Thp name of nhn Dillinirpr Miri- Western desperado, rang through the legislative chamber time and again during debate on the measures, which are parts of Attorney General Cummtngs' 12-point program for investing law authorities with greater power to deal with kidnapers, gangsters and their ilk. The House gave up its Saturday holiday to put the bills through. A Marked Contrast In marked contrast with the protracted consideration and long delays that preceded enactment of what became known as the Lind- bergh kidnaping law, the willing House in only a few moments gave its to an amendatory bill already passed by the Senate which would authorize the death penalty for kidnapers who take their victims across State lines. The Patman reward bill, which would authorize an appropriation of $25,000 to be used for rewards for the capture of designated public enemies, "dead or alive," and as muchc more for rewards for information leading to arrest and conviction of criminals, stipulates the Attorney General must determine whether a person has previously been convicted of a felony before he may be designated a public en emy and subject of the reward. Cummings Criticized Representative Patman pointed out to the House that "the only reward up for Dilllnger today is $25." The Attorney General came in for criticism from Representative Young who termed Cummings' assertion that there were ome 200,000 armed gangsters, an absurt, asinine Young, who sought to reduce the reward authorizations from $25,000 to $10,555, said "it Is time someone I the Representative Oliver said Cummings' estimate obviously was made to call the attention of the people to the rampant crime in the country.

Oliver pleaded "to give the criminals both barrels of the governmental shot-gun." Crime to Attack U. S. Officer A Senate approved bill to make it a Federal crime to kill or assault a United States officer while on duty was passed by the House. The bill, which crocs hark to the Senate for action r.n House amend- I ments, would make it a Federal crime to kill or assault a United States Marshal or his deputy, special agent of the Justice Department's Division of Investigation, Post Office Inspector, Secret Service Operative, Coast Guard officer or enlisted man or an employe of a Federal penal institution. Spurred by the bloodshed left behind in the pursuit of Dilllnger, the House gave up its usual Saturday holiday to act on the anti-crime bills.

Other Measures Tassed Other Senate measures, passed with amendments to be approved before they go to the President, included: Providing a penalty of 10-years imprisonment for an employe of a Federal penal Institution or other person who instigates a prison riot or aids in the escape of prisoners. Making it a Federal crime to rob a Federal Reserve or otherwise nationally affiliated bank. Extending the motor vehicle theft act to make it a Federal crime to transport interstate securities, merchandist or money worth $5,000 or more which the carrier knows has been stolen.

"Fine," Major Cunningham said, "I'll be glad to come." When Mr. and Mrs. Ingersoll drove to the Cunningham home at 68-10 Continental Forest Hills, to pick up their guests at 8 pjn. Friday, they learned that the Controller had gone through the day without lunch and arrived at his home only a few minutes before. The Controller, on the ride into Lon Island, chatted about his fondness for horses and bathing and was enthusiastic over the holiday.

The two families had a snack of supper when they arrived at the rambling, quaint estate on Duck Island, then the Controller retired at 11 p.m., after a walk with his host through the pines and down to the beach.

The first reports at City Hall were that Major Cunningham had been thrown fro mhis horse and was seriously injured. Fifteen min utes later, just after 12:30, came; word that the Controller was dead The Mayor gazed blankly at his desk and said: "The great loss to the city of New York is certainly an irrepera-ble loss to me. One just wouldn't be human if he weren't tempted to disclose the fact that it is a terrible loss to me." Brother Notified The Mayor hesitated a moment, and added: "We'll carry on." Dr.

John Rebb Cunnineham, Manhattan physician and brother of the Controller, was notified, and the Mayor placed a fire department machine and motorcycle escort at his disposal to speed him to Duck Island.

May 5 Wi The NRA has burst In on the Illinois General Assembly like an unwelcome guest, embroiled the Legislature in a quarrel and forced it to work overtime. They're even talking of hauling the absentees in on stretchers to get their votes.

Gov. Henry Horner shot the NRA issue into the lower arm of the Assembly as a gesture nf friendship for the National Administration, and the inflammation was not slow in spreading. At his instance a State NRA enforcement bill was introduced on April 18 In what everyone thought was the the de8th watch of a long special session.

Hutchison, author and publicist who was an official of a British commission in Upper iSlesia In 1931, stuck by his guns, however, but didn't visit the embassy.

Brussels 'Distgusted' Brussels was deeply stirred. Semi-ofifcial circes called the remarks "disgusting" and "insulting to the dead" and said the Colonel wanted "to get a little notoriety." They said the beloved monarch always used a rope In his solo mountain ascents so as to anchor himself to some projection as a safeguard against missing his footing. It was pointed out, too, that it was "nonsensical" to say nobody in Belgium dared speak of the death since hundreds of persons daily visit the scene of tragedy, a cliff near Namur. A spokesman of the Belgian Embassy in London fumed over the remarks. "If Hutchison will come to this embassy and dare to repeat it to me, I will give him a punch on the jaw and tell him it is the most scandalous thing I ever heard," he r'eclared vehemently.

America's current ranking outlaw, is "Just a dumb Mulrooney, now head of the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Con trol Board, thus characterized the Indiana desperado last night before the Garet Club of Buffalo.

"The really clever crook," he added, is the man whois so smart he never touches any crime that will make the headlines in the newspapers He is the man who commits crimes neainst notorious characters who cannot get police protection, so that he gets the profits without the publicity. The newspapers are to lose sight of the clever criminals." The kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby wasn't so clever, either, he concluded.
