MIGHT PARDON WANTED FOR DILLINGER Petition Is Being Signed by Citizens of Mooresville for the Bandit. FEENEY IS AROUSED Mooresville, April ditional pardon which would permit John Dillinger to take up life as an ordinary citizen is request-; ed- in a petition to the governor bearing the signature of many Mooresville residents, fellow townsmen: of the long-sought bank robber, jail-breaker and suspected killer. Dillinger finds many persons! friendly to him in this county community where his father, John W. Dillinger, resides, and the petition is growing as citizens add their names. Announcement that amnesty is being sought for the outlaw came after it was revealed that Dillinger and a girl friend had spent a week end unmolested visiting the outlaw's family at the farm home near here on April 7 and S.

The petition urges that the Indiana governor issue the pardon to Dillinger on condition that he surrender to the nearest legal authority and agree to abide by state. laws and. discontinue association with law violators. Seven clauses in support of such action form part of the request, one of them citing the pardon issued Frank James, Missouri bad man who later became useful and respectable citizen." Indianapolis, April 20. though John Dillinger, bad man, has paid visits to his father's home near Mooresville, and even attended a family reunion there, the home was not under surveillance of the Indiana state police, it was learned yesterday.

However, a detail of police was on duty in the vicinity for a while. Al G. Feeney said, but later was removed. The safety commissioner interviewed John W. Dillinger, the desperado's father.

and abont a dozen Mooresville citizens vesterday and reported afterward that he was convinced that the bandit had attended the family reunion. Mr. Feeney also roundly criti-! cized Mooresville residents, chargI ing that they would not cooperate with police by reporting the ence of Dillinger in the commun-! ity. He characterized the public attitude toward Dillinger as "anti-social." The Dillinger farm is surrounded by roads on three sides and entrance is possible from any one of the three, according to Mr. Fecney, A guard placed in the Vicinity would be practically useless, he said, because Dillinger could gain entrance to the farm from one road while the guard was watching another.

"It would take the entire state police force to watch the farm properly," Mr. Feeney declared. a Tribune Want Ad. ICE CREAM For the little informal parTipton Delicious Ice Cream always an added pleasure. Once tried, always liked.

MUST PAY 1 PER CENT Indianapolis. April Russell Ryan, in Marion county superior court yesterday upheld constitutionality of the Indiana gross income tax law in a decision on a suit filed by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Judge Ryan also ruled the state could collect the retail rate of 1 per cent on Standard Oil sales made to customers. The oil company had maintained that it was a manufacturer and hence was entitled to a rate of 14 of 1 per cent on its income from all sales. Yesterday's decision followed a ruling in Marion county earlier this month in which laundries were declared taxable at 1 per cent, instead of of 1 per cent las they had contended.

A suit contended that job printing is manufacturing and taxable at the lower rate, regardless of whether the sale is made to the consumer, is scheduled for trial in Judge Ryan's court April 25.

AT CHICAGO YARDS Chicago, April federal court order yesterday blocked enforcement of a sharp reduction in rates paid for handling live stock at the union stockyards. The reduction, established by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace in February, was' to have taken effect today and, would have slashed income of commission houses and handlers approximately per cent. In the appeal fought by 160 commission firmest was contended that the new sched would make it impossible for? em to live up to their NRA LAA codes. Federal Judges Samuel Alschuier, James H. Wilkerson and John P.

Barnes issued a temporary injunction restraining Secretary Wallace from enforcing the order. The government's contention was upheld insofar as the judges ordered the difference in the amount of rates must be deposited in escrow with the federal district court clerk pending hearing in June. as to whether the injunction should be made permanent. Any merchant who failed to comply with this provision would be automatically excluded from protection of the injunction, the court ruled. The lower rates were ordered by Wallace after a hearing on complaints from the American National Live Stock Association that fees were unreasonably high.

FARMERS OIL Made Right" Living Room Prices May Advance A Whole Year to Pay Suite Barrum 1 "A Bible and a Newspaper In Every Home" -said Benjamin Franklin, whose death April 17, 1790, we remember this week.

If you asked the founder of a great library sys. tem what reading matter you should place in your home, you might expect him to hand you a sizable list of books. But old Ben Franklin, father of the free library system of our country, being a man to put first things first, might have looked over the top of his glasses at you, and repeated "a Bible and a newspaper in every home." Franklin himself was printer and publisher and an advertising writer. He recognized, as you do, that good advertising is NEWS. Back in 1780, when a ship came to port with a consignment of: India shawls and some merchant announced this in the newspaper, you may imagine that that item meant more to the ladies of the day than the usual chronicle of somebody's cow "lost, strayed or stolen." An editor gathers up the news from all corners of the globe, just as a merchant gathers up his stock of goods.

Then the story of both is carried in the newspaper. Both mean a great deal to every reader.
