WELLES CABLES + TO AMERICA FOR DATA ON ‘PEACE

Requests Full Report: on Swedish Efforts; Continues Paris Conferences.

f PARIS, March 8 (U. P.).—Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles

has asked the State Department at|§

Washington to cable him a full report of Swedish efforts to end the Russo-

Finnish war, it was’ under-| £

stood today. ‘$Mr., Welles was interested in the reports that Sweden, at Russia's reest and in co-operation with Germany, was seeking to end the war. ~ iAny news he could obtain rene negotiations was calculated be of value to him in his talks here and in London as President Roosevelt’s special envoy delegated to survey the state of European war end the prospects for peace. 5 Particularly, it was understood, Mr. Welles sought to inform himself fully of peace moves before he left for London Sunday, so he could discuss with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, the position of the Scandinavian Governments as regards both the Russo-Finnish and Buropean wars. 3 Begins Rounds of Visits “Mr. Welles, after his talks with President Albert Lebrun and Premier Edouard Daladier yesterday, began his round of visits today by conferring with Jules Jeanneney, 76-year-old radical Socialist president of the Senate. “Then Mr. Welles visited Edouard . Herriot, president of the Chamber of Deputies, whom he had met in Washington in 1933. - Mr. Welles and M. Herriot drove together to the home of Leon Blum, Socialist leader and former popufar front Premier, whom Mr. Welles desired to see. The talk between Mr. Welles and M. Herriot was reported to have centered on Finland. : Envoy Tight-Lipped An engagement was made to see Andre De La Bouiaye, former Ambassador at Washington, this afternoon. M. La Boulaye is now chief of the American press censorship at the Continental Hotel center. Afterward he planned to talk to Camille Chautemps, Vice Premier, and Georges Bonnet, Justice Minister and former Foreign Minister. Newspapers tactfully ‘played up the personal rather than the political ‘aspect of Mr. Welles’: visit, knowing that he did not desire senSational treatment of his mission: They got much fun out of his tight- lipped attitude toward newspaper men. Their comment, friendly, indicated that he had at once impressed those Frenchmen whom he had met as a first rate diplomat, suave, experienced and well chosen for a delicate task.

WASHINGTON, March 8 (U. P.).—Archduke Otto of Hapsburg, pretender to the: non-existent throne of Austria-Hungary, seeks to learn about democracy today from the man he considers its chief exponient—President Roosevelt.

He also will discuss with Mr, Roosevelt his plan for a post-war Danubian federation powerful enough to maintain a balance of power between the larger and weaker nations.

RULING SNAGS "HARBOR PLANS

Porter County Project Held Up as State Reports Funds Not Available.

An Attorney General's opinion that no funds are legally available from the $50,000 Legislative appropriation for the State Harbor and Terminal Board disclosed today that a proposed huge harbor project in Porter County is being

postponed. The opinion was asked by Frank

said that several small claims againg tthe appropriation have been paid. The Harbor Board was created by the 1939 Legislature and $50,000 was appropriated for the Board's expenses. The law specified that no money be spent until land had been donated and right-of-ways secured for a proposed new harbor and canal on Porter County on Lake Mich The. bill in the Legislature originally asked for more than $200,000 and would have provided that the State purchase some of the land for the project. The Legislature reduced this amount to $50,000 and provided that none of it be made available until sponsors of the project had obtained all rights-of-way and had constructed at least one building. Sponsors of the project said they planned to build “another steel city,” similar to Gary, Ind, at a cost of several million dollars. Mr. Thompson said that, when his office checked the claims that he discovered that all *the provisions of the Act had not been fulfilled. “Arrangements will be made to force repayment of the money paid out on claims,” he said. “All of them for small amounts as expenses of Harbor Board members.”

By THOMAS M. JOHNSON _ Noted Military Writer Czechoslovakia’s will to live grows

stronger. The Czechs have struck

back their first blow, in a manner new and significant of things to come, Word has reached America that Czech air squadrons have joined the French Army on the Western Front and Czech pilots have brought down German planes, including one of the new Messerschmidts. This: is interesting, not just because of the David-and- Goliath appeal, but because this Czech David has in his sling bigger and better -stones. than might appear.

INI DIANAPOLIS

Czechs’ Will to Live Grows Stronger and 15,000 Train for Allied Servic

These first hundred Czech airmen are the “pilots” leading 600 more, daring survivors of one of Europe’s best-trained air forces, who have eluded the Nazis and flitted to France to fight for their country’s freedom. Some even flew their own planes via Poland or Rumania. Supporting them are many of the mechanics and technicians in whom Czechoslovakia abounds — trained gunners, radio men, engineers, munitions workers. Probably the most expert army in Europe are Czechoslovakia’s 15,000 men now training to support their airmen near the old A. E. F. port of Bordeaux.

Their cold expertness is

animated by a flaming desire to right * their oppressed country’s wrongs By _ thousands they have found stealthy: paths leading out of their country, now a prison house. First through Poland, now through Rumania and Jugoslavia, they come, burning with desire to strike a blow for freedom. Through Jugoslavia alone have come nearly a 100 specialists, men worth their weight in gold to an army. Escapes were often carefully planned by several secret organizations in the Nazis’ midst. “They have even found wayg for three generals to escape this past

month despite the arrest of many forme Czech army" officers. All Czech roads lead to Bordeaux, even from America whence has come much help. According to advices received here, the youthful Czech pilot who brought down the Messerschmidt. flew an American plane, wore an American sweater, and, afterward, smoked an American cigaret. For backing him and the rest of he Czech army-in-exile are nearly two million peuple in this country of Czechoslovak birth or descent. Their “capifal” is ‘Chicago and besides Illinois they. are numerous in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
