BASKEHVILL Raleigh, July 23. —Although there seem to be some strange goings-on in I connection with the contest already under way for the speakership of the 1935 House, most observers here who have been following the contest so far are convinced that Robert Grady Johnson, of Pender, already is out in the lead and likely to be the next speaker, although Laurie McEachern of Hoke county, has als 0 been mak ing some pretty good progrss. Then there is Lee Lumpkin, of Franklin, who is also a candidate, and who is credited with having the sup port of the Douglass brothers here in Wake county, one of whom will be a member of the 1935 House and the other of the “Third House”. There are also some very definite indications that Reginald L. Harris, of Roxboro; Person county, who was speaker of the 1933 House, would not be at all averse to being elected speak er again. While he is not yet an avow ed candidate, there are indications that both he and his friends are keeping their ears very close to the ground in the hope of hearing favorable rumbl ings. For a while observers here were un able to explain rather persistent re ports to the effect that Lumpkin was making unusual progress in his cam paign and making a much better im pression upon newly nominated mem bers of the House than either Johnson or McEachern. These reports were that when Lumpkin oreezed into the office, store, or what-have-you, of a newly nominated House member his pleasant smile and beaming person ality instantly made an excellent im pression. As a result some thought. Lumpkin might give both Johnson and McEachern much moret. rouble than had been expected. Fro, despite Lumpgin’s long experience in the House, the fact that he has consist ently been identified with the more radical element, including the Bowie, “economy at any price” bloc, appar ently makes it certain that he cannot be elected speaker, most political ob servers here agree. So many were at a loss to understand or explain the recent boom in Lumpkin stock. There has evidently been some method on the part of those who have been making it appear that Lumpkin was gaining more strength than he really seems to have, according to some of the more astute political seuths here. They) maintain that those who have been blowing Lump kin’s horn so lustily are really much more interested in seeing Harris re elected speaker than in seeing Lump kin get the post, but that their strategy has been to boost Lumpkin in an ef fort to discourage the backers of both Johnson and McEachern, evidently in the hope of bringing about a deaa (Continued on Page Two.)

ICentral Press) EUiPEEXPECTED Frisco Strike Regarded There as Its Start; Na tionwide Issue By LESLIE EICHEL New York, July 23. (CP) —European newspaper editors became unusually interested in the United States at the beginning of the San Francisco strike. They desired to know whether an American Communist revolution was beginning. * * * Eager One of the American. Communist leders was eager to have it appear that the San Francisco strike was the beginning. He “spread” himself to one newspaverman who sought him out. And Europe actually desired his in terview above all other interviews! * * * Age-Old From the New York point of view, the San Francisco imbroglio came into being through a more intense phase of the present world economic evolution. This is the test question, throughout the world: Shall labor gain a greater share and a larger voice of what it produces? Until today labor has not had the power—the concerted power—to de mand what it considers its rights. And industrialists, fearful of losing their grasp on business (and politics) are bitterly holding out against this world-wide ssault upon their entrench ments. In the dictator countries they own the governments. In the United States, the government is slipping. That chiefly is the European view. ♦ * T Wages Os course, American wages irk many Europeans of the 'upper classes’. One hears that often. But it looks as if Europe will have to come to the American standard of Ttving. Much of that standard—according to research organizations—is far too low as it is. • For example, 11 million American women work —the majority because they are forced to —while 10 million American men can’t get work. Wom en, in at least a third of the cases, can be obtained for much less money. That’s why they work —and the men do not. The United States labor department has some interesting i inures on wom en. workers, 6* PAGES TODAI FIVE CENTS COPY Government Men Set Trap Into Which He Walks, and He Grabs His Gun Too Late SHOT DOWN AS HE DEPARTS THEATRE Notorious Gangster Had Had Himself Made Over About the Face and Head, But He Was Recognized and Shot Dead; Three Bul lets Strike the Bandit (Copyright, by Associated Press) Chicago, July 23 (AlP)—Dillinger’s dead. He swaggered from a neighborhood theatre last night into the raking fire of government guns. Too late he saw the gleaming steel of the trap set for him. His hand went for his gun. Tod late. Three bullets tore into his body one in the neck, /.wo in the body. He staggered and fell. It was the end of John Dillinger. The hour was 10:40 p. m., central daylight saving time. The place was just outside the Bio graph theatre, a neighborhood movie at Fullerton and Lincoln avenues, on the Northwest side, in territory where blood of many a Chicago gangster has flowed before. Had the climax of his career been pre-arranged, it could have been no more sensational. There was even an audience loitering about the vicin ity of the theatre, drawn by the pres ence of so many Department of Just ice agents that for a time some believ ed a hold-up was planned. Dillinger, his hair dyed a darker (Continued on Pass 'litre®.) Dillinger Turned In By Woman - Chicago, July 23 (AP)— John Dillinger lay on a cold 6lab in the Cook county morgue today. He was slain by three bullets fired by unnamed Federal operatives last night, apparently after they had been tipped off by a woman. Crowds of the curious milled through the gloomy building seeking to view the body of the most notorius des perado of the year, and to verify to their own satisfaction that Federal crack shotsmen had finally terminat ed the incredible crime career of the internationally known hoodlum.

Lonely Sentinel Is Lost by His Men Little America, Antarctica, July 23 (AP)—Grave concern for the safety of Near Admiral Richard E. Byrd was felt today. The trail leading to his lovely weather observation outpost was lost. A searching party that set out Fri day to bring him back to the main base reported it did not pick up the trail. The ground was 50 miles out on the 123-mile trek. Orange flags with which the trail had been marked could not be found half that ditsance, the relief party reported. Byrd followed the trail four months ago to take up his lonely sentinel duty. The expedition zigzagged back and forth over the ice barrier and travel led 130 miles to get to the 50-mile post on the trail. A nest of deep crevices lies ahead..
