Gary Cooper in "Sergeant York" with Walter Brennan Joan Leslie Added Joys Latest Superman in Paramount News Bulleteers ther liquidation of the Norris gang has been accomplished by the arrest of one of its veteran gunmen and the young brother of its leader, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced here last night. The announcement followed disclosure in Washington by FBI Cheif Edgar Hoover that Taylor Marshall Whichard, 32, had been caught in Chicago and Jen Paul Norris, 21, was held at Ada, Olda. Thomas Nelson Norris, leader of the gang and older brother of Paul, is still being sought, the FBI said. Hoover said Whichard was apprehended in a restaurant July 11 and Norris was arrested in Sulphur, Okla.

Two days later. Neither resisted. Whichard acknowledged participating in eight armed robberies, one bank robbery, one kidnapping, one burglary and the Texas prison delivery which released the older Norris, Hoover said. Hoover said Whichard, is now wanted in several states, had served sentences in Florida' and Pennsylvania. The FBI said the Norris gang was a successor to the "Sonny" while resisting arrest in Hot Springs.

The next day Pete Norris was seriously wounded by officers who trapped him at Rogers, Ark. Young Paul was arrested tnere then but later was released. Pete Norris was returned to Houston, and received sentences for murder and robbery aggregating 396 years. Meanwhile, in Fort Worth in 1937 Wichard was given a 99 year sentence for robbery with felonious assault. Sent to the Texas penitentiary, he escaped April 21, 1941.

On March 16, 1942, the older Norris and six long term prisoners were delivered from the Texas state prison farm at Midway, Tex. and the FBI chief said Wichard and young Norris did it. Two months later the J. C. Penny company messengers were robbed of $3,000 in Fort Smith and Whichard was named in a federal complaint charging unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Then about two weeks later came the April 4 robbery of the Kress company messengers in Little Rock, netting about $2,700. Federal complaints named all three of the men in connection with this case. FBI records show Paul Norris was arrested by Houston, Tex. police several times on burglary and (heft charges and once was given a five year suspended sentence. FBI agents said Whichard was being hold in lieu of $25,000 bond and Norris $10,000 pending their removal to Arkansas.

Both are charged with failing to register for selective service and with violating the federal firearms act, the FBI said. Both also are charged with unlawful flight in connection with the Little Rock Kress robbery and Whichard additionally with the unlawfu flight in connection with the Fort Smith Penny robbery, the agents declared.

"I have seen children in Spain living on grass and nettles, grazing like sheep," says Miss Bonney, whose documentary photographs taken on a grant from the Carnc- fiio Corporation, are graphic evidence of her words.

"Spain is three years ahead of Europe on the road to starvation, she said, after being caught between their own civil conflict and the present world struggle. Never a highly productive country, Spain's agricultural products could not possibly feed her population and then too much of her orange crop and her oil is bought by the Germans. Certain sections of Portugal are already beginning to know what serious louu snorlage means. Bitter lessons in the effects of vitamin deficiency are evident in the plight of French and Spanish children. Miss Bonney tells of seeing small children and gaunt parents dying of starvation.

At Tabernacle France Also Hard Hit Hundreds of Spaniards, weak and desperate, trek sixty miles over into Portugal and back, just to smuggle a Joafof bread, Only too often is it taken away from them if they are apprehended as they cross the border.

Take any day in the House of Representatives or Senate when OPA funds, sugar and gasoline rationing, or any one of half a dozen other things dealing with price control are under consideration, and you will be convinced that it is open season on Henderson. Not in my day on the Washington scene, and I'll take the word of a lot of old timers tjyit not for a long time before that, has any government official been so consistently blistered from so many sides as Leon Henderson. There is no better way of citing the attacks and counterattacks than of quoting Rep, Wright Patman, Democratic Representative from Texas, and member of the House Banking and Currency committee that questioned Henderson for plains "there Is always a chance that someone will get hold of an extra something, some hiddne or forbidden fruit.

But in the guarded camps, far from towns or centers, there is no chance for anything beside the dreadfully small rations. "The hope of every interned Spaniard is that he may be sent to some Western Hemisphere haven. The Mexican government has led all American nations in its efforts to provide transportation and sanctuary for the exiled panish and to date has brought over to Mexico some thirty five thousand from camps in France. The U. S.

Committee for the Care of European Children is making constant efforts to bring some of the orphaned camp children to this country permanently. So far the number is pitifully few, owing to meager ship- pins possibilities. Without dairz products or fats and oils for cooking, Therese Bonney points out, the nutritious value of vegetables available is very low.

Mr.

Patman prefaces his re- makrs with the declaration that he had never seen or known Henderson before he appeared before the committee. He had only heard of him. "The reports," he says "were not all good." 'It has been told here, and i has been charged on the floor by a good, honest, conscientious mem ber," said Patman, 'that he (Henderson) was going under an alias. 'It has been told that he was an alien, born in Russia, with a name as long as your arm, the last three letters being s-k-y.

G-MEN IN ACTION CHAPTER IX TNSIDE the letter addressed to John Dexel, Clyde Dawson found a white slip of paper bearing a set of fingerprints. Accompanying it was a brief note: "John," it stated simply, "these are Statler's prints. I believe you will find the thumb print corresponds with the print found on the filing cabinet. Paul." Paul? That didn't take much was Paul Dexel, the corpse-mutilator he had captured in North Sydney. But how and when had Paul managed to post the letter with the fingerprints obviously taken from the hand? Dawson shook his head angrily.

He was getting of course, Paul Dexel had mailed the letter aboard the Caribou before debarking and it had been sent to the North Sydney post office. Outside, a siren was sounding and an auto screeched to a stop. Hurried stepped backward again and opened the door. Four men were there, the leader a keen-eyed young man of about 28. He looked, at the battered, disheveled investigator.

"Glad to see Dawson," the latter identified himself. "Please have a man guard this fellow and the woman, send another to the storeroom at the top of the second flight of stairs, and you accompany give you a lull explanation shortly," The G-man followed him upstairs where Dawson led him directly to the door of the room containing the charts and radio apparatus. It was locked, Dawson probed for his keys in vain then applied his shoulder once, twice the third time the door gave way, "Take a quick look around, please he beckoned, "you have my word there's a gang here you'll be interested in. Right now I'm desperately anxious to get down with you to the War Supplies that nab the other member, a girl who seems to be missing." The War Supplies Department was a good four miles away. The G-man's badge rushed him through an inquiry desk man into the Personnel Ofiice.

"We want to see Miss Carol Fiske immediately," Dawson said. The manager looked up at the staring men: "Miss Fiske is not at sent a note to her local manager stating that her mother had taken suddenly ill last evening and that she was taking a night train. Miss Fiske did not say where she was going!" J)AWSON, although dog-tired and aching in every joint from his strenuous ordeal, enjoyed seeing the G-man machine in action at close range. The agent in charge accompanied him directly to the Eddington Hotel from the War Supplies Ofiice and checked over the credentials Dawson had stored. "Everything is apparently quite in order," smiled the G-man, "although my department will be quite insistent on demanding a reason for you not reporting." Dawson nodded.

"Quite right," he agreed, "except that I had no way of knowing whether I was merely tracking down an unfortunate love affair or sniffing into something big. Tonight I hoped to find out definitely at the limestone house." "Uh-huh, I guess I would have done the same thing," the other agreed. "However, let's rush back to the happy little homestead and see what's cooking with our Heinle pals. I'll phone our bureau from there to speed through a description of the girl on our teletype system and have you by any chance seen a photo of her?" "There's one hanging on her bedroom wall upstairs." "You certainly did get around that house. I'll use the picture lor a wirephoto release.

Thus, we should have her picked up wherever she has gone "Maybe she hasn't left town at all," mused Dawson. The G-man's eyebrows lifted: 'That's quite true. I'll also notify the Chicago police." On their way back to the limestone house, Dawson completed the story, omitting nothing. "Sounds like a Boris KarlofE movie," the G-man remarked, 'but there is no doubt you've been dealing with a tough bunch of least, they WERE tough. That house looked like a casualty clearing station during a blitz raid when we arrived you must feel that you've squared accounts?" Dawson's face was expressionless.

"Not yet too many of my pals have been killed by these Hun vermin to date to leave me satisfied so easily. There's the girl, and, I'm sure, several other undercover workers in the gang bent on playing havoc with the Ferry Command." AT the house Dawson marveled to see how the place had been transformed into a hive of activity. The filing cabinet bad disclosed invaluable data including corre- spondence of an incriminating type with a number of persons. Wireless experts were testing the receiving set and already recording incoming Two had already been English from "amateur" senders. But the messages were obviously coded and decoders were breaking them down.

"Here's an interesting message we picked up, sir," one of the agents said. "Some amateur in, northern Maine chatted at this wave didn't even move a expecting a headachy weekend with four old college pals motoring in this morning and three other friends having shown up the night before and, from the looks of it, wouldn't be surprised if the parade continues during the next two days. It strikes me as curious that he should so suddenly be deluged by touring friends Dawson drew the head agent aside: "That's an easy one to figure out. If the sender is in northern Maine he is likely spotting Ferry Command planes en route to Newfoundland from Montreal 'But why would they detour over Maine?" "You entertain a popular delusion, my friend," Dawson replied. "There's no detour entailed.

Take a look at that map up on the wall and you'll note a straight lina from Montreal to eastern foundland cuts across northern Maine. He's telling this branch that three planes flew over him last night, four more this morning and good flying conditions are indicated for two days thus a big weekend. Right?" "Sounds logical," the G-man affirmed. "This is really developing into something. By playing possum and leaving our men on the job around here we should eventually pick up leads to most of the organization Two other agents entered, half- dragging a frightened and sour- visaged man of about 40 between them.

"Says his name is Sammy Bullock, sir. He drove up to the rear in a he was to pick up a packing case "Check," cut in Dawson. "Thera was a Sammy supposed to pick up a packing my body in it.
