The State Clemency Commission today denied the reqyest for commutation of a sentence which is to send James Reed Swain,

19, of EvansState Prison shortly after midnight

tonight for the holdup murder of Christ Brodenkamp, 70-year-old Evans-

ville Negro. The Commission’s action was considered the youth’s last hope for clemency because Governor Townsend had: said he would abide by its decision in the matter. The Governor is vacationing in northern Indiana. The Board’s decision came after a hearing on the . petition yesterday afternoon. “We didn’t learn anything new to make us put aside the: pi of the courts,” a statement by the Commission said. Swain was convicted in Vander-

tence was upheld by the State Su-

It was brought out in the trial that although both were armed, Swain fired the fatal shot.

ARMY MANEUVERS IN "EUROPE START

France and Italy Lead Off; “Others will Follow "This Month.

PARIS, Aug. 10 (U. P.).—Maneu-

| ver month, which once a year pro-

vides a reminder—it one were needed—that. armies are humanity's offering to the god of war, got into its stride today. : Soldiers of France and Italy started the first of a series of maneiivers which will extend to all countries during the month. In Germany, reservists were reported joining the colors for their annual series of “freshener” courses. What some people called the biggest concentration of French troops yet seen at one point opposite the Italian border began & sham battle, Maurice: Gamelin, commander-in-chief of the army. In Italy, 40,000 troops began ma-

‘I neuvers in the mountainous Abruzzi

region .east of Romie, down toward the “arikle” of the Italian boot. France’s maneuvers were designed frankly to test defenses against an army invading the country from Italy.

Not Centered at Frontiers

It was noticeable that, by coincidence or not, the Italian and German maneuvers were not centered at frontiers. In Italy the problem was to discover ways of improving the usefulness of infantry divisions. The

‘| Italian divisions had the use of mo-

torized equipment. Germany, apparently as a gesture to peace, is not holding the usual mass army maneuvers this year. It was reported that in Germany the maneuvers would be instead a series of war games in which troops now under training would engage along with reservists called up for periods of several weeks each.
