Chicago reports a showdown between National Fraternal Congress and old line insurers with over four billion dollars in force. Thomas H.

Deputy Sheriff probes a separate late night trolley holdup near Southington, where two masked men raided a Connecticut company car, taking cash and a watch before fleeing into the woods.
