been shot down in another air raid

on Viborg at the eastern end of the!

Gulf of Finland. Russian planes roared along the entire southern coast of Finland, dodging anti-aircraft fire and dropping a dozen bombs in the Helsink! area. Finnish batteries, greatly strengthened since the last Red aerial raids two weeks ago, fired volley after volley at the Russian planes in the Helsinki district, at Abo and along the upper Vuocksi River, where large Finnish power plants are located. American capital estimated at $10,000,000 is invested in the plants. Report Fortress Bombed Twelve bombs were dropped also at the town of Lumar-| inkula, near Helsinki, but it was added there was no serious damage. Soviet planes in their raid yes- | terday on Viborg dropped bombs, | one of which, the Finnish news| agency said, fell near a Red Cross hospital. The planes also were reported to have turned machinegun fire on the streets, killing a woman. Reports persisted that the Russian planes dropped parachutes during today’s raids, but police falied to find any. It was believed they might have dropped propaganda pamphlets rather than have attempted to land soldiers behind the Finnish lines. Alarms were sounded at Imatra but planes were not sighted. There were reports that Sveaborg | fortress outside Helsinki port had been bombed and that one Russian plane was shot down, but officials | lacked confirmation. | Defenses Well Organized Leaflets were dropped in Kaison-| iemi Park at the edge of the city. | Reports of the number of Russian planes varied from eight to 13. One man said he had seen one group of | four planes and another group of! nine.

Foreign Minister Jose Maria Cantilo was believed to have decided definitely upon the grounds on which the German crew would be interned under Hague conventions. He had been consuited by the German and British ambassadors, Baron Edmund von Thermann and Sir Esmond Ovey. The German Embassy was re-

however, announced any important aerial action at Syit today. A German plane was reported north of the Shetland Islands, where a British fighter went up to search for it —apparently without result. No air alarm was sounded. Meanwhile, airplane experts 1cokecl forward to a series of spectacular, and increasingly bigger, fights over the Nort Sea and the German coastal area. The British Roval Air Force raid over Helgoland Bay, perhaps Germany’s strongest naval base, which resulted in a five-hour battle yesterday and brought heavy casualties to both sides was the second, not the first big scale British aerial operation in recent days. It was disclosed that a total of 65 British planes took part in raids over the same area last Thursday. British “security patrols,” established recently to combat the Ger{man mine laying campaign, are a {part of a general bid for aerial (domination, it was understood. They are intended to keep German mine laying planes at their bases in the early morning hours, their usual time of devarture. The Air Ministry asserted that 12 German Messerschmidt fighting planes, out of a total of 24 engaged, were shot down in the Helgoland battle yesterday. It was admitted that seven British planes had not returned. (Germany asserted that 36 of a total of 44 British planes were shot down and admitted the loss of but two planes.) Royal Navy Is Active In addition to the air force activity there was the sensational activity of the Royal Navy. Not only had the Germans scuttled the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee rather than face an Allied squadron but the Admiralty asserted that one German cruiser had been sunk and two others damaged-—one perhaps fatally—-during the last week.

PLAN HEARING ON PURCHASING OF GAS MAINS

Council Gets Ordinance; Bicycle Fee Measure Is Introduced.

City Councilmen will meet in special session early next month to arrange a public hearing on an ordinance providing for City cone demnation of the Indianapolis Gas Co. mains and other property. The condemnation ordinance was introduced by the City Utility Dis« trict at last night's Council meete ing, following adoption of resolue tions passed last week by the Utility's trustees and directors.

Cycle Fee Bill Introduced

In a session marked by a revival of factional conflict, the Council also approved an ordinance authorizing the Works Board to buy a concrete proportioning plant, two concrete mixers and trucks for the City Asphalt Plant, and deferred action on the Health Board’s milk grading ordinance pending settle ment of the milk price dispute by the State Milk Board. An ordinance which would require all bicycles to be registered with the City Controller for a 50-cent fee was introduced for first reading.

Act as Committee of Whole

Council adopted ordinances au= thorizing fund transfers in the Fire Pension and public building funds and authorizing a $75,000 temporary loan for the Fire Pension Fund. Action was postponed on an ordie nance which would enable the City to require a $1000 bond of contractors installing private driveways across City property, and charging a $1 to $5 driveway permit fee. Councilmen decided to consider the gas condemnation ordinance as a committee of the whole, and named F. B. Ransom, Democrat, as committee chairman. The ordinance, if adopted, would result in the filing of a suit in Cir« cuit Court or one of the Superior Courts asking the Court to name appraisers to fix a fair price at which the City could buy the Ine dianapolis Gas property. The property includes 533 miles of mains, which is slightly more than half the mains used by the City utility. It also includes the Langsdale Ave. gas plant and the W. Ninth St. distribution plant.

Baltzell’'s Ruling Appealed

When the City bought the old Citizens Gas Co. property in 1935, it refused to be bound by a 99-year lease under which the Citizens Gas Co. had operated the Indianapolis Gas Co. property since 1913. Prior

Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board President and a director of the Utility District, reviewed briefly the City’s gas history for councilmen. Dr. Walter C. Hemphill, Republic« an Councilman, commented that “about 90 per cent of the people in Indianapolis think they already own all of the Gas Co. and are going to be disillusioned.” “It would seem from all the pube licity on the Federal Court trial here that people would know that twa concerns were involved in the gas distribution system,” Mr, Keach ree torted.
