{heir [robbery demands. ‘Made $600 An Hour’
“They said‘ they wanted to rob him because he was the richest man in the community and made about $600 an hour,” an officer said. _ -Hoback told police he left his home last August and had been employed as a farm hand on the Loveless estate. Authorities at Lees- ~ burg said he was discharged five weeks ago. The youths climbed through a . window of the manor house Sunday night and waited for Loveless, police said. When the attorney returned. they pointed guns at him * and told him to raise his hands. Instead, Loveless attacked them and grappled for the gun in Hoback’s hand. Hoback said he .received a flesh wound when the - gun discharged and a bullet nipped his ear
Got Empty Wallet
~ Hoback said he called to Peters to hit Loveless over the head, but that Peters fired at Loveless. Hoback ran into the néxt room, threw a vase at Loveless and started up a stairway. Loveless caught him - again, but fell back when Hoback kicked. : Loveless stopped fighting, Hoback told: police, and asked what they wanted. He gave them an empty bill fold and his car keys, they said, and they forced him into a closet. ~ They fled in Loveless’ coupe and -stopped five miles away at a house where they ‘left a note reperting!: they believed Loveless was injured ~ seriously. Police said the youths had driven to Frederick, Md., and then to Cumberland, where they had stayed at the home of Hoback’s aunt since Tuesday. :

DEFENSE STRIKE CURB DEMANDED
Discord, Stambaugh Tells Traffic Men.
The power of ‘irresponsible labor leaders to cripple the nation by strikes, affecting National Defense must be curbed, Lynn U. Stambaugh, national commander of the
| American Legion, told members of
the Indianapolis Traffic Club last night at the Claypool Hotel. The Legion chief said America lacks the complete will to win—to defeat Hitler and all that he represents. Discussing: strikes, he asked: “What responsible labor leader can compare (the position of labor here in free America with conditions elsewhere in the world and continue to shout defiance to the Government?
Blames Minority
“What labor leader worthy of the name can sleep with a clear conscience when he calls strikes against the security of the nation?” He said a minority of labor—Iless than two million of the 40 million working men in the country—“has caused all the discord and discredit that has come to labor in this emergency.” “A minority of this character is seeking to tell the 40-odd millions who want to work, who want to] win and who want to preserve the America of our forefathers, that this- and that may be done only with their consent and at their hijacking prices. There is nothing of America in such procedure. Their power to cripple this nation might be, it will be curbed.”
