April 14. Federal trade commission investigators have reported evidence purporting to show write-ups totaling millions of dollars in from "12 to 15 subsidiaries" of the Associated Gas Electric System.

The "write-ups," the commission contends, are part of a general practice to artificially in. crease capitalization, which would entitle the companies to higher power rates. The new rvidence, tho trade commission said, would show that a supposedly "independent ap- praiser" was employed by the company to make the 'write-ups. Actually the commission maintained this was not the case. Documents of joint bank accounts in the Chase National bank and other financial data were placed in the records to support the commission's charges.

Less than four months as the leader of the nation's notorious gang of criminals earned John Dillinger the police listing as America's public enemy No.

I 1 His latest foray into Indiana when he visited Warsaw and raided the police station early Friday morning again brings the noted outlaw into national prominence. His leadership of a gang that included several escaped convicts extended from his liberation from Lima, 0., jail to his capture in Tucson, on Jan. 25. During that period the Dillinger gang was reputed to have obtained more than $200,000 in a dozen or more middle western bank At least three police officers were slain by tbo gang. Dillinger was born on an Indiana farm near Mooresville 31 years ago.

His youth was spent in school and doing farm work. He left the farm, where his 70-year-old father still lives, at age of 20. By his own account he "fell into bad company." His career of crime, so far as police records show, began in the summer of 1924. Dillinger and a companion waylaid Frank Morgan, G5-year-old grocer, and beat him severely duiv ing a robbery attempt. He was arrested, convicted and sentenced to two to 14 years in the Indiana state reformatory.

During his stay there Dillinger was far from a model prisoner. He was punished repeatedly for infractions of prison rules. He tried twice to escape. After serving four years of his sentence ho was paroled in 1928. There was no record of how Dillinger spent his next few months, but in 1929 he was arrested for the robbery of a grocery store in Grovetown, Ind.

On July 16, 1929, he was sentenced to six to 10 years in the state prison at Michigan City. In the Michigan City prison Dillinger met the men he later was to lead in a bloody campaign of banditry. Among them were John Hamilton, Harry Pierpont, Russell Clark and John Makley. Dillinger was paroled from state prison on May 23, 1933. Four months later he engineered a prison break, which resulted in.

the freedom of Hamilton. Pierpont, Clark, Makley and five other convicts. A week later Dillinger was arrested and Jailed in Lima, on bank robbery charge. On the night of Oct. 12 the convicts repaid Dillinger for his efforts in securing their freedom.

They murdered Sheriff Jesse Sarber in liberating him. Pierpont and Makley were captured with Dillinger in Tucson convicted of the murder of Sheriff Sarber and sentenced to death'. Clark, also captured in Tucson, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

A reign of terror spread throughout the middle west, centering, in Indiana.

All police of Indiana were mobilized by the governor. Three Indiana banks yielded $90,000. A Racine, bank was robbed of $10,000. A Chicago bank was looted of 58,700. Police identified Dillinger gangsters as the robbers.

Half a dozen other robberies were attributed to the gang. On Dec. 14 the second victim of the gang. Patrolman William Shankey, was shot to death Chicago when, he attempted to arrest Hamilton. The; search for i the gang centered in Chicago, prisons, which lie eharae- Dillingcr and a woman companion, terized as "schools of crime." for negro reported Dillinger was' in the vicinity.

All highways in that area were blocked and the occupants of automobiles leaving the district closely scrutinized. Dillinger, if the negro told the truth, slipped through the closely-drawn lines. 1 A week later police raided a Chicago apartment where Dillinger and two companions, one a woman; had lived from March 4 until a few days before the raid. Dillinger was believed to have had a plastic surgeon remove a mole' and scar on his chin. On March 31 federal officers, who had joined in the search, raided an apartment in St.

Paul. Three of the gang, one of whom may have been Dillinger, shot their way out of the trap and escaped. Dillinger 's fingerprints were found in the apartment. Police described Dillinger the most dangerous criminal alive. Orders were issued to shoot him on sight.

The gangster boasted after his capture at Tucson that lie never would be captured alive again if given the remotest chance to shoot his way A legend of daring, cunning" and ruthless cruelty grew up around Dillinger. In Crown Point jail he saw that he had embarked upon a course from, which there was no turning back. The end. ho recognized, must be the hands of officers armed with guns or jn the electric chair. He blamed "biid company" and shot their way out of a police trap.
