Trial of William (Willie) Mason and Edward (Foggy) Dean, charged with inflicting physical injury during the commission of a robbery, stood adjourned today in Criminal Court until Tuesday morning. Two witnesses yesterday identified Mason and Dean as two of five gunmen who commandeer) 1 a taxicab at 17th-st and Carrollt .n-av a few minutes after a garage holdup in which Police Sergt Lester Jones was killed Feb. 7. 1933. Harold Butts, former taxicab mechanic, identified Mason, and Paul Luthmers, taxi foreman, said that Dean was the driver of the commandeered car. Tells of Threat by Bandits “If you squawk to police, we might be back later,” Butts quoted the gunmen as saying. Mason and Dean both smiled broadly when defense attorney Clyde P. Miller questioned Miss Alberta Akers, 19, former Negro maid in the Dean home, as to whether Dean wore a mustache a few days before the Peoples Motor Coach Cos. garage stickup. Dean now wears a mustache, and state’s witnesses have testified that all of the gunmen were smooth shaven. Didn't Notice Clothes In reply to Mr. Miller's accusation that police officers had visited jurors in a previous Dean trial, Special Judge William H. Remy ordered jurors to report any visits by interested persons. Butts testified that he was forced to lie in the bottom of the cab, and that Mason sat immediately above him on the scat. Three others, now serving life terms in the Indiana State Prison, also were in the rear seat Mr. Butts said.

Elmer lowa-Bound With Corn Crown as 80,000 Leave Attica With Hangover

BY JOHN VV. THOMPSON Times Staff Writer GRINNING from ear to ear. chunky, boyish-faced Elmer Carlson, 26-year-old lowan, headed for home today after winning the world's corn-husking championship here yesterday, when he jerked, skinned and tossed 41.52 bushels in the allotted 80 minutes of the contest. Mr. Carlson, single and goodlooking, is a friend of Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, but that isn’t why he won the contest yesterday. He worked harder than the rest of the boys. Leaping like a cat from stalk to stalk the husky young lowan was the most spectacular performer in the big show which attracted more than 80.000 people from nine states. The night before the contest, Elmer was late for dinner. When he got to the banquet given in honor of the huskers there wasn't much left to eat but corn. He ate

50 CARDS—SO HE CALLS COPS Broadminded About Losing S6O, but Short Deck Is Too Much. Harold Meek was broadminded about losing S6O in an all-night poker game until he counted the cards and found only 50. Then he became touchy about it. The player next to him counted them and found 51 and the man who ran thp game counted them and found 52. but Mr. Meek was not satisfied. He tyent to police at 5 this morning and asked them to raid the game, mentioning that a man who said he was a deputy sheriff, and who had a badge, was running it. Police lost no time getting to 921 | Massachusetts-av. There they found, they say, the O. L. D. Club, Inc., “for Knitters, Toppers and Barbers.” They went i into the basement and found 11 men, a deck of cards, a table, but no poker game and no money in ! view. They found that Ray Higdon, 1311 N. Olney-st, had a courtesy deputy sheriff’s badge with his name enj graved on it, and they arrested him on charges of keeping a gambling place. Estel E. Miller, secretary and treasurer of the club, is charged with keeping a gambling house and gaming. The other nine men arrested, who are charged with gaming and visiting a gambling house, gave their names as Harvey Flynn, 806 Park-av; Bay Burt, 1060 E. New York-st; Hugh Hughes, 628 E. Vermont-st; Charles Scott, 2935 School-st; George Smith, 2621 Jack-son-st; Prince King, 1059 Udell-st; Earl Purcell. 1029 W. 30th-st; Billy Boughten. 311 N. Hamilton-av; Emerson Smith, 614 N.

it. He almost ate it again yesterday. Last night he said he was going back home to Audubon. la., and shuck the rest of his own corn crop. He owns, with his father, some 360 acres of land, mostly planted in corn. Mr. Wallace, an ardent fan of the sport he helped inaugurate in 1924, sat atop the broadcasting booth, pulled at his forelock and rooted for Mr. Carlson and Mr. Hendricks from his favored state, lowa. In a brief press conference, Mr. Wallace, said he believed the AAA program should become an integral part of the nation's economic makeup, not as a rule of government but as an unwritten law. an A NATIONAL corn-husking* contest and only two horses on the field—was only one of the paradoxes at the gala rural gathering yesterday. And the two that were there didn’t take part in the contest. They were ridden by officials who kept the crowd back from the playing field, where rubber-tired tractors were pulling the contestants' wagons through the rows of Hoosier corn. Damage to Leslie Mitchell’s farm, where the contest was held, was great. Ground was tramped into a pavement-hardness. Fences were pushed over and the corn field became a playground for the milling thousands after the huskers had finished their battle. Lawrence Pitzer, who climbed over his back fence and walked over to the field yesterday for the contest, heightened Hoosier hopes for a national championship when he swept ahead of the field early in the fray and never was headed. He finished first, was the first to be weighed i* Mr. Pitzer, a native of Fountain County, won third prize of $25 in the national contest. Mr. Pitzer husked 38.8 bushels. When the huskers were introduced Thursday night at the banquet, Irwin Bauman, Woodford County, Illinois, was absent. It was announced that he was sick and might be unable to attend the competition. Well, he did get there and he was sick enough to win second prize, SSO, with a load of 39.6 bushels. WILLIAM ROSE, Illinois, with 38.12 bushels; E. H. Hendricks, Mr. Carlson's partner from lowa, with 37.5 bushels, and Ted Balko. colorful Minnesota husker and last year's national champion. with 36.84, were included in the group which broke the former national huskers’ record of 36.9

Hunters’ Haven a ana Families to Be Moved From Worthless Martin County Lands in Resettlement Program.

impoverished hills of Martin County soon are to become a haven A for the hunter and fisherman, through one of the largest rural rehabilitation projects in the United States. The plan for taking 30,000 acres out of sub-marginal production was outlined by James Pendry, of the Rural Resettlement Administration recently before the directors of state projects at their weekly luncheon

at the Washington. Work of taking families off the land which only gives them a bare existence is to start immediately, Mr. Pendry said. One thousand three hundred men will be employed in the land'‘clearing. He pointed out a two-fold purpose in the project: It not only will take inhabitants off relief but will solve the land-use problem. This land is hilly and badly eroded. Families live far apart and, in several instances, oneroom country schools have to be maintained for only two pupils. In all 12 schools are to be eliminated and the children transferred to consolidated buildings. Expense of this antiquated system of education was stressed by Mr. Pendry. He quoted figures to show that 85 per cent of the cost already was borne by the other 91 counties in Indiana. u a IN clearing the land, many roads are to be eliminated, and others are to be improved to make streams and forests accessible. Population figures for the county in the last 10 years show it has increased 500 per cent, due to unemployed persons moving from cities. Officials say the land is not fertile enough to maintain the added burden. Farms owned by these residents are being bought up at an average cost of $8.25 an acre, Mr. Pendry said. Os the 100 families to be moved, 25 will not receive enough to buy another place to live. They will be resettled on farms by the government where they can pay for them over a 45-year period. Sev-enty-five families will be able to

bushels, set by Carl Seiler, Illinois, in 1932. The sleepy little town of Attica suffered a hangover today after the most grueling and hectic night it ever had spent. Thursday night found the town literally stuffed with visitors and contestants. Bars were overflowing (not literally), hotels were turning down applicants for rooms and the restaurants had to go back to bacon and eggs to supply the demand. The remarkable way in which the vast crowd was handled was due to state police force and the local constabulary group, who routed cars, parked them and arranged for officials to get in and out in an efficient manner. Other contestants who placed in the first 10 and their records are: Paul Pokett, Nebraska, 35.24; Lawrence House, Kansas, 35.18; William Fields, Indiana, 34.48; Richard Anderson, South Dakota, 33.57.

RELIEF'S DOOM AHEAD, WARNS WPA OFFICERS Counties and Townships Must Have U. S. Aid, Marshall Avers. Many Indiana counties and townships will be wrecked financially unless there is a reduction in unemployment through industrial recovery or assistance from the Federal government through the Works Progress Administration. Tempering this warning with the statement that efforts now are being made to have 86,000 persons removed from Indiana relief rolls by Nov. 18. Charles B. Marshall, state WPA liaison officer described Federal assistance before the closing session of the Indiana State Conference of Social Work last night. “Townships in which a large percentage of the population is on relief and in which the assessed valuation is low. are going to have a difficult financing situation, even with WPA taking a large part of the load.” he said. "Counties which have reached their constitutional indebtedness limit are unable to avail themselves of deferred financing permitted under the statute authorizing the issuance of county poor relief bonds.” Officers elected at yesterday's closing session included Joseph A. Andrew, Lafayette (Ind.) representative. as president. He formerly was a member of the Board of State Charities and Correction. Elected with him are R. Clyde White and Allan Bloom, both of Indianapolis; James A. Dills, Winamac, and Mrs. Frederick Rose, Muncie, as vice presidents; Wayne Coy, WPA state director, as secretary, Miss Laura Greely, Indianapolis, assistant secretary, and Murray A. Auerbach, Indianapolis Tuberculosis Association secretary, treasurer. CITY'S YOUTH TO GET GO-TO-CHURCH PLEA Religious Leaders to Appeal for Attendance Drive.
