C. OF C. 0 PUSH HARRISON PLANS
Chamber, Army Officials Discuss Larger Area For Post.
The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce is expected to renew its efforts for enlargement. of the ground area at Ft. Harrison as a result of recent meetings between Army personnel and Chamber officials. According to Chamber officials, the, War Department’s priority list for Ft. Harrison includes acquisition dof new buildings . and additional ‘grounds, but they say the ground acquisition is too far down on the list, They point out the inadequacy of the present grounds for training purposes, especially of the range for new artillery. Army officials say the changes in troop assignments between Army
~— posts will make no appreciable dif-
ference in the total garrison at the ' Jocal post. Fifth Division headquarters are being moved here and Brig. Gen. Campbell B. Hodges -is expected here shortly as commanding officer. He will succeed Brig. Gen. Dana T. Merrill as post commandant within a few months, when Gen. Merrill ~- reaches retirement age.

Kruse Says.
Capt. Edwin Kruse of the Indianapolis Police Department today praised members of the National Armored Car Association for “constantly improving their service and keeping ‘the jump’ on the criminals.”
Capt. Kru » addressed members of the association at their annual three-day convention, at the Hotel Severin. “The police ‘departments of America take off their caps to you, gentlemen,” Capt. Kruse said. “The criminals of America have been un - able to keep up with your constant battle to improve your service. . . . You are not only giving industry protection of money and life, but are discouraging crime.” N

The potential robber must look to some other field.” A motion picture, “Know Your Money,” was shown, following a welcome address by Governor M. Clifford Townsend. - George B.

NEW YORK, April 15 (U. P)— The big item of bullish news before the market this week is activity of the Anglo-French Purchasing Commission with regard to purchases of United States airplanes.
worked out and that the Allied Governments will assume costs of expansion of the American airplane industry. If this is worked out according to present indications, the American airplane factories will be in a position to turn out vast amounts of the latest planes made in much faster speeds than at present. According to reports, the French and British plan to buy planes at the rate of 5000 a year. To turn these out additional factory space will be needed and many more men will be employed in the industry. The machine tool industry will profit through orders from the aircraft companies for tooling the additional units. A problem in broad expansion of the- industry is the lack of skilled workers. Much of the work on airplane bodies is hand work which requires expert craftsmen. Umted Aircraft keeps its factories in New England where craftsmen abound. More are being trained and by the time the airplane industry gets well under way on its expansion, these will be ready for action, it is hoped. The airplane industry is easily going to-break all records for output this year, according to present iig-
- (ures, say the experts.

ee at 500 million dollars or more than double the 225 million dollars in 1939. Exports of airplanes and engines this year are estimated at 325 million dollars, against $117,081,000 in 1939, and 68 million dollars in 1938. Xs of April 1, the airplane industry had unfilled” orders of around 750 million dollars of which about 30 million dollars was for commercial aviation. If the Allies demand faster output and pay for the cost of enlarging and tooling plants, the 1940 cutput may well exceed the estimated figure, it is pointed out." Regardless this, the airplane industry has enough business on its books this minute to carry it along at capacity operations into 1941. At the present time the sbi industry is the busiest in the = - tion. The machine tool industry, also will be in high rank along with it shortly. ‘This, however, is a relatively small industry. It employs around 50,000 men, however, and turns out products valued at a quarter billion dollars. Profits of the aircraft makers are steadily rising and will be especially good on foreign purchases, it is pointed out. Profits on planes made for the U. S. Government are restricted to 12 per cent and our entry into the war would bring a further restriction, according to the experts. Trades are taking this into consideration in their purchases of stocks, according to market analysts, although the tendency in markast circles is still bullish on the aircrafts. .

“Despite all that has been under-

in the field of social security, a herculean task still lies ahead if we

he said. “That task belongs to members And the war against depression and for the economic rehabilitation of . our people will be won only if we shall have harmony among our people. In the waging of that war, there will be no time for bickering or quarrels over non-essentfals.” Mr. Peters said that many believe historians will interpret the activities and changes of the last decade as a “revolution by which we are passing from an old into a new order, both socially and economically.”

He said he had noticed in recent years an increasing tendency of the Federal Government to prosecute individuals charged with the violation of a Federal statute “when the real purpose of such ‘prosecution was to punish a party who had been notoriously guilty of violating the State law.” “The Federal officials, in other
