INGENUITY. T A nearby naval aviation base recently it became necessary to run a length of wire through some cement pipe under a hangar for a distance of 75 feet. Smart boys around the feld tried and tried to figure out a way to do the job, had about surrendered to the idea of tearing up the cement floor, unjointing the pipe. Then came a pipe dreamer, as {i were, who brought with him a cat, borrowed from the store room, where it had been on mousing duty. Fashioned a fabric harness for kitty, attached the wire line to the harness, put her in one end of the pipe and then closed it aftcr her. A Greek chorus of encourzgement Wwas set up at the open end, a 'hunder of “scats” rattled over the cat’s head from the other approach. In short order she had run the line. “The services of the commanding officer's police dog. held in reserve at the starting point, were not required,” says the official report of the fleet, * x ¥ SYMBOLS.

By the Associated Press. Richard B. Hardman city solicitor of Massillon, Ohio, told the National Labor Relations Board today only 5 of 165 pickets arrested after the Mas- sillon steel strike riot July 11 were subject to deportation. Hardman sald he investigated those arrested because the Massillon Law and Order League complained that many of the pickets were aliens and in this country illegally. The Massillon official testified at a hearing on a Labor Board com- plaint that the Republic Steel Corp. had violated the Wagner labor act at its Ohio plants before and during the recent steel strike. Hardman told the board that he, along with Chief of Police Stanley W. Switter had resisted until July 7 “‘pressure” to enlarge the police force. He said that when Harry Angstadt and Ralph Peppard, Republic officials, presented & list of Republic employes they wanted placed on the police force he told them ‘“it takes a cer- tain temperament to be a police of- ficer” and that the men suggested were “too excitable.” Yesterday the board was told by Chief Switter and City Solicitor Rich- ard B. Hartman that pressure from the plant officials and the so-called law and order organization had forced enlargement of the local policing bodies and had precipitated the riot on June 11 in which two strike pickets were killed. Urged to Enlarge Force. From the time the strike started, Switter told the board. Republic offi- cials and Massillon business men in the Law and Order League urged him to enlarge his 18-man force.

William Marlin, commander of the Ohio National Guard in the strike area, and the Law and Order League.

ENGLAND IS QUIETED Admiralty Admits German Craft Was in Area, but British Ship Not Involved. | By the Associatea Press, LONDON., July 22 —Excitement over a report that a German submarine was stopped by a British destroyer off Portland faded today after the British admiralty denied it and it was with- drawn by the press association which carried it. Said American-born Lady Astor to the chuckles of her confreres in Par- liament: “Another war has gone west.” The admiralty said it was true enough that a German submarine had passed the area, but said the boat was neither stopped nor involved in any way with the British vessels maneuver- ing near that English Channel naval base. The admiralty said the sub- marine was the U-34 The press association had quoted informed sources as saying the Ger- man submarine U-27 was seen off Portland Monday night, that the de- stroyer Wolfhound ordered her to the surface and, after questioning the commander, allowed her to proceed.

One of two farmers, held as hostages by Pete Traxler and Fred Tindol, dangerous outlaws, tells here how they turned tables on the gunmen, killing one and seri- ously wounding the other. After the shooting, the farmers, James E. Denton and Frank Trimmer, brought the outlaws into Boswell, Okla. BY JAMES E. DENTON. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 22 (N.AN.A) —I came very nearly going riding with Pete Traxler and Fred Tindol without my pants. It hap- pened this way. I went to Kingston from my home in Asher to visit my father, W. M. Denton. We were all asleep. The first thing I knew I heard my father talking Then I heard some one pounding at the screen aoor on the back porch. 1 crawled out of bed in my night clothes to see what it was all about Just as I walked in the Kitchen these two fellows came bursting through the door. Tindol had a rifle over his arm, and Traxler held a revolver in his hand. I had a pretty good idea who they were, because 1 knew a big hunt was on for them. I knew, too, I wasn't going to take any chances with them You could see they had been having a time of it. Their clothes were in rags and awfully dirty. Their shoes were stuffed. They smelled of sweat They hadn't shaved for several days. Traxler opened up the conversation. “We've got to have that car out there,” he said, “'to get out of here.” It was my car he mentioned, so 1 spoke up. “I guess you can have it” T said, although I knew blamed well he could. “Where's your keys?" he said. Puts On His Pants. He trotted right at my heels as I went to the bed room. I took time to put on my pants. He kept after me to hurry up. When I had my pants on I felt down in my pocket and gave him the keys. He tossed them in his hands a mo- ment and then he said “I'm afraid we're going to have to take you with us.” I went along without any trouble, although I was scared to death they would run into a bunch of officers and | get me killed.

He kept pushing him toward the car. Mrs. Trimmer got tired of it and tried to interfere, but they just swept her aside and we went on. Traxler took the wheel again, with Trimmer beside him.

I blinked my eyes at him several times, real fast, and he winked back. That was all we ever said to one an- other, but it was pienty. We knew for sure that if we got a chance we would have it out with those fellows. They gave us the chance. Along about noon they were getting more and more tired. We could catch them nodding almost to sleep once in a while. Finally, Tindol said: “Drive up there under that big tree on the hill and let’s rest a bit.” Trimmer drove where he was told and stopped the car. We just sat there, nobody saying a thing. Then Traxler nodded. He came to with a Jerk, but in another minute he nodded again and this time his chin fell down on his chest. Make Grab for Guns. Trimmer looked at me again. He looked like the cat that ate the ca- nary, and winked. I winked back and began to keep an eye on my man. His eyes were heavy, but he wouldn't go to sleep. Finally, however, he did turn his head to look out the back window. That was his mistake. Trimmer nodded his head and we went for those guns. We were lucky. We got them. I shot Tindol without any monkey business. He started out of the car. Just at the same time Trimmer let Traxler have it. Then he whirled around and sent one after my man. He hit him as he was falling and he was dead when he hit the ground. I shot at Traxler, too, but the doctors say I missed him. We stayed with them a minute listening to Traxler, the bad man, beg us not to shoot him any more. Then I stayed with them while Trimmer went for help. That's all there was to it. I hope next time I go see somebody I get my visit out without any of this business. (Copyright, 1837, by the North Americaa Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) Bandit Slaying Re-Enacted Here’s J. E.

Frank Trimmer, 50, a farmer, and J. E. Denton, 44, oil fleld worker, snatched guns from the men's sides when the exhausted fugitives dozed in a car near Boswell, Okla. After being brought to a hospital here and placed under armed guard, Traxler appeared bitter against the man who wounded him. “I tried to tell the guy he didn't need to shoot me because I was all through,” Traxler said, “I knew it. I didn't have a chance. But I just wasted my breath. He didn't wait for me to say anything. He just shot. I fell out of the car to keep him from killing me.” Trimmer, who was driving, was kid- naped from his home and forced to drive his car, after the two fugitives had ditched the car in which they Kidnaped Denton. “Traxler told Trimmer to pull up at the roadside,” said Denton, “and we would wait until it got dark.” Denton, riding in the back seat with Tindol, said he saw Tindol's gun was in the seat as he sat beside Trimmer. Traxler dozed. b The two hostages exchanged glances in the rear view mirror, and both grabbed for the guns. “When I got the car parked and saw Traxler had dozed off,” said Trimmer, “I glanced back at Den- ton and saw Tindol was asleep, too. ‘Both of us grabbed for their guns. Both of us shot Tindol at the same time, then Denton shot Traxler.” “Traxler begged us to get him a doctor. He said he was afraid he might bleed to death. After a while he started threatening us. He said he knew he was going to die.” As four armed guards watched over Traxler in his hospital room here, Gov. James V. Alired of Texas an- nounced he would ask extradition.
