armed with machine guns and pistols, was taken by Detroit police as an indication that John Dillinger, escaped gangster, may be operating in the Detroit area. The precision with which the robbery was conducted lent credence to the theory that It was the work of the notorious Dillinger. who was the object of a gigantic manhunt 10 doys ago after the fatal shooting of Herbert Youngblood. his lail- brenk accomplice, in Port Huron. Further evidence of their boldness come in the form of a warning shot as the bandit car drew away.

Sure of Their Ground The holdup men were apparently familiar with the methods of money handling at the office, the victims said, and It Is believed that they expected to get a large amount of cash. Actually, the sum obtained was in checks, and virtually worthless to the bandits. In accordance with custom, George M. Kurry, of 227 Connecticut Highland Park, an assistant cashier, stepped from the freight office at 7350 Orleans to place the envelopes containing th checks on a Chicago-Detroit patsengcr train which carried them for transfer to a bank. was accompanied by a special officer, William Cohrs, 2263 Maxwell when a mud-covered sedan drew up, two machine guns sticking from its windows.

Two men. carrying pistols, alighted, demanded and seized the envelopes containing the checks, and re-entered the car which then sped down Orleans St. The manner of departure was taken by police as an indication that the holdup men were strangers in the city. The street leading from ma scene is so narrow tnat a car approtching from the other direction would have blocked escape. Shot Fired from Car As the bandit car left a shot was fired from the rear.

Herman Santell, of the Holdup Squad, said. Meantime, several picked men, under the direction of Inspector William Collins, were combing the City. That Detroit police have not relented in their search for the notorious criminal who recently escaped from the Crown Point (Ind.) Jail was also manifest by the fact that Jack Cramer, of Dayton, an officer who once arrested Dillinger, has been In Detroit, quietly scouring the city with a crew of picked officers in a reserve fiver. It was also learned that Detroit police have been informed that a woman, said to be Dillinger' wife, and a companion, said to be the woman who visited him before he walked to freedom from the Crown Point Jail, had intended to visit Detroit. Another occasion for police watchfulness was the sentencing of Russell Clark, Dillinger gang member, to life imprisonment for the killing Plrnsc Turn to Payr 2 Column 3 Fall from a Curb Kills Human Fly CLEVELAND, March 26 (U.

Frank Wilmore could look down on the world from a twentieth story window and laugh. He had no fear. Dizziness he never knew. For many years Wilmore, a window washer, had defied death daily, hanging precariously above the streets on the outside walls of high buildings, trusting his life to a safety belt. Today he was dead with a fractured skull.

But he didn't fall from a skyscraper window. He stumbled off a six-inch street curb.

Motorists in Trouble Automobile clubs and garages were anticipating hundreds of calls from motorists unable to get their cars away from snow-bound curbs and were making preparations to aid them. They got some practice Monday night at the Red Wings-Maple Leaf hockey game at Olym- pia where dozens or cars were tin-able to get under way without assistance.

"I want to bring Gogo here, for he has been in our family for many years, and it would be fun to have him," said Mrs. Rennert.

His letter The text of Mr.

Roosevelt' letter follows: "Before I leave Washington for a few days holicfay, I want to write you about a matter which give me some concern. "On Feb. 8. 1934. I sent to the Congress a special message asking for ederal supervision of national traffic In securities.

"It has come to my attention that more definite and mora highly organized drive Is being made against effective legislation to this end than against similar recommendation made by me during the past year. Letters and telegram bearing all the earmarks of origin at some common source are pouring in to the White House and tha Congress. "The people of thi Country are, in overwhelming majority, fully aware of the fact that unregulated speculation In securities and In commodities was one of the most Important contributing factors In the artificial and unwarranted 'boom' which had so much to do with the terrible condition of the years following 1929. Cltea K.arly have been definitely committed to definite regulation of exchanges which deal In securities and commodities. In my message I stated, 'it should be our national policy to restrict, as far as possible, tha use of these exchanges for purely speculative "I am certain that the Country as a whole will not be satisfied with legislation unless such legislation has teeth in it.

The two principal objectives are, as I see It: "First, the requirement of what is known as margins so high thai, speculation, even as it exist today; will of necessity be drastically curtailed; and "Second, thn the Government be given such definite powers of supervision over exchanges that the Government Itself will be able to correct abuse which may arise in the future. "We must, of course, prevent insofar as possible manipulation of prices to the detriment of actual Investors, but at the same time we must eliminate unnecessary, unwise and destructive speculation. "The bill, a shown to me this afternoon by you seems to meet the minimum requirements. I do not ee how any of us could afford to have it weakened in any shape, manner form."
