don’t let them shoot firecrackers any more.”
“Mrs. Ockerhausen, the wounded boy’s mother, said she had told her son that he could “stay downtown last night for awhile and shoot crackers.” “I didn’t think anything serious like that would happen.” Meanwhile Police Captain Roy Pope described the practice of throwing lighted crackers in moving cars as “the worst thing we have to contend with.”
Promises Prosecutions
“It’s double-barrelled,” he said. “The cracker may burn the driver, as it has in two instances this year, and the driver very likely will lose control of his car with the possibility of a traffic accident.
“We will prosecute those engaged :
in such a practice and I urge all motorists to whom it happens to report immediately to police.” Sheriff Feeney also warned that deputies will watch for such violations and make prompt arrests. “When anybody gets that raw,” he said, “we don't believe in allowing them to continue.” Three-year-old Gary Murphy, 523 Bell St., was burned on the chin and forehead in such an accident and Audley Dunham, 55, of 601 N. Illinois St., was burned on the side of

Other Victims Listed
Others injured so far in fireworks accidents were John Sweeney, 3, of | 545 Arbor Ave. whose fingers were | burned when a cracker exploded as he held it; Walter Upton, 13, of 523 | Pine St.,, by a “cracker” exploding in his hand; Charles Panner, 12, of 1752 Exeter St., thumb and two fin-! gers burned; Lee A.

Sharon Ave. burned on the right] hand by a firecracker, and a City Hospital employee. | Out in the state, two youths were reported in crucial condition in hospitals. They were T7-year-old Towes Campbell, Lynnville, and Eugene Kuta, 7, La Porte.
Hurt in Tank Blast
The @ampbell boy was injured when sparks from a firecracker fell into an abandoned gasoline tank which exploded and injured him. | The Kuta boy dashed into the path of a car after he put a firecracker under a tin can. Wayne Clingenpeel, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Clingenpeel, placed a lighted cracker in a bottle at his Logansport home. The explosion broke the bottle and a piece of the glass lodged in his eye. A firecracker gxploded in the hand of 8-year-old John Holloway at La Porte and cut his thumb and finger. A cracker exploded in a tin can and sent the lid spinning at 88-year-old Fred Mileski, Elkhart. The lid severed an artery in the temple. Farm Home Burned

ENVOYS IN CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, July 4 (U. P.).— District of Columbia auto users today had a new reason—worth 2 cents for each gallon of gasoline used—for wishing they belonged to
the capital's foreign diplomatic corps. Members of the corps, Deputy Tax Assessor C. A. Russell revealed, no longer will be called upon to pay the 2-cent per gallon gasoline tax usually collected in the District, provided the nation they represent grants similar courtesies to diplomatic representatives of the United States. Books of exemption tickets will be issued by the State Department to Embassy and legation officials, and gas stations will accept the tickets in lieu of the regular tax.

the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia an inventory of defenses and strategy in possible campaigns. Another speaker, Dr. Brooks Emeny, author, said that only the United States and Soviet Russia would be economically self-sufficient in wartime. And a Canadian professor, V. F. coe, of the University of Toronto, said that Canada has decided to throw her economic and military lot with the United States.
Cites Enemy Bases Gen. Strong, a member of the
| War Plans Division where United States military strategy is formed,
said that expeditionary forces would be required should a European enemy establish a base in Newin Natal, Brazil, or in Bermuda and the Bahamas. He said [that counter measures to establish‘ment of such hostile bases would consist of bombing and naval operations, but added: “Such menaces could only be finallv and definitely removed by joint rn and Navy action involving an | expeditionary force on the part of the Army.” | He named, in addition to these | possible bases, Haiti, Santo Domin|go and the Lasser Antilles as points that must be guarded against enemy
ead seizure,
Points to Natal Area
“The Natal area of Brazil presents an excellent opportunity for a base for a European power seeking to impress its will upon one or more Latin American states or seriously to challenge our operation of the Panama Canal,” Gen. Strong said. “Counter measures in this case would involve a major joint overseas expedition on the part of the Army and the Navy.” He said that the Panama Canal was impregnable to even a greater than normal attack but was vulnerable to bombing raids and sabotage. Hawaii, the West Ccast, Alaska all are very well defended by the fieet, but Guam and the Philippines are weak.
