and Hongkong, which 1s practically surrounded by Japanese-
occupied territory. 5. An announcement by
Navy Secretary Frank Knox
that he did “not concur” in published "reports that the United States would be at war with Japan Oct. 17, the scheduled date for Britain’s reopening of the Burma Road.
The Secretary saia there had
been no decision to withdraw
the 1600 U. S. Marines in China and that present fleet plans
had not been changed. The Secretary also revealed that 4200 recruits will be assembled on the Pacific Coast to accompany the first fleet contingent back to Hawaii. In Berlin, diplomatic sources reported that a plea for mutual understanding between Soviet Russia and Japan was voiced by retiring Japanese Ambassador Shigenori Togo at Moscow. With Soviet Premier Viacheslav Molotov as a guest at a farewell luncheon, Togo said that “other powers” would be highly pleased by war between the Soviets and Japan and that Japan does not desire a war with any nation.
Russia Is Axis Problem
In addition to the aerial war the Axis powers were busy building up their threat of a climactic offensive to destroy the British Empire mn line with decisions taken by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. and their Brenner Pass meeting. In the Far East the Chinese Government added to the possibility of a new crisis by promising to fight on relentlessly against Japan. In Vichy, France, it was disclosed that British naval forces have cut maritime communications between South ‘Africa and the great French colony of Madagascar and have seized the French freighter Esperance, bound for Djibouti with food supplies. In the Balkans, the movement of German troops into Rumania for the purpose of training the Rumanian Army in new methods of war was followed by the sudden appearance of Mussolini on a tour of inspection in the Gorizia district on
the Jugoslavia frontier.
Japanese Cool Off on Burma Road
* The Jugoslavs, with the Germans in Rumania and the Italians in Albania, recently have been concerned over possibility that the next Axis military move might be in the direction of the Balkans, especially in view of Italy’s propaganda campaign against Greece and a widespread belief that Germany would Jike to get an opening in the Near East (through or near Turkey) for a westward attack on the
Suez Canal.
The Axis Powers, however, must consider Soviet Russia’s interest in Turkey, Bulgaria and the Dardanelle Strait and there recently has been no untoward gesture from either Rome or Berlin toward Jugoslavia. In North Africa, there was a possible indication that the promised Axis offensive or: “all fronts” might be feeling
out the British defenses.
Italian infantry advance units
were active again on the Egyptian front, where the Fascists penetrated 75 miles into Egypt three weeks ago but then halted their offensive toward Suez. At Chungking, Gen. Chiang Kai-shek told the nation that new foreign aid would permit China to fight on and that Japan's new order never would be accepted. There] was a sudden cessation of talk in the Tokyo press about the possibility of war with Britain as a result of reopening ot the Burma Road, which the Japanese said was not very im-
portant after all.
GARAGE OWNER LINKS LUX TO DAMAGED CAR
Tells Jury That Youth Said He ‘Was in an Accident; Expert Testifies.
(Continued from Page One)
“That dent looked like the paint had been scraped off,” he said. Testimony showed there were dents in the right front fender, the front of the right rear fender and the top of the right side of .the hood. The right headlamp had been pushed back and was “unrepair able,” according to Mr. Fall. A statement purportedly made by Lux was read to the jury by Mr. Kelley over defense objections. Charging Lux’s arrest was illegal, the defense moved to suppress the evidence but was overruled by Judge Dewey E. Myers as testimony began yesterday. Mr. Brinkman, the State’s first witness, told the jury that his date with Miss Dawson began that evening as they ate ice cream cones and continued with an auto ride. “We ran out of gasoline on Rawls Ave. just west of the Post Road,” he went on, “and Betty Jane and I walked to the Post Road and then north to where I knew there was a gasoline station on the corner of Washington St.
On Berm Along Road
“We were on the shoulder, on the east side of the road and :Betty was between me and the fence along the road. A car passed us coming the other way. I saw headlights coming from behind and I turned around to the right. “A car was crowding off the road. The next thing I remember was flagging for help. I was about 50 or 60 feet from where we were hit.” Earl Bales of Muncie, who had been driving along the Post Road, continued the story of that night, saying he picked up Mr. Brinkman and Miss Dawson’s “inert form.” He took them to' the City Police station, he said. “1 don’t know if the girl was dead,” he continued, “but I could tell she was hurt very badly. She wasn’t moaning and I couldn't feel any pulse. } 3 Shoe Is Introduced “We put her in the back and young Brinkman held her head in his lap on the way to the police station.” As Sheriff Al Feeney took the stand a shoe he said he found at the scene of the accident was introduced as an exhibit. It was identified as Miss Dawson's. Defense Attorney Russell Dean's objection to its admission was overruled. Sheriff Feeney testified he had found car tracks at the scene of the accident “starting 50 feet south of the point of impact going as much as four feet off the road on the east side and continuing to a point about six feet north of the point.” Mr. Lux’s purported statement was read to the jury by Mr. Kelley. In it Lux is alleged to have said he was playing horseshoes with his brothers and uncle June 5 at Shelbyville and started back to Indianapolis about 11:15 p. in. He said he turned north on the Post Road, passed U.S. 52, and felt himself getting sleepy. Then, the purported statement said, he fell asleep and felt an impact which awakened him. “If I had known what I hit, I would have stopped,” the purported statement went on. “I read about
‘the accident the next morning and
kept wondering if I should go to the Sheriff’s office and kept hoping they would find someone else who had done it.”

BALLOT CLOSED T0 COMMUNISTS
G. 0. P.. Member of County Board Opposes Action, Raps State Ban.
The Marion County Election Board today voted 2 to 1 to bar the Communist Party from a place on the County election ballot. Similar action was taken by the State Election Board yesterday.
Communist Party leaders said they would take “immediate legal action to force the names of their candidates on the ballot.” Robert S. Smith, the Republican member of the County board, voted against the action. “Young lady, I want you to know I hate what you represent and have no use for your party,” Mr. Smith told Miss Imogene Poston, Communist candidate for State Representative. “But I think as long as you have made an affidavit that your party does not, advocate the overthrow of the Government, and that there are people in the state. who want to vote for you, I think your ticket should be placed on the ballot.
Terms It “Witch Burning”
“I think the decision of the State Board is nothing but a piece of ‘witch-burning’ sponsored by a bunch of fools.” County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger, board chairman, said the Democratic majority on the board arbitrarily followed the ruling of the State Board in order to give the party time to appeal to the courts. Miss Poston, 1564 Park Ave. is the only person. affected by the ruling. She appeared before the board, accompanied by Miss Mabel Mitchell of the same address, the party’s candidate fory Presidential elector. Miss Poston protested the decision and said some court action would be instituted immediately. The petition bore 1602 names. Only 970 were required.
Bart Protests State Action
Meanwhile, Philip Bart, state secretary of the Communist Party, denounced the State Board's action. He said in a statement: “We have conformed with the election laws of our state. In a brief submitted to the Board, we showed conclusively that the Communist Party does not advocate force or violence. , . . “We consider the decision a part of a national repressive drive launched against the Communist Party and if permitted to continue endanger the fundamental
We are instituting immediately legal action to reverse this undemocratic decision which is out of harmony with the Federal and State Constitutfons.”
800 COMBAT PLANES BUILT EACH MONTH
SCOTT FIELD, I, Oct. 9 (U. P.).—Maj, Gen, Henry H. Arnold, chief of the U. S. Army air corps,
building 800 combat planes a month and that personnel training was far ahead of aircraft delivery. Within one year, he said, the Army air corps will be graduating

most a certainty. How to guard against this stroke must occupy Japan’s attention before Tokyo risks adding a second war to the present conflict in China. Whether, indeed, there can be.any
real assuranée of Russia's future action satisfactory to the Japanese is questionable. Nevertheless, it would seem that strategic preparations for a Pacific war require efforts in that direction before Japan puts her future to the test. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that delay in permitting ‘a crisis to come is desired in Tokyo. The longer the delay, the more possibility exists that sober judgment in the end will prevent a challenge to war in the Pacific being delivered at the behest of Hitler and Mussolini. There is, too, a problem in strategy facing the United States. An essential doctrine .of international policy is to concentrate major attention on the principal objective and not to allow strength to be dissipated by minor objectives. The United States cesires above all else to see the totalitarian threat to the ‘Western Hemisphore overcome. The defeat of absolutism in Europe is believed in America to be essential from the standpoint of America’s self-interest. That is the major element in the world situation as far as the United States is concerned, and is the primary rea=

liquor on her breath and-rasked a person standing nearby to call po-
| lice headquarters for the wrecker to
tow the car to the police garage. When the wrecker arrived, Sergt.
Hill said, Mrs. Miller refused to get out of her car. He testified that after trying to bring her out by taking hold of her arm, he and two other officers brought her out feet first and carried her 50 feet to the police squad car. Asked to explain her version of what happened, Mrs. Miller said: “I didn't want to come out of the car and I wasn’t going to. I wasn’t drunk.” She said “the officers pulled her out and afterward she found four large bruises on her arm. Her husband, Don Miller, testified he talked to her on the phone after she was brought to police headquarters and that she wasn’t drunk. He said that he later saw the bruises on her arm. Judge - McNelis then made his statement: : “The charge I am interested in is this one of resisting or interfering with an officer. It seems strictly out of line in this case. In the first place, there should be no such law on the statutes for the reason that a police officer has two requirements—that he be courteous and that he be courageous. « “In every. situation such as this one he should do his duty as best he could but he should never allow himself to become as rough as the officer did in this case.” Turning to Sergt. Hill, he con-
| tinued:
“You carry a gun and a club. Very seldom does anyone attempt to get nasty with an officer. I believe there was a slight bit of cowardice here. And if I were an officer I would never charge anyone with this offense. “I have received letters and verbal complaints from persons who have been arrested on this charge. I don’t believe it should be used against either man or woman. “What this officer should have
done was to have pulled the keys)
out of the automobile and called for a police woman. I might say that
judges all over the United States|
hold as I do.” Again addressing the officer, he said: “The court does not approve of
your act of pulling the defendant?
out of an auto when she did not get out at your request. I believe 99 per cent of the people think as I do. “You were not courteous and you were not courageous. Such conduct is not warranted. Don’t you think you went too far?”

This is because many new workers coming into the city gr those who have been here and without employment have mot yet. been back on the job long encugh to accumulate down payments to buy. Building men said the general theory is that®Indianapolis, was inadequately housed, that building started to increase in 1938, spurred up by FHA finanacing and has been stepped up this year “just because this town is growing.”

son for aid now being given to Great Britain, To he diverted from increased help to the British by events in the Orient would not be good strategy. Germany and Italy are anxious to distract American interest from Europe to the Far East and are trying to use Japan as their instrument for that purpose. If Japan, under the impression that totalitarianism will win the war
United States, action, of course, will have to be taken. Preparations for such a fragic mistake by the Japanese must be made. But it would be playing Hitler’s and Mussolini's game not to allow the Japanese some acceptable way out of the impasse if Tokyo gives signs of reconsidering its position. In any event, the future balance of power in the Orient will be decided by the outcome of the war in Europe rather than by a war in the Pacific. If Germany and Italy are defeated, the Far Eastern situation will be readjusted in accordance with the character of that result. In the next 12 months the combined increase of American and British naval power will be such that the whole complexion of world affairs may well be changed. Prolongation of the European war, with a non-provocative policy in the Orient, until this augmentation of sea strength materializes, would seem at present to promise best Yesults in the end.
“No, your honor, I don’t believe I did,” Sergt. Hill answered. “I did not know she was bruised, but she was under arrest and in our custody at the time we took her out of the auto.” The judge gathered up the various colored affidavits, slapped them on the glass-topped bench and announced the court would take the case under advisement until Nov. 8. Chief Morrissey left the bench and was joined by Sergt. Hill outside the court room. Asked by reporters for a. statement, Chief Morrissey said: “I think he (Sergt. Hill) acted perfectly as an officer should have acted.”
$100,000 GOODRICH FUND GIVEN COLLEGE
Wabash College is the beneficiary of a $100,000 trust fund left by the late James P. Goodrich, former Indiana governor. O. P. Welborn, Indianapolis, sec-retary-treasurer of the Wabash College Board of Trustees, announced that the trust fund was established last summer by Mr. Goodrich. The fund was given in memory of Dr. Geprge Lewis Mackintosh, sixth president of the College who resigned in 1926, and is to be used for needy college students of high academic standing. The last fund. brought to more than $380,000 the total amount of gifts ‘to. the college made by the former Governor. There were in addition to these gifts many anony-

oARNER ON WAY
BACK TO TEXAS
Uvalde Calls After 13 Days; House Decides Against Recess This Week.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— Vice President John N. Garner was on his way back to Texas again . today, apparently believing that this session of Congress has finished its - work. It is the second time Mr. Garner has gone back to his chicken and
|pecan ranch since the Democratic
National Convention in July. He was here only 13 days this time. He left for his Uvalde, Tex., home
last night and declined to say
whether he plans to return later. Since returning last month he has been trying to get his colleagues to
recess or adjourn.
No Recess This Week
Contrary ¢to Mr. Garner’s view, House leaders today abandoned efforts for a recess this week. Speaker Sam Rayburn would only say that the decision had been reached for “sufficient reasons,” but would not explain further. Senate and House conferees failed to reach an agreement on the controversial Ramspeck civii service bill and it was put aside indefinitely. The bill would have authorized thie President to blanket approximately 200,000 Federal employees into civil service.
G. O. P. Holds Back
The Senate. begins a series of three-day recesses today or tomorrow under a gentleman’s agreement that no important legislation will be brought up. It will meet only for “token’” sessions twice a week to comply with the Constitution. Senators are willing to recess until after the election, but such a move is being blocked in the House by Republicans. Administration leaders contend: that there is no reason why Congress can’t quit until the end of next month. The last vital defense bill—a $150,000,000 defense housing
