Supreme War Council session was held in Paris, with the Poles and Norwegians represented for the first time to make decisions, according to an official statement, on effective co-operation of all four powers ' against Germany.

Pla blow and counter-blow struck by the Allied powers and Germany on the Norwegian battlefield seemed to increase the threat that the conflict would spread. to a new front in northern Europe. In Stroemstad, four large German transports escorted by two destroyers were sighted moving north along the Swedish coast. They were believed to be en route to Norway with reinforcements. Several hours later ahout a dozen - warships were spotted far off the coast. These were believed to be British destroyers seeking the Ger- - man transport fleet, and it was believed they had engaged the Germans in battle. :
Gunfire Heard on Coast
Gunfire was heard off the Swedish Coast several times. Concrete forts on the northern side of Svinesund which dominates the entrance to Halden were being rebuilt by the Germans. The fortifications were abandoned in 1905 when a neutral zone was established between Sweden and Norway. On the Danish island of Bjorn‘holm, 25 miles from the Swedish Coast, according to reports circulated by French authorities, Germans have concentrated their troop transports. The same sources asserted that German troops had been concentrated in Norway near the Swedish frontier after many Nazi airplane flights over Sweden.
_ Belgians Increase Guards
In Brussels, the Belgian officials increased their guards around public buildings as a precaution against possible “surprise action,” and Belgian guns fired on foreign aircraft in the Brussels area. In Berlin, the Nazi newspaper Nacht Ausgabe sharply attacked a Swedish newspaper for publishing a report that German fliers had ma-chine-gunned women and children in Norway and warned the Swedish Government that such “atrocity stories will become bitterly serious.”
Control of Railroad Sought
The most important struggle in central Norway was for control of railroad heads on the coast and lines running from the port of Andalsnes, south of Trondheim, to the interior. In this battle—chiefly German air power versus British sea and man power—the Nazi High ‘Command claimed that their forces had— Sunk another British destroyer. Sunk two more Allied tramsport ships and one supply ship. Damaged another British destroyer off Norway. Shot down an airplane and repulsed new British bombing attacks on German bases in Denmark. Advanced 62 miles northeast of Trondheim after throwing back the enemy in that sector. Bombed the Norwegian ports and railroad lines at Namsos and Andalsnes (where the British and French were landing) and carried out extensive bombing raids on other communications centers which the Allied forces might use in Norway, including Dombaas and Grong.
British Make Counter Claims
In London, it was said that the German aerial bombardment of communication lines had failed to interfere seriously withthe Allied landings and that operations .in Norway were proceeding with even greater speed than the British experts had expected. Purthermore, the British Admiralty issued a statement saying that 17 German merchant ships had been sunk or captured in the last , two weeks and the Royal Air Force ' renewed raids on German air bases in -Denmark and Norway, extending their bombardments as far as ) the Oslo sector.

BRITAIN FACES RECORD BUDGET
Nation Will Spend $14,583 Per Minute; Drastic New
Taxes Imposed.
By WEBB MILLER: United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON,. April 23.—Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, | submitted to Commons today the biggest British budget on record— $10,668,000,000—and called on every British citizen for heavy tax sacrifices to finance the huge costs of war. He estimated that the nation would spend some $8,000,000,000 in the fiscal year for the fight against Germany—a sum equal to $14,583 every minute. To meet this cost, he declared the Government will borrow $5,732,000,000. The remainder will be financed by taxes and duties yielding $4,936,000,000, including $404,000,000 of sweeping new imposts. No increase was made in the British income tax rate of 37% per cent —world’s highest basic income levy —but Sir John introduced a new “purchase” tax, roughly the equivalent of the American sales tax. And he imposed substantial tax increases on spirits, beer, matches and tobacco. He raised telephone rates 15 per cent. telegraph rates 25 per cent and boosted postage rates 6622 per cent. But—and this was important to Britain—Sir John rejected proposals that the budget be financed by other than traditional and orthodox means of taxes and borrowings. He declared that the Government proposed to float its huge loans at an interest rate of not more than 3 per cent. Meanwhile, Alfred Duff Cooper, former First Lord of the Admiralty, declared today in an address at the annual banquet of the Royal Society of St. George that the Allies must “defeat in battle” the whole German people as well as the Nazis of Adolf Hitler.

LOGAN-WALTER « SENKTE BATTLE DUE NEXT WEEK
Defeat Tiere of or Roosevelt Veto Would Make Bill Campaign Issue.
By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, April 23.—The Logan-Walter bill, which created a national sensation last Thursday by polling unexpectedly a huge favoring vote in the House, is scheduled for its Senate test early next week. The bill, setting up a. uniform system of court review for the rulings of more than 100 Federal agencies, and embodying years of work
ment by laws rather than by men,” is expected to produce a Senate fight rivaling the House debate in intensity. Its backers assert it will produce
.|also a Senate result surprising to
forecasters of its easy defeat. Part of this*they base on the House landslide in its favor. If the Senate acts as they say it will, President Roosevelt will have to consider approval or veto for a bill which— although he said he had not read it—he condemned in principal.
Possible Campaign Issue
In the background, the Repub|licans wait, ready to make a campaign issue of a legislative proposal generally regarded .as epi-
right and left wings of American politics. the President successfully vetoes the Logan-Walter bill, its principle is sure to show up in the Republican platform at Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y.) charged today that Rear Admiral J. K. Taussig’s prediction of war with Japan is the “most provocative and inflammatory and jdangerous remark made by any naval man in our time.” Admiral Taussig’s remarks, disavowed by Secretary of Navy Charles Edison and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, were made in testimony before the Senate Naval Affairs Committee yesterday during its study of a House-approved bill to boost the Navy's authorized tonnage 11 per cent. Mr. Fish said that Admiral Taussig added “fuel to the flame of war hysteria.”
Slash Funds for CCC
At the same time, the Senate Appropriations Committee today reported a $998,054,670 labor-Federal security appropriation bill after slashing $25,000,000 from the Houseapproved fund for the Civilian Coaservation Corps. The bill was cut $23,585,030 below the House total, but still was $32,066,028 above budget estimates and $24,746,800 over last year's appro- | priation. | The Senate Labor Committee {unanimously approved a national health bill proposing expenditure of $63,000,000 in the next six years for construction and improvement of community hospitals: The bill is sponsored by Senators Robert F. Wagner (D. N. Y.) and Walter F. George ‘(D. Ga.). In the House, the Judiciary Committee discussed the Hatch “clean politics” bill but took no action on it.
Shakespeare's
Birth Noted
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE was born 376 years ago today at Stratford-on-Avon, England, and the Indianapolis Public Library is taking particular note of the occasion. On its shelves are 2079 volumes of Shakespeare's works and books dealing with - them. Shakespeare himself turned out 34 plays, two long poems and 154 sonnets in his lifetime, and the remainder of the volumes deal with those works— practically line by line—and the author’s life and times. In special observance of the anniversary, Central Library has placed on exhibit its highly prized. original second folio of Shakespeare’s plays issued in 1632. It is bound in crimson merocco and is kept in the library's vault, displayed only. on rare occasions. Judge Cyrus C. Hines gave the folio to the Library in 1891.

By NOBLE REED
One day’s work in the life of the Governor of Indiana brings some fun along with a lot of headaches. And the job is more than just wrestling with affairs of state. He has to be the official welcomer, dedicator of - buildings, the first to buy a benefif; ticket, greeter of distinguished visitors, speaker at innumerable banquets and is‘ ex-
pected to be the “Mr. Fixit” for everything that goes wrong in the State of Indiana. Yesterday, which was a sample of one day’s work, found Governor M. Clifford Townsend out of bed at € a. m. to speak before a breakfast meeting of 200 members of the Indianapolis Accident and Health Club at 7:30 a. m.
Awaited at State Hause
Rushing over to the Governor's office he found the heads of five State departments waiting to present new governmental problems that came up over the week-end. However, before he got started on the conferences, some one telephoned, explaining that his grandmother didn’t know her age and he asked the Governor to please’ find her birth record immediately. Another caller insisted that the Governor officiate at te opening of the /fishing séason in Steuben County; officials of a Detroit motor company called long distance and asked that the Governor hop down to Evansville (185 miles) to attend a half-hour luncheon Thursday. “There are about twice as many requests for my. appearance at meetings than I can possibly attend,” the Governor remarked. “If I attended to every request, I wouldn’t get any State business done at all.” Attends Conferences
He said, however, that he always goes to meetings at which things of State-wide interes; are discussed, especially on the subject of safety, health, employment and education. The first conference yesterday was with L. L. Needler, head of the State Purchasing Bureau, His problem involved the question of purchasing for state institutions drugs that were not yet approved by the medical associations. “Public officials are not paid to take any chances,” the Governor cautioned. “They are employed to play safe in everything.” After discussing several other purchasing problems, the Governor remarked that “the State purchasing
job was one of the worst headaches
in governmental work—and it always will be the worst headache for public officials.”
Receives Good News
Don F, Stiver, State Police Superintendent, brought, a bright spot in the Governor's clay by reporting that slot machines had disappeared from the places over the state‘where they were known to be operating. The Governor last week issued a warning that any slot machines found after last Thursday would be confiscated by State Police. “Officers made a tour in their districts Friday and Saturday and found all the machines had disappeared,” Mr. Stiver said. “That’s fine, glad to hear it,” said the Governor. Another event that put the Governor in good spirits was the birth of a colt to his prize mare, Molly, at the Governor's farm in Grant County.
After signing a proclamation, Sefiing aside May 5 to May 11, as
There's Fun and Headaches In Running State of Indiana
Music Appreciation Week in Indiana, the Governor plunged into utility rate problems with. Ralph Hanna, public counsellor with the Public Service Commission. The Governor asked Mr. Hanna to investigate .tendencies toward telephone toll rate discriminations in calls across state lines. : Next the Governor advised Adj. Gen. Elmer F. Straub to arrange an open house in National Guard armories to impress upon employers of guardsmen the necessity of letting the men off their jobs for three weeks in August to attend the annual training period. A secretary came in with a large pile of papers to sign. They were extradition papers, permitting police from other states to take a prisoner out of Indians. = Pupils’ Pay a Call “The one thing I have to watch on these extraditions is that the Governor’s office is‘'not used as a debt collecting agency by creditors in other.states,” he said. “Often people try to force In-
diana citizens out of the state in|:
order to collect old debts when they get them. across the state line.” Before the Governor finished all conferences, a secretary announced
| that 30 school pupils from: the Gov-
ernor's home township in Grant County were waiting outside to see him. The Governor was about as excited over the callers as they were to see him. Mr. Townsend - took’ them all to the Washington Hotel for luncheon, bought them all horns. and souvenirs and they had a gay time. They were pupils from: the school where Mr. Townsend was once a teacher. The Governor plays host to them every year. After the pypils left, the Governor plunged back into affairs of state with more telephone calls: to appear for banquets and from unemployed people who wanted: him to get them jobs. He didn’t get to bed ast night until about 12 o’clock because he had to give a talk over the radio,

who sell the tickets furnish us with a statement at the end of year for income tax payments.” “You know that baseball ticket selling is a violation of the law?” “Well—yes; it’s supposed to be.” Judge Goett turned around in his chair and said: - “We have a Deputy Prosecutor in the room. Mr. Kelley (John Kelley) will you subpena Mr. Drook to the Grand Jury in the morning and take a statement now?” After the statement Iwas taken, Judge Goett and Mr. Kelley went into the "judge's private chamber and called Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey. In 10 minutes, a detective in overalls was dispatched io the poolroom to “buy” a ticket. A few seconds
later Carl Wenz of 552 E. 10th St.,|
employed at the poolroom, was under arrest on charges of keeping a room for pool selling, operating a gift enterprise and lottery and vagrancy. So today Mr. Drook was to face Judge Goett again on the $2500 judgment matter and the Grand Jury on the baseball ticket matter, while Mr. Wenz was scheduled to come before another judge in Municipal Court 3.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer There are two Democrats who could carry Indiana if the Presidential race were run today— Franklin D. Roosevelt and Paul V. McNutt. This conclusion is based on off the record admissions made by numerous Hoosier Republicans, most of whom do not want any ‘part of either one on the Democratic national ticket. : They figure that President Roosevelt is “30 per cent more popular than his party” in this state and that Indiana pride in a favorite son would ' put Mr. McNutt over with a whoop. The dream ticket of the Indiana Democrats is F. D. R. for President and former Governor McNutt for Vice President. They figure that such a slate would sweep into office Senator Sherman Minton and whoever the party rames for Governor.

New Flood Threat Grips Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, O., April 23 (U. P.).—The threat of showers today and tomorrow brought new fear to the Ohio River Valley, still in the grip of floods that fell just short of disaster proportions. Any sustained rainfall this week might send the Ohio and smaller streams to higher flood levels. and cause heavy property damage and suspension of trade. "Business was halted in the lower Cincinnati produce district’ today as the Ohio crept toward a predicted crest of 60 feet—eight feet above flood stage. The riyer had reached 58.22 feet this morning. Mrs. Amelia McClure, chairman of the executive committee of the Red Cross in Cincinnati, said 500 families were in the flood’s path and

Five-sixths of

that there should be a delay until “a microphone can be installed so that those in the audience can hear what was taking place.” Wetter Commends Board Speaking on the order which the Board originally had. intended to discuss in its entirety today, Mr. Wetter said: “I have been one of the Board’s harshest critics, but I believe after
the Board is finally trying to arrive at what. the consumers need. 1 commend you.” C.

Since installation of the present milk marketing regulations under the Board in July, 1935, there have been repeated protests and remonstrances of its results. Changes Are Expected Perhaps the largest protest hearing to appear before the Control Board in the past five years was that held six months ago at which time accusations of “monopoly” and “trust” were voiced. Today's meeting came partially as a result of that hearing and it was believed that drastic changes might ! have been made through a Board order to be, issued following. the meeting, Widespread opposition has developed recently to the present price range enforced under the wholesale market control program.
