KIRUNA, Sweden, April 17 (by: Telephone to Stockholm).—A German force of between 2000 and 2500 men today faced the choice of annihilation, surrendér or a fighting retreat into Sweden from Narvik, the Norwegian iron ore port and the northern outpost of the German occupation

army.

German troops and British occupation forces were reported fighting in the streets of Narvik. A small German force had fought its way across the rugged snow-covered mountains to the Swedish frontier. The main German force is based on the bluff Rombak Heights, across the fjord from Narvik, its line of retreat cov-

ered by the big guns of British warships.

The way from Narvik-to Sweden is dotted with German and Norwegian dead, lying in the snow,

TEACHERS GET TRAFFIC PLEA

‘Set Example in Pedestrian Safety,” ‘Letter From Evans Requests.

Indianapolis school teachers were §

enlisted today in the campaign to slash the City’s growing pedestrian traffic toll. In letters sent to geholls by William A. Evans, schools safety education director, teachers were asked to set an example of pedestrian safety for other adults, as well as for youth. “Co~- -operation of principals and teachers in obeying pedestrian traffic laws and encouraging other adults to do likewise should be an important factor in promotion of safety,” the letters stated.

Expert Aids Campaign

The move to enlist the school teachers’ ald is part of the campaign announced yesterday by Chief Michael F. Morrissey and the Cit1zens Safety Committee to teach pedestrians “to save themselves.” Sergt. Kenneth Dickinson, traffic expert who came here this week to help the City in its fight to prevent| traffic deaths, approved the pro-

other phases of the safety program. “The letters to the teachers quoted Chief Morrissey as saying that “if adults would practice the same safety rules that -are taught to school children, we could make Indianapolis the safest city in the United States.” Mr. Evans pointed out that 16 of the 22 persons killed in traffic here since Jan. 1, were pedestrians. He noted also that 13 of the 16 were 40 years of age or over and that nine of the 16 were crossing between intersections ‘when struck and two were walking against a red traffic light. Cites Growing Toll

“Of the 140 pedestrians injured this year in| Indianapolis, 62 were ‘crossing in the middle of the block, 10 walked against the light, and 10 walked diagonally across the intersection,” the| notice said. Mr. Evans pointed out that the number killed in traffic this year was double the number of traffic fatalities in the same period of 1939 and that approximately 72 per cent of those killed this year were pedestrians. ~The notice was called to the attention of principals by Superintendent DeWitt S. Morgan at a principals’ meeting yesterday afternoon. A copy was sent to Mrs. Clifford B. Moore, Parent-Teacher Association safety chairman with the suggestion that she might wish to make a similar recommendation at P.-T, A. meetings.

More than 1000 German, Norwegian and British dead lie at the bottom of Narvik harbor. The harbor itself is the graveyard of some 40 German, British and Norwegian warships and German, British, Nor-

My information is that among these ships is a British

cruiser.

I have reached Kiruna, one of the two great Swedish ore centers, far above the Arctic Circle, after escaping with the last Norwegian troops and refugees from Narvik and keeping as near as I could to the scene of action, in the frontier area on both sides, sometimes using skis. The situation as it appears as-1 telephone to Stockholm is that the whole German occupation force in the Narvik area is completely cut off from contact with the main German forces by land and sea. Their sole hope of supply in the inhospitable Arctic snows is the airplane.

Polls were open during working hours in plants located in Michigan, Ohio, New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, Connecticut, California and New Jersey. Tabulations-of ballots will begin -tomorrow and the result will be announced in Detroit as soon as counting is completed. General Motors has announced that it will continue in effect the existing contract with each faction in plants. where each wins a majoriy but a decisive victory for either side would add much prestige to the winner's bargaining position.

ASKS WORLD'S LARGEST NAVY

Admiral Stark Proposes . Three Billions for New U. S. Construction.

WASHINGTON, April 17 (U. P.). —Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, today asked the Senate Naval Affairs Committee to authorize the United States to build the world’s largest navy. The construction he proposed would cost $3,486,000,000 The committee is considering a bill to authorize an 11 per cent increase ‘in the U. S. fleet. But Admiral Stark urged the committee to increase the nation’s naval strength; already second in the world, by at least 25 per cent and to expedite construction of previously authorized ships. Admiral Stark, reading more answers prepared by Navy experts to a questionnaire drafted by Committee Chairman David I. Walsh (D. Mass.), also said the Navy “has had under exhaustive study for six months battleships ranging in size from 40,000 to 70,000 tons. It seems probable that 40,000 tens will be the minimum for future battleship construction.”

Build 45,000-Ton Warships

The WU. 8. now is building two 45,000-ton battleships; two more are scheduled to be started soon. Testifying for the third day on the House-approved Vinson Bill, Admiral Stark recommended that Congress appropriate sufficient money to build all vessels now authorized and then add an additional 25 per cent to the fleet's tonnage. Completion of the authorized program could be effected, he testified, by an annual appropriation of 600 million dollars for construction over the next few years. That would enable construction of three aircraft carriers totaling 85,600 tons; 14 cruisers of 257,000 tons; 68 destroyers of 142,830 tons, and 36 submarines of 57,856 tons. - In approving the Vinson Bill, the (Continued on Page Three)

ATLANTA, Ga., April 17 (U. P.). —The Ku-Klux Klan was unmasked today in one of a series of edicts by Imperial Wizard James A. Colescott which entirely reorganized the ritual of the oncedreaded robed and hooded order. In another edict, Mr. Colescott struck at the ritual of the fiery Cross. He said that from now on no crosses. may be burned except by approval of the Regional Dragon or in unorganized realms of the Imperial Wizard. The edict on the masks, released after unanimous approval of the Imperial Kloncilium, Klan governing body, forbade the wearing of hoods or masks by any Klansman on any occasion. Violators will lose their membership in the order. “I've been considering this step ever since I became Imperial Wizard” (in 1939), Mr. Colescott said. “It means that from now on no authorized Klansman will take part in secret demonstrations. The mask as a part of the Klan regalia is

gone forever.”

AIR-SEA TEST BELIEVED NEAR

British ‘Presume’ Loss of Submarine; Mine Coast Of Scotland.

By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, April 17.—A crucial

struggle between German air power land British sea power was in the making today off the Norwegian Coast. Large numbers of German airplanes were constantly sighted over southern Norway yesterday on their way to coastal bases to:start efforts to disrupt the line of communication of the Allied Expeditionary Force across the North Sea.

British Bomb Trondheim

A series of British Air Force attacks on Stavanger, a German airplane base on the Norwegian West Coast, had been designed to break up the Germans’ air concentration and destroy their bases. The Air Ministry said today that Royal Air Force planes had bombed the Norwegian port of Trondheim, where there are heavy German troop concentrations. The R. A. F. attack on Trondheim airdrome, the Ministry said, caused a large fire. The attacks, which occurred last night, included one on a German seaplane base in the vicinity of Trondheim.

A momentous test of Adolf Hitler's conception of the effectiveness of air power against British surface command of the sea seemed likely to be fought out in a decisive manner, beginning within a few days. The Germans apparently hope, by constantly harrying British warships and troopships out at sea, to prevent landings of an. expeditionary force in effective numbers. The Admiralty said today that the submarine Thistle was overdue and presumed lost. The Thistle is a 1090-ton submarine, completed in May, 1939,

A 26-year-old Indianapolis Enoch Arden case, involving 11 children, came into Juvenile Court today and Judge Wilfred Bradshaw admitted that legal and social aspects of the matter. have him temporarily undecided. : In 1914, according to the testimony, & young man from Helmsburg was working in Glenns Valley and fell in love with a girl under 18. They eloped to Louisville and were ‘married, but each anticipated 50 much trouble with families that they kept the marriage a secret. She went home and he went back to Helmsburg. He told his father, who was “furious.” The couple wrote each other letters but neither received them. Each one assumed the family of the other had had the marriage annulled. On this assumption, the girl married after a year and bore her new husband two shildren, Sg

time, saved enough money to get to Indianapolis and get a job but was afraid to face the girl’s family. He set about trying to find her. He even provided a home for her, but he learned through a friend that she had married again. It seemed certain then, to him, that his marriage to her had been annulled. In a year or so he married, and he has nine children by his second wife. During all the intervening years neither saw the other, and neither knew where the other lived. A year ago, the man’s father died and in going through some trunks in the attic, the man found all the letters he had written to his first wife and all the letters she had written to him. His father had -intercepted them. A year ago, also, his first wife divorced her second husband and gained custody of her two children,

Writing under date of March 22, Mr, Heinzen says: “The patrol work is done by specialists who are gbrought. up from the rear every night, filter through the advance posts into No Man's Land and raid the French front

“These patrols are generally very young and very ardent Nazis, youths

' Practically no shells have fallen in Strasbourg, although it is within the range of 500 German guns; nor have the French shelled Saarlouis, Saarbruecken, Zwei bruecken, Pirmasens or any of the other towns which lie within easy range.
