He with 100,000 tons of supplies for dispatch to Chunking and then to China’s fighting troops. Chinese mechanics and drivers tuned up their machines to roar across the barrier. The bombs are expected to start bursting along the highway as soon as traffic gets under way. At Hanoi, in French Indo-China, the Japanese promised to start bombing the Chinese part of the road immediately, if weather permits. The new Japanese bases in northern Indo-China facilitate attacks on the long, winding mountain highway. ~ The Japanese began the day with bombing raids on Chungking, Chinese capital. One attack was directed at the eity’s suburbs. Later a larger force of Japanese bombers came over for a general attack.

Japanese Press Has Menacing Tone The Japanese press in Tokyo took a menacing tone. Threats were voiced against British Hongkong which was described as a key base in transport of supplies to China. After a night during which London had virtually no air activity, the Germans returned today and the official news agency in Berlin claimed that towering sheets of blue flame and big smoke clouds followed the bombardment of a district northwest of Waterloo Bridge in the heart of the Capital. . The Nazi pilots veported also that new fires were started north and south of the Royal Albert docks and that “important material damage” was believed inflicted.

= Nazis Claim 3 to 1 Ratio in Losses Nazi sources said that from Oct. 6 to 12, 105 British planes and 32 German planes had been destroyed, giving Germany a 3 to 1 ratio over the R. A. F. The crew losses were 143 for the British and 160 for the Germans, these informants added. The official DNB news agency reported that one British bomber was brought down over the Netherlands last night through “defense methods never used before.” It said a new kind of searchlight was being tried out with an extraordinary powerful beam “vastly exceeding the strength of any beam previously used.” DNB said that British destroyers off the Norwegian coast sank a small German auxiliary vessel. Two British and two German planes were shot down in fights over England yesterday, Nazis said. It was admitted that raids on London, Birmingham and Liverpool were not as intensive as on the previous night, partly because of bad weather. British planes flew in over Germany during the night, without penetrating far beyond the western frontier zone, and other British planes bombed coastal towns in German occupied territory, it was said.

Turkey Expects Russian Support A Royal Air Force communique issued at.Cairo said that British bombing planes had heavily attacked the Italian base at Benghazi, in" Libya, Tuesday, and had hit docks and railroad sidings. German sources insisted that Germany had informed Russia that German troops were going into Rumania. Turkey reported it was convinced of Russian support in event the Germans menaced the Dardanelles. In London Lord Halifax, Foreign Minister, conferred with Ivan Maisky, Soviet Ambassador. Rome admitted that the British had dealt punishing blows to Tobruk, the Libyan base for Marshal Rodolfo Graziani’s Army. Nine barracks, 45 houses and port works were destroyed by British bombers, it was said. In retaliation the Italian air force blasted Marsa, Matruh, Funka, Assaba, Pcrim Island, and Gedarel.. In Vichy, Minister of Agriculture Pierre Caziot used the press.and radio to warn of a whispering campaign aginst the Petain Government and said it was designed to cut French agriculture production. |

Mr. Frank’s car stalled as he attempted to make a left-hand turn and Fred Mohr, St. Louis, was unable to stop his tractor in time to avoid the crash. The injured were taken to City Hospital. John Dora, Sheriff Al Feeney’s safety director, repeated a plea to autoists to exercise caution when driving near school busses. He said that a large percentage of ‘motorists do not know that they are required by law to stop when approaching a halted school bus from the opposite direction.

DYKSTRA TAKES OATH IN CAPITAL AS DRAFT CHIEF

i¥ | Cites Registration Speed as

Proof of Democracy’s Effectiveness.

By UNITED PRESS National Draft Director Clarence A. Dykstra said today that the success In registering more than 16,000,000 men for possible military service demonstrates the “ability of democracy to rise to an occasion of

this sort.” “Those who thought that we were supine and soft and that democracy could not move with effectiveness may be ‘disappointed,” he said at a Washington press conference shortly after he was sworn in to his new post. He praised the ‘almost universal co-operation from the young men of the United States” and the efficiency with which registration machinery had been set up. He added that Lieut. Col. Lewis B. Hershey, acting director betore he took over, had “done a magnificent piece of work.” Draft headquarters meantime estimated that the total registration might run nearly 2 per cent larger than was estimated and would approach a total of 17 millions. About 16,404,000 was the original estimated.

Reports to Roosevelt

Mr. Dykstra said that one of his first tasks would be to speed approval of state appeals boards, which will hear cases of persons who feel they have been unjustly treated by their local boards in matters of classification and deferment. Mr. Dykstra also reported for duty to President Ronsevelt, who issued an executive order giving him power to “appoint necessary members of local boards, local board physicians, Government appsaal agents and members of appeal boards” to hasten the draft program. A few hundred conscientious objections; an occasional arrest; a little grumbling; displays ot patriotism and an exhibition of democratic efficiency was the story ot yesterday's registration.

Objectors Are Problem

Yesterday’s registration was completed on ‘schedule with rare exceptions. One remaining problem was to deal with conscientious objectors who refused to register. Eight divinity students and two Socialists in this category appear before a Federal Grand Jury in New York today, liable to the draft act penalty —five years’ imprisonment and $10,000 fines. Florida's Seminole Indians were another problem. The®tribe, which never has signed a peace treaty with the United States, refused to register its 65 eligible braves even after it -was assured they were not being called to war immediately. Washington has alloted the Seminoles “two or three more days” to come to terms. New York reported most -of the cases they. signed registration cards and were permitted to note their objections after their signature.

Arrest Divinity Students

They had the support of George O. Pershing, nephew of Gen. John J. Pershing, World War Command-er-in-Chief, who announced on registering at olden Bridge, N. Y., that if he is elected to Congress on the American Labor Party ticket on which he is running, he would work for repeal of the Selective Service Law." At Chicago, two divinity students and a housewife were arrested for passing out pamphlets reading: “Don’t register for the draft.” : New York registered 924,884 men without a serious incident. The registration served its purpose in Los Angeles last night when a slain bandit was identified by his conscription card as R. L. Masterson, 22. Two Draftees Killed

Two draftees, George J. Jares, 27, Chicago orchestra leader, and Guido E. Zenk, 24, Sheboygan, Wis., were killed in an airplane crash at Fond du Lac, Wis., soon after they had registered. No men, apparently, were overlooked on “R” Day. Six registration agents last night’ boarded the special train of Republican Presidential Nominee Wendell L. Willkie

at Cincinnati to sign up 37 news-|

paper men and trainmen. The District of Columbia was one of the first areas to announce its registration figures. A total of

m.:|114,341 men registered.

Selective service officials today directed the nation’s 6500 local draft boards to speed preparations for the next big draft step—the national

| lottery to determine .the order in

:which men who registered for=the draft will be called. Time and place of the lottery—except that it will be held in Washington—have not been fixed definitely. Present guesses are that it most likely will come between Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.

Tall and Short, Rich ahd Poor, Fat and Lech, They Waited Their Turns With Sober Mien

By RICHARD LEWIS

There was something in the way men registered for the draft yesterday that made you feel a bit proud to be one of them. There was dignity. It was that way in the precincts in every corner of the City. Big men, little men, rich men, shabby men. They walked quietly up to the registration places with the air of persons prepared to make solemn commitments.

They registered and they didn’t complain. You could see lines of men standing patiently in the bright morning sunlight, in every section of the City. Men on their way to work—men coming off the night shift swinging lunch boxes—men sitting in their cars, standing on the sidewalk with the overcoats open, smoking, talking, reading newspapers. Seeing them there, serious, determined, gave you a bigger lift than a deep breath of the fresh morning air. No Ragged Line

At an East Side school the men were standing in line outside a classroom from which came a soft mumble of voices. Men at the head of the line looked in the room, curiously. A registrant would walk oub carefully putting his card in his wallet, The man at the head of the line would step inside. The men would move up a few steps to close the gap. The line moved with military precision, as though it had all been rehearsed. : There were all kinds of men in that line: A truck driver in uniform, a policeman, an insurance salesman with his brief case tucked under his arm, two men in overalls with their lunch boxes, a carpenter who picked up his tools when the

HURJA CLAIMS POLL PUTS WILLKIE AHEAD

CHICAGO, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—Emil Hurja, executive director of the Democratic National ° Committee from 1932 to 1938 and now editor of Pathfinder magazine, said today that “an idealized cross section poll” of the nation indicated Wendell L. Willkie would be elected President with a 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 plurality. Mr. Hurja said he predicted the 1932-34-36 elections accurately as an assistant to the Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley “although all Jim (Farley) needed was someone to hold his coat for him to hit them on the nose.” Mr. Hurja made his prediction on the basis of a poll taken 10 days ago. Sore amazing thing,” he said, “is the trend to Willkie in the cities as opposed to rural areas. If this trend of the last fortnight continues, Willkie will win by 5,000,000 to 8, 000, 000 rather than by 3,000,000.”

LIESE FACES SLAYING CHARGES TOMORROW

Richard Liese, 22, of 710 Chester St., charged with first and second degree murder, will be arraigned in Criminal Court before Judge Dewey E, Myers tomorrow at 9 a. m. Liese is alleged to have shot and Killed James Eli Hunt, bakery truck driver who was found beside his wrecked truck at 71st St. and Ditch Road on Sept. 15, 1935. Liese who ‘was riding with Hunt that day disappeared until last month when he gave himself up to police. His father. George Liese, is a veteran Indianapolis police

officer.

make American good will more active. From the beginning of the present conflict the Chinese have counted on eventual Japanese entanglement with America and Britain, which would give a decisive advan= tage to China. That situation is nearer to being realized now than at any previous time, symbolized by the Burma Road issue, It would be bad strategy for the Japanese to take impulsive steps at the present time likely to draw America and Great Britain nearer to support of China. The Japanese have the Russian problem on their hands which complicates matters: Russia’s material aid to China and the fact that the Chinese air force is controlled by the Russians are important elements in China’s ability to hold out. The Japanese have tacitly ignored Russia’s help to China because of the delicacy of Russian relations in northern Asia. - Tokyo is now trying to negotiate an amity pact with Moscow. If at the same time the Japanese were to make gestures against America that might cause the United States to retaliate by giving more exten-

sive aid to China, a Russo-Japanese °

Moves

agreement would be less likely to meet Tokyo's desires. The Russians do not want to see Japan bring China to terms, and if Stalin believed American and British assistance to China were to increase in the future he would feel his own position strengthened in the Orient against the Japanese. Such complicatibns as these are well understood in Tokyo. - It is reasonable to expect, therefore, that the Japanese will hold their resentments over the reopening of the Burma Road from getting out of hand. If they did not do so, they would be playing not only China’s game but also Russia's. The Japanese are not prepared for a serious international crisis affecting the Orient. Relations with Russia demand primary considera-

‘tion at Tokyo before Japan can feel

even reasonably free to risk future complications. How to keep Russia permanently aloof if the European war spreads to the Far East is a much more serious issue for Japan than the reopening of the Burma Road. The

solution of that problem must take}

precedence over any new challenge in the Pacific.

line moved and set them down again when it halted. It was no ragged line of conscripts, herded together under threat.” It was like any line of American men you might see anywhere—in front of a theater or football stadium box office.

_ Strangers Chat

Strangers chatted back and forth. There was little kidding. Occasionally, someone would wisecrack. The men would smile. Registration moved slowly for the first hour. The volunteer workers were doubly cautious against mistakes. But by mid-morning the lines were moving faster. There was greater ease about it. It was also more informal. At a West Indianapolis school men were lined up in front of a classroom filled with registrants. No one at the -end of the line left although it was a long line and the room was crowded. From the room, came that characteristic low hum of voices. Volunteers were working at top speed, but there was. no confusion. A registrar in a legion cap came out into the hall to assure the men it wouldn’t take long. Chairs Are Small This was a grade school chairs were small, some of the men who could barely get in them. One big, heavy man kept standing up.

and

too small for

“Why don’t you sit down?” a registrar asked. The big man grinned and made a flattening motion with the palm of his hand at one of the Lilliputian chairs. The registrar smiled and continued his work. The music of children singing floated into the corridor from a classroom of a South Side school. It was a child's song. The men stopped talking and listened until it was over. Business was slow about midmorning at one West Side precinct place. A group of men and women in Legion caps wa ssitting about in the thick of a political argument.

“Can I Register Here?”

A young man in a delivery cap appeared outside. The registrars hurried to their places—the way barbers line up behind a row of empty chairs when the first - customer comes in. The young, man walked right on through. He was making a delivery. The registrars laughed, relaxed and continued their discussion. A car with an out-state license swooped to the curb in front of a fire house on W. New York St. The driver rolled down his window. “Hey, buddy, can I register here?” “You bet,” responded a fireman, pointing inside. “I had a hunch this was a registration place,” the stranger said. “I saw the flag.”

gone to two Ohio cities, Dayton and Columbus, which also have been trying to land the big laboratory, Indianapolis officials believe they have an excellent chance. Mr. Victory already has inspected proposed Indianapolis sites. Rep. Louis Ludlow in Washington tried to find out if the elusive Mr. Victory’s designation was Indianape olis, but couldn’t. Spokesman Doesn’t Know Myron Green, industrial commise sioner of the C. of C. a personal friend of Mr. Victory, telephoned his office in Washington to see if he

man there said he didn’t know. I. J. Dienhart, Municipal Airport superintendent, heard a report that Mr. Victory was coming here. He kept a lookout for a special plane which might be bringing Mr. Vice tory The Stout Field program for the acquisition of five acres adjoining the air base in southwest Indianapolis, the construction of a hangar, administration building, three miles of new concrete runways and ine stallation of radio equipment. The next State Legislature must appropriate $20,000 to acquire the land. For that reason, it is unlikely that the expansion work will be started until early next year. Stout Field at present is the base for the 113th Observation Squad of the 38th Division of the National Guard. : Unit to Go South

That unit will go south early next year for a year’s Federal service so it is believed by the adjutant gene earl’s office here that the Field may be designated as an aviation traine ing base. The new Government orders called for a contract for $300,026 worth of components to the Ewart plant of the Link-Belt Co.
