Inventor Offers U.S. Six-Ton T. ank Which Gon Be Carried by Plane to Any Battlefield
be UCE CATTON I° - By BN Special Writer: ' WASHINGTON, June 22—A sensational new type of flying tank “worse than anything the Germans ever dreamed of” has been perfected e by Walter Christie, dean of the * tank-inventing fraternity, and is currently being offered to the United States Government.
Within a few ¥ days, Mr. Christie is to meet ‘with President Roosevelt and e high defense a nd Congressional officials to show what this new imple-, ment of supermechanized warfare can do. According to the inventor, the device is a tank of the familiar caterpillaro tread type, so designed that it

“This is the only possible thing that could help end the war,” said “A machine of this kind would do away with the bombing of open cities and innocent people. With this you could attack the army direct and make it come out and fight.” Mr. Chtistie’s past experiences with the U. S. Army have made him wary. He says: «All I want the Army authorities to do is say: Give him the money and let’s see what sort of machine he can turn out. I won't let them change a thing on it. If they try to I'll walk out. I won't let them tinker with it. “I don’t want money for this. All T want is my expenses in turning it out.

seven persons, following new raids by German airplanes on the British Isles, especially the east coast. The French reported officially that Italian troops had failed in local attacks on the French alpine frontier area and that German advance elements, including mechanized
units, had been repulsed 38
miles south of Lyon in -the
Rhone Valley and that fighting continued south of the
Loire River. French troops were still holding out in the|
~ Maginot Line area near Switzerland. . The German High Command said that the French ports of St. Malo and Lorient had been taken and that more than 200,000 prisoners were captured in the last few days, but for the most part the German advance had slowed down in
order to consolidate positions.
Italians Strike Back at Egypt In North Africa, Alexandria was bombed slightly and Cairo had an air raid alarm as the Italians struck back at Egypt, where the British air forces bombing Libya have been based. The British said two Italian warships were
bombed at Tobrouk.
On the frontier of British Kenya and Italian Ethiopia, in East Africa, the British said they had completely destroyed the Ialian military post of El Wak although they were later forced to retire due to an Italian counter-attack. Attack on Britain Near, Italy Warns In Rome, the semi-official weekly Relazioni Interna_zionali said today that “the fatal hour for the British Isles js about to strike” and that “England will be totally occupied and the British Empire cut into pieces.” In London, British authorities refused to permit Amer- % ican correspondents to comment on reports from Washington, published by the New York Herald Tribune, that the French fleet had escaped virtually intact and had been taken
over by the British fleet.
A peril arose to British territory in Hongkong. Japanese troops landed at the mouth of the Canton River and “com-
menced military operations” reported. A Japanese plane
north of Hongkong, it was bombed Shumchun, on the
border of Hongkong and Chinese territory, killing one and
wounding three persons.
Japanese operations around Hongkong were interpreted as a warning to the British to stop aiding the Chinese with materials shipped through Burma. There were new flare-ups in both the Baltic and Balkan
areas. Pro-Russian workers
and Socialists took over the
government of Esthonia in a bloodless uprising; there were pro-Russian demonstrations in Riga, Latvia, and pressure was reported being put on the Lithuanian government by
left-wing radicals. In Rumania, King Carol,
reportedly influenced by the
defeat of France, Italy’s entrance into the war and Russia's sharper interest in the Balkans, reorganized his governmens along more strict totalitarian lines. He formed the national union party, with himself as supreme leader. Jews were barred and pro-Nazi Iron Guardists admitted to it. A provision of the new code forbade Jews to own any part of any private businesses.
Today’ s War
: United Press : Establishment of a left wing proRussian government in Esthonia and movements to create Communist gdministrations in Latvia and Lithugnia show an emergence of Ta which may have serious implications for prostrate France. It has long been a popular theory that Stalin, has hoped- for ‘such post - war disorganization in Europe as would provide a fertile field for the extension of communism from the Baltic to the Atlantic. The Baltic is now starting to go red. Soon after the outbreak of war France began an intensive drive against Communists. Arrests were widespread and included many Communist members of the French Parliament suspected of being pacifists and working in the interest of Russia. The French anti-Communist action was ruthless, making little distinction between the sexes.
Reds Find an Opening
An even stronger anti-Soviet government than the . ministry that initiated the drive against French . Communists is now in power. at Bordeaux negotiating for France's military surrender. Marshal Petain, an ultra-conservative, is known to have decided views against Soviet- ° jsm. The French military collapse marks the defeat in the field of battle of the anti-Communists, -giving Russian propagandists an opening to stimulate a .revival of com- - munism among the disillusioned and suffering French working classes. Russia is in a position to bring some pressure on Germany to permit the release of the incarcerted French Communist. jeaders. At the same time the Petain ministry

easily to a new French revolution. Two months after the armistice was signed in the Franco-Prussian war the Commune revolution broke out in Paris, seeking to create a workers’ republic.
Annual Ceremony Held
An- annual memorial ceremony has been held in recent years by international Communists under Russian direction at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, when the last of the Commune leaders were stood
aaginst the cemetery wall and shot.
There was then no Stalin to give a stimulus to the original Communists, and their attempted coup d’etat failed. Now, however, with France once more at Germany’s mercy, the Germans have an alliance with Russia which allowed Hitler to throw the whole weight of his fighting force against the numerically weaker French armies. To hold Russian
friendship has special importance|-
for Hitler at present while he is contemplating a blitzkrieg against the British Empire. There have been recent reports that Russian
feelings toward Germany are waver- |
ing through disquietude over the
possibilities of German domination |
of Europe. Hitler’s Position Difficult
Germany, therefore, is likely to face a difficult situation if Russian pressure is brought to bear to help the Communists in France. However much Hitler may profess open friendship with Russia, the estab-
lishment of a Communist govern-
ment in France would place Germany in a hard position. It could well be preliminary to a
future war following rejuvenation of |
France and the formation of a new Franco-Russian military alliance based on identity of Communist interests. At very least, it would give Germany a new major problem to

BOMBAY, India, June 22 (U. P.).—Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, spiritual leader of millions of Indians and advocate of Indian independence, today congratulated French statesmen for their “rare courage” in suing for peace. “Let me hope that Hitler will impose no humiliating terms but show that although he can fight without mercy, he can at least eonclude peace not without mercy,” Gandhi said.

for Indiana,” Rep. Schulte declared. “Governor Townsend has agreed to permit the use of the cattle barns and mechanics building at the State Fair Greunds for those mechanic training courses.
“The courses will be for six months, with an additional advance course for another six months, and each class will enroll 1000.” Rep. Schulte displayed a of the setup of the plan. Under it the six months’ course calls for 1248 hours of training on an eight-hour a six days per week basis. Sixteen subjects are covered as follows: Shop mathematics, mechanical drafting and blueprint reading, corps fundamentals, elements of metal work, elements of electricity, army drill, aircraft structures, airplane hydraulic systems, airplane propellers, airplane instruments, airplane engines, airplane electric systems, engine induction fuel and oil systems, engine operation and care, engine change and improvements, airplane: inspection and maintenance.

He told police that although he had threatened to kill the little girl, he did not intend to pull the trigger and meant only to scare her.

regular heavy duty Boeings would do the trick. The tank with its guns, ammunition and equipment weighs six tons. Any plane that will lift that weight will do.” One reason Mr. Christie distrusts the Army is his experience with an amphibian tank 15 years ago. He built one to Army specifica~tions and held a public test of it, in which the tank traveled some miles along one bank of the Hudson River, climbed a steep bank, swam the river, come out on the far side, turned around, swam back again and trundled off to its starting point. The Army then lost interest. Mr. Christie finally sold it to the Japanese. He recalls that the German papers displayed great interest in the invention at the time, and he suspects it was this that started him on the research which produced
the amphibian tanks that have fig-
ured in the present war.
HOUSE SPEEDS DEFENSE BILLS; REGESS CERTAIN
| Supplemental ‘ Defense and
Tax Measures Are Advanced.
WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. P). —Congress today sped its defense program nearer completion as it prepared to recess this afternoon for the duration of the Republican National Convention next week. Working with adjournment rapidity, the House approved the conference reports on the $1,479,777,147 Supplemental Defense Bill which provides additional funds for Army and Navy Expansion andthe $1,007,000,000 Defense Tax Bill. The reports were sent to the Senate. House Democratic leader Sam Rayburn announced that he would move for a recess at the end of the session this afternoon. Both chambers met an hour early in an unusual Saturday session to expedite action on all necessary defense and appropriation bills. Provides Army Increase The Supplemental Defense Bill ‘provides for an increase in the Army’s authorized strength to 375,000 enlisted men, 3000 more planes for the Army, and funds for starting construction of 68 new warships. Approval of the measure came as the Administration prepared to ask Congress soon for a $1,000,000,000 authorization for new factories and additional facilities in existing ones to manufacture vital war supplies. Five other major measures awaiting final approval are: A conference report on the $1i,158,000,000 Relief Appropriation Bill carrying $50,000,000 for Red Cross relief work in: Europe. The $4,000,000,000 Naval Expansion Bill authorizing a 70 per cent increase in the fleet. The $1,100,000,000 Labor-Security Appropriation Bill conference report, Deficiency Bill Ready The $65,000,000 Second Deficiency Bill awaiting action in the House. A House bill designed to expedite the naval expansion program and block sale of essential war equipment to Great Britain. Democratic isolationists and 'Republicans promised to force a fulldress debate in the Senate over President Roosevelt's foreign policy when the surprise Republican appointments to his Cabinet come up for confirmation. They admitted privately, successfully stalling Senate action on them for probably a week, that there was no chance of preventing Senate confirmation of Henry L. Stimson as Secretary of War and Frank Knox as Secretary of the Navy. Hearings Scheduled The Senate Naval Affairs Committee announced today that Col. Knox would be invited to testify at open hearings on his nomination as Secretary of the Navy in President Roosevelt’s bipartisan cabinet. The isolationists and Republicans intended to make as much capital as possible over the circumstances preceding the appointments, including the sudden resignation of Harry H. Woodring from the War Department post. Mr. Woodring may even be called to testify about his resignation.

SIEGE MATTER OF DAYS NOW, FIRES WARNED
Retailers Urged to Lay in as Much Foodstuffs asIs Possible.
DUBLIN, June 22 (U. P.).—Sean Lemass, Minister of Supply, said today that it was “possibly only a matter of days or weeks before war will be raging around our shores.” He urged retailers and consumers to lay in as much foodstuffs, coal and other essentials as possible. Broadcasting to the nation, Lemass said the “attack on Britain now appears a certainty that would considerably affect supplies coming to Ireland.” “It might mean that this country would be entirely cut off from outside communications.” He assured the nation that enough food was stored to withstand six months of complete blockade and credit facilities had been arranged for retailers and indus-
trialists so they could stock up on foodstuffs and raw materials.
Windsors Now on Way to Madrid
BARCELONA, Spain, June 22 (U. P.).—The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, refugees from France, left Barcelona for Madrid by way of Tarragona today. It was said that they would dine at Tarrgona and spend the night at Zaragoza. Their plans after arrival in Madrid were not known. \

Dispatch of an armed force outside the Western Hemisphere was opposed unanimously by a group that loudly rejected an attempt to make the resolution real “unless necessary for protection of our national linterests.” Immediate establishment of an adequate national defense = and elimination of excess profits to in dustry, agriculture and labor due to defense production were urged in other resolutions. |
BRITONS HAND NAZIS ‘DOSE OF OWNMEDICINE
So Low Explosions ‘Felt Like Kicks From Horse,’ Says One Pilot.
By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, June 22:—The air ministry said today that! British aerial bombardment of the Germanoccupied . Willemsoord base in Holland had resulted in the sinking of two ships, the firing of another ship and an oil depot and the destruction of naval storehouses. The British aviators, the ministry said, also gave German machine gunners “a dose of their-own medicine.” The statement said that a squadron of coastal command Hudson planes dropped almost five tons of incendiary bombs in less than two minutes as they flew low over the town and surprised the defenders by bombing from about 500 feet. “The explosions felt like a series of kicks from a horse because we were so low,” one pilot said. “A ‘machine-gun post was firing on us so I gave it a pasting with my gun and saw Germans leap over the sandbags and run,” one pilot said. “I saw two fall and lie still.”
England Bombed Again
The planes also attacked airattacked airdromes, docks and barges in the area and fought off an attack by Messerschmitt 109 planes. Qne British and one German plane were downed. German planes bombed southeastern, eastern and northeastern England earlier today. A fire was started in an eastern county and a man, his wife and their servant were killed in Suffolk County when a bomb struck their house while they sought refuge in the garden. Windows over a threemile area were shattered by heavy bombs which struck in a timber yard in an eastern area.
Radio Stations Shut Down The British Broadcasting Co. shut down for about 15 minutes starting at 10:45 o'clock last night. It was explained that the interruption was in the interests of national security. (Airplanes sometimes use broadcasting station beams as guides.) Soon afterward there was an air raid alarm in eastern England, and the alarm spread over a great area. There were heavy bomb explosions and anti-aircraft guns fired furiously. Emphasis on various reports that houses were shaken was taken to mean that the Germans were using unusually heavy bombs. For the first time, the Germans used their terror tactics, dropping bombs equipped with wailing or Srenig devices, causing a terrific n.
Two Warships Taken,
Germany Insists
BERLIN, June 22 (U. P.).— Authorized sources said today that the incompleted 35,000-ton French battleships Richelieu and Clemenceau had fallen into German hands undamaged when the great French naval base at Brest was captured this week. The capture of the two great warships was first reported by the newsaper Der Angriff yesterday. It said: the Germans found the two ships still in their stocks. Asked about reports that the French fleet had been taken over intact by the British, the spokesman said, “It is highly possible that isolated units will make their way to England.” He refused to say what effect the taking over of the French fleet hy the British would
have on the armistice ‘“negotiations.”
