Airdromes at Schipol and Leeuwarden in Holland and a factory at Solingen in the Ruhr were attacked.

‘ Oil Tanks Are Targets

Other raids were made on the German Merignac airdrome near Bordeaux, on German oil storage tanks and plants at Dortmund and Wanne-Eickey, goods yards at Dottmund and Duisburg-Ruhrort and the German-occupied ports of Lorient, Cherbourg, Le Havre, Ostend and Flushing. The Ministry said that one British plane was lost. The R. A. F. also struck at the Ttalian Adriatic naval base of Pari and Fascist targets in north Afriea. Hundreds of German planes took part in the bombardment of Birmingham throughout the night.

Anti-aircraft guns had put up a terrific barrage, driving the raiders higher, and searchlights picked out an occasional plane for the gunners. It was believed that the Germans had used more planes on the city last night than they ever had used in that area before. .

10 BURNED, 5 BADLY, IN MINE AT DUGGER

CREW OF CRACK TRAIN WATCHES FORNAZI BOMBS

Writer Rides in Cab of Flying Scotsman Into Blacked-0ut London.

By EDWARD W. BEATTIE JR. United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 23.—Like 10,000,000 British householders, Firemah E. Bellamy blacked out the Flying ‘Scotsman pfomptly at 5:30 p. m. ‘as she bore through the dusk toward London at 60 miles an hour. London was only an hour or so away—according to schedule—and the train crew hoped they might

get -some sleep if “Jerry” was quiet. A few chinks of light from the firebox played on the lean face of Engineer Jack Dodd, who weighs about 120 and handles 167.tons of locomotive and tender and 578 tons of cars. r Up out of the misty twilight came train .after train, some passenger but most of them freight. Two long grey gun barrels lay on a flat car. Tarpaulins covered bren gun carriers on others. Many carried the coal that keeps the war industry turning out weapons and the railroads running to deliver them, Other trains were coming along behind us. ‘

Yellow Lights Show Up

Suddenly Locomotive Inspector John Jenkins pointed to two little yellow pin points far ahead. They were a warning to the engineer to reduce to “restrict speed” at the next set of semaphore signals and be prepared to halt at the following set. Dodd nursed the train down to 20 or so, but the next set of signals showed “clear” and we picked up’ speed again. “I thought we were going to get an air raid alarm that time,” he said, putting his head out the cab window -to search the skies. A half hour later it came and we Islowed down to 15, the specified speed for trains during a night air raid alarm. “At 15 we can brake the train to a | standstill within 100 yards if a bomb falls on the track,” Jenkins shouted in my ear. “Even if it fell closer than 100 yards nothing would go into the crafer except the locomotive.” Lifelong Wish Satisfied

I look at the bulk of engine stretching eut into the darkness ahead of me and hoped nothing fell within 100 yards. A trip in the locomotive cab of a train bucking through the night in a crescendo of steam and fire satisfied a life-long wish. I recalled

standing at the edge of a railroad cut in Stonington, Conn., many a summer afternoon hoping someone would invite me into the cab. The trip- was an impressive demonstration of what British rail(roads have to contend with in a war {of the 1940 style. | The number of things which can {happen to a railroad when bombs | start falling is amazing.

| Traffic diverted from other bombed railroads may pile up traffic to many times the. normal load.

A very small Indianapolis citizen got the thrill of her life yesterday when Santa Claus, who swooped down out of the skies in an Eastern Airlines transport, picked her up to listen to a verbal Christmas list. Several thousand wildly excited youngsters jammed around Santa on his arrival at the Municipal Airport. From the airport the jolly saint went directly to the Wm. H. Block Co. Toy Shop where he will stay until the day before Christmas.

BOMBERS USING NEW U. 8. BASES

Long Range Craft Do Work In Place.of Destroyers Sent to Britain.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (U. P.). —Navy sources said today that long-range patrol bombers operating from two of the+=eight bases ob-

tained in the recent deal with Great Britain are doing the work that would have been assigned to the 50 over-age destroyers traded by the United States. Simultaneously the Navy disclosed that President Roosevelt has allocated $25,000,000 from his de{fense “blank check” funds for ad|ditional surveys and to start con[struction on the base sites stretchling from Newfoundland to the northeastern shoulder of South America. . Neutrality patrol areas in North ‘and Central American waters— {which would have been assigned to {the 50 destroyers—now are being covered in the extended range of (the Navy's big patrol bombers working out of. Bermuda and St. Lucia as well as Atlantic coast stations. It was said that one patrol bomber, properly based, can cover in two and one-half hours the distance that a destroyer would have re- | quired 24 hours to patrol. About 50 bombers are on regular jquty and a like number is available {for special assignment in the broad reach from Halifax to St. Lucia.

‘Uruguay to Continue ‘Negotiations With U. S.

BAD CHECK WRITER 1S $325 T0 THE GOOD

Indianapolis police are very much interested in a flashily dressed man with a smooth line of talk who “bounced” out of the city just about as fast as two checks he deposited in the Indiana National Bank “bounced” back here. According to R. B. Malloch, vice president of the bank, who reported the matter to the police today, the man, giving a North Side address, deposited $100 cash in the bank Nov. 12. { On Nov. 14 he was back again, this time with a check for $250, written on the bank of another state. He took $50 cash and left $200 in his account. The following day he presented another check, this time for $175. He deposited $100 of this and kept $75 cash. : On Nov. 16, he informed the bank officials that he was to be transferred to another city and wished to close his account. He drew $300 and left. The checks came bouncing back Nov. 17, and, according to Mr. Malloch, the bank is “out” $328. Three dollars «of that is banking charges.

plomas confer the degree of Doctor of Physio-therapy or Doctor of Naturopathy, as the case may be. “This course comprises a series of eight lectures given on Sundays, an examination and a further requirement of a thesis. The lecturers have been in the main local drugless physicians, some of whom are not licensed. “The examination given after the lecture series is completed is relatively easy, and furthermore the answers to the questions have been placed previously in the hands of the students. In many instances the requirement for a thesis has been waived.. The examination is by correspondence, “Under the contract of enrollment incident to the post graduate course it is provided that the student pays $25 at the time of enrollment and an additional $25 after

The 19 Democratic State Senators yesterday selected Roger Phillips of New Albany as minority floor leader; Marker Sunderland, Muncie, as Democratic caucus chairman, and Thomas Hendricks, Indianapolis, as caucus secretary. Mr. Phillips will be the party's candidate for president pro tem. of the Senate, but since the Republicans will have the majority, Stage Senator William E. Jenner, Republican, will be elected to that post. The 36 Democratic Representatives chose Winfield K. Denton, of Evansville, as the minority floor leader in the Lower House and Howards Batman, of Terre Haute, as the caucus chairman. Mr. Denton will be the party candidate for Speaker of the House but a Republican majority: will put James M. Knapp, of Hagerstown, in that post. The selections were made without contests. State Chairman Fred F. Bays, adgressing the legislators, urged them “not to be obstructionists.” “You should -go along for constructive legislation in order that the party can go before the people in 1942 with a clean record of good government,” he said. Governor M. Clifford Townsend, speaking briefly, urged the legislators to “be helpful in any way possible for good government.”
