b "' A—4 « BINGHAM'S LETTER WARNS REPEALISTS Tells Wet Leaders Not to Be Misled by Democratic Pro- hibition Platform. B the Associated Press. Senator Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, in a letter today to officials ©f repeal organizations, warned them not to be misled by the Democratic prohibition platform and to ascertaim the views of congressional candidates before extending them support. Explaining the purpose of his letter, B.ngham told newspaper raen more Republicans had always voted to change the prohibition laws than Dem- ocrats m Congress until the recent Senate vote to take up the Cilass reso- lution, which Binghem said was based more on the Republican than the Democratic platform. “Deceitful Straddle.” “This amendment,” Bingham said, referring to the Glass proposal, “is the worst possible straddle. It is a deceit- ful straddle. It is worse than the Re- publican platform which I fought be- cause the Republican platform did not straight pretend to stand for Tepea) and this does. . . “I fear adoption of the Glass amend- ment will make more difficulty. “I am warning these organizations that if they are misled by the Demo- cratic platform or if they vote for Re- publicans who will merely carry out the epublican platform they will defeat eir own ends. “I want to appeal to them to make sure how the candidates are going to vote. Are they going to vote for real vepeal or the Glass amendment and nothing more liberal? Warns Repealists. “I would like to warn the leaders of the movement for repeal that if they are not careful as to whom they sup- port for Congress that we will get a mere modification of the eighteenth dmendment which will not do away with the speakeasy and its attendant evils, such as no regulation of hours, free admittance to children, loss of rev- enue and interference with the’ legiti- mate business of hotels and restau- rante.” Bingham also made public an excerpt from a letter he said was from Edward €ampion Achescn, Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, opposing the eighteenth amendment. “I feel that the amendment is a great detriment to the -welfare of the country,” Bishop Acheson- said, “and that we are criminal in abetting crim- inals with Government money which we are doing by not collecting the taxes and allowing them to collect them.” —_— e o PASTOR IS SUSPENDED IN CAR DEATH PROBE Milwaukee thop Holds Expul- sion Will Follow Conviction on Manslaughter Charge. By the Assoclated Press. MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 27.—Rev. Zenon Leonsnopcynski, pastor of St. Mary's Polish National Catholic Church, who faces manslaughter charges as a result of the death of a woman in a traffic accident, was suspended from his pulpit last night by Bishop Francis Nonczak. “A pastor, who in some way causes death, cannot officiate at an alfar until he has been vindicated in the eyes of the law,” the bishop said. “In event of convictioh, expulsion from the church must fellow.” Rev. Mr. Leonsnopcynski, 28, drove an automobile which killed Mrs. Laura Fellows. A coroner’s jury recommended that he be prosecuted. It was testified he did not stop for an arterial highway sign.

A number of very bad bills, proposed | and voted by the Democratic majority | in the House, was successfully met and | finally defeated by actual or threatened | vetoes by President Hoover. In short, it must be said that in spite of itself Congress in the last session passed an unusual amount of good legislation and nothing like as much bad legislation as might have been ex- pected under the circumstances. This fortunate result is due almost entirely to the President—to his dogged de- termfhation that ssémingly plausible but What he had done during the recess of Congress toward preventing a world-wide financial debacle seemed not to have caught the attention of the people generally, so it was without just cause | or reason that the President’s prestige Was Prob- | place closed.

When it is remembered that this is election year and that members of Con- gress look forward to joining the ranks of the unemployed with no less degree of anxiety than other mortals, much will be forgiven those who were ready to vote for park-barrel bills and other forms of swapping public revenues for votes—but not all. Some of the pro- posals voted for by a majority of Con- ess at the last session cannot be ustified even for a campaign year and I shall not attempt the task.

The attack resulted from an influx of Filipinos to the valley from other sec- tions of California in the Summer of 1930. They were employed on canta- loupe farms, displacing white labor. tion campaigns the latter part of 1930 and January, 1931, culminating in the attack of white laborers. It was estimated there were about 3,000 Filipinos in the valley then, but the great mn]aflg fled.

A cordon of State police guarded to- day the remains of the home of Harry Pettee, former president of the Gen- eral Carbonic Gas Co.of New York, who was indicted for grand larceny nearly 10 years ago for embezzlement of $300,- 000 in company funds. More than 300 “prospectors” rushed to the Pettee homestead to comb the wreckage within a’ short time after a worker’s pick had broken a hidden pre- serve jar and released a miniature flood of silver and gold coinage. More jars, tin cans and various other containers ylelded their hoarded wealth to the frenzled search before State troopers_drove the searchers from the scene, Estimates of the amount found ran as high as $3,000. Pettee disappeared a month before he was indicted, leaving a suicide note. He was a former mayor of this city. His former home was being razed to make way for a State building. With Attorney General Bennett today rested the decision as to the ownership of the money. 27,000 QUIT WORK Garment Workers’ Union Denies Strike Call. = NEW YORK, July 37 (#).—Machines in 1,450 garment shops throughout the city were silenced this morning as 27.- 000 workers, responding to orders issued by the International Ladies’ Garment ‘Workers' Union, dropj their tools and left for meeting halls to register their names.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 27.—“Celerity, cer- | tainty, fnality.” This is the call to arms in the unceasing, Nation-wide warfare against the mounting tide of bank robbery. Celerity of apprehension, certainty of prosecuticn, finality of punishment, says the American Bankers' Association, are the most effective safeguards against uu; modern bandit, who strikes alike at the | metropolitan trust company and the ! | country bank. The bankers' association, with 16,000 | members in 48 States—70 per cent cf | the profession—is engaged in a struggle to preserve the Nation's hoard of money and securities from an underworld that | has steadily grown stronger since the' World War. Small Towns Exposed. G. H H:ttendorf, assistant manager of the protective department, produced yesterday to show that in the six months ended in February, the last period for which complete statistics are available, American banks and trust companies suffered 288 daylight rob- beries and 37 night burglaries, or at the rate of 2 attacks every business day. | That the smaller the community the | greater the danger of robberies is indi- | cated by the fact that 114 of the 145 | holdups of banks occurred in towns of less than 10,000 population, five in towns of between 10,000 and 50,000, 13 in suburban areas and the | others in fairly large cities. “We are constantly urging upon our | members,” said Mr. Hottendorf, “the positive necessity, particularly in iso- | lated towns of the Middlewest and South, of such safety devices as bandit | resistance enclosures, tear gas system, | vigilance committees and silent alarms. “One or more of these may be ef- fective In case of attack, but they should be supplemented by an alert force of State Police equipped with radio and backed uj bge- fearless local force if | we are & successful nui menace of the armed robber.” | | | State Police Help. The States in which banks are best fortified to deal with banditry are prin- cipally those along the Atlantic Sea-| board from Maine to Florida, he said, | and the most successful of these have competent State police units. | The States in which banks present | the easiest problem for the bandit he | listed as Arkansas, Illinols, Towa, Kan- | sas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, | Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. None of them has State police. James E. Baum, head of the Pro- tective Department, sums up the situ- ation in this fashion: “We are entitled to adequate and more efficient police power equipped with modern arms, jof $1,000 on all banl transportation and communication to give the police an equal chance with the underworld.” ILLINOIS CURBS GANGS. | Drastic Co-eperative Efforts Given Credit for Decreasing Robberies. | CHICAGO, July 27 (#).—The bank robbery evil in Ilinois has been large- Iy minimized of late, due to the co-| operative efforts of the Illinols Bankers' Protective Association and State, county and municipal officials. Commenting last night on the “call to arms” for a relentless war on des- peradoes who prey upon the Nation's banking institutions, issued by the American Bankers' Association, officials reviewed a record of unusual accom- plishment against this type of criminal, extending over a period of more than two_years. The Illinois association sponsored an intensive anti-bank robber campaign in January, 1930, and iced & head price thieves. A crack investigating department of its own was organized under the direction of Ros C. Saunders. During the two years and five months that the drive has been in progress a dozen bandits have been ed, more than a hundred have been committed to penitentiaries, three have been elec- trocuted for murders during robberies, one electrocuted for slaying a police- man who sought to arrest him and a RUBIO AIDS HORSE SHOW MEXICO CITY, July 27 ().—Presl- dent Pascual Ortiz Rubio has promised thorough government support for an international horse show to be held at the stadium here December 14 to 19.
