'BANDITS ROB BA'NK:
'SOGHTUYPOSSES
ROACHDALE, Ind., Dec. 16.-(P)
-Ten men armed with machine
guns and sawed-off shotguns blew
open the safe of Roachdale State
bank early this morning and es-
caped with $4,500 in cash and
I bonds. The bandits severed tele-
graph and telephone cables and
the town was cut off from com-
munication with other places for
some time. Police and sheriff's
posses were seeking them today.
Before entering the bank, the
men kidnaped F. R. Jarvis, nightl
telegraph operator or the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, and locked
him in the telephone office above
the bank with Pauline Smith, 18,
operator, and Pauline's sister, 7,
who was spending the night with
her.
The robbers then broke into the
power plant and threw the switch,
cutting current off from all of
Roachdale.
After cutting all telephone cables,
the robbers broke into the bank
and blew the vault and fixtures to
pieces with three or four charges
of nitroglycerin. The entire front
of the bank building was blown out.
Bureau Plans Reform
in Short-Term Prisons
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-(P)-A
I double-edged drive to conquer the
meanest problem of federal crime-
cure proper housingof short-term
prisoners, is under way in the fed-
eral prison bureau.
Persuading state and county au-
thorities to clean up their jails and
rationalize discipline is one angle
of the attack; establishment of sev-
en new federal jails is the other.
Short-termers, may not be placed
in penitentiaries, so the governmentE
has had as many as 11,000 "board-
ers" in local jails during 1931.
Sanford Bates, celebrated pen-
ologist directing the bureau, point-
ed out today that jails taken as a
whole have been generally con-
demned as "dirty, unhealthy, and
offering untold gpportunities for
physical, mental and moral deter-
ioration."
"Here is a country with about 3,-
700 counties-each with a sepa-
rately-elected sheriff, with a hit-
or-miss and carelessly administered
jail system, with little or no funds
provided and with practically no
local nublic sentiment for improve-
ment." i

Vandenberg Is Named
to Important Office
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - ()P} -
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
has been elected chairman of the
Republican steering committee of
the senate, a most unusual honor
for a member who has served less
than four years. He succeeds sen-
ator Goff of West Virginia, who re-
tired from Congress,
Vandenberg's first act was to
write a letter to Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, Democratic leader, pro-
posing that all measures touching
the industrial situation be treated
in annon-partisan manner, and
pledging equal consideration for
Democratic and Republican bills
with this regard.
Housing, Diet Situation Worse
Than in Former Years,

URBANA, Ill., Dec. 16.-The fac-
ulty committee on student affairs,
of the University of Illinois and
The Daily Illini, student publica-
tion, have opened investigation of
reported undesirable conditions ex-
isting among students regarding
both diet and housing.
Members of thie committee head-
ed by Prof. Edward Berman of the
department of economics reported
that during the present year their
attention has been called to the
conditions which are much worse
in some respects than those which
have been known to exist in years
past.
Questionnaires will be sent to all
students requesting information on
their incomes, living conditions,
financial status and prospects, em-
ployment situation, and immediate
needs. After analyzing these ques-
tionn yres, the need for a means of
remedying. any pool situation will
be determined.
The feasibility of a bureau on
student living standards will be ex-
amined, and if found necessary,
steps will be taken to establish one.
The student loan fund will also be
probed with a view to determining
where to get more capital on which
to operate.

He expressed the belief that "no
effective plan of disarmament can
be rhade unless Russia is taken into
the family of nations," and said
that, had he been a delegate to the
Geneva Disarmament Conference
in 1927, he would have accepted
Russia's offer wholly to disarm her-
self at its full value.
He predicted that any effort on
the part of the United States to
purchase world peace by cancella-
tion of World War debts with the
promise that the nations of Europe
abolish their armies and navies
would result in failure.,
He said that "Europe today is a
military camp, an arsenal of guns
and munitions," Mr. McAdoo re-
marked that it "is a singular fact
that amid all the world-wide talk
of disarmament", only one great
nation has made an official pro-
posal for complete and universal}
disarmament on ]and and sea and
in the air."
