It is a cabinet of “the Center,” neith- er radical nor conservative. It is com- posed mainly of veteran statesmen and, significantly, Col. Jean Fabry, Marshal Joffre's aide-de-camp during the war, as minister of war. ‘This was regarded as a clear in- ication of the strong defense policy with which France will confront Chan- cellor Hitler of Germany. Besides Fabry, the following com- pose the cabinet: M. Daladier, foreign affairs; Eu- gene Penancier, justice; Eugene Frot, interior; Col. Jean Fabry, national de- fense and war; Pierre Cot, air; Fran- cols Pietri, finance and the budget; Emile Berthod, education; Jean Mist- ler, commerce; Henri Queueille, agri- culture; Joseph Jaganon, public works; Jean Valadier, labor; Henry de Jouvenel, colonies; Hippolyte Du- cos, pensions; Paul Bernier, posts and telegraphs; Emil Lisbonne, public health; Louis de Chappedelaine, ma- tine, and Guy Lachambre, merchant marine. 1s Fourth in Year ‘The new cabinet is the fourth which France has seen since Chancéllér Hit- ler assumed the leadership of Ger- many just a year ago Tuesday. In selecting his ministers the new premier dropped all the powerful names of the ministry of Premier Ca- mille Chautemps, the man whom he replaces. He retains only a few minor members whose names are free from all whispers of connection with the pawnshop scandal. As Premier Daladier will have three big jobs: 1. Clean up the Bayonne bank scandal; punish any high officials in- volved; and reform the antiquated judicial and police system which some government leaders say made the scandal possible. 2.

Pierpont, Makley, Russell and Miss Kinder were taken to the depot heav- ily shackled and escorted by 30 of- ficers, armed with sub-machine guns. Fighting and protesting, Dillinger ‘was carried out of Arizona in a swift irplane maneuver Monday night ahead of a habeas corpus writ that would have delayed his departure at least another day. Extradition of the group to Indiana was authorized by Governor B. B. Moeur in Phoenix as he honored that state's requisitions presented by At- torney General Phillip Lutz, Jr. Hear Delivery Rumors The sudden removal Dillinger occurred when state police received reports here that a force of gang- sters were believed hurrying to Tuc- son to attempt a jail delivery. Shackled and under guard of four heavily-armed Indiana officers, Dil- linger was whisked in a chartered plane to Douglas, Ariz. There, after he was forced to change his clothes so that he would be less easily recognized, he was placed in an eastbound American Airways plane which skimmed away at 11:14 p. m. After arrival at El Paso, Carroll Holley, deputy sheriff from East Chicago, Ind., said the prisoner and his escort would continue on the plane to Fort Worth, Tex., where a “short” stop would be made. Sheriff Chris Fox of El Paso was on hand at the field with a squad of 10 depu- ties and three machine guns when the plane landed. Shirt Was Torn When Dillinger emerged, bare- headed, he was wearing an officer's pearcaal: and his shirt was torn down rront. Dillinger said he had been “rail- roaded.” He said he wanted to re- turn to Wisconsin to face robbery charges there because, “there is no capital punishment in Wisconsi; ‘he extradition request for/Pier- pont, Clark and Makley, charged them with bank robbery since they escaped with seven other convicts from the Indiana state prison at Michigan City last September 26.

Even after a terrific struggle against the handcuffs, the shrieking and Grigg? gang leader was not subdued. He attempted to vent his removal by bracing bls feet against the bars of his cell.

W. Buttz cf Devils Lake, asked by District Judge R _W. McFarland to sit in his stead. Papers filed in the case Tuesday show that Buckley suffered paralysis in both legs while employed on a farm belonging to Governor Langer in 1928. A petition for guardianship, signed by Langer, states that Buckley, who was & minor at the time, was apparently Permanently crippled in one leg and cites the fact that he had been exam- ined by Dr. G. R. Lipp, Dr. W. H. Bodenstab and in the Quain and Ram- stad clinic. Langer asks in the petition that C. D. King, at that time manager of one of Langer's farms, be appointed guard- ian for Buckley, even though the ap- Pointment of such guardian might be against his (Langer’s) best interests. Mystery surrounds the case and Tumors are thick that it will not come to trial. Conferences are supposed to have taken place between go-betweens of the governor Ring, and ‘the Plaintiff's attorney. Present in the courtroom Tuesday while another case was being tried were J. E. Pfeiffer, Amidon, a political adherent of the governor, and Charles Joyce, an inspector for the state regu- latory department. Attorney F. E.

Silence Continues to Shroud Bremer Case 8 STYLE REVIEW AND GIANT TRADE WEEK WILL BE COMBINED Colorful Festival Will Be Staged in Memorial Building March 22-24 | EXTENSIVE PLAN LAUNCHED Committees Named at Meeting of Auto Dealers and Mer~ chants Tuesday Bismarck’s annual automobile show, style review and trade week will be staged Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 22, 23 and 24. Plans to make the event “bigger and better in every respect” were launched Tuesday forenoon f a meeting of automobile dealers and other merchants in the association of commerce offices. The show will be staged in the main auditorium of the World War Memorial building. More optimistic than they have been for several seasons because of the improved business outlook for this year, the merchants outlined plans for what is to prove the most beautiful and most instruc- tive show of its kind ever staged in the Capital City. Autos Improved Radically Radical innovations in the auto- motive industry offer added possibil- ities for an unusually colorful auto- mobile exhibition. Practically all manufacturers are introducing sen- sational developments to the motor- ing public this year, included accen- tuated stream-lined bodies, “knee ac- tion” front wheels, smoother, quieter and more powerful motors, and countless other improvements to bet- ter both the comfort and perfor- mance of their machines. Despite this fact, merchants in other lines will have just as many innovations to present. With the buying public in a purchasing mood this year because of they improved outlook and more, money available, . in large part because of the federal government's widespread financial relief for farmers and needy fam- ilies, factories rapidly are stepping up their operations after long periods of inactivity and turning out great varieties of modern products which are being offered at “dirt cheap” prices. This optimism is evinced in every line of business. The show will follow the generat plan of the show last season, accord« ing to M. B. Gilman, named chair- man of the general committee for the show, but will be much more exten- sive and include several new feat- ‘ures, Plan Big Entertainment will be used contemplated and the style show will be staged each evening on a hi runway in the show room.
