked the Waveland State bank with dynamite blasts at 2 a. m. today, after severing light and telephone wires, and escaped following a gun battle, lasting an hour, with townsmen. One of the raiders was believed wounded when nearly a dozen citizens surrounded the bank and poured shots at the bandits. The robbers obtained no money.

Riding in two automobile, the gang descended on the town, jimmied the door of the bank and set off seven dynamite charges, which awakened the entire populace. The blasts wrecked a large vault and shattered windows in the bank and neighboring buildings. Raiders failed to blow open the strong box, and obtained only a few hundred dollars in stamps and several valuable papers, T. H. Johnson, president, said. Use Sub-Machine Gun Armed with a sub-machine gun, one bandit was stationed near the front of the bank in a courtway between the institution and the Cuppy hotel. While three of the raiders broke into the bank and set off the dynamite blasts, two other bandits and the machine gun operators remained on guard outside. Miss Ruth Morgan, night telephone operator, first learned of the raid when bandits cut the telephone wires. She notified Howard Worl, manager. Worl then notified several neighbors, who armed themselves and ran to the bank, only to be met with a fusillade of bullets from the sub-machine gun. Shots Are Exchanged The possemen took shelter in a garage across the street from the bank, and exchanged nearly two hundred shots with the raiders before the outlaws escaped. First word of the robbery leaked to the outside world when Worl climbed a telephone pole to establish communication with Rockville and Crawfordsville. A band of possemen was dispatched from Crawfordsville, but reached the town after the bandits fled. As Worl clung to the top of the pole, three bandits, leaving the bank, passed below, where Worl’s bulldog “Queen” was standing. As the bandit fled toward their cars, the dog ran after them. Dog Chases Bandits Worl said he shouted “hey” to the dog. Then one of the bandits halted and yelled to Worl to “shut up.” The bulldog continued to chase the men, but stopped when one of the bandits threw several rocks. Several persons in the Cuppy hotel narrowly escaped being shot in the exchange of bullets between vigilantes and the bandits. Mrs. Sarah Miler, operator of the hotel, and her daughter, Mrs. Mary Kirschman, were awakened by the 1 shots. Mrs. Kirschman ran into the hotel lobby and turned out a night light. Just as she pressed the button, a bullet shattered a glass in the door of the hotel, missing Mrs. Kirshman by a few inches. Guests Flee to Safety Meanwhile, Mrs. Miller drew a chair to the window overlooking the street and witnessed the exchange of shots. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Robertson of

son and the foreign office of Great Britain are supposed to be concocting anew peace formula. It may or may not be offered to Tokio, depending on whether the powers can devise any effective plan they believe will be accepted, and also on developments before the plan is completed. For instance, the mysterious and imminent Tokio announcement may dash all their hopes. Although negotiations for the new peace plan primarily were between the United States and Britain, it was believed France and Italy would join in the move later. The announcement that Tokio was sending new troops to Shanghai came as unpleasant news to officials here, but they could appreciate the reasons for it. V

TWO CENTS

Indianapolis were guests at the hotel. Robertson is the father-in-law of Taylor E. Groninger, Indianapolis attorney. They were awakened by first shots, and ran to safety in the rear of the hotel. When the bandits descended on the town, they shot out all street lights in the business section, and. aided by darkness, reached the bank undetected. The first blast, according to Miss Morgan, sounded at 2:15. A few minutes later, townsmen had collected in the garage facing the bank. Bandit guards engaged them in gunfire while the bandits on the inside of the bank set off six other blasts. Damage About 55.000 Damage to the building and furnishings ivas estimated at from $5,000 to $6,000. Officers are G. W. Deer, president: Theodore M. Johnson, cashier, and T. F. Banta, assistant cashier. George Slavens, Waveland mail carrier, was one of the first townsmen to reach the bank. He was awakened by his wife as bandits fired several shots at street lights. Slavens got out of bed and looked out of the window, in time to see the first blast in the bank. Arming himself with a rifle and a .45 caliber revolver, he ran toward to bank, and seeing the bandit guards, ran back to rouse neighbors. Fired on by Bandits Among these was Fred McNutt, postmaster. Together, the four approached the bank and were met with shots. They ran across the street to the garage. Slavens stationed himself near the door facing the bank. As he fired a volley at guards on either side of the bank, a rain of machine gun bullets splattered around the • door. One bullet disloged a splinter, which pierced Slavens’ hand. After nearly an hour, the bandits fled through the rear of the bank toward the waiting automobiles. It was then that they passed World as he clung to the top of the telephone pole. Nelson Miles, living nearly a half mile from the bank, said he was awakened about 2 a. m. by the barking of his dog, “Trouble.” Ordered Into House Miles ran from the house in time to see one of the bandits clipping the telephone wires. Occupants of one of the bandits cars ordered Miles back into the house. Miles obeyed the order ,but seized a revolver and returned to the street. By this time, the bandit had driven toward the bank. Miles aroused his son, Norman, wh oalso armed himself. Together the two walked toward the bank. A blast then was sounded. Avery Fuller, living near the bank, heard the blast and revolver shots, and ran from the house, firing at the raiders. Knightstown Woman Dies By Tima Special KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind., Feb. 6.
