Campaign Is to Be Different This Year
A mix of crime and campaign notes occupies the page. Bandits rob Diller Nebraska bank of 5000, with a car chase ending in a church capture of one fugitive, while the companion escapes after abducting two and seizing two cars. The captured Lowell Haenze, from Sleepy Eye Minnesota, claims escape from Fort Madison prison on June 22 with two others, Ivan Sullivan of Trenton Missouri and Forrest Estes of Mountain Home Arkansas. A suit case near the path reportedly holds much of the bank loot. In Washington, Willkie and Roosevelt clash over a “different” campaign, Roosevelt planning more time at home and press/ radio outreach, while Willkie stumps nationwide. Roosevelt asserts he must stay near government seats. Garner stays silent as third term criticisms persist.
