J WASHINGTON, March 31. Fresl
f dent Roosevelt Is not exactly pleas
ed at the type of leadership he has
been getting Irom his leaders In con
gress. He probably will not be able to do
anything about It but he would
like to.
It was not exactly the veterans'
vote but an accumulation of unhappy
Incidents which brought about the
mutual misunderstanding.
Prom the start the president has
been unable to find the type of
men In congress to undertake new
deal leadership.
tt 4nhprltprf the nresent congres-
elonal leadership setup. It la an out
.t nt niri.time nnlttlcal traditions
. -which are far apart from the ideals
.of the new deal.
elected In both houses
on seniority. Floor Leader Robinson
In the senate has tried to revise his
traditional conservative self Into a
new deal exponent. 80 has house
floor leader Byrns. But they have
nf it ttrfn nhle to make the
grade because their hearts are not
In It. They have been loyal and
ardent, but Insufficient.
If Mr. Roosevelt had his way to
day he would make Representative5
Eayburn his leader In tho house and
Senator Byrnes his senate leader.
They come nearer to typifying his
Ideals than the leaders which the
vagaries of politics have thrust upon
him.
Dlwlpllne
Nothing could have changed the
veterans' vote. The best leadership
1n the world could not have pre
vented the house from revolting, but
the right kind of leadership could
have prevented the rout.
wh.n ' viris-nrpsidpnt Garner was
' floor leader of the house, party loy
? .Hit? was a badge of honor. Darner
.? had a way of making Insurgents re
gret their Insurgency. Discipline was
enforced with a blackjack. Now the
punishment is publlcntlon In the
speaker's black list, which since the
recent revolts Is about as exclusive
as the telephone book.
Promotions
Possibilities of a change In house
leadership are being discussed In the
house cloakroom. A rather strong
movement is under way in favor of
Rayburn. It will not succeed. Tradi
tionary rules ere so Influential that
thev cannot be overturned so easily.
The expectation In the senate
cloakroom is that Senator Robinson,
of Arkansas, will soon be promoted
to the supreme court.
Intellltent'la
The brain trust tells this story so
It probably Isn't so. They say Dr.
Wirt was Invited to a social party
here last summer and was astounded
to find no radicals present, at least
no radicals who fitted the long beard,
J wide-eyed specifications.
The good doctor was so Insistent
on seeing a radical In the raw that
his host arranged for a newspaper
man to Impersonate one. This fellow
had a lurid Imagination. He filled
the doctor s ear full of revolutions,
vHBtn. Rtaltnit and rebellion.
The Joke, according to the story,
was on the host, because Dr. Wirt
believed it.
Secrecy
There is a new ruling In the NRA
requiring all employes to refrain
from talking to newspaper men. All
official talk must come from General
Johnson.
The last one who tried that was
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, whose
ruling lasted three days.
ilope
Republican authorities believe now
that they may gain more than eighty
Democratic house seats In the next
election. They are - Imbued with the
idea that the tide has turned. After
the house vote on the veterans' veto
their enthusiasm runs even to the
length of expecting a complete over
throw of the house.

ST. PAUL, Minn.. March 31. (AP)
John ( "Thet Killer") DUUnger,
with a sub-machine gun In his hands
and a big green sedan awaiting him,
shot his way out of a police trap to
day and once more foiled the law.
Finger print left behind as he
fled with a woman, believed wound
ed, and a man, presumably one of
the members of his old gong, John
Hamilton, definitely established, au
thorities said, that one of the trio
was the widely hunted desperado
who broke out of the Jail at Crown
Point, Ind., last month.
DUlinger's fingerprints, authorities
said, were found both on the auto
mobile abandoned by the trio and
In the apartment. Among the cloth
ing and ot&er effects taken to head
quarters for examination, was a bullet-proof
vest and a photograph of
DUUnger garbed In the uniform of a
sailor taken when he apparently was
about 20 years old.
Hamilton was identified through a
description given police by Mrs. Dan
iel Coffey, wife of the proprietor of
an apartment house, on the third
floor of which tfie trio staged a wild
gun fight with officers before escap
ing. Behind then the fugitives left also
a few spots of blood, evidence lead
ing to the opinion that a bullet fired
by City Detective Henry Cummlngs
had struck tbo woman, and a minia
ture arsenal, Including two sub-machine
guns and road maps of Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Surprised by Detective Henry Cum
mlngs and R. C. Coulter, federal
operative, Vie pair fought a duel with
the officers and escaped In a large
sedan. None of them wore hats or
coats. .
Although one of the men was be
lieved wounded blood spots were
found on the snow in the alley
neither of t.he officers was hit by
the machine gun fire as bullets per
forated doors and ripped plaster from
the walls on the third floor of the
buildings.
Numbers on the abandoned ma
chine gun had been filed off. A
third such gun was carried away by
DUUnger as he chased Coulter, the
federal investigator, to cover, when
the desperado boldly dashed from the
door, covering his flight down the
three flights of stairs with a screen
of bullets.
The description given police by
Mrs. Coffey fitted that of Hamilton,
and it was surmised DUUnger was
the other man.
Charles Coffey, 14. son of the
building proprietor, said two women
and a man rushed out of the apart
ment two hours before it was raided.
The women were in pajamas and
slippers, and without stockings. They
drove off in an automobile.
CHICAGO, March 31. (AP) After
John DUUnger, fugitive gunman, and
two companions, one a woman, shot
their way out of a St. Paul police
trap, Chicago police tonight speeded
all available men to Vie outskirts of
the city to guard Incoming roads In
efforts to capture the Indiana des
perado. Police Sargeant Frank Reynolds,
member of the city's special 'DUUn
ger squad." said he doubted if the
wood carver of Crown Point would
venture a trip Into Chicago.
"He knows the big town is 'hot'
for him," Reynolds said, "and I
doubt if he would attempt to come
In In an automobile. But we're tak

Guilt Before Death
Flight Brings Tragedy.
EUGENE, Ore., March 31. (AP)
O. L. ("Blackie") Wilcox died at a
local hospital late tonight as a re
sult of gunshot wounds Inflicted
when he resisted an officer who waa
arresting him on charges of oper
ating a still, sheriff officials an
nounced tonight. ' y '
The shooting occurred late this
evonlng in the vicinity of Fourth
and Lincoln streets when Wilcox al
legedly started to run after Special
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Kloppey had
demanded he prove whether or not
he was Wilcox.
Wilcox had been wanted by offi
cials since March 5 when officers
raided two big stills that were al
leged to be operated by him at 1300
Chambers street.' He had not been
seen since till Saturday night. A
warrant for his arrest has been out
since the raid, officers said.
Officer Kleppey said he recognized
Wilcox and a. companion known as
"Red" Hartley drive up to a house
this evening. The officer waited out
on the sidewalk for the men to re-;
appear and that when they came out
and started to drive off, he stopped
them, told them he was an officer,
and asked the man if his name waa
Wilcox. The officer said the man
believed to be Wilcox said his name i
was Byron and that when he waa!
asked to prove .his Identity he ap
peared unable to do so.
The officer then requested Wilcox
to drive to the sheriff's office and
the two men challenged the officer's
authority.
After Kleppey had showed them his
special commission, they started to
break and he drew his gun and or
dered them to atop. Wilcox started
to run and the officer fired, fatally
wounding the victim.
Just before he died at the hos
pital, officers said Wilcox made a
complete confession, admitting his
still operations, and said: "I got what
was coming to me."

AS BANKS ESTATE
TRUSTEE DENIED
Judge Fee Holds No Founda
tion For Phipps Enright
Petition Agitator's Assets
Widely Scattered Evi
dence Shows.
J. P. Wortman of Phoenix, trus
tee, and Robert P. Magulre of Port
land, referee, In the bankruptcy pro
ceedings against L. A. Banks, former
local agitator, now serving life la
state prison for murder conviction,
will continue in that capacity. Fed
eral Judge jamea Alger Fee, In an
oral opinion Friday, following a day
of testimony In a special federal
court session here, ruled that tbe
two officials had "done everything
possible," and that there was no
foundation or evidence to warrant
their removal as sought In a petition
filed by Attorney W. E. Phipps and
Attorney T. J. Enright, charging faU-
ure to properly function, and neglect
In the handling' of the estate affairs.
The court further held that the
proceedings were "a legal mistake"
and that they were brought through
petitioning creditors "not understand
ing the law on mortgages and bank
ruptcy." Three creditors withdrew
their names from the petition la
court.
The law holds that mortgages is
sued four months before bankruptcy
proceedings are Instituted have the
legal right of way in recovery.
The court stated that Attorney
Phlppa was acting in "a dual capac
ity" in advising Claude Ward, brother-in-law
of Banks, not to release
personal property In his possession
while representing creditors seeking
Us possession.
The court commented that George
Schumacher, while acting as tempo
rary receiver, "instead of preserving
property, did1' not know its where-
flDoutst" ocnumnoner admitted ns
removed furniture from the Banks
home, turned It over to Mrs. Banks
and Ward for packing, without order
of the court, and that he had sold
4700 lug boxes on the same basis.
He admitted he had cash from this
sale and and had refused to turn It
over upon order of the referee. Schu
macher continued the refusal on the
witness stand, but ohanged his mind
during the noon recess and advised
the court he would.
It was brought out In the testi
mony that the most valuable of the
Banks personal property was in pos
session of Ward and Banks' brother,
W. A. Banks, of California, and that
the remainder was scattered over this
county on bills of sale Issued when
Banks became financially Involved,
and while detained In the county
jail.
Trustee Wortman testified that
holders of property on bills of salt
were reluctant to release It, and the
chief hindrance came from Ward,
"who felt that he had a moral right
to it." The trustee testified that
he had made a diligent effort to find
the hidden assets and had advanced
money from his own pocket in plac
ing some of the orchard property la
condition for crops.
Besides the claims of creditors, the
United States government has a $8,
000 claim for non-payment of federal
Income tax and the county for taxes.
