UNEMPLOYED UNION LEADER URGES BOYCOTT OF POLLS; FINLY GRAY FACES PROBLEM

Official Advises Jobless to Aid in Forming Third Party. Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 2.—Merrill Jackson, Workers Alliance of Indiana secretarytreasurer, today recommended that members of the unemployed union boycott the polls Tuesday. * Mr. Jackson addressed delegates to the union state convention In session at the Central Labor Temple here. The organization claims 50.000 Indiana members. The WPA administration in Indiana will not discriminate against workers for belonging or not belonging to the union. Wayne Coy, State WPA Administrator, said in a message read To the delegates. Mr. Coy was unable to appear at the meeting. Urges Farmer-Labor Party Urging independent political action for the jobless, Mr. Jackson recommended that the convention go on record as advocating the formation of a Farmer-Labor Party. Referring to the primaries, he said, "I suggest that wherever possible pickets be placed in front of the polling places with such slogans as ‘The old parties are unfair to the organized unemployed—boycott the primaries’.” Mass action among locals of the union ‘‘for an adequate appropriation to continue the works program an dagainst any more layoffs,” was suggested by Mr. Jackson. Suggests March to City ‘‘lf we fail to convince the politicians,” the secretary said, ‘‘of our refusal to submit to further cuts in our living standard, I recommend that the incoming executive board and your officers be instructed to plan for a huge march on the state capitol.” ‘‘For many years,” he said, “the unemployed have been the victims of the tweedledee and tweedledum of our political system—the Republican and Democratic parties. It has watched the two old parties use relief and the WPA as political footballs. The unemployed are ‘fed up’ with the old parties and want to ai din the formation of anew party.. Mr. Coy said in part: “I have followed with interest the attempts of the workers on WPA to organise It was an uphill business. Tir Works Progress Administration of Indiana has in no way hindered such organizing, neither has it lent its assistance. Privilege of Citizens “To organize is the privilege of any American citizen. To decline to join such organized groups likewise is the privilege of any American citizen. This administration therefore will refuse to discriminate against any person on the grounds that he either belongs to an organized group or that he does not belong to such a group.” Mr. Coy said he was opposed to the dole and that a strike of WPA workers “gives pleasure only to those in this country who would gladly see the WPA program fail.’’ A vote on Mr. Jackson’s report is expected this afternoon. CANDIDATE PLEADS FOR 30-HOUR WEEK Leon 0. Martin Speaks at Meetings Here. Urging the “30-hour week” as a method of spreading work and relieving unemployment, Leon O. Martin, Democratic candidate for Congress from the Twelfth district, spoke last night at several Democratic meetings. Mr. Martin said: “Politiciansmay shout to high Heaven about high taxes and government spending, about socialism and communism and all the other isms, but the truth of the matter is that we can not expect reduced taxation as long as we have 12 million unemployed people in this country.” "My own remedy is to ask industry to co-operate in putting the unemployed back to work. A right step in this direction would be to enact the 30-hour-week law.” 445 ARE ARRESTED BY STATE ABC, FRY SAYS 238 Convicted of Liquor Infractions Since Jan. 1.

Wants to Vote in State Without Meeting His Constituents. BY DANIEL KIDNEY Time* SUIT Wrilet WASHINGTON, May 2. Rep. Finly H. Gray has a bad case of postoffice jitters. Asa result he is plotting a sly maneuver whereby he can slip into Connersville amirvote in the primary election Tuesday without his constituents in Union City and Muncie hearing about it. The long-haired Tenth District Representative admits that these are two towns he wants to avoid just now. In each he has given women temporary appointments as acting postmaster and the fight 1s on among the men for the permanent job. Ten took the examination for the Union City postmastership, but only two have been certified for appointment. Wants to Avoid Them They are Bert Woodbury and Orvah Hindsley. So any day now Mr. Gray expects either the Woodbury boosters or the Hindsley supporters to descend on him here. But he would like to avoid them on his trip home. He is afraid that if he gets into that controversy, combined with a five-faction fight for the permanent postmastership at Muncie, he will not have time even to vote. “Just say this for me,” Mr. Gray advised, “I will return to Indiana and vote, if legislation her permit,:, but I am coming back on the first train.” Neither Senator Frederick Vanl Nuys nor Senator Sherman Minton will return to the state to vote. The Senators and their wives have mailed absent vote: ballots. Crowe Follows Example This route also is being taken by Rep. Eugene B. Crowe of the Ninth District, who has been returning on week-ends to look after his campaign for renomination. Congressmen returning to vote include: William T. Schulte, Samuel B. Pettengill, James I. Farley, Glenn Griswold, Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes, Arthur H. Greenwood, John W. Boehne Jr, William H. Larrabee and Louis Ludlow, Democrats. Charles A. Halleck, Republican. OPPOSES7BILI FORJINFLATION Rep. Pettengill, Who Signed Discharge Petition, Won’t Vote for It. Times Special WASHINGTON, May 2.—Although the names of nine Hoosier Congressmen appear on the FrazierLemke bill discharge petition, the $3,000,000,000 inflationary bill will not get that many votes from Indiana when brought to the floor May 11. Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill, who was one of the first to sign the petition last session, announced at the time that he was opposed to the bill. He hasn’t changed his mind he declared today. Four Democrats refused to sign the petition. They were Reps. Louis Ludlow, John W. Boehne Jr., Eugena B. Crowe and William H. Larrabee. The latter did sign last session, but removed his name when urged to do so by Administration leaders. Mr. Boehne announced that he will oppose the bill’s passage as he opposed passage of the inflationary Patman bill to pay the bonus. “I am against printing press inflation,” he asserted. Only outstanding spokesman for the bill among the Hoosier Congressmen is long-haired Rep. Finly H. Gray. “The Frazier-Lemke bill Is all right as a first step, “Mr. Gray declared. t “But in my opinion it doesn’t go far enough. We should extend the same advantages to all creditors by increased inflation.” Rep. Charles A. Halleck, only Republican from Indiana, was one of the petition signers. Others were: Reps. William T. Schulte. James I. Farley, Glenn Griswold. Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes and Arthur H. Greenwood.

FRY WARNS AGAINST POLITICAL THREATS Liquor Dealers Can Vote as They Like, He Says. In strong terms, Paul P. Pry, state excise administrator, today warned "politicians anywhere in Indiana” not to attempt to bring pressure to bear on liquor permittees in next Tuesday’s primary election. Mr. Fry said it has been brought to his attention that “threats” and “political pressure” are being used against liquor permittees in various parts of the state to force them to “line up” for certain candidates in the primary. “Be assured,” he said in an open statement to all permittees, “that despite any threats from local politicians. no permit will be revoked for any political reason. “The Alcoholic Beverage Commission wants it definitely understood that permittees need havenothing to fear from the commission with reference to any pressure which politicians may put on them for this, or that candidate in either party. “This is a bipartisan commission and politics play no part in the granting or revocation of any permit,” he said.

Buried Alive 10 Days hum m m m Story of First Hours Told

The Moose River rescue squad uses a diamond drill to make first contact with the entombed men.

Three men re marooned in a eollapsed mine. One i* fat and 54); one 34), thin, high-strung; one tough-fibred, a miner. How do these men face the catastrophe of being buried alive? Dr. D. E. Roberston, one of the survivors of the Moose River mine entombment writes the second installment of his tense narrative today. BY DR. D. E. ROBERTSON JJALIFAX, N. S.—Having missed death in the first unexpected move, we found that the period of most intense excitement had passed. We were still living, capable of rational thought and action. I was more than satisfied with the quality of the two men with whom I was marooned. They had themselves well in hand, and although terse and quiet, did not lose grip on themselves. From them I was able to reap a large store of confidence. Magill asked me how long it took a man to starve to death. I told him there would be do difficulty in going tw r o or three weeks without food, but that starvation would not be a factor in this. Other questions of a similar nature were asked me, having to do with the medical end of such situations. We agreed that we would have to establish ourselves in a definite place, and that we must do this while our lights still lasted. We counted on the lantern for some 18 hours, and on the miner’s lamp for some shorter period. We immediately hit upon a plan of building a fire in order to warm and dry ourselves. It was very cold. The absolute temperature was not low—l fancy somewhere in the 50s—but under the circumstances it seemed very cold. tt n n WE shivered freely, through fear and nervousness as well as cold. I suggested that this was a physiological reaction and that we should not try to restrain these shivers but to give them full rem, and in this way stimulate circulation and warm ourselves. We searched for wood that was burnable, and we found a small box made of thin, soft wood which had been used for carrying dynamite. Just a little to the south of the landing stage we pulled a big piece of fallen rock into a circular position. It was about three yards in diameter. On this Alf, who had a knife, began to make splinters. While he was engaged in this a large piece of rock fell from the hanging wall and barely missed his head. I got a thrill when I saw the calm manner in which he pushed it out of his way. We moved our burning stone to a position under some timbering, which protected us against any more falling rock. We got the fire started by using the miner’s lamp. By means of incessant blowing, with our faces close down to the fire, we were able to get the fire alight and produce smoke. We then realized that the smoke was typical wood smoke and that it would in all probability seep through the crevices of the rock and let the people on the surface, by rccoognizing its character, realize that we were still living and had built a fire. tt tt tt MAGILL and Alf wanted to smoke, but found that their cigarets were sodden and their matches in like condition. We kept our fire going a matter of 16 hours, but it was only by dint of continuous blowing by one or two that it was kept alight at all. It was during this time, I think, that we all first complained of numbness in the feet, which I recognized as the beginning of “trench foot,” particularly in my case, as my shoes were not tight. I suspected that Alf’s boots were laced too tightly. Magill took the opportunity of changing his socks, or at least taking them off and trying to

warm and dry them. During the hours we had this fire we were able to warm stones and pass them out. A man could take one and use it where he felt it would do him most good. We discussed way and means of the method of rescue. Magill and Alf, but Magill particularly, were apprehensive of the flooding of the mine. The water was at the 370-foot level at the time of the collapse. With the great increase in the amount of water we thought was coming into the mine, we considered it might not be long before the water rose to a point where we would be driven from our present level, tt tt tt f I ''HAT left us one of two places to which we might go. If rescue were to come directly down the shaft, we would be wise to stay in the shaft, retreating upward if we were driven by the water. If rescue came through one of the stopes to the east, then we would be better off in the stope. However, because of the tremendous cavern below it seemed imposible for the water to come up to our level. We felt confident our fire had given a smoke signal which would be recognized. Tapping on the broken pipes had not brought any response. We had found in the mine something that was of the utmost importance. That was a large granite cup, and close to our fire stone we had a pipe delivering a fine stream of clear water. After we had been in the mine for 12 hours (Magill and Alf had their wrist watches), it seemed to us we could hear blasting. It sounded a long distance off, but it gave us hope that an attempt was being made to deliver us. n tt n A LMOST immediately after lighting our fire, Magill and I became nauseated. We began to vomit. Periods of vomiting were followed by almost continuous hiccoughing. Early I urged my companions to dring large quanties of water, warning them that if they did not they would quickly weaken themselves. Alf apparently had a fine digestive system, which was not easily upset. After 18 hours our fire had gone; the lanterns were out. We cleaned the fire off the stone and lay on it for warmth. We curled up as close as we could get and lay in this fashion first on one side and then on the other. At intervals we would doze, and almost continuously Magill and I retched and hiccoughed. I made them get up at intervals and stand on their feet, in the hope that they would stamp some circulation into their limbs, and in this way preserve vitality. It got increasingly difficult to stand, on account of the loss of sensation in the feet. tt tt tt THE indigestion from which Magill and I suffered w r as very distressing. Our throats were sore. If one took a large amount of water it would give comfort of a degree for 20 or 30 minutes, following which the whole content of the stomach would again reach a high degree of acidity. To begin to do anything required a certain amount of preparation. We would have to warn each other that one of us wanted to move. The flashlight would have to be gotten ready. We watched each other very closely, fearing that the one moving in the dark might inadvertently fall through one of the openings. The blasting continued. We could hear automatic hammers or drills running, and they sounded like machine-guns in the far distance. About the third night they seemed to be pointing right in our direction. Then for 12 hours there was steady drilling, and afterward about 16 to 30 shots were fired. Some rocks were dislodged and fell down the shaft. We took this as a good sign, and I think it was at about this stage that we began to realize that a serious endeavor was being made on the surface, and that there was a chance of our being rescued.

Alvin Karpis Is Captured; Police Hunt Brady’s Aids

Dozen Midwest Cities Join Search for Suspects in Rivers’ Killing. (Continued From Page One) may have been wounded during the battle in front of Dr. E. E. Rose's home, 2153 Barth-av. Three of the desperadoes went to Dr. Rose originally to seek treatment for a wounded confederate, policesaid. Whitley and Tibbets, arrested in two raids yesterday afternoon, are believed to be accessories in the case. Immediately following the gun battle in which the policeman was slain, three members of the gang, including Brady, fled to Whitley’s home, according to Capt. Matt Leach of state police, who questioned the two new suspects. Went to Whitley Home, Report They remained there until 4 Tuesday morning, Capt. Leach quoted Whitley as saying, and then Whitley took them in an automobile to the Hart home, 27 S. Lyndhurst-dr. Whitley said he knew Brady as Barton, but never had met the other two. A statement attributed to Whitley by Capt. Leach, accused Brady of killing Sergt. Rivers. This statement conflicted with one city detectives said they received from Hart. They quoted the garage owner as saying the bandits were not certain who fired the shots. Denies Knowledge of Robbery Whitley denied any knowledge of the $15,900 jewel robbery at Lima, but Capt. Leach said he had been a partner of Brady’s in a bootlegging enterprise. Whitley was arrested in Tibbitts’ home on Silver-av. Tibbitts later was picked up at the Maron Industrail Center, 1200 Kentucky-av, where he is employed as a mechanist, but police have not determined whether he has any connection with the case. oßth men were reslated at city police headquarters today on vagrancy charges and are being held under high bond. While detectives were questioning Brady at headquarters yesterday, the Rivers funeral procession passed through a lane of 150 uniformed officers standing in front of the building. Rivers Burial Held Sergt. Rivers was buried in Washington Park. Services were held in Shirley Brothers chapel. Although detectives thought Brady would toll them where Martin was hiding, the desperado maintained he did not know. At first it was thought the wounded hoodlum still was in Indianapolis. This theory had been abandoned today.

Gangster Being Taken to St. Paul, Belief; Nabbed in New Orleans. (Continued From Page One) ing of Hamm or Edward G. Bremer, j Authorities at West Plains. Mo., also ' would like to try Karpis for killing Sheriff C. R. Kelly in 1931. Hoover was jubilant at his department's newest coup in its war cn kidnapers and interstate gangsters. Karpis, Public Enemy No. 1 on the G-men’s list for over a year, had a S7OOO reward on his head. Got Tip Thursday Through mysterious channels, the G-men learned Thursday that the ; man, they wanted, who had been a phantom to them since Jan. 1. 1935,; when he shot his way out of a trap at Atlantic City, was living in an apartment house on Canai-st, in New Orleans. Early yesterday, the Department of Justice chartered a twin-motored Douglas transport plane from the Transcontinental and Western Air at Newark. N. J„ airport. Hoover, who was in New York when the information was received, flew in it to Washington, where several of his lieutenants joined him. The plane then proceeded to New Orleans, arriving only a short time before the capture. Meanwhile, orders had gone to G-men stationed in cities near New Orleans and when Hoover arrived 20 agents, armed with sawed-off shotguns, revolvers and submachine guns, were assembled in the Department of Justice offices there. Karpis Walks Into, Trap Less than an hour after the trap was set, Karpis came strolling out and crossed the sidewalk toward his automobile at the curb. In a flash, G-men surrounded him and had his arms pinned to his side. He couldn’t have resisted if he had wanted, though he was unarmed. Other agents went to the Karpis apartment and, after a struggle, arrested a pretty 22-year-old girl, whose identity the agents still are concealing, and Fred Hunter, a suspected bank robber. Karpis and the girl had lived in the apartment as Mr. and Mrs. Edward O’Hara since April 10. Federal agents, as usual, kept secret the source of the information that led to Karpis’ arrest, but it was said authoritatively that a gossipy automobile salesman, Clarence Pucheu, known to his clients and friends as “Duke,” had set afloat rumors that reached the G-men. Rumors Are Unconfirmed Rumors circulated that Karpis’ woman tipped off the Federal agents for the S7OOO reward, but these, like scores of others, were without the least confirmation. New Orleans police knew nothing of the trap. Excited neighbors telephoned them when it was sprung. They were indignant that the Federal men had invaded their bailiwick without even a “by-yoflr-leave.” Karpis began his career as a petty thief, and was initiated into the big time criminal world in 1931, after his escape from the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing, by the Barkers—Arthur and Fred. He soon became joint leader of the mob and with it is alleged to have participated in the kidnapings of Mr. Edward G. Bremer, a wealthy St. Paul banker, and Hamm, Eludes Eastern Trap Arthur Barker and his mother, Kate, were killed by G-men in Florida in January, 1935. Karpis had been in their hideout a few hours before the raid, qnd fled to Atlantic City, where an unsuccessful trap was set for him several weeks later. Doc Barker was captured meanwhile, was convicted with a number of associates of the Bremer kidnaping, and now is serving a life term.
