THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1984 ST. PAUL POLICE IN BARRAGE OF GUNFIRE Woman and Two Men Flee Af- ter Spirited Duel With Would-Be Questioners St. Paul, March 31—()—Two un- identified men and a woman shot their way out of.an apartment in an exclusive residential district here Sat- | urday Driving R. C. Coulter, federal de- partment of justice agent, and Detec- tive Harry Cummins from their door with machine gun fire, the trio fled in a large car. The officers had sought to question them. Neither of the officers was injured. Who they might be officers refused to conjecture. In a small car in which they believed the fugitives came to the apartment, however, police said they found a newspaper open to a story concerning John Dillinger, In- diana jail breaker. Belief that at least one of the gun- men had been wounded was expressed by police after they found traces of blood outside the apartment near where the men entered their escape car. A woman who answered the door when the detectives rang, slammed it in their faces. A moment later a torrent of bul- lets poured through the apartment door from the inside. The officers, out of the line of fire, returned it, but a second burst of bullets, fired after the nose of a gun was poked through the door, drove them from their positions. Came Out Shooting | Then the man holding the machine | gun darted out of the door, firing as he ran. Another man followed him from the apartment, the two pursuing the fed- eral agent out of the building. Once outside, they raced to the rear of the building and fled in a big sedan parked there, with the woman at the wheel. Seeing them come out of the build- ing, R. L. Nalls, a second federal agent, had shot a hole in a tire on a| smaller car they were believed to have used previously. Authorities immediately assigned every available man to search for the big automobile in which the trio fled. They refused to answer questions concerning their identity, but said! they believed they were “plenty tough.” In the car on which Nalls flatten- ed a tire, officers said they found newspapers opened to a story con- cerning John Dillinger, fugitive In- diana jail breaker. | It was recalled also that federal agents are still seeking perpetrators of two local kidnapings—that of Wil- liam Hamm, Jr., wealthy brewer, and Edward G. Bremer, banker. DAVIS IS DISTRICT ATHLETIC OFFICER’ Will Be One of Eight Men in Charge of Legion Junior Baseball in State Grand Forks, N. D., March 31.—() —With a slogan of “Every post a jun-| jor baseball team,” the North Dakota American Legion junior baseball pro-| gram was launched Saturday with the appointment of eight district athletic! officers by Frank J. Webb of Grand! Forks, state athletic head. The appointments are: i District 1—Dickey, Ransom, Sar-| gent and Richland counties; James Little of Barney. District 2—Barnes, Cass, Trail, Steele and Griggs counties; C. A. Stevens of Leal. District 3—Stutsman, Foster, Eddy.| Wells and Sheridan counties; Carl/ Erickson of New Rockford. District 4—Burleigh, Kidder, Em- mons, Logan, and McIntosh counties; E. M. Davis of Bismarck. District 5—McKenzie, Dunn, Mer- cer, Oliver, Morton, Sioux, Grant, Het- linger, Adams, Bowman, Slope, Stark, Billings and Golden Valley; Theo- dore H. Mark of Hebron. District 6—Divide, Williams, Burke, Renville, Mountrail, Ward and Me- Lean counties; Harry Herschleb of Minot. District 7—Bottineau, Rolette,! ‘Towner, Benson, McHenry and Pierce counties; Al Johnson of St. John. , District 8—Cavalier, Pembina, Ram-! sey, Walsh, Nelson and Grand Forks counties; M. B. Zimmerman of Graf- | ton. “Every post in the state is urged to] organize a team.” Webb said. “Last year we had 2,000 boys playing base- ball and we have set a goal of 2.500 this summer.

The tonsorial artists of our neighboring city are not an organized unit. It is every man for his own and the devil take the hindmost, and the gentle- man with the horns and hoofs had a merry time of it while the battle lasted. It all began with a situation | charged 50 cents for haircuts (ch, The others, feeling a loss o} in which all but one Mandan barber ren 25) and that one charged 35 cents. usiness, cut to 35 cents also, The leader cut to 25 and the others followed suit. Soon all the barbers in Mandan were cutting hair for 10 cents per poll. Some labor leaders and barbers from Bismarck were called in by the desperate Mandanites to see if they couldn't aid in restoring some sort of mental balance, for the competitors were in a fair way to starve themselves to death. The best a barber can do is cut three heads of hair an hour. He won't average that because of the waits between customers. Three customers an hour means 30 cents. On the basis of 60 per cent to the barber and 40 per cent’to the proprietor of the shop, this meant a maximum wage of 18 cents an hour. The scale now is back to where it was before the whole thing began. Most of the barbers are getting 50 cents per effort. The price-cutter is back | to 35 cents. FIVE ENGINEERS STARTED THE TROUBLE Because of Relief Director Harry Hopkins’ telegram discharging Gov- ernor William Langer from connection with that work, and related circum- stances, the idea is abroad that it was the activity of Governor Langer's Leader among persons on the relief payroll which started the investigation into North Dakota conditions which will culminate with the federal grand jury inquiry at Fargo. The assumption was natural enough but it is not justified by the facts. The inside dope is that the government got busy following a complaint by five engineers in the state highway department who disliked that five per cent idea. They filed a formal protest and the investigation resulted. How far-reaching that action will be depends upon the evidence pre- sented to the grand jury; what action that body takes on it. IT HAS ALL THE POWER IT NEEDS A federal grand jury, by the way, is just about the most. powerful group in the nation when it comes to administering justice, -It represents the peo- ple in action and, as such, possesses all the the constitution to the people. Once in session, a grand jury powers which are delegated by can exclude anyone it wishes from its counsels. It can investigate any situation which it sees fit. No one, not even the president of the United States, is excluded from its jurisdiction, Indiana federal grand juries have. within the last 10 years, instigated actions which sent two governors to federal prisons: It may not be om- niscient but. within the province allotted to it, a grand jury is all-powerful. , Local Churches to Have Special Easter Services All Unite in Observing Feast of Risen Christ in Particu- lar Manner | Bismarck churches of all denomin- ations will have elaborate services on Easter Sunday, marking the anniver- sary of Christ's resurrection, The time and nature of the Easter devo- |tions were announced Saturday by the various pastors.

Also, it \ould follow the only winning precedent the Democrats have established in Nor*‘: Dakota's state affairs, In 1906 the Democrats met at Minot and drafted John Burke to run for th: governorship. He won for them in that campaign and was twice re- elected. the only three-term governor in North Dakota's history. Get ‘udge Burke in a reminiscent mocd. sometime and he will tell you chout it, fe: - he, also. was not an aspirant for the governorship. A lavyer at Devils Lake, he had built up a comfortable practice. Pri- vately he figured the Democratic nominee didn't have the best chance to win. He was loath to make the campaign, But, as he phrases it. his friends literally held him down while they nominated him. The late Frank Hellstrom of Bismarck and others insisted so vigorously that he gave in, accepted the nomination. Once in the race, he made a whirlwind campaign. The rest is history. The judge, still the state's leading Democrat, is taking no sides in the current party squabbles and will not go to Minot, though privately he would like to do so. Nevertheless, this bit of history has added impetus to the “draft Moodie” movement, advocates of the idea pointing out that it has been done. THEY'LL HEAR THE CRY OF PAYROLLER Opponents of the Democrats are quite likely to point the finger toward | them with the cry of “payrollers.” with some justification, In ‘fact, it already has been done and The heart of the party. just now, is centered in the large number of Persons who have received appointments to federal positions. Most of the postmasters still are Republicans, since the patronage machinery has moved slowly, but in most other offices Republicans have been replaced by the party faithful, some of them recent. converts, To the usual number of positions may be added those created under the “new deal” for specific purposes, practically all of which have gone to Demo- crats. Most numerous in the latter classification are men working for the Home Owners Loan corporation, which has one or more men in every county. Under the management of State Chairman F. W. McLeen, this organi- zation constitutes the nearest thing to a “machine” the Democrats have right now. It will be powerful at the Minot convention.

Gopher Republicans Prepare for Battle Minneapolis, March 31.—()-—Faced with the definite issue of “super- Socialism,” Republican leaders from all parts of Minnesota gathered here Friday, and mapped plans to meet the challenge of the Farmer-Labor plat- form and appointed a sub-committee te work out details of their campaign in advance of the state convention. The sub-committee is headed by Martin A. Nelson of Austin, Minn., and was instructed to work out # pro- gram covering the party's view-point on taxes and the economic rights of the individual. It will report to the party heads April 12. The political situation as it stands was laid before the voters by State Senator J. V. Weber of Slayton, one of the Republican leaders. and an old opponent of Governor Olson in the legislature. “The Farmer-Labor platform,” his statement said, “has now resolved it- self into a question on which the Re- publicans of Minnesota can say ‘I told you so.’ It is now no longer a question of private rights against property rights. It is a question of sound goveyiment against super-So- cialism.” Rye, Flax and Barley Basic Commodities Washington, March 31.—()—Presi- dential signature of a bill amending the farm adjustment act to make rye, flax, and barley basic commodities will mean more cash income for North Dakota, in the opinion of Senator Frazier (Rep., N. D.). than the state’s $15,000,000 of wheat benefits. On the basis of a processing tax of 30 cents a bushel on rye, 29 cents on barley and 60 cents on flax the state should receive 620,650,000 in benefit payments, Frazier said. He said North Dakota raised an av- erage of 15,000,000 bushels of rye an- nually, 35,000,000 bushels of barley, and 10,000,000 buhels of flax. The rye, flax and barley provisions were intraduced by Frazier to the Jones amendment making cattle a basic commodity. No Business Firm Exempt From Code Business concerns classified as ope- rating under certain codes, regardless of whether these firms operate in towns of 2,500 population or less and employ five or less persons, are in no circumstances exempt from compli- ance with the codes of fair competi- tion governing his particular business, R. B. Cummins, state NRA compliance director, announced Saturday. He said concerns operating under the following codes must comply: Motor vehicle retailing trade, petro- leum industry, ice industry, motion picture industry, retail lumber, lum- ber products, building materials and building specialties industry, graphic arts code (printing code), banking in- dustry, retail solid fuel industry code, country grain elevators under the PRA, farm equipment industry (not retail farm. equipment trade code, which is covered by order.)

William Langer Saturday issued & proclamation asking motorists to refrain from giving rides to transients. He called attention to the coopera- tion of the railroads in preventing transients from riding on trains free of charge, and requested the aid of sutomobilists, who, he said, “through the kindest of motives are hampering the work of the transient department by granting privileges to transients to hitch-hike from place to place.” The federal emergency relief ad- ministration has established transient bureaus throughout the country, with seven in North Dakota under the management of Transient Director Herbert Smith. Bureaus have been. Placed at Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, Jamestown, Grand Forks, Devils Lake and Williston. “Tt is for the best interests of the transients found in the state of North Dakota,” the proclamation said, “and not for the best interests of the peo- ple of the state, to pick up and carry, free of charge, transients from place to place in this state. “This proclamation is made with the assurance that all transients may be delivered to transient centers within the state of North Dakota at the ex- pense of the federal government and with the knowledge that it is not nec- essary in any instance for these trans- ients to be carried from place to piace ‘within the state by automobilists with- out pay.” : Western Route to Be Graveled Soon Williston, N.
