JUDGE CEASES TO SERVE DUE TOM BILL Question Over Act Separating Courts of Newton and Jasper Counties. KENTLAND LOSES OUT G. A. Williams Quits Bench in Belief He Lacks Jurisdiction. Bv Time Special • KENTLAND. Ind., Nov. 6.—Newton county is without a circuit court through refusal of Judge G. A. Williams to preside under the assumption that a bill passed by the 1929 legislature designed to separate the Jasper and Newton counties circuits is effective. The bill separating the courts of the two counties is similar to one recently held valid by the Indiana Supreme court affecting Delaware and Grant counties. In both instances. Governor Harry G. Leslie failed to affix his signature. Committee Seeks Solution Calling members of the Newton county bar before him, Judge Williams announced he would no longer handle cases as he was firmly convinced that the supreme court ruling made the separation measure effective and he is without jurisdiction in Newton county. A bar committee composed of M. E. Graves, H. L. Sammons, Delos Dean and Abraham Halleck has been appointed to study the situation. Both Judge Williams and Charles Halleck, prosecuting attorney, are residents of Jasper county. It's court at Rensselear is continuing to function with Judge Williams presiding. Two Officials Elected In the election this week both parties had candidates for judge and prosecutor, under the assumption that Newton county will have a court separate from that of Jasper county. When doubt arose as to the status of the separation bill. Judge Williams refused to hear any contested matters in Newton county, confining himself to mere formal actions, and now has ceased those, also. Returns on the judge and prosecutor offices were included in the election report., and in the ordinary course the next step would be Issuance of commissions to those chosen. In the event he refuses to so act. it is probable the matter will be taken to the Indiana supreme court. CROSS-COUNTRY RUN IS ADDED FEATURE Shortridge-Cathedral Game to Be Aided by Track Event.

This is the first of three stories describing the heroie deeds and the colorful life of Eddie Rickenbacker, America's greatest World war ace, who was decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Hooter at Washington today. He shot down twenty-six enemy aircraft in France. BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—“ The nearest Boche passed directly through my line of fire and just as I had ceased firing I had the infinite satisfaction of seeing him gush forth into flames. “Turning over and over as he fell, the photographing machine started blazing a path to earth just as the Fokker escort came tearing up to the rescue. I put on my gas and speeded for my own lines. In these words, Colonel Eddie Rickenbacker, who was America's ace of aces during the World war and who shot down twenty-six enemy aircraft, tells of the thrilling climax of the deed for which President Hoover personally decorates him here today with the nation’s highest award for valor. Twelve years after the armistice this war bird, who was to America what Baron von Richthofen was to Germany and Captain Nungesser was to France, today receives his belated award. With his own hands, President Hoover places around his neck the thin blue ribbon from which dangles the congressional medal of honor. It is the nation’s most coveted decoration, obtainable only by vote of congress and reserved for

the greatest of the nation's heroes.' What was this feat for which Rickenbacker now a New York business man and president of the Indianapolis Speedway, getting gray around the temples and a long way from the reckless, boyish figure of twelve years ago—so is honored? What did he do to cause authorization of the award last summer? a tt tt NOTHING much, to hear Rickenbacker tell it. Only a singlehanded attack on seven enemy planes in which he shot down two of them and scattered the rest. Only a, ten-minute engagement, the official records show, but those ten minutes saw what is now regarded as the greatest individual feat by any aviator in the World war. It was on the morning *of Sept. 25, 1919, so Rickenbacker has related in his book, “Fighting the Flying Circus.” He started for the front lines in his Spad. flown over Verdun and headed east toward Etain. He had received his, commission as captain of the Ninety-fourth squadron. United States air service, a few days before. He already had won his right to be called an ace by having shot down seven enemy planes—only five were required for that. Naturally he was feeling pretty good and aching for a fight. Suddenly, he picked up a pair of two-seater planes below him. German observation ships, snapping pictures over the allied lines. Flying above, and somewhat behind, were their escort, five fighting Fokkers. All still were a long way off. Climbing into the sun for all he was worth, Rickenbacker >oon was above and behind them—the ideal position for attack. Luckily, they hadn't seen him: the seven German ships were coming serenely on as if there were not an enemy in miles. # tt ' a THE new captain of the Ninetyfourth decided to attack. He nosed his Spad downward, gave her the gun and v/ent into a screaming dive toward the tail of one of the Fokkers. The German pilot saw his coming and tried to duck. But he was too late; Rickenbacker’s fingers already were on both triggers of his machine-gun and the German was directly in his line of fire. A stream of bullets like water from a garden hose tore through the German fuselage, killing him instantly. The plane swayed crazily, a dead man's hand on the stick, and then crashed to earth. Rickenbacker had intended to zoom violently upward to protect

himself against attack from the four remaining Fokkers. But the Germans were too rattled to attack immediately, so Rickenbacker suddenly switched his plans, plunging straight through their formation to attack the photographic planes ahead. “The two-seaters had seen my attack and were ready to put down their heads to escape,” Rickenbacker relates in his book. “I plunged along after them, getting the rear machine into my sights as I drew nearer to them. “A glance backward over my shoulder showed me that the four remaining Fokkers still were circling, trying to re-form their line. T had a few seconds yet before they could begin an attack.” tt it a THE two photographic machines began to draw apart. From their posts in the rear, both odservers were firing at the onrushing Rickenbacker with their machine guns. But their aim was bad. “Then,” Says Rickenbacker. “I drove more steeply, passed out of the gunner’s view under the nearest machine and shot up quickly at him from below. “But the victory was not an easy one. The pilot suddenly kicked his tail around, giving his machine gunner another good aim a,t me. “I had to postpone shooting until I had more time for my own aiming. And in the meantime, the second photographic ship had stolen behind me and I saw tracer bullets go whizzing and streaking past my face. “I zoomed up diagonally out of range, made a sudden change in my direction of flight and came directly back at my first target.” tt tt tt THAT was Rickenbacker’s crucial moment. Six of his seven foes still were in the sky. The two photographic planes were blazing away at him with their machineguns. above, the four remaining Fokkers were re-forming their flne to attack. Rickenbacker steered for another bold attack. “Watching my two adversaries closely,” he says, “I suddenly found an opening. They were dropping parallel to each other and not fifty yards apart. “Dropping down into a sideslip until I had one machine between me and the other. I straightened out smartly, leveled my Spad and began firing.” That was the end of the battle. The nearest German passed directly through Rickenbacker’s line of fire and, as Rickenbacker says, “Just as I ceased firing I had the

Rickenbacker, his throttle wide open and far in the lead, was streaking for home. Behind him were two enemy planes that never would fly again, three dead German aviators and five remaining ships that had not yet recovered from the shock of one daring Yank attacking their fleet of seven.

BLOOM REIGNS AS NEW ARMS PARLEYOPENS ‘World Control’ Commission Advocated by Britain at Geneva. STRIFE SEEMS CERTAIN Hope for Agreement Seen as Slight; Two Camps to Clash. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Nov. 6.—Establishment* of a permanent disarmament commission to act as a “world control’’ of armaments was proposed today by Great Britain as the League of Nations preparatory disarmament commission convened. The British project, submitted to be included in the draft treaty, provides for a permanent commission to sit at Geneva. The commission would be established after the various nations have signed a general disarmament, treaty and would function in a manner similar to the League’s permament mandates commission in checking actions of the mandatory powers. Dr. John Loudon, presiding at the opening session, stressed the contention that failure of the delegates to make progress would “shake public confidence and menace world peace.” The first session resulted in an unharmonious note, when M. Litvinoff, Soviet delegate, made a long speech in English. Loudon refused to permit the translation into French, as customary, because the Soviet officials treated on general disarmament subjects. Many correspondents abruptly left the meeting in protest against Loudon’s action. Litvinoff's lengthy speech was a vigorous exposition of the Soviet viewpoint that the world powers, by repeated delays, have indicated unwillingness to disarm. Job Looks Hopeless BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Scripps-Howard Foreitn Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.—The almost hopeless job of getting the world to disarm was begun again today at Geneva. Three things stand in the way. First, the universal obsession that another World war virtually is inevitable. Second, the conflict of hot-headed, nationalistic ambitions. Third, the apparent impossibility of limiting aircraft and gases, the war weapons of future. It took three months for America., Britain and Japan to reach a partial naval agreement at London early this year, despite the fact that in principle they were in agreement before the conference began. Conference Will Split At Geneva all the League of Nations power, plus the United States, will be sitting in, by proxy or otherwise, and every kind of war weapon, land, sea and air, will be up for discussion. Only a bom optimist can hope for any real understanding. From the start, Europe likely will line up in tw r o violently hostile camps. Germany will lead one group and France the other. With Germany will be Italy, Austria, Hungary and probably Russia. With France will be Poland, Jugoslavia, Rumania and Czechoslovakia. Facing a rising tide of nationalist anger at home over the ham-string-ing terms of the treaty of Versailles and reparations payments. Germany stubbornly will demand that France and her allies reduce their arma m r nts. without which Germany will disregard flic treaty and increase her own forces. France Is Alarmed Soviet Russia and Italy, though they have programs of their own, will side with Germany in her demands. Unless all signs fail,’ the conference beginning today will make history. Certainly these three powers now will take . stronger stand than they eter ,iave done before at such a gathering. That France and her allies will yield to such pressure is out of the question. France already was uneasy over what she believes to be a growing menace to the peace of Europe when German Fascists threatened to .seize power and scrap the entire Versailles treaty, and Dictator Mussolini, in Italy, rattled the saber and called on the country to be prepared for war. This hardly was a fitting prelude to the Geneva effort to prepare a general disarmament program. DRAMA GROUP PLANNED BY RECREATION CHIEF Civic Theater Staff to Aid in Presentations at Community Houses. Organization o*f a Community Recreation Drama Association was being planned today by David Kilgore. city recreation director. Kilgore has conferred with George Somnes, director of the Civic theater, who will act as adviser of the movement. Kilgore said members of the Civic theater staff will aid in presentations at municipal community houses. Community playwright and drama, contests are planned, Kilgore said.

Bv United Press ■’ARIS, Nov. 6.—The Republican guards were summoned today to quell disorders in the corridor of the chamber of deputies.
