Maverick Is
Indicted On 5
Felony Counts
Misdemeanor Charges
Also Name Mayor But
Details Not Given
By United Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 16.—May-
or Maury Maverick, former con-
gressman, was indicted today by a
Bexar County grand jury on five
felony counts and “many" misde-
meanor charges.
The nature of the charges was
not made public.
The Indictments were announced
in a surprise report to Dist. Judge
W. W. McCrory. Details of the
report were given to Carl Wright,
Maverick’s attorney, who read
them to the mayor.
Probe Poll Tax Report
For the past two weeks the
grand jury has been investigating
reporta that poll taxes for voters
had been paid by the International
Garment Workers Union. An offi-
cial of the union, called before the
grand jury last week, denied the
allegation that the union had paid
the poll taxes but aserted that it
had contributed to Maverick's
campaign fund.
Maverick has acknowledged con-
tributions from the garment work-
ers in his campaign for mayor, but
has denied knowledge of any poll
tax irregularities. He charged that
the investigation, directed by his
long-time political foe, Dist. Atty.
John R. Shook, was “dirty poli-
tics.”
Won for Quin
Wright successfully represented
Maverick's predecessor and oppo-
nent, former Mayor C. K. Quin,
when Quinn was indicted several
months ago on charges of embez-
zling city funds. The case against
Quinn was thrown out of court on
the grounds that Quin did not
have possession of the funds al-
legedly embezzled.
Fugitives Sought
No Place Like Home
SWEETHOME
Henry Van Dyke said it first, and now residents of London's
Walworth district label an air raid shelter, "Home, Sweet Home.”
Women and children burrowed underground in daytime, men at
night, to build six shelters in area. Each has gas-proof room, radio,
cards, games and supplies of tea, milk and sugar.
Hitler Asks A
Stalin, ‘What
To Do Now?’
Courier Carries Note
To Moscow; Italy Also
May Be Consulted
BERLIN, Oct. 16.—Adolf Hitler
was reported by usually reliable
sources today to have sent a com-
munication to Josef Stalin by
courier and to expect an early
answer due to affect Germany’s
next step in the European war.
While official sources remained
silent on the reported communica-
tions, it was said elsewhere that
a courier carried the message to
Moscow over the weekend.
Italy Bound by Alliance.
There was no definite indica-
tion of the contents of the com-
munication but it was believed
that the answer would have an
important bearing on future steps
to be taken by the Nazis.
It had been reported by Nazis
that Germany would consult with
both Russia and Italy as a result
of the failure of the Nazi-Soviet
peace offensive.
Germany and, Russia had for-
mally agreed to consult on fur-
ther measures if their attempt to
bring an end to the European war
failed. Italy is bound by a mili-
tary alliance to consult with the
Nazi regime.

Convention; Scarcity of Materials Is Factor
War was seen as a stimulus to a general movement of industries
here from the north and northeast by manufacturers gathered here
today for the first session of their annual two-day state meeting.
It was the first time the association has held a general meeting
in Fort Worth. More than 400 were expected by nightfall.
--.---♦ F. M. Burkhead, association
president from Houston, declared
the only factor to retard South-
western manufacturing would be
"difficulty in getting materials."
He revealed that his industry, that
of manufacturing stoves and sheet
metal products, already had "en-
countered trouble in getting m te-
rial from the eastern steel lills.”
Fierce Fights On Sea, In Clouds
Indicate Hitler Finally Has

By JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign News Editor
A sudden burst of sea and air fighting hinted today that
Nazis were starting the “war in earnest” threatened by Adolf
Hitler.
Coincidently with reports in Berlin that the fuehrer had sent
a message by courier to Josef Stalin as a preliminary to charting
Germany’s future course, there came:

As One of Trio Who
Abducted Three Men
By United Press.
AUSTIN, Oct. 16.—An inten-
sive search was being conducted
throughout Central Texas today
for three men who yesterday kid-
naped Mayor E. F. Kriegel of Gid-
dings. his son, Lawrence, and
Rudy Weigalt, a filling station op-
erator.
Officers believed the kidnapers
to be three of four convicts who
escaped from the Sugarland Pris-
on Farm Saturday. A pair of
convict trousers were found in a
car abandoned by the trio and
two of the men were reported to
be wearing prison caps.
Two Women With Gang.
Two men walked into a filling
station in Giddings yesterday and
asked Weigalt to drive them a
few miles from town with five
gallons of gasoline for their car.
When the three arrived where the
car was supposedly stalled, the
men drew guns and another man
and two women transferred from
the stalled automobile into Wei-
galt’s car.
Driving toward Caldwell, they
met Mayor Kriegel and his son
who were returning from a dove
hunt. The hunters were halted at
gun point, and all proceeded to-
ward Caldwell in Kriegel’s sedan.
Release Captives.
The car was stopped near Cald-
well and an attempt made to tie
the captives to trees, but failing
to do so, the captors drove off
after warning the three Giddings
men to remain on the spot for an
hour.______________-____
Mayor Kriegel and the others
stopped a passing motorist and
were taken to Caldwell where
they gave the alarm.

Map Tenant Rules
Low-Income Groups
Will Be Favored In
Tenants for Fort Worth's low-
cost housing projects will be se-
lected from families of the low-in-
come • brackets and preferably
those now living in unsafe and un-
sanitary quarters. Executive Di-
rector Homer A. Hunter of the lo-
cal Housing Authority said today.
Mr. Hunter, back from a week-
long tenant selection conference
in Washington, stressed the fact
that "there will be no discrimina-
tion between applicants."
When the two big projects are
completed here, there will be 502
living units available. Mr. Hunt-
er expects between 3500 and 1000
applicants. Preliminary applica-
tions are being taken now but the
serious job of tenant selection will
get under way in January.
While families of low income
will be sought, the economic fac-
tor of their ability to pay rent
must be considered, he said.
The Housing Authority will
seek the advice of local welfare
authorities and city officials in
working out details of the regula-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —
Chairman Key Pittman (Demo-
crat, Nevada) of the Foreign, Re-
lations Committee, agreed today
to amend President Roosevelt's
neutrality measure to eliminate
90-day credits and restore it to
a strict cash-and-carry principle.
Pittman drafted the amendment
after bi-partisan attacks on the
90-day credit section, which would
have permitted the President to
extend such credits to belligerent
purchasers under certain condi-
tions.
May Ease Path of Bill
The Administration's decision to
remove the controversial feature
was expected to ease the path
to final passage of the bill, key-
stone of which is repeal of the
existing ban on shipments of arms
to belligerents.
Pittman said that in drafting
the bill, it had been the commit-
tee’s intention to "require settle-
ment in cash or cash equivalents
as defined by the Attorney Gen-
eral.” Therefore, he added, “I

command first announced that
the Repulse had been put out of

that statement. The British of-
ficially denied the claim.
3. Unconfirmed reports from
Norwegian fishermen that three
battleships and several airplanes,
presumably British, had attacked
and disabled or sunk a lone war-
ship, which they believed to be
German, off Vaagoe Island.
4. A German announcement
that a British bombing plane and
a French reconnassance plane
had been shot down in the Rhine-
land. The British air ministry
said that British planes made a
successful reconnaissance flight
over central and northern Ger-
many last night.
Of a crew of four men in one
of the attacking planes in the raid
near Edinburgh one man was
drowned, two were killed by Brit-
ish gunfire and a fourth was res-
cued.
The Scottish Ministry of Home
Security announced that the Ger.
man raiders caused no civilian cas-
ualties and that there was no dam-
age to property.
Indicating that more than
three German psines were in the
attacking squadron, it was un-
derstood that “survivors” were
driven hack over the North Sea
by pursuing Royal Air Force
fighters.
. The objectives of the raiders-
which met counter-attack by Royal
Air Force planes and anti-aircraft
batteries—were understood to be
the Firth of Forth bridge and the
Rosyth Naval Base. No bombs
struck the bridge.
Bombs Fall Into Sea
It was announced that no bombs
fell on land, but the German raid-
era did release bombs which fell
into the sea.
Reports after the raid said that
three members of the crew of an-
other German plane were captured
in the Pentland Hills.
The enemy raiders were met as
they reached the coast by Royal
Air Force fighters and anti-
aircraft gunfire. Shrapnal fell in
the streets of Edinburgh but no
air-raid alarm was sounded.
Bridge Built in 1883
The Firth of Forth Bridge is
between Edinburgh and Rosyth,
but nearer Rosyth, which is on
the opposite side of the Firth from
Edinburgh.
The- bridge is 2765 yards long.
It was built in 1883, extending
from Queensferry to North
Queensferry, in Fife. The Rosyth
naval base lies about two miles
northwest of the bridge, and thus
would be cut off from the sea If
the bridge was destroyed, blocking
the channel.
On Sept. 27, Germany claimed
that a 10,000-ton British cruiser
was damaged off the Isle of May,
in a raid on the Firth of Forth
sector.
A flight of about 850 miles
from Germany and return was
involved in the Nazi raid.

"We may have to build some

be great expansion in Southwest-
ern industries as long as this war
lasts."

“It was a hard game to lose.
Why did we fall at the one-yard
line? We just couldn't get
over, is the only thing I know.”
"We should have beaten them
bad," Duckworth added. "They've
got a good ball club, though."
A group of loyal but subdued
fans met the Frogs at the station,
accompanied them in taxis and
private cars to the campus.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The

Rock Island and Gulf Railway vs.
the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, involving the jobs of at
least 53 employes in the railroad's
auditing office at Fort Worth.
The case was set down for ar-
gument on Nov. 6.
At issue is an I. C. C. order
which provided, in effect, that if
the railroad moved its auditing
offices to Chicago, the employes
in Fort Worth who were not re-
tained" would get severance pay,
and that those who owned homes

The railroad challenged this on
the grounds that the I. C. C. had
no power to set up such condi-
tions, and cited the fact that to
carry out these provisions would
cost a large amount of money.
The commission, by a divided
vote, held that it had the power
to make the conditions to protect
the Fort Worth employee, and
that such protection was in the
public interest
Forces of the Citizen's Safety
Commission gathered in the
plans for a campaign of public
enlightment on the problems of
pedestrian safety, with Dean Col-
by D. Hall of T. C. U. chairman of
the committee on education, lead-
ing the drive.
"We have grown so fast in this
auto age.” Dean Hall said, "That
we haven't learned yet to adapt
ourselves to the changes in our
living habits necessary for safety."
By posters, movies, talks and
school study, the safety education
committee hopes to educate the
pedestrian to his responsibilities so
as to reduce the number of pedes-
trian deaths in Tarrant County
every year, Dean Hall declared.

Last of the city's 1939 tax state-

Collection of city and school
taxes, meanwhile, continued

Armour A Co., representing the
packing firm's first half payment
on 1939 taxes, topped today’s col-
