Campbell, former governor of Arizona, asserted here yesterday. Mr. Campbell, who recently retired as president of the United States Civil Service Commission, has returned to Phoenix to make his permanent headquarters after many years spent in public service. State's Just Portion Thirty million dollars, he declared yesterday, is Arizona's just pro portion of federal funds which have been set aside for distribution throughout the nation for public works and improvements to provide work for unemployed men. So far, he pointed out, the state's largest federal aid loan has been $1,300,000 for the improvement of the Beardsley irrigation project.

Mr. Campbell, who stressed the point that he was a candidate for no public office, urged the state to join in a movement to obtain its just' share of the federal funds which are now being distributed through the nation in the form of Reconstruction Finance Corporation money, farm and loans and money for similar purposes. Arizona Held Back There are numerous projects, he pointed out, for which, if effort were put forth and factionalism forgotten, federal funds might be obtained to finance. One of the factors which has been holding Arizona back in this respect, he asserted, is its internal fighting and lack of unanimity. Since his return.

Mr. Campbell also declared he has noted a complete lack of support of the state's administration. "It had been my hope," he continued, "that the state administra tion would be given the same en couragement and support by the public of Arizona as it and that of other states is according the na tional administration.

Prisoner Believed Motive For Attack JANSAS CITY, June 18. (AP) -v iiciniroo ni-in II iiip ine inn chine gun killers of four ceace of ficers and an escaped convict here yesterday spread to a half dozen states tonight, although federal and local officers had but meager clues on which to work. The trail left by the slayers from the scene of the killing, the Union Station plaza, was soon lost and even the path taken by them has remained a subject of dispute.

How ever, agents of the United States Bureau of Investigation and hun dreds of other officers were piecing bits of evidence together in hopes of bringing about their arrest. Dropped by the machine gun fire were Raymond J. Caffrey, special agent of the bureau of investigation. Otto Reed. McAlester, Chief of police, trank Hermanson and W.

J. Grooms, Kansas City detectives, and Frank Nash, notorious Oklahoma train robber and killer. En Route To Prison Nash was being returned to the federal prison at Leavenworth, from which he escaped three years ago. Officers were divided in theories as to whether the killing was staged in an effort to free Nash or "rub him out." However, Thomas J. Higgins, chief of Kansas City detectives, said today he was confident the purpose was to liberate the 49-year-old college bred convict who walked away from the Leavenworth prison as a trusty in October, 1930.

"They would have only one purpose in going into action with a machine grin," Higgins said. "That would be to liberate Nash. It was possible they killed him by mistake." Fighting F. J. Lackey, special agent at Oklahoma City of the United States Bureau of Investigation, who was critically wounded by the slayers, still was clinging to life today at Research hospital.

R. E. Vetterli, agent in charge of the bureau of in vestigation here, was slightly wounded. Frank Smith, another federal operative, escaped unscathed. The search for the gunmen, whose number was variably "estimated at from two to four, spread to Hot Springs, where Nash was arrested, to Oklahoma, where he was a member of the Al Spencer gang, (Continued On Page 4, Col.

2) Kidnap Gang Suspect Held KANSAS CITY, June 18. (UP) George McGee, who is suspected of being a member of the gang which kidnaped Miss Mary McEIroy, 25-year-old daughter of the city manager of Kansas City, was arrested today in Roanoke, according to word received by local police. Officers left immediately for Lynchburg, where McGee, was said to be in jail. According to word from D. C.

Smith, chief of police of Lynchburg, McGee admitted his identity, but it could not be learned here whether he had made any statement concerning the McEIroy case. With the arrest of McGee, only one suspected member of the gang remains at large. McGee's brother, Walter McGee, is in jail here, accused of being the ringleader in the gang which kidnaped Miss McEIroy from the bathroom at her home three weeks ago today and held her 23 hours, until the girl's father, H. F. McEIroy, paid $30,000 ransom.

Walter McGee was arrested in Amarillo. Tex. Other suspects were arrested here. More than half the ransom money was recovered, according to authorities. New Heat Wave Hits Midwest CHICAGO, June 18.

(UP) An other heat wave swept back over the Midwest today after a week of cool weather. Less than 10 days ago a previous heat wave ended after taking approximately 100 lives. The official temperature for Chicago was 96 degrees while at Elgin, 30 miles from the shores of Lake Michigan, the mercury climbed to 101.2 degrees. Tomorrow was expected to be another hot day for Chicagoans, the weather bureau predicted on the basis of temperature readings of more than 100 degrees from towns in the northwestern prairies of the Dakotas and Minnesota, centers of atoms of other substances, a step toward the goal of liberating atomic energy on a vast scale and transmuting elements of one kind into another. The two new particles Inside atoms whose existence is suspected are heavy particles with a negative electric charge and possibly also magnetic particles, Dr.

Compton said. There are already four kinds of particles that apparently exist in some atoms: the proton, a heavy positively charg-ed particle; the electron, a light weight particle of negative charge: the neutron, which has no charge: and the positron which has a positive charge but is light in weight like an electron-How these four particles are arranged in the centers of atoms still is largely a mystery, the solution of which it is believed, may open up vast new possibilities in science.

AP) significantly blocked off from consideration, the state department officials today prepared to write before the week is out a tentative schedule of war debts conferences with those nations which have made their payments In whole or in part.

The attitude of the Washington government was described as rigidly requiring at least partial payment first and talk afterward. Willing To Study Debts Nations paying in part already have been informed of America's willingness to make a new study of their funding agreements in formal notes dispatched over the weekend. In cntrast. France was sharply reminded of her two defaulted installments and her plea for revision was ignored. As a matter of fairness to those countries which have made an effort to pay.

President Roosevelt believes that before the French request can be considered the Paris government must place itself in the same position as the nations to which he lias promised reviews.

(AP) The farm credit administration made known today that it has civen an advance of $27,400,000 to the American Cotton Co-operative Association as a step in the operation of the cotton option pool to be employed by Secretary Wallace in his cotton program. The agriculture secretary will nnnniinw" bis orocram calling for maximum processing taxes of about four cents a pouno tomonow. It will provide for paying farmers' rentals, for retiring a large portion of the growing crop, and will offer them options on about 2.500.OOO bales which Wallace will acquire under the farm adjustment act.

The credit administration said the co-operative used the money to pay off primary liens on the organization's 1930 seasonal pool cotton. The co-operative served as vehicle for cotton stabilization efforts of the federal farm board, recently absorbed by the credit administration. The administration said that In making the loan it was paving the way to take such action and to rnoL-o siirti settlements as are necessary in order to acquire full legal title to the association cotton. hich later is to be sold to the secretary of agriculture.

The Amberjack II, his 45-foot schooner, tossed like a floating cork in snarling waters off the Massa chusetts coast. The President and his crew of five intimates donned oilskins over their white outing clothes as the rain beat down. But it was all in a day's work for America's sailor President. He was tired but smiling tonight in this sheltered cove after the two-hour battle with the elements.

Outside this quiet village beyond the reefs lay two watchful naval destroyers that trailed Mr. Roosevelt through the storm to this island with vigilant care. They were ever close behind him. Tonight. the President flew a white flag atop the mainmast which was encircled with wreaths or smoke from the fire that cooked some bass for the presidential sup per.
