DENIES CHARGE OF COLLUSION “IN GAS C0. SUT

Chiase Bank Files Final Brief In Federal Action; Decision Waited.

- Charges of collusion in the suit to determine whether the City is bound by a 26-year-old lease of Indianapolis Gas Co. properties to the former Citizens Gas Co.| were denied in a reply brief on| {file today “in Federal Court. The brief, filed by the Chase National Bank, plaintiff, is the last expected to be filed before Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell makes his _ decision. “ During oral arguments earlier this month attorneys charged and de- _ hied there was any collusion between the Indianapolis Gas Co. and the Chase bank in naming the Indianapolis Gas Co. as defendant in order to gain Federal jurisdiction. Jurisdiction Disputed Should the Indianapolis. Gas Co. be realigned as plaintiff there would be no diversity of citizenship and therefore. no Federal jurisdiction. The brief alleges there lis no collusion because the Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago has ruled there is some “collision of interest” between the bank and Indianapolis Gas Co. ‘In the suit it is maintained that when the City in 1935 took over the Citizens Gas Co. through the Citigens Gas & Coke Utility, it obligated itself to pay Indianapolis Gas ‘Co. bondholders nearly $600,000 annual rental specified in the lease. Lease Was Assigned The lease was made in 1913 when the Indianapolis Gas Co. ceased to compete with the Citizens Gas Co. In 1935 when the Citizens Gas Co. conveyed all its property to the City it also tendered an assignment of the lease. But this the City refused to recognize, claiming the rental was execessive for the property still useful. & Since then the rental has amounted to nearly $1,400,000, placed in escrow, which the City would probably have to pay if | the lease is found valid.

HUNT GANG LORD IN FIVE KILLINGS

G-Men Aid Search as Dewey Offers $25,000 for ‘Most Dangerous Criminal.’

NEW YORK, July 29 (U. P.).— Federal and local authorities directed a nation-wide hunt for “the most dangerous criminal” today, knowing that until he is caught, a campaign of assassinations against his former associates will continue without mercy. Their man is Louis Buchalter, a

ruthless racketeer, who until he became a fugitive two years ago, made $1,000,000 a year by racketeering in the garment and trucking industries. From his hide-out, he was directing the remnants of his army of assassins that was estimated to have once numbered 250 of the toughest gunmen in the underworld.

Kills Respected Citizen

These assassins have been steadily diminishing the number of persons who could give testimony concerning Buchalter’s activities. They had removed four potential witnesses, but made an error in seeking to remove a fifth. They killed Irving Penn, a highly respected citizen “without an enemy in the world.” He died because he resembled Philip Orlovsky, who lived in the same apartment house, and who could, if he would talk, “crack the underworld wide open.” -

Associates Guarded

The indignation aroused by Mr. Penn’s assassination, impelled authorities to intensify their drive to catch Buchalter. District Attorney Thomas H. Dewey revealed that he, J. Edgar Hoover, FBI head, and Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine have been conferring twice weekly to co-ordinate the hunt. Mr. Dewey said he would ask the Board of Estimate to raise the City’s reward for Buchalter’s capture from $5000 to $25,000 and that he' had prepared indictments against him

Jonah the Skunk Has Whale Of Time at Swank Golf Club

Unobtrusive but Unwelcome Visitor Gets Lonely And Departs Though His Memory Lingers on.

P.) —The volatile odors of a dozen

perfumes permeated the swank Dalles Country Club today as the membership, completely and genuinely skunked for two days, pre=pared for an unpredictable week-end. - Through the spacious main salon, the dining rooms, kitchen and locker rooms and the richly appointed women’s lounge the fragrance of attar or roses mingled; and with it, unblendable as a strain in

some fantastic orchestration, was the lingering presence of a lately departed guest. Jonah the skunk had gone. He had left as quietly and unobstrusively as he had come in off the course seeking water 20 hours earlier. But the question that had the membership quaking in its shoes was: “Where to, Jonah, and for how long?”

® #

ONAH whose most potent characteristic’ need never again be explained to members of the Dalles Country Club, came up out of the Columbia River bottoms a week ago and was immediately and literally given the run of the course by men and women golfers who chanced across it. ; Thursday, troubled with a thirst, Jonah ambled into the clubhouse, breaking up a bridge game, scattering guests and attendants to the fartherest reaches of the course. Thus ostracized, it slacked its thirst and chose for an afternoon siesta the deep carpet of the women’s lounge. There ‘tollowed for the membership 20 hours of frantic inactivity. The house committee was stymied, the entertainment committee trapped, the greens committee lost. Life at the club became static and out-of-doors, and the thermometer on the caddy house veranda rose to 111 degrees.

” o 2

UGH STARKWEATHER, club pro, rejected such solutions as shooting, asphyxiation or the water hose; and nobody volunteered to handle the situation from close range. Jonah napped on rugs and upholstered chairs, prowled the clubhouse throughout the night and part of yesterday, unmolested; and then, while a brave crowd looked on from the second tee, .821 yards removed, Jonah ambled out and toward the river. A hastily organized fumigation squad, bearing a stock of perfumes, moved into the clubhouse. The women planned a week-end handicap event, but with more apprehension than enthusiasm evidenced. _ Everybody hoped and prayed Jonah wouldn’t return. They had no assurance that he wouldn’t.

COMMUNITY FUNDS FORM STATE GROUP

Representatives of Community Chest and Community Fund Associations from 16 Indiana cities met here yesterday at the Columbia Club to form a state organization and to exchange ideas. Virgil Martin, assistant manager of the Indianapolis Community

Fund, was named chairman of the new association; Mrs. Florence MecConnell, Evansvill d., vice chairman; Mrs. La H. Arnold, Lafayette, Ind., seend vice chairman, and Wade T. Searles, assistant professor of social work at Indiana University, secretary. Members voted to meet again next summer and unanimously approved the “unit” system of listing together as one the name of a company and its employees who contributed to the chest.

ment about $500,000 annually, creating a serious budget problem.

Ketchum Calls Meeting

A. C. Ketchum, State Budget Director, called a meeting of the State

discuss necessary adjustments. Mr. Gottschalk said 179 investiga= tors will be needed. Each will canvas the homes of three WPA .workers a day. Under the new law, persons who have been on WPA rolls more than 18 months continuously must be reinvestigated and after that, those remaining on work-relief projects must be reinvestigated every six months. WPA Commissioner F. C. Harrington today suspended this rule because of a modification of it added to the lending hill in the Senate last night.

Needs to Be Determined -

gators will determine the “relative needs” of indigents. This means, he said, that if one family is in worse condition economically than another,sthe one needing help most will be given preference on jobs. . Attending the Budget Committee meeting Thursday besides Mr. Gottschalk will be John K. Jennings, State WPA director, and R. W. Bunch, head of the unemployment relief division of the State Welfare Department.

GOURT HOUSE LAWN FOUNTAIN DOOMED

The moss-covered rock fountain on the north side of the Court House, a landmark for 25 years, will be torn down unless the public opposes, County Commissioners - said today. “That fountain is an eyesore and a4 menace to children,” said Commissioner Dow Vorhies. two children crawled up on it and fell when the rocks crumbled. We are afraid someone will be hurt.” Fred Hohlt, Court House ground keeper, said that “some bums had even been sleeping on the fountain.” The County Commissioners said that if they tore down the fountain they would plant a “beautiful flower garden” in its place. Mr. Vorhies said the fountain was built about 25 years ago at an estimated cost of $25,000. He said the fountain had not been running for more than 10 years, that the pipes are all rusted and that the concrete floor will not hold water if water could be run into it.

STOLEN BONDS

- SUSPECT HELD

New Jersey Banker ‘Faces ~ Charges in ‘Biggest ‘Case in Years.’ :

NEWARK, N. J, July 20 (U.P) — Robert C. Whitworth, who resigned by request as vice president of the Bergen Trust Co. of Jersey City two weeks ago, was under arrest today charged with being an important figure in what Government agents described as “the biggest stolen bond case in years.” : Whitworth was picked up by Fed-

|eral operatives and specifically ac-

cused of accepting $24,000 in stolen stocks and bonds as collateral for loans made by his ‘bank. Part of this sum represented his share from the bond ring, whose activities extended as far west as Omaha, Neb., the agents saiaq.

The inquiry into the ring, which allegedly was disposed of more than $250,000 in “hot” bonds, was started three years-ago and Whitworth’s arrest makes him the 20th priisoner. Additional arrests completing the Government's case are expected in other cities. The first public inkling of the investigation came last January when John C. Crimmons, Syracuse, N. Y., attorney, was taken into custody as the alleged master-mind . of the ring. Weanwhile, authorities said, other ring members stole securities from banks in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Kansas.
