TWO EVEMNC STATE JOURNAL LINCOLN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1938. CAPTURE TEXAS TRIO, HAMILTON RELATIVES New Alliance of Gang's Survivors Believed Halted at Outset. SAN ANGELO, Tex. (UP). Two men and a woman, captured by a west Texas posse and charged with armed robbery, were identified relatives or followers of the olt Hamilton and Barrow brothers gang--the worst of the southwest's modem outlaws.

Authorities believed that the captures had ended a new alliance of the old gang's 'survivors at its outset. The prisoners were Joe Carson. 24, brother-in-law of the late Raymond-Hamilton; Ollie Miner Smith. a police character and once a follower of the Hamilton Barrow gang, and a 21-year-old woman believed to be Marie Barrow Francis, sister of the late Clyde and Buck Barrow. All three had been living lately in daUas.

There had been no indication that they had teamed up and headed into the western part of the state, preying ground for generations of outlaws, until the posse of 40 men brought them to The posse vaa hunting bandits who took a car from a ranch woman after abandoning one stolen at Dallas. They caught the three suspects near Eden in Concho county. Will Fritz, Dallas police inspector, said that Mrs. Francis, the "baby" of the Barrow family, and wife of a law-abiding Dallas man. apparently ran away with Carson when he returned to Dallas after completing a prison term for robbery.

Carson had been divorced by Audrey Hamilton, sister of the outlaw brothers. He and Smith teamed up in Dallas and Fritz believed, now that they were responsible for five robberies before they left there. WAGE AND HOUR PROBLEMS Ourley Say a Railroads Having Trouble Over Act.

The product itself may be turned out during only a few months of the year, but the factory runs all the time. It employs more than 4,000 persons and its operating cost exceeds $20,000,000 annually. The headquarters 'of this mass production unit ia the capitol, but he legislative establishment is more than a building where congress meets several hours a day during part of the year. It consists also of heating and power ilants and postofflees and police icadquarters and green houses and carpenter shops and even a railroad. Two men, the vice president of the United States and the speaker of the house, are charged with its administration.

But like other businesses, congress has a corps of lesser executives to keep he wheels turning whether laws are being made or not. Their work goes on, in session and out. and most of them have served in he capitol in one capacity or another for many years. A change of administration brings some switching of offices, but the ro.u- ine work of the capitol continues unshaken by elections. Five hundred and thirty-one of who draw salaries from the eglslatlve branch of the government are the senators and representatives themselves.

Of the remainder, about 1,525 are on the payroll of the house, 1,200 on the senate list and 870 work for the of the capitol. That does not include the employes of the ibrary of congress and the government printing office, nor the workers in the capitol. fet the library and printing of- ice are part of the plant, as well as two office buildings for con- jressmen and one for senators and he botanic garden. Some 1,300 employes serve as secretaries and clerks to senators nd representatives. The majority of the others are under the jurisdiction of the clerk and sergeant- at-arms of the house, the secre- ary and sergeant-at-arms of the senate and the architect.

The first our each draw salaries of $8,000 yearly and have broad executive luthority. The architect, along with the librarian of congress, Is appointed by the president for an ndefinite term. It has never been customary to change incumbents when administrations change. The senate officials are named -o serve "at the pleasure of the senate," which means until political control of that body changes. The house officials are elected for Lwo year terms, but their re-election is a routine formality until control of the house changes, Altho the house dies and is born again by election every two years, the technical break In the officials' tenure docs not apply universally.

A rule provides that the clerk of the previous session shall call to order the newly elected house and preside until a speaker Is chosen. A large part of tne year 'round work of the capitol consists In maintaining the huge plant. ICKES SAYTOJUTRONG (Continued from Page 1.) South American municipal officials. lakes, also administrator of public works, declined to commit PWA the financing of projects approved in local bond elections on Nov. 8.

Newsmen noted that many municipalities would hold local clcptlonn on that date on the question of issuing bonds for the local contribution of 45 percent of the cost of PWA projects.

(This policy set out that local bond Issues must be decided upon on or before Oct. 1 If projects involved were to receive PWA loans nnd grants.) "However, 11 Tckes nclded, "I do not want to commit PWA now on nny of these projects. The people should know what our stand is nncl for me now to tell them their election would be futile would be a kick in the face. We don't know, pvnbnbly many of those projects will be accepted and held over for subsequent financing." Icltes snfrt the federal government should take some action for bet tor protection of its oil resources, particularly view of the rearmament program.
