inet as the country slept, said that he intended to put a brake on both the right and left wings in politics. At 3 a. m.,, as the Cabinet meeting ended, the monarch addressed a proclamation to the people, announcing that the constitution would be modified to meet new demands and that his new Government was designed to end the troublous situation that, off and on, had endured for eight years. Of his new government, the King said: “They will work courageously for the good of the Fatherland.” At © a. m. today’s issue of the Royal Gazette was issued. It established a royal military dictatorship; placed the civil administration of all Rumania under the Army; extended a state of siege, hitherto existent in a few provinces, throughout the country; appointed 66 new provincial prefects, 30 of them Army colonels or lieutenant colonels; ~ empowered first civil authorities, then the Army to search any house at will; empowered the Army to demand immediate surrender of firearms and ammunition; authorized a censorship; empowered the Army to forbid or dissolve any public meeting.

Assumes Power

Thus the one-time “madcap Prince” emerged as the newest of Europe's strong men. Premier Goga, announcing that he would not participate in the new Cabinet, issued an 1l-page statement, reflecting his blistering anger. After his outburst, “Israel, you are victorious,” he said: “There are men in the Cabinet who brought our country into its present unfortunate position. What can one expect from such a Government? The King asked me to enter the new Cabinet. I, however, refused because I did not see the necessity for the present changes.”

Nazis Deny Unrest Rumors

(Copyright, 1938, by United Press) BERLIN, Feb. 11.—Dr. Otto Dietrich, Reich Press Chief and close confidant of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, gave today the first detailed authoritative statement regarding a multitude of rumors concerning the German internal situation. It constituted an emphatic denial of rumors abroad of disturbances or unrest in Germany and of reports regarding Hitler's health. Speaking by telephone from Haus Wachenfeld, Hitler mountain retreat outside Berchtesgaden, Herr Dietrich said: “I have read what has been said abroad that frontiers are closed, that the SS troops (crack Nazi bodyguards) are being used in the Army to watch over and expel reactionary officers, that there is unrest in the Army. “Since the official communique of Feb. 4 (announcing the Nazi shakeup) everything has been quiet. The

Army is quiet. Every officer is doing his duty at his regular post. “These rumors are false and stupid.” Herr Dietrich said that Fuehrer Hitler was in good health and that although he was wogking, he was taking the opportunity also to rest a little. Herr Dietrich described rumors of 8 “breakdown” as nonsense. Franz von Papen, who was minister to Austria, left for Berchtesgaden to confer with Herr Hitler. Berlin was quiet today, and Germans went calmly about their business unaware of the furor of rumors beyond the frontiers. Newspapers ignored all rumors and official sources vehemently denied them.

Ulster Election

Views Conflict BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Feb. 11 (U. P.).—Unionist Party leaders said today that a conclusive Government victory in Wednesday's parliamentary elections had definitely settled the question of the separation of Northern and Southern Ireland.

Unionist representatives, all opposed to joining Eamon de Valera's Eire, were returned to Parliament in a greater majority than before the special general election. They are assured of 38 of 52 seats in the lower House.

DUBLIN, Feb. 11 (U. P.).—Irish Republicans said today that the large Unionist victory in Northern Ireland was not surprising but that

the result should not be regarded as indicating the real state of opinion in Ulster. Extreme Republicans boycotted the elections.

Rebels Repulse Loyalist Attack

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Frontier, Feb. 11 (U. P.).—Dispatches reaching here today said that Government attacks along the Alfambra

River on th» Teruel front against Rebel positions at Villalba Baja had been repulsed with heavy losses.

Chinese Claim Jap Advance Checked

SHANGHAI, Feb. 11 (U. PP), — Chinese claimed today that the westward advance of Japanese troops had been checked at Senlipoo on the Central front where Chinese forces repulsed the Japanese vanguards It was claimed also that the Chinese had made a successful counter-attack. It was reported that Chinese troops again were forced to retreat from Wuhu, on the Yangtse River, which they reportedly retook after 10,000 Japanese were withdrawn,

SENATE ADMITS JOINT REPORT

ON FARM BILL |

Garner Upholds Revision; Chamber Sustains His Action, 48 to 31.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P.) — Vice President John Nance Garner today overruled a point of order raised against revisions made by the Senate and House conferees to the McNary-Boileau amendment of the Farm Bill. An appeal against the ruling of the chair was taken by Senator Duffey (D. Wis.). However, the Senate voted to sustain Vice President Garner's rejection of the point of order, 48 to 31.

Authority Upheld

Mr. Garner held the conferees had authority to make revisions because of the procedure used by the Senate in consideration of the Farm Bill. When the bill was received from the House, all except the enacting clause was stricken out and the Senate bill substituted. The House has approved the conference report and has discharged its conferees.

Hearing ‘Likely’ on Bridges Charges WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P.).— Senator Guffey (D. Pa) today offered to the Senate Commerce Committee a substitute bill for

dots. H. S. Mencken is Evening Sun editor., Each dot, the Sun explained, represented a Federal jobholder. “The dots, unfortunately, had to be made very small,” it added. “There are, in fact, more than 3500 to the square inch. “If each of its dots is taken to represent a dollar, then the Federal jobholders wipe the chart clean every 22 minutes. In the course of a year they knock off more than 8000 charts. “Counting a dot to a dollar, the Federal jobholders have consumed nearly 35,000 charts since the New Deal began.”

PERCENTAGE GAINS IN OFFICE JOBS NOTED

More than 18 per cent of the jobs filled with private employers during January by the State Employment Service, Indianapolis branch, were made by the commercial and professional department, George J. Smith, district manager, .said today.

“Since the city is a trading and distributing center,” Mr. Smith said, “it is natural that a high percentage of our placements should be made in offices, retail establishments and minor executive posts.”

A constant turnover among service workers was responsible for a 26 per cent placement in this department, he said. About 35 per cent of jobs filled were by the domestic service department. Thirteen per cent were filled in the semiskilled trades. The unskilled labor department placed 7 per cent.

FIRST LADY SPEAKS TO NEGRO CONGRESS

PHILADELPHIA, Peb. 11 (U:P.. —The nation has “come a long way” since Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation 75 years ago, but economic inequalities make virtual ‘slav of many today, Mrs. Franklin I. Roosevelt told the National Negro Congress last night. “We are getting to a point where we are going to insist that all human beings have certain basic rights in modern civilization—that all should be equal before the law, that there should be no discrimination in citizenship rights, and that all should have the same opportunities for economic and educational activities,” she said.

The bill would require employers and employees to “exert every reasonable effort” to make and maintain voluntary written agreements, which would contain provision for settlement of disputes by port committees. Meanwhile the Senate Committee returneg to consideration of the Maritime Bill today after Labor Department officials indicated a formal hearing would be ordered soon to consider charges that Harry Bridges, Australian-born labor leader and C. I. O. director, is an undesirable alien. Members of the committee, headed by Senator Copeland (D. N.Y.), said they expected early action by the Labor Department in the Bridges case. Labor Department Solicitor Gerard Reilly said it was “very likely” that a hearing would be ordered. Senator Copeland continued to refuse Mr. Bridges an opportunity to answer charges made at the committee's hearing that he was a Communist,

Relief Grant Offers 500,000 Jobs Now

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P.) — Acting Works Progress Adminis-

At the peak of the relief load next month, he said, 450,000 others who would be discharged unless supplemental relief funds are supplied would continue on WPA jobs. Administration leaders predicted

passage of the WPA appropriation by next week-end. President Roosevelt has asked Congress to add $16,880,000 to the budget request for 1939 fiscal year War Department expenditure.

Compromise Seen On ‘Penalty Tax’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U.P.).— After weeks of disagreement Administration Democrats and insurgents on the House Ways and Means Committee approached a compromise today on the proposed new penalty tax on closely held corporations. After finding seven of the 18 Democratic members of the Committee opposed to the tax in its present form, Chairman Fred M. Vinson (D. Ky.) of the tax subcommittee yesterday offered two modifications: 1. To permit deductions from the penalty tax base of money used by corporations to pay debts contracted prior to Jan. 1, 1938, and to make similar allowance in the case of corporations under contract not to pay dividends. 2. In the case of deficiency assessments, to allow corporations 60 to 90 days to declare dividends.

paraiso, by Deputy Sheriff Harry Lowe, who found him asleep in an automobile on the Cobb farm. He resisted arrest but was quickly subdued when Officer Lowe was joined by Sheriff Truman Lane and State Police. He was returned to prison here for questioning and solitary confinement. : Since Christian was with Hulburt and Gengo when they fled the Prison, authorities believed the trio had separated near Valparaiso and accordingly concentrated their search in that vicinity. Cummings and Pavlench were seized near Wheatfield, after they had obtained a ride from William A, Davis, a farmer, State Police who had blocked the highways stopped Mr. Davis’ car for an inspection. “I'm okay,” Davis said, “but I just picked up these two fellows in the back seat a couple of miles down the road.” The two convicts surrendered without a struggle.

Trusty Beaten Off Only a few yards from the spot where the men went over the wall is a new tower, but the lone guard did not see them in the dark. No alarm was sounded until the convicts encountered a trusty outside the prison walls. They beat him off when he attempted to halt them.

The convicts ran down the street | day

It was the first major break from the prison since John Dillinger engineered the escape, Sept. 26, 1933, of 10 desperate convict-members of his gang. All have been killed or returned to prison since that time. Cummings and Hulburt were both sentenced on robbery charges -from Indianapolis in 1934, Cummings getting a 15-year term and Hulburt 12 years. They made a similar break together from the Marion County Jail at Indianapolis, Oct. 7, 1934, while awaiting removal here, but were recaptured the same day. Pavlench, Gengo and Christian, all from Gary, Ind., were sentenced to from 10 to 25 years each for armed robbery in 1935.

Michigan City last night, once boasted that “no jail can hold me.”

From his record it would appear he has tried to prove the boast.

In October, 1934, together with August Cummings, another who broke from the state prison last night, and Roy Love and Ernest Gilberson, both of Indianapolis, Hulburt made a dash for freedom from the Marion County jail here, but all were recaptured the same

While serving a four-year sentence at the Oregon State School for Boys, Hulburt escaped six times. A native of Bowman, S. D., he joined the Army and on June 20, 1933, escaped from the Ft. Benjamin Harrison guard house with Melvin Blanton of Canton, O., an Army deserter. They were recaptured in New York and held at Governor's Island Prison. But again Hulburt escaped and then helped Blanton make a spectacular escape in a rowboat. With Charles G. Hamilton of Middletown, O., Hulbert and Blanton returned to Indianapolis where they were arrested for a traffic violation in a stolen automobile. Later they held up a Ft. Benjamin Harrison sentry and obtained his gun which they used in a series of holdups which led to their arrest and Hulbert’s latest sentence. Cummings was given a 15-year sentence on a bandifry charge growing out of the holdup of the Hoosier Cab Co. offices here on July 29, 1934, He was sentenced previously to the Kansas State Penitentiary on a larceny charge in 1922. He ‘was paroled and on Jan. 7, 1925, was convicted in Indianapolis on a burglary charge and sentenced to one to 14 years in the state reformatory.
