‘RING AROUND’ A POLICEMAN-

Pocket Full of Loot; But This Time 12 and 20 Has Double Meaning.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4 (U. P.).— A 24-year-old suspect who reportedly escaped two weeks ago from Oklahoma State Penitentiary, was in jail here today because he tried to tell a city detective that a Scottish Rite Lodge ring was a “graduating class” ring. The suspect, who gave his name as Richard Shelton of Petersburg, Va., was trying to pawn the ring when he ran into Detective John Phillips, a Mason. “That’s my school ring,” explained Shelton, pointing to the number “32” on the ring. “Then we must have graduated the same year,” replied Phillips, showing his own Scottish Rite ring with “32” on it designating a 32d Degree Mason. ; Shelton was taken into custody. He said he and two other convicts had committed several robberies after their escape two weeks ago from prison at McAlester, Okla. While acting as a “lookout” during a burglary in Indianapolis, Shelton decided to slip away from his companions and take the robbery loot with him. He arrived in Columbus and attempted to pawn several articles when detectives apprehended him. Detectives said he would be turned over to Indianapolis police. “If I hadn't run out on my buddies, I'd probably still be free.”

Loot Stolen From North Side Homes

Loot found in Shelton’s car- was identified today as having been stolen Thursday from two North Side homes, Indianapolis police said. It consisted of about $700. worth of jewelry belonging to Herbert Swiggert, 5023 Guilford: Ave. and a fur coat valued at about $100 taken from the home of J. H. Carnine, 818 E. 48th ‘St!

McHale Finds No Signs Of Checkmate by Farley =

Disagrees With Writer Who Thinks McNutt Can’t Muster Over 200 Delegates.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer J WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Mark

Sullivan, writing a political dope story regarding the Roosevelt domination of the 1940 Democratic convention, said: “Probably even the energetic Paul

'v. McNutt would not have over 200

delegates out of the 1100 that make

up the convention.” Frank McHale, on his trip East to confer with Mr. McNutt last week, contended, however, that the Sullivan figure was far too low “judging from present prospects.” Mr. McHale, who is Mr. McNutt’s campaign manager, also denied the substance of a New York Times story which stated that Postmaster James A. Farley actively is making countermoves against the McNutt campaign. “I have traveled around a good deal and have not crossed any trail to show that Jim Farley actively is trying to checkmate us,” Mr. McHale declared.

r— » ” ” The Big Chief from Indianapolis put his imprimatur on the Washington eolumn by Harlan Miller which stated: “Some of the top men in the McNutt-for<President drive are saying confidently that if Roosevelt isn’t a candidate, McNutt will be nominated by a wide margin on the third ballot.”

“True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary,” said La Rochefoucauld in his famous Maxims. Using this particular maxim as a yardstick, Indiana Congressmen didn’t develop any demosthenes during the neutrality debates in the House this week. The majority of them talked and then extended their remarks in the Congressional

Times Photo.

He summed up his attitude in the matter by saying: fa speech of mine + wouldn't change a single vote in the House and I see no reason to bore my colleagues with a lot of home-con-sumption stuff.” Those not making speeches inchided Reps. William H. Larrabee, John W. Boehne Jr. and William T.: Schulte on the Democratic side. The latter. was absent from most of ithe sessions, until the House got down to business this week. Asked if he had been in town, Rep. Schulte said: ¥Certainly. have been studying agriculture out at Laurel.” Laurel is one of the famous nearby Maryland horse tracks. Rep. Eugene B. Crowe (D.

By SAM TYNDALL The 40 Butler University students, including a junior coed, who are taking the civilian pilot training course, are putting in extra time to complete the ground course quickly, according to Dr. Seth E. Elliott, instructor. “It’s phenomenal in a college course,” he said, “but there isn't a poor student among the 40 in this Civil Aeronautical Authority-spon-sored course.” The trainees have covered two sub-courses, one in the history of

aviation and the other in meter-|w ology. In examinations in both sub-

Jjects, Miss Madge Rutherford, the

only femenine class member, stands second highest. Robert H. Davis, Terre Haute, has been the leader since the course be-

Monday the students will begin studying. motors. Dr. Elliott admitted that the keen attention he has received from his students, in some cases at least, may spring directly from the promise of early flight training which under the course program, will begin within the next 30 days. The university will select a private instructor to be approved by a CAA inspector. Instruction in all probability will be held at Municipal Airport.

Tentative field trai training plans for the 38th Division, National Guard air squadron, between now and the end of the year call for establishment of a temporary base at Schoen Field, Ft. Harrison.

Stout said he will order the planes to Schoen Field from their home base at Stout Field only a few miles away. The same training in feeding and housing the personnel can be gainéd with a short maneuver of this kind as could be gained: in a practice flight to establish a new base a 1000 miles away, he said.
