Nez Lightning Sea War Visioned When U.S. Vessels Leave
New Law Makes Possible Raids Without Risking Trouble in U. S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P)— Aviation authorities today predicted a German blitzkrieg at sea in an effort to break Great Britain with an aerial blockade as soon as Amer- . ican flagships leave those waters in conformity with the new neutrality act. They interpreted the act as potentially favorable to to
Germany the extent that it would forbid}
American vessels:to enter war zones and thereby enable ‘German blockade fliers to bomb at will without risking trouble with this country. That, however, is aviation’s version of what comes next in Europe’s war. Naval opinion holds fast to conviction that planes are no match for surface fleets and would not be able to establish an effective blockade.
Soon to Clear War Zones
Elsewhere it is suggested here that all concerned in Europe may have withheld spectacular air bombardment of their enemies pending Congress’ decision on neutrality. General bombardment and chance Kkilling of civilians on either. side probably would have influenced Congressional Opinion against the aggressor nation. Proscribed war zones probably will be cleared of American vessels within the next 10 days: The belief of flying men is that the war will begin in earnest then. Some airmen here forecast first an attack in numbers—hundreds of airplanes—upon the British fleet to be followed by systematic bombing of all merchant vessels approaching her shores.
Huge Arms Orders Expected
There was speculajion today whether the warring European powers would move their activities closer to the Western Hemisphere now that the arms embargo has been repealed. Great Britain and France, expected to place huge munitions orders in this country, will be faced with the problem of safely convoying them across the Atlantic, Naval experts said they expected belligerent activities to spread toward this side of the Atlantic. This might come within the so-called “300-mile safety belt” around ‘the Western Hemisphere, which 21 American republics proclaimed at Panama.

has advised airplane manufacturers that the Department looked with great disfavor on shipments of airplanes and airplane equipment to nations which bomb civilians. Mr. Hull told press conference questioners today that he firmly believed the United States would avoid war and that the new act “will greatly assist in this undertaking.” That, he said, is our first and most sacred task. Mr. Roosevelt in gay spirits sent hisegood wishes to Congress and a suggestion that Legislators would be warranted this year in celebrating two Thanksgiving days—in states whose Governors rejected the Nov. 23 date.
Nazi Protest Possible
Some here believed Germany may protest the new legislation. Bitter press and semi-official criticism of this country’s action was thought likely to be the forerunner of a formal Nazi complaint. The State Department already has given consideration to the answer it will make. That answer, it was believed, will declare that neutrality legislation is a domestic matter, that the United Sates is merely reverting to international law and impartial neutality, that Germany is free to purchase supplies here, and that, hence, the protest is not well taken. Democratic majorities chipped a bit but did not crack while the Administration gained substantial Republican support in both House and Senate. The general neutrality program was adopted in a cross-fire of discussion which variously contended: 1. It returns the nation to its historic conception of neutrality. 2. It is a step toward war. 3. It is not a step toward war but is a move short of war to aid the French and British Allies against Germany. 4. It amends a neutrality act which, actually, was un-neutral.
iU. S. Shipping 1 to France And Britain Is Halted
NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (U, P.)— United States shipping to Great Britain and France halted abruptly today in accordance with the revised neutrality act. The United States Lines, biggest American shipper to the Allied countries, canceled the sailings of three loaded ships—the President Roosevelt, Washington and American Farmer—which were to have sailed yesterday, and prepared to withdraw,its other eight ships now

Repeal of Arms Embargo Crux of Neutrality Bill
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.) — Crux of .the 1939 neutrality act which President Roosevelt signed today is repeal of the mandatory embargo on sale of arms, ammunition and implements of war. The new law permits all nations to purchase anything here if they can pay cash and transport the goods in other than American vessels. Other major provisions of the bill are: 1. American’ merchantmen may not be armed. 2. American nationals may not travel on the ships of belligerent nations. 3. President Roosevelt is empowered to designate “combat zones” into which United States ships may not enter. 4. Exempted areas, which may be entered by Amerjcan ships ie - they do not carry arms, munitions,
ports in the Indian or Pacific Oceans and the dependent waters, Tasman Bay, the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Shipping prohibitions do not apply to South American countries. 5. Belligerent nations and {ts citizens may not acquire credits in the United States for the purchase of war materials.
6. Violation of the prohibition against trade with belligerents is made punishable by a fine of $50,000, five years’ imprisonment, or both. 7. The life of the Munitions Control Board is extended. 8. Ships under control of the American Red Cross ale exempt from the ban on travel into combat areas. 9. Ships which operate under the jurisdiction of foreign states may not fly the American flag. Violators will be denied the privilege of

champion, but a Minnesota representative, Richard Huth of Granite lls, who defied the doctor when he entered the field, came in second with 27.03 bushels. Mr. Huth, a truck driver most of the year, was runneruyp to Art Johnson of Bingham Lake in his state contest. Mr. Johnson didn’t compete becaflse of an infected hand. ’
First Hoosier to Win Mr. Huth, ill with a sore throat and a bad cold, went into the field although a doctor told him he was risking a serious illness. Before the contest was over he had peeled off his shirt because of the heat, and he turned in the day’s cleanest exhibition, for he lost only 52% pounds in penalties from his total load of 1945 pounds. Mr. Pitzer, a 40-year-old veteran of the corn rows, is the first Hoosier to win the title. He had been in four national “contests previously, but after he pla. d only third in 1935, although his load broke the old record, he decided to drop out. He returned (0 the husking contests this fall after husking less than 100 pounds to get in trim. “1 figured this might be the year,” he said. “After laying off three years I' had an idea I might be right. Even when I cut my hand on a stalk and had to take time out. to have it dressed I was sure I was still in the running. , Son Has Ambition “I knew I was doing a clean job, and I figured if I came in a few pounds short of the faster fellows I probably. would catch them when the judges figured up the penalties.” Mr. Pit is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 1 Y pounds. He farms 300 acres near Kouts, Ind., and has 110 acres in corn. 17-year-old son, Reid, hopes to become a top-flight husker, but his dad admitted today that tbe use of the mechanical picker on the home place fight slow his style. He and Floyd Gesse of Rob Roy, the Indiana runnerup, left for home last night after Mr. Pitzer collected the $100 prize awarded the winner. Ecus Vaughn of Monticello, Ill. one of the early favorites, husked the biggest load—2285 pounds—but he lost 428.95 pounds in penalties and finished third with 26.51 bushels. Lawrence House, the Kansas champion from Goodland, husked the second biggest load—2140 pounds—but he lost more than a fourth of it when the judges took 602 pounds from his penalties and he finished in 15th place.

was “trying to put a sick American seaman ashore.”
Denies Illness The Norwegian official announcement said the Germans had “no sufficient cause for anchoring.” The Norwegians said they had sent a doctor aboard and found no one sick. In Bergen today, Capt. Gainard said that a sailor named Sellers, the one whom the Germans said was {ll yesterday, was in good health today and that he worked yesterday and was working again today. He said one unnamed member of the erew underwent an operation for appendicitis at Murmansk, while the ship was in the Russian port, but was now well. Mrs. Gainard, at 'Melrose, Mass., said that she was “greatly relieved” by her husband’s safety. The members of the crew were in a holiday mood, but they did not believe their adventures were yet over. The City of Flint was far from spic and span and shipshape today. It was dirty and worn from its travels, but American flags were freshly painted on its sides.
Ship Seized Oct. 9
The City of Flint had sailed from New York Oct. 3 with a mixed cargo of goods for Britain. The Deutschland, making it a prize Oct. 9, had put a prize crew of 18 men aboard; the American crew was composed of Capt. Gainard and 40 other men. Under its German master, the ship put into Tromsoe, Norway, Oct. 21. Then, on the plea first that it had no adequate charts, then that it was unseaworthy, the Germans hadl taken it to Murmansk It had remained at Murmansk four days, left there Oct. 27 and touched Tromsoe again Oct. 30. From Tromsoe, in a 950-mile cruise down the Norwegian coast toward the British blockade on the Skagerrak, the 19-year-old, 4963-ton freighter, leased to the United States Lines by the United States Maritime Commission, had steamed through fog: and heavy seas to Haugesund, near the tip of Norway.
British Cruiser Watches It was followed by two Norwegian warships, watching to see that no naval combat k place between it and an Allied war vessel inside the 3-mile limit. Most of the time the

_|of townspeople. The Schwaben left.
Then the Flint anchored and the German consul went aboard. It was the anchoring without permis: sion that caused the Norwegians to send a party aboard and take off the German prize crew for internment and turn the ship over to the Americans.

JAPAN'S PLANS GIVEN T0 U. §.
Grew Tells Nomura Agitation Against Americans Must Stop.
TOKYO, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—American Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew told Foreign Minister Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura today that the United States wanted Japan to stop anti-American activities in China and to give evidence of its intention to foster better relations. Mr. Grew and Admiral Nomura talked for an hour and 15 minutes. Informants said that in a friendly discussion of the whole range of problems in which the United States and Japan have mutual interest, Mr. Grew spoke with the frankness which had astonished his Japanese fonrers in.a luncheon speech Oct.
It was said, he told Admiral Nomura frankly that the present situation was a serious one and that, if it did not improve soon, relations must deteriorate even further, possibly to demands for a trade embargo against Japan.

“You may feel free to consult me as executive secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers Association, but while an official probe is under way, it does not seem proper for me to take an active part in the work of your office and share the responsibility for the manner in which it is operated. - For the time being, that is your problem. “As an advocate of economy in government, more reasonable taxes

Mr, Dawson’s letter follows: “Recently, I accepted an appointment to serve on your advisory committee to try and remedy some of the practices of Center Township relief. However, due to the delay in organizing this comm..tee, I feel the effect has been lost. “As you know, this group could have no official capacity and only make recommendations. You are the only one legally responsible for the administration of your township, and I feel with the recent disclosures that you could take immediate steps to rectify the things already done. “I understand the Grand Jury is going to make an investigation of all Marion County townships and,
being one of these trustees myself, I feel it would be unethical for me |to serve on this committee.

French Figure 500,000
Men Released for Army
PARIS, Nov. 4 (U.P.).—France figured out the implications of the United States arms embargo repeal act today and estimated that, aside from the war materials involved, it had released 500,000 French and British men for the armies. It takes 7000 man-hours to build the fuselage of a fighting airplane and 80,000 hours to build a big bombing plane, it was said. French enthusiasm was increased by the fact that, the American planes already in France have proven. their worth. French experts say that though the German Messerschmidts are faster, the American planes are more easily maneuvered and have not lost a single air combat, though at times French pilots in them have been outnumbered two to one. It was understood that the French and British Governments would study together a joint plan for purchases of war materials. ‘In this connection, it was indicated that the visit yesterday of Winston .Churchill, Great Britains First Lord of the Admiralty, to Paris was of considerable importance. The Admiralty in ‘London announced that he went to confer with French Navy Minister Cesar Campinchi on Allied naval dispositions. This was taken to mean that one important topic was the protection of ships expected to bring American war materials to Europe. Mr. Churchill lunched with Admiral Francois Darlan, commander in" chief of the French Navy; spent two hours talking to Premier-War Minister-Foreign Minister Edovard Daladier during the afternoon, and

Confined to Patrols PARIS, Nov. 4 (U.

Patrols were. especially active in testing opposing lines south of Saarbruecken and northeast of Forbach as well as in the area between Forbach and Saarguemines. The French said they had conducted a successful raid east \f Forbach. German artillery continued to shell French villages behind - the Maginot Line. Twenty shells, which fell into Forbach, caused little damaged, the French said. French batteries shelled the German rear in retaliation. ! The French War Office communique this morning said: “There was patrol activity at various points on the front.” In Berlin the High Command announced: “There was local artillery and reconnaisance activity, as there was yesterday.”
