A one story addition comprising 10,000 square feet of floor space will be built on top A of present five story struc- t-. ture at Diversey and Crawford, built in 1927.

WALTER OLSON. The new construction has been ON dered, according to to Olson, as a re suit of perfection of a new process for fabrication of floor coverings. Experimental looms are now being built for installation in this space and will be used exclusively for test purposes. A section of the new unit also will be used for laboratory projects in the creation. of new weaves, improvement of old ones and research with dyes, wools, and yarns.

Work is scheduled to start at once by the Lundolf-Bicknell company from plans by Weiss Niestad; architects. Completion is set for May, 1936. The cost, it is asserted, will be approximately $25,000, plus $15,000 foi special looms and laboratory equipment. The building of this additional unit marks another step in the development program initiated in 1927," said Olson. Thus far our expenditures and commitments total around $475,000, including the $415,000 unit just completed.

We've never hesitated to continue with this program at any time during the depression, for I'm a firm believer. in the fact that while we can't gain prosperity merely by spending we can do so by building. The construction and durable goods industries are the ones that need the greatest help." Tentative plans call for the landscaping of the five acres west of the new addition as a center of public activities, with the possibility that it may be made into a park. Continuing his ten year progra American rug in dustry, Wa 1 Olson, president of the Olson Rug company, yester- day a oun eed plans for the en largement of the No.1 mill of that t'-'. concern.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of Sept) 13 three bandits, each of them armed, rushed upon a girl cashier carring 81,600 in currency and cheep near 453 West 63d street.

They opened fire upon her escort, Patrolman Samuel H. McDowell of the 4ng1ewood station, and shot him twicq. Patrolman McDowell, gray ely wourided, drew his gun, shot the leader of the gang as he sought to wrest the packet of money from the girl, then drove the other two gunnien from the scene with bullets.

F033 his heroism Patrolman McDowdll has been awarded THE TRIBUNE hero prize of $100 for the month of SOtember. A 50 year old veteran of the departnient, McDowell was assigned to escort Miss Beatrice Cunningham, 29 years old, a cashier in the branch office of the Prudential Life Insurance 'company, 453 West 63d street, from the office to the First National Bank of Englewood, a short distance (Iowa the street. Miss Cunningham carried a packet of checks and currency. They started east on 63d street, McDowell a few paces behind the girl. At the southwest corner of 63d street End Eggleston avenue, while crowds milled past on all sides, a car containing three men drew up near the curb.

The men, all with guns, leaped from the car, and one of them hurried directly toward Miss Cunningham and seized her by the throat. McDowell drew his pistol and sought to fire, but he could not shoot for fear of wounding the girl. Open Fire on Policeman. The other two robbers opened fire on the policeman. One bullet struck him in the hand and another penetrated his right side.

He stumbled forward, half falling to the sidewalk, but managed to brace himself on one Miss Cunningham for a free from her assailant. McDowell, seizing his chance, opened fire and dropped the bandit to the sidewalk with four bullets in his body. The man's companions fled to cars parked at the curb and from behind them renewed their fire on McDowell. He returned their shots, and one of them lurched suddenly, as if wounded. The third man dragged him into the car, and the machine sped away.

MCDowell, managing to walk, saw Miss Cunningham was uninjured. Patrolman Timothy Ryan of the Chicago park police, who had heard the shooting, came up and took charge of the wounded bandit. McDowell went to a nearby doctor's office and summoned the squad car. The octor was out and he returned to the street, hailed a passing and was taken to St. Bernard's hospi Recovering at Home.

The woundcd bandit was taken to the sz-c3me hospital, where he died. He was identified as Walter Schmidt, 37 years: old, a former tavern owner. He had been involved in two previous robbeties. Patrolman McDowell was found to have been wounded above the right kidney. He is now recovering in his 6349 South Morgan street, but will not be able to resume his work the department for several weeks.

Michael Tobin, commanding the 15th district, said: Officer McDowell rneriti careful consideration for his intelligence, and strict attention to duty, and for exceptional bravery under fire.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, Nov. 16.C4D)Three Croats charged with complicity in the assassination of King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia, more than a year ago, will go on trial Mon. day. Police said today they viewed the accused menMio Kral Zvonimir Pospechil and Ivan Rajtich as merely gunmen hired by persons who desired to change Europe's peace treaty frontiers by violence.

Their lawyer, Georges Desbons, hired by Pittsburgh, Croats, asserted his clients are patriots living only for the liberty of Croatia." See Natlon Issue Settled. The defendants are expected to settle, by their testimony, the question of what nation, or nations, aided the Ustachi terrorist band, to which they belonged, in plotting the death of the monarch when he arrived at Marseilles for a visit to France. Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, was slain at the same time. Hungary stands accused by JugoSlavia at Geneva of harboring the Ustachi group, but has steadfastly denied the charge. More than 500 mobile guards were brought to the scene of the trial today as a warning was received from police of other countries that Ustachi terrorists seldom reach court alive." Three on Trial in Absentia.

The alleged leaders of the band, Dr. Ante Pavelich and his assistant, Eugene Kvaternik, as well as Yvan Percevitch, alias Gustave Perchetz, will be tried in absentia on the same charges as the imprisoned triocomplicity in the assassination and association with known criminals. Pavelich and Kvaternik are in jail at Turin, Italy, although no formal charges have been lodged against them. The Court of Appeals there decided the assassinations were political crimes, and denied France's request for their extradition. Italian authorities declared France had refused to extradite 42 Italians wanted for offenses against the state," and so would not extradite the two refugees to France.

Sanctions against Italy by France and 50 other nations, because of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, have only reinforced the Italian stand.

FIGHT ON MARIJUANA Washington, D. Nov. Progress in the fight against the narcotic marijuana was reported today by Commissioner II. J. Anslinger.

Anslinger said wide acreages of Indian hemp have been destroyed recently in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, California, and Georgia. While many states have laws designed to suppress the growth and cultivation of the narcotic, there is no federal law controling it. Federal agents cooperate with state and local authorities, however, in detecting marijuana cultivation, cigaret making, and sales. "Murders and other crimes of brutality," Anslinger said, "are often committed by those addicted to this narcotic." Emphasizing that Indian hemp, or cannabis, is "a roadside weed throughout the United States," Stuart Fuller, assistant chief of the division of far eastern affairs of the state department, also stressed dangers of marijuana. He added that in the case of this and other narcotics adequate penalties promptly enforced," provide safeguards.

Completion of the entire modernization- program is expected within seven months, Dr. Hayden said. WAGE EARNERS' COST OF LIVING RISING STEADILY During the last week the real estate bond market in Chicago has registered a slight rise in prices and shown increased activity, probably somewhat due to coincident activity in the stock market. As established earnings become apparent, there a prompt reflection in both the demand for and price of various real estate issues, according to a local broker. Greater availability of information on current income and expenses of various properties will tend further to help prices, it was asserted.
