SPEEDY TRIAL PROMISED FOR PAL OF TOUHY State Asks Death Penalty for Basil Banghart in Factor Case. By United Pr< ss CHICAGO. March B—Attorneys for the state ana defense today speedd the trial of Basil Banghart. former member of the terrible Touhy gang, on charges of kidnaping John Factor, Chicago barber, who made a fortune in stock speculations in England. In contrast to deliberate maneuvers through which attorneys went in a previous trial of Roger Touhy, Gus Schaefer and Albert Kator on the same charges, Banghart's trial promised to set new speed records. A jury was selected yesterday in a closing rush after the first panel of four men required almost the whole day. The other eight men were added straightway. William Scott Stewart, defense counsel, made usual motions for change of venue and continuances and sought other delays without success. The motions in this case might have prevented Factor from testifying, since he is under mandate of extradition to England. His presence as a state witness at the present trial seemed assured when Franklyn R. Overmyer. attorney for the British crown, said that h" would not oppose a delay of the extradition to be asked at a hearing today to enable Factor to testify. Another important witness at Banghart's trial will be Isaac Costner, former Touhy gang member, who w-as arrested with Banghart and turned state’s evidence againsts Touhy, Schaefer and Kator. Although Wilbert Crowley, assistant state's attorney, prosecuted the first three Touhy gang members in a case leading only to ninety-nine-year penitentiary terms, he again seeks the d°ath penalty as punishment for the kidnaping.

Two things I wanted“...more strength and a clear skin.” It is well to remember that a probable reason why you do not have red lips, rosy cheeks, a clear skin, good health, energy and cheerfulness is that your blood is in a run-down condition. Lack of hemo-glo-bin. the red-coloring of the blood, may also cause a weakened condition of the body ... loss of strength ... poor appetite. Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or sickness, frequently break down and retard the natural development of the red-blood-cells and their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin. Why not set in motion the rebuilding of these precious blood-cells instead of procrastinating and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling of being well and fit? If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, try S.S.S. It is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic specially designed to stimulate gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood. Unless your case is exceptional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite... your color and skin should improve with increased strength and energy. S.S.S. is truly’ a blood and body tonic. Its value has been proven by generations of use. as veil aa by modern scientific appraisal. oo will find S.S.S. at all drug stores in two •ises... the larger is more economical. © Tk* *. jj.c*.

COSTIGAN WILL FORCE DATA ON HIGH_SALARIES Prepares Act Giving Trade Board Right to Seek Pay Information. By United Press WASHINGTON, March B.—Corporations which have refused to reveal the salaries paid their executives would be forced to divulge this information under a course of action mapped out today by Senator Edward P. Costigan (Dem., Colo.). Senator Cotsigan is the author of resolutions under which high salaries paid executives of corporations, public utilities and banks have been revealed during the present session of congress. The report on corporation salaries, made public last week, did not contain the requested information from General Motors, General Aviation, American Can and Studebaker Corporation. The federal trade commission said these four corporations had replied to its request with “a general denial of the commission’s powers.” Senator Costigan said he was preparing an amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill w-hich w-ould authorize expenditure of enough money to enable the commission, confident of its legal powers, to obtain the salary information. Mr. Costigan holds that public know-ledge of high salaries paid executives in private industry is highly desirable because, he believes, it emphasizes the need of income and inheritance taxes. “When the public knows what these men receive.” he said, “it becomes apparent that they are amply able to pay income taxes. To my mind it shows the advantage of income taxes over sales taxes,
