It could be argued that a truly appreciative audience should scorn such vaudeville tricks, and that therefore the DePauw audience should have only commendation for the playing of things like the Brahms and SaintSaens works. Mi Berg does deserve plenty of commendation for the Brahms and Saint-Seans, and yet his audience on this campus will miss the -sparkling naivete which marked his playing when he entertained them for a whole program with measure I after measure of lightning-fast runs, or with such tricks of technic as lefthand pizzicato.

“INVESTIGATE JAIL BREAK (Continued From Tnire One) was found that the keys had been put back in the car. Barcc anil his cohorts occupied the entire thin., floor and part of the second of the Forbis hotel. The eight witnesses were kept under close guard all of yesterday and until 2:::0 a. m. this morning as investigators sought to obtain statements from them. Barcc had expected to obtain “confessions" or statements which would justify his swearing out warrants for at least throe persons on charges of aiding Dillinger’s escape. Barcc said he has evidence showing that Dillinger paid $1,800 for the

escape.

The witnesses seized by Barcc and state police yesterday in addition to Blunk were: Lewis Baker, warden of the Crown Point jail Harvey Kesier, Dennis M. Dunn, Mrs. Mary Boettcher, Terry Garland, Mrs. Terry j

Garland.

Barce said the plot to free Dillinger was hatched in a Lake county

saloon.

None of the eight persons was formally ai rested, Barce explained. “They are merely witnesses who will lie used against the three persons we intend to arrest." he said. Keiser operates a Lake county beer tavern. Archie Dun is his night cook, and Dennis is Archie’s son and day bartender. Mrs. Boettcher is the wife of another tavern proprietor. CROWN POINT. Ind.. Oct. .11 (UP —Lake County authorities today asked the grand jury to act against officers who held eight persons in hiding as witnesses or principals in the plot which freed John Dillinger from the Crown Point jail last

March.

Prosecutor Robert G. Estill, who summoned newspaper reporters to describe midnight raids in which seven of the eight prisoners were taken from their homes without warrants, asserted that state police and their superiors were "kidnapers under the law.” "I refused to issue affidavits for the arrests", Estill said, "because there was no evidence against the persons named." Deputy Attorney General J. Edward Barce. apparently acting under personal orders of Gov. Paul V. McNutt, retaliated with a statement that he expects to arrest three more persons, "The real principals of the conspiracy.” EstlU’s opinion of Barce’s action was echoed by Judge William Murray of criminal court.

TALKS ON KI SSIA (Fontlnueil From l*nire On*) decline of 01 per cent in world trade and production while under their now •system production in Russia has increased ;i4.'l per cent since HILT "Capital should exist for the welfare of the people and profits and materials should not he placed above human life in value.” according to the Russians. Dr. Swalin appeared for fifteen minutes before a senior class in government and answered questions. In response to questions he gave some interesting statements. “Although front our point of view their marriage system is far front ideal their divorce rate is lower than

ours."

Dr. Swalin saw hoys in rags sleeping in the open, a great contrast to the avowed aims of the Russians. Some churches are conducting services but he saw many fine cathedrals unused and others were used for homes or industrial plants. Civics students have requested that they have the opportunity of meeting Dr. Swalin again in a discussion

group.

BIOLOGISTS Ft ZZ lA li BY Ql LI K CREATI RE

KERNVILLE, Cal. (UP) A biological curiosity in (ho way of animals was discovered near here recently in the Kern River bottom. The creature at first glance was thought to be a rat. Upon closer examination, reason seemed to have fled. Well furred, the animal possessed a long tail that was half an inch wide and perfectly flat. Nature had ividently played tricks with its head, drawing Die face and jaws out into a long cone that had the appearance of a beak, hut with no visible ears. The feet were identical with those of any self-respecting rat, with the exception that they were webbed. The rodent-mammal could bo compared with nothing except perhaps

that biological mystery, th* A ban duckbill, which to the sc <r cally minded is the OrnithoZj paradoxus. ' * With such j zens under 1 was found dead.
