By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor

The triumphant march of Spanish insurgents through.

the hills of Catalonia shook all Europe today as the great powers faced a showdown on power in the Mediterranean.

Fall of Barcelona to the armies of Generalissmo Franco|. —a spectacular and possibly decisive military triumph in| the civil war—was only the starting signal for which the

big nations had been waiting.

It threw open a vast horizon of diplomatic struggle between the opposing blocs of democracy and totalitarianism. : %

Intensity and importance of that

contest for dominance in the new

Europe may be indicated swiftly by |

two events: 1. Great Britain's campaign forestall a new “crisis” as a result of the demands of Italy for greater influence at expense of France in the Mediterranean. Prime Minister Chamberlain in a speech tomorrow is expected to tell the world how Britain has bolstered her armed strength as a means of maintaining the balance of power and how far she will go to warn against any act that might touch off a conflagration. 1 2. The support Germany will give her totalitarian partner, Italy, in . seeking the Fascists’ “natural aspirations” in the Mediterranean and the extent of the new Nazi demands in Eastern Europe. The answer fo these questions is expected in Fuehrer Hitler's speech to the Reichstag next Monday on the sixth anniversary of his rise to power.

: ‘Berlin Again Holds Key

Thus again, in the contest for dominance, the final answer shifts back to Berlin where Herr Hitler has maintained official silence in regard .to Premier Mussolini's bid to reap his share of the totalitarian profits at the expense of France and Britain in the Mediterranean. This time there is another factor . that must weigh heavily. Britain has given every indication of having reached or at least neared the end of concessions under Mr. Chamberlain’s appeasement program. At his recent Rome conferences with Premier Mussolini, the British Prime Minister—spurred by the demands of France and a large element in his own country—stood his ground and the talks ended in a stalemate. Last night, Sir Samuel Hoare, British Home Secretary, echoed a recent statement by the Prime Minister when he publicly warned Europe's totalitarian powers that the British Empire was invincible— that the British “will to resist” could not be overcome.

Chamberlain Speech Wanted

In addition the Cabinet was understood to be considering a broad diplomatic move intended to ward off the crisis which many have feared was developing and that plan may result in strong declarations— such as military support for France in event of any attack—in Mr. Chamberlain’s speech on Saturday. The Chamberlain address will be intended partly to warn Herr Hitler "against any sweeping declarations when the Nazi Fuehrer faces the Reichstag on Monday and will swing the European struggle again toward a face-to-face issue between Germany and Great Britain, with France and Italy in anxious seats on the sidelines. The Paris and Rome Governments already have made their positions clear. Sig. Mussolini tended toward confirmation of reports that he would make formal demands on France as soon as the Spanish Rebels were assured of ultimate victory when he declared in a brief Speech yesterday that Barcelona was

FOR CALLS FOR PLANE FUNDS

Program.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt today asked Congress for a 50 million dollar emergency appropriation for purchase of 565 new combat planes for the Army. The fund-would be used to make an immediate start on the 552 mil-

lion dollar defense expansion program that Mr. Roosevelt previously had outlined. He asked that the money be made available for immediate expenditure. : Mir. ‘Roosevelt's request that the first funds under the program be spent for airplanes was in line with Administration emphasis on speed in building up America’s air power. The requested 50 million dollars would be divided as follows: $46,442,829 for the Army Air Corps to buy combat planes and accessories; $1,490,071 for the Signal Corps 10 provide radio equipment for the planes and to pay additional members, and $2,067,100 for Ordnance Department purchases of airplane armament. The President made the request in a letter to Speaker William B. Bankhead. Bills authorizing the appropriations under the entire 552 miliiondollar program now are being speeded through the House Naval Affairs and Military Affairs committees. The 565 plane buying program would give the Army approximately 2800 planes. It represents the first sixth of the 3000-plane building program asked by the President and in which he proposed to spend a total of 300 million dollars. Hearings continued on both Army and Navy aspects of the defense

program.

DOORN, Netherlands, Jan. 27 (U. P.).—One subject is barred in

Castle Doorn House, where the white-haired old man who was Kaiser Wilhelm, celebrated his 80th birthday anniversary today with great simplicity. He is fit and well. Although fond of discussing politics, Wilhelm, or the “Squire of Doorn” as he is now known, avoids all reference to the man guiding Germany’s destinies—Adolf Hitler. Aware that his family is dependent on the goodwill of those in power under the Nazi regime and mindful of the estates he still owns in Germany, Wilhelm carefully refrains from talking about Hitler orhis government. = Hundreds of congratulatory telegrams, letters and bouquets arrived this ‘morning at the castle over which the black and white flag of the Hohenzollerns flies.

Egged On

Light Bulb Fascinates Hen and She Lays a ' Facsimile.

W J ASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U. P.).—The national capital, where royalty causes only a ripple of interest and great men may go unnoticed, was thrown into a dither today by an egg. Government publicity writers used superlatives usually reserved for the most important events to tell the world about a hen’s egg. Photographers-took pictures of it. Officials left stacks of unfinished business on their desks to confer on means of preserving it for" future generations. Taxidermists: were called into consultation and a suitable mounting was discussed. Rural Electrification Administration publicity officials, custodians of the egg, strutted with pride. ” % " ERE is the story the REA publicity writers told: Albert Clark, farmer living near Russellville, Ky., installed electric lighting equipment on his farm, including a light in his henhouse to fool the chickens into thinking it was daylight at 4 a. m. so they would lay more eggs. It worked with all but one Rhode Island Red hen. That bright little imitation of the sun fascinated her. : She sat for hours staring at the globe, refusing to leave the henhouse. Finally, one eventful day she laid an egg. Farmer Clark stared at it. He was amazed. It was shaped like a small light globe, large and round at one Gh and the other small enough to fi into an ordinary light socket. The small end has a circle of wrinkles resembling grooves for screwing the bulb into the socket.

TIME OF WNUTT'S RETURN IN DOUBT

Capital Reports Hint Stay in Manila Until Fall.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Althought he declared last week that he expected High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt back from the Philippines this spring, President Roosevelt today said he doesn't know now when he is coming home. When asked regarding a possible successor to Mr. McNutt, the President said “there is nothing on that and I don’t even know when he is coming home.” Reports are. current here today that the former. Hoosier Governor, whose candidacy for the Democratic Presidential nomination has been officially launched in Indiana, may remain at Manila until fall. - Since the President's message on U. S.-Philippines affairs already has been sent to Congress, it is consideredssinlikely that Mr. McNutt will take any part in drafting new legislation cancerning the Islands. When he does return, he may resign his post to enter the campaign, it is predicted.

Ten outstanding Indianapolis civic leaders are to be honored Feb. 3 as the first elected to the newly formed “Staff of Honor of Indianapolis.” C. D. Alexander, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce president, said the group was formed “to honor each year Indianapolis men who have reached the age of 75 and whose unselfish contributions to the welfare of the community are deemed worthy of recognition by the whole City.” Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations comprise the Honor Sommifice which makes the selecons.

Watch Out!

Brandt Takes His Out And Runs Into a Timely Mystery.

OUIS BRANDT, Works Board 4 president, glanced at the electric office wall clock today and said: “It’s getting late, gentlemen, we have an inspection to make at 11.” The clock said 10:50. The Board continued negotiations, talking about this and that. Mr. Brandt looked again at the clock, and then at his watch. - The clock still said 10:50 but the watch said 11:10. So did other members’ watches. The Board then inspected othe wall clocks at City Hall and found all on the first floor said 10:50. Nobody seemed to have noticed it before. . As nearly as Board members could figure it, a fuse, which will be replaced this afternoon, blew at 10:50, either a. m. or p. m., yesterday and stopped the clocks.

DANCES TO BENEFIT ~ PARALYSIS VICTIMS

Children Can’t Take Part; Excited, However.

Thirty children at Riley Hospital who couldn't dance even for the rapturous promises of a Pied Piper, today followed-all plans for a series of paralysis fund benefit balls in Indianapolis.

These excited children, clad in braces and gowns, are victims of infantile paralysis. For them, and for hundreds more who almost certainly will contract the disease, thousands of persons who fortunately have escaped it will dance Monday at nine parties in the City, and scores more in the State. Infantile paralysis can stab like a knife. There are cases on record where victims went to bed with no symptoms and awoke to find themselves paralyzed. : : If a shoulder or.one limb only is affected, Mrs. Winifred C. Kahmann, director of occupational and physical therapy at Riley Hospital, said the victim might recover in six months. Sometimes when the disease is more severe it; takes longer. It is so with the lad who, in 1936, shook hands with President Roosevelt when he visited the hospital. This lad, then 2, had had a severe (Continued on Page Three)

CITY ‘GAINS IN FIGHT ON S00T

Popp Estimates December Fall Was Lighter Than In November.

mre Snes .

The soot blanket that fell on Indianapolis last month again approached the 1000 tons mark, but it was 40.88 tons lighter than in November and 64.66 tons below the total for December, 1937. The total sootfall, as estimated by George R. Popp Jr. City building

commissioner, was 951.58 tons.

Mr. Popp attributed part of the decrease to inspections of large industrial and apartment heating plants last: year by the City Com-~ bustion Department, but added that some -consideration must be given to the relatively mild weather last

month. “1 ‘think this reduction indicates that our smoke abatement campaign is making headway,” he commented. : Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board president, who has begun a study of the soot problem, said that the figures for last month indicated “gp general improvement.” “Atmospheric conditions and temperature combined with the work of smoke inspectors. may be said to account for the improvement,” he said. “We certainly are glad to see it.” The Safety Board will call on various civic groups interested in smoke abatement in an effort to formulate its own smoke abatement policy for the next four years.

Lightest at 54th and College

The sootfall total for the City jumped from 604 tons in October to 892.46 in November, when heating apparatus in the City began to pour out smoke which hung like a pall on chilly mornings when there was no wind. Of 11 soot recording stations scattered throughout the City, the station at Massachusetts Ave. and Rural St. collected the heaviest fall, which was computed at 40.39 tons for the surrounding square mile during the month. College Ave. and 22d St. was second, with 19.45 tons. In the east downtown area, as measured by a soot station atop the City Hall roof, 13.64 tons of soot fell. The lightest fall of soot per square mile in the City was in the vicinity of 54th St. and College Ave., where the tonnage was estimated 10.19. The sootfall was divided over the City as follows: Tons of Carbon (Soot) Per 8

SALLEE SEEKS LAND USE FOR CHILD PLAY

Calls on City for 10 Acres On South Side.

A. C. Sallee, City parks superintendent, today asked the Works Board for the use of 10 acres of City-owned land immediately south of the Municipal Asphalt Plant for a éhildren’s playground. 2 C. Brandt, Works Board

president, said the Board would con-|

sider the request, but would not approve it definitely until the property was pected. . He said the Works Board had considered using part of the 10-acre tract for new garages for the Works Board trucks. Mr. Sallee’s request was made after

the Park Board yesterday selected{

this ground as the best site for a South Side playground, sought by 200 petitioners. He said the tract would be large enough to accommodate three softball diamonds, and

Resoluticns providing for the establishment of a - seven-member commission to study the various methods of obtaining the city manager form of government for Indiana cities were introduced today in the House and the Senate. The Senate resolution was adopted immed ately on a voice vote, but the House measure was referred to Judiciary “B” Committee. Backed by a number of civic organizations, including the Indianapolis anc. Indiana Junior Chambers of Commerce, the resolutions provide that the commission shall be appointe¢ before July 1, 1939, and shall prepare legislation to submit to the Governor for his approval by Oct. 1, 1940. . Members would serve without pay and would be appointed, two by the Indiana University president, two by the Purdue University president, one by the Speaker of the House, one by the president of the Senate and one by the Governor.

CLIMAXES FIGHT

Action on Teachers" Salary Funds Postponed.

The Democratic Senate majority this afternoon climaxed a fist-wave. ing floor fight over the Republican antinepotism bill by passing a reso: lution to require all Stafe and local officials to submit to the' Legislature names of their relatives on State payrolls. = The debate started over the in-

troduction of a G. O. P. resolution to require only State officials to submit such a list. This action followed yesterday's refusal of the Judiciary “C” Committee to report out the antinepotism bill. : Before introduction of the Democratic counter-resolution, a fiveminute recess was necessary to put an end to the bitter debate. Another heated debate arose when the Senate voted to postpone the bill to increase State appropriation for teachers’ salaries. Principal measure infroduced today was a Senate bill to remove from the hands of the Governor the appointive power over the State Board of Education. “Meanwhile, in both houses, resolutions were introduced which would set up & commission'to decide on the best method ;of enabling cities to choose the City Manager form of government and to prepare legisla. . tion for the 1941 Legislature.

Votes Out Two Vote Bills

The House Elections Committees, center of a bitter floor battle in the lower chainber-yesterday, voted to" report out two of the five -Repubs lican-indorsed election measures. Another controversial subject is scheduled for debate soon on the Senate floor when the Senate Labor Committee reports out without rece ommendations an amended Senate bill to increase benefits under the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Being. prepared for introduction are bills that would outlaw “bingo” and “keno” and give owners of single-family dwellings an exempse tion of $1000 on property tax ase sessments. When the antinepotism battle opened this morning, Senator E, Curtis White (D. Indianapolis), ma= jority floor leader, charged that the resolution introduced by Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton) to require department heads to submit names of relatives on State payrolls was “political skullduggery and- directed at the Governor.” : :

Old Appointment Cited

In 1937, Republicans charged, the antinepotism law was repealed by the Democrats to coincide with the appointment of Max Townsend, the Governor’s son, to the post of director of the Live Stock Licensing Fund in the Division of Agriculture, Senator Ferris stated when the resolution was introduced: “I am not trying to make a floor play of this serious matter. But due to the disposition shown by the majority yesterday after not even a respectgble hearing on the bill in committee, a violation of the spirit of the Senate, I think we ought to know what relatives of state offices holders are on the payrolls.” | Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indians apolis) jumped to the support of Senator White, declaring: “I am surprised at the restraint of Senator White. Why the audacity of the resolution! Nothing but poe litical chicanery!” ; Senator William Jenner (R. Shoals), minority floor leader. then leaped to his feet. :

Waves Fist at Democrats

Waving his fist in front of Demo= crat members, he shouted: “You are not satisfied with the schoolbook racket, 2 per cent club racket, blacktop racket; not satisfied® with destroying the penal institue tions; no, you had to repeal the Nepotism law of 1921. > “Ill tell you why you did it—be~ cause the Governor wasn’t satisfied with all the other rackets. You hat to try to repeal it in order to k him from being impeached. You go along, you say. .Why didn’t you in the beginning when the bill was drafted? Why didn’t the bill come out of committee the way it should have? . Sia “You are just trying to cover up. You could have amended in coms mittee instead of shouting today that it would be amended now include all offices of all cities in the State. It was a dirty trick yesters day.” ” Senator White arose and said his reason for moving to make : committee report after the s adjournment in March was in {Continued on Page Five)
