2 BANK BANDITS SLAIN IN FIGHT WITH OFFICERS
Police Recover $13,000 Loot After Wild Chase After Illinois Gang.
DANVILLE. III., Dec. 16—(UP)
Corn belt authorities annihilated a bank bandit gang today in a 75-mile an hour battle ln which two of the bandits were killed, one was wounded critically and two more were arrested. One deputy sheriff. Joe Walker, 55, Dana, 111., was killed and two others were wounded slightly.
To complete the story, the sheriffs and deputies of half a dozen counties lu Indiana and Illinois through which the chase led. recovered the $13,000 the bandits rook from the Cttiaens' State bank at Clinton, Ind., a few hours before.
Almost as soon as the robber sextette sped away from Clinton, chief of police Everett Helm and deputy sheriff Joe Walker of Dana, Ind., roared after them in the chief's coupe. A national guard airplane took ofT soon after, to aid in spotting the fugitives.
The bandits changed automobiles four times until Helm and Walker began to gain on them. Then they poked a machine gun from the back window of their last car and started to fire at their pursuers. Walker was serl-

Before retaining Davis, Beesemyer had said that he wanted to get the affair over with as quickly as possible. He did not have an attorney when he appeared in court for arraignment Monday and was instructed by Judge Walton Wood to provide himself with counsel.

Meanwhile, Karl N. Moore, I Beesemyer’s associate in the Elmer Oil Co., Ltd., was served j with a grand jury subpoena' after a 48 hour search. He said that the defunct oil company, In which !

because of lack of cooperation among Its leaders,” Franco declared in an exclusive interview : with the United Press correspond-! ent at Vlafra, near here, where he is interned.
■ “It will triumph, however, pos-) sibly within two months, because a republic must be proclaimed for j the good of Spain. The house of the Bourbons ls incompatible with j freedom.”
I Franco declared that the Span-I ish officers who fled to Portugal I yesterday, flaeing after their rebellion at Cuarto Vientos air field j outside Madrid, had flared up and 1 failed, “were alone responsible for j the revolution.”
”1 have received no word from I premier Ilamaso Berengufr,” Franco, political refugee and now a rebel, declared. “If he wants me now, he will have to come to Lisbon to fetch me.”
Replying to reports circulated by the government of Spain that the revolution was Inspired by communists, Franco said:
“The reports are untrue. The revolution was purely military, backed by the people.”
The daring flyer, who Inspired the admiration aud imagination of the Spanish people by his transatlantic flight to South America before he turned to politics, at present is occupying a room ln the famous Mafra convent, now used as a government infantry school. He and Pablo Rada, his mechanic, long associated with him in his flights and escapades, share the room.

PARIS, Dec. 16—(UP)—The condition of Raymond Poincare, wartime president of France and eminent among present-day French statesmen, was somewhat better this evening, but attending physicians said his illness was still grave.
A bulletin issued at 5,45 p. m. said that a “slight amelioration” was noticeable In Poincare's condition. His physicians during the afternoon had said that the leader's condition wan ‘‘satisfactory and sensibly better.”
He was believed far from out of danger, however, and lay half-paralyzed. An increasing danger of uremia was feared—a complication which might prove fatal, ln view of Poincare’s age and weakened condition. He is 70 years old.
Wild rumors circulated through Paris all day, particularly on the stock exchange, where trading was affected by persistent reports that Poincare had died.

to President Hoover for signature.

ISSUES WARNING
Garner late today brought his warning before the House, asking floor-leader John CJ. Tllson if action could bo expected hy Dec. 23.
“We're not trying lo filibuster, as you did yesterday,'' Tllson replied to Garner.
Garner based his charge on th* action today of the House agriculture committee, in which Ihe Republicans by a strict party vote decided to postpone action on the drought, loan bill until secretary of agriculture Arthur M. Hyde is heard.
BILL NEEDED
"The country needs that bill,” Garner said, “It will take at least 30 days to get operation! started after lt is enacted, and we are not going home until It goes to the president.”
Senate Democratic leader Ar thur T. lioblnson said be would not agree lo any adjournment “until I see some light on these relief bills."
Today’s deveolpments failed t« further advance relief action.
