(Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press.) Clyde Barrow, notorious Texas outlaw, and his cigar-smoking gunwoman, Bonnie Parker, were ambushed and shot to death near here tod 7 In a I sensational encounter with a posse led Dy a Louisiana sheriff and an old-time Texas ranger. The law-mocking desperado, whizzing along the Jamestown-Sailes road, a little used highway, ran right into a trap set for him, after having been lured into the state by a relative of an escaped convict, promised him protection. Before he or Bonnie Parker could get their guns into action, the officers riddled them with bullets. Barrow's car, running wild, careened from the road and smashed into an embankment. As the wheels spun, the posse continued to fire until the car was almost shot to pieces.

The body of the lunman, who four years ago was a minor hoodlum scarcely known outside of Dallas, was found slumped behind the steering wheel, a revolver in one hand. Still Clutched Gun Bonnie Parker died with her head between her knees. She still was clutching a machine gun. "We killed Clyde and Bonnie at 9:15 this morning," reported Ted Hinton, one of the Texas officers, to the sheriff's office in Dallas. "They were at Black Lake, a hideout we had been watching for weeks." Fred Hamer, former captain of the Texas rangers, who had been waiting in the brush or days for Barrow to come by on his regular run, added: "Clyde and Bnnie did not get to fire a shot.

Their car was full of guns and ammunition, but they did not get a chance to use them." Barrow had been lured into northwest Louisiana through arrangement with officers, for what he thought was a rendezvous with an underworld friend near Ringgold. A relative of an escaped convict and former member of Barrow's southwest gang, working with the authorities, had promised him protection at his home. As the officers fired, Barrow opened a door of his small gray sedan and attempted to raise his gun. So did Bonnie Parker, but both were shot before they could pull the trigger. Arsenal in Car In the wrecked car were three army rifles, two sawed-off shotguns, a dozen pistols and large quantities of ammunition, besides Bonnie Parker's machine gun.

The bodies were left temporarily in the automobile awaiting the coroner's arrival. Then the officers towed Barrow's car with the bodies into Arcadia. Barrow's head was hanging out the window and the woman's body was bent as if she had been trying to duck the officers' fire. Throngs of curious residents came to view the car. With Hamer and Hinton in the ambush near here were B.

M. Gault, highway patrolman; Bob Alcorn of Dallas county, Texas, and Louisiana officers. Sheriff Jordan of Bienville parish said he h-d received a tip that th First National bank of Arcadia was to be robbed on Wednesday or Thursday and immediately had notified Texas officers. Barrow came from Benton, yesterday afternoon and passed through Gibsland, about 4 o'clock and again this morning, Jordan said. Jordan and his deputy, Paul M.

Oakley, were waiting at the top of the hill with the Texans. Mother Cries In Dallas, Mrs. Henry Barrow, mother of Barrow, cried in anguish. "I prayed only last sh sobbed, I might see him allva just once more." Barrow's father, working at his filling station, west of Dallas, made only one remark. He said he guessed his wife would be going to Louisiana.

Bonnie Parker's mother, Mrs. Emma Parker, also a resident of Dallas, fainted when informed by telephone of her daughter's death. Bit by bit, Hamer and his aides had pieced together a map of the highways Barrow was in the habi of using. Several weeks ago they barely missed the outlaw and his companion in this same section. Since then the officers had' been "sitting and waiting." Barrow, whose custom was to shoot at the drop of a hat and to escape in high-powered automobiles, was wanted in several states for charges ranging from small thefts to murder.

He was accused of killing a dozen, nen, most of them officers. Bonnie Parker, wife of a convict, was charged by officers with having taken an active part in most of Barrow's recent crimes. She, too, was known as vain and boastful. Several times she was photographed with her belt weighted down with pistols. Slain Pair Were Sought In Dozen Killings DALLAS, May 23.

(A.P.) Clyde Barrow, quick shooting "cop hater," and his gunwoman companion, Bonnie Parker, had blazed their way out of several police traps before they ran into their last ambush today in Louisiana. Sought in connection with at least (Continued on Page 2) Associated Press National guard troops rushed toward Toledo last night to quell a riot that Taged for several hours and apparently was out of control of local authorities. Some 3000 strikers and their adherents stormed the plant of the Electric Auto-Lite company in a barrage of bullets, bricks, stones, and tear gas. Eight persons received hospital treatment and others were hurt. One woman, a telephone operator, was grazed by a bullet.

Shortly before midnight a fire broke out at the gates of the plant. Company officials estimated that damage to the plant had reached $75,000. The strikers held prisoner some 1500 employes of the company, preventing them from leaving the plant. Four companies of guardsmen were en route after the sheriff appealed to the governor for aid. The mob broke into a parking lot of company employes and began smashing automobiles.

Refuse To Accept The striking truck drivers at Minneapolis refused to accept a proposed settlement by the national labor board but agreed to extend for another 24 hours the truce that was to have expired last night. There were no disorders but three regiments of national guardsmen were at hand to prevent disorders. The strike, In which an embargo against commercial trucks has been enforced, has caused riots resulting In one death, injuries to scores. Troops on Way to Toledo To Halt Strike Disorders TOLEDO, Ohio, May 23. (A.P.) Ohio national guardsmen were converging on Toledo tonight, ordered oy Adjutant General Henderson to end riotous disorders in a strike at the Electric Auto Lite company plant here.

Fifteen hundred workers have been Imprisoned In the plant for nearly 12 hours by a crowd of 3000 strikers and sympathizers. Sheriff Krieger, In charge of police and deputies at the plant, said that he had only a small supply of tear gas bombs left to keep the crowd from the factory doors. The troops were called out after eight persons had been sent to hospitals and scores of others had received minor Injuries. A small fire in the shipping room of the plant added to the confusion late tonight. It was extinguished under difficulties by firemen.

Cause of the fire was undetermined. Company officials asked that fire apparatus be stationed at the plant after two automobiles had been overturned, saturated with gasoline and fired. The automotive workers have been on strike for five weeks, demanding a "10 percent wage increase, recognition of their union and priority rights. Officials of the company tonight offered to submit all the questions involved to the Detroit auto labor board for mediation. Temporary Strike Trace Extended MINNEAPOLIS, May 23.

(AJ.) Extension of a temporary truce in the truck drivers strike was agreed upon tonight at a St. Paul conference with Governor Olson by representatives of the strikers who receded from their demands for immediate demobilization of the national guard. Under terms of the truce which would have expired at 9 o'clock tonight, no commercial trucks save those previously agreed upon will move for another 24 hours and the strikers pledged Governor Olson their cooperation in averting a resumption of violence and rioting which cost one life and caused injuries to 100 men and women since Saturday. Shortly before the armistice extension was agreed upon, the employers announced they had signed and accepted the regional labor board's decision designed to end the strike. A mass meeting of unionists In (Continued on Page 3) Will Rogers: BEVERLY HILLS, May 23.

Not long ago the ex-ambassador to Germany, Jimmy Gerard, said there was 50 men running the country. Now they say they have let 49 of 'em go. So naturally we have those 49 ex-country runners all on our hands and dissatisfied. You can't let people out, no matter for what good reason, and have them go away bragging on you. I don't suppose there is any business with as many unemployed as the "advising" business.

What gets these big fellows' goat is, Roosevelt listens to 'em all, but they can't tell whether he is paying any attention or not. Yours, WILL ROGERS.

Though police said they were ad vised the youth was a son of Curtis Gandy, reputedly wealthy resident of the eastern cities, his family connections could not be immediately estab lished by available addresses.

"Mv wife ureently demanded the speaker give his name," police quoted Gandy as adding, "and she was greeted by a strange laugh." Idenification of body was accom- Dlished throueh the national bureau of identification to which San Fran cisco police sent the fingerprints.

(Associated Press) Congress decided today the federal government, through the reserve banks and the RFC, should be in a position to give at least a $440,000,000 financial lift to private industries. The house, after shunting aside a score of amendments to let the new loans cover everything from cities to private schools and hospitals, finished two days of hard work by passing and sending back to the senate the administration's industry loan bill. The senate had approved a bill fixing the maximum total RFC five-year loans at $250,000,000 and limiting the amount the 12 federal reserve banks could advance to $280,000,000. But the house discarded the senate provisions and inserted its own, which increased the RFC total to $300,000,000 and cut the reserve bank maximum to $140,000,000.

The senate will send the bill to conference for a compromise of the differences. Immediately after passing the industry loan measure, the house took up another administration bill that DostnoninK the nermanent deposit in surance plan until July 1, 1935. Leaders expect to pass that tomorrow. Six Changes Made The house made only six consequential changes in the industry loan bill. They would: Allow the RFC to lend up a total of $75,000,000 to school districts which can offer good security.

Stipulate that the federal export-import-banking corporation shall submit annual reports to congress. Eliminate a senate requirement that corporations seeking loans must first aDnlv to the federal reserve DanKs before taking their application to the RFC. Reduce the limitation on maximum individual FRC loans from $1,000,000 to $100,000. Authorize the RFC to recognize fishing as an industry for the pur pose of helping fishermen with some of the $300,000,000 the measure au thorizes for loans to small industries. Allow individuals and partnerships as well as corporations to borrow the RFC if they are in the business of mining, milling or smelting ores.

(A.P.) Departure of a number of household servants from John D.

Petite Jean Batten, who refused to quit trying after two failures, today made a new aviation record for women by completing a flight from England to Australia in 14 days, 23 hours and 25 minutes. The 24-year-old New Zealand girl brought her old wooden moth plane, which has been in use for nearly five years, down at 3 p.

m. local time to cut four and a half daj's off the old record, held by Amy Johnson, wife of Capt. James A. Mollison. "I had an adventurous trip," she said.

"The weather was frightful throughout. Where can I get a cup of tea?" On the last stage of her trip, across the Timor sea, headwinds blew her plane miles south of the course, she said, but she managed to bat'le through and had no difficulty in finally locating Port Darwin. Miss Batten, who acted as her own mechanic on the trip, said her plane functioned perfectly all the way. She planned to leave tomorrow for Brisbane, but will not attempt to fly to her native New Zealand, she said, because her machine does not have sufficient range to cross the Tasman sea, a distance of 1200 miles. Navy Planes To Explorer LOS ANGELES, May 23.

(Associ ated Press) Roaring across the equator, two navy planes from Coco Solo, Canal Zone, today completed a 1000-mile flight to Tagus Cove of the Galapagos islands with medical aid for William Albert Robinson. American explorer stricken with appendicitis. Safe landing of the planes was re ported by the Mackey Radio corpora tion here in a message relayed from the lonely 'uatorial archipelago by a fishing trawler that for two days has been standing by the 32-foot round-the-world ketch on which the explorer is confined. Naval surgeons who flew from the Canal Zone at dawn this morning were prepared for an immediate op eration. Since Sunday night Florence Crane Robinson, Chicago heiress and socialite bride, has main tained vigil by the bunk of her bridegroom in the tragic interruption of a honeymoon that started last June when the little craft sailed from New York.

The quickly executed flight, accomplished with the aid of two destroyers Proposes To Hold Congress in Session WASHINGTON, May 23. (Associated Press.) A senatorial demand for a shake-up in the NRA, backed by a proposal to hold congress in session until it was done, was set up on Capitol Hill today against counter claims of accomplishment for the recovery imit. Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, a leading congressional critic of the effect of NRA on little business, told the senate "it seems to me to be an obligation upon us as a congress to decline to leave until assured these infamous abuses will be eliminated." He referred to his allegations that the recovery administration fostered monopoly to the detriment of the small business man. The recovery administration and the white house withheld comment but Senator Wagner, democrat, New York, who cooperated with the administration in working out much of its industrial recovery legislation, voiced a defense of the NRA in the senate close behind Nye's biting criticism. "The new deal," Wagner told the senate, "has accomplished too much to fear destruction by its enemies." Sees Merit in Criticism The administration senator, however, bespoke the merit of criticism.

"It can suffer," he said of the NRA, "only if its friends clothe it (Continued on Page 2) Bolivians Claim Paraguayan Defeat LA PAZ, Bolivia, May 23.
