challenge of free world democracy In the new democracy there will be a place for everyone-the worker the farmer the doctor the salesman the taxi driver the preacher the engineer all the millions who make up our modern world Outlines 4 Points In order to accomplish this Wallace said there must be: 1 A vigorous and workable world compact to disarm aggressors and insure world peace through economic cooperation backed up by a new world court to settle disputes which otherwise would lead to war 2 An international court presupposes some kind of world council so that whatever world system evolves will have enough flexibility to meet changing circumstances as they arise 3 Any such organization must confine itself to broad principles which affect the whole world leaving each country or region the freedom to deal with purely domestic or regional problems 4 Plans made now while the war is raging for speedy conversion of industry back to peacetime operations so that every person who gave up a

following instructions backed out of the room hands up and was taken others followed and there was no struggle They were Touhy and Edward Barlak" At that point Hoover smiled and remarked that the only jurisdiction was for draft evasion except in the case of Banghart machine-gunner for the mob as it was constituted in the roaring prohibition era who was wanted on a previous federal conviction with 36 years to run for a $100-000 Charlotte NC mail robbery The boys had neglected to register for the draft after they broke out from Joliet Touhy Dyes Hair Touhy had dyed his curly black hair peroxide blond The others were easily recognized by the men who had circularized the nation for their capture since they shot their way over the walls of the Stateville Penitentiary at Joliet 111 last Oct 9 The hair-trigger leaders surrendered with a docility in marked contrast to the resistance of two of their henchmen Eugene Lanthorn Alias and St Clair (Baby Doll) Mclnemey These men were surrounded in

Hoover explained Lanthorn the FBI director said was one of the most vicious and ruthless criminals in the country He was a thief at '12 and at 15 while handcuffed he swam a swamp and escaped from police His left arm was paralyzed from bullet wounds The captures began at Minneapolis on Dec 16 with Matthew Nelson a 40-year-old lifer who scrambled over the Joliet wall with Touhy After the gang had in Chicago Nelson went out and got drunk When he came in Hoover said the gang whipped him the worst punishment a man can They beat him into a pulp with the butts and barrels of their guns as A lesson not to endanger them again by his predeliction for liquor After that Nelson and the gang separated and Nelson went to Minneapolis where he was captured in a hotel sleeping peacefully with a pistol under his pillow Touhy and Banghart were sleeping when the agents entered their rpartment The third man whose arm was in a sling was awake but offered no resistance and the trio was taken without a shot being fired A half hour later while more than a score of agents guarded the FBI office in a downtown building the captives were led into the building through an alley entrance and taken into the locked office The others who escaped with Touhy and Banghart from State-ille were William Stewart 43 serving life as a habitual criminal Mathew Nelson 40 serving life for armed robbery and

erroneous to assume that the ration will be about three one-pound cans a month They pointed out that a large number of factors have to be taken into account for example that some types of canned foods are much more popular than others Rationing authorities they aid presently are engaged jpthe complex job of computing the values of hundreds of individual canned items nd this task was not expected to be completed before the end of January In Great Britain where rationing of canned foodstuffs has been in force for more than a year the value is computed as much on a popularity as on a weight basis The total number of available there each month is 24 Some items such as canned salmon which are particularly popular as much as 30 To Lower Consumption It was assumed that a similar elastic supply and-demand system cf fixing values will operate in this country also with values vaiying from period to pe-liod as demand increases or decreases Rationing of canned goods to restaurants hotels and other institutions will be designed to make consumption cuts proportionate to those imposed on the general public officials said The method employed will be approximately the same as that already used for coffee and sugar Restaurants will be required to declare their steel of canned foodstuffs already on hand At the same time they must make returns of the amounts con sumed during December On basis of this information and in lght of the prevailing supply situation restauiants and other in-titutions will be allotted a fixed percentage of their previous consumption FRENCH JOIN (Continued From Page
