SHAWNEE, Okla., Dec. 30 ()
The "trl-state terror," Wilbur Underbill-;
killer, bank robber, ma
chine runner and prison breaker
lay in a - dylnt ' condition to
night, his body almost riddled
by police ballets, and law en
forcement agencies checked off
another same on the dwindling
list of southwestern bad men still
at large.
"I don't think I can live." he
told his bride, a pretty brnnette
whom he married at Coalgate,
Okla., several weeks ago.
Hospital physicians expressed
belief the outlaw would not lire,
and officers voiced amazement
that Underhill had been able to
escape from a house where he
was trapped and wounded in a
gunfight early today.
- .Bleeding from more than half
a dozen, wounds and scantily clad,
Underhill ran from the house
under a hail of lead and took
refuge in a furniture store.
Four hoars later he was found
hiding in a bed in the rear of
the store. He surrendered with
out a fight, although still armed
with a pistol.
Underhill was a leader of the
break of eleven convicts from
the Kansas penitentiary Memorial
day and. is under indictment for
the machine gun, killing of four
officers and Frank Nash, federal
convict; at Kansas City last June.
R. H. Colvin, department of
justice , agent from Oklahoma
City, and other officers trailed
Underhill to the house.
: Captured in a raid were a man
tentatively identified as Raymond
Roe, alias Ralph Rowe; a Sem
inole beauty parlor operator, Eva
Mae " Nichols, and Underbill's
wife, the former Hazel Hudson.

Output to Increase as High
As 837 Per Cent; Many
Factories to Rise
By STANLEY P. RICHARDSON
MOSCOW. Dec. 30. (JP) De
tail3)f a new industrial five-year
plan which in four years would
triple the production of 1932 and
under which soviet Russia would
be made essentially self-sufficing
were announced today to the so
viet people.
The project, so vast that in
comparison Russia's role in pre
war industry seems insignificant
and the first five - year scheme
ended in 1932 as dwarfed, includes
provisions and for the completion
or beginning of 447 giant enter
prises and for the annual produc
tion of goods worth $51,000,000,
000 at nominal values.
It would allow for an. increase
as high as 837 per cent in the
1937 output as against' that of
1932.
The extent of new building is
seen in proposals to complete
present undertakings and start
new ones. These include 178 new
coal mines; 11 iron mills, seven
of which have been started; 93
oil cracking and 46 refining
plants; two copper works; four
aluminum plants, two of which
were begun under the first plan:
15 cotton mills, 18 knitting mills.
11 silk milks, and 21 shoe manu
factures. RELIEF FROM COLD

Building Picks up Late in
Year; Prospect is Bright
Following a slow start, building
operations in Salem have gathered
momentum during 1933, resulting
In fire of the past seven months
being above the same months of
1932, according to the records, of
City Building Inspector E. C.
Bushnell. The upward trend in the
last four months has been broken
only in December, when the slight
decrease could be attributed to un
favorable weather.
Prospects for the building in
dustry in Salem for 1934 are
bright, according to Mr. Bushnsll,
who predicts the rise of several
Industrial structures,, and some
sizeable business buildings. Al
though a shortage exists in mod
ern residences, Mr. Bushnell does
not believe home building on a
large scale will be resumed until
1935 at least.
. While building permit values
for 1933 are 10.9 per cent below
those for 1932, the decrease re
reals an easing off in the acute
descent of the previous three
years. The drop In 1932 was 37
per cent from the 1931 total, 1931
was 38 per cent below 1930, and
1930 was (1 per cent below 1929.

A notable feature of the statis
tics is that just as many building
permits are being issued now as
during 1929 when $1,359,175

ed. That year 548 permits were
issued, 548 la 1930, 576 in 1931,
702 in 1932 and the 556 in 1933.
Part of the decreases in build

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (JP)
President Roosevelt, in a procla

state banking authorities sole su
pervision of the non-member
banking structure.
He amended 'proclamations Is
sued last March whereby all
banks were brought under super
vision of the administration
when the banking emergency was
declared.
The prohibitions in the pre
vious regulations pertaining to
the holding of gold, hoarding,
and dealing In foreign exchange,
were continued in tonight's or
der. Inasmuch as the treasury has
acted on all requests for licens
ing member banks of the federal
reserve system, and as the fed-
eraal deposit insurance corpora
tion likewise has acted on all ap
plications to it for membership,
it was deemed appropriate, the
proclamation said, that the bank
ing authority in each state should
exercise the sole responsibility
for banking institutions not mem
bers of the federal reserve sys
tem. -
The deposit insurance system
insuring deposits up to $2500
becomes operative on Tuesday,
and state banks which have
qualified will then come under
the central control of the feder

along with national banks and
state members of the federal re

Optimism is
As Salem
OPTIMISTIC statements concerning the city's outlook for 1934 were
made here yesterday by civic leaders. Their viewpoint, coupled
with those of the majority of persons interviewed off the record
by The Statesman, pointed to a substantially, improved 12 months
ahead for the citizens of this community. The statements follow:
WILLIAM P. ELLIS, president chamber of commerce:
"Having successfully adjusted itself to the new order of
business and the new economic plan of NBA, and having In a
sense arrived n major operation following a prolonged Illness,
Salem business and industry is showing substantial improvement.
. It is entering the new year with a feeling of optimism and with a
well-grounded hope that the increased activity of recent months
may continue la even greater volume throughout the ensuing
year.
MRS CLIFTON MUDD. president Salem Woman's club:
"As we pass through the lingering hours of the old year and be
gin the new, let us pray that the spirit of the angel's song, "Peace on
Earth, Good Will Toward Men" may become so pregnant to all the
vast family of humanity that war will cease from the world forever.
May we ever remember what life is for and may our vision of duty
in 1934 be clear and our purpose steadfast."
&
DOUGLAS McKAY, Salem's mayor:
"I don't feel alarmed over the ultimate outcome of the city's
finances for with an assessed valuation of 917,000,000 the city
has bat f 1,700,000 of debt, a proportion of ten to one. ... At the
present time we are faced with the fact of an overdraft at the
hanks 180,000 in warrants that we can not redeem. . . . Strict
est economy in all departments is demanded and will be enforced
daring 1034 to reduce this debt. ... Daring the past year we
have done well in paying off $83,000 of oar general obligation
bond debt and the first of the year we will refund an old 00,000
term bond issue with a serial issue to be paid off at the rate of
$3000 a year. This is a step forward.
"We were at first highly pleased to get the f 1,500,000 allot
ment from PWA; but we have been keenly disappointed because
we have been unable to use it. I hope and believe we can get
condemnation proceedings through and the water project started
in 1034."
J. N. CHAMBERS, chairman Marion county relief committee and
civil works board:
"I am inclined to believe conditions are beginning to ease up a
little. People are getting back' to work, naturally stimulating other
lines of business and creating more employment. I wouldn't be sur
prised to find 1933 to have been the real bottom of the relief need.
After the first of March the load should begin to lighten up. If every
thing mores as Indicated, we shouldn't need much relief next Septem
ber. If the CWA is extended to tide us over till PWA gets to working,
we should get by to a period of increasing, steady employment. The
demand for all types of merchandise is here."

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 30 (IP)

tonight said 40 radical rebels had
been killed and more than 30
wounded in a battle last night
between loyal Argentine troops
and more than 300 rebels who
crossed Into Cottientes province,
Argentina, from Brazil.
While the government claimed
normal conditions had returned to
the country today, last night's
battle apparently was a final
flareup in an abortive revolution
for which President Justo blamed
the radical party.
The presidential communique
added that the Cottiente revolt-
ers. among whom it said were
numerous Brazilians, we e well
armed with rifles and machine
guns.
After clashing with border
forces, they attacked the town of
Paso de Los Llbres but were re

Argentine infantry, the communi
que said. The battle lasted an

A smaller group of rebels was
reported to have captured the
