Hitler went to Huterbog, 40 ! miles south of Berlin, the semiofficial news agency DNB announced. He watched troops open exerI rises there. On the surface life was normal. J But to all purposes, the largest and most intensive war maneuvers since the world war were under way. Iu all parts of the country army reserves left their jobs and homes for 30-odd training camps throughout the country. A war ministry spokesman exI plained to the United Pdess that series, at different dates iu differthe maneuvers would be held in , out parts of the country depending ou the completion of harvesting in ' eac v an a. “It is quite possible that some maneuvers actually will begin toaay fn central anu wevzsr* Germany ” he said, "but they will start later in east Prussia.. The maneuvers fn east Prussia will be held on a larger scale than in any : other part of the country this year.” This was particularly notable in connection with the assurances I that Germany's war maneuvers are of a normal kind, their size being I 'explained by the fact that Germany . has had compulsory service only since the fall of 1935, and needs to keep all her reserves in trim. East Prussia borders on Poland, Lithuania and Danzig Flee City. There was no public fanfare, no marching or trumpet blowing to mark the start of the war games. The general public was cognizant of the maneuvers only through the departure of relatives who are reservists, by the scarcity of citrus fruits on the market and by the fact that people had to wait a little longer this morning for buses to lake them to work, because many I buses were commandeered for the i maneuvers.

NEW APPLICANTS FOB PAYMENTS Hoosiers Made Eligible For Benefit Payments File Today Indianapolis, Aug. 15. — qj.R) — ' Hoosier residents eligible for un- . employment compensation benefits through removal of the $lO clause hy the recent special legislative session, may silo their applications I ' beginning today. I - Officials of tho unemployment I compensation division reported : that the 43 full time and 70 part I time local offices throughout the I state have been instructed as to | | the formula to be used in accepting the large number of applicaI tions expected to be presented. i It was estimated during the legis- . lative session that up to 50,000 Hoosiers would be eligible for i benefits if the $lO clause was rei moved. They were expected to re- “ ceive a maximum of $7,500,000 iu i I benefits. The legislature cleared the way ■ for payment of this amount by • eliminating a section of the statute 1 providing that all persons seeking \ benefits must have earned $lO ; since April 1. 1 Payments already made from the fund amount to $5,784,390, officials reported. A total of 508,692 checks have been mailed, averaging $11.37 • i per week to each applicant. The maximum payable is sls per week. The division said that 123,676 I persons have filed benefit claims I and 92,927 of these have drawn . i checks. About 20.000 of these have returned to work since being ’ thrown out of employment, it was r said. o HOLD VICTIMS’ .

For the first six weeks of the CIO organization drive for members, they expended money to start the movement until a member of the communist party was put on the payroll as a full fledged CIO organizer.” Ucello’s letter stated that at a tion” is officially deprecated as in--1 correct. However, the maneuvers will affect civilian life to greater extent than previous post war manI euvers. One of the objects seems to be to test how production and gen- , oral economic life may be carried ; on under war conditions.

LITTLE DAMAGE BY HURRICANE Hurricane On Southern Coast Does Less Damage Than Feared Lake Charles, La, Aug. 15 —(UP) —The U. S. weather bureau today warned costal city residents of Louisiana and Texas that rain squalls and high winds likely would follow the hurricaue which blew itself out in the Luke Charles area last night. The weather bureau said the wind and rain would be local and probably would not be serious, but fishing craft were instructed that to go to sea within the next few hours would be dangerous. The hurricane that swept toward the Louisiana and Texas coasts last night provoked the gravest warnings from the weather bureau, storm signals were posted from Bolivar Point, Tex., to Morgan City, La. Residents began a general exodus from their homes, seeking safety in storm cellars, civic buildings and at cities far inland from danger points. The hurricane did not reach the intensity expected when it hit the coast, it inflected mild damage in this area, breaking window panes, littering the streets with debris and overturning small fishing boats. Observers estimated velocity of the wind at 50 miles an hour. o Two Brothers Die In Auto Accident Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15 —(UP) Funeral arrangements were being made today for two brothers who were killed in an automoibile accident Saturday night here.
