NATIONAL GUARD SEEKS RECRUITS

Five Branches of Service Open After Purge and Increase in Ranks.

The Indiana National Guard opened its ranks today for the en-

equal importance in guiding night-flying bomber and fighter pilots back to their camou-

flaged bases.

This is the word of Joseph Hromada, director of the Civil Aeronautics Authority radio experimental station at the Municipal Airport. Mr. Hromada, who installed the original Indianapolis-CAA system: at the airport here . . . the model for 10 others to be installed at air- - ports throughout the country—said 2. emphasis is ‘be=

Belligerents in the European war periodically shift the location of their flying fields as a defense against attack.

Nazis Use Blind System

A portable instrument landing system could be moved with the flying field and turned on at will to guide home-coming pilots. The Nazis are using a blind landing system for their military fields, Mr. Hromada said, but the system is not being used to actually bring the planes to the ground, as it could, but only as “localizers” to help the pilot in his “aim” for the e

For Three-Year Period

‘Enlistments will be for a threeyear period. It was pointed out by Col. Axtell that new Guard recruits would be certain to train with other guardsmen from Indianapolis. Under the Selective Service system, recruits will be used to fill up ranks in Guard divisions as they are needed, without regard to preference of location or branch of service of the recruit. Col. Axtell stated that interested young men could visit the Armory and see the various units in training as.an aid to determine preference of organization.

PLASTIC ARMOR FOR SOLDIERS SUGGESTED

LONDON, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—Soldiers wearing shrapnel-proof armor made from compressed fiber, paper or other light plastic materials, may be part of Britain’s army, if suggestions made by Dr. Kenneth Walker, a London surgeon, are adopted. Dr, Walker produced samples of light-weight “armor” materials, half the weight of aluminum, which he said would prevent shrapnel wounds. It would be simple, he said, to make a two-ounce shield to be worn in the pocket as a partial protection.

Although the Indianapolis blind landing system can bring planes in contact with- the runway when the pilot is unable to see out, it is believed that it may be some time before passenger airliners and military craft will use the system for other than a “localizer.” Contracts for construction of 10 additional blind landings systems, modeled after the CAA-approved Indianapolis equipment; have been . let. Airports at scattered parts of the country will receive the equipment for service-testing by airline pilots. At present, there is only one portable system being tested by the Army and Navy, but Mr. Hromada predicts that before long instrument landing will see its greatest devel opment.

PROTEST ON TAYLOR 0, KD BY LUTHERANS

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 17 (U. P.) — The 12th biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church of America adjourned after unanimously approving action of the church’s president, Dr. FP, H. Knuble, New York, in protesting President Roosevelt's appointment of Myron Taylor as an emissary to the Vatican.

Dr. Knuble has said the action was “un-American and unneces~ sary, that it tends to disrupt American unity and is a’cause of suspicion that political influences” might be involved. Before adjournment yesterday, 70 members of the central Pennsylvahia Synod, led by their president, Dr. M. R. Hamsher, were allowed to dissent from one section of the articles of agreement drawn up earlier looking toward an. organic union with the American Lutheran Church. The bone of contention was the statement that the Bible is “errorless.” . Dr. H. H. Bagger, Pittsburgh; Dr, Paul Krause, Ft. Wayne, Ind., and E. Clarence Miller, national trease urer, who had signed the report, also were allowed to state in the

minutes that they now dissent from implications in the article of infallie bility of the Bible.
