LEGION CHIEF URGES BOOM IN ARMY AVIATION Reduction Ideas Assailed by L. A. Johnson as Air Roundup Ends. Plea for expansion of military aviation, instead of further reductions, was sounded by Louis A. .Johnson, American Legion national commander, Sunday night at a dinner climaxing the national legion aerial membership roundup. Guests at the dinner included pilots and passengers of the more than fifty airplanes participating in the roundup at municipal airport before a crowd estimated at 30,000 Every branch of the military and naval establishments of the United States is in such a state of unpreparedness as to imperil national welfare, asserted Captain E. M. Chellew, state secretary of the Reserve Officers Association, today, commenting on the statements of the legion chief on inadequacy of their forces, in numbers of planes and pilots. Fourth in Defense Johnson cited figures to show the United States, although first in commercial aviation, stands fourth among the world powers in aviation for national defense, “although we have a longer coast line to protect than any nation in the world.” “Our regular army, national guard and organized reserves have only 1.814 airplanes, compared to 4,684 for France. 2,065 for Great Britain and 1,834 for Italy,” he said. While admitting that economies in government are necessary, he lminted out that continued sapping of national defense will leave the nation even less prepared to meet the next crisis than we were in the World war. Planes in Maneuvers More than a score of military planes performed at municipal airport, while planes from various states bringing membership cards were arriving. Four Irfdiana national guard planes collected cards from thirty Indiana cities during the day. James I. Haizlip, holder of the west-east coast speed record, and his wife, Mrs. Mae Haizlip, brought Roland Coeheram, Louisiana department adjutant, from St. Louis. Capt. Chellew', in his discussion today, said that it was the studied opinion of military and naval experts that the defensive arms of the country not only were far below' the limits fixed by international understanding, but w'ere inadequately trained and equipped. In such turbulent times as these, domestic and world-wide, it would be fatal to reduce the strength of these forces further, he asserted. Forces Weak, Scattered “The combatant arms of the United States army, for instance, are less than three times the strength of the New York City police force,” Chellew explained. “These skeleton forces are scattered throughout the country, provisional details keeping forts in condition or personnel assigned to instruction duty w ith the reserves, national guard and with educational institutions. ■Decrease the size of this force, and you imperil naitonal security. Where would the trained leaders come from if several thousand commissioned officers were dropped from the rolls and a war were to come? Would America again waste months in training men, only to find many times that this unpreparedness w'as to cost thousands of lives? “It is an old statement, but nevertheless a sound one, that a strong army and navy—a force strong enough to defend this country against any invader—is merely, the maintenance of adequate national insurance. “We certainly w'ould not abolish or vitiate the police department, the lire department, or any similar ngency. Then why cut our national defensive organiaztion to a further point of effectiveness? Cost Is la>w “It is not true, as opponents of national defense have charged so vociferously, that expenditures for national defense today take more than an equitable portion of national expenditures. Considering American population and American national wealth, our forces really are operating at a remarkably lowcost? The policy of economy had weakened the army and the navy to a point that it concerns military experts who are charged with defending this country from attack, Chellew r asserted. “Our army, including even the reserves. ranks below’ those of Italy, France, the Soviet. Japan. England and Germany, in soldiers per billion dollars of national wealth. In soldiers per thousand of population,, it falls behind those of France, Italy, Japan, the Soviet and England. excluding their dependencies and ours. In numerical strengthreserve and regular troops—it is far down the line. Deep Concern Caused “In other words, it already is so emasculated as to cause concern of the deepest sort. Further cuts would invite, perhaps, another world war. Our navy is similarly weak, and so are our air forces. With our present forces, we are inviting international catastrophe. With further cuts, we literally are saying Here is a wealthy, defenseless nation. No holds are barred.’ • Should congress, in a shortsighted desire for economy of the moment, cut appropriations of the army and the navy in such way as to affect the personnel strength or equipment of these branches, it would, in my opinion, be performing a distinctly unpatriotic and shortsighted act.” TWO GUNMEN GET LOOT Steal Rings From Motorist: Rob Drug Store of Cash and Pistols. Virgil Adams, 21, of 1541 Carrolton avenue, was robbed of rings valued at $75 Saturday night by two bandits ns he placed his car in his garage. The same two gunmen are believed to be the ones who later held up the Don Demaree drug store, j 1656 Roosevelt avenue, taking $l5O and two pistols. i

CANNON LINKS RUMTOMISERY Repeal Will Bring Poverty to U. S., Bishop Tells Drys. Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the Methodist Epicopal church, south, told 800 workers for the maintenance of prohibition in the Roberts Park M. E. church Sunday that poverty, misery and demoralization will follow repeal of the eighteenth amendment. “The politicians have no substitute for the saloon,” lie declared. "When the Democrats say their party platform insures ‘federal protection of cry slates and prevention of the saloon,’ they talk nonsense. This plank in their platform is a sop for suckers.” Bishop Cannon characterized A1 Smith as the “leading figure of the wet rebellion.” The Democratic convention in Chicago last summer was called “the most appalling display of hoodlumism in our history.” “Alcohol will do what it always has done,” said the bishop. “It will bring broken homes and hungry children, and the politicians know it.” Bishop Cannon will address a series of state dry meetings in preparation for the battle at the polls June 6.

GROSS INCOME AND SALES TAX LAWINEFFECT Every Man Throughout State Today Becomes Own Collector. Throughout Indiana today every man becomes his own state tax collector. For the new gross incoipe and sales tax becomes effective today, with first collections due in July. “The responsibility is directly upon the taxpayer,” Clarence A. Jackson, director of the income ana sales tax division, declared. “He must keep records which will reflect his grass receipts. He must obtain a blank on which to make his report. He must mail this blank and his payment to the department of treasury. Heavy penalties, including fines and imprisonment, are provided for violations.” Under the law. the McNutt administration expects to collect between $12,000,000 and $14,000,000 for state purposes. This, however, will include the new state tax of financing S6OO of all teacher salaries in all public schools. The tax levies a 1 per cent rate on gross receipts from retail sales and income. One-half of 1 per cent is levied on manufacturing, mining, agriculture,, wholesaling and jobbing. The gross sales and income tax law was passsed under orders from Governor Paul V. McNutt, despite opposition from chambers of commerce and business groups from throughout the state. The law’’s career was one of the most stormy of any piece of legislation which faced the 1933 legislative session. The taking over of school costs was used as a club for passage. It became a part of the administration tax program, based on broadening the tax base. An intangibles tax also w'as passed.
