C'OKN PRICE HITS 6-YEAR PEAK CHICAGO, Dec. 7. (UP)—Heavy

demands for cash corn pushed prices toa six-year peak yesterday as the

yellow .grain became king of the pits I at the world’s largest market. Behind a speculative interest lay a I background of controlling factors j which profesisonals predicted would | carry prices to $1.25 a bushel before I spring. Farmers in surplus corn areas j beamed on swelling bank accounts. | Thursday a choice grade of white J corn brought a premium price of I $1.11 a bushel, highest for any grade ! of cash corn since 1928. Com sold for future delivery kept S pace with the spot market. All con- ! tracts sold at highs for the season. December delivery stood at 95 3-8 | cents a bushel at the extreme up- | turn. Other options were correspond- | ingly higher. Drought and chinch bugs this year I reduced the crop to the smallest on | record. Certain Illinois and Iowa j sections produced normal harvests j and these have capitalized on their good fortune. Farmers from the drought-riddled areas of the southwest for nearly a month have directed an unbroken parade of trucks into the inner territory of the belt, paying the sensationally high prices. The wholesale drain on bins cut the movement to terminals to the lightest ever known for this time of

year. A normal movement into Chicago is around 600.000 bushels daily. Less than half that arrived today. TEXAS BANDIT KILLED LAST NIGHT BY POLICE

AMARILLO, Tex., Dec. 7, <UP>— Four automobile loads of peace officers ended the crime career of Irvin "Blackie” Thompson, notorious southeastern killer, in a cross fire of bullets last night on a country read near here. Thompson was one of five convicted men who escaped from the death house at the Huntsville penitentiary last July 22. With Raymond Hamilton and Joe Palmer he succeeded in getting over the walls. Two other convicts were shot down, one fatally. Thompson blundered into an ambuscade in an Amarillo hideout last night, but fled before police could spring their trap. They overtook his automobile after a 15-mile chase when their bullets cut the tires of his automobile. Thompson emptied a pistol and shotgun at the police and was reaching for a rifle when bullets coming from all sides felled him. The police had skirmished around his position behind his car. Officers had been lying in wait for

HI KY KOKC KS, ARCH FOE OFT AS PARTY CHIEF BATON HOUGE, La., Dec. 7. — Senator Huey P. Long yesterday had Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, his New Orleans enemy, removed as chairman of the Democratic state central committee and the senator was elected in his place by an overwhelming vote, over a vigorous protest by the mayor. “I can't let a man be elected to head the Democratic party organization in this state who has said he doesn't give a damn about the government in Washington,” said Walmsley. “This is a slap at the national Democratic party.” The committee was reorganized under act 8 of the November special session of the legislature which became efective at noon yesterday. Attorney General Gaston L. Porterie ruled that the act declared the position of chairman vacant and this made way for Long to be ushered in as the head of the state committee.

America’s master showman, and his world famous orchestra, returned to Indianapolis at the Circle theater today. with an all new stage revue which Ted calls the "Happiness Follies of 1934.” Lewis Is the mood man of jazz, a slight of hand artist, who with his little bag of tricks, can evoke sobbing syncopation or crazy cacaphony at will. This year his revue features a superbly graceful dance team, Shalita and Carroll, who provide a mood indigo with gestures. For more varied steps there are Lois Sterner, Mildred Gaye and Cathlyn Bessette. The Radio Aces, a harmony trio, in addition to their own unique specialty number, furnish a melodious background throughout the presentation. 1 And to round-out a show replete with musical entertainment, there are j Charlie "Snowball” Whittier, who sho’ nuff can shuffle, and those two! little picks, Raul White and Teddy McDaniel. On the screen the Circle will present "Laby by Choice,” featuring Carole Lombard, and May Robson.

Propose Fewer County Courts

PUTNAM AND HENDRICKS WOULD BE COMBINED IN NEW ALIGNMENT INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7.—Suggestions recently made by the state committee on governmental economy in the administration of justice, it was revealed today, would leave one or more full-time judges in 26 of the 92 Indiana counties. They would increase the number of circuits including two or more counties from 16 to 29. The committee, after a study of the work now being done by the courts, recommended reducing the number of circuit and other county judges from 105 to 81. limiting vacations to one month, and increasing daily sessions by one hour. The report contended the average number of cases handled each year by each judge could be increased from 700 to 900. A subcommittee • consisting of Dean Bernard C. Ga.vit of the Indiana University Law school, and Austin V. Clifford of Indianapolis, preparol the recommendations. Elimination of superior courts in Tippecanoe. LaPorte. Vigo and Porter counties is suggested. New alignment of circuits was proposed as follows: Putnam and Hendricks; Montgomery and Boone; Vermllilon and Fountain; Tipton and Hamilton; Carroll and Clinton; Miami ami Wabash, Fulton and Cass: Benton and Warren; Newton, Jasper and White; Adams.
