IAP) -Registration under police surveil lance continues today at Little Rock's four high schools where 11th grade sliidenls were sched- uled to sign up for classes this fall. Officers walched Tuesday as 429 seniors registered peacefully in schools which Were closed against integration last year. Included in (his group were five Negroes who expressed a desire to attend Cen tral High, once an all-white school. No Negroes attempted to enroll in Hall or Tech, the two ' other while schools. 1 krnur ot ine live were among ftiine Negroes who attended Cen tral under protection of federal troops during the 1957-58 term. Police said there were no dis turbances. Supt. Terrell Powell said senior registration was a little below average hut this was expected be cause registration was so early School is scheduled to open Sept. 8. Registration hy Negroes at once white schools does no mean they will be permitted to attend there. Alter registration is complete, the school hoard will invoke Arkansas' pupil placement law to assign stu- flenls to the various schools Two private schools, which en rolled about 400 students last year. announced they had no plans to operate this fall. Baptist High, which had 365 stu denls, and Trinity Interim Aca demy, which had 27, went out of business. This leaves Raney High, a segregationist-backed institution the only private, segregated school in the city. Raney had about 850 students last year and has en rolled about 900 for next term. "'ifr"" Criminal John Dillinger Died 25 Years Ago Today Editor's Note A quarter of a century ago the end came for a stocky, grim-faced Hoosier who had terrorized the entire Midwest. With him died a brief but bloody era that for sheer violence and drama has never been equalled in the history of American crime. By DOS' RKKHKR INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Today the name Dillinger is nothing but a faint, bitter taste of memory for his family and the veteran po licemen and reporters who were caught up in his sensational, hul let pocked career. But on that hot night 25 year's ago July 22. 1934 when John Dil linger was shot to death in front of a Chicago movie theater, he was perhaps the most notorious person in the country. For nearly 30 of his 31 years. John Dillinger accomplished noth ing to merit headlines. But by the time he was shot down, he had been blamed in one way or anoth er for at least 13 killings, had looted banks of at least 500,000. and had cost law enforcement agencies some two million dollars for the most intense police hunt this country had ever seen. The Dillinger story actually be gan May 22, 1933. when he was released on parole from the In diana State Prison after serving nearly nine years of a 10-21-year term for slugging and robbing a Mooresville grocer of $550. Before his arrest, Dillinger had quit school, worked as a machin ist, joined the Navy, and was dis honorably discharged for deser tion. He had married a 16-year-old girl. She divorced him' while he was in prison. Dillinger always called his one and only prison term "a bum rap because his partner in the rob hery turned state's evidence and got off with a light term. ."I, was just an unfortunate boy. he solemnly told newsmen -alter one of his arrests. . Dillinger wasn't beyond prison walls for a month before he held up the manager of a thread fac tory in Monticello. III. Then he branched out to where the real money was in the banks. Dillinger or the men he worked with were blamed for dozens of bank robberies in subsequent months all over Indiana, Iowa. II linois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio. Pennsylvania, and South Dakota The Dillinger gang was a rather loosely organized outfit, and to this day there is a lot of doubt that Dillinger gave all the orders Operating with him were such seasoned gunmen as John Hamil ton, George (Baby Facet Nelson Alvin Karpis, and Fred and Ar thur Barker. On Sept. 26, 1933 four months after his parole from the same prison 10 convicts shot their way nut of the Indiana State Prison Dillinger later admitted that he had engineered the escape hy smuggling three revolvers inside some material being shipped to the prison shirt factory. 'In the prison I met a lot of Cabinet Aide Faces Ouster PORTLAND (AP) - Delegates to the annual convention of the Townsend Clubs of America here were scheduled to act today on a resolution asking the ouster of a member of President Eisen hower's cabinet. The resolution urged the resig nation of Secretary of Health. Ed ucation and Welfare Arthur Flem ming. It contended he consistent ly opposed elforts to improve the nation's health, education and wel fare. The resolution said Flemminc "has helrayed the sick and the disabled . . . and the senior citizens who looked to him in hope lor leadership in the campaign to create a decent and adequate so cial security system." The 6O0 delegates also were scheduled to act on another reso lution that reads: "The Townsend organization opens its doors and its hearts to all Americans of good w ill regardless . of their race creed, color or place of origin."

A little more than two weeks later three imen walked into the jail at Lima Ohio, and released him. af'.er kill ing the sherilf. The Dillinger mob resumed its foray against midwestern banks, arming for the raids by looting police station arsenals. Firially on Jan. 25, 1934. Dill inger and three of his men were nabbed without a fight by law of ficers in Tucson, Ariz. Dillinger was flown to Crown Point, Ind and five weeks later blulled his way out of the "escape-proof jail with a wooden gun he carved in his cell. Dillinger's luck held again as he shot his way out of a police trap a month later in St. Paul, Minn., with his French-Indian sweetheart, Evelyn Frechette Then he drove back to his home town of Moorsville and ate a leisurely chicken dinner with his father and relatives. "Johnny is not a bad boy at heart," the father always said. Federal agents found Dillinger and six companions late on the night of April 22, 1934 holed up in the little Bohemia Lodge near Mercer, Wis. Once more he es caped. With hordes of police hot on his tail, Dillinger headed for Chicago, his friends and death. . Tipped, off by a woman com panion who later gained infamy as "The Woman in Red." FBI agents surrounded, the Biograph Theater on the near northwest side of the city and waited two hours , for Dillinger to emerge from a Clark Gable movie en titled. "Manhattan Melodrama." It was, ironically enough, a gang ster picture in which a hoodlum died in the electric chair. No such formal fate awaited Dillinger. He saw the police clos ing in. reached for an automatic pistol in his pocket and tried to run into a nearby alley. He was dropped with two bullets in his chest and another through his neck. Hundreds of spectators gather ed. Women dipped their handker chiefs into his spilled blood for souvenirs. 'A crowd of 2.000 mob bed the. morgue for a look at the body. A similar scene took place three days later in Indianapolis,' when Dillinger was buried in a shady spot at Crown Hill Cem etery. For several years the curious tramped a well-marked path to Dillinger's grave. Some chipped his small granite headstone for keepsakes. All that is over now. Scarcely a dozen persons have inquired the way to the grave this 25th summer.

Labor Secretary Mitchell Named Strike Fact-Finder NEW YORK (API-Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell has en tered the week-old steel strike.

(AP) An Army Redstone missile was launched here Tuesday night on what appeared to he a highly suc cessful 250-mile flight. The Redstone, similar to that which will boost this nation's sev en astronauts on space capsule familiarization tests, darted out over the Atlantic Ocean shortly before midnight. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has ordered several Redstone missiles to ac quaint the seven space pioneers with the capsule which will carry one of them into an orbit about the earth, probably in 1961. Most of the astronauts, who are now training at Langley Air Force Base, Va., are expected to take comparatively short trips in the capsule. Redstones will hurl the manned space capsules as high as 100 miles into the air and deposit them a few hundred miles out in the Atlantic for recovery. These tests could start next spring. Chimpanzees will try out the space chambers before man gets his chance. The task of placing the first American in orbit has been as signed to the Atlas intercontinent al range ballistic missile.

It is expected that the White House will use the information he provides as a basis for deciding whether to invoke the national emergency provisions of the Taft Hartley Act. Under Taft-Hartley, the federal government could issue an 80-day antistrike injunction if necessary. But it was felt this would ac complish little at this time. Both sides appear to be dug in for a long struggle. Eisenhower reportedly feels that the 80-day cooling-off period would not change their positions although he has not ruled out the possibility of invok ing Taft-Hartley. The United Steelworkers Union strike has idled a half million workers in basic steel and shut down nearly 90 per cent of the nation's steel production. Another 45,500 workers in such allied fields as coal, railroads and trucking al so have been idled as a result of the strike. Vital defense projects, however, have been assured of enough steel to last until September, federal officials reported Tuesday. The union seeks a 15-ccnt-hourly annual package increase, claiming that the industry can afford it without raising the price of steel The industry has refused, claim ing that any increase in labor cost would force a price increase, and thus contribute to inflation. Pre strike steel wages averaged $3.10 an hour. The fact-finding will not inter rupt the mediation that has been going on here in an effort to set tie the strike. Federal mediators meet again with both-sides today. Both sides said after Mitchell's announcement that they would co operate with him. mm Ull ARITV iiuii ii i i YOU , To TNt AMUia Of AMERICAS NAVAL HEgOCS, NOW ADO THE NAME OF JC4W PAUL VTECXlElt Vtl nm man ivtft to'MISPLACE'a otmovni Officer and Gentleman by Act of Congress.. Sure, we never lost a war. . but we never had an officer like him before! A If Fact-Finder Puts Aide In WASHINGTON (AP)-His des ignation as a steel strike fact find er puts Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell in the limelight for a possible liefiO vice presidential nomination bid. Mitchell is obviously one of 10 Republicans President Eisenhow er considers well qualified for fu ture advancement in party af fairs even for the presidency itself. Of the 10, Eisenhower has named only Vice President Richard M. Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. He also has ssvd that he will not choose between them if they contest for the presi dential nomination next year. While the President is keeping to himself the other eight names on his list, he is known to look with , a pleased political eye on Mitchell. The labor secretary outlined his one-man fact-finding role Tuesday and told questioning newsmen that his reports to Eisenhower could form the basis for any decisions Eisenhower might make to act. He said he would consult with oth er government olficials and even with the disputing parties if that seems desirable. He indicated, however, his studies will be in formal. Mitchell told a news conference he will be operating under a pro vision of the law creating the La bor Department which authorizes the secretary to investigate "the causes of, and facts relating to" all labor - management disputes that might affect the welfare of the people. Mitchell said that so far as he knows, no other labor secretary has acted in a similar manner. If the secretary can contribute to an acceptable settlement of the steel wage dispute, he will have gained political stature. If he fails, his hopes for the 1960 vice presi dential nomination could nose ' dive. Because he is a Roman Catho lic, Mitchell has figured in a great deal of GOP discussion for second place on the ticket. His chances evidently would be enhanced if the Democrats, meeting first next year, should put either Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Massl or Califor nia's Gov. Edmund G. (PaO Brown on either place on their ticket. Both are Catholics.'
