Post; Louis Pink, member of the Municipal Housing Authority, and Borough President Ingersoll for preliminary study.

Provision for a 15-year amortization Deriod on funds advanced.

The picture showed the prose cutor with his arm around Dillinger. The Attorney General showed reporters the photograph and said. "This shows a complete lack of sense of responsibility or propriety and common sense. "The negligence of these people may result in the death of some honest person who is trying to effect Dillinger's capture," he said.

While New York City's entire police force was combing the city for John Dillinger, escaped bank robber and murderer, a radio flash at 12:30 p.m. today from Chicago Police Headquarters sent all squad cars there to a south side neighborhood where Dillinger and a woman were reported as having been seen. The Chicago police, according to the Associated Press, were informed that the escaped killer was seen driving past the Southmoor Hotel on the South Side in a sedan with a woman. This is a section in which a gas oline station attendant said he recognized Dillinger last night. At the same time Al Farb, an Indianapolis bondsman, notified the police of that city that he had received a letter which apparently had been written by the bandit and Continued on Page 2 Boston Beans Lure Girl From Salami Stella Abramowitz, who was 11 yesterday, wanted to go to Boston.

Meanwhile, the New York Curb Exchange agreed to furnish the Senate Banking Committee a list of sellers of air company stocks prior to cancellation of the airmail contracts, and Chairman McKellar of the Senate Postofflce Committee told newsmen that private aviation companies whose mail contracts were cancelled would have to undergo a thorough housecleaning if they expected to receive any contracts under President Roosevelt' program. Asked about the feasibility of a six-months' qualification period for mail bidders, as proposed by the President, Henderson asserted least a year would be required to build up a smooth-running organization. "Even at that, men would have to be employed from old companies." Push Pay Inquiry The Postofflce Department meanwhile pushed an investigation to determine whether airmail carrying companies had been overpaid. Talking to newsmen with a tentative draft of a bill to carry out the President's plan before him, McKellar said the legislation would be introduced in the next few days.

In taking his commoner bride at a registry office in the heart of busy London, the 26-year-old Prince like Lennart, his cousin abandoned his princely rights for a romantic union with the girl of his dreams. Instead of a carillon of bells pealing for their wedding in the ancient capital of the Prince's royal forefathers, Sigvard and his bride had chattering songbirds in a little park outside and a sea of smiling faces in a sympathetic throng to welcome them on their wedding day.

Obviously happy, the two were wed by the "marrying" superintendent of the registry office, aided by the assistant registrar. The ceremony was of only a few minutes duration. Each had only two sentences to say. Erika was wearing a smart navy blue tailored costume, with a hat to match, and a spray of white orchids on one of the lapels of her coat. Outside the registry office the street was impasable because of a milling crowd, but its several hun- Continued on Page 3 Pension Faces Bill Veto Washington, March 8 P) President Roosevelt today summoned House Democratic leaders to give them his views on the Senate action In adding $350,000,000 to appropriations for war veterans and Government employes.
