The wounded man, George Calvin, a taxi driver who protested. when the bandits ordered him from his car and was shot, apparently had established what G-men had been a|trying to do for more than two years —that Cole and Roe reached the mainland without drowning after their break from the “Rock” in San Francisco bay on a foggy afternoon in December, 1937.

Mr. Calvin unhesitatingly; iden- j

His identification climaxed a week of rumors that the two [fugitives were back in this neighborhood, the scene of their outlaw days before they were put in Alcatraz as desperate felons. No| man before or since them’ has |broken from Alcatraz. | For weeks after the break it had been

expected that sooner or later the

bodies of these two would be washed ashore, because the water between.

the prison island and the mainland seemed beyond the endurance of any swimmer, and every conceivable safeguard has been taken against boats going near the prison. The FBI assigned agents to hunt the two fugitives and never recalled them from the job, although until this week there had been no public knowledge of any evidence that they were alive, and it had seemed that the G-men |were hunting two desperadoes who didn’t exist. Mr. Calvin |was dying from his wound. He made the identifications

First Lady Signs For Broadcasts

WASHINGTON, April 4 (U. P.—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will return to the air next April 30, this time as star of ia radio program advertising Sweetheart toilet soap, it was announced today. The President’s wife, who will speak twice weekly over National Broadcasting Co. networks, probably will discuss topics of interest to women, it was said. Mrs. Roosevelt was signed for 13 weeks, with an option to renew at the end of that time, The program, to be broadcast from 12:15 p. m. to 12:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, will be known as “Sweetheart Toilet Soap Presents Eleanor Roosevelt.” Representatives of the advertising company said Mrs. Roosevelt’'s talks would not be in the nature of news commentaries but more in the style of “My Day,” her syndicated column.

BRITISH PRESS 1S COOL AFTER CABINET SHIFT

Churchill to Direct War; Chamberlain Is More Certain of Victory.

LONDON, April 4 (U.P.).—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said in| a speech today that he was 10 times as confident of victory as he ves when | the war started, that Britain was ready for an intensified war or a long one, that the blockade was going to drain Germany's

!life blood, and that Britain was not

going to let Germany profit indefinitely by unscrupulous warfare. . Mr. Chamberlain spoke to the Central Council of the dominant National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, as. head of the Conservative Party. . “Hitler missed the bus,” Mr. Chamberlain said of Germany’s ‘failure, despite its superior preparation for war, to wage big scale warfare. 'Thanks to the seven months breathing-space which non-intense war had given Britain, he said, it

steadily, whatever might come. Secret Session Ordered

Later, Mr. Chamberlain announced that the House of Commons will meet April 11 for a secret session to debate the Allied program for economic warfare against Germany. Discussing effectiveness of the blockade of Germany, ‘Ronald Cross, minister of economic warfare, told Commons that the value of United States exports to the United Kingdom and France for the four-months. period ending in December had -increased by $22,000,000, compared to the corresponding period of 1938. Today's speech followed by a few {hdurs Mr. Chamberlain’s reshuffting of the British Cabinet by which | the dynamic Winston Churchill was senior minister of the fighting services. Sir Kingsley Wood was taken from the post of air minister and made Lord Privy Seal, co-ordinator of home front activities. Sir Kingsley traded his Air Minister’s post with Sir Samuel Hoare. Sir John Simon will continue to preside over the Cabinet's economic policy committee.

Press Not Enthused

The changes were greeted without enthusiasm for the most part in the British press, although the Churchill appointment won favor. Hcpe was expressed that in his new job the popular First Lord of the Admiralty would actually prove to be the real head and.co-ordina-tor of the fighting services, Army and Air Force as well as Navy Mr. Chamberlain's reorganization was criticized as half-hearted. Criticism was tempered only because of Mr. Churchill's promotion to a position regarded as more suited to his energy and grasp. The general tone of the press was that at least the country might be thanked for the small blessing of Mr. Churchill's promotion, but it was asked what was the reason for the rest of the reshuffle. The Labor Party organ, Daily “| Herald, was most critical. It saw “lack of imagination and a surfeit of complacency” in Mr. Chamberlain’s reorganization, and likened his changes to those of thé mad hatter at his tea party in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a sort of

SYMPHONY EXTENDS DRIVE TO APRIL 15

With 31 per cent of its 1940-41 séason’s goal pledged to date, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra maintenance fund campaign has been extended to April 15. The drive will close with the next and final report meeting on that date, instead of tomorrow, as had been planned originally. The 31 per cent pledged does not represent the entire contributions received during the drive. Several pledges have been made for periods from two to five years. The campaign’s immediate objective is the attainment of the maintenance fund quota for the coming two seasons.

everyone changed places but the party remained as before. The Independent = Conservative Daily Mail, chief organ of the Rothermere newspaper chain, which has long demanded a compact inner War Cabinet, said that Mr. Churchill's increased authority would" be welcomed. Even the conservative Daily Telegraph, friendly to the Government and close to the Foreign Office, said that Mr. Chamberlain would willingly have undertaken a larger reconstruction if he had had more talent outside the Government to choose from. The News Chronicle, Liberal Party organ, suggested in this connection that Mr. Chamberlain might usefully have promoted Anthony Eden from Dominions Minister and given a post to the veteran conservative L. S. Amery, a former First Lord of the Admiralty. This time; Mr. Chamberlain said, the Allies would not be cheated of the fruits of victory but would assure themselves of the elements of European security.

BERLIN, April oril 4 (U. P.)—The German press angrily denounced the reorganized British Government today as “proof” that the Allies were planning more intense and ruthless war “against neutrals,” and declared that the Nazi air force would “strike the hardest blow in destruction of England.” “England will be destroyed and our air force will strike the hardest blow in this destruction,” said an advance review of a new motion picture of German aerial activity in Poland which was splashed across the front pages. German sources refused, however, to discuss reports that the Nazis were prepared to send an expeditionary force across the Baltic to Scandinavia if necessary to counter the Allied efforts to stop German shipments of iron ore from Sweden via Norway.

STOCKHOLM, Ap: April 4 (U. P)— Well-informed quarters here doubt ed reports that Germany contemplates sending! an expeditionary force of 400,000 troops across the Baltic to protect her Scandinavian ore routes.
