BALKANS ASTIR WITH JITTERS

Estimated 30 Divisions Of Italians Now In Balkans

Cairo, Sept. 10—The surrender of Italy was expected today to show the greatest effects on the Balkans and military sources believed it may mean the difference between a conquest of the entire peninsula by force or merely a thrust across Greece. The eventual occupation of Italy by the Allies will endanger the German Balkan flank and may force the Nazis to withdraw entirely from the Aegean Islands and the Greek mainland, a situation which was believed here as the reason why no Allied offensive has been launched in that area. The attitude of Turkey also was awaited with growing interest, inasmuch as Turkey’s stand frequently has been regarded as contingent on the collapse of Italy. The danger of the German positions in the lower part of the peninsula was emphasized by the order of Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, Allied commander in chief in the middle east, to the Italians in the' Balkans to cease obeying the German orders. He ordered the Italian forces in the Dodecanese Islands, stepping stones to Greece and Crete in the Aegeamsea, to “take over by force all .points now in possession of the Getmans.” ^VTlsons’ special order of the day, which was broadcast repeatedly in Italian, also gave detailed orders for all units of the Italian navy, merchant marine and air force to proceed to designated Allied points along the Mediterranean. It was estimated that there were approximately 30 divisions of Italian troops in the Balkans which the Germans would be required to replace as a result of the surrender and thus place a heavy strain on the Nazi military machine already taxed by the heavy Russian offensive.

Six State Colleges To Play Football Indianapolis, Sept. 10 — Butler university apparently has become another victim of wartime inability to field a football team, indicated by today’s comment by Dr. M. O. Ross, the school’s president, that it did not have enough civilian athletes. Ross said that an official announcement on Butler’s football plans had been withheld because of the possibility that army authorities might permit its trainees to participate, and he said unless permission were granted Butler would not have a team. Butler has scheduled no games. Varsity teams at only six Indiana colleges will play football this fall—Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, Indiana State, De Pauw and Wabash. The latter three colleges were the only survivors in football out of the 14-team Indiana intercollegiate confei’ence. The season’s first game will be Sept. $ when Purdue meets the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Chicago, Indiana State plays Illinois Wesleyan at Terre Haute and Indiana University clashes with Miami at Bloomington. Notre Dame, DePauw and Wabash play their openers the next week-end. o SEMI SURPRISE BLACKOUT FOR 9 INDIANA COUNTIES

TO ADMINISTER RELIEF TO ITALY

Millions Will Be Spent To Rehabilitate War Torn People Washington, Sept. 10.—The United States is preparing to spend j hundreds of millions of dollars for the relief and rehabilitation of warravaged Italy and her 45,000,000 war-sick inhabitants. President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill were reliably reported to have discussed those plans at conferences this week. The military and civilian machinery already has been set up for that purpose and-a civilian mission, to be headed by C. B. Baldwin as director of economic operations for Italy, will leave for Italy within a few weeks. Immediate emphasis will be placed on feeding the hungry, clothing the ragged, and administering to the ill. Later, when military stabilization has been achieved, emphasis will be on rehabilitation to the end that Italian farms and factories may be restored to productivity and the country returned to participation in world trade. Task Is Huge The task is a tremendous one. Distribution problems alone will be difficult. But the United Nations are pledged to undertake it. Presiu e n t Roosevelt repeatedly has promised food, medicine, other necessary supplies, and technical assistance to areas liberated from the Germans. In North Africa and Sicily, these promises already are being fulfilled on a large scale. The most recent lend-lease report disclosed that in the first half of this year the United States sent $88,7020,000 worth of industrial supplies and $23,666,000 worth of food to North Africa and Sicily. The military, for the time being will administer all relief in Italy through the Allied military govern ment. Several army officials have been reported in southern Italy al ready. That the military intends to get relief operations under way immediately was made clear in Admiral Andrew Browne Cunningham’s broadcast yesterday to the Italian navy and merchant marine. “Your ships,” he said, “are urgently needed to* assist in the work of carrying supplies to Italy.” When military conditions permit, civilian agencies will move in. The office of foreign relief and rehabilitation headed by former Gov. Herbext H. Lehman of New York will be the operational agency in the field. The dii'ectional authoxity, however, will be Baldwin who

Where’s the evidence? Because Sam knows, like the rest of us, that nine-tenths of the “inside news” passed around by careless folk isn’t rumor—it’s lies planted by the Axis to destroy American morale.

Loganspoxt, Ixid., Sept. 10—Clai’ence A. Jackson, state civilian defense directox 1 , said today that a semi-sux’prise blackout for nine counties in northwestern Indiana would be planned at a meeting of civilian defense officials at Lafayette Thursday. Comities to be ixicluded were Cass, Cai’roll, Benton, Fountain, Montgomery, Newton, Tippecanoe, Warren and White. Local officials were informed of the week during which the blackout will be held, but not the day or time, Jackson said.

Teckemeyer, chairman of the legislative comxxxittee investigating public welfare adixiinistration in Indiana, Moxxday issued a statement commending the Marion county welfare board for its attitude in pieparing to select a county welfare director and said this attitude “probably will be emulated by other boards throughout the state.” Mi'. Teckemeyer said he was not speaking for the investigating committee, but made his statement on the basis of some knowledge of welfare problems in Indiana. “It seems to me,” he said, “that the forthright, courageous stand taken by the newly appointed Marion county board in demanding that the examination for director be designed to produce a person of administrative ability is one that could and probably will be emulated by other boards throughout the state.” Asks New Tests The Marion county board recently received a list of eligible persons from the state personnel division after a competitive examination. Apparently dissatisfied with the group, the county board asked that the list be reopened and another examination held. “Many of the most pressing problems confronting the vaidous coun-

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES “Substance” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Chi’ist, Scientist, on Sunday, September 12. The Golden Text is: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof” (I Corinthians 10:26). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from -the Bible: “And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father gi’eat mercy, according as he walked before thee, in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; Give therefore thy servant an understanding heai’t to judge thy people. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have givext thee a wise and an understanding heart” (I Kings 3:6, 9. 11,12). The Lesson-Stermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook,“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Business men and cultured scholars have found that Christian Science enhances their endurance and mental powei’S, enlarges their perception of character, gives them acuteness and comprehensiveness and an ability to exceed their ordinary capacity. The human mind, imbued with this spiritual understanding, becomes more elastic, is capable of greater endurance, escapes somewhat from itself, •and requires less repose” (n. 12§).

ty departments,” Mr. Teckemeyei said, “aiise from lack of strong, well-informed, businesslike leadership. Unfortunately, the type of examination given is such that, as the local board has said, applicants with admirable qualifications along the lines of business administra tion axe at a decided disadvantage in attempting to answer questions dealing lai’gely with technical knowledge of social welfare the ories and terminology. A x-evamp-ing of the method of selecting directors piobably will be recommended by our commission.” —— o By the end of 1943, production of fighting equipment in the United States will be ten times that of Japan.
