Dispatches from Bucharest said that Germany was not getting its full quota of oil from Rumania.

While Britain ‘and Italy. celebrated the next move in the blockade of coal, the sea warfare continued. In London, the Admiralty announced the sinking of the 6717-ton British steamer, Pacific Reliance, today and’at the same time claimed the destruction of 50 German submarines since the war began. The Pacific Reliance was sunk “by enemy action” in the Atlantic but remained afloat long enough for the crew to take to lifeboats and follow the guidance of an air - force plane to a west coast haven. It also was announced that the British steamer Charles F. Meyer, 10.516 tons, radioed it was torpedoed off’ the southeast coast and the crew was abandoning ship.

COLLINS TO SEEK CONGRESS SEAT

Ex-Criminal Court. Judge To Put Name Before G. 0. P. State Parley.

James A. Collins, former Judge of the Marion County Criminal Court, today announced that he will be a candidate for Republican nomina-|D tion for Representative in Congress from the 12th district of Indiana. Mr. Collins was judge of the Indianapolis City Court from 1910 to 1914, one term, and then was elected to the Criminal Court bench where he served for 16 years, retiring Dec. 31, 1930. As City Judge, he inaugurated a system: of paying money fines on an installment basis and thus saved hundreds of men and women from incarceration when they were unable to .pay entire fines upon conviction.’ This plan was made a part of the probation system of the. Court. His methods of dealing with first offenders attracted nation-wide attention. Mr. Collitis has been active in the civic life of the community and served for many years as a director of the Family Welfare Society and the American - Settlement. He assisted the late John H, Holliday in organizing the Immigrants’ Aid Association. This organization was the first to emphasize the need of Americanization work among the foreign-born residents of the city. He recenily was decorated by the

tied during the last week and said . that in the first six months of the | war German merchant shipping | losses totaled approximately 271,000 | tons. British losses were placed at about 620,000 tons. Authoritative Nazi quarters - admitted that 11 German submarines had failed to return from raids on enemy shipping. The last German submarine casualty, according to the Air Ministry, was inflicted by an reconnaissance plane, which bombed the Uboat in Schilling Roads dt - the mouth of the “River Elle on the Gérman coast.

Tanker Silent After Call - -

The 5841-ton British tanker El Ciervo has been silent since it reported late yesterday that it was being chased by a submarine in the Atlantic 1700 miles east of Havana. | The message, intercepted by Mackay Radio, said, “S. S. S. 22:10 north, 51:28 west, S. S. El Ciervo being chased by submarine at 20:07 GMT.” Its reported position: is well beyond the American neutrality gone. The British freighter Southgate sent a similar message Friday from a8 position several hundred miles from the El Ciervo’s, but later reported itself “all right.” : In Berlin, the Command reported lively artillery fire and increased patrol activity in one sector of the Western Front. “Between the Moselle River and the Palatinate Forest there was livelier artillery fire and patrol activity,” it said. Paris, however, said that bad weather slowed action along the front, Bot: onthe ground ‘and in the air; There was some patrol activity, however, and .a few French planes made reconnaisance flights over Germany, while German planes

ASKS TRIAL OF “GROUP HEALTH

Or. Cabot Charges 200,000

~ Raps Fee “System.

surgeon, following a U. S. Court of Appeals decision upholding an

Medical Association and others for

trade of the local Group Health

Association. At least 75 per cent of the popu-

care and 200,000 a year are dying needlessly under the present system, Dr. Hugh Cabot charged in the American Magazine. He advocated group’ practice on an annual fee basis, and appealed to medical societies to give the proposed system g fair chance to prove its worth. The Federal Appellate Court here vesterday reversed the District Court, which had thrown out af faulty the Goveriment’s indictment for anti-trust law violation of the A. M. A, the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, the Harris County (Texas) Medical Society and 21 physicians. Appeal to the Supreme Court was predicted today by A. M. A. officials.

Insist It’s Profession

According to the medical societies’ defense, the practice of med icine is a profession and not a trade in the sense of the Sherman AntiTrust Law. Not only medical societies but a’so trade unions were shaken by the language of the Court of Appesls. American Federation of Labor unions are now holding a special conference here, protesting to the Administration and Congress agaist the Justice Department prosecution of building-unio : officials under the anti-trust law. They say labor is exempt from the provisions of this law. But th» Court of Appeals, in ‘he medical case decision, said that Section 3 of the Sherman Act prohibits “any person” from imposing the proscribed restraints. “Congress did not provide that one class, any more than another, might impose restraints or that one class, any more than another, might be subjected to restraint,” the court held. Conspiracy Charged The Government charges that the medical societies conspired to prevent successful operation of group health physicians by threatening them with expulsion from the so‘cieties, by denying tnem essential contacts with other physicians, and by depriving them of hospital facilities for their patients. In reply to the defendants’ argument that they merely exercised their legal right to regulate raembership in their society and tc discipline members, the Appellate Court paid tribute to medical-society rules by which “the quack and: the charlatan have been largely deprived of the opportunity of preying on the unfortunate and the credulous.” But the Court héld that this did not apply to the present indictment. Dr. Cabot, in his separate ettack on the medical societies, accused them of blocking group medicine and - thereby harming both public and physicians. “Most of the trouble with medicine today comes from the system of private practice,” he said, “with a separate, sometimes staggering fee for each service your doctor performs. It is this system which is

21 600 in Mining Town

Live in Constant Dread

SHENANDOAH, Pa., March 5 (U. P.).—This Pennsylvania hard coal city of 21,600 lived in dread today that a cave-in from underground mining operations might be followed by a second sharp collapse of dis-

astrous proportions.

On the scene were Governor Arthur H. James, other State officials

and representatives of Federal agencies and the American Red Cross.

Major Tells Rotarians That Outcome Hinges on Nazi, English Answers.

she could attack through these .directions without making the Great Bear an enemy.”

The 45-year-old writer, who has|.

compiled one of the largest and most important military libraries in the world, scorched Congress for “delaying the national defense appropriations,” reiterated one of his pet plans for a National Defense Board to co-ordinate U. S. defense, and declared that the adequacy of our defense depends upon the country’s foreign policy.

Nazis ‘Would Be Tickled’

But before he could finish his remarks on Congress, the Major diverted to say he had failed to mention that “Germany would be tickled to death to make peace on terms of status-quo—keeping what she has— it would be a victory for her. So why she’s asking for Britain to give up her sea lane control as a term for peace, I don’t know. There is one thing certain, she’s asking for more than she can get.” On national defense, Maj. Eliot said this: “If the foreign policy of the United States envisages our sending another A. E. F. to France, then our defense preparations are not adequate. “If, however, the policy is one to protect us from attack in the Western Hemisphere, the present preparations as pending in Congress are reasonable and adequate.” Maj. Eliot said he believes the point of view of Congress is one of preparation for defense in this hemisphere. The greatest lack in the defense program, he believes, is getting the Congressional - appropriations into actual weapons. The reason the country isn’t’ getting the funds “translated” into equipment is inexperience and “the American temperament of .“hesitating for an ea. Hid ¥

Outlines Duties

He criticized Congress for “delaying funds to build battleships because Congress wants to make each ship perfect. Congress is now trying to tell the Navy how to build battleships.” Maj. Eliot advocated the creation|’ of a National Defense Board to coordinate the national defense pro-

gram and declared that what the

country needs is a continuous effort and careful planning toward ade-

50 | Auate defense.

He said the duties -of such a Board, to be similar to the British Committee of Imperial Defense, would be to advise the President in his duties as commander in chief and to help advise Congress. As far as American war materials and particularly aviation equipment, Maj. Eliot said, “it is the finest in: the world.” He warned against “piling up” great fleets of airplanes that would “become obsolete in a few years.” ; “What we need is careful plan-

mp. ning to permit us to expand in case

of emergency. »

A special committee of nine experts descended 1000 feet below the surface to explore the spiderweblike network of mine operations under the affected area in an effort to determine the exact cause of the subsidence. Deputy State Secretary of Mines Joseph ‘Walsh told the Governor that the settlement which struck the northeastern section of Shenandoah yesterday probably would continue six months. The settling ripped dwellings from their foundations, cleaved buildings and cracked street pavements with wide fissures that resembled effects of an earthquake. Over a long period this would cause high property damage but residents would have ample

‘warning to prepare for the emer-

gency, it was pointed out. Quick Collapse Possible On the other hand, officials said, possibility that a quick collapse

might strike unheralded brought | fears that loss of life might ensue.

If an investigation supports this

fear, much of the affected area may

be evacuated immediately. Burgess Andrew Baraniak estimated damage conservatively at $1,000,000. Through seven terrifying hours yesterday, the earth rumbled, homes and buildings teetered, window glasses shattered and water from broken mains cascaded down the streets. Men, women and children, 4000 in all, rushed fearfully ‘and tearfully from their homes as the man-made earthquake struck. Twisted doorways forced many to climb through windows to safety. The cave-in came so suddenly that many were unable to take personal effects with them, and for a time feared that they might lose them all.

Foot-Wide Fissures Conmnon

Some structures sank as much as five a foot were common in the atfected zone. Gas escaping through broken mains made a dozen persons ill and added to the peril of the situation. But Shenandoah residents have lived close to mines and their dangers all their lives; so 500 families returned to their shattered homes last night and slept over the cavernous excavation from which they were separated by only a thin crust of earth that might give way momentarily. Others whose homes were unsafe were given shelter by neighbors and relatives. Most business continued as usual although two schools were closed. Two possible reasons tor the collapse were given. They were that the barrier pillar left beneath the surface had been eroded by recent heavy rains, or that it had been ‘robbed” by improper tunneling operations. Also still under investigation was whether the subsidence might have. been due to rotting supports in the abandoned Indign Ridge mine. It was expected-that residents of the district would continue to live in their homes. The cave-in was the worst in_the history of the hard-coal region because of its suddenness gnd the wide area affected.

ACT EXTENSION

| OPEN CAMPAIGN,

; Minton Listed Among Those

in ‘Senate Attempting to . Scuttle Plan.

| By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 5. _ spon

_|sors of Hatch: bill No. 2, extending

the' “clean politics” ban to state workers paid from the Federal today sought to fight off amendments aimed at scuttling

nof, only the new measure but the original 1939 law. Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N.

|{M.) warned that public resentment

at such emasculation—if it should succeed—would defeat the Democratic Pdrty in November. Mr. Hatch told the Senate that his proposal to extend the act is Constitutional. Threats of filibuster were whispered in the cloakrooms as he opened his drive by saying: We could have drafted a much more drastic bill and still have been within the Constitution. After a thorough study of the Constitution, I'm convinced that we have vastly’ more power than we have ever sought to exercise.”

Polls Favor Curbs

| Recent nation-wide polls have shown strong public favor for curbs on payroll electioneering. | The amendment to strike out vital sections of the original Hatch act and of the pending Hatch bill was put forward by Senator John E. Miller (D. Ark.). Senator Sherman Minton (D. Ind.), leader of the anti-Hatch forces, said “a lot of people” wepe in favor of it. | But Senator Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky), majority leader, held to a prediction that the law would pass, and said he would vote for it. Thus Mr. Minton, assistant majority leader, was opposing the Demolcratic Party’s Senate chieftain. | Another tactic considered by Senator Minton and others—offer‘ing the anti-lynching bill as a rider so as to invite filibuster—has provoked severe criticism among Mr. Minton’s Democratic colleagues. Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.), co-author with Senator Robert F. Wagner of the antilynching bill, was sharply critical. He pointed. out that the Senate Judiciary Committee now is completing study of the anti-lynching bill, and insisted that it should be dealt with in the normal way.

Debate Effect on Votes

Other Senators are understood to be ready to take the floor and denounce use of anti-lynching legislation as a joker with which to kill other measures instead of allowing it to come before the Senate on its merits. “Adoption of the amendments being suggested by Senator Miller would cost the Democrats thousands more votes than all the state and Federal employees together, left free to electioneer, ever could muster,” Senator Hatch warned. “I hope the Senator will not insist on his proposal.” A contention that it is “unjust to tie up Federal employees and not state employees paid from the Federal treasury,” came from Senator Barkley.

Hatch Hopes for Victory

Mr. Hatch joined the Kentuckian in predicting the bill would pass, despite a furious campaign by its opponents. There were some indications that the opponents’ strategy would be to attempt first to emasculate the measure with the Miller amendments or similar ones, and, that failing, to offer the anti-lynching bill as a rider. There were reports that if the lynch legislation is not used to hamstring the Hatch program, the bill of Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D. Colo.) harring beer advertising on the radio—likewise very contro-versial-—-might be used. Senate consideration of the Hatch bill was delayed yesterday and made the “unfinished business” for today. Senator Hatch expressed hope for a vote before night.

PASTORS GIVE AWAY MARRIAGE SGROLLS

(Continued from Page One)

but over here’s the new pretty kind. Which do you want?” Rather than appear cheap before his bride, the prospective husband usually digs into his pocket and buys the expensive one, the ministerial committee said. Many of the ministers are buying imitation leather certificates from a local publishing house for 35 cents each, while others are buying them from a Cincinnati firm for 37% cents each.

Started by Lacal Pastor

These certificates aren’t quite as nice as those sold by the clerk. The committee found they could buy the clerk's $3 certificates for 75 cents each in small lots fron a publishing house, and estimated the price would be a lot less in large quantities. ~ The plan adopted by the ministers first was suggested at a Methodist Ministerial Asscciation meeting here last Oct. 9 by the Rev Ralph R. Cross of the West Michigen Street Methodist Church, who moved the members get some sort of certificates to be given away free. Then the matter was called to the attention of the Indianapolis

committee, headed by the Rev. E. Arnold Clegg of the Capitol Avenue Methodist Church. The committee could find nothing in the law either authorizing or prohibiting the sale of such certifi-
