FLEETS ARE MOVED

Close Co-operation Maintained With Great Britain; Hope for Approval.

(Copyright. 1937, by United Press) PARIS, Jan. 9.—Garrisons in French Morocco were on a full war-time footing today and ordered to be on the alert as the Government, urgently anxious over alleged German penetration, talked of canceling German commercial rights in its zone. Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos re-

- turned to the foreign office from his

vacation.to consult political experts on the crisis. Premier Leon Blum

remained on the Riviera but main- |

tained contact over a direct special telephone with his office here. The Ministry of - Marine an- | nounced that the Mediterranean | fleet would conduct its winter maneuvers off the North African coast without leaving the Mediterranean. The Atlantic fleet, 38 ships, is to sail Jan. 15 for Casablanca, on the Atlantic coast of Africa, and Dakar, Senegal, farther down the coast. Edouard Daladier, Minister of National Defense, expects to go to Africa next week to inspect Moroccan garrisons. *

Reports Are Denied

Denying reports published abroad that the government contemplated military action in Morocco, the foreign office said that the question had not arisen. On the contrary, France maintained close co-opera-tion with Great Britain and expected to obtain British approval to any steps taken. It was pointed out that there are definite treaties governing Morocco and the foreign office said that it was up to the powers with. responsibilities there to permit no situation to arise that would render forceful action necessary. :

ver. , ° I believe my family holds the world’s record for makin’ bonehead remarks. It seems to run in the family. Last night, I ate supper at a friend’s house and his wife happened to say “I hope you won't have any trouble with the steak” and I answered “Oh, I won’t—we often have it this tough at home.” One time, down home, a man hung himself in his attic and my Aunt Dutty went over to console his widow. She thought she would git the widow’s mind off of her tragedy by talkin’ about the weather. : She said “I declare it’s terrible to wash clothes in this rainy . weather,” She said “Every time hang the clothes out to dry, iv starts rainin’ agin and I have to pring ‘em hack in.” Then she smiled sweetly at the r widow and said “Of course, the rain don’t bother you much on wash days—you have such a won-

Hit and Run

City Hospital Burglar Jumps Through House In Mad Flight.

A burglar was in a linen closet at City Hospital early today. Charles Young, watchman, found him and called Patrolman Robert Devault. They put him in an admitting room. The burglar said he was ill and officer Devault went to get a doctor. With the patrolman away? tne burglar started out a window. Young fired two shots and said the burglar fell but got up running. He ran into the surgery but didn’t claim he needed an operation. Another attache picked up the chase and the burglar left the building pretty well in front of them. He ran to the home of Lizzie Durham, at 1023 Coe St. He jumped through a front window of the house, kept on running, jumped through a rear window of the house, kept on running and that’s as far as the record goes.

DEATH DRIVER ISGIVEN 17010

James Nielsen, 21, Is Sentenced for Fatal Injuries to Mrs. Dona Hardin.

Hundreds of Indianapolis drivers are escaping prison terms only because fate has kept them from being caught, Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker declared yesterday when he sentenced a young driver to 1 to 10 years in the Reformatory. : James Nielson, 21, of 368 Beauty Ave., was given the sentence for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the traffic death of Mrs. Dona Hardin, 67, of 1348 S. Sheffield Ave., on Dec. 23. “The law. of average has singled this young man out to pay the penalty that many others should be paying,” the judge remarked. “There are hundreds of others just as guilty as this young man and the only reason they aren’t in court, too, is that they haven't had an accident.” + Accused of Intoxication

Nielson was accused of being drunk when his car skidded out of control in the 1300 block, S. Belmont Ave., and struck Mrs. Hardin, who was standing on a sidewalk. Traffic officers testified that Nielson appeared to be intoxicated when they investigated the accident. Frank Vancel, 2122 S. Pershing Ave., who was riding with Nielson, said-they purchased a quart of whisky, drank most of it and were “just riding around” when the accident occurred. Clyde C. Karrer, attorney for Nielson, asked for discharge of his client at the close of the state’s evidence but Judge Baker overruled the motion. No defense evidence was presented.

He suggested a 2-cent cigaret tax to replace funds used for increased educational-fund distributions. He estimated such a tax would raise $2,000,000. : ; The Highway Survey Commission in its report recommended that the weight tax on trucks, tractors, trailers, semi-trailers and busses be extended to private carriers. The extension would raise from $500,000 to $1,000,000, Earl Crawford, commission chairman, estimated. Rep. William E. Treadway (D.

F. of L., the Pattern Makers League, the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers International Union, the International Association of Machinists, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the building trades department ofthe A..F. of L. - The factory council in the Chevrolet forge plant here refused to indorse the United Automobile Workers’ strike and sent a telegram to President Roosevelt, asking him to intervene.

Two Indiana youths who met over a bottle of gin and planned a robbery between drinks, were in jail today charged with the murder of William H. Bright, Indianapolis druggist. + The prisoners were Vurtis Neal, 21-year-old hawk-nosed Madison ‘ex-convict, and Hugh Marshall, 19-year-old Indianapolis jack-of-all-trades.

Marshall said that when they reached the cornfield they ordered Mr. Bright from the car and that while Neal held the gun and guarded the pharmacist, he, Marshall, fumbled in the car for a piece of rope with which to truss him up. But, Marshall said, Neal got impatient with the delay 'in finding the rope and shot the victim four times. “I didn’t think he should have done it,” the slim, phlegmatic Marshall said last night as he sat in Capt. Matt Leach’s office awaiting the arrival of Neal from a Kentucky town in which he was captured. And when Neal got there he said of the shooting: . “I killed him: I don’t know why.” Both of the youths said that robbery was the sole motive; that they (Turn to Page Three)
