BURGLAR SLAIN BY MERCHANT COP

STRIKE FLARES AT GIANT PLANTS OF ALUMINUM CO. OF AMERICA

Strong Line of Pickets Force Cessation of All Work in Shops. RECOGNITION IS ISSUE No Disorder Is Reported in District; Walkout Given Green's 0. K. By I nilr4 i'rt •* NEW KENSINGTON, Pa., Aujr. 11.—The huge Aluminum Company of America plants in this district were choked into idleness today by a strong line of union pickets. Grim-faccd strikers, clad in raincoats, stood in a drizzling ram and quietly discouraged any half-hearted workers who appeared. Aluminum company officials frankly admitted that all work had ceased, and that no laborers or office employes had braved the wrath of pickets to begin the morning shifts. Walter Haney, a foreman, announced last night that he was planning lo enter the plant. He was under a physician s care today. Although company officials said they had no immediate plans’’ for bringing men into the plant, they would not say definitely that strikebreakers would not be called. It was indicated, however, that such action would be •’unlikely.” There were no disorders today at the time for the morning shift to begin work Such employes as might have wished to work kept discreetly away from the gates as they saw the apparent union strength. William Green. A. F. of L. president, sponsored the strike when he was told that individual lodges of the National Council of Aluminum Workers were getting out of hand. To prevent sporadic strikes, Mr. Green telegraphed permission to all the lodges to begin the strike at midnight. Employes have been at odds with the Meilon-dominated aluminum trust for some time. The present strike, asking for union recognition was the second in this district in the last few months. The union gained prestige here bv the previous strike last spring which, after a walkout lasting less than two weeks, produced a general 11 per cent wage increase. The present minimum wage is about 35 cents an hour. 33 BUTLER SUMMER STUDENTS GET DEGREES Presentation Made at Ceremony on Fairview Campus. Thirty-three candidates, members of the 1934 Butler university summer session, were awarded degrees yesterday at commencement ceremonies in Arthur Jordan Memorial hall on the Fairview campus.

SLOT MACHINE PROBE FALLS TO MORRISSEY Prosecutor Awaits Report on Police Chief's Investigation. Investigation of the manifold ramifications of the slot machine racket in Indianapolis today rested entirely in the hands of Police Chief Mike Morrissey, who consistently has scoffed publicly at the idea that a dangerous situation existed. “The thing is in Morrissey’s hands,” County Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson declared when asked whether he would question a Louisville “rowdy” held at police headquarters as one of a trio which has been “hijacking” the illegal gambling devices from private clubs in this city. Mr. Wilson made it plain, however. that he and Chief Morrissey were working together and said he intended to confer at length with Chief Morrissey in the near future. He said that he would determine at that conference whether he personally would question the Louisville man. 56 Machines Put In The significance of the latter’s arrest lies in the fact that, as The Times first revealed in an exclusive articie earlier this week, Louisville interests have put at least fifty-six slot machines into Indianapoils and its vicinity within the last few weeks in competition with local underworld, interests. While police officially scoff at the possibility of gang warfare as a result of this competition, well-in-formed officers fear such warfare, with its attendant gunfire, as a distinct possibility. “The first thing to do, of course, is to find out the identity of the men back of these Louisville machines,” Mr. Wilson declared. “That is what Chief Morrissey is working on now, I believe.” "Rowdy” Identified * The Louisville “rowdy” was arrested several days ago on another charge and was identified Thursday by the aged watchman of a “hijacked" club. The watchman told a Times, informant he recognized the “rowdy” j at once as the man who threat- i ened him with a gun when he tried to stop the “hijacking.” First admission from the police that they consider the situation serious came late yesterday afternoon when Detective Chief Fred Simon expressed distinct annoyance that The Times had learned of and published the Louisville mans arrest and identification. Second Gang Active “Were trying to clean this situa- I tion up.” he said, adding that he I objected to the “advertising.” The tenseness of the situation was increased by an apparently well authenticated report that a second three-man gang is in the field with counter-"hijacking" activities. Meanwhile, the “heat” remained "on” in the county with slot j machines in hiding there. It was j expected, however, that they would I begin to come out this afternoon for the week-end trade.

DEFYING SNAKE BITE PASTOR PREPARES TO PREACH TOMORROW

B’J United [’rex* SYLVA. N. C., Aug. 11.—Albert Teester, holiness preacher who was near death during the night from rattlesnake bite, today proclaimed from his bed in a little mountain cabin that he will preach again tomorrow. His condition this morning was reported improved as he courageously fought for life, still declaring “I will get well, for the faithful are immune to death.” A mountain rattler bit him in his pulpit last Sunday night as he sought to show the congregation the snake would not attack a “disciple of God.” $1.045 LOOTOF BRIDGE BANDIT Jewelry and Cash Taken by Holdup Man at Indian Lake Party. Indianapolis police and Marion county deputies today were hunting for a limping, nervous. 35-year-old thief who yesterday afternoon obtained SI,OOO in jewelry and $45 cash in a bridge party holdup at fashionable Indian lake. The bandit's victims all were women, playing in the summer home of Mrs. Max Bardach, 5624 Washington boulevard. They were threatened with a revolver and were frightened when, accidentally, the gun was discharged toward the floor. The bandit apologized for his clumsiness. He had appeared first while luncheon was being served and had asked whether the Bardach cottage was for rent. A companion remained in an auto at the cottage gate. The two appeared next during the bridge game, one staying in the car as before. A guest, who thought the bandit a prankster, made some remark about Dillinger. She was silenced with a threat. Those robbed were Mrs. Maurice J. Moore, 1939 North Alabama street; Mrs Bansford Clark, 5108 Broadway; Mrs. Joel Whitaker, 1707 North Pennsylvania street; Mrs. Jessie Serft, 1433 North Pennsylvania street; Mrs. G. S.

FEDERAL BLDG. GRANT PRAISED BY OFFICIALS North Wing Construction Assured After Years of Waiting. Local federal officials today expressed their elation over announcement of the $1,300,000 grant for the construction of a north wing to the Federal building here. Because of the overcrowded condition of the building, local officials and civic leaders for several years have attempted to obtain the appropriation for the project. Much credit for obtaining the apropriation from the .treasury department yesterday for the local improvement was given to Representative Louis Ludlow. Asa member of the appropriations committee, Mr. Ludlow ''was instrumental in having congress, at the last session, restore the postoffice building program to the postal and treasury departments. Although William C. McGuire, local architect, was engaged more than two years ago to make plans for the addition, his work was temporarily halted when Harold F. Ickes, interior secretary, declined to allocate money for the project. Mr. McGuire will be able to complete plans and specifications for the addition within three months, it was learned from Washington. The north wing to the federal building will be in harmony with the present building, erected thirty years ago. The wing will be constructed with Indiana limestone and will provide employment in the Indiana quarries as well as for local men who will work on the building. Construction of the unit will relieve much of the present existing congestion in the federal building, Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker pointed out. Besides, the new structure will house many federal agencies which now have quarters outside the federal building. Efforts to obtain the new wing have been prompted by local civic organizations, including the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, for several years. When Postmaster-General James A. Farley was in Indianapolis recently. a committee was appointed to call on him, urging the appropriation of money for the wing. Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 71 8 a. m 71 7 a. m 72 9 a. m 70

RAIN CHEERS DROUGHT AREA But Relief Is Only Temporary, Forecasters Warn Whole Midwest Zone. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Rain over eight midwestern states with sharply lowered temperatures in its wake, brought surcease today from a heat wave and drought which have killed hundreds of persons and have cost more than $M)0,000,000 in damaged crops in the last week. Substantial rains fell in Ohio, Indiana, southern Michigan, Illinois, southern Wisconsin, southern lowa, northern Missouri, eastern Kansas and central Nebraska. In Kansas City, center of a caldron of heat yesterday, the temperature dropped from a 110-degree maximum to 83 degrees at 2 a. m. In Chicago, where the rains fell early, the mercury dropped to 72. The weather bureau predicted unsettled conditions throughout the day, with possibly more rain tonight. To residents of a hundred steaming cities, where sleep has been possible only with the aid of wet sheets and damp garments, or with an electric fan blowing over a cake of ice in a “pan, the change was a blessing. Forecaster W. P. Day of the Chicago weather bureau offered little hope that relief from the heat would be more than temporary.

Full Extent of Crop Disaster Revealed in U. S. Report; Prices to Be Higher

By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. ll.—The New Deal's farm program hung in the balance today in the face of the worst crop disaster the nation ever had seen. The cold statistics c f the official government crop report today left none in doubt of the crisis in agriculture. Fears were voiced that the forces set in motion by nature would jeopardize the whole elaborate machinery created by the AAA. Aroused at the threat. Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace rallied his forces to a defense of the experiments in planned agriculture. He emphasized the necessity of maintaining control in order that the balance might not be shifted just as suddenly back to the tragedy of overabundance and low prices. He was equally concerned over the dangers of profiteering and high prices resulting fro mthe widespread shortages of almost every food product. Official production estimates based on Aug. 1 conditions wrote the epitaph for this year's crops. If any hope had been held out for corn, wheat, hay and oats, it was abandoned yesterday. The principle of acreage limita-

By United Press ASBURY PARK. N. J., Aug. 11.—Two of America's outstanding bridge experts, P. Hal Sims and Oswald Jacoby settled a dispute in a fist fight early today. Four hundred persons participating in and watching the masters' pair event of the American Bridge League summer tournament were spectators. The encounter was short-lived but threatened to disrupt play for the Waldemar Von Zedtwitz gold cup which Mr. Sims and Mr. Von Sedtwitz won in 1930. Mr. Sims was eliminated from the Asbury Park trophy event yesterday afternoon by the BurnstineJacoby team. Acording to witnesses, the argument started when Mr. Sims approached David Burnstine and Mr. Jacoby and told them their laughter disturbed other players. Then, bystanders said, Mr. Sims related a story involving Mr. Jacoby. The later was incensed and termed the story a falsehood. Mr. Sims then became offended. There were sharp words. Then, according to those close by, Mr. Sims struck Mr. Jacoby in the face and held his arms. William E. McKenney, league secretary, separated the combatants. Mr. Jacoby was still furious. He shouted he would withdraw from the tournament. But Mr. Burnstine calmed him and prevailed upon him to continue. While playing out the round with Miss Helen Bonwit of New York and A. E. Stein, Mr. Jacoby thought it over and got angry all over again. He said with finality that he was through for the rest of the tournament. But he was urged not to be hasty and the matter was placed before an executive committee meeting which was still in progress two hours later. Mr. Sims, meanwhile, appeared to have regained his equilibrium. He and his partner, Mr. VonZedtwitz, resumed play in the pair event, and he frequently joked with Mrs. Ely Culbertson who sat nearby watching.

ASTRONOMERS VIEW HEAVENLY ‘SPARKS’ OF ANCIENT MARTYR

By United Press HARVARD, Mass., Aug. 10.— The sparks from St. Lawrence’s gridiron flared across the heavens during the night in increasing showers, to the delight of astronomers. The brilliant pin-points of light, counted carefully by astronomers the world over, were the Perseids, annually recurring swarm of meteors, which reach their maximum intensity ordinarily on the night of Aug. 10. That is the anniversary of St. Lawrence’s death. He was burned on a gridiron in 258 A. D. The Persieds, which derive their name from the fact that they come from a radiant in the constellation Perseus, are to continue their shower intermittently for about three w T eeks ‘RASPUTIN’ LIBEL CASE SETTLED, IS REPORT Newspaper Asserts Princess Collected $762,000. By United Press LONDON. Aug. 11.—The Daily Herald said today that the Princess Youssoupoff had received 150,000 pounds sterling ($762,000) from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, in payment of all claims for libel. The princess, who claimed her reputation was damaged by the picturization of the character “Natasha” in the film “Rasputin and the Empress,” won her damage suit in the British courts.

tion, it was admitted, probably will be held largely in abeyance for another year at least. None would predict specific changes in the control programs, but it was conceded they would be “material” ones. Food prices, Mr. Wallace said, “necessarily will be materially higher,” though the farmers won't get the share of the consumer’s dollar which the AAA considers proper and the government will be confronted with resulting “drought profiteers.” To combat the first danger the AAA plans to maintain its contractual relationship with producers so that it may order reductions if bumper yields are indicated and may resume restrictions in 1936. “It seems to me,” said Wallace, “that in order to avoid getting very seriously out of balance in 1935, it is necessary to maintain some form of control.” The crop report showed that most com has been scorched beyond recovery. The 92.526,000 acres planted to it will yield only 1.607,108.000 bushels, the least since 1894. Crop reporters revised their July 1 wheat estimate upward to 490.960.000 bushels because of increased yields in eastern states. It was shown that drought ravages reduced crop prospects 11 per

EDITORS EYE KIRKMUEY Attendance at Session Provides Topic of Conversation. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer. FRENCH LICK, Ind., Aug. 11.— Unexpected presence here at the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association outing of E. Kirk McKinney, chief lieutenant of Senator Frederick Van Nuys. provided political observers with their chief source of speculation. The attendance of Mr. McKinney at one of these affairs is very unusual and his arrival did not go unnoticed. There are two explanations of Mr. McKinney's presence. One is that he feels it incumbent upon himself to be here because his political sponsor, Senator Van Nuys, is so ill at a northern Michigan lake that he can not attend. Consequently, the Van Nuys interests should be looked after by someone, and Mr. McKinney is the logical candidate. The other explanation is that Mr. McKinney is promoting his own hopes of being the Democratic nominee for Governor in 1936. Since he is Indiana manager of the Home Owners Loan Corporation and appointed to that federal post by Senator Van Nuys, Mr. McKinney is in a position to build a powerful organization. Mr. Van Nuys’ political prestige suffered considerable damage in the recent Democratic state convention. Senator Van Nuys and inclusively, Mr. McKinney, wanted Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan of Indianapolis for the United States senate nominee. Sherman Minton, Governor Paul V. McNutt’s entry won. The Van Nuys faction spokesmen say the reason the senator took such a beating on Mayor Sullivan is that no attempt was made to build a Van Nuys machine. Many observers think the building process is under way with Mr. McKinney’s attendance.

POLICEMAN IS WOUNDED IN GUN BATTLE Thief Is Shot Down in Affray at Pharmacy on South Side. OFFICER SHOT IN CHEST Injury Is Critical, Say Hospital Attaches After Examination. A burglar, believed to be Owen Hawkins, was shot and killed and a merchant policeman was wounded critically in a. gun battle early today in the Michel pharmacy, 2202 Shelby street. The merchant policeman, Albert W. Pratt. 33, of 1830 Shelby street, noticed the broken glass in the door where the burglar had gained entrance and went in after him, a revolver ready for action. As he stepped through the broken g iss, he saw the man believed to Lave been Hawkins, behind the cigar counter. Policeman Pratt ordered the burglar to come out. “Don't shoot,” the burglar called, starting out. Fires One Shot As he rmerged from behind the case, he fired one shot from a .45caliber revolver. This struck Pratt in the chest. Pratt then fired six shots from his .38-caliber revolver. One went wild, but five found their mark in the burglar's body. Police sent both men to the hospital, where the burglar died shortly before 4 a. m., an hour and threequarters after the shooting. Mr, Pratt's condition caused alarm when he was admitted. His wife. Mrs. Jeanette May Pratt, did not learn of the shooting, however. until she was told this morning by a Times reporter. “Albert is just the man for the job of merchant policeman,” she declared proudly. “He is not afraid of any burglar and I always have been afraid he would get killed trying to capture one.” Former Auto Mechanic Mr. Pratt, who has been married six years, formerly was an auto mechanic. Mrs. Owen Hawkins, 1520 Wade street, told police today that she had been informed that her husband had been shot and killed at Raymond and Shelby street, the site of the store. She was to attempt to identify the body later in the day. The burglar and two men who are believed to have been with him are thought by police to have been the men who broke into the Cave, a drinking resort next to the drug store, 2204 Shelby street. The method of gaining entrance there was similar to that used at the Michel pharmacy. No money was obtained at the Cave, but the robbers took a liberal supply of cigars and cigarets.
