He asserted that “under |the New Deal the farmer is no bet[ter off than he was four years ago.” The candidate’s voice was extremely husky a# he again took a
COURT AGGEPTS GAS LEASE GASE
Highest Bench to Review Entire Record, Attorneys Here Report.
The United States Supreme Court today agreed to review the Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling in binding the City-owned Citizens Gas & Coke Utility to a 99-year lease entered into by its. predecessor, according to word received here today by attorneys. : The high court, it was reported, granted an unconditional - writ of certiorari, or review. This means the entire case, instead of merely some particular phase of it, will be reviewed. The lease, which covers mains and other equipment owned by the old Indianapolis Gas Co., was held not binding on the City by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell in the U. S. District Court here a year ago, but his ruling was reversed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. The mains covered by the lease represent about half of those used by the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility. The lease was entered into by the old Citizens Gas Co., which was taken over by the City in 1936. The high court review was sought by William H. Thompson, whose law firm represents the utility.
Refuses Review of NLRB Record Policy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (U. P.).— The Supreme Court today refused a request by Montgomery Ward & Co. for review of its dispute with the Government over the extent to which the Wage and Hour Division may require an employer to produce records.
ENSIGN KITZMILLER CALLED TO SERVICE
Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Ensign William J. Kitzmiller, 1249 Congress Ave. Indianapolis, aviator in the U. S. Naval Reserve, today was ordered into service on the U.'S. S. Wasp, Scouting Squadron 72, the Navy Department announced. Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, who has been placed in command of all the Navy's aircraft in the At-4 lantic, is a native of Evansville and an Annapolis graduate.
‘LOURDES’ TOPIC OF PRIEST'S TALK
The Rev. Fr. Joseph Brokage who spent four years abroad will give a lecture on “Lourdes” at the Catholic Reading Room, Capitol Ave. and Georgia St. tomorrow at 8 p. m. Father Brokhage, assistant pastor at Holy Rosary Church, is one of a succession of lecturers on various religious subjects to be heard Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the reading room. All programs are
time in unoccupied France. Whatever the reason forthe defeat of France, they observe, the fact remains that she is now defeated ' — utterly and hopelessly. Whatever © Hitler demands of her Mr. Simms will. have to be done, whether willingly or unwilllingly. : The one way to make absolutely sure that France is definitely and permanently eliminated from the democratic column, they say, is for the United States and Great Britain to give her to understand she as nothing to hope for from them.
Compelled to Take Orders
On the other hand, the way to induce France to do her utmost to follow Prime Minister Churchill’s advice—“Do nothing against us if you can’t do something for us”—is to let her know that the two great remaining democracies are still her
friends. From the moment of her defeat, it is pointed out, it became inevit-
‘able that she would have to take
orders from the victor, at least for a while, just as Germany did after her defeat by the Allies. The 80-year-old Marshal Petain might have gone into well deserved retirement. Instead, he has preferred to accept deep humiliation because he, probably alone among living Frenchmen, has sufficient prestige to stand between the invaders and his hungry people. And the only way tb win even. the slightest consideration from the Nazis is to comply with certain minimum demands.
Wait, Ameriéan Urges :
Writes one American: . “The least those Americans ca do who, from their well-fed security, egged France on to war against Hitler, is to give Petain and his followers the benefit of the doubt until the fog lifts from Europe. “It is too soen to pass judgment on him now. His long lifetime of honesty entitles him to that. What he needs from America at this time, and what the people of ‘France need, is some slight show of sympathy and understanding. Just a little would go a long way .. . it would be bread cast upon the waters.” Spain Cited as Example -
Significance is seen in the fact that Spain thus far has held out against the Rome-Berlin Axis, the cthief reason being that hungry Spain is allowed to receive a limited amount of food and raw materials through the British blockade. Britain, it is pointed out, is more sympathetic toward France than is the United States, a neutral power.

Conscripted Se
Time spent in a gonscripted army “need in nowise be lost, but can be made to yield important values” to the men enlisted. This was the advice given yesterday by the Rev. E. Burdette Backus in his sermon at the All Souls Unitarian Church. “Some of our ablest educators have long advocated a plan whereby our young men should at some period be required to give a year to national service, being employed in the hard work that is necessary for the physical conquest of our great continent,” the Rev. Mr. Backus pointed out. ; “They have urged that his service would constitute an important part of the education of the youth .of the land,” he continued. “It would ret them up physically for life, it would provide certain important discipline, enable them fo acquire new and’ valuable skills. - “Most important of all, it would give them a sense of belonging, of being partners with their com-

panions in promoting great objectives of our national life.” The Rev. Backus contended that “it is entirely possible to secure most of these values from military training.” & “It is for us to see that as far as the necessities of the military requirements permit the training camps become great universities in which youth can acquire .. . a source of national strength in peace, as well as a strong defense for war,” he said. “We have not produced the necessary leadership either in politics or economics to learn how to organize the complex new world that modern civilization has called into being. . . . “Youth alone is equal to this task. . . . The youth of our day are summoned to the realization that they are matched with a great hour, that they are commanded to be heroes. . . . But they can meet the challenge of this crisis. . . .”
