JP) Mops and brooms have replaced revolvers and sub-machine guns in the hands of a group of "gun molls" who roamed over the country a few months ago with gangs of criminals. Behind the brick walls of the new federal detention prison here are the erstwhile girl friends of some of the nation's most notorious desperadoes, many of whom have come to grief in their encounters with the law. Among the inmates are Evelyn Frechette, companion of the late John Dillinger; Kathryn Kelly, wife of George "Machine Gun" Kelly; Winona Burdette, 21-year-old radio entertainer'who became the consort of Alvin Karpis, current Public Enemey No. 1 and Dolores Delaney, 22, companion of Harry Campbell, one of the Karpis mob. Overlook Bleak Farms Little word from the outside world reaches the isolated prison, and little comes out.

Most of the barred windows of the quadrangu- lar prison look out over 2,000 acres of bleak farm land, but from one side the housetops of the sleepy little village of Milan can be seen. City of Tents At ThirtPeth St. Grounds Last night it was a vacant lot. By noon today it will be a peripatetic city of tents unfolded a page from the Arabian nights and tuned to a symphony of billowing tents, rumbling red wagons, rhythmic sledge hammers and jungle beasts roaring defiance at civilization. That's a cross-section of tse kaleidescopic pattern which Hag-enbeck-Wallace and Forepaugh-Sells Bros.

Combined Circus is weaving today at Thirtieth street and Broad avenue in preparation for performances at 2 and 8 p. m. The long silver and scarlet trains were arriving shortly after dawn and half an hour later the show grounds was teeming with action. The canvas community Is comprised of twenty tents, including the mammoth big top which weighs seven tons in canvas alone; cook and dining tents, sideshow top, stables, blacksmith shop, hospital, dressing tents and the men agerie top which quarters the world's largest travelling collection of wild animals. There are thirty cages, twenty-nine elephants, herds of camels, zebras, llamas and dens of rare tropical birds in Hagen-beck-Wallace zoological displays.

Circus features for 1935 include Bert Nelson, youthful king of the big cage wherein he puts through their paces the largest group oi mixed jungle-bred lions and tigers in all circusdom; Mile. Maria Rasputin, European wild animal trainer and daughter of the famous Russian "mad John Helliot, veteran subjugator of jungle beasts; the renowned Chris-tiani family of somersaulting bareback riders; "Cheerful" Gardiner with five herds of performing elephants; Rudynoffs educated horses; a galaxy of aerial stars headed by the Flying Codonas, the Aerial Hills and Jeanette May, intrepid trapeze artist; scores of clowns, trained sea lions, dogs, ponies and stupendous opening spectacle "Oriental Fantasy" which promises a riot of circus color with hundreds of people and animals participating. A group of Indians from the Pawnee Bill ranch also are to be seen with this great show. Doors will open at 1 and 7 p. an hour before each performance, to permit leisurely inspection of the wild animal menagerie.

For the convenience of the public, a downtown ticket sale has been established at Sitnek Drug Store, 1302 Eleventh avenue, where re served seats and general admission tickets can be purchased at the same prices prevailing on the snow grounds. Noble Post Band to Play At Brookville The James L. Noble post No. 3 band and tank will go to Brookville, for a mammoth Flag day celebration planned by post 525 of Brookville, June ac cording to plans made at a regular meeting of the post Tuesday nisrht. Harry Smail, commander of the Brookville post and district commander of the 27th district to- eether with Post Adjutant R.

F. Bennett, Officer of the Day VanShields and J. Neiswanger and C. F. Evans, post trustees, were present at the meeting of the local post and asked support in the Flag day celebration.

Robert J. Puderbaugh, assist ant district attorney of Blair county and judge advocate of the Noble post will be the speaker at the event, Mr. Smail revealed. Mr. Puderbaugh was invited to be the chief speaker by personal invitation on Tuesday night and accepted.

The event will include a parade, competitive drum and bugle corps drills, drill teams and other entertainment features. All Legion posts from that section of the state, Commander Smail said, together with numerous Elks drill teams will be in Brookville for the occasion. Among the Elks teams present will be the coun try's championship drill team of the Reynoldsville B. P. O.

The Noble post members agreed to send the band and tank to Brookville in return WATOR McADOO Bruno, Strained After Four Hour Grilling Denies Guilt Likens It to Measures Utilized at Time of French, German Money Destruction WASHINGTON, May 15 (JPh-Likening the Omnibus Banking bill to measures utilized at the time of the destructive German and French inflations, Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the Chase National bank, predicted today that if all its powers were used the "practical value of all social security legislation" could be swept away.

In as severe a denunciation of the bill as has yet been made, Aldrich, with several aides grouped about him, told a senate banking sub-committee the bill was "potentially despotic" through its centralization of authority over credit and currency In the federal reserve board. The system, he said, would be "set up without check or balance in law and with few restraints in fact." Reading rapidly from a lengthy prepared statement, Winthrop was Interrupted only a few times, principally by Chairman Glass who agreed with most he said. "This bill is a measure not of security but of insecurity," Aid-rich asserted, "for the exercise of powers freely granted under it can wipe the practical value of 'Gun Molls' The Burdette and Delaney wom en, captured when Karpis and Campbell shot their way out of police trap in Atlantic City last Jan uary, were brought here secretly April 1 from Miami, where they had been sentenced to serve five years for harboring Karpis. Supt. John J.

Ryan, former school teacher who became a penologist 26 years ago, said he would not an nounce to what duties they would be assigned except that they would be subjected to the usual discipline of the prison. Keeps Them Busy In Fields The prison was built in 1933 at a cost of $360,000, and is constructed around a hollow square. The cell blocks are light and well ventilated. Ryan's objective is to restore his prisoners to a useful place in so ciety, and he tries to keep them I busv in the fields as much as the weather permits. "A little fresh air will often do more than a lot of preaching," he once remarked.

The strong walls and intricate machinery of the prison do not en- courage the gun molls to dream of freedom. The place is considered escape proof. he had was for protection in his raids as county detective. ne purcnasea ammunition wholesale quantities, he said, for hunting purposes. The dynamite found in his house, Bruno explained, was brought there by his sister and was to be used in excavations for sewers but he said he had not seen the explosive.

Bruno said he was in the second floor hallway during the shooting and though he heard about 40 shots he saw none fired from his house. He related he went to the second floor to telephone for state police after a snot was heard outside and a stone bounced on the roof. Gallagher demanded an explanation for this in view of the admission that there was a telephone downstairs. Bruno replied that he was "afraid" downstairs. His daughter, Alveda, 18, confirmed the testimony of the telephone caHs, saying she placed them herself and that her father talked.

Corroboration was added by Miss Ruth Pfeil, Hazleton telephone operator, who said three emergency calls were placed at the Bruno home that night, one to the sheriff's home at Coaldale and two to the state police at Tamaqua. Democratic Club Opens Member Drive Opening a membership drive to make the total roster of the club more than 2,500, the Young Democratic Club of Blair county last night sponsored one of the most successful card parties ever held at the Penn Alto hotel.

Wagner Bill Fight Opens In Senate WASHINGTON, May 15 Backed by labor elements and a strong liberal faction in congress, the Wagner labor relations board bill today was given a baptism of senate debate in which its author contended the NRA alone was not able to guarantee collective bargaining. Democratic leaders had hoped the measure, shelved last session in favor of a stop-gap proposal, would be passed to-morrow to permit weekend adjournment, but so many extraneous matters intervened after the opening speech of Senator Wagner (D-NY), the author, that more was found necessary. Opponents had little opportunity today to express themselves.

The New Yorker declared the measure was "responsive to the ominous industrial disturbances of last summer when blood ran freely in the streets and martial law was in the offing." Senator Costigan (D-Colo) said the bill "embodies the best recommendations of the ablest industrial leaders of America as well as leaders of organized labor." Wagner declared the bill, which sets up a permanent national labor relations board with power to order elections to choose collective bargaining representatives under the majority rule and lays down five "unfair labor practices" for employers, was designed "to promote industrial peace." "It Is a matter of record," Wagner argued, "that one of the most prolific causes of strikes has been the failure to apply to industry generally the rule of industrial democracy underlying the conference method. At least 25 per cent of labor disputes in recent years have resulted from denials of the procedure of collective bargaining." Asserting the anti-trust laws and the Clayton act to protect labor from injunctions had failedWagner said the NRA was "totally un-suited to the enforcement of Section 7A (collective bargaining clause), which is a mandate of congress, which becomes a crucial Issue in the very cases where it Is most flagrantly challenged and which like all analagous laws of congress must be vindicated by a judicial process." "The confusion of the voluuntarily submitted fair practice provisions with section 7A," he said, "has put the recovery administration In the untenable position of conciliator and prosecutor at once. Not only has Section 7A been lost in the shuffle, but the recovery administration itself has suffered from the misplaced burden." Thousands Throng Shopping District As thousands of shoppers thronged into the business dis trict yesterday for, the quarterly Dollar day they were met, not only with the unusual bargains of the local stores but ideal weath er throughout the day as well. Shoppers waited for the stores to be opened yesterday morning and throughout the day all buy ers seemed to take particular ad vantage of the special bargains. Summer dresses and other wear for the coming warm spell seemed to head the list In volume of sale and garden Implements, seeds and other seasonable goods followed closely.

Many of the cases also developed into pneumonia, he reported, In making requests that pneumonia vaccine be rushed north. Shipments of such vaccine were flown from Fairbanks to both Point Barrow and Wainwright and Dr. F. B. Gillespie, of Fairbanks, and two nurses were still at Wainwright today.

OLD GOLD and SILVER VtTV PAY TUB HIGHEST PRICES. WE ARE LICENSED BY THE GOVERNMENT A. BERMAN JEWELER OPTOMETRIST 1311 ELEVENTH AVE. Hears Aldrich, Bank Leader, Banking Bill all social security legislation off the slate, and make benefits granted to the aged or the unemployed mathematical expressions only." He said the bill, by granting the reserve board six powers, including one to "dilute the currency" and another to "force the reserve banks to engage in whatever open market operations it may decree," did not liberalize the reserve sys tem but made it over "into an instrument of despotic authority." After recommending a score of changes, including one to reduce the membership of the reserve board from eight to five by re moving the treasury secretary and controller of the currency as ex-officio members and one appoint ive member, Aldrich ripped into what he termed the "three ex periments that misfired" and said they "left behind them a vast amount of explosive material which some future effort may set off." The three administration "experiments" he listed as failures were the open market policy or purchase of government obligations by the reserve banks, the devaluation of the dollar coupled with the purchase of gold at prices above the old gold parity, and silver buying. None of them, he contended, had achieved the object set out for it, to "accomplish a higher price level by manipulating credit and the currency." Wallace said the first thing he knew "about this pilgrimage was in the press from Texas." He added: "The second was a call from Ed O'Neal who said the farmers were coming up from Alabama and he wanted an appointment for them with the President.

The third thing I heard was at when a Missouri Pacific agent told me that farmers from Louisiana were coming up here." Connally told Hastings he was motivated by a "foolish idea he can gain some political advantage" while the Delaware senator said that Connally was "tryng to put on a show" for Texas farmers in the gallery.

Sowers, Philadelphia Republican, sponsor of a state lottery bill before the general assembly urged its enactment today to "take off the relief rolls from 30,000 to 50,000 persons." The bill received favorable committee report in the house last night and was approved after preliminary consideration today. It would provide a commission of seven persons to conduct the lottery. Twenty per cent of the proceeds would be devoted to the state treasury 75 per cent to prizes, and five per cent to expenses. "The state lottery bill," Sowers said, "gives a quick solution to unemployment relief. It would take off the relief rolls from 30,000 to persons; it will make 000, and finance old age pensions, blind pensions and mothers' assistance; take some taxes off business; stop the prospective taxing of churches and, if a complete success, remove the school taxes on real estate; stop official corruption and establish honesty where dishonesty now prevails." AUKERMAN BILL APPROVED HARRISBURG, May 15.

(IP) A bill introduced by William M. Aukerman, Blair Democrat, to authorize acceptance of a fidelity bond in lieu of surety bond from tax collectors in second class school districts was passed by the house today and sent to the senate. for what the members of that post have done for the local group, the leaders said. TAKES IT EASY Republicans Question Source Of Funds for Mass 'Farm' Trip ui iur ii ii ii xnaj v- denial of guilt that withstood hours TDrtTTaiTTT tt Unu 1 A of challenging came today from Joseph J. Bruno, former county detective accused of murder in the Kelayres slayings the night before the November elections.

Completion of his second trial before the end of the week appeared probable. The defense, which opened Monday, closed shortly after 3 p. and the commonwealth devoted an hour and a half to rebuttal. His first trial for one of the five slayings consumed more than four weeks and resulted in a manslaughter conviction. Three murder indictments are against him in the current trial.

Six others accused in the killings are awaiting trial. Bruno swore to his innocence of shooting and to uttering threats, both contradictions of the testimony of commonwealth witnesses. He testified he "did not fire a shot and was not in any of the second floor bedrooms." He said he could not account for the presence of rifles and shotguns in a side bedroom where state policemen said they found the weapons. Bruno showed the strain of his four hours on the stand and several times made vehement answers to the insinuations of James J. Gallagher, assistant prosecutor.

Gallagher asked the defendant if it were true he had been bitter toward some of the victims and had made speeches against those opposed to his political leadership in he mountain communities of Kline township. Bruno said he made no threats snd that he did not say any more han Attorney Gallagher did when he was in that section making political speeches. He identified some of the rifles, shotguns and pistols found in his homi and denied seeing others. He explained he purchased numerous weapons for his sons to use while hunting and that an automatic rifle Would Refuse Time of War Asserting repeal has brought a moral let-down, both private and public, Dr. Clyde Lynch, president Lebanon Valley college, told delegates the W.

U. will carry on its battle. "The W. C. T.

U. is not dying and is not dead, but its forces are carryine on as loyally as ever," he said. "You have not lost the war because of repeal. Instead you have lost only a battle." He asserted both the "wets" and the "drys" have won "breaks" in the battle against each other. The "drys," because of the stress war, put the prohibition act through when perhaps it was not time for it, he said, adding that the "wets" won repeal because of lack enforcement and the need for revenue.

Mrs. Black charged repeal is a "failure" and warned that the W. T. U. is prepared to bring about return to prohibition? She said she has faith In the young people of today.

"Flu" Epidemic Scourges Point Barrow Region WASHINGTON, May 15. (IP) A bitter senate clash over sources of funds for the mass farmer demonstration praising the AAA today brought an assertion from Secre tary Wallace that he would "wel come an investigation of the farmers trip to Senator Hastings, Deleware Re publican, demanded the information on money in a senate resolution after expressing resentment at President Roosevelt's denunciation of the "high and mighty" who were "lying" about his agricultural ad justment program. Hastings' resolution would have Wallace supply all correspondence about the meeting of 4,000 farmers and a report on whether the gov ernment furnished transportation costs. "This is a direct reflection on the farmers," shouted Connally (D-Tex) and Hastings retorted with a denial it was a "reflection on these people who have been getting money from the administration for doing nothing." Hastings said he expenses of the farmers were' being paid "directly or indirectly by the government." Connally quickly termed ifis resolution "an insult to the farmers" Implying an "embezzlement of the funds of the United States" by Wallace with the farmers as a party to the conspiracy. He urged an immediate vote on the resolution so "detectives can get out their searchlight's and see if the farmers have left anything." Hastings said the haste to vote was "of course an effort to kill" his esolution.

McNary of Oregon, the Republican leader, objected to an immediate ballot. Wallace made his remark at a press conference, saying he knew of no communications between his department and AAA officials with farmers concerning the farm assemblage. Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator, interrupted to say field agents had been warned not to participate in plans for the march. "We expected something like this would happen if they did," Davis laughed, referring to Hastings' xesolution.

WW47, 1 ilii I II I mm I 1 SEATTLE, May Medical science's battle against the "flu" germ, cause of oft-recurring epidemics the world over, found a new field of action tonight at Point Barrow, Alaska where a sudden scourge already has claimed at least 15 lives. Sensing the "importance" of any new epidemic, two Philadelphia physicians, Dr. Horace Pettit and Dr. Sergeant Pepper, arranged to leave Newark, N. by plane late tonight in a dash calculated to take them to the ice-bound arctic coast in well under 100 hours.

By air to Seattle, by ship to Juneau, and again by air to Fairbanks and Point Barrow, the two University of Pennsylvania bacteriology experts will rush to the scene of the arctic outbreak. The epidemic there offers an un usual opportunity to gain valuable new information for that long-sought "cure" medical men here say. Disease epidemics among natives, unused to civilization's ways, are always apt to be particularly virulent. All but one of the Point Barrow dead were natives. Dr.

Henry W. Grlest, heroic Presbyterian medical missionary Whatever was happening in the senate banking committee when this picture was snapped, it apparently didn't interest Senator William Gibbs McAdoo of California.
