Toledo, Ohio, March 8 (AP) The long battle of Toledo authorities to halt the underworld activities of the notorious Thomas Licavoli gang reached a new climax today when the county grand jury Indicted him and 12 alleged associates in connection with four gangland slayings. The 13 men were charged with having murdered Jack Kennedy, beer baron, July Louise Bell, Kennedy's sweetheart, November 30, 1932; Abe Lubitsky and Norman Blatt, October 6, 1931. Those indicted besides Licavoli, were Joseph English, Leo Moceri, Jacob Sulkin, John Miravella; A. Ernest La Salle, Russell Syracuse, Ralph Carsello, Harry Leonard, James Licavoli, a cousin of Thomas, John Rai, Anthony Beasase, and Sebastian Lupica. English, already convicted in the Kennedy slaying, is under death sentence at Ohio Penitentiary.

His appeal for a new trial has not been heard. An exhaustive investigation by Department of Justice agents, city police and special investigators preceded the grand jury's action. Licavoli has been a thorn in the side of Toledo Police several years. Driven with his gang out of Detroit, Licavoli bought a home in one of the best residential sections here, and although long suspected of underworld activities, he escaped any real difficulty with the law until Lee N. Murlin, then Assistant United States District Attorney, convicted him of conspiracy to violate the liquor laws.

An appeal of that conviction is pending in the Circuit uouu or. Appeals at Cincinnati, and Licavoli has been at liberty on Dona. CAPTIVE BALLOON PASSES; RADIO FOR NEXT BIG WAR With two-way radio connection with the ground now an established fact on transport planes, the next war will be fought without the aid of captive balloons, according to James McDevitt, former World War balloon observer, who spoke last night to members of the Phalanx Fraternity at the Central Parkway Y. M. C.

A. on his war experiences. Citing the expense of war, he told of the cost of one afternoon's work when 165 shells, valued at $100 each, were fired in a Meuse-Ar-gonne engagement under his observation for the batteries at work. At the close of the day, he said, his $10,000 captive balloon, with its sustaining $10,000 worth of hydrogen gas, was shot from under him in flames, bringing the cost of his afternoon's work to $36,500. McDevitt said that up until the closing six months of the war it was considered poor sportsmanship for an enemy aviator to fire at an observer after he had "bailed out'' and was dropping to the ground in his chute.

An American ace, imbued with the idea that a war was going on, started the custom of shooting down the floating German observers and the German airmen promptly retaliated, McDevitt said. QUTET DAyVn STRIKE. One Firm Signs Up And One Be-port Of Violence Is Made. Contracts with the Dye House and Dry Cleaning Drivers and Cleaners, Dyers and Pressers unions were signed yesterday by the Clifton Dry Cleaning Company, 3410 Telford Avenue.

BAD CONDITIONS FOLLOW IN WAKE OF PRISON REFORM "Long-haired men and narrow-minded women, preaching a gospel of reformation in an effort to make prison conditions better, have pampered convicts until it is now a question as to who is going to win organized society or the convicts." The foregoing statement was made yesterday by Captain Robert "Bob" Bunge, World War hero and member of the Prison Research Bureau, Cincinnati, in a talk before members of the American Legion Luncheon Club at the Netherland Plaza. In his talk Captain Bunge told how prisons are built to withstand the trickery of the incarcerated criminals. I "Some of the institutions have whole gangs who resort to everything from trickery to bribery in an effort to escape," he said. "For this reason dependable persons have to be employed in the prisons." E.

A. Munyan, President, HE Entertainment Com- mittee of the Qucen City PlnVi loot rJfrVf rviv1 "A ft one of the traditions of Cincinnati's oldest and most distinguished club when it presented an evening of music of which Mr. Dan Beddoe was the soloist. The ancien regime recalls similar musicales when some of the brilliant soloists and artists of world renown appeared here, Mr. Bed-doe's glorious voice which each year seems to grow in beauty and vigor, giving him a fitting place among these immortals in the world of music.

As an interpreter of the great tenor roles of oratorio he stands first in his generation. As a singer of songs his position is scarcely less high. Mr. Beddoe has won his eminence In the field of oratorio through an exceptional versatility. In his complete and beautiful program last night, this Welsh tenor sang with splendid fire and again with exquisite delicacy.

His diction in all these songs was a thing to admire. It was not only this, but his voice sounded as fre3h as it did in his famous performances at the great Cincinnati May festivals and countless other occasions. As Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Mr. Anthony D. Bullock was the official host of the evening.

Assisting him in these ageable responsibilities were his Vice Chairman, Mr. Leonard S. mith and Mrs. T. J.

Davis and Mrs. W. J. Fuller. In a few well-chosen words, Mr.

Clifford Ramsey Wright introduced the artist of the evening. Mr. Wright's family, especially his mother, have so long been patrons of music, that it was a happy chance that as a Vice President of the Queen City Club, as well as a close friend of Mr. Beddoe, he was chosen to make this presentation. As a festive preliminary to the music, which was enjoyed in the stately men's lounge, which for this occasion was transformed into a music room, many of the guests came on for dinner at the Queen City Club.

Mrs. Beddoe, of course, shared the honors of the evening with Mr. Beddoe. She wore a gown of black net, the top of the bodice beaded and embroidered in gold and silver. With this she wore one of the new evening capotes, which accentuated her lovely 'expression and happiness in the success of this concert.

Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Davis assembled one of the most interesting and appreciative groups of the evening, which included Mr.

and Mrs. Bayard S. Kilgour, Mr. and Mrs. William F.

Wiley, Mr. and Mrs. Polk Laffoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton S.

Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Dana, Mrs. Harrison P.

War-rener, Mr. Charles Deppe, Mrs. William Howard Cox and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R.

Clark Jr. Mrs. Davis was a charming and youthful figure in her printed frock of field flowers on a black background, which emphasized her fair coloring. Mrs. Kilgour was one of the beauties of the evening, her frock being of heavy chartreuse satin crepe, caught at the shoulders with brilliant clips.

Mrs. Wiley, always a gracious and distinguished figure, wore a gown of black bagherra, the high shirred neckline caught at the shoulders with sparkling fan-shaped clips. Mrs. Laff oon's gown was of wine-colored satin, which suited her well. Mrs.

Mrs. Cox wore a black gown, her shoulder cape of net being finished with a band of silver beads, and looked extremely chic. Mrs. Jesse R. Clark Jr.

was frocked in black satin, in pierrot ruff of tulle edged in black sequins, forming a frame for her distinguished head. Mrs. W. W. Carver looked like a lovely pastel in her frock of aquamarine crepe.

Mrs. T. J. Conroy wore a frock of violet crepe, with ruby velvet bows on the shoulder, which suited her exquisite coloring. Seated near them was Mrs.

Carl Jacobs extremely youthful looking in her frock of black crepe, relieved by tiny ruffles of net on the bodice. Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley were among the most distinguished of the guests, motoring down from Oxford especially for this concert, and accompanied by New York Waiters Say- conferring in city NRA headquarters, "and we'll gladly forget about the tips. "All we want is from $35 to $40 a week straight pay and let the diner keep the tip.

It's a degrading business anyhow." Meyer Orgel, Secretary of Waiters' Union Local No. 1, affiliate of the American Federation of Labor, also championed the plan, although he doubted the ability of the public to forget the tipping custom. "Sure, it's a great idea," he said, "but the public may continue to tip. If they do they're the losers not us so we'll take the chance." Men-about-town in the habit of tipping the headwaiters of leading restaurants and clubs to get a ringside seat would have to take their own chance with the rest under the plan, for headwaiters would be included in the no-tip scheme and it would be first-come-first-served at the tables. Before the NRA began, waiters depended almost entirely on their tips for their income.

At certain night clubs, patronized by pleasure-seeking folk with a reputation for giving big tips, waiters in the pre-repeal era paid for the privilege of working.

It was attended by approximately 100 reji-resentatives from the three cities and Middletown, Hamilton, Lima and Defiance. Representing the railroads, Hartley P.aldwin, chief engineer of the Big Four, said "Construction costs would be excessive and transportation costs by water would be no less than the present rail rates."

Experts Identify Strewl As Writer Of Little E's New York, March 8 (AP) Hotel and night club operators are considering a plan to abolish tippingand the waiters say they favor it. One supper club, atop the Park Central Roof, has tried the plan for several days and announced tonight that both waiters and diners were pleased. Now the only difficulty is to educate the public. "It's going to be a tough job," said H. A.

Lazner, the manager, "for American diners-out are so accustomed to tipping at least one-tenth of the check that they may keep on for a while. "But they'll get used to it, and it will be better all around when they do." Union officials waxed enthusiastic in their approval of the plan, which involves raising wages of waiters and taking the difference out of the menu prices. "Give us a living wage," August Berkoff, Secretary of the Amalgamated Food Workers' Union, said, i Albany, N.

Strewl ia on trial charged with participating in the abduction of John J.

O'Connell last July. Herbert J. Walter, handwriting expert of Chicago, said the way Strewl wrote the letters and were powerful influences in his belief that the thirty-one-year-old former beer runner composed the six ransom letters.
