El;o ‘ﬁhe personal appearance the father-hopes to earn enough money to pay his son’s funeral expenses. In the six performances Sunday, the audiences appeared to be sympathetic but_not overly enthusiastic. ; A professional' entertainer asked the family questions. “was John’s death a terrible shock to you, Mr. Dillinger,” the father was asked. - : e “It was,” he replied, “but I'd been expecting it of course, I Didn’t like the way it happened.” ; Incidents of Johns visits to the family home at Mooresville Aprii b were recited to the audience. “1 didn’t know that John was home until April 6,” Hubert said. “Father took me by the arm and =aid he had a sunprise for me, We went into the kitchen but I saw nothing. “John said ‘boo’ and stepped irem behind the door. He acted just lik2 he always did.” : Mrs. Hancock said she didn’t know¢ John was at the home until April 7. “He .was so happy. I went right

home gnd baked some cocoanut piles. John was so fond of them.” . The elder Dillinger appeared in ‘his shirt sleeves son the stage. He wore a new pair of suspénders and his hair was slicked down. : He drew applause from the audience when he told of an offer of $lO,OOO he had declined for his son’s body. “Phere isn’t enough money in the world to Buy Johm’s body,” he said emphatically, Noticeable was the family’s sudden change of attitude toward newspaper men and photographers.

E. church. “In the name of the youth of Indiana and for the sake of the name of our state, I protest against the continuation of this sensationalism. “If debts are to be-paid by relating this grewsome story, what about the interests of 17 families who have lost their loved ones as a result of this man’s checkered career.” . $25.00 given away in four prizes at Crystal-every Friday night after first "showi# REGISTER NOW!

MAY APPOINT NEW WARDEN. Governor Paul V. McNutt Feel the Criticism of His Political Appointment ' Respite denials that a major shakeup in personnel oi the Indiana stata prison will result from the escape of five more convicts last week, rumors presisted at the state house that a penal expert may succeed Warden Louis E. Kunkel. The penologist, it was reported. will be recommended Ly Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sipg 3ing and Sanford Bates, director of the federal bureau of prisons. They now are engaged with other nationally known penclogis.s in- conducting a survey of Indinra pricors and correctional institutions. ; The investigating commission will make recommendations which are expected to be followed closely by GovMcNutt. The . governor is said to feel that a drastic step is necessary to end criticism of the Indiana prison system. i The administration has been blamed for the escape of the John Diilinger gang last September, the parole of Dillinger himself more than a year ago, frequent escapes by trusties and the five inmates of the prison hospital walked away early Saturday morning. * : Despite his friendship for Warden Kunkel, it was pointed’ out, McNutt may beforced to make a change in {he prison administration because of the proxminity of the fall gampaign.

Republicans are expected to use the many escapes as campaign material, claiming that politics should lbe taken out of the prison. Wayne Clay secretary to the governor in charge of penal affairs, has been investigating the escape Saturday. He is expected to report the result of his investigation to the governor this week. _' Leader of the five convicts was Maurice O’Flaherty, 25, whose record includes implication in the murday of a St. Louis policeman. He was poroled from prisons in Missouri and Ohio and was serving a 20 year term on charges of robbing an Indianapolis 'theatre when he escaped from the Indiana prison. :

By R. S. HECHT . Vice President, American Bankers Association : BANKERS universally recognize that the prime economic need of the nation is the stimulation of sound in- : dustrial and commercial activities R and recent trav- ) els over a wide S o | stretch of the I. We courntry have e§ o shown me that R R % . ¢ B they everywhere LN are making all efb fort possible to Lk in lend constructive % financial support Y sot within the scope "~ of their proper R. 8. HECHT banking functions to promoting the expansion of business activity. Frequently in times past when our country suffered from an economic depression and consequent unempioyment on a large scale, the rise of some broad new industrial development, such for instance as a new industry like the automobile industry, has been a powerful factor in stimulating a return or an accelerated growth of national prosperity. Such a movement means the creation of new wealth, the employment of large groups of people on useful lines and as a consequence the production and distribution of sound, effective purchasing power, which is a form of wholesome economic stimulant that has none of the evils of monetary inflation.

A New Force for Business Improvement Perhaps we have at hand, if not the rising of a wholly new industry,7a measurable equivalent in the potentialities of a widespread rebuilling and modernizing movement such as home renovising,‘“plant remodeling, the putting of our railroads on a high speed air conditioned basis and other valuable developments in the construction field. The effects of such activities on employment and many lines of business would be most beneficial and | can repeat without reservation that we bankers are willing and eager to play our full economic part in any such constructive developments. It has been made to appear that money has not gone to work because of the timidity of bankers rather than what is a true explanation, because business men have not had enough confidence in the business outlook to borrow the dollar from the banker and put it to work.. The basic requisite to the expansion of commercial bank loans is sound, normal business conditions on which to conduct sound, normal banking op‘erations. The best business a bank can wish for is the opportunity to loan money to successful business men and manufacturers imbued with confidence to enter upon aggressive business enterprises and endowed with the ability to bring them to successful conclusions. Such loans mean business dctivity for the community, growing pay rolls and prosperity, and the banker wants to make them because to be identified with such activities not only means profite to him but, additionally, brings him the reward of good will in his community. _There is no better proof of the great desire of banks to take care of the short term requirements of the business world than to point out the abnormally low rates at which this demand is being supplied at the present time.

BANK DEPOSITS WERE SAFEST INVESTMENTS

High Government Official Says No Investments Except U. S. Bonds Suffered as Little Loss as Deposits in Closed Banks

WASHINGTON, D. C.—No form of investments except Government bonds suffered as little loss as deposits in closed banks during the years 1931-32-33, Jesse H. Jones, Chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, declared in a recent address. “A point generally overlooked in connection with bank failures in this period, is that upon the whole, depositors in closed banks will get a some:what larger percentage than has been true in bank failures over a period of say twenty-five years,” Mr. Jones said. “Heretofore they have gotten about 589%, but in these wholesale bank closings, my .estimate is that they will, upon the average, get about 659% of their deposits. “Another point worthy of mention is that a depositor in a closed bank loses only a part of his deposit, while the bank stockholder loses all, plus a stock assessment. “No form of investment, except Government bonds, has suffered as little loss as deposits in closed banks, and while 1 appreciate that there is little consolation in this fact, those who had their savings invested in stocks, bonds, mortgages, real estate, industrial investments, or in businesses of any kind, have had losses very much greater, and in a much larger percentage, than have depositors in closed banks. “It is for these reasons, and others not necessary here to enumerate, that it is not possible to justify paying depositors in closed banks with the taxpayers’ money.”

Cranking his car while it was in gear cost Wilbur S. Hille of Goshen formerly of this city a piano tuner, a broken collar fbone and a fractured shoulder blade when the car jumped over thec urb and pinned him to a railing. He was taken to the Goshen hospital and was dismissed after treatment. . ;
