Air VS. Sea Pow
THE SEIZURE OF key bonis on the Norwegian coast by the Germans invol esa potential showdown between airpower and seapower. Such a contest beseapower and German airpower—has been in the m g since the beginning of the war, but these operations to date have been preliminary bouts. | | The issue is well defined. Victory in this war obviously depends upon airpower supremacy, And the first step naturally involves a showdown between. German aviation and the British Navy—which is the bulwark of the latter nation’s line of food supplies. |
This accounts for the repeated, if spasmodic, German air attacks on the British fleet and its bases, to the exclusion of tackling the British airforce immediately. | If the’ British intend to move an expeditionary force into Scandinavia, that project. cannot be effected without the protection of the British fleet—to enable a landing on. the Norweglan coast, and for convoying troops and sup lies. | Such’ landing force operations must be preceded by sea control—by bat-
. tleships and |cruisers, which will be resisted by Ger-
| man dive [pombers and heavier bombers.

That's the one startling, amazing," fabbeigusiing thing about Miami Beach. It’s a show-window that
brings to you the sudden knowledge that this country .
is full of people who, without being either famous or notorious, are just quietly good and rich. ” ” 2
A Distinctive Architecture
Miami Beach is 25 years old. It is separate and distinct from Miami itself. It lies just off Miami, on a long peninsula and on numerous little islands
| scattered around. You get to it by driving across
causeways and bridges. When I say it is the largest batch of ’ homes I've ever seen, I mean it. The arc is different from anything I've ever seen. Spanish, nor Colonial, nor modernistic. . It is .omething that has evolved right here as a combination of them all. Like the Santa Fe architecture of the Southwest, it is peculiar to one spot. It is a white architecture, plain and straight, broken just enough to shatter monotony. The new hotels are tall and narrow and glistening white— from a distance they resemble great monuments.

But when you stand and Liars at the packed masses of people lying or playing or strolling on the beach, you notice that the architecture of-the human form hasn’t improved much. ” ” # |
| Miami Beach has a permanent population of 20,000. In the winter it shoots up to 70,000. As soon as the winter visitors leave, Miamians come rushing over to rent homes for the summer. There are approximately 11,000 lots in Miami Beach. Unless they dredge and fill some more, there can’t ever be more than that. For the city is surrounded by water, and that’s all the land there is. In the last five years more than $50,000,000 worth of building has been done in Miami Beach. They have built 144 new hotels, 400 apartment houses and 1355 residences. The building boom will go on this year.
In ny
other 10 years Miami Beach will be built to saturation. |

a harbor of sufficient dimensions and accommoated with sufficient dock space, ‘and these points Iready are under German control. Likewise, such an peration subjects the British line of sea communiations to flanking airpower attacks and submarine
|attack. That line of sea communications is approxi-
ately 300 miles long, subject to dislocation by even he smallest. submarines and the shortest-ranged ireraft. Furthermore, if the British attempt to prepare
[the way for the landing forces with mass bombing | raids, they will be subjected to losses proportionate
o those suffered when 52 British bombers attacked elgoland—and 37 of them were shot down by singleeater fighters and anti-aircraft fire. 2 2 2
till Another Handicap
The records of the war to date clearly disclose hat no bomber formation can stand determined ingle-seater attack. Still another handicap for Britain in attempting landing-party operations on the Norwegian coast is that all suitable debarkation points are practically in the midst of Norwegian cities. This humanitarian hazard is an additional deterrent against bombardment. Likewise, the lesson of the torpedoing of the aircraft carrier Courageous, and the vulnerability of such craft in restricted waters such as the North Sea, exclude the use of this type of craft in the convoying or assisting of British landing-party operations. Carrier-based aircraft are inferior in performance to shore-based aircraft, because of the arresting-gear equipment on these planes. The British have been angling for a sea fight with the virtually non-existent German Navy, and developments appear to be shaping up to the inevitable showdown between airpower and seapower which the British have been avoiding. And so, with: the British playing their seapower trumps against the German airpower trumps, it appears that tricks are about to be taken in this clash between fleet guns and steel-sided battleships.

fication of the Hull reciprocal trade agreements was almost adopted. That shameful proposition was sponsored, amazingly enough, by the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Key Pittman, who above all other Senators might be supposed to take a serious view of what we face internationally, but who insists upon doing the opposite. His amendment lost by only three votes. A shift of two Senators would have passed it and that would have scuttled the Hull program. We escaped, but only by the narrowest clearance. The 41 votes cast for this proposal of legislative murder stand as a monument to Senatorial betrayal, whether prompted by ignorance, or by white-livered political expediency. » ” »
The | Republican Stand
Not a single Republican came to the support of the Hull program in that crisis. If that is an index of the attitude the party is to take in the Presidential campaign, then it is a serious question whether it has a sufficient sense of national responsibility to entitle it to govern. This issue goes direct to the vital difficulty that we face, namely, a post-war world in which foreign trade will be state-c8ntrolled by most of the larger powers and manipulated to dominate smaller nations so as to
insure access to needed raw materials and markets for|
exports. And our Senators think that the United States can meet a situation like that by going back to the kind of domestic tariff politics that produced the Hawley-Smoot act! The Hull program is more than a plan for reduc-
.ing trade barriers. It provides machinery for Govern-
ment negotiation with other Governments by administrative experts. By no other method short of direct authoritarian measures can we protect our economic interests in the trade struggle which will come after the war, when all Governments will use foreign trade as a controlled economic weapon.

Across from us, the snow-covered mountains gleamed in the sun and the beauty of it was something to fortify the soul against the ugliness of much that is going on in the world today. More small nations are being taken over by force. To be sure, the Berlin dispatches say Norway is being protected against the British. I wonder if history will not merely record what soldiers actually went into various countrjes, and pay little attention to the pronouncements given out by Governments.

FIGHT PROPOSED ROAD 31 ROUTE
Southport Businessmen to Demand Audience With Townsend.
The Perry Township Business-{C men, Inc. plans to send a formal demand to Governor M. Clifford Townsend for an audience to protest the proposed relocation of Road
"131 from Indianapolis to one mile
south of Greenwood. Attorneys for the civic organization were authorized to send a telegram to the Governor after reporting at a meeting last night in the Southport High- School gymnasium that “for three weeks we have been unsuccessful in getting an audi-
ence.” 2 At the same time, the association
attorneys, Elmer E. House and Ed-
ward E. Thompson, were preparing a legal remonstrance against the proposed new highway plan. It is to be preseated to the State Highway Commission tomorrow.
Claim It-Would Be Larger
The organization contends that the proposed new road would be one and one-half miles longer than the present route, would miss Southport entirely and would mean expensive duplication of highways. The group favors adequate im-
{provements to existing Road 31.
The proposal by the Highway Commission includes the widening and improvement of S. East St. and Madison Ave. to Troy Ave. where the new road would join. The new route would be through fields, would touch the west edges of Greenwood and Edgewood and would be about one and one-third miles west of Southport, opponents claim,
‘Won’t Meet Aim’
. They claim that the road was mapped without any indication to those who would be affected by it. Relocated as a plan to relieve traffic congestion, the Perry Township group claims that a traffic survey proves that it will not serve that purpose. The claim also is made that the relocated route would confain seven curves while there are none on the existing road. Organization speakers last night said the new road would take away business from op-|pf erators of filling stations, garages and tourist camps along the present route. Mr. House said the existing route would be satisfactory if adequate repairs were made. He charged that needed repairs never have been made.
‘You Can’t Relax’
“Because of ruts and slick condition of the tar,” he said, “you have to hang on to the steering wheel like a driver in the 500-mile race or go off the road. You can’t relax a minute. L. A. Smith, locating enginger for the Highway Commission, told me he wouldn't drive over the road unless he had to on official business.” Howard C. Smith, organization president, presided at last night's
‘|meeting. President D. S. Robinson
of Butler University spoke, terming local communities the foundation of a democracy. He was presented by the Rev. James E. Collins, pastor of the University Heights Christian Church.
COWDRILL ACTS FOR - REEVES SETTLEMENT
Robert H. Cowdrill, National Labor Relations Board regional director, today sought to unsnarl the three-way jurisdictional dispute at the Reeves Pulley Co. of Columbus, Ind, by dividing employees into three bargaining groups. He certified the Pattern Makers Association of Indianapolis and Vicinity, an A. PF. of L. union, as bargaining agent for pattern makers and apprentices. He ordered an election among tool makers, machinists, specialists and apprentices on the question of representation by the A. F. of L. International Association of Machinists or the independent Transmission Workers and Machinists Union of Columbus. Other employees will vote as to whether they wish to be represent-

win the other 108 square miles prising Indianapolis and the small towns. They were interested only in the farmer’s worry and what a worry they found for him! Frachly 219 bugs per square foot.
'Thrived Last Winter
The general opinion was that the long, hard winter would kill off armies of the bugs which prey upon wheat, oats and corn. But the steadily cold winter just passed is exactly the reason why the cinch bug population is so great, according to Horace E. Abbott, County Agriculture Agent. When it's cold, he explained, the bugs hibernate. They take shelter in corn stalks or under clumps of grass along fences and stay there as long as the cold remains.
It’s a changeable winter which is tough on the bugs. They seek shelter when it’s cold, then when it warms up a bit they venture out, and when new cold arrives in a hurry they are caught napping. Mr. Abbott said that the bug census takers found increased popu-
Creosote Kills Bugs
The farmers’ method of attack, he said, is not a spray, but to dig furrows at the edge of the field and fill them with creosote, the latter having a killing effect as the little bugs with tiny wings which they seldom use, crawl into planted fields for their attack. Cinch bugs don’t have much appetite for tomatoes, so while there is some concern over their effect on other crops, there is yet no way of telling what Indiana’s premier tomato growers will have to contend with. The tomato’s principal enemy is the tomato fruit worm and doesn’t appear until tomato time, so predictions can’t be made. Aside from early planning of a war against the bug, the farmers now are catching up with their plowing, which was retarded by the dry, cracked soil until recent rains, Mr. Abbott said.

BARS 2 OFFICES FROM ELECTION
Assessor, Trustee Posts Not Involved in "40 Poll, Cox - Rules.
The offices of County Assessor and Center Township Trustee are not for election this year. This was the opinion handed down by Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox yesterday settling, at least temporarily, the hotly disputed issue which has plagued not only the incumbent holders of both offices but the County Election Board and others. The issue was settled in three rulings by Judge Cox, two returned yesterday and one the day before, in suits filed by three of the four aspirants for the two offices. The “candidates” sought to open the offices for election this year on grounds that the two present officeholders, County Assessor Ira Haymaker and Center Township Trustee Henry F. Mueller, when named last year to fill unexpired terms of their predecessors, were only to hold office until the next general election. Judge Cox said both offices were up for election every four years and that because of that they were subject to the 1942 elections and not this year’s primary or general election. The suits were filed by Elder C. Zaring and: Samuel Montgomery, “candidates” for the office of County Assessor, and Mrs. Maude G. Hobson, who declared her candidacy for the Center Township post. In returning the decision, Judge Cox ruled that County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger had a legal right to refuse to accept the tendered declarations of the ‘“candidates.”

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 11 (U. P.)—First description of the invasion of Norway, brought here by travelers, revealed that German troops had descended on Oslo from airplanes and that the port of Christiansand, on the south coast, had been severely bombed. Among the refugees reaching here were 37 British and American volunteers with the Finnish Army, who had been headed for home by train across Norway when that country was invaded. They turned back from Oslo, leaving 28 of their companions there, too sick or tired to move. A Briton, Rex Roberts, gave the following account of the volunteers’ adventure: “Our train had traveled all the way from Haparanda (on the Fin-nish-Swedish border, north of the Gulf of Bothina, 600. miles from Oslo.) At 10:30 a. m. Tuesday we were about six miles from Oslo when I noticed six big airplanes flying high over the train. Three of them came very low and 1 recognized them as German bombers. I could hardly believe my eyes. “The planes did not bomb or machine gun the train and we reached the Oslo station safely. We had been scheduled to sail for England that night on a Norwegian boat
'home.
“We walked from the station to the city hotel, about 400 yards away, and noticed there was general excitement in the city, but still could not make out what it ‘was about. “Suddenly a passer-by shouted to us that the Germans were in town. By the time we reached the hotel we learned that German airplanes had flown over the city at 12:35 a. m., giving the first sign of the invasion. As we entered the hotel, a plane dived down to within 200 yards of the ground with its motors wide open. Three -machine guns from the roof of a nearby building opened fire. Soon, the sky was criss-
“They bombed the airfield on the edge of the city. Simultaneously, 17 planes landed and 20 soldiers hopped out of each of them in full war kit. There was another air alarm and people ran for shelter. “A half hour later I walked to the postoffice and saw two German soldiers with fixed bayonets and “potato masher” grenades hanging at their belts, on guard at the main entrance. About 20 more German soldiers were inside the building. People were very calm, some joking with the soldiers. |
