20 Officers Guard Cell of Kidnaper

Harvey Bailey Harvey Bailey Back in Jail After Daring Escape at Dallas. By United Prrgg OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 5. Twenty guards were placed around the cell of Harvey Bailey, notorious killer, kidnaper and bandit, today, as authorities anticipated the chance of a desperate underworld attempt to liberate the man who accomplished the seemingly impossible and escaped from the Dallas (Tex.) county jail Monday. Bailey had only a few hours of liberty, but authorities were given a clear intimation of the cleverness and resourcefulness of their prisoner. While he was being captured at Ardmore, police fought a carload of underworld machine gunners at Enid, 150 miles north. The gunmen escaped. They were believed friends of Bailey, heading south to meet him. Authorities opened a vigorous investigation of how he obtained the pistol with which he forced his way out of the supposedly escape-proof Dallas jail, where he was guarded heavily. Bailey is to be tried here Sept. 18 for the kidnaping of Charles Urschel, oil millionaire, provided it is not decided to try him in Kansas City for the Union Station massacre, where he would be subject to the death penalty. He has been identified as one of the bandits who escaped with $2,000.000 in the nation’s greatest bank robbery at Lincoln, Neb. He was questioned in the 1929 St. Valentine’s day massacre is Chicago, once was investigated in connection with the Linbergh kidnaping, and last. Decoration day led ten convicts in an escape from the Kansas state! penitentiary at Lansing, where he was serving a bank robbery sentence. Bars Sawed Out Brandishing an old revolver which he said he •‘found" in his mattress,’ Bailey forced his way out of the Dallas jail at breakfast time Monday. He locked three attendants in cells and kidnaped Nick Tresp, a deputy jailer. In preparation for his dash, Bailey sawed out the bars between his cell and an empty one adjoining. To reach the street, he descended five flights in an elevator, overpowered Tresp. and forced him to lead the way to his auto. His was the fourth escape from the towering nineteen-year-old jail. Sheriff Smoot Schmid returned by airplane to Dallas today from Chicago to investigate the source of the guns and saw blades. He said special federal guards placed over Bailey following his capture at Paradise. Tex., last month had been discontinued as a result of the change in administration at the United States marshal’s office last week. Bailey forced Tresp to accompany him in Tresp's automobile. Scores of automobiles anti half a dozen airplanes were ordered in pursuit. Flees to Oklahoma Speeding northward. Bailey and his hostage reached Oklahoma without detection. Gainesville (Tex.) officers heard they were in Hoxboro, Okla.. and notified Ardmore officers. farther north. Chief Hale Dunn of Ardmore and officers Bennett Wallace and Raymond Shoemaker sped south and encountered Bailey and Tresp at a filling station Bailey started the car and raced into Ardmore, the police in hot pursuit. He zigzagged around business blocks. Near the city limits, the officers fired several shots, aimed high for fear of wounding Tresp. A few minutes later they overtook the machine and forced It to the curb. Bailey surrendered without resistance. FOUR HOMES ROBBED Burglars Get Sl5O Loot; Five Packs of Fags Yieid in One Theft.

JOHNSON PLANS FURTHER SLASH IN WORKHOURS Intensified Drive Will Be Made to Assure More Jobs by Winter. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—General Hugh S. Johnson. NRA administrator, is contemplating a possible further reduction of work hours in American industry to absorb unemployment before winter begins. He plans to conduct a census between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15 of employment gains If this does not show that 6,000,000 persons have gone" back to work, another shortening of the work week will be attempted. Johnson and President William Green of the American Federation of Labor agree on 2,000,000 as the number of jobs that have been provided. This is a big gain, but still leaves some 11,000,000 without work, according to federation figures. Green has insisted upon a thirtyhour week throughout industry, repeating his plea at every code hearing. He has become, if anything, more insistent on this in the last few days and stressed it in his Labor day speech. The blanket code originally provided a thirty-five-hour week for labor and forty hours for the “white collar” worker, but this has been modified by the substitutions permitted so that the general average now is forty or perhaps a little above. The permanent codes approved thus far permit a spread from forty to forty-eight, and, in some cases, fifty-two hours, with* few exceptions. The re-employment drive has been retarded by "chiseling” under the President's j-e-employment agreements. Reports here show all sorts of devices which are used, staggering of workers and the like, to avoid hiring more people. Johnson struck vigorously at these chiselers in his militant Labor day speech. He threatened withdrawal of the Blue Eagle, and hinted at other penalties provided by the law. He is expected to bring down his hand very strongly after the two-week checkup of violations that he announced at Chicago, which will begin at once. He is fixing a six-week test period before he shortens work hours further, to give industry opportunity to make good. But he is determined that the country shall not go into another winter with a staggering burden of unemployment, if he can prevent it. Absorption of 6,0000.000 unemployed still would leave 7.000.000, which is above the peak of the 192122 depression. OXNAM PRAISES NRA AT LABOR DAY FETE 15,000 Hear De Pauw Head at Princeton Celebration. By United Pregg PRINCETON, Ind., Sept. s.—Fifteen thousand persons jammed Lafayette park here Monday for the annual celebration of the Southwestern Indiana Labor Day Association.

Other speakers included C. S. Masterson of the Indiana Farm Bureau, Representative Arthur H. Greenwood of the Seventh congressional district, and Mayor O. T. Brazleton. A parade several miles long preceded the speaking program. CREDITS COURSE SET New Class to Be offered at I. U. Extension Center.

FERTILIZER ESTIMATED FOR WHEAT ACREAGE Purdue Suggests 200-Pound Figure for Contract Signers. By Times Special j LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. s.—ln- | diana wheat growers who sign the United States government contract to reduce their acreage 15 per cent this fall will not use more than 200 pounds of fertilizer an acre and | containing not more than 20 per j cent available plant food, if they follow the recommendations of Purdue university. A message received from the wheat control administration urged that fertilizer should not be used in excess of the normal fertilizer application, thereby preventing the use of large amounts of fertilizer and increasing production to such an extent that it would defeat the purpose of the act. The Purdue authorities point out that 200 pounds is about the average amount used in this state and in line with good principles of farm management, and that this is the proper amount to be applied this fall.
