WASHINGTON, April 7 (U. P).— An unexpected increase in the Government’s income and economy policies in the Budget Bureau forecast today a 300-million-dollar reduction in the budgeted deficit for

this fiscal year. That reduction would slash the deficit for the year ending June to approximately $3.600,000,000.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director. American Institute of Public Opinion

EW YORK, April 7.—The American public does not

complacently accept the idea that people are bound to be killed in automobile accidents. It is in a frame of mind to submit to measures of the most drastic sort if there is any chance that traffic accidents could thereby be reduced, according to national surveys by the American Institute of Public

President Roosevelt estimated in January that it would approximate $4,072.259.000. This favorable forecast was made by fiscal experts as there appeared to be a possibility that Congress may yet get around to easing the tax pressure on industry by eliminating so-called business deterrent taxes. Government Workers to Pay Taxes on Federal and State employees are on the way up, the bill providing for reciprocal taxation of their incomes having passed the Senate in final form yesterday.

Story of Billy the Bull Just Grew Faster Than He Did.

NIONTOWN, Pa. April 7 (U. P) —It seems today that the story about Billy's Angeiface was too much bull. Farmer Robert Sweeney, Fairhope, declared that the story about his yearling bull grew faster than Bill's Angeiface (Bill for short) grew. It isn't true that Bill was so frail that he was kept in the cellar of Mr. Sweeney's home all winter. Nor that the bull grew so fast that when spring came, Rill couldn't get out the door and maybe part of the house would have to be wrecked to get him out. $$ 4 # HE truth is that Bill was kept in the cellar during some of the cold weather, but he’s now in a lean-to and can get out to smell the flowers any time he wishes to. Mr. Sweeney thinks the story started to grow after he visited the barber shop the other day and some of the boys kidded him about Bill being in the cellar on some of the cold days.

BELIEVE SEG POST OPEN TO HUTCHINS

WARM SPRINGS, Ga., April 7 (U. P.) .—Robert M. Hutchins, University of Chicago president, may be appointed Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, it was reported today. He was a guest of President Roosevelt at the Little White House. Dr. Hutchins was said to be the choice of William O. Douglas, who was promoted from the chairmanship to the Supreme Court bench. He came to Warm Springs for what temporary White House offices described as a “purely social visit.” He left the Pine Mountain cottage of the President before reporters knew he had been there. After some excitement, the White House office announced that Dr. and Mrs. Hutchins were “old friends” of the Chief Executive and of Harry Hopkins, Commerce Secretary, who has been Mr. Roosevelt's guest for the past week.

periods during the day. A study of that city’s traffic problem resulted in a redistribution of the force so that 50 of them worked from 4 p. m. to midnight, the peak hours, with the rest of the force distributed almost evenly through the rest of the 24 hours. The patrol strength then corresponds with the accident frequency, Sergt. Dickinson said. The city is then zoned according to accident districts in order that each district can be expected to have about the same number of accidents. As a further aid for the officers, each is given a report on the type and number of violations to expect in his district and at what times they might be expected to occur. “A vital aid to this program is in having the public's co-operation in reporting accidents,” Sergt. Dickinson said. “With complete reports available, the public's co-operation and scientific investigation by trained squads, traffic deaths can be reduced to a minimum.” The motorcycle school was to hold its examinations today on the week's study. On Monday outdoor classes will begin at the Fair Grounds where officers will practice the theory they have learned. Chief Morrissey said today the 32man squad would be increased probably by from eight to 10 men.

MARION, April 7 (U. P.).—Claude F. Wirick, 32, died today of injuries received last night when he was struck by an automobile driven by William Roberts, 21, of Indianapolis. Wirick was alighting from a street car when he was hit.

Ten Are Injured In Traffic Mishaps

A mother and her 10-year-old daughter, who were injured in a three-car collision, were among 10 persons hurt in overnight traffic accidents here. Mrs. Leona Smith, 34, and her daughter, Betty, of 5251 E. Raymond St., were hurt when the car in which they were riding with the

husband and father, Morrison Smith, and a car driven by Miss Rosemary Delatore, 1644 Fletcher Ave, were sideswiped by another. Auto Leaves Scene The driver of the third car drove hurriedly away from the scene of the collision at Keystone and English Aves., police said. Neither Mr. Smith nor Miss Delatore was injured. Thomas Hindman, 45, R. R. 15, Box 654B; Miss Alberta Collins, 23, of 203 Adams St., and Alfred Pease, 22, of 1925 Lexington Ave, were injured in a crash at 33d and Meridian Sts. They were treated at Methodist Hospital. The cars were driven by Mr. Pease and Mr. Hindman’s son, Thomas. Auto and Truck Collide Leland Harper, 21, of R. R. 15, Box 518, and Miss Betty Dickey, 17, of 2829 Station St., a passenger in his car, were hurt when the machine collided with a truck at 38th St. and Capitol Ave. Alvin Shalley, 45, of 1832 N. Harding St., the truck driver, was uninjured. Three persons were treated at City Hospital after an accident at 30th and Meridian Sts. They were William Callahan, 29, and Lucille |Callahan, 20, both of 1179 Centen{nial St., and George Treeter, 48, of 2870 N. Illinois St.

tria in the Adriatic, and Valona with its Albanian hinterland. In addition to all this, Italy was to strengthen her hold on Libya, and if Britain and France took over Germany's African colonies, Italy was to be permitted to enlarge her territory on that continent also. She was to retain the Dodecanese—the 12 Greek-speaking islands in the Aegean—and finally, upon the expected postwar dismemberment of Turkey, her share in the spoils was to be commensurate with those of her new partners.

Italians End Chaos

The “gift” of Albania to Italy, it is true, was somewhat conditional. It was stipulated that if, later on, it was decided to partition that little distributing the parts among Serbia, Montenegro and Greece, Italy was not to object. But Albania was not partioned. Instead, poor, hard-fighting little Montenegro was handed over the Serbia, and Albania continued as she was, though definitely under Italian tutelage. First proclaiming her independence of Turkey in 1912, she fell into chaos during the World War. But in 1917 the Italian Gen. Ferrero, in command of Italian forces operating there, set things to rights and installed a provisional government. Then in 1920 the Albanians drove Gen. Ferrer and his troops back to the coast. By a teraty, taly assured Albania of her continued sovereignty. In 1924 she was proclaimed a republic and so remained until 1928 when the Moslem Col. Ahmed Zogu, then President, was proclaimed King Zog. In 1926 Italy and Albania signed the treaty of Tirana, a mu-tual-assistance pact, which, considering the relative strength and weakness of the two parties, made Albania more than ever a protectorate of Rome.

FIRE IN TERRE HAUTE WAREHOUSE PROBED

TERRE HAUTE, April 7 (U.P) — Investigators today probed ruins of a three-story warehouse to determine cause of a $50,000 fire yesterday. The blaze, in the warehouse of the General Furniture Co. spread over all three floors. Furniture company officials said the furniture loss was covered by insurance. When firemen attacked the blaze, flames were shooting from all windows and it was impossible to get inside the building. For more than

an hour they could fight the fire only through windows.

In 1927 relations were broken off and but for the League of Nations, to which the dispute was referred for settlement, war might have ensued. Later in the year the Treaty of Tirana was converted into a new, 20-year defensive alliance. Such, broadly speaking, is the background of the present flareup on the shores of the Adriatic. London and Paris are placed on a most embarrassing spot. In view of the secret treay of London, they are in a poor position to make any great outcry against what Sig. Mussolini is doing in Albania. And they would be in a still worse one were they to go to war to stop him. Even if he swallowed the little kingdom, lock, stock and barrel, he would merely be consuming part of the platter voluntarily set before Italy nearly a quarter of a century ago.

POLL OF COMMITTEE SHOWS BAYS BACKING

A poll taken among 24 members of the Indiana Democratic Committee today indicated that Fred OC. Bays will be elected State Chairman

next Tuesday unless upset by a “dark horse” candidate. State House Democratic leaders said they expect a unanimous vote for MY. Bays. Mr. Bays, a member of the Public Service Commission, has been on a Southern cruise for several weeks but is expected back Monday. Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson, State Chairman for four years, said he will place his formal resignation before the committee when it convenes at the Claypool at 2 p. m. Tuesday. Mr. Jackson said he is preparing to run for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1940.

She denied, however, that there was even a budding romance, much less an elopement possibility as reported in New York

gain money and notoriety, only to be betrayed by a woman and killed. Dickson, 27, was a two-gun bank robber and kidnaper. He and his gun-toting wife, Estelle, 16, an exceptionally attractive blond, had terrorized Midwestern states for more than a year. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Redenbaugh, respected Topeka, Kas., citizens. Dickson was the son of a Topeka high school professor and had served robbery terms at Jefferson City, Mo., State Prison and at the Hutchinson, Kas., Reformatory before he and his wife started their forays. Last night four agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting on an informer’'s tip, surrounded Dickson at a West Side hamburger stand and called on him to surrender. Instead, he reached for one of two guns he carried in his belt. Each G-Man fired once and he fell with two bullets in his chest. He died without saying a word. Two guns and a six-inch ‘hunting knife were found on Dickson. One was a 45-caliber Army revolver and the other a Smith & Weston 38 with a sawed-off barrel. Also taken from the body was a wallet containing $51, including a two-dollar bill, looked upon by some members of the underworld as a “bad luck” token. Later, a money belt found on the body was opened. It contained $260 in currency.

Not Wife, Clerk Says

Miss Cambron examined a photograph of Dickson's wife and said it was not the likeness of the woman she said she had seen in the hamburger shop with Dickson. Mrs.

Dickson's whereabouts were not known. G-Men reportedly were searching the city for her. Miss Cambron said she was working behind the counter when the man who turned out to be Dickson came in and sat down. “A few minutes later,” Miss Cambron said, “a woman, about 35, came in and sat down alongside of him. She wore an expensive black coat and hat and had curly black hair. They started to talk to each other and when they had finished eating, Dickson paid both checks and they walked out together. “When the agents grabbed him and the firing started, the woman backed into the shop. She was crying. After the shooting, one of the agents came in and asked her, ‘is that the man?’ Gerald Norris, chief of the St. Louis Bureau of the FBI, tersely discounted Miss Cambron’s story. “I don't know anything about any woman in black,” he said. They obtained $2000 from the Corn Exchange Bank at Elkton, S. D., in August, and $17,000 from the Northwest Security National Bank at Brookings, S. D., in October. Estelle always drove the getaway car while Dickson fired at pursuers.

Shoot Way Out

After the Dakota robberies they went to Topeka, where they shot their way out of a police trap at an auto camp. Then they went to Michigan and escaped from another trap set by state police at Mottville. Dickson was wounded slightly. The couple stole an automobile near Vicksburg, Mich., and kidnaped the driver, Henry Matty, a farmer, and Claude Minnis, a filling station attendant. They crossed into Indiana, abandoned the car, halted another and added its owner, Louis Karr, a salesman, to their group of captives.

Commandeered Car

Owned by Hoosier

Benny Dickson, Kansas outlaw who was slain by G-Men at St. Louis last night, terrorized northern Indiana last November as he and an accomplice were fleeing from Mendon, Mich., after a gun battle with police. The two outlaws had seized two hostages in Michigan and then near Griffith, four miles south of South Bend, commandeered an automobile driven by Louis Karr, South Bend businessman. The gunmen transferred a large quantity of dynamite from the Michigan car into Mr. Karr’s and then foréed: their three hostages into it and proceeded in the direction of Chicago. A woman, believed to have been Dickson's wife, Estelle, was with them.
