HUNT MAN, GIRL AFTER SLAYING OF POLICEMAN State Police Join Anderson Authorities in Hunt for Gunman and ‘Moll.’ YOUTH ADDS MYSTERY Appears at Crime Scene and Asks Questions of ‘Witnesses.’ Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 25 State police joined Anderson authorities here this afternoon in a search for the brutal slayer of Patrolman Frank (Pete) Levy, father of 10 children. The officer was slain early today by a Riinman who, with a woman, fled after shooting the officer four times from an automobile in which the duo was seated. Capt. Matt Leach of the State Police announced every available state officer will aid in the search. Patrolman Levy, who was making an auto tour of the area alone, got out of his car and walked toward the car of the gunman, at 10th and John-sts, which neighbors said had been parked there for two hours. He did not draw' his gun. Police have no witnesses to the shooting, but Blythe Johnson, who lives near the scene, called police at 12:10 a. m. and told them of hearing the shots and hearing the gunman's car drive aw'ay. Shot Four Times Assistant Chief Alvin Shinkle and Detective Jack Ryan responded and found Patrolman Levy lying on the street beside his car. Four .45-caliber bullets had pierced his body, one of them his heart. Earl Eppley, another neighbor, told police the car containing the man and girl had been parked there since 10 p. m. Apart from knowing the passengers were a man and girl, he could not describe them. Chief Joseph Carney, who took charge of the investigation, called all surrounding towns and cities and warned them to be on the lookout for the pair. Report Mystery Man T t came to the attention of police that shortly after the shooting a young man drove a car to the scene of the crime and questioned persons there about what had happened. Citizens he talked to took the license number of the car and it w'as found to have been issued to a Brazil (Ind.) man for a truck. Since he drove a pleasure car Chief Carney believes it is possible that the plates w'ere stolen. Although there are several theories as to the probable identity of the criminal, police are united in believing the gunman probably is wanted for a serious offense and was too desperate to take a chance on arrest. They point out that Patrolman Levy's investigation w'as routine and that he had not even draw'n his gun. The gun was in the holster when the body was found. Think Couple in Hiding Some of the police believe the couple did not leave the city at all after the crime, but are in hiding here. Others believe they were out of the city criminals and left as soon as t.he shooting. Chief Carney says they have a few slender clews, but said he expects no arrest soon. It was reported later at the Statehouse in Indianapolis that the number was issued for a car ow'ned by an Anderson woman. Police immediately began a check of this car.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey

JUDGE LINDSEY IS REINSTATED Exponent of Companionate Marriage Cleared by Colorado Court. Ry T'nited Press DENVER, Colo., Nov. 25.—Judge Ben B. Lindsey, exponent of companionate marriage, who was disbarred in Colorado in 1929, today was reinstated by the State Supreme Court, which ordered his name restored to the roll of accredited attorneys. Judge Lindsey had been denied reinstatement on June 5, 1933, when he filed a motion with the Supreme Court, and today’s action came on the court's own- motion. The action was taken by the court en banc, with only one member, Justice John Campbell, dissenting. There was no formal opinion. ITALY WARNS U, S. OVER OIL EMBARGO Would Be Unfriendly and ‘Hostile’ Act. BULLETIN Ry I nitrd Press ROME, Nov. 25.—An unconfirmed dispatch from Makale said today that Ras Siyoum, Ethiopian commander-in-chief of the north, was dead. Ry T'nitcd Press ROME, Nov. 25.—An Italian government spokesman said today that if the United States should declare an oil embargo against Italy it would be considered not only an unfriendly but a 'hostile" set and would necessitate the adoption of Italian counter measures. The attitude of the United States has become a vital matter to Italy. If the United States should refuse the raw materials Italy must have for her war, then difficulties would be increased many times. Italy Protests to U. S. Ry t x itnl Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. The Italian government, it was learned today, has protested, in effect, against United States’ efforts to halt shipments of ordinary commercial articles to Italy during the ItaloEthiopian controversy. Although officials asserted that no formal protest had been lodged with the State Department here, Ambassador Augusto Rosso was understood to have discussed the matter with Secretary of State Cordell Hull at a conference last Friday. Italy, it was said, believes that attempts by the Roosevelt Administration to choke off exports of oil. copper, cotton and other commercial articles did not constitute "orthodox’’ neutrality.

ELLSWORTH MISSING IN ANTARCTIC HOP Explorer’s Radio Yesterday Last Message. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 25.—Lincoln Ellsworth. Arctic explorer, and his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, have been missing since 10:48 a. m. yesterday on a flight from Dundee Island and the Antarctic to the Ross Sea, the New York Times said today. A dispatch from Ellsworth's base ship, the Wyatt Earp. said the strange silence of the plane's radio did not mean serious trouble, but called for immediate establishment of depots if nothing was heard from them. Ellsworth and Hollick-Kenyon took off Saturday in their plane, the Polar Star, for the 2140-mile flight over the Antarctic continental mass. Periodic radio messages informed the base ship that all was well until yesterday when Ellsworth said, "Still clear, no wind." Then the radio went silent.

SECURITY PLAN DOOMED, SAYS FRATERNAL AID National Congress President Tells Delegates Social Idea ‘Won’t Work.’ OPEN ANNUAL SESSION Attorney General Lutz and Other Notables Attend Important Parley. (Photos on Page 3) Social security legislation, both proposed and enacted, occupied attention of delegates of the thirtyseventh annual session of the Indiana Fraternal Congress today in two-day session in the Lincoln. Peter F. Gilroy, Denver, National Fraternal Congress of America president, who also is Woodmen of the World president, summed up the attitude of fraternal benefit societies toward social security legislation by asserting it won't work. Would Involve Billions He pointed out that any attempt on the part of the Federal and state governments to establish annuities for citizens of the country would involve billions of dollars and he said that while we talk glibly of billions these days we do not collect billions easily. Mr. Gilroy, who welcomed the state convention in the name of the national organization, pointed out that social security plans involve the employer financially, not the "mploye. He said insurance companies found the veterans’ insurance plan evolved during the World War had little or no effect on private insurance business, but that, nevertheless, the fraternals are opposed to further Federal encroachment in the field. Notables Among Speakers Mrs. May Beaver, state president, took charge of the meeting and Mayor Kern delivered the address of welcome. Others in state public life who spoke were Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend and Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz. Mr. Lutz told delegates recent improvements in insurance laws had been a distinct benefit to fratei’nals and old line companies alike.

Times Special LINTON, Ind., Nov. 25.—Green County authorities continued today a search for unidentified persons who early yesterday murdered and robbed Ves Gill, retired mine superintendent. Although they say they have only slender clews, they have, in the last 12 hours, gathered much information about the activities of the 74-year-old victim.

At 3 Sunday morning Mr. Gill left a restaurant and never was seen alive again. His body was found in a culvert lying face down, feet extending out the opening. There was a wound on the back of his head which the coroner says was fatal, and there were scratches and bruises on his face. There was no money in his pockets, and no papers. The body was about 14 blocks from his home, where he lived alone. The body was found by a group of boys. He was the father of Andy Gill, former Indiana University football star and now coach at Michigan City High School. Another son also survives.

BULLETIN Ry United Press TIENTSIN, Nov. 25.—Martial law was to be declared in the native city of Tientsin late tonight, Ry United Press SHANGHAI, Nov. 25.—Serious clashes between Japanese and Chinese troops appeared certain today if the government sends additional trops into Hopei province to suppress autonomists. The foreign office statement issued at Nanking to the effect the government would not tolerate the new autonomous government in the demilitarized zone, added that counter measures were contemplated. It was not explained, however, whether they would be of a military character.

LEWIS ACCUSES FEDERATION AS DOG IN MANGER United Mine Workers’ Head Launches Hot Attack at Press Parley. By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.—John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, today accused the American Federation of Labor of adopting "dog-in-the-manger" tactics toward organization of workers in mass production industries.

Lewis made a bitter, caustic attack on the A. F. of L. at a press conference called to explain the cryptic note in which he resigned Saturday as vice president of the federation. "I resigned because of irreconcilable differences between myself and the executive council on the question of organizing the mass

industries,’’ he said. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, commenting upon the rift between Lewis and Green, said she considered the efforts of Lewis toward industrial unionism “highly significant” and "one of the most important developments” in recent labor organization history. She declined to give the Labor Department's official attitude. The bulky, bushy-haired Lewis, generally recognizeed as the most powerful individual in organized labor today, grinned as he was questioned about a so-called "rebuke" by federation officials shortly before he resigned. "There isn’t any one on the council with the necessary attributes to rebuke me,” he said. “And, I don’t see what purpose it would serve.” Lewis made it plain that, for the present, he intends to keep his 400,000 members within the federation and at the same time conduct an active campaign to organize the mass production workers into industrial unions, as opposed by the federation craft union system. "I feel the federation thus far has failed in organizing employes in these industries into traditional craft unions,” he declared. FUGITIVE? FOWLER JUST COURT 'FAN' Alleged Gangster Spectator, Declares Witness. Kenneth Fowler, fugitive and alleged gangster, sought by police, was a spectator Friday at the Criminal Court trial of Ernest Tait, James Flaherty and Donald Nye.

The charge was made when Deputy Prosecutor Edward Brennan, questioning the suspect in regard to his alleged confession, asked him when he had last seen Fowler who had been mentioned in the alleged confession introduced by the state last week. "When was the last time you saw Fowler?” Brennan asked. "I saw him last Friday in this courtroom,” Tait answered. "Maybe he's here now," he added.

FINAL HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

Ruling Is Severe Blow to New Deal's Farm and Fiscal Plans. TRIBUNAL DIVIDES, 6-3 Liberals Register Dissent as Injunction Goes to Millers. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. The United States Supreme Court dealt a severe blow to the New Deal's farm and fiscal programs today by granting the plea of Louisiana rice millers for an injunction against processing taxes under the AAA amendments. The court's action applied only to the rice processing taxes but was expected to result in quick legal action by other processors to halt collection of virtually all processing levies. With processing tax revenues already dwindled to a trickle by hampering legal actions, the court’s ruling gave the Treasury the serious problem of finding new funds with which to finance the huge AAA benefit payment. Fear of eventual adverse Supreme Court action on the final question of the constitutionality of the whole AAA program were intensified. Decision of the court on the rice tax injunction was not unanimous. Justices Louis D. Brandeis, Harlan P. Stone and Benjamin N. Cardozo dissented. Arguments on Dec. 16

While the temporary injunction granted by the court applied specifically only to the 1-cent a pound rice processing tax paid by the eight Louisana millers who brought the action, it was expected ; to result in almost universal ap- ! plication of processors to the courts for similar relief. The injunction given in the rice case today will remain in force until the Supreme Court acts on a review petition which raises the question of the right of taxpayers to sue to restrain collection of a tax which they contend is unconstitutional. The court announced it would hear argument on this petition Dec. 16. The government has contended that taxpayers must pay first and then sue in the courts for a refund. Such a procedure was specifically provided in the AAA amendments, but taxpayers contended that a provision against refund unless the tax had not been passed on made the guarantee without value. With more than 1000 suits challenging the processing taxes already filed and collection of some $150,000.000 in taxes held up. the tax blockade was expected to furnish Treasury officials a serious problem. Despite increase of virtually all other sources of revenue, the Treasury balance sheet now shows income far below expectations due to the processing tax famine. Court Allows Two Days The court ordered the rice miller3 to pay the tax to a depository to be named by the court, pending decision on the review petition. Similar procedure is available to other processors. If the court finally rules that taxpayers may sue to restrain enforcement of the tax. they will not then be in a position of having to sue for recovery of taxes already paid tha government, proving at the same time that they had not passed the taxes on.
