Ther poured shotgun slugs into his automobile early ~yesterday while he was driving home from down- town Chicago. Orr’s machine, out of control as he attempted to escape, plunged through the window of a butchershop. A coro- ner's physician, Dr. J. J.

Suspects Surrenders. Jack Barry, ex-convict, forced out of the union as secretary-treasurer Jast Winter at an election held under police protection, surrendered for questioning early today. He denied any connection with the slaying. Two Others Sought. Anthony Kissane and Tom Flannigan were sought for questioning by police, who expressed the belief that Orr might have been slain by alleged racketeers, ousted by the union.

KLEIN THINKS Bays Basis Is Being Laid for Pros- perity That Will Resist An- other Unbalance. Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, believes the Nation is climbing out of the depression and making progress toward preventing future business declines. “We are obviously coming out of the depression now,” Dr. Klein said in a radio adress last night over the Co- lumbia Broadcasting System, and heard locally over WMAL. “And at the same time we are seeing the basis laid for an enduring. stable prosperity that will re- sist another unbalance.” | Stressing the need for accurate statistics and their correct interpreta- | tion, he said that “better knowledge as | to ail stages of the intricate operation of industry, wider distribution of as- | certained facts and institution of effec- tive research jnto economic factors will make for business stability.” The Commerce Department’s newly | revized survey of current business was held up as a splendid guide for busi- ness, but the speaker said additional figures always will be demanded. He said statistics were needed show- ing how stocks of finished goods were running, fluctuations in the total of real estate and personal credits extended in the country, unemployment and what new forms of transportation were doing to the business traffic.
