DILUNGER PAL TRAPPED IN SWAMP

PRESSURE PUT ON STATE EMPLOYES IN COUNTY VOTING ‘Wrong’ Political Activity May Bring Loss of Job, Greenlee Warns, Circulating ‘Approved’ Slate. ‘BEAT RAY FOR SHERIFF,’ IS CRY Sheriff, Prosecutor Races Hold Chief Interest of Administration; Spencer, Dean Both Given Support. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer. Statehouse employes have been “pressured'’ with suggestions that they may lose their jobs because of “wrong” political activity in several county primary Democratic races, it was learned today. On the heels of these warnings about severance from the pay roll came a slate circulated with the assurance that

it “conies from Pleas.” Pleas Greenlee is the administration patronage chief and executive secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt. Chief interest of the administration in the county campaign is reported to lie in the race for sheriff and prosecutor, with most, of the w---”ings being directed at statehouse workers’ activities in the former campaign. One state employe, credited with having several Negro precincts virtually in his hip pocket, was reported to have been told ‘ either quit working for Otto Ray for sheriff or you're through." The answer, it was reported, was that Mr. Greenlee could take his job. Quits, Regains Job Others, less able to b? independent. swallowed their medicine, bad taste end all. The rebel even went so far as to quit, but went back to work on the fdvice of a county Democratic leader. With the word passed about to “beat Ray." the Democratic county slate credited to the state administration lists both Will T. Brown and Claude E. Shover as being the only acceptable candidates in the list of seven. Brown is barked by William Clauer. county chairman and beer importer. Both Herbert Spencer and Russell Dean are given the "go sien" in the prosecutor race and George S. Dailey, the third candidate, is ignored. Dailey Visits Van Nuys Dailey is the son of Frank Dailey, who recently resigned from the safety board and who is making a determined campaign in his son s behalf. ’ The. elder Dailey Is reported to have made a trip to Washington to enlist the backing of Senator Frederick Van Nuys in having young Dailey slated by the county organization. The elder Dailey also is reported to be somewhat incensed at the fact that young Dailey got only two votes out of city hall in the recent Indianapolis Bar Association pool. The other city hail votes went to Spencer. who has the county organization backing. A full slate of eleven candidates for state representative are listed in the purported statehouse selections, with several incumbents being ignored. Those marked O K. are: Edward P. Barry, Dennis Colbert, the Rev. Morris H. Coers. Jack Hendricks. Charles Lutz. Mrs. Roberta West Nicholson. Joseph W. Patterson. Henr\ Richardson Jr.. Albert Sahm. Frank Schmoe and Carl E. Wood. Baker I* Left Off While Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker is unopposed for that bench, his name is not given the courtesy of inclusion in the list Judge Baker has not hesitated to criticise the administration sharply, particularly in regard to the administration beer importer setup. Slatings for other posts are: Sherman Minton. United States senator: Louis Ludlow. Twelfth district representative: Harry Hill, joint representative: John W. Kern, mayor: Joseph T. Mar key. superior court one: Joseph R. Williams, superior court two: William A. Pickens, superior court three: Herbert R. Wilson. superior court five; Smiley Chambers, probate court: John W. Geckler, juvende court: Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk: Charles Grossart, county auditor: John Mann and Ernest Marker, commissioners: Ira L. Haymaker, county recorder. No selections are made yet for superior court four, where the incumbent. Judge Clarence E. Weir, is opposed by Ernest F. Frick and Wesley C. Swails. For state senator, the name of Thomas A. Hendricks is slated tentatively with the cryptic notation “probably." Mr Hendricks is opposed by Joseph F. O Mahoney. Missing Woman Sought Police today were asked to look for Mr*. Mary Bell. 33. who disappeared from Indianapolis three years ago. Police were asked to make the search by Mrs. Edith Bell. 2138 Gent avenue, who siad that the missing woman' shusband, Joseph, was very ill.

PENAL SYSTEMS ARE OBSOLETE, LECLARES KANSAS PSYCHIATRIST

Obsolete penal systems were attacked by Dr. Karl A. Menninger, psychiatrist of Topeka, Kan., at a dinner last night of the Social Workers Club in the Spink-Arms. The penal system,” he declared, “is being operated under precepts which ere established nearly a century ago with little or no regard for modern scientific research.” He pointed out how by means of psychiatric examinations it would b? possible to a great extent to fit the punishment to the individual and no to what some legislature of a century ago prescribed. He said psychiatry would eliminate inefficiency in the industrial world. Two hundred members of the club heard the address. Miss Charlotte Lieber was chairman of the program.

KIDNAPED GIRL STILL MISSING; RANSOMREADY Anguished Family Awaits Orders After New Communication. TWO SUSPECTS FREED Mother of 6-Year-Old Child Is Reported Near Collapse. By United Press TUCSON, Ariz.. April 23. The anguished family of June Robles, 6-year-old kidnaper victim, reassured by anew communication from the abductors, awaited hopefully today specific instructions for the delivery of SIO,OOO in ransom. Authorities, having called off extensive searches for the kidnapers to give the family a clear path for negotiations, questioned two suspects arrested in Phoenix. They were owners of an automobile that resembled the one in which the child was carried away. A telephone call received at the home of Fernando Robles, June’s father, advised the family to “stand by" for further instructions. Lights burned brightly in the home all night. The father kept the vigil with the baby's grandfather. BcrI nabe Robles, wealthy retired cattleman. Both anticipated further | word from the abductors. The SIO,OOO ransom money dei manded, in denominations specified. awaited the kidnapers’ instructions. In contrast to the two previous all-night vigils, the wamily was unhampered by civilian posses patroling all roads and blocking all safe means of egress to the Robles home. The posses were withdrawn, imposing a state of tense stillness over the twon where earlier threats of i violence were voiced against the ab- ; ductors if and when they were cap!tured. Two guspeefs Freed Two suspects arrested at Phoenix, G. R. Graham, 35. and Jack Pattie, 48. were released today. They were taken into custody at a tourist, camp on information they owned a dark green sedan similar in appearance to one several motorists said they saw on the Tucson-Phoenix road with two men and a small girl several hours after the kidnaping. Qestioned separately, both denied knowledge of the abduction and their release was ordered early today when officers became convinced their car was not the one sought. The telephone call was received as the “zero hour” approached in I the twoo-day time limit set in the original ransom note for the girl's 1 family to deal with the kidnapers. The caller notified an unnamed member of the family to await further instructions as to where I he SIO,OOO ransom money should be de- ; posited. Expecting momentarily new developments, mmebers of the family awaited a second call. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gernando Robles, and the 76-year-old “cattle baron,’’ Bernabe Robles, sat on the front porch of their Franklin avenue home. Lights were kept burning brightly. Mrs. Robles was reported near collapse from her long vigil. Crowd Is Orderly i A state of suppressed excitement prevailed at the sheriff’s office. A crowd of 200. only a remnant of the hoarde of cowpunchers, Indians, legiannaires. and other civilian ; possemen who had been dispersed twelve hours before to celar the way for negotiations, thronged the corridors of the building. A complete silence fell over the group, broken only by the tingle of an occasional | telephone call from some resident seeking information. The situation was much more I orderly than twenty-four hours before. when rumor told of the for- | mation of “necktie parties’ ’to handle the kidnapers. Police Chief Gus Wollard. who engineered the capture of John Dillinger and three henchmen here three months ago. dropped in to say he had no new information. "It seems impossible t get any tangible clue.” he said. “The best information we have so far has been received from June's schoolmates.” Activity Shifts to Phoenix Activity of investigators centered northward toward Phoenix, chiefly ! in pursuit of the “green sedan” in which June was believed to have been driven to a hideaway, after being forced to enter a small black coupe near her school. The hunt was shifted purposely to permit the kidnapers or an emissary to open direct negotiations wit hthe family. A description of the “green sedan" j was furnished by four motorists, who reported seeing a girl and two men in vicinity of Phoenix. All were said to have “positively identified" pictures of June as that of the girl in the car. Convinced that the kidnapers' hideaway is some distance from Tucson, posses roamed a mountainous region 100 miles north of here in the direction of Phoenix. One band of searchers pentrated the Colossal cave, a large subterranean passage once used by bandits and “rustlers” as a cache for stolen loot. Cowboys and ranch hands, packing oldfashioned six-shooters, joined in the quest. Despite the many forays made by j these searching parties, their leaders had nothing to report when they communicated with the sheriff’s office here, _ *

CONCILIATORS ON WAY HERE Washington Officials Will Attempt to End City Silk Strike. Two conciliators, instructed to attempt to settle the hosiery workers' ! strike, today were reported to be preparing to leave Washington for Indianapolis. Compromise decision of the national labor board yesterday, which denied request of hosiery mill strikers foT minority recognition by the company, instead of being forced to deal with the company union, did not concern the strike. The decision was based on a request of the regional labor board i several months ago for a ruling on the election held last October in i which Real Silk mill employes voted for the company union and against representation by the Full-Fash-icned Hosiery Workers Federation. The national board held the election should have been for a period of one year from last October, and not for life of NRA. thus requiring anew election before next October. One of the two conciliators reported to be leaving for Indianapolis late today is a representative of the national board, and the other a representative of Miss Frances Perkins, labor secretary. Union officials, following (he decision. announced 1.200 union members had voted unanimously to con- ! tinue the strike until the union is j recognized by the Real Silk company and the company signs the national labor agreement. Company officials declared the ruling upholds their stand that the union employes must utilize services of the Employes' Mutual Benefit Association for collective bargaining purposes. William Smith. Philadelphia, general secretary of the hosiery workers’ federation, said a meeting of dyehouse workers' union was being held today to determine if this union would call a sympathetic strike. The striekrs will hold a dance at 8:30 tonight in the Antlers, he said. A number of hosiery workers from Ft. Wayne are expected to attend. Resolution upholding stand of the Real Silk mill officials in the strike situation was adopted yesterday by the Indianapolis Board of Trade governing committee. The resolution declared that “the Real Silk mill, one of the most successful industries and among the largest employers of labor in Indianapolis, for many years has maintained satisfactory relations with its (Turn to Page Four) INSULL ARRIVES MAY 7 Ship Carrying Magnate Makes Good Progress Toward Nek York.

Fred Hoke Asks Hoosiers to File Complaints With Him. Fred Hoke, state NRA compliance director, today asked every citizen to co-operate with his office in bringing about full compliance with the national recovery act in Indiana. “A few businesses, either through ignorance or greed, are failing to live up to NRA requirements,” said Mr. Hoke. "Many people know of conditions where employes are not receiving wages to which they are entitled, or are forced to work too long hours, but they do not notify us be- [ cause they do not know just how to go about it. Procedure is Listed “Therefore, we have listed the procedure to be followed in filing com- ; plaints of violations of either the labor or fair practice provisions of NRA codes. x “In the first place, anyone can file such complaints, which must be in writing. “The complaints must be signed, but names of signers will be kept I absolutely confidential unless the | complainant says in writing that his ! name may be used. “No special form is necessary in filing the complaint, but it is desirable that the apaproved forms be used. These ferms may be obtained from all first, second or third-class post offices, or from the office of the Indiana director of the national emergency council on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. Suits May Be Filed “All complaints should be sent to these same offices. They should not be submitted to local NRA compliance boards. “All complaints will be investigated by a field adjuster, who will attempt to have the condition corrected. If tljjs fails, the case will be referred to the department of justice or the federal trade commission for appropriate action, “In cases where wages paid have not been up to code requirements, if requested by the employe, we will endeavor to secure back wages. If we are unsuccessful, the employe has the right to sue in a local court. A number of such cases already have been decided in favor of employes. “We are not looking for opportunities to prosecute or persecute any one,” Mr. Hoke concluded, “but we arec harged with the responsibility of promoting compliance with NRA in Indiana and we will not shirk our duty.” KIDNAPER FLEES PRISON.
