was I THE GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE Saturday Evening, May 2, 1936 Biggest Peacetime Naval Supply Measure Is Passed by House BATTLE ABOUT CAPITAL SHIPS Motion to Eliminate Construction Clause Is Voted Down, 212 to 73. BOOST ENLISTED RANKS biggest naval supply bill ever put forward when the nation was at peace- carrying $531.068.707 in new funds and conditional authorization for construction of two new super-battleships-late Friday was passed by the house after crushing down, by a 212 to 73 vote, a move to strike out the capital ship clause. The measure was propelled into an apparently favorable senate only a few hours after President Roosevelt indicated he might send to that branch shortly the new London naval treaty." He did not commit himself definitely, nor did senate leaders hold forth any guarantee of ratification at this session. Leads Noisy Fight To the surprise of the house leadership, one of the noisiest floor fights in two sessions of record army and navy supply bills developed under the generalship of Congressman Vito Marcantonio who centered his attack on the battleship authorization with a cry that "we are aiming for an imperialistic war." by Middle West Despitembers, he lost successive attempts to strike out the authorization. The bill then was approved without a record vote.

Result of Treaty The battleship clause, saying the two ships can be started, at 000.000 cach, if some other treaty power starts building similar vesgels, was written into the legislation at least as a partial result of the recently signed treaty between the United States, Great Britain and France. The treaty, if ratified, places no prohibition on laying down new capital ships between 17.500 and 35.000 tons. If not ratified, there is no ban on ships in any category. Great Britain yesterday disclosed plans for building 38 new warships, including two battleships of the maximum class. The authorization in the naval bill would enable the United States to match them.

In addition, the bill provides for 18 new smaller vessels, 333 new airplanes, and an increase in the naval enlisted strength from 93.500 to 100,000 men. The marine corps would be increased from 16,000 to 17,000 men. REPORT ETHIOPIAN RULER ON HIS WAY CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 1 uation was thoroughly examined. Delayed by Obstacles Fascist officials earlier, on receipt of reports the Italian advance had been delayed by fresh obstacles sought to check premature celebrations of the "fall" of the Ethiopian capital. Provincial leaders of the party were called to the Palazzo Litoria to receive final instructions for a victory "adunta" or mobilization.

Popular fascist eagerness to celebrate a climax to the sevenmonths-old war burst into the open in many cities last night, unconfirmed reports that Italian troops had entered Addis Ababa precipitating widespread demon- strations. Troops Slowed Down Simultaneously came news that Marshal Pietro Badoglio's forces had encountered unexpected hindrances in their efforts to provide the occasion for the real celebration. Dispatches from the front said the progress of the main motorized column, driving down the imperial highway from Dessye to Addis Ababa, was slowed down as retreating native defenders blasted great holes in the road. Landslides precipitated from the bordering mountains and tree trunks felled across the road, added to the difficulties. AWAIT CONFAB OUTCOME PARIS The Italian general stall is awaiting conclusion of secret negotiations with the Ethiopian government before its advancing northern army enters Addis Ababa, according to dispatches received here today.

Forty thousand troops under Marshall Pietro Badoglio, the Italian commander, are reported to have been ready to enter the capital since last night. Have Long Session The negotiations were said to have resulted in a long night session of the Ethiopian cabinet with Emperor Haile Selassie. The emperor reportedly urged resistance to the invading army. Most of his cabinet members and tribal chiefs were said to have demanded surrender and the abdication of the emperor. His cabinet's attitude reportedly caused Haile Selassie's flight from the capital inasmuch as he no longer could count on support from his troops.

Federal agents ended the crime career of Alvin Karpis here yesterday afternoon when they seized the nation's foremost public enemy in a dramatic coup, and placed him aboard a plane whisking him northward to answer for kidnapings, murder and robbery. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Department of Justice's bureau of investigation, who commanded the 20 federal agents who captured Karpis without firing a shot, had a number of choices as to the captive's ultimate disposition.

He is under indictment in West Plains, for the murder of a sheriff and in St. Paul for the Hamm kidnaping. In the Hamm case a of his associates already have been convicted and the government's case against him there is considered "air-tight." Hoover is Jubilant Hoover accompanied his agents and their prisoner on the quick, dramatic dash northward. He was jubilant at the newest coup of his department in its war on kidnapers and interstate gangsters. Karpis, Public Enemy No.

The G-men had gotten Machine Gun Kelly, Harvey Bailey, John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Barker and her infamous sons--some dead and some alive--and they had gotten him. Through mysterious channels. G-men learned Thursday that the man they wanted, who had been a phantom to them since Jan. 1, 1935, when he shot his way out of a trap at Atlantic City, was living in an apartment house on Canal street in New Orleans.

Early Friday, the Department of Justice chartered a twin-motored Douglas transport plane from the Transcontinental and Western Air at Newark, N. airport. Hoover, who was in New York when the information received, flew in it to Washington, where several of his lieutenants joined him. The plane then proceeded to New Orleans, arriving only a short time before the capture. 20 Agents Ready Meanwhile, orders had gone to G- men stationed in cities near New Orleans and when Hoover arrived 20 agents, armed with sawed-off shotguns, revolvers, and sub-machine guns, were assembled in the Department of Justice offices in the federal building there.

Little time was wasted. Hoover gave each man an assignment. Then all got into several cars and approached the apartment building from several directions. Each agent took up his pre-arranged post, under cover but instantly available. Less than an hour after the trap was set, Karpis came strolling out and crossed the sidewalk toward his automobile at the curb.

In a flash, G-men surrounded him and his arms pinned to his side. He couldn't have resisted if he had wanted, though he was unarmed. Other agents went into action at once. They went to the Karpis apartment and, after a struggle, arrested a handsome, 22-year-old girl, whose identity the agents VIRS. MINAHAN, LONG ILL, DIES Widow of Prominent Doctor to Be Buried Monday.

Calls In Reporters An hour after Karpis was taken to the Department of Justice's New Orleans headquarters, newspapers received a telephone call. A voice wanted them to send reporters over for "an announcement." The reporters found Hoovin town, sitting at the of er, whom no one had was known, Chief New Orleans Agent McGee. Smiling slightly, Hoover said: "Gentlemen, I would like to announce for the government that Alvin Karpis, your so-called Public Enemy No. 1, has been arrested by agents of the Department of Justice investigation department in an apartment on the first floor of a house at 3343 Canal street, this city." "Of course," he added, "he's never been our Public Enemy No.

1." He then handed each reporter a mimeographed sheet containing Karpis' complete criminal history. He was subjected to close questioning, but most of his answers were evasive. He said the federal agents had known "for two months" that Karpis had been "in and out of New Orleans." Hunter, he said, while not as well known as Karpis, was a desperate criminal and had participated, without Karpis, in the Garrettsville, mail robbery. While Hoover said Karpis had not been his department's "Public Enemy No. 1," he had, nevertheless, been sought with every energy the department could bring to bear for two years.

The department had offered 000 reward for information leadto his capture, the highest of ing its two outstanding reward offers. The postoffice department had offered $2,000. Harry Campbell, Karpis' companion in many crimes and in the Atlantic City coup when they shot themselves out of a trap, had a reward of 500 on his head. Robinson. Mahan Wanted Two other men are wanted badly by the Department of Justicethe last survivors of what once was a sizeable list of big time criminals.

These are Thomas H. Robinson, kidnaper of Alice Speed Stoll, and William Mahan, kidnaper of young George Weyerhauser. But there is no reward out for either. Karpis began his career as a petty thief, and was initiated into the big time criminal world in 1931, after his escape from the Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing, by the Barkers, Arthur and Fred. He soon became joint leader of the mob and with it is alleged to have participated in the kidnapings of Edward G.

Bremer, also a wealthy St. Paul brewer, and Hamm. Fred Barker and his mother. Kate, were killed by G-men in Florida in January, 1935. Karpis had been in their hide-out a few hours before the raid, and fled northward with Campbell to Atlantic City, where the unsuccessful trap was set for them several weeks later.

SEE CAMPBELL'S ARREST The search for Harry Campbell, suspected partner of Alvin Karpis in the $46.000 Garrettsville, mail train robbery, is "hot" and his arrest is imminent, Postoffice Inspector Sylvester Hettrick announced today.

John Brock, the "mystery man" brought here two days ago and also charged with participating in the robbery, was captured in sa, Campbell's home town, Hetrick said. Brock has sworn in affidavits that Karpis and Campbell were the Garrettsville holdup leaders. Only two alleged members of the gang which engineered the holdup last Nov. 7 in wild west fashion remained uncaptured. They were Campbell and a man known only as Sam.

Fred Hunter, the fifth suspect, was arrested in Karpis' hideout in New Orleans last night. The sixth man charged with the robbery, Grover Keady, was arrested in Tulsa several months ago, and now is in jail here. HAGOOD KEEPS MUM ABOUT HIS LEAVE CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 1 a consultant to Robert E. Wood, head of Sears, Roebuck Co. NO OFFICIAL WORD The war department said today that Major General Johnson Hagood, who has just assumed command of the Sixth corps area with headquarters in Chicago, had given no indication that he intended to resign his post.

Hagood was given his present assignment after being relieved of command of the Eighth corps area because of critical remarks he made before a congressional committee about administration reliet policies. Should Hagood resign, Brigadier General C. D. Herron, second in command of the Chicago area, would take Hagood's place temporarily, the war department said. Herron, as a However, officers explainedeneral would never be given permanent command of a corps area, as that assignment is commensurate with the rank of a major general.

CLAIMS CAVIL SOLD STOLEN OVERALLS James Gaecke Made Confession, County Police Report. Overalls stolen from a North Western freight train near Oconta by Tony Hansford and James "Red" Gaecke were sold last summer to workers on the new Wrightstown bridge by Ralph Cavil, Lawrence town assessor and filling station proprietor, according to a confession made by Gaecke yesterday afternoon to Captain Clarence Grognet of the county police, sheriff's officers and railroad detectives, with District Attorney Clarence J. Dorschel doing the questioning. Gaecke's confession, according to officials, implicated Cavil and Harold Bain, a neighbor, more deeply than before. Cavil was the "fence," Gaecke said, and Bain the payoff man.

Some of the goods were stolen "on order," Gaecke declared, according to officials. Cavil would tell them what he had a market for, and they would steal it. Gaecke said. Tires and an oil stove were "on order" at the time of their arrest, he admitted. Gaecke, Hansford, Cavil and Bain are scheduled for preliminary hearings in municipal court Monday.

Cavil and Bain are at liberty on bond, charged with receiving stolen property, and Hansford and Gaecke are being held in the county jail on charges of burglary.

The vote for Governor Landon in Massachusetts primary car him very close to the Represidential nomination, in the sense of delegates acbut rather in the sense of When some 77,000 Re- publicans out of about 000 voting on the presidential nomination take the trouble write on their ballots the name of Mr.

Landon, there no mistaking the meaning. There is vet a further S1gnificance, not generally Mark Sullivan Mark Sullivan sult. Here is a state, grasped, in the Massachusetts, the largest in New England, saying, as respects the Republican party, that they want the governor of Kansas for their presidential nominee. Mr. Landon did not become governor of Kansas, the most characteristic of farming states, without having policies and ideas which, in years past, would have been thought unorthodox.

by This turning manufacturing in west is made more striking by the fact that some eastern Republican leaders think that a good nominee for vice president would be Sena- tor Steiwer, Oregon. Farmer Is To Be the Base? To see this as merely an interesting incident in a geographical sense would fail to realize its deeper significance. Geographically, the condition would not be unprecedented, for in 1928 the Republican presidential nominee, Mr. Hoover was from California, and the vice presidential one, Charles Curtis, from Kansas. Both these, however, held orthodox Republican views about the tariff and other policies.

If this year Governor Landon gets the Republican presidential nomination, it a striking departure. It will be an acceptance by the Republican party of a changed conception of American society, one in which the farmer is to be the base, in which agriculture is to be the economic interest primarily taken into account. It we search the reason for the strength of Governor Landon everywhere, it will not be found in intimate acquaintance with his personality and views, for the people do not have that. Of all the Republican presidential possibilities, Governor Landon has made by far the fewest speeches during the pre-convention period. The one thing about Governor Landon the country has grasped is he stands for, and that, in his present position has carried out, economy, budget, and careful management, of the business.

the compublic, that Governor Landon's victory evoked, the most accurate and also the most terse, came, characteristically, from Mr. Landon himself: "It reflects something more significant than any personal factor. It should be regarded as an expression of voters' approval of an administrative record which seems to them in contrast to that of the New Deal." Success Not Yet Assured While the Massachusetts result and other factors bring Governor Landon very close to the nomination, his success is not yet assur- PROPOSE BOARD TO HANDLE CITY RELIEF CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 1 burse purely municipal funds is open to question. No change in methods or physical operation of the department is contemplated by the change, and sentiment was overwhelmingly for the retention of Miss Margaret Kunz as director. "I opposed Miss Kunz' employment, and she had a hard time 'selling' me on her work," Mayor Diener declared, "but in the last year and a half' she's done things over in that department, and I don't believe that there is a relief director her equal in the state of Wisconsin." Workers Decreased The staff in the relief office has been decreased by 13 persons since federal relief ended, Mayor Diener stated: the case load now stands between 400 and 500, and the number of cases per investigator has been cut in half from the former peak, permitting closer supervision, better meeting of needs and less chance for "chiseling." Councilman Walter Alt demanded to know what provision was to be made in case the WPA should be abolished.

His strength does not lie in delegates instructed by law for him or otherwise formally pledged to him. From that way of getting the nomination, Mr. Landon consciously refrained. In February he wrote that "I have declined to enter the primaries of any state because I do not wish to be put in the attitude of running for the presidency." As a result of this policy Governor Landon does not have anywhere near enough delegates bindingly instructed for him to insure him the nomination.

He has a considerable number of such delegates, in several states local Republican leaders entered Governor Landon's name in primaries and the voters voted, for him. In other states the voters have expressed merely informal preferences which are not necessarily binding on the delegates. Even in Massachusetts the deiegates are not legally or formally bound by the remarkable vote in favor of Mr. Landon. Throughout the country the bulk of the delegates claimed for Mr.

Landon are not legally pledged to him. He has a much larger number of legally pledged delegates than any other one candidate, but not enough, alone, to guarantee him the nomination. In consequence, the nomination of Governor Landon depends on the will of the delegates when the convention meets. Governor Landon, in his own self-restrained attitude early in the race, wished that the convention should be kept free to make its own choice, and that is will be.

(Associated Press still are concealing and Fred Hunter, a suspected bank robber. There Since April: 10 Karpis and the girl had lived in the apartment as Mr. and Mrs. Dward O'Hara since April 10, when Karpis is believed to have first come to New Orleans. Karpis had made at least two mysteriautomobile trips since then.

Returning from one, he was accompanied by Hunter. Federal men believe that he had gone to a distant city and with Hunter participated in a hold-up. Federal agents suspected him of using New Orleans as a base for a number of robberies. Federal agents, as usual, kept secret the source of the information that led to Karpis' arrest, but it was said authoritatively that a gossipy automobile salesman, Clarence Pucheu, known to his clients and friends as "Duke," had set afoot rumors that reached the G-men. Rumors circulated that Karpis' woman tipped off the federal agents for the $7,000 reward, but these, like scores of others, were without the least confirmation.

Soon after Karpis arrived in New Orleans, he went to the automobile agency where Pucheu is employed. Pucheu met him at the door. "Let's don't talk here," said Karpis, casting an apprehensive glance at the big plate glass windows looking into the street. Pucheu took his strange curtomer to a back room, where Karpis asked the price of a Plymouth sedan. Pucheu told him.

"All right," said Karpis, "I'll buy one." He began peeling $100 bills from a large roll. Makes Several Trips Pucheu thought that strange. A few days later, his customer had the car serviced for "a trip." Less than a week later, Karpis returned the car for another servicing. Pucheu glanced at the speedometer and saw that Karpis had driven almost 2.000 miles. "My," he said, "but you're a fast worker." "I'm the fastest worker in the United States," said Karpis.

Pucheu thought that even more strange. He talked about his customer to his wife. She suggested that maybe he was a gangster. They talked about the better known gangsters, and one or the other suggested that maybe he was Karpis, They talked about it with their friends and relatives. One night, while out driving.

they saw the Plymouth parked in front of the Canal street apartment house, and they told their friends that the man they was believed Karpis was living on Canal street. "Why don't you tip off the G- men and get that reward, Duke?" said Mrs. Pucheu. "I think I will." Spread All Over City But Pucheu procrastinated. Meanwhile, his gossip had resulted in rumors that spread all over New Orleans.

As early as Monday, persons strangers to the Pucheus and their circle of friends, had heard that Karpis was in the city. Thursday the report reached the G-men. Yesterday afternoon, Karpis was taken into custody. So fast and secretly did the G- men work that many of Karpis' neighbors in his apartment house hide- out knew nothing about it until hours later: A half hour before the capture, a woman living on ground floor looked out her window and saw a federal agent standing behind a tree, a sub-machine gun in the crook of his arm. "Who are you?" she asked, leaning out the window.

"Stick your head back in the house, lady." said, "or you're likely to get hurt." New Orleans police knew nothing of the trap. Excited neighbors telephoned them when it was sprung. They were indignant that the federal men had invaded their The hurdles remaining in front, of Governor Landon arise largely out of the mere fact that he is so near the prize. As it has been put by the wise old sage of Governor Landon's state, William Allen White, of Emporia, who is strongly friendly to the governor, "The dog with the bone is always in danger." Governor Landon, for five weeks until the convention meets, will be carrying a bone much desired by others. Other candidates and their followings may generate hostility to him.

One possible hurdle lies in an attitude that may develop on the part of Senator Borah and Senator Borah's following. When the convention meets, the party leaders and delegates will look forward to the ensuing campaign between the Republican nominee and Mr. Roosevelt. If leaders and delegates think Senator Borah's followers have generated such hostility toward any one candidate that they might not support him election, the convention would take that factor into consideration. So far, Senator' Borah and his following have not shown any special hostility directed personally against Governor Landon.

But it is inherent in the situation that this may develop. the convention meets platOn the other hand, by time the form is written, Governor, Landon's views will be fully known. When known, it will be found that Governor Landon does not differ seriously from Senator Borah on perhaps as many as four-fifths of the principles about which Senator Borah holds strong views. About the integrity of the Constitution, the independence of the courts, anti-monopoly, and farmrelief--on these, at least, Governor Landon and Senator Borah do not greatly differ.
