The government can and will help, but the people must do the jobs.” Vinson was sworn in by Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner of the U. S. district court of appeals in the presence of several hundred persons on the house ways and means committee room. Speaker Sam Rayburn, president, praised Vinson’s “long and distinguished career” in public life. The new secretary praised his predecessor. He told Morgenthau that his work as chairman of the’ Bretton Woods international monetary conference was “the most monumental work of your life.” Morgenthau in a brief speech said “If I had had to pick someone as my successor I would have picked Fred Vinson.” < Trade in a Go rd Town — Decatur

Thiee East States Damaged By Floods No Early Relief Is Predicted From Heat By United Press Floods in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey claimed at least two lives within the past 48 hours and caused millions of dollars of property damage. Livestock were drowned, highways, bridges and homes were washed out, and many communities were isolated. Several persons also were reported missing. Several main highways were closed between Albany, N. Y., and Pittsfield, Mass., hardest-hit areas of the flash floods. Damage was estimated unofficially in a wide Albany area at $2,000,000. Heat To Continue The heat wave which gripped the midwest yesterday will continue at least until late Tuesday with a temperature high of 90 degrees or more, according to the U. S. weather bureau. Scattered thundershowers in northwestern Illinois promise only slight relief to sweltering citizens. 'Springfield, 111., with a forcast high of 98, for today had reached 97 by noon. A temperature of 99 was predicted for tomorrow. A 98 degree high in East St. Louis, 111., hanging on from yesterday, will continue through tomorrow with no change. Quincy, ill., will also stick to the 98 top until late Tuesday. Hottest spot in the midwest yesterday was Des Moines, la., with 101 recorded. Carbondale, 111., with no relief promised from yesterday's 96, led Peoria, 111., where an even 95 was expected to continue Indianapolis with a steady 94 ranked about the same as the rest of Indiana, where the mercury is expected to stick between a low of 90 and a 100 degree high. Only noticeable jump since yesterday occurred in Chicago, where yesterday’s 91 climbed to 95 early i« the afternoon. -— ————o

Japanese Battleship Battered By Planes Believe Ship Sunk Or Badly Damaged Aboard Admiral McCanUs flagship off Tokyo, July 18—(Delayed) (UP)-—Two hundred dive bombers from task force 38 today battered the 34,000-ton Japanese battleship Nagato with 1,000-pound bombs as one of the last Nipponese capital shipfi lay helplessly tied up to a pier at the Yokoshuko . naval, base in Tokyo harbor. Screaming down from 15,0(10 feet to release' their bombs 1,500 feet above the Nagato, the bombers damaged two turrets and the ship’s hull on the port side, returning pilots reported. It was believed possible the Nagato had been sunk. Navy airmen taking part in the surprise attack said they believed the Nagato, thought to be one of Japan's last two battleships, either sank or was heavily damaged. Prelimianry reports made it difficult. to determine whether the battleship settled in shallow water after the terrific attack. But it was definitely known that the enemy will be deprived of the ship's use for a long time to come. The 200 carrier planes assaulted the huge battle ship as 1,500' British and American planes swarmed over the strongly defended Tokyo bay region to knock out anti-air-craft guns and clear the air of enemy opposition. At least 50 per cent of their high explosives landed in the target area, pilots said. If it should be determined that the Nagato was sunk it would be the first time in history that a battleship had been sunk with aerial bombs alone. The Japs last battleship is believed to be the Huruna, frequently reported sunk but apparently still in commission. The carrier bombers assigned to the Nagato, modernized in 1935-6, encountered raging ack ack opposition directly over the target. As the planes flew in over the once mighty Yokosuka base, they saw the .ship "sticking out like a sore thumb and it was easy to pick out,” one pilot said. The ship was in such a position torpedoes could not be used. Bombs were the only means of attacking it. In getting down to a position to release their bombs the fliers had to dive through what they described as the heaviest anti-aircraft fire of the Pacific war. “I’ll never talk about the old days after this,” one* veteran said. “This topped them all.” Some Os the returning planes had as many as 100 bullet holes through wings and fuselage.

WliilJi Bfjwl Routs the Japs After being denied their objective east of Manila for 36 hours by still' Jap resistance, Pfc. Robert H. Meyers of Decatur, with comrades of a 38th division rifle company, staged a pre-dawn surprise attack, which completely routed the enemy with heavy casualties. In the pitch blackness before dawn, tile tanks, crossing from a nearby hill on a narrow ledge of rock, reached a point above the Jap position. The slightest noise in crossing would have meant sudden death from Jap guns zeroed in on the ledge. The 151st infantrymen turned Jap guns and ammunition from a captured dump on their former owners. Besides killing 59 Japs, the rifle company captured much enemy equipment. Pfc. Meyers is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Meyers, who reside at 616 W. Marshall street. 0 SENATE DEBATE (Continued From Page One) opposition for reservations. Leaders anticipated that most of the time would be devoted to a series of speeches endorsing the objectives of the proposed United Nations organization. Connally avoided controversial questions in his opening remarks. He chose, instead, to let them arise as they may through questioning later. He was prepared to answer, if necessary, any complaints about so-called secret agreements in the big three conference at Yalta. This would include week-end reports that there was a secret agreement on Allied reparations to be exacted from Germany. Anticipating .questions about the legality of placing U.S. troops at the disposal of the United Nations council for prompt action in the event of threatened aggression, Connally said: “Anyone who is looking for a peace organization that doesn't cost anything; that doesn’t involve sending troops when necessary; that doesn’t involve obligations —a sort of self-operating eight-day clock—won’t find it. There just isn’t any such organization." The final vote wps expected to show live or fewer senators against the charter. Senate Democratic leader Alben W. Barkley said there might be no more than one or fWp votes in opposition. Onp of the opponents was- expected to be Sen. Hiram W. Johnson, IL, Calif., a leader in the fight against the league of nations 25 years ago. He voted against the charter in the senate foreign relations committee. Sen. Henrik Shipstead, R., Minn, the only member of the committee who did not take part in its 21-1 endorsement of the charter, has not announced definitely how he will vote on ratification. Neither have Sens. Burton K. Wheeler, D„ Mont., and William Langer, R., N. I)., but that is not saying they will oppose it.

Two other senators who had been listed as doubtful — Sens. Kenneth S. Wherry, R., Neb., and Pat McCarran, 1)., Nev. —now expect to vote for ratification. — —o Assures Britain To Continue Jap Fight Lord Beaverbrook Pledges Full Aid Miami, Fla., July 23. —(UP)— Lord Beaverbrook, British Lord Prtvy Seal, today assured the United States that Great Britain will fight to the limit with the Americans against Japan. In reply to an open letter from Publisher John. Knight of the Miami Herald, expressing growing American sentiment against British efforts in the Far East, Beaverbrook wrote that “we have no intention of reversing the defeat of Japan to the Americans.” Beaverbrook pointed out the part taken by British warships in the naval bombardment of Japan and asserted that the main fighting strength of the British navy now is in The Pacific. “It is, of course, true that up to the victory in Europe, Britain fought the Far Eastern war with marginal military resources. This was in accordance with the agreed over-all strategy," he wrote. Beaverbrook expressed the opinion that a change in government would witness no slacking of the British war effort against the Japanese. "... It would be a com-

plete eiroi to suppose that there will be any ease oil in the British war against Japan if this conseivative government is succeeded by a socialist government,” he said. Violent Death Toll Is Ten In Indiana Two Drownings In Pit Near Anderson (By United Press) Ten Hoosiers died violent deaths during the weekend. Two traffic fatalities, two drowninge, a suicide and an alleged homicide were reported by police. At Anderson, Earl Polk, 26, and Helen Reed, 30, both employes of i the Guide Lamp Co., drowned in a | gravel pit near the city. Two! other occupants of the flat-bottom- i ed row boat that upset shortly after midnight Saturday reached shore. Robert E. Cunningham, 21, Mishawaka, was struck by a passing car as he changed a tire on his auto on U. S. 31 north of South Bend. He died in St. Joseph hos-1 pital Sunday morning. Six other' persons were injured in the accident. Fifteen-year-old Leon Ingle of Doolittle Mill died yesterday from injuries received when he fell from his bicycle. Ingle attempted to avoid striking a pedestrian and was thrown from the wheel. Police said an Indianapolis youth, Julius Strong, 21, hung himself in a cell at the city jail late Saturday. They said Strong came to the jail stating he did not know his name or address. He was held pending investigation and a matron found his body a short time later. At South Bend, Corinne Bonner, 48, negro, died in Memorial hospital there from injuries received in a fight Saturday night. Police were holding a man for questioning today.
