STOCK MARKET QUIZ HINGES ON NEW YORKERS More Vigorous Probe May Be Made Under New Rooseveit Regime. BY RAY TUCKER Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—With the senatorial investigation of the New York Stock Exchange dragging to a slow death, responsibility for a more vigorous prosecution under the new administration may depend upon three New York men. They aro President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose attitude undoubtedly will influence Democratic leaders in their decisions; Senator Robert F. Wagner, who may become head of the committee under Democratic control, and Ferdinand Pccora, who was named committee counsel after several others had resigned with charges that the senatorial group did not want a real inquiry. Probe to Continue It generally is believed the investigation will be continued by the Democrats, although the trend and extent still is undecided. Mr. Rooseveit demanded regulation and publicity with respect to stock and bond issues during the campaign, and the committee’s study of tiie Kreuger and Toll fiasco revealed the need of more rigid control of certain financial companies’ books and audits. The New York influence in the investigation strikes some committee members as ironic, for it originally was felt that supervision of the examination should be kept out of the hands of any one even geographically associated with Wall Street. Bar Skilled Lawyers For this reason the committee refused to seek the services of such skilled lawyers as Samuel Untermyer or Max Steuer, both of New York, and turned to other sections of • the country for counsel. After little success was obtained by these men in cross-examining golden figures of the Exchange, the committee finally turned to the man who headed Seabufy's staff of investigators—lrving Ben Cooper. But he resigned with the charge that chairman Peter Norbeck (Rep., N. D.) refused to give him a free hapd, and then Pccora was selected. He' at one time was a Tammany assistant district attorney at New York. It is known efforts to get the services of Untermyer or Steuer were made before Pecora was engaged, but neither man would serve. SLAIN IN PENAL FARM Former Chicago Gunman Is Victim of Stabbing in Texas. By l llili il l’rrxH ANGLETON, Tex., Feb. 13.

HOT CAR RING WRECKED

Master Mind of Auto Theft Gang Is Persistence Victim

This is the fifth of a series of stories, based on information from the flies of the United States Bureau of Investigation and other sources, telling for the first time the Bureau * agent*' part in famous mysteries. BY LOU WEDEMAR Times Staff Writer IN the secret files of the United States bureau of investigation are details of a most amazing racket —traffic in stolen automobiles. More than 100,000 high-priced cars are stolen in America annually. Some disappear in New York City and are located in Florida, Texas, or California. Others never are found and probably are sold in China, the Argentine, or Europe. The traffic costs more than $100,000,000 a year, almost all of which is profit to the thieves, and their danger is less than that of the oldfashioned horse thief, who risked the penalty of death by hanging. Special Agent J-8 was assigned by the bureau of investigation in September, 1930, to break up a notorious stolen-car ring which operated in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island. "They’re so bold they'll be stealing police cars next," J. Edgar Hoover, the bureau director, told him. Agent J-8 made a few inquiries, consulting, among others, the Automobile Writers' Detective Bureau, which traces stolen cars. He found Director Hoover had not overstated the boldness of the ring. Professional car spotters patrolled the streets, picking out new automobiles whose owners habitually left them unlocked and unguarded. Through underworld contacts, J-8 learned that the ring apparently was under the guidance of an intelligent chief, whose identity none of the minor employes knew. One young spotter, whose confidence the agent obtained, told him: "We report the owner's schedule, his habits, how long he stays in a place. When we get half a dozen good cars lined- up. the chief engages space on a boat, telling the captain the cars are on their way in from a distant city, and will arrive just before sailing time." "And while I'm driving my new car down Broadway the ganglmay be planning to ship it to Argentina, and have the transportation all arranged. Is that it?” The spotter admitted that it was. "A juicy racket," he boasted. "Want to get in it?” "Let you know later,” said J-8, "I have to get home for supper.” As it turned out J-8 did not join the auto theft ring. Neither did he get home to supper. That afternoon the police department auto squad notified the bureau that it had arrested Willit m €• Hayes, whom I described as the master mind of the auto theft ring. A newspaper man had recognized him on the street as the man who had sold him an auto that ran very nicely, but which the police had seized as stolen.

Agent J-8 hurried to headquarters and joined in the questioning of Hayes. "Well.” said Hayes, “I may as well admit it. You’ve got me right. I’m the big cheese and you don’t need to look any further.” He refused to talk any more. But J-8 was far from convinced that Hayes was the criminal master mind he pretended to be. He was far too meek. In a garage in Brooklyn the police found a stolen automobile to which they said Hayes had the keys. J-8 examined the car with them, but apparently all the identifying numbers had been removed. The license plates had been taken from another stolen car. The bureau of investigation has jurisdiction over stolen auto cases when the theft is planned or carried out in more than one state. So J-8 paid particular attention to interstate aspects of the stolen car, which was listed on the bureau’s record as car No. 21. a a st He subjected Car No. 21 to a most thorough inspection. The motor number and the serial number had been off. He dismantled the car, but the ring was too smart to be caught easily. The secret axle number had been eradicated and so had the body number. Without these numbers J-8 would be unable to trace it to its owner, and so if the car had been stolen in another state—he might be unable to prove violation of federal laws. But before he had completed his examination, J-8 came upon a clew that sent him half-way across the United States. ■”nder the back seat was a hotel room key, bearing the name of a hotel in Dallas. Texas. This, J-8 thought, might be the clincher. J-8 went hom% for his suitcase, but still he couldn’t stop for supper. A short time later he was in Dallas. At the Creamer hotel he sought the manager. "I want the names of every body who has occupied Room 309 in the last few months," he said. "I want to locate the owner of a Cadillac we found in New' York." "I can help you quicker than that," said the manager. "We keep a record of cars owned by guests. Maybe you can find the license number there."

WILLIAM B. THOMAS CLAIMED BY DEATH Fnd Comes Sunday to Retired Executive of Indiana Bell Telephone. Following an illness of one week. William B. Thomas, 62, of 76 North Layman avenue, a retired executive of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, died Sunday in the Methodist hospital. The Rev. Guy O. Carpenter, pastor of the Irvington Methodist church, will conduct funeral services at 2 Tuesday in the church. Burial arrangements have not been made. Mr. Thomas had spent his entire life in telephone activities, and was connected with the old Central Union Telephone Company. He was a supervisor for the Indiana Bell Telephone Company at the time of his retirement last June. He had been a resident of Indianapolis thirtv-five years. LEGGER SUSPECTS HELD Follow Car, Find Fifty-Gallon Still in House. Police Claim. Following an automobile with £ix barrels lashed to the running board, police were led Saturday night to 433 South Alabama street, where it is alleged preparations were being made for setting up a still. John Doan, 60, and his son, Claude. 32. of the Alabama street address, and Walter Hudson, formerly of New Albany, were arrested when a fifty-gallon still, five sacks of corn sugar, and a bag of barley were found. Police said the younger Doan and Hudson told them they had brought the still from New Albany, but had not begun operation. three~¥iners injured Two Are Reported in Critical Condition After Boonville Mishap. £;i l nited /’rets BOONVILLE.

After considerable search J-8 emerged from the storeroom triumphant. Car No. 21 had been put in the garage at the Creamer hotel three months previously by Leo Berman, of Brooklyn, N. Y. St St J-8 telegraphed the bureau, and instituted a search of police records in all cities between Dallas and New York. Before he arrived in New York, traffic violations against Car No. 21 had been located in Louisiana. Ohio, and New Jersey. He had proof of the car’s interstate movement. Whether Berman was the legitimate owner of the car J-8 could not at once determine. Motor vehicle records failed to show his name. Who was Berman? That was the next question. The agent’s first act on returning to New York, however, was to complete his examination of Car No. 21. And to his delight he and the police detective who helped him found a number on the generator which only partially had been erased. A magnifying glass showed the number to be K-7856981. With this, determination of the original owner was easy. The factory reported the car had been sold to William Scshnick, of Bay Twentieth Street, Brooklyn. Mr. Soshnick was well pleased to see Agent J-8.

Quick! Stop That COLD! Don't Let It Run Beyond the First Stage! A cold ordinarily goes through three stages: the Dry stage the first 24 hours; the Watery Secretion Stage, from 1 to 3 days; and the Mucous Secretion Stage. To‘let a cold run beyond the first stage is inviting danger. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine taken at the first sign of a cold will usually stop it in one day. This famous tablet is effective because it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowels, kills the cold germs and fever in the system, re- • lieves the headache and tones the entire system. Anything less than that is toying with a cold. Get Grove's Laxative BROMO QUININE today and accept nothing else. Now two sizes—3oc and 50c—at all druggists.—Advertiyment. i

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“I had about given up hope,” he said. "I left my car for a few minutes and when I came back it was gone. Who took it?” J-8 told him the mystery was not quite solved. They went to the Borough Hall side street where the car had been left, but the trail was too old. J-8 decided he would have to try other tactics. Hayes, convicted in the state courts and sentenced to eighteen months on Welfare Island, was at first not very susceptible to conversation when J-8 approached him in the visiting room. "Why don't you tell the truth?” J-8 asked. “I told the truth.” "Come on. I know all about— Berman!” Hayes leaped to his feet. S3 St “CO you federals found out did k? you? I’m glad! Did I get double-crossed! Sit down and I’ll tell you all about it! I’ve made up my mind I wouldn’t be the goat any longer.” In a few hours J-8 had the whole story of Car No. 21. Stolen from Soshnick by a regular “lift” squad employed by the ring it was driven at once to the organization’s garage. There a coat of paint was quickly spread over it. The license plates were removed and dropped in the river. Expert mechanics

went to work on the identifying numerals. "They did a poor job on the generator,” said J-8. Hayes’ statement was a revelation. He told of a huge conspiracy, an organization that hired garage owners, mechanics, dealers, lawyers, doctors. Several pretty women were members. The most interesting fact, however, was that there was a man named Berman —and he was chief of them all! "Why did he tie himself up to that car?” J-8 asked. "It was just a pleasure trip,” said Hayes. St St St THERE were two things more to be done before the roundup. Agents closed in on the garage through which stolen cars were sold—as “factory seconds,” or cars intended for exportation only, and so salable cheap. The last step was to locate Berman. It was a woman who gave that tip. She called the bureau on the telephone and one afternoon, less than three weeks after he had entered the case, J-8 led several policemen and other agents to a house at Second avenue and Eighteenth street. Berman surrendered without resistance. "What’s this all about?” he demanded. J-8 told him. "By the way, you're supposed to be a master mind,” J-8 added. "Do you know what I’m going to do next” “No,” said Berman. “I’m going home and get supper,” said J-8 grimly. Berman and thirty-eight others in various parts of the country were arrested in simultaneous raids. Many Received heavy sentences, pleading guilty. Berman was sentenced to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta.

FEAR OF WAR OVERCASTS ALL SOVIETJEEDS Frantic Preparations for Meeting Threat Told in Stalin Speech. This is Euyen? Lyons’ fifth article in his series on new trends in the Soviet union. BY EUGENE LYONS I'nited Press Stiff Correspondent fConvrieht. 1933. bv United Press) MOSCOW. Feb. 13.—War; the fear of it and the frantic preparations to meet it, runs like a Vermillion streak throughout the speech made by Joseph Stalin recently. The unquestioned ruler of all the Russias has one answer to all questions and one justification for all shortcomings: War! Why was such an exacting tempo of construction adopted in the initial five-year plan, with consequent strain, shortage and suffering? This question has been insisted upon by the right opposition. It has been the motif of all the grumbling in a hard-pressed nation. Expresses War Fear "We did not know on which day,” answered Stalin, “the imperialists of the world would attack our country and halt our construction. "That they could have done so, taking advantage of our technical weakness, there was not the slightest doubt. "That is why the Communist party was obliged to whip up the | country, to lose no time, to use to j the very limit the breathing-space j and manage to create in the Soviet | Union the ramparts of industrializa- I tion.” Why was everything concentrated on heavy industry, while the population famished for the everyday goods of light industry? "Because,” Stalin emphasized, "we I would then have been unarmed against the capitalist encirclement, which is armed with modern technique. Cites Plight of China "Our situation would then have been more or less similar to that of present-day China, which does not possess its own heavy industry, which lacks its own military industry so that any one who cares to take the trouble can tear off a bit of its territory.” Why has the five-year plan not been completed 100 per cent by the end of 1932, as promised in the official slogans? This, the last and perhaps bitterest of plaints, followed the obvious non-fulfillment of the plan in the full measure hoped for. "True, we lack 6 per cent in the carrying out of the general program,” said Stalin. “But that is explained by the fact that neighboring countries have refused to sign a pact of non-aggression with us; and also on account 6f the complications in the far east we were obliged hurriedly to transfer a series of factories to strengthen our defense and produce modern weapons.” Worth While, Is Claim It was Stalin’s boast, however, that the sacrifices were worth while, since they have placed his nation in a position to hurl back any attack. The emphasis placed by the Kremlin's iron leader on the war danger past and present had a twofold objective, it seems. In the first place, it was meant to serve as a warning to Japan that Russia is ready to fight, and to conquer, should the necessity be forced upon it. In the second place, it was calculated as a blanket explanation and apology for the harsh political regime enforced here in the past few years, and now being made even harsher, even less compromising. RAID CAUSED BY WIFE Jobless Mate Getting Liquor She Says; Police Arrest Two. Information obtained from Mrs. Jesse Short, 605 South East street, that her unemployed husband had been obtaining liquor from Joe Sullender, who has rooms in the rear of 431 Virginia avenue, led to a raid at the place Saturday and the arrest of Sullender and Short. Charges of operating a blind tiger were placed against Sullender when police reported finding fortythree gallons of alcohol. Short was arrested on a charge of drunkenness when he entered the place during the raid. EAGLES TO BE GUESTS Auxiliary to Local Lodge Will Entertain on Feb. 21.

M'NUTT GIVEN ADDED POWER ON ROAD BOARD Highway Commission of One Member Possible, Under Changes in Bill. Indiana could have a highway commission of one member, under terms of the "ripper" bill which Governor Paul V. McNutt will receive for executive approval today, it has been learned. House amendments to the original bill struck out the mandatory provision’ that the commission con- | sist of three members, and provided ! that the Governor may" appoint a | commission of not more than three : members. Provision that not it ire than two j members of the commission should be of the same political party also J was stricken from ihe bill, leawng ; it discretionary with the Governor I to appoint whom he pleases, withj out reference to political affiliation. Cain Name Chairman McNutt likewise has the sole right to name the chairman of the commission, if he appoints more than 1 one member, who shall hold that I office "at the will of the Governor." Originally, the measure said that | the three commission members ! should select their own chairman, who should retain that office for one year. These house amendments, rushed by administration forces when they were referred to the senate for concurrence, also provided for the nonrigid. or black top. ripe of paving materials when bids were let. Debate Cut Off Another amendment gives the highway commission sole control over grade separations when a state highway crosses a steam or electric railroad inside of city and town limits, as well as in the country. In referring to grade separations, the original words, "within limits of cities and towns" were stricken from the measure. It was learned that several of these amendments were handed to Speaker Earl Crawford, who passed ■ them on to Representative Edward H. Stein iDem., Bloomfield), majority floor leader, for presentation. Debate on the house amendments when they reached the senate was cut off by parliamentary tactics.
