Entered second clam matter at the Post Office at Reading, under the Act of March, 1879. 3 Cents a Copy IIP jjuw a iu TODAY By ARTHUR BRISBANE Gangsters, Shoot Chinch Bugs Chew Automobiles Boom And, the Pleiades (Copyright. 1935) CHICAGO, March 25. Regular Chicago weather, bracing air from the lake, smoke in the air, most welcome, proving that some factory chimneys are active. News here deals with an unsue cessful effort by gunmen to "mur der" T.

J. Courtney, state's attorney, who has annoyed criminals by going after them. At 2.30 in the morning the state's attorney was going home in his auto, with Alderman Perry beside him in the back seat, his bodyguard, two detectives, one driving, in the front seat. A fast "small car pulled up, fired eight bullets, mak ing holes in Courtney's automobile, hitting nobody. Two bullets passed close to Courtney's head.

Courtney says of those who tried to murder him, "They were punks," which means that they were second grade criminals and he promises to put "the heat on them." Courtney has seriously disturbed racketeering in one labor union in Chicago and says those who tried to murder him were "labor racketeers, a cheap, chiseling mob." He thinks he knows who they are and at the moment he is looking for "the man in the green gabardine coat." There's a good title for a detective story. BETTER, more important news is contributed by a young friend, John A. Dickson, who looks after "foreign advertising" for a Chicago newspaper. He thinks you would like to know that "last week the automobile industry turned out 100,065 cars, the first time automobile production has gone above units since 1930." That, as Mr. Dickson says, Is really important news.

It means that 100.065 families and business men have been made happy In the possession of beautiful new cars and new marvelously efficient trucks. It proves also that among American business men, the automobile industry, refusing to be discouraged, has kept up its courage and its advertising, constantly producing better cars to make advertising productive. It pays to work hard, to have courage, produce what people want and then to let them know you have it. FTARMERS are warned by the gov i ernment to look for an invasion of chinch bugs that eat wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn. They will not eat tomato plants or soy beans; nobody knows why.

Barnum said he did not know why his white elephant would drink anything else and would not drink English coffee; He could only guess that the elephant did not like Eng lish coffee. The chinch bug already is stirring underground in 70 counties of Illinois, and farmers are advised to pray for which drowns the bugs. Perhaps the little creatures have heard from Washington and seek to "do their part" by cutting down crops, and saving the farmers the trouble of plowing under. YOUNG people that have read Tennyson's description of the Pleiades, "fireflies tangle in a silver braid," may be interested in some real news about the Pleiades. Every speck of light in that interesting group is a separate sun, and Pro fessor Jan Schilt, of Columbia uni versity, proves tnat each speck, a separate sun, moves in its own in dependent orbit.

When your narrator visited the able French astronomer, Flammar ion, shortly before his death, climbing six flights of stairs on the other side of the Seine in Paris, to find him, Flammarion said that in all astronomy nothing was more interesting than the study of the Pleiades. "We have counted 40,000 suns in that small Pleiades group, thus far, and we are only on the threshold of astronomical knowledge." Flammarion did hot live to hear of that giant telescope lens 200 inches in diameter, now cooling off at the Corning Glass" Works', destined to take the sight and mind ol man, 90.000.000 light years into space, revealing endless "new universes."

CCC DEMOBILIZATION THIS WEEK LIKELY Relief Bill Delay Causes Exhausted Funds WASHINGTON, March 25 (US). Demobilization of 370,000 youths in CCC camps, required unless ad ditional funds are provided this week, will cost the government $6. 000,000 it was learned tonight. Tills is represented by the trans portation costs involved by sending the enlisted members of the corps to their homes. An additional $6, 000,000 will be required to rebuild the camps to their present strength when money for their continuance becomes available.

With President Roosevelt's $4, 880,000,000 relief bill facing further delay and the possibility df a senate filibuster, the fate of the 33.000 paid employes of the organiation appeared highly uncertain. Failure of congress to pass the bill this week will leave the agency without funds and without any legal au thoriation to continue. Director Robert Fechner may ap peal to the paid members of the organization to remain at their posts with assurance of full compensation when the funds are available.

Had Planes Ready to Rush Babies Across Border and Avoid Jurisdiction of New Ontario Law TORONTO, March 25 (jpy The Ontario government moved swiftly today against a bizarre plot, reported by authoritative sources, to kidnap the Dionne quintuplets, whisk them to the United States by automobile and airplane and exhibit them there. A police guard day and night will be assigned to the private hospital near Callendar where the Infants live, it was officially announced. Government spokesmen refused, however, to discuss the plot. Reports said daring exploiters were back of the scheme, seeing a fortune in the m'king if they could exhibit the famous babies publicly and that the attempt was to have taken place within two weeks.

By that time northern roads would be free of snow. Once the babies were in the states they would be removed from the jurisdiction of Ontario, where legislation was recently passed makingUhem wards of the king. Under the kidnap plans, it was said, the little sisters would be bundled into an aucomobile for the dash of nearly 300 miles to the Ontario Michigan border at Sault Ste. Marie. There a waiting airplane would take on the passengers and head southward.

A. W. Roebuck. Ontario attorney general, said he had detailed two provincial police to the hospital at the request of David A. Croll, minister of public welfare who sponsored the measure providing guardians for the babies.

Asked why the police guard was assigned, Croll 's only comment was "for' the babies' protection." Are Wards Until 18 Under the legislation, which awaits only the signature of the lieutenant governor before becoming law, the quintuplets are made special wards of the king until they are 18 years old. Cross said Oliva Dionne, father of the babies, and Dr. Allan Roy Dofoe. their physician, would be two of the guardians with others likely to be named. BUZZ BUZZ INN RAIDED BY AGENTS Find 15 of 20 Patrons Minors Twenty 15 or thm minors were forced to identify themselves before they were freed last night when a raiding party swooped down on the Buzz Buzz Inn, on the old Philadelphia pike between Stowe and Douglassville, and arrested Edward Gavin, 40, Phoenix vi He, alleged proprietor, on three liquor law violation charges and one for maintaining gambling devices.

Interrupted in the midst of what police termed a "riotous time," the pr.trons were told they will be subpoenaed for witnesses. Gavin posted $1,000 bail for a hearing night befor? Alderman Castner on charges of se'ling to minors, selling malt liquor and selling spirituous liquor without a license. The raid was staged by three agenls of the State Liquor Control board at 10.30 last night, accompanied by County Detectives Fred Marks and Martin Sapiego, and Sta'e Troopers Dooner and Ericson. Gevin also paid a fine of $14 and casts before Castner when Marks fcund several punch boards in the place. The raid followed numerous complaints to the district attorney, st.d to state liquor enforcement agencies SAYS U.

S. TO DROP Dionne recently expressed dissatisfaction with the bill, saying it would split the family in two and that he and his wife wanted a chance to show they were able to raise their own children. At North Bay, William Flan nery, Dionne's attorney, said he. had a conference this morning with the parents. He expressed surprise at the kidnap report and said he did not know a police guard for the hospital had been ordered.

"I don't think Mr. and Mrs. Dionne know Anything about the kidnaping report," Flannery said. "They did not mention anything about it to me." Parents Oppose Law Asked if the parents were still opposed' to the legislation, Flannery replied, "Oh yes, we are still opposed to that." Only last week Dionne and his wife, carrying baggage, visited the hospital while a crowd gathered outside wondering whether the parents intended to "establish" themselves in the little building. The parents remained about two hours, talking at times with a provincial constable who arrived from North Bav.

Dr. Dafoe said today at his Callander office he, had heard nothing of the reported kidnap threats, nor of the special guard. The babies are nine months and 25 days old today, and are in perfect health. They have progressed steadily since being moved from the Dionne farm home to the hospital that was built for tliem across the road. Grandfather I Guard Protection for the infants was not lacking, but previously there had been no special precautions taken agaiast kidnapers.

Until the coming of 'winter the babies' grandfather, Oliver Dionne, stood guard at the gate of the hospital every day to keep out the curious. Other relatives of the family have been within call if guards were needed, while a provincial constable could be summoned by telephone from North Bay, 12 miles distant. FIND TABOR RELICS VALUED AT FORTUNE 17 Trunks Taken from Baby Doe's' Shack DENVER, March 25 (JP) The glorious past of the Tabors, hidden away more than a quarter of a century ago by the glamorous one time mistress of millions.

When her body was found she had only two dollar bills in her purse. In the trunks were mementos which would have brought sufficient funds to ease her declining years. Mixed with the silver and cold trinkets were baby clothes, worn by the golden haired Tabor heiress, Silver Dollar Tabor, who died in a Chicago fire.

ROOSEVELT CAN LOSE, NORMAN THOMAS SAYS Predicts He'll Grasp Inflation Finally SAYRE, March 25 Norman Thomas, twice Socialist candidate for President, told a large audience last night that six months ago he would have said nothing' could prevent the re election of Franklin D. Rooevelt in 1936, but i now lie is not so certain. "I never saw sentiment in the nation change so rapidly," he said. "Wild inflation" will be the ultimate outcome of the New Deal, he predicted, adding if Mr.

I a Hopkins Threatens To Halt U. S. Relief Unless State Helps Ultimatum to Earle Fixes Amount at $5,000,000 Monthly APRIL 15 DEADLINE Says Federal Government Wont Hold Bag; Governor Promises Action WASHINGTON, March 25 (IP) A flat ultimatum to Pennsylvania to begin paying $5,000,000 a month toward the cost of caring for its un employed by April 15, or forfeit its federal aid, was delivered to Gov.

Earle today by Relief Administrator Hopkins. The administrator unequivocally fixed the "deadline" at a brief conference with the governor and told reporters later he would not "hold the bag" for the state after the middle of April. Earle, who had come to Wash ington for the two fold purpose of explaining what the legislature was doing to provide relief funds and to ask Hopkins for $20,700,000 of federal relief funds for the month of April, predicted the state's contribution would be available. Won't Starve, Says Earle "Pennsylvania's legislators, whether Democrats or Republicans, are Americans," Earle asserted, "and are not going to let their fellow citizens starve." Today's conference disclosed for the first time what Hopkins considered to be Pennsylvania's' "fair share" of the relief cost. Despite the fact he had insisted upon its payment until the first of this year, he never made public a specific figure.

Stating the federal government had poured $48,000,000 into the Keystone state's relief coffers since January 15, Hopkins' said he felt now there ought to be "some action by the legislature." Will Continue Until April 15 "The governor is trying to get the action," Hopkins added, "and I've told him we're not going to continue to hold the bag. We've been willing to do it up to now, but if we carry the full load until April 15 well have done our Job. "After that any federal aid will be contingent upon the state's contribution. Hopkins said the $5,000,000 monthly figure was not based upon percentage but upon what he conquered the slate's ability to pay. In response to questions he said he thought the state should contribute that much whether the total relief cost was $20,000,000 a month or only half that sum.

"They'll need to contribute that much in Pennsylvania for a long, long time to come," he predicted. U. S. May Exceed Quota In the meantime, he explained, the federal government will be spending as much, if not more, in the state on the proposed works program than it does now. A keil if the slate's share of the cost of relief was to be retroactive, Hopkins replied in the negative.

MALADY TURNS GIRL, VT0 HAG Spring Iirings Recurrence of Wierd Disease To Birmingham Child (I'niversal Service) BIRMINGHAM, March 25 The terrors of a bewitched princess, transformed by the change of tha seasons, returned today to 12 year old Mary Kate Ware, whose Strang "zodiac malady" has baffled modern science.

The girl, normally a happy, touching child, changes each year with the coming of spring and again with the fall, into a wizened witchlike being. More than 200 doctors have tried in vain to diagnose the mysterious malady which follows the change of the 'seasons and which, with frightening regularity changes Mary's chubby fingers into shriveled talons, her round, childish face into haggard, pinched lines. The child's back acquires a hump as the equinox draws near, her head sinks between her shoulders, har arms grow limp and a withered foot drags. The strange malady first came upon Mary when she was three years old, according to her mother. Mrs.

Samuel Ware. It passed with the coming of summer. Then with the fall, it returned. Attacks More Severe Since then, twice a year, the malady has returned, just as the first signs of spring appear, and again as the leaves turn red. Each year the attack is more prolonged and severe.

Last fall the attack was mora severe than usual, and for the first time the child felt pain. During the winter the strange disfigurements did not entirely disappear as usual, and now doctors fear that the pres ent attack may be permanent.
